Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporators, and in particular to an evaporator structure with a vibration damping base. Background Technology

[0002] An evaporator is a device used to convert liquid into gas, and its working principle is based on thermodynamic laws and the principle of phase change. In an evaporator, by providing heat, the liquid absorbs energy and evaporates into a gaseous form, achieving a phase change process. The core components of an evaporator typically include a heating chamber and an evaporation chamber. The heating chamber provides heat to raise the temperature of the liquid to be evaporated. When the liquid receives sufficient heat, its temperature reaches its boiling point, and it begins to vaporize in the evaporation chamber, forming steam. After the steam separates from the liquid, it is discharged from the evaporator, while the concentrated liquid is discharged from the appropriate outlet of the evaporator according to process requirements.

[0003] In current industrial applications, evaporators, as key heat exchange devices, are mostly fixed using a combination of brackets and bolts. While this method is relatively simple to install and disassemble, it has significant shortcomings in terms of vibration damping performance.

[0004] Specifically, the fixing method of brackets and bolts mainly relies on rigid connections, which have relatively limited ability to buffer and dampen vibrations and impacts that may occur during evaporator operation. This may lead to the risk of loosening, wear, or even damage to the evaporator after long-term operation due to continuous vibration and impact, thereby affecting the stability and service life of the evaporator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an evaporator structure with a vibration-damping base, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An evaporator structure with a vibration damping base includes an evaporator tank, a mounting bracket, end caps, and connecting pipes. The mounting brackets are located at both ends of the evaporator tank, the end caps are installed at the openings at both ends of the evaporator tank, and the connecting pipes are installed and connected to the evaporator tank.

[0008] The lower end of the mounting bracket is provided with a connecting base, and the outer side of the connecting base is provided with a groove. A movable rod is connected to the groove by fasteners. The lower end of the movable rod is provided with a limiting plate, and the rod body of the movable rod is fitted with a fixing sleeve and a first shock-absorbing spring. The fixing sleeve is located at the lower end of the first shock-absorbing spring.

[0009] The lower end of the fixed sleeve is connected to a limiting sleeve, and the lower end of the limiting sleeve is connected to a replaceable mounting base. The limiting sleeve is installed on the building body through the replaceable mounting base. The limiting sleeve is embedded in the hole of the building body. The limiting plate is placed in the limiting sleeve and then restricted by the fixed sleeve. The limiting plate moves up and down in the limiting sleeve to achieve shock absorption.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second shock-absorbing spring is provided between the limiting plate and the replaceable mounting base. The second shock-absorbing spring is connected to the limiting plate or the replaceable mounting base by bolts to further enhance the shock absorption performance.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting base and the mounting bracket are designed as an integral unit, with grooves symmetrically distributed on the connecting base. The movable rod passes through the connecting base and is inserted into the groove. The fasteners are fastening nuts and anti-slip washers. The fastening nuts and anti-slip washers are sleeved on the upper end of the movable rod, and the grooves limit the upward movement distance of the movable rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movable rod and the limiting plate are designed as an integral part, the first shock-absorbing spring and the movable rod pass through the upper opening of the fixed sleeve, and the two ends of the first shock-absorbing spring are provided with rings, which are sleeved on the movable rod;

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixed sleeve has a "T" shaped cross-section and is connected to the limiting sleeve by threads. The contact end between the limiting sleeve and the limiting plate is smooth, and the edge of the limiting plate is arc-shaped.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the replaceable mounting base is divided into a mounting part and a threaded connection part. The threaded connection part is located at the upper end of the mounting part and is connected to the limiting sleeve through the threaded connection part. The mounting part is a drill bit or a connecting flange.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The designed vibration damping mechanism, including a movable rod, a first damping spring, a fixed sleeve, a limiting sleeve, a second damping spring, and a replaceable mounting base, effectively absorbs and disperses evaporator vibrations. This design not only reduces the vibration impact on the surrounding environment during equipment operation but also improves the stability and safety of the equipment. This vibration damping design is particularly important in vibration-sensitive environments such as laboratories and hospitals.

[0017] The replaceable mounting base design simplifies and expedites the installation and removal process. When the vibration damping mechanism needs replacement or repair, simply loosen the bolts to easily remove the replaceable mounting base without disassembling the entire evaporator structure. This not only saves maintenance time and costs but also improves the maintainability of the equipment.

[0018] The design of the limiting sleeve and limiting plate ensures effective control over the vertical movement range of the movable rod during shock absorption, preventing damage or instability caused by excessive movement. Simultaneously, this design enhances the equipment's shock resistance, enabling stable operation when subjected to external impacts or vibrations. The use of fastening nuts and anti-slip washers further ensures the stability of the movable rod within the groove, preventing vibration transmission due to loosening. This meticulous design not only improves the overall performance of the equipment but also extends its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an evaporator structure with a vibration-damping base mainly consists of an evaporator tank 1, a mounting bracket 2, end caps 3, and connecting pipes 4. The purpose of this structural design is to improve the stability and vibration damping effect of the evaporator. The mounting bracket 2 is carefully designed and installed at both ends of the evaporator tank 1 to ensure the stability and safety of the tank. The end caps 3 are installed at the openings at both ends of the evaporator tank 1 to ensure the tank's sealing and prevent liquid leakage. The connecting pipes 4 are installed on the evaporator tank 1 to connect the various components, enabling the evaporator to operate normally and ensuring its operating efficiency.

[0026] At the lower end of the mounting bracket 2, a connecting base 5 and a shock-absorbing mechanism are designed, with a groove 6 on its outer side. A movable rod 7 is connected to the groove 6 via fasteners 8, and a limiting plate 11 is provided at the lower end of the movable rod 7. To achieve the shock-absorbing function, a fixed sleeve 10 and a first shock-absorbing spring 9 are fitted onto the body of the movable rod 7, with the fixed sleeve 10 located at the lower end of the first shock-absorbing spring 9. This design can effectively absorb and disperse vibrations, reducing the impact of equipment vibration on the surrounding environment.

[0027] The lower end of the fixed sleeve 10 is connected to a limiting sleeve 13, and the lower end of the limiting sleeve 13 is connected to a replaceable mounting base 14. The replaceable mounting base 14 is connected to the limiting sleeve 13 by bolts, and then installed on the building body. The limiting sleeve 13 is embedded in the hole in the building body, and the limiting plate 11 is placed in the limiting sleeve 13 and then restricted by the fixed sleeve 10, so that the limiting plate 11 can move up and down in the limiting sleeve 13, thereby realizing vibration damping operation. This design can effectively protect the building body and prevent damage to the building body caused by excessive equipment vibration.

[0028] To further enhance vibration damping performance, a second damping spring 12 is provided between the limiting plate 11 and the replaceable mounting base 14. The second damping spring 12 is connected to the limiting plate 11 or the replaceable mounting base 14 by bolts. The connecting base 5 and the mounting bracket 2 are designed as a single unit, with grooves 6 symmetrically distributed on the connecting base 5. The movable rod 7 passes through the connecting base 5 and is inserted into the groove 6. The fasteners 8 consist of a fastening nut and an anti-slip washer, which are fitted onto the upper end of the movable rod 7. The groove 6 limits the upward movement distance of the movable rod 7. This design can effectively prevent excessive movement of the movable rod 7 and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0029] The movable rod 7 and the limiting plate 11 are integrated into one piece. The first damping spring 9 and the movable rod 7 pass through the opening at the upper end of the fixed sleeve 10. The first damping spring 9 has rings at both ends, which are fitted onto the movable rod 7. The fixed sleeve 10 has a T-shaped cross-section and is connected to the limiting sleeve 13 by threads. The contact end between the limiting sleeve 13 and the limiting plate 11 is smooth, and the edge of the limiting plate 11 is arc-shaped to reduce wear. This design effectively reduces friction between components and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0030] The replaceable mounting base 14 consists of a mounting section and a threaded connection section. The threaded connection section is located at the upper end of the mounting section and connects to the limiting sleeve 13 via the threaded connection section. The mounting section is a drill bit or a connecting flange, so that the mounting base can be firmly installed on the building body, ensuring the stability and vibration damping effect of the entire evaporator structure. This design can effectively prevent equipment movement and vibration, ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0031] Assembly Process: Install end caps 3 at both ends of the evaporator tank 1 to ensure the tank is sealed. Install connecting pipes 4 onto the evaporator tank 1 to connect the various components for normal operation. Fix connecting base 5 to the lower end of mounting bracket 2. Connect movable rod 7 to the outer groove 6 of connecting base 5 using fasteners 8. Fit fixing sleeve 10 and first damping spring 9 onto the body of movable rod 7, ensuring the first damping spring 9 is located at the lower end of fixing sleeve 10. Fix limiting plate 11 to the lower end of movable rod 7. Connect limiting sleeve 13 to the lower end of fixing sleeve 10. Embed limiting plate 11 into limiting sleeve 13 and restrict it with fixing sleeve 10 to ensure limiting plate 11 can move up and down. Install second damping spring 12 between limiting plate 11 and replaceable mounting base 14 and connect them with bolts. Connect replaceable mounting base 14 to limiting sleeve 13 with bolts. Ensure that the mounting part (drill bit or connecting flange) of the replaceable mounting base 14 is securely installed on the building body. Secure the upper end of the movable rod 7 with a fastening nut and anti-slip washer to ensure that the movable rod 7 is limited in its upward movement within the groove 6.

[0032] Operating Procedure: Ensure all components are correctly installed and secure. Check that connecting pipe 4 is properly connected and leak-free. Turn on the power to the evaporator tank 1 or start the system. Ensure the evaporator is operating normally, with liquid circulating inside the tank through connecting pipe 4. Observe the equipment's operating status, ensuring there is no abnormal vibration or noise. Regularly check that the shock absorption mechanism is functioning properly, and that the moving rod 7 and limit plate 11 move freely within the limit sleeve 13. Regularly inspect and replace worn parts, such as the first shock absorption spring 9 and the second shock absorption spring 12. Clean and maintain the connecting base 5 and mounting bracket 2, ensuring no dust or dirt accumulation. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, immediately turn off the power. Inspect and repair any parts that may be causing the problem, such as fasteners 8 or connecting pipe 4. After the evaporation process is complete, turn off the power. After ensuring the equipment has completely stopped operating, perform routine cleaning and maintenance.
