Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchange structure technology, specifically relating to a drive mechanism for a modular heat exchange structure. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchangers are widely used in various industrial sectors and everyday equipment, primarily for temperature control, heat recovery, or ensuring process requirements are met. For example, in the energy and power industry, boilers use economizers to preheat feedwater, improving thermal efficiency. Condensers (in power plants) condense steam discharged from turbines into water, maintaining a vacuum environment. Gas turbines / intercoolers (air coolers) reduce intake air temperature, improving combustion efficiency, and are also used for temperature control in new energy battery packs, etc.
[0003] Traditional heat source devices are equipped with heat exchange devices or structural components. In order to maximize heat exchange efficiency, the heat source device and the heat exchange components are often integrated into one structure. As a result, this type of heat exchange solution has the problem of inconvenient maintenance of the heat exchange components. At the same time, for some equipment that needs to be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged, a separate heat exchange structure needs to be configured for each piece of equipment, which greatly increases the heat exchange cost and also increases the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the equipment, thus limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular heat exchange structure drive mechanism for use, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a driving mechanism for a modular heat exchange structure, comprising a main structure and a heat exchange component and a driving component rotatably mounted on the main structure, wherein a heat source component is supported on the main structure; the free end of the heat exchange component extends to the driving component and overlaps the surface of the driving component, and as the driving component deflects, the free end of the heat exchange component moves along the surface of the driving component and deflects and adheres to the heat source component.
[0006] Preferably, the main structure includes at least one accommodating space for housing a heat source component, and the driving component is configured as a cover for sealing the opening of the accommodating space.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the drive component is provided with a guide surface, which includes a supporting portion. When the drive component deflects to the position of the cover receiving space, the supporting portion of the guide surface tends to be horizontal and abuts against the surface of the heat exchange component.
[0008] Preferably, a rolling element is installed at one end of the heat exchange component near the drive component, and the rolling element rolls along the surface of the drive component when the drive component pushes the heat exchange component to deflect.
[0009] Preferably, the rolling element is a ball or a roller.
[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: The heat exchange component is relatively independent from the heat source component, and the design allows for controllable pressing and separation of the heat exchange component with the heat source component. This facilitates the individual disassembly and replacement of the heat exchange component, reduces maintenance costs, and further reduces the difficulty of disassembly or plugging in heat source components that require repeated insertion or removal. This makes the heat exchange component more versatile. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "both ends", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0017] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-2The illustrated driving mechanism of a modular heat exchange structure includes a main structure 1 and a heat exchange component 2 and a driving component 3 rotatably mounted on the main structure 1. The heat exchange component 2 may be a water-cooled plate. The main structure 1 is used to support the heat source component 4 and to mount the heat exchange component 2 and the driving component 3. The heat exchange component 2 is mounted above or below the heat source component 4. The free end of the heat exchange component 2 extends to the driving component 3 and overlaps the surface of the driving component 3. As the driving component 3 deflects, the free end of the heat exchange component 2 moves along the surface of the driving component 3 toward the heat source component. When component 4 is deflected and pressed tightly, it ensures that the heat source component 4 and the heat exchange assembly 2 are close together for heat exchange, ensuring the normal operation of the heat source component 4. Similarly, when the driving component 3 is deflected in the opposite direction, it loses the driving force on the heat exchange assembly 2, and the pressing force between the heat exchange assembly 2 and the heat source component 4 disappears. At this time, the insertion, removal or disassembly of the heat source component 4 can be easily completed. On the one hand, the heat source component 4 and the heat exchange assembly are designed separately, thereby saving the cost of setting up a heat exchange structure for each heat source component 4. On the other hand, it reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the heat source component 4, making it more applicable.
[0018] In some embodiments, the main structure 1 includes at least one accommodating space 5 for housing a heat source component 4, and the driving component 3 is configured as a cover for sealing the opening of the accommodating space 5. This design addresses heat source components 4 that are installed and removed from the accommodating space 5 via plugging and unplugging. When the cover is open, the free end of the heat exchange component 2 slides down along the inner wall of the cover, causing it to fall and separate from the heat source component 4. Similarly, when the accommodating space 5 needs to be closed, the cover closes, causing the end of the heat exchange component 2 to slide up along the cover, deflect, and approach and adhere to the surface of the heat source component 4 on one side. This design is suitable for heat source components 4 that require protective enclosures. By integrating the normal opening and closing function of the cover with the driving action of the heat exchange component 2, the deflection movement of the heat exchange component 2 is naturally driven, resulting in the pressing or separation of the heat source component 4. This greatly simplifies the heat exchange component driving structure, increases space utilization, reduces configuration costs, and enhances practicality.
[0019] In a further embodiment, the surface of the driving member 3 is provided with a guiding surface 6, which includes a supporting portion 7. When the driving member 3 is deflected to the position of the cover accommodating space 5, the supporting portion 7 of the guiding surface 6 tends to be horizontal and abuts against the surface of the heat exchange component 2. This ensures that after the driving member 3 drives the heat exchange component 2 to be deflected into place, the supporting portion 7 of the guiding surface 6 tends to be horizontal and presses the heat exchange component 2 against the surface of the heat source component 4 to complete the fit, further enhancing the fit between the heat source component 4 and the heat exchange component 2 and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0020] In a further embodiment, a rolling element 8 is mounted on the end of the heat exchange assembly 2 near the drive member 3. The rolling element 8 can be a ball or a roller. When the drive member 3 pushes the heat exchange assembly 2 to deflect, the rolling element 8 rolls along the surface of the drive member 3. This reduces the friction between the end of the heat exchange assembly 2 and the drive member 3, avoids wear on the free end of the heat exchange assembly 2, and ensures the smoothness of the sliding of the free end of the heat exchange assembly 2, allowing the heat exchange assembly 2 to smoothly deflect to a position where it is in contact with the heat source component 4.
[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
