Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor accessories technology, and in particular to a heat exchanger installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Air compressors inevitably generate a significant amount of heat during operation. To protect the compressor and facilitate the use of compressed gas, cooling devices are typically installed to cool the lubricating oil and compressed air, ensuring they are at suitable temperatures. Early air compressors generally only considered cooling, and therefore typically came equipped with only a cooling device without a heat recovery system, resulting in wasted heat. With increasing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, most newer air compressors are now equipped with both cooling and heat recovery systems to improve energy efficiency. Air compressors without a heat recovery system are usually fitted with a heat exchanger for heat recovery. However, since these types of air compressors are not equipped with heat exchangers when they leave the factory, there is no space reserved inside the air compressor for installing a heat exchanger. It is difficult to install a heat exchanger inside the air compressor. Therefore, the heat exchanger is usually installed independently outside the air compressor and then connected to the oil circuit through a pipe. This installation of the heat exchanger will affect the overall appearance of the air compressor. Moreover, since the heat exchanger operates at a high temperature, there is a certain risk of burns.

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problems of complex installation of heat exchangers on existing air compressors, the impact of external heat exchangers on the original appearance of air compressors and the existence of certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat exchanger installation structure that is simple in structure, has good versatility, and is convenient and quick to install.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a heat exchanger installation structure, including a mounting frame, a heat exchanger body disposed on the mounting frame, and a fixing member connecting the heat exchanger body and the mounting frame. The mounting frame is provided with a support surface for placing the heat exchanger body. The fixing member includes a first connecting part, a clamping part, and a second connecting part connected in sequence. The first connecting part is connected to the mounting frame, the clamping part is wrapped around the surface of the heat exchanger body, the second connecting part is disposed at a distance from the support surface, and the second connecting part is detachably connected to the support surface by fasteners.

[0006] The heat exchanger installation structure of this application, by setting up a mounting bracket and fasteners, allows for flexible and convenient operation. When the internal space of the air compressor is relatively compact, the heat exchanger body can be fixed to the mounting bracket first using the fasteners, and then the mounting bracket can be fixed inside the air compressor. When the internal space of the air compressor is more spacious, the mounting bracket can be fixed inside the air compressor, and then the heat exchanger body can be fixed to the mounting bracket using the fasteners. The fasteners are equipped with clamping parts that tightly wrap around the surface of the heat exchanger body when fixing it, which increases the contact area between the fasteners and the heat exchanger body, making the fixation more secure. In addition, there is a gap between the second connecting part and the supporting surface, which, together with the locking force of the fasteners, can firmly fix the heat exchanger body to the mounting bracket. This helps to reduce the resonance generated by the heat exchanger body during the operation of the air compressor, allowing the heat exchanger to operate smoothly and quietly.

[0007] In some implementations, the shape of the clamping part matches the outer contour of the heat exchanger body.

[0008] The above technical solution is adopted so that the shape of the clamping part matches the heat exchanger body, making the clamping part fit the heat exchanger body more closely, which helps to improve the stability of the heat exchanger body after installation, reduce vibration, and make it more secure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion is connected to the adjacent side of the supporting surface or the supporting surface.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting part can be connected to the supporting surface or the adjacent side according to actual needs, and the connection method is flexible and varied.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first connecting part is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the mounting bracket.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the first connecting part can be integrally formed with the mounting bracket or fixedly connected by welding or other means, depending on the requirements. Alternatively, the first connecting part and the mounting bracket can be set as separate structures and then connected and fixed by fasteners.

[0013] In some implementations, the width of the support surface is greater than the width of the heat exchanger body and its contact surface.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the supporting surface can provide a sufficiently wide contact surface, making the heat exchanger body more stable to be installed and fixed, and also reserving space for connection and fixing with the second connection part.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket includes a base and a support base, the support base being fixedly connected to the base, the base having a fixing hole for connecting to the outside, and a support surface being disposed on the support base.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the base can be easily fixed inside the air compressor by setting fixing holes on the base, making the installation of the heat exchanger more convenient and quick.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support base is provided with a locking hole corresponding to the second connecting portion and / or a connecting hole corresponding to the first connecting portion.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, locking holes and / or connecting holes can be provided to facilitate fixing the fastener to the support base.

[0019] In some embodiments, the locking hole is provided on the support surface, and the second connecting part is connected to the locking hole by a fastener.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the second connecting part and the support base can be easily locked with fasteners by setting a locking hole.

[0021] In some embodiments, the connecting hole is provided on the support surface or on the side adjacent to the support surface, and the connecting hole is connected to the first connecting part by a fastener.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the connection hole, the first connecting part and the support base can be detachably connected.

[0023] In some implementations, the mounting bracket is a hollow structure.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting bracket is designed as a hollow structure, which is conducive to the lightweighting of components and the saving of raw materials. Moreover, the hollow structure can also be used as a channel for pipeline installation in some cases, achieving two goals at once. Attached Figure Description

[0038] First embodiment:

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a heat exchanger mounting structure 100, comprising a mounting frame 10, a heat exchanger body 30 mounted on the mounting frame 10, and a fixing member 20 connecting the heat exchanger body 30 and the mounting frame 10. The mounting frame 10 is provided with a support surface 11 for placing the heat exchanger body 30. The fixing member 20 includes a first connecting part 21, a clamping part 22, and a second connecting part 23 connected in sequence. The first connecting part 21 is connected to the mounting frame 10, the clamping part 22 wraps around the surface of the heat exchanger body 30, and the second connecting part 23 is spaced apart from the support surface 11. The second connecting part 23 and the support surface 11 are detachably connected by fasteners (not shown in the figure).

[0040] The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application, by setting up a mounting bracket 10 and a fixing member 20, allows for flexible and convenient operation when installing a heat exchanger. In cases where the internal space of the air compressor is relatively compact, the heat exchanger body 30 can be first fixed to the mounting bracket 10 using the fixing member 20, and then the mounting bracket 10 can be fixed inside the air compressor. Conversely, in cases where the internal space of the air compressor is ample, the mounting bracket 10 can be fixed inside the air compressor, and then the heat exchanger body 30 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 10 using the fixing member 20. The fastener 20 is provided with a clamping part 22. When fixing the heat exchanger body 30, the clamping part 22 tightly wraps around the surface of the heat exchanger body 30, which can increase the contact area between the fastener 20 and the heat exchanger body 30, making it more secure. In addition, there is a gap between the second connecting part 23 and the supporting surface 11. With the locking force of the fastener, the heat exchanger body 30 can be firmly fixed on the mounting bracket 10, which helps to reduce the resonance generated by the heat exchanger body 30 during the operation of the air compressor, so that the heat exchanger can operate smoothly and quietly.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the clamping part 22 matches the outer contour of the heat exchanger body 30. This matching shape ensures a closer fit between the clamping part 22 and the heat exchanger body 30, improving the stability of the heat exchanger body 30 after installation, reducing vibration, and making it more securely fixed. In this embodiment, the clamping part 22 has an opening for securing the heat exchanger body 30. It should be noted that the outer contour of the heat exchanger body 30 here refers to the outer contour of the part in contact with the clamping part 22; it can be the overall contour of the heat exchanger body 30 or the contour of a specific part of the heat exchanger body 30.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 21 is connected to the adjacent side of the supporting surface 11, and the second connecting portion 23 is arranged opposite to the supporting surface 11 in a parallel or nearly parallel manner. Further, both the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 23 are connected to the mounting bracket 10 by fasteners, and the fasteners connected to the first connecting portion 21 and the fasteners connected to the second connecting portion 23 are perpendicular to each other. Optionally, the fastener is a bolt. In other embodiments, the fastener can also be a rivet, and to improve reliability, the fastener should be treated to prevent loosening.

[0043] Preferably, the distance between the second connecting part 23 and the supporting surface 11 is 5-10mm. Within this range, the structural strength of the second connecting part 23 after being connected to the fastener can be ensured, and sufficient space and locking force can be provided for pressing the heat exchanger body 30.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the width of the support surface 11 is greater than the width of the contact surface between the heat exchanger body 30 and the support surface. This ensures that the support surface 11 provides a sufficiently wide contact surface, making the heat exchanger body 30 more stable to install and fix, and also allows space for connection and fixation with the second connection part 23.

[0045] Specifically, the mounting bracket 10 includes a base 12 and a support base 13, which are fixedly connected to the base 12. The base 12 has fixing holes (not shown in the figure) for external connection, and the support surface 11 is provided on the support base 13. By providing fixing holes on the base 12, the base 12 can be easily fixed inside the air compressor, making the installation of the heat exchanger more convenient and quick.

[0046] In this embodiment, the supporting surface 11 is disposed on the top of the support base 13.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support base 13 is provided with a locking hole (not shown) corresponding to the second connecting part 23 and a connecting hole (not shown) corresponding to the first connecting part 21. By providing the locking hole and the connecting hole, it is easy to fix the fastener 20 to the support base 13.

[0048] Furthermore, a locking hole is provided on the support surface 11, and the second connecting part 23 is connected to the locking hole by a fastener. By providing a locking hole, it is easy to lock the second connecting part 23 and the support base 13 by fastener.

[0049] Optionally, the connecting hole is provided on the support surface 11 or on the side adjacent to the support surface 11, and the connecting hole is connected to the first connecting part 21 by a fastener. By providing the connecting hole, it is easy to detachably connect the first connecting part 21 to the support base 13.

[0050] Preferably, the mounting bracket 10 is a hollow structure. The hollow structure of the mounting bracket 10 facilitates the reduction of component weight and saves raw materials. Furthermore, the hollow structure can be used as a channel for pipeline installation in certain situations, achieving two benefits at once.

[0051] Optionally, the fastener 20 can be made of a bendable, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant metal or non-metal material. During installation, it can be bent as needed to form a clamping part 22 that matches the outer contour of the heat exchanger body 30, thus enabling it to have good versatility.

[0052] In this embodiment, each clamping part 22 corresponds to a first connecting part 21 and a second connecting part 23, and multiple fasteners 20 are provided. The number of fasteners 20 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. Each fastener 20 is spaced apart along the length of the heat exchanger body 30. This arrangement can make the heat exchanger body 30 bear force evenly and make the installation and fixation more reliable.

[0053] Second embodiment:

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, this is another embodiment of the heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application. The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, except that the first connecting part 21 and the support base 13 are fixed by welding in this embodiment.

[0055] Third embodiment:

[0056] like Figure 6 The diagram illustrates another embodiment of the heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application. The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, except that the structure of the first connecting portion 21 in this embodiment is similar to that of the second connecting portion 23, both being arranged parallel or nearly parallel to the supporting surface 11. Furthermore, both the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 23 are connected to the supporting surface 11 via fasteners. Optionally, the first connecting portion 21 and the supporting surface 11 can directly abut or be spaced apart.

[0057] Fourth embodiment:

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, this is another embodiment of the heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application. The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, the supporting surface 11 is provided on the side of the support base 13.

[0059] Fifth embodiment:

[0060] like Figure 8As shown, this is another embodiment of the heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application. The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment. The difference is that in this embodiment, the clamping part 22 of the fixing member 20 is a closed ring structure with a shape corresponding to the outer contour of the heat exchanger body 30. When installing and fixing, the fixing member 20 needs to be sleeved on the surface of the heat exchanger body 30 first, and then the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 23 are connected and fixed by fasteners.

[0061] Sixth embodiment:

[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, this is another embodiment of the heat exchanger mounting structure 100 of this application. The heat exchanger mounting structure 100 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, each clamping part 22 corresponds to a plurality of first connecting parts 21 and a plurality of second connecting parts 23. This arrangement provides a larger contact area between the clamping part 22 and the heat exchanger body 30, which can withstand greater impact and vibration.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely 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.
