Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning wire tube evaporators, specifically a wire tube evaporator with self-cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] A wire tube evaporator is a device that uses a tube with a stainless steel wire coating on its inner wall for heat transfer. During the evaporation process, the liquid being processed forms a thin film on the outer wall of the wire tube and flows continuously, thereby accelerating the heat transfer process and making the liquid evaporate faster. Its core working principle is to evaporate the liquid by heating, thereby achieving a phase change and thus achieving the purpose of concentration, drying or separation.
[0003] In existing technologies, wire tube evaporators can be used in multiple fields, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, effectively providing low temperatures to meet the low-temperature requirements of different fields. To improve the heat exchange efficiency and ensure the cooling effect of the wire tube evaporator during installation and use, it is usually necessary to use it in conjunction with a powerful fan or expose one side to airflow. However, after long-term use, a significant amount of dust accumulates on the surface of the wire tube evaporator, affecting its normal operation and performance. To reduce the impact of dust, automatic cleaning equipment is typically added to the installation box, using brushes to clean the surface. However, simply moving the brush up and down and left and right is insufficient to effectively and efficiently remove dust from the surface, leaving some dust residue and reducing the cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, simply moving a brush up and down and left and right is not an effective and efficient way to clean the dust on the surface of a wire tube evaporator. This results in some dust remaining on the surface of the wire tube evaporator, which reduces the cleaning effect. Therefore, this invention proposes a wire tube evaporator with a self-cleaning function.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a wire tube evaporator with self-cleaning function, including a box body, a cover plate movably inserted into one side of the box body, an installation plate movably inserted into one side of the box body, a wire tube evaporator body fixedly connected to one side of the installation plate, a connecting block fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the box body, and a cleaning mechanism provided in the inner cavity of the box body.
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a first servo motor, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing. A rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor. A reciprocating plate is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting block. A first fixed ring block and a second fixed ring block are fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate. The surface of the rotating wheel is slidably connected to the surfaces of the first fixed ring block and the second fixed ring block. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate. A cleaning component and a moving component are provided on the surface of the filament evaporator body.
[0007] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a sliding block, one side of which is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame, a rotating rod rotatably connected to one side of the sliding block, a gear fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, a cleaning brush fixedly connected to one end of the gear, and a rack slidably connected to the surface of the sliding block, the teeth of the gear meshing with the teeth of the rack.
[0008] Preferably, the moving component includes a second servo motor, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate. The output end of the second servo motor passes through the reciprocating plate and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod. One end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame, and the surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the sliding block.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing, and a slider is fixedly connected to one side of the rack, with the inner cavity of the slider slidably connected to the surface of the limiting plate.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the box, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame, with the surface of the fixing rod slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting block.
[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, and one side of the reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning brush.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame, and a limiting groove is provided on one side of the sliding block, with the surface of the limiting plate slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, the operation of the first servo motor allows for smooth up-and-down reciprocating motion of the cleaning assembly via the second fixed ring block and connecting frame. The operation of the second servo motor adjusts the position of the cleaning assembly. When the sliding block moves horizontally, it increases the cleaning range of the filament evaporator body. When the sliding block moves vertically, it not only drives the cleaning brush to move up and down but also rotates it through the meshing of the cleaning brush with the rack, thereby improving the cleaning effect. This invention ensures that when workers need to clean the surface of the filament evaporator body, the cleaning brush can move both vertically and horizontally, and rotate itself during vertical movement, thus improving the cleaning effect on the filament evaporator body. It solves the problem that simply relying on the up-and-down and left-and-right reciprocating movement of the brush is insufficient to effectively and efficiently clean the dust on the surface of the filament evaporator, leaving some dust residue and reducing the cleaning effect.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.
[0025] This application discloses a wire tube evaporator with a self-cleaning function. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 A wire tube evaporator with self-cleaning function includes a housing 1, a cover plate 2 movably inserted into one side of the housing 1, an mounting plate 6 movably inserted into one side of the housing 1, a wire tube evaporator body 3 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 6, a connecting block 4 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1, and a cleaning mechanism 5 provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1.
[0026] The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a first servo motor 501, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1. A rotating wheel 503 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 501. A reciprocating plate 502 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting block 4. A first fixed ring block 504 and a second fixed ring block 505 are fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate 502. The surface of the rotating wheel 503 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the first fixed ring block 504 and the second fixed ring block 505. A connecting frame 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate 502. A cleaning component 507 and a moving component 508 are provided on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3.
[0027] The housing 1 serves to install the cover plate 2 and the mounting plate 6, while the mounting plate 6 connects to the wire tube evaporator body 3. The movable connection between the cover plate 2, the mounting plate 6, and the housing 1 facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the wire tube evaporator body 3 by personnel. The first servo motor 501 drives the rotating wheel 503 to rotate. When rotating, the rotating wheel 503 sequentially pushes the second fixed ring block 505 and the first fixed ring block 504, thereby achieving the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the reciprocating plate 502. The connecting frame 506 connected to one side of the reciprocating plate 502 connects the cleaning component 507 and the moving component 508. The cleaning component 507 moves up and down with the reciprocating plate 502, cleaning dust from the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3 during movement. The moving component 508 allows the cleaning component 507 to move during cleaning, thus increasing the cleaning range of the cleaning component 507 when cleaning dust from the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cleaning component 507 includes a sliding block 5071. One side of the sliding block 5071 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame 506. A rotating rod 5072 is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding block 5071. A gear 5073 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 5072. A cleaning brush 5074 is fixedly connected to one end of the gear 5073. A rack 5075 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding block 5071. The teeth of the gear 5073 mesh with the teeth of the rack 5075. The connecting frame 506 can engage the rack 5075 and the rotating rod 5072 via the sliding block 5071. The rotating rod 5072 connects the cleaning brush 5074 and the gear 5073. Meanwhile, the sliding block 5071 moves with the connecting frame 506, thereby driving the cleaning brush 5074 to move up and down. At the same time, the meshing between the rack 5075 and the gear 5073 allows the sliding block 5071 to drive the rotating rod 5072 and the cleaning brush 5074 to rotate when the cleaning brush 5074 moves up and down. This rotation of the cleaning brush 5074 enhances the cleaning effect on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6The moving component 508 includes a second servo motor 5081. One side of the second servo motor 5081 is fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating plate 502. The output end of the second servo motor 5081 passes through the reciprocating plate 502 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 5082. One end of the threaded rod 5082 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame 506. The surface of the threaded rod 5082 is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the sliding block 5071. The second servo motor 5081 can drive the threaded rod 5082 to rotate through its own operation. When the threaded rod 5082 rotates, it can smoothly drive the sliding block 5071 to move, thereby driving the rack 5075 and the cleaning brush. The brush 5074 moves horizontally together, thereby increasing the cleaning range that the brush 5074 can clean when cleaning dust on the surface of the filament tube evaporator body 3. At the same time, the first servo motor 501 and the second servo motor 5081 can be selected as smaller motors to reduce the space occupied. Furthermore, the first servo motor 501 and the second servo motor 5081 can be connected to an external PLC controller to facilitate the start-up of the operation of the first servo motor 501 and the second servo motor 5081 by the operator. The connection between the first servo motor 501 and the second servo motor 5081 and the external PLC controller is prior art in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the rack 5075. The inner cavity of the slider 10 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting plate 9. The limiting plate 9 can limit the rack 5075 through the slider 10, so that the rack 5075 can move more smoothly when moving horizontally. When the reciprocating plate 502 drives the slider 5071 to move up and down, the slider 5071 can slide smoothly inside the rack 5075, so that the rack 5075 is not easy to move up and down with the slider 5071, reducing the possibility of the rack 5075 colliding with the inner cavity of the housing 1 due to up and down movement.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner cavity of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 7, and a fixing rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 506. The surface of the fixing rod 8 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting block 7. The limiting block 7 can restrict the up and down movement of the connecting frame 506 through the fixing rod 8, so that it is not easy to shake or tilt when it moves up and down, which greatly improves the stability of the connecting frame 506 when it moves.
[0032] Reference Figure 6A reinforcing ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 5072. One side of the reinforcing ring 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning brush 5074. The reinforcing ring 11 can reinforce the connection between the rotating rod 5072 and the cleaning brush 5074 through its connection with the rotating rod 5072 and the cleaning brush 5074, so that the rotating rod 5072 can be stable enough when it drives the cleaning brush 5074 to move, and the cleaning brush 5074 is not easy to shake or fall off.
[0033] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the connecting frame 506. A limiting groove 13 is provided on one side of the sliding block 5071. The surface of the limiting plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 13. The limiting plate 12 can limit the movement of the sliding block 5071 through the limiting groove 13, so that when the sliding block 5071 moves by rotating the threaded rod 5082, the movement of the sliding block 5071 is not prone to shaking or slight rotation, thus improving the stability of the sliding block 5071 during movement.
[0034] Working Principle: During operation, the operator can activate the first servo motor 501 and the second servo motor 5081 via an external PLC controller. The first servo motor 501 smoothly drives the rotating wheel 503 to rotate. The rotating wheel 503, through its repeated pushing against the first fixed ring block 504 and the rotating wheel 503, drives the reciprocating plate 502 to move up and down. When the reciprocating plate 502 moves, it smoothly drives the sliding block 5071, the rotating rod 5072, and the cleaning brush 5074 to move together via the connecting frame 506. The cleaning brush 5074, while moving... During the process, the dust on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3 can be cleaned. The gear 5073 and the rack 5075 mesh with each other and rotate when they move. The rotation of the cleaning brush 5074 improves the cleaning effect on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3. At the same time, the operation of the second servo motor 5081 can drive the threaded rod 5082 to reciprocate. The threaded rod 5082 drives the cleaning component 507 to move, so that the cleaning component 507 can clean a larger area when cleaning the dust on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3, thereby achieving the goal of cleaning the dust on the surface of the wire tube evaporator body 3.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
