Description
A plate heat exchanger Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a plate heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Plate heat exchangers are highly efficient and compact heat exchange devices widely used in industry, energy, and HVAC fields. Their core structure consists of a series of corrugated metal plates, through which heat exchange between hot and cold fluids is achieved.
[0003] Existing plate heat exchangers include a frame, inlet and outlet connecting pipes, heat transfer plates, sealing gaskets, and a clamping device. The inlet and outlet connecting pipes are installed in the frame, and the heat transfer plates are placed inside the frame and connected to the inlet and outlet connecting pipes. The sealing gaskets are placed between adjacent heat transfer plates, and the clamping device is connected to both the frame and the heat transfer plates. When installing the heat transfer plates into the frame, the lower groove of the heat transfer plate must first be engaged with the lower support plate of the frame. Then, the upper end of the heat transfer plate is tilted backward and inserted into the frame. Finally, the upper end of the heat transfer plate is pushed forward to engage the upper groove of the heat transfer plate with the upper limit post of the frame. This type of heat transfer plate needs to be installed one by one, making installation and disassembly quite cumbersome.
[0004] In the process of implementing this embodiment, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0029] This embodiment provides a plate heat exchanger, as shown in Figures 1-2, including a fixed frame 100, a movable plate 200, a plurality of heat transfer fins 300, a limiting assembly 400, and a plurality of clamping rods 500. The fixed frame 100 is provided with a front fixed plate 110, a lower support plate 120, and a rear fixed plate 130. One end of the lower support plate 120 is fixedly connected to the front fixed plate 110, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rear fixed plate 130. The movable plate 200 is slidably connected to the lower support plate 120. The heat transfer fins 300 are disposed between the front fixed plate 110 and the movable plate 200. The limiting assembly... 400 includes a first connecting rod 410, a limiting rod 420, and a second connecting rod 430; one end of the first connecting rod 410 is hinged to the front fixed plate 110, and the other end is connected to one end of the limiting rod 420; one end of the second connecting rod 430 is hinged to the rear fixed plate 130, and the other end is connected to the other end of the limiting rod 420; in the working state, the limiting rod 420 is respectively engaged with the front fixed plate 110, the movable plate 200 of the heat transfer plate 300, and the rear fixed plate 130; the clamping rod 500 is respectively connected to the front fixed plate 110, the movable plate 200, and the rear fixed plate 130 by bolts.
[0030] Specifically, the fixed frame 100 provides support for the movable plate 200, the heat transfer plate 300, the limiting assembly 400, and the clamping rod 500. The front fixed plate 110 is equipped with a hot water inlet pipe, a hot water outlet pipe, a cold water inlet pipe, and a cold water outlet pipe. The lower support plate 120 is welded to the front fixed frame 100 and the rear fixed frame 100, respectively. The rear fixed plate 130 cooperates with the front fixed plate 110 to ensure that the lower support plate 120 is horizontal. The movable plate 200 is located on the lower support plate 120. The upward sliding mechanism allows the movable plate 200 to clamp the heat transfer conductor 300; the heat transfer conductor 300 is used for heat exchange between cold and hot flows; the limiting component 400 is used to limit the heat transfer conductor 300 and the movable plate 200, and the setting of the first link 410 and the second link 430 restricts the movement trajectory of the limiting rod 420; six clamping rods 500 are provided to move the movable plate 200, thereby clamping several heat transfer conductors 300. In use, install the movable plate 200 onto the lower support plate 120, and insert the clamping rod 500 into one side of the front fixed plate 110, the movable plate 200, and the rear fixed plate 130. Push the limiting rod 420 upwards so that the limiting rod 420 does not engage with the heat transfer plate 300. Then, place the heat transfer plate 300 directly onto the lower support plate 120. After the heat transfer plate 300 is installed, push the limiting rod 420 in the opposite direction so that the limiting rod 420 engages with the heat transfer plate 300, the front fixed plate 110, the movable plate 200, and the rear fixed plate 130. Rotate the nut so that the movable plate 200 clamps several heat transfer plates 300. To disassemble, simply reverse the above steps.
[0031] In this embodiment, the rear fixing plate 130 is provided with a switch mounting component 131 and a switch plate 132; one end of the switch plate 132 is movably connected to the switch mounting component 131, and the other end is connected to the limit rod 420.
[0032] Specifically, the switch mounting component 131 is used to mount the switch plate 132. After the limit rod 420 is engaged with the movable plate 200 and the heat transfer plate 300, the switch plate 132 is connected to the limit rod 420, thereby preventing the limit rod 420 from shaking.
[0033] In this embodiment, the switch mounting component 131 is provided with a spring component 133; one end of the spring component 133 abuts against the switch mounting component 131, and the other end abuts against the switch plate 132.
[0034] Specifically, the spring 133 is used to place the switch plate 132 stably on the limit rod 420, thereby preventing the switch plate 132 from leaving the limit rod 420 and ensuring that the limit rod 420 is more than the limit stability of the heat transfer plate 300 and the movable plate 200.
[0035] In this embodiment, a gasket 134 is provided between the spring member 133 and the switch plate 132.
[0036] Specifically, the gasket 134 is fixedly connected to the spring 133, and the gasket 134 is used to ensure that the spring 133 pushes the switch plate 132 stably.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
