[0024] Specifically, the gasket body 2 provides fixed support for the fixing box 3. The gasket body 2 and the fixing box 3 limit the movement of the handle 4. The handle 4 then drives the sliding block 5 to slide on the outer wall of the fixing column 6. The fixing box 3 provides fixed support for the fixing column 6. The fixing column 6 then provides auxiliary support and limits the movement of the sliding block 5. At the same time, the sliding block 5 compresses the spring 7. The sliding block 5 then drives the rotating plate 8, which in turn drives the limiting block 9 to slide inside the fixing box 3 and the heat exchanger body 1. This allows for quick replacement of the gasket body 2. The fixing box 3 limits the movement of the limiting block 9, and the limiting block 9 limits the movement of the heat exchanger body 1.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The support assembly includes a fixing plate 11, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat exchanger body 1, and a fixing block 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 11; a hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 10, and a U-shaped block 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12; a support column 14 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped block 13, and a connecting piece 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support column 14; a rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected inside the connecting piece 15, and a pressing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 16; the outer wall of the pressing plate 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the gasket body 2.
[0026] Specifically, the heat exchanger body 1 provides fixed support for the fixing plate 11, which in turn provides fixed support for the fixing block 10. The fixing block 10 provides fixed support for the hydraulic cylinder 12. The hydraulic cylinder 12 drives the U-shaped block 13, which in turn drives the support column 14 to move. The support column 14 drives the connecting piece 15, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 16 to move. The rotating shaft 16 drives the pressing plate 17 to press and fix the gasket body 2.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 A connecting shaft 18 is fixedly connected inside the pressing plate 17, and a support block 19 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 18; the outer wall of the support block 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 11.
[0028] Specifically, the pressing plate 17 drives the connecting shaft 18 to rotate inside the support block 19, the fixing plate 11 provides fixed support for the support block 19, and the support block 19 limits the movement of the connecting shaft 18.
[0029] Working principle: When this component is needed, the handle 4 is slid inside the gasket body 2 and the fixing box 3, and the handle 4 drives the sliding block 5 to slide on the outer wall of the fixing column 6. At the same time, the sliding block 5 compresses the spring 7, and the sliding block 5 drives the rotating plate 8 to drive the limiting block 9 to slide inside the fixing box 3 and the heat exchanger body 1, so that the gasket body 2 can be quickly replaced.
[0030] After replacement, the hydraulic cylinder 12 inside the fixing block 10 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 12 drives the U-shaped block 13, which in turn drives the support column 14. The support column 14 drives the connecting piece 15, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 16 to move. As the rotating shaft 16 moves, it drives the pressing plate 17 to press and fix the gasket body 2. At the same time, the pressing plate 17 drives the connecting shaft 18 to rotate inside the support block 19. This component can significantly shorten the gasket removal time, making maintenance work faster and more efficient, helping to reduce production losses caused by downtime maintenance, improving overall operating efficiency, and removing the gasket without the need for complicated operations or cumbersome tools. It can also ensure close contact between the gasket and the heat exchanger plates during installation, eliminating gaps between the gasket and the plates, thereby effectively preventing media leakage and improving sealing performance.
