Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular to a modular electrophoresis tank liquid temperature regulation device. Background Technology
[0002] The existing method for controlling the temperature of the process tanks (phosphating, electrophoresis) in production lines is to install a heat exchange device near the tank and use a heat exchange medium (such as hot water or cold water) to flow inside the heat exchanger and transfer heat to the tank solution, thereby controlling the temperature of the tank solution.
[0003] To improve heat exchange efficiency and temperature control in process tanks, shell-and-tube heat exchangers are often used, such as the Chinese utility model patent disclosed in CN210346413U: a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and a U-shaped shell-and-tube heat exchanger. This application includes a tube box, a shell, and a tube bundle, the tube bundle including a tube sheet and heat exchange tubes; one end of the shell is connected to a reverse flange, and the outer ring of the tube box is provided with a tube box flange. The tube box flange, the reverse flange, and the tube sheet are connected by bolts. Therefore, although shell-and-tube heat exchangers have relatively good heat exchange efficiency to a certain extent, they still have the problem of not being able to fully utilize thermal energy, resulting in energy waste. That is, the internal cavity of the traditional shell-and-tube heat exchanger is interconnected, which makes the fluid temperature near the inlet higher than the fluid temperature near the outlet, resulting in repeated temperature changes of the heat exchange fluid in the heat exchange tubes, and the heat exchange efficiency between the middle of the fluid in the heat exchange tubes and the heat exchange fluid in the heat exchanger is not high. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular electrophoresis tank liquid temperature regulation device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A modular electrophoresis tank solution temperature control device includes a tank body. Multiple legs are fixedly installed at the lower end of the tank body. A first fluid inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the tank body. A first fluid outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the tank body, away from the first fluid inlet pipe. A diverter pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the tank body. A manifold pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body. A tube sheet is movably installed on one side of the tank body. Multiple perforated plates are fixedly installed on one side of the tube sheet, and multiple U-shaped tubes are interlaced between the tube sheet and the multiple perforated plates. An end cap is fixedly installed at one end of the tank body. A second fluid inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the end cap, and a second fluid outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the end cap.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the diversion pipe is provided with a liquid inlet, and the first fluid inlet pipe and the diversion pipe are connected through the liquid inlet cavity.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the diversion pipe is provided with multiple diversion ports. The diversion pipe can divert the fluid transported in by the first fluid inlet pipe to the space formed by the tank and multiple orifice plates.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the manifold is provided with a first drain port, and the first fluid outlet pipe is connected to the manifold through the first drain mouth body.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the manifold is provided with multiple second drain ports, and the diameter of the second drain ports is smaller than that of the diversion port. The manifold can ensure that the tank body and the space composed of multiple orifice plates are relatively isolated. Through the difference in diameter between the diversion port and the second drain ports, the fluid in the tank body can be discharged at a certain pressure through the second drain ports, the manifold, the first drain port, and the first fluid outlet pipe.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the orifice plate is provided with an embedding groove at both the upper and lower ends. The outer surface of the orifice plate is coated with a high-temperature resistant rubber layer. The upper embedding groove is inserted into the outside of the diverter pipe, and the lower embedding groove is inserted into the outside of the manifold pipe. On the one hand, the orifice plate can realize the insertion and installation of multiple U-shaped pipes. On the other hand, the high-temperature resistant rubber layer sprayed on the outside of the orifice plate can divide the cavity inside the tank into multiple sections.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple mixing hoods are fixedly installed inside the U-shaped tube. Both ends of the mixing hoods are provided with guide slopes, and the inner cavity of the mixing hoods is in communication with the external environment of the U-shaped tube. The installation of multiple mixing hoods inside the U-shaped tube allows the heat exchange fluid in the tank to enter the mixing hoods, thus enabling bidirectional heat exchange of the fluid inside the U-shaped tube from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In this invention, a diversion pipe and a manifold are respectively set at the top and bottom of the tank body. This, together with multiple orifice plates, divides the cavities inside the tank body into multiple sections, thereby ensuring the heat exchange temperature of each cavity inside the tank body. Furthermore, in conjunction with multiple mixing hoods set inside the U-shaped tube, the uniformity of the heat exchange fluid temperature in each cavity inside the tank body is ensured, while improving the heat exchange efficiency of the fluid inside the U-shaped tube.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a modular electrophoresis tank solution temperature regulating device, including a tank body 1, multiple support legs 2 fixedly installed at the lower end of the tank body 1, a first fluid inlet pipe 3 fixedly installed at the upper end of the tank body 1, a first fluid outlet pipe 4 fixedly installed at the lower end of the tank body 1 away from the first fluid inlet pipe 3, a diverter pipe 11 fixedly installed at the top inside the tank body 1, a manifold pipe 12 fixedly installed at the bottom inside the tank body 1, a tube sheet 5 movably installed on one side of the tank body 1, multiple perforated plates 9 fixedly installed on one side of the tube sheet 5, and multiple U-shaped tubes 10 interlaced between the tube sheet 5 and the multiple perforated plates 9, an end cap 6 fixedly installed at one end of the tank body 1, a second fluid inlet pipe 7 fixedly installed at the upper end of the end cap 6, and a second fluid outlet pipe 8 fixedly installed at the lower end of the end cap 6.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the diversion pipe 11 is provided with an inlet 13, and the first fluid inlet pipe 3 is connected to the diversion pipe 11 through the cavity of the inlet 13. The lower end of the diversion pipe 11 is provided with multiple diversion ports 14. The diversion pipe 11 can divert the fluid delivered by the first fluid inlet pipe 3 to the space formed by the tank body 1 and multiple orifice plates 9. The lower end of the manifold 12 is provided with a first drain port 15, and the first fluid outlet pipe 4 is connected to the manifold 12 through the cavity of the first drain port 15. The upper end of the manifold 12 is provided with multiple second drain ports 16, and the diameter of the second drain ports 16 is smaller than that of the diversion ports 14. The manifold 12 can ensure that the space formed by the tank body 1 and the multiple orifice plates 9 is relatively isolated. Through the difference in diameter between the diversion ports 14 and the second drain ports 16, the fluid in the tank body 1 can be discharged at a certain pressure through the second drain ports 16, the manifold 12, the first drain ports 15, and the first fluid outlet pipe 4.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the orifice plate 9 has an embedding groove 17 at both the upper and lower ends. The outer surface of the orifice plate 9 is coated with a high-temperature resistant rubber layer. The upper embedding groove 17 is inserted into the outside of the diversion pipe 11, and the lower embedding groove 17 is inserted into the outside of the manifold 12. The orifice plate 9 can realize the insertion and installation of multiple U-shaped pipes 10. On the other hand, the high-temperature resistant rubber layer sprayed on the outside of the orifice plate 9 can divide the cavity inside the tank 1 into multiple sections.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple mixing hoods 18 are fixedly installed inside the U-shaped tube 10. Both ends of the mixing hood 18 are provided with guide slopes, and the inner cavity of the mixing hood 18 is connected to the external environment of the U-shaped tube 10. The multiple mixing hoods 18 installed inside the U-shaped tube 10 allow the heat exchange fluid in the tank 1 to enter the mixing hood 18, so that the fluid in the U-shaped tube 10 can exchange heat bidirectionally from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a modular electrophoresis tank liquid temperature regulation device. During heat exchange, a chiller or hot water heater injects heating or cooling fluid into the tank 1 through a delivery pump, pipeline, and first fluid inlet pipe 3. Subsequently, the fluid flows into the distribution pipe 11 through the liquid inlet 13 at the top of the distribution pipe 11. Multiple distribution ports 14 at the lower end of the distribution pipe 11 evenly distribute the fluid to the space formed by the tank 1 and multiple orifice plates 9, thereby ensuring the heat exchange temperature of each cavity. At the same time, another stream of fluid enters the U-shaped pipe 10 from the second fluid inlet pipe 7 and interacts with the fluid in the tank 1. The first fluid undergoes heat exchange, and the multiple mixing shrouds 18 installed inside the U-shaped tube 10 enable bidirectional heat exchange of the fluid inside the U-shaped tube 10 from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside, greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency and ensuring the uniformity of the temperature of the heat exchange fluid in each cavity. After the heat exchange is completed, the fluid flows into the manifold 12 through multiple second drain ports 16 at the upper end of the manifold 12. Since the diameter of the second drain port 16 is smaller than that of the branch port 14, it can ensure that the fluid in the tank 1 flows at a certain pressure. Finally, the fluid flows out from the first drain port 15 at the lower end of the manifold 12 and is discharged from the device through the first fluid outlet pipe 4.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
