Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchange structure technology, specifically relating to a drive mechanism for a modular heat exchange structure. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchangers are widely used in various industrial sectors and everyday equipment, primarily for temperature control, heat recovery, or ensuring process requirements are met. For example, in the energy and power industry, boilers use economizers to preheat feedwater, improving thermal efficiency. Condensers (in power plants) condense steam discharged from turbines into water, maintaining a vacuum environment. Gas turbines / intercoolers (air coolers) reduce intake air temperature, improving combustion efficiency, and are also used for temperature control in new energy battery packs, etc.
[0003] Traditional heat source devices are equipped with heat exchange devices or structural components. In order to maximize heat exchange efficiency, the heat source device and the heat exchange components are often integrated into one structure. As a result, this type of heat exchange solution has the problem of inconvenient maintenance of the heat exchange components. At the same time, for some equipment that needs to be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged, a separate heat exchange structure needs to be configured for each piece of equipment, which greatly increases the heat exchange cost and also increases the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the equipment, thus limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular heat exchange structure drive mechanism for use, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a driving mechanism for a modular heat exchange structure, comprising:
[0006] The main structure is used to install heat exchange components, drive components, and components that carry the heat source.
[0007] The heat exchange assembly is arranged parallel to the opposite surface of the component carrying the heat source, and is slidably installed along the direction close to or away from the heat source component;
[0008] A drive assembly is used to push the heat exchange assembly to slide along the direction close to the heat source component.
[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a slider slidably mounted on the main structure and wedges respectively disposed on the opposing surfaces of the slider and the heat exchange assembly, wherein the inclined surfaces of the opposing wedges abut and slide in contact.
[0010] Preferably, there are no fewer than two sets of wedges between the heat exchange assembly and the slider.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the slider is provided with a bouncer, and the movable part of the bouncer abuts against the slider.
[0012] Preferably, the main structure includes at least one accommodating space for housing a heat source component, a cover is rotatably mounted at the opening of the accommodating space, and one end of the slider extends out of the accommodating space;
[0013] When the lid closes the opening of the accommodating space, the inner wall of the lid presses against the end of the slider, pushing the slider to slide into the accommodating space.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: The heat exchange component is relatively independent from the heat source component, and the design allows for controllable pressing and separation of the heat exchange component with the heat source component. This facilitates the individual disassembly and replacement of the heat exchange component, reduces maintenance costs, and further reduces the difficulty of disassembly or plugging in heat source components that require repeated insertion or removal. This makes the heat exchange component more versatile. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "both ends", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-2 The driving mechanism of the modular heat exchange structure shown includes: a main structure 1 for mounting a heat exchange component 2, a driving component 3, and a heat source support component 4; the heat exchange component 2 can be a water-cooled plate, which is installed above or below the heat source support component 4 and is arranged parallel to the opposite surface of the heat source support component 4, and can be slidably installed along the direction close to or away from the heat source support component 4 by the driving component 3.
[0023] When the heat source component 4 is working, it generates a large amount of heat. The drive component 3 pushes the heat exchange component 2 to slide along the direction close to the heat source component 4, so that the heat exchange component 2 is in contact with the surface of the heat source component 4, and performs heat exchange operation on the heat source component 4 to ensure the normal operation of the heat source component 4.
[0024] Furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble or plug in the heat source component 4, the driving component 3 can release the pressure of the heat exchange component 2 on the heat source component 4, thereby making it easier to disassemble and install the heat source component 4. Similarly, when the driving component deflects in the opposite direction and loses the driving force on the heat exchange component 2, the clamping force between the heat exchange component 2 and the heat source component 4 disappears. At this time, the plugging or disassembling operation of the heat source component 4 can be easily completed. On the one hand, the heat source component 4 and the heat exchange component are designed separately, thereby saving the cost of setting up a heat exchange structure for each heat source component 4. On the other hand, the disassembly and assembly difficulty of the heat source component 4 is reduced, making it more applicable.
[0025] In a further embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes a slider 310 slidably mounted on the main structure 1 and wedges 320 respectively disposed on the opposing surfaces of the slider 310 and the heat exchange assembly 2. The inclined surfaces of the opposing wedges 320 are abutted and slidably engaged. When the slider 310 slides, relative movement occurs between the slider 310 and the heat exchange assembly 2. At this time, the corresponding wedges 320 between the two slide relative to each other, and the inclined surfaces of the wedges 320 slide relative to each other. At this time, the heat exchange assembly 2 slides away from the slider 310 and moves closer to the heat source component 4 until it is tightly attached to the surface of the heat source component 4. This drive assembly 3 occupies little space, is hidden in position, does not affect the overall spatial arrangement of the equipment, and has a relatively simple structure and low configuration cost.
[0026] In addition, the drive component 3 drives the heat exchange component 2, which is parallel to the surface of the heat source component 4, to move and press against the heat source component 4. The overall pressing force is uniform and the fit is higher, which ensures the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, it reduces the probability of the heat exchange component 2 being deformed under pressure and improves its service life.
[0027] In some embodiments, a rebounder 5 is provided at one end of the slider 310, and the movable part of the rebounder 5 abuts against the slider 310. The rebounder 5 enables the slider 310 to automatically reset. When it is necessary to disassemble the heat source component 4, it is only necessary to release the lock of the slider 310, and the rebounder 5 can automatically reset the slider 310 without manual or mechanical pushing and pulling, thus speeding up the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0028] In some embodiments, the main structure 1 includes at least one accommodating space 6 for housing a heat source component 4. A cover 7 is rotatably mounted at the opening of the accommodating space 6, and one end of a slider 310 extends out of the accommodating space 6. When the cover 7 closes the opening of the accommodating space 6, the inner wall of the cover 7 presses against the end of the slider 310, pushing the slider 310 to slide into the accommodating space 6. For some heat source components 4 that are installed in the accommodating space 6 and are disassembled by plugging and unplugging, the opening and closing of the cover 7 naturally drives the deflection movement of the heat exchange component 2, which presses against or separates from the heat source component 4. This results in a stronger overall structure, higher space utilization, lower configuration cost, and greater practicality.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
