Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of impact-resistant seawater coolers, and more specifically, it relates to an impact-resistant seawater cooler. Background Technology
[0002] Seawater coolers are devices that use seawater as a cooling medium and are widely used in ships, offshore platforms, industrial facilities, and other places requiring heat dissipation. Their main function is to remove excess heat from equipment or processes through the flow of seawater, maintaining the equipment's normal operating temperature. Seawater coolers are typically made of corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the erosion of salt and other corrosive substances in seawater. Depending on their working principle, seawater coolers can be classified into various types, such as shell-and-tube and plate coolers, to suit different cooling needs.
[0003] Seawater coolers are often used on ships or offshore platforms. On these platforms or ships, waves or storms can cause the equipment to be impacted. However, current coolers often lack corresponding protective measures, and waves and storms may cause structural damage or leaks to the coolers, affecting cooling efficiency or leading to more serious malfunctions.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide an impact-resistant seawater cooler, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an impact-resistant seawater cooler, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0006] An impact-resistant seawater cooler includes a shell, a structural groove on one side of the shell extending through both sides, a heat exchange tube bundle disposed within the structural groove, a sealing cap at each groove opening of the shell, a support frame at the bottom of the shell, a pair of support bases at the bottom of the support frame, and a mounting frame at the top of the shell. Mounting grooves are formed on both sides of the mounting frame, and connecting blocks are connected to each mounting groove. A protective shell is connected to each pair of connecting blocks on the side away from the mounting grooves. A plurality of fixing rods are provided on the side of the protective shell facing the shell. Fixing blocks are provided on both sides of the shell, and each fixing block has a plurality of fixing grooves corresponding to the fixing rods. The fixing rods are movably connected to the fixing grooves.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned fixing slots is provided with a compression spring, and the compression spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has a pair of threaded holes on its outer side, and the pair of threaded holes respectively pass through the pair of mounting slots. The connecting block has a fixing hole corresponding to the threaded hole. The mounting bracket is provided with a bolt through the threaded hole, and the bolt is connected to the fixing hole through the threaded hole.
[0009] Furthermore, a rubber wear-resistant ring is provided inside the fixing hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the protective shell is made of high-strength polycarbonate material.
[0011] Furthermore, the sealing cap is provided with a pair of connecting pipes.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, the combined use of the protective shell, mounting bracket, mounting groove, and connecting block can effectively improve the impact resistance of the cooler. The combined use of the compression spring, fixing groove, fixing rod, fixing block, and rubber wear-resistant ring can effectively improve the impact resistance of the protective shell, enabling it to buffer the impact force and extend the service life of the protective shell.
