Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a metal component, specifically to a metal fin for an air-cooled heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Shell-and-tube heat exchangers, also known as tubular heat exchangers, are indirect heat exchangers that use the walls of tube bundles enclosed in a shell as the heat transfer surface. These heat exchangers are simple in structure, low in cost, have a wide flow cross-section, and are easy to clean of scale. They can be manufactured using various structural materials and can be used under high temperature and high pressure, making them the most widely used type. Finned tubes are a type of heat exchange element. To improve heat exchange efficiency, fins are typically added to the surface of the heat exchange tubes to increase the outer (or inner) surface area, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Metal fins, as a heat exchange element, are usually fitted onto the surface of the heat exchange tubes in a heat exchanger to improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, 201620624227.8 describes a metal fin with a conical funnel and a drip hole. This utility model discloses a metal fin with a conical funnel and a drip hole. The metal fin with a conical funnel and a drip hole includes a metal fin, a drip hole, a conical funnel hole, and a conical funnel. Its characteristic is that the metal fin is connected to the drip hole, the drip hole is connected to the metal fin, the metal fin is connected to the conical funnel hole, the conical funnel hole is connected to the metal fin, and the metal fin is connected to the conical funnel.
[0004] The existing technology uses conical funnels to connect metal fins, which has a simple structure, low cost, and high heat exchange efficiency. However, the metal fins in the existing technology cannot adjust the heat dissipation gap and cannot effectively control the heat dissipation area. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing metal fins that cannot adjust the heat dissipation gap, this utility model provides a metal fin for air-cooled heat exchange equipment.
[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a metal fin for an air-cooled heat exchanger, comprising a metal fin and a mounting base, wherein mounting holes are provided on the mounting base, the mounting base is divided into a left mounting base and a right mounting base, and an installation position is provided between the left mounting base and the right mounting base, wherein a metal fin is provided within the installation position, the metal fin extends into the installation position through the mounting holes, a heat exchange pipe is provided on the metal fin, a metal fin is provided on the heat exchange pipe, and a gap adjustment component is provided on the metal fin.
[0007] The gap adjustment component is a gap adjustment rod, which is provided with external threads, and the metal fin is provided with a matching threaded hole.
[0008] A clearance adjustment rod is fitted inside the adapter threaded hole, and the clearance adjustment rod and the adapter threaded hole are threaded together and connected.

[0010] The assembly hole is provided with an assembly bolt, and one side of the assembly plate is provided with an inner groove, which is filled with a wear-resistant gasket.
[0011] Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows the heat source to be transferred through heat exchange pipes when heat dissipation is required. Relying on heat exchange pipes ensures a clear and unobstructed heat transfer path. Metal fins are installed on the heat exchange pipes to dissipate heat quickly, further enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency. A gap adjustment rod is provided on the metal fins, allowing for external adjustment of the fin's length and control of its opening angle. This enables control and adjustment of the heat dissipation direction and area of the metal fins. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0017] A metal fin for an air-cooled heat exchanger includes a metal fin 1 and a mounting base. The mounting base has mounting holes and is divided into a left mounting base 3 and a right mounting base 4. An installation position is provided between the left mounting base 3 and the right mounting base 4. The metal fin 1 is installed in the installation position and extends into the installation position through the mounting holes. A heat exchange pipe 4 is provided on the metal fin 1, and the metal fin 1 is installed on the heat exchange pipe 4. A gap adjustment component is provided on the metal fin 1.
[0018] To further ensure the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange equipment, the heat source can flow through the heat exchange pipe 4. The heat source can be hot water or hot air. As the hot water or hot air passes through the heat exchange pipe 4, the heat is dissipated through the metal fins, fulfilling the heat transfer requirement of the metal fins 1. However, the gap of the metal fins 1 cannot be adjusted. A gap adjustment component, a gap adjustment rod 5, is used to adjust the heat dissipation gap, further ensuring the heat dissipation effect. The gap adjustment rod 5 has an external thread, and the metal fins 1 have a matching threaded hole. The gap adjustment rod 5 is fitted into the matching threaded hole, and the gap adjustment rod 5 and the matching threaded hole are threaded together. Because the metal fins are made of flexible thin steel plates, they have flexible characteristics. The bending angle of the metal fins can be adjusted by adjusting both sides of the gap adjustment rod 5. An adjustment nut 2 is provided on the gap adjustment rod 5 to control the gap adjustment rod 5.
[0019] The locking distance can be adjusted so that in areas or working environments where large-area heat dissipation is not required, the metal fins 1 can be slightly bent under the adjustment of the gap adjustment rod 5, thereby reducing the heat dissipation area.
[0020] The metal fins need to be further assembled with the heat dissipation unit, so left and right mounting seats are provided on the metal fins. The left and right mounting seats are used to assemble with the heat dissipation unit. The left mounting seat 3 and right mounting seat 4 are provided with assembly components, namely assembly plates 6. Assembly plates 6 are provided with assembly holes, and assembly bolts 7 are provided in the assembly holes. The assembly bolts are used to assemble the metal fins and the heat dissipation unit, making the assembly more stable. One side of the assembly plate 6 is provided with an inner groove, and wear-resistant gaskets 8 are filled in the inner groove.
[0021] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
