Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of evaporator technology, and in particular relates to a falling film evaporator with adjustable evaporator tube spacing. Background Technology

[0002] The multiple tube sheets of a falling film evaporator are an important part of its heating evaporation chamber. They generally consist of an upper tube sheet, a lower tube sheet, and sometimes an intermediate baffle. The working principle is to utilize the liquid material to form a uniform liquid film that flows from top to bottom along the inner wall of the heating tube under the action of gravity, vacuum induction, and airflow. During this process, the liquid is heated and vaporized by the heating medium, thus achieving evaporation and concentration.

[0003] Existing evaporator tubes are installed in holes in tube sheets. Since the holes are generally spaced at a fixed interval, the spacing cannot be adjusted according to requirements. An unreasonable spacing may lead to uneven flow of the heating medium, resulting in localized excessively fast or slow flow rates. This can cause localized overheating of the evaporator tubes, affecting the evaporation effect of the material and even causing problems such as material deterioration and coking. To address these issues, we propose a falling film evaporator with adjustable evaporator tube spacing to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a falling film evaporator with adjustable evaporator tube spacing, which allows for adjustment of the installation hole spacing, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A falling film evaporator with adjustable evaporator tube spacing includes an outer tube. A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer tube via a connecting plate. The connecting plate is arranged vertically. A support rod is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the connecting ring. A tube plate is slidably arranged on the inner surface of the connecting ring. The surface of the tube plate is divided into multiple units. The inside of the tube plate has mounting holes, which can be arranged in a square or an equilateral triangle. A sliding block is fixedly connected to the surface of the tube plate. A threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block. A threaded bolt is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded cylinder. A groove is provided at the top of the connecting ring and at a position corresponding to the sliding block. A sliding groove is provided at the part of the connecting ring. The sliding groove communicates with the groove. A through groove is provided on the inner surface of the connecting ring. The through groove communicates with the sliding groove. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the sliding groove. The threaded bolt passes through the threaded cylinder and is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole.

[0006] Preferably, the outer surface of the sliding block is designed with an arc shape, and the outer surface of the sliding block slides with the inner surface of the sliding groove and the through groove.

[0007] Preferably, after the sliding block is embedded in the inner surface of the groove, it rotates clockwise on the inner surface of the sliding groove.

[0008] Preferably, the initial position of the end face at the bottom of the threaded bolt is located on the inner surface of the threaded cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple mounting holes, and the inner surface of each mounting hole can be fitted with a corresponding evaporator tube.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the tubes, this utility model only requires replacing the tube sheet so that the mounting holes inside the tube sheet are in the shape of an equilateral triangle or an equilateral triangle plate. Simply embed the sliding block around the tube sheet into the inner surface of the groove and slide the sliding block clockwise so that the sliding block slides on the inner surface of the sliding groove and the through groove. When it slides to the corresponding position of the threaded hole, the threaded bolt rotates on the inner surface of the threaded cylinder, thereby driving the bottom end face of the threaded bolt to be threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole. By setting the above structure, the purpose of replacing the tube sheet can be achieved, so that the corresponding evaporator tubes can be inserted into the inner surface of the mounting holes, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the spacing of the mounting holes.

[0012] 2. By setting the outer surface of the sliding block to an arc shape, this utility model facilitates the sliding of the sliding block on the inner surface of the sliding groove and the through groove, making the sliding of the sliding block smoother.

[0013] 3. This utility model sets the initial position of the bottom end face of the threaded bolt to be located on the inner surface of the threaded cylinder, thus avoiding the threaded bolt being too low and contacting the inner surface of the sliding groove, thereby hindering the sliding of the sliding block.

The outer surface of the sliding block 7 is designed with an arc shape, allowing it to slide against the inner surfaces of the sliding groove 11 and the through groove 12. By designing the outer surface of the sliding block 7 to be arc-shaped, [the design is achieved]. This facilitates the sliding of the sliding block 7 on the inner surfaces of the sliding groove 11 and the through groove 12, making the sliding of the sliding block 7 smoother. After the sliding block 7 is embedded in the inner surface of the groove 10, it rotates clockwise on the inner surface of the sliding groove 11.

The threaded bolt 9 passes through the threaded cylinder 8 and is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole 13. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the tubes, only the tube plate 4 needs to be replaced, so that the mounting holes 6 opened inside the tube plate 4 are equilateral triangles or equilateral triangle plates. Simply embed the sliding block 7 around the tube sheet 4 into the inner surface of the groove 10, and slide the sliding block 7 clockwise so that the sliding block 7 slides on the inner surface of the sliding groove 11 and the through groove 12. When it slides to the corresponding position of the threaded hole 13, the threaded bolt 9 rotates on the inner surface of the threaded cylinder 8, thereby driving the bottom end face of the threaded bolt 9 to be threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole 13. By setting the above structure, the purpose of replacing the tube sheet 4 can be achieved, so that the corresponding evaporator tube 14 can be inserted into the inner surface of the mounting hole 6, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the spacing of the mounting holes. Example

[0023] Figure 1-4This invention illustrates an embodiment of a falling film evaporator with adjustable evaporator tube spacing, comprising an outer tube 1. A connecting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer tube 1 via a connecting plate 2. The connecting plate 2 is arranged vertically.

[0024] Working principle: When using this utility model, if it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the tubes, simply replace the tube sheet 4 so that the mounting holes 6 inside the tube sheet 4 are equilateral triangles or equilateral triangle plates. Simply embed the sliding blocks 7 around the tube sheet 4 into the inner surface of the groove 10 and slide the sliding blocks 7 clockwise so that the sliding blocks 7 slide on the inner surface of the sliding groove 11 and the through groove 12.
