[0025] First embodiment:
[0026] This embodiment discloses an air-cooled heat exchanger that is easy to assemble.
[0027] The easy-to-assemble air-cooled heat exchanger includes a first frame 1 and a heat exchange assembly.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the first frame 1 has a horizontally penetrating first channel and a vertically penetrating second channel, with the middle of the first channel overlapping the middle of the second channel. The heat exchange assembly includes two tube boxes 2 and a heat exchange tube 3 connected between the two tube boxes 2. The two tube boxes 2 are fixed at the left and right ends within the first channel and are not located within the second channel. The heat exchange tube 3 is positioned within the overlapping portion of the first and second channels.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the first frame 1 includes two parallel plates 11 and four crossbeams 12 perpendicularly connected at the four corners between the two plates 11. Along the length of the plates 11, the adjacent sides of the two crossbeams 12 at the same end form a first channel with the two plates 11. Specifically, the side of the crossbeams 12 closest to the transverse axis of the plates 11 forms the first channel with the two plates 11. Along the height of the plates 11, the adjacent sides of the two crossbeams 12 on the same side and the adjacent sides of the two pipe boxes 2 form a second channel with the two plates 11. Specifically, the sides of the crossbeams 12 and the pipe boxes 2 closest to the longitudinal axis of the plates 11 are flush and form the second channel with the two plates 11.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, furthermore, right-angle sheet metal 21 is provided at the four corners of the side of the two tube boxes 2 away from the axis of the first frame 1. The right-angle sheet metal 21 has two mutually perpendicular sides. One side of the right-angle sheet metal 21 abuts against the crossbeam 12 and is bolted to the crossbeam 12, and the other side of the right-angle sheet metal 21 abuts against the plate 11 and is bolted to the plate 11.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the pipe box 2 is connected to the first pipe 22, and the lower end of the pipe box 2 is connected to the second pipe 23. The end of the crossbeam 12 away from the axis of the first frame 1 is provided with a groove 121, and the first pipe 22 and the second pipe 23 are respectively inserted into the groove 121.

The second frame 4 is connected to the lower end of the first frame 1. For example, extensions 111 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the front and rear sides of the plate 11. The lower extension 111 supports the upper end of the second frame 4 and is screwed to the second frame 4. Preferably, the support legs include first support legs 51 fixed to the four corners of the lower end of the second frame 4 and second support legs 52 bolted to the lower end of the first support legs 51. The second support legs 52 of different lengths can be replaced according to the installation height requirements of the air-cooled heat exchanger.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the air-cooled heat exchanger, which is easy to assemble, also includes a blower assembly. The blower assembly includes a fan cover 62 fixed to the lower end of the second frame 4 and a motor 61 fixed to the lower end of the fan cover 62. The output end of the motor 61 is connected to a fan blade, which is located inside the fan cover 62.
