[0027] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a modularly assembled square plate heat exchanger includes two mounting brackets 14, one above the other, two first heat exchange modules 1 installed between the two mounting brackets 14, and a second heat exchange module 2 installed between the two mounting brackets 14 and between the two first heat exchange modules 1.
[0029] A fixed tube 7 is installed on the side of the second heat exchange module 2 near the two first heat exchange modules 1. A sliding tube 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed tube 7. Furthermore, a rubber gasket is provided on the inner wall of the sliding tube 6. The rubber gasket fits against the outer wall of the fixed tube 7. This arrangement improves the sealing between the sliding tube 6 and the fixed tube 7. A connecting tube 4 is installed on the side of the first heat exchange module 1 near the second heat exchange module 2 and at the corresponding position of the sliding tube 6. A pushing structure is installed between the sliding tube 6 and the fixed tube 7.
[0030] After placing the bottom mounting bracket 14, assemble the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 onto the bottom mounting bracket 14, and install the top mounting bracket 14 on top of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2. Assemble the first heat exchange module 1, the second heat exchange module 2 and the mounting bracket 14 together by means of screws, etc. Water is transferred between the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 through the connecting pipe 4, the sliding pipe 6 and the fixed pipe 7, thereby achieving the heat exchange effect.
[0031] See attached document Figures 4-5 The pushing structure includes a second fixed annular plate 18 fixed to the outside of the fixed tube 7, a first fixed annular plate 16 fixed to one end of the sliding tube 6 near the second fixed annular plate 18, a spring 8 connected between the second fixed annular plate 18 and the first fixed annular plate 16, an electromagnet 9 fixed to one side of the second fixed annular plate 18 near the first fixed annular plate 16, and an iron block 10 set on one side of the first fixed annular plate 16 near the second fixed annular plate 18 and at the position corresponding to the electromagnet 9.
[0032] An electromagnetic three-way valve 17 is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 4, and a guide pipe 3 is connected between the two electromagnetic three-way valves 17.
[0033] When the second heat exchange module 2 needs to be disassembled and replaced, firstly change the flow direction of the solenoid three-way valve 17, thereby breaking the flow between the connecting pipe 4 and the sliding pipe 6, while keeping the guide pipe 3 open. Then, the iron block 10 is attracted by the electromagnet 9, causing the sliding pipe 6 to move towards the fixed pipe 7 and compress the spring 8. At this time, the connecting pipe 4 and the sliding pipe 6 are separated, and the second heat exchange module 2 is extracted separately for repair. After repair, the second heat exchange module 2 is reset and the sliding pipe 6 is aligned with the connecting pipe 4. The electromagnet 9 is closed, so that the electromagnet 9 cancels the attraction of the iron block 10. Through the setting of the spring 8, the sliding pipe 6 moves to contact the connecting pipe 4, and the flow direction of the solenoid three-way valve 17 is changed again, so that the passage between the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 is restored, completing the repair of the second heat exchange module 2.
[0034] If maintenance is required on the first heat exchange module 1, the flow direction of the electromagnetic three-way valve 17 close to one of the first heat exchange modules 1 can be closed, thereby allowing water to flow unilaterally between the second heat exchange module 2 and the other first heat exchange module 1, and then the first heat exchange module 1 can be pulled out for maintenance. Furthermore, the top and bottom of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are provided with T-shaped strips 15, and the mounting bracket 14 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the T-shaped strips 15 on the inner side of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2. With this arrangement, when the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are reset after maintenance, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can slide through the T-shaped strips 15 and the sliding grooves on the mounting bracket 14 until the T-shaped strips 15 slide to the horizontal bar, blocking the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 from continuing to move. At this time, the connecting pipe 4 and the sliding pipe 6 are just aligned.
[0035] Furthermore, the heat exchanger in this application can consist of more than one second heat exchange module 2. In other words, this application can have multiple second heat exchange modules 2, as long as the flow effect of the guide pipe 3 in the multiple second heat exchange modules 2 is guaranteed.
[0036] See attached document Figure 6 The connecting tube 4 and the sliding tube 6 are respectively fixed with a first bonding piece 5 and a second bonding piece 11 at their close ends. The first bonding piece 5 is provided with a conductive groove 13 on the side close to the second bonding piece 11, and the second bonding piece 11 is provided with a conductive protrusion 12 corresponding to the conductive groove 13 on the side close to the first bonding piece 5. According to the above structure, the first bonding piece 5 and the second bonding piece 11 are both made of flexible material. This arrangement makes the connection and sealing between the second bonding piece 11 and the first bonding piece 5 better, and the material of the second bonding piece 11 and the first bonding piece 5 can be rubber or the like.
[0037] With this arrangement, when the second bonding piece 11 and the first bonding piece 5 come into contact with each other, the sealing of the connecting tube 4 and the sliding tube 6 can be guaranteed. After the conductive protrusion 12 is inserted into the conductive groove 13, a passage is formed between the conductive protrusion 12 and the conductive groove 13. The passage of the electromagnetic three-way valve 17 can only be changed after the internal sensor detects that the conductive protrusion 12 and the conductive groove 13 are in contact.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
