[0002] The heat exchanger tube bundle is one of the core components of a heat exchanger, consisting of many metal tubes. Two fluids of different temperatures flow through the tube bundle, and heat is transferred from the high-temperature fluid to the low-temperature fluid, thus achieving heat exchange. When the high-temperature fluid flows inside the tube bundle, heat is transferred to the low-temperature fluid outside the tube bundle through the tube wall; conversely, when the low-temperature fluid flows inside the tube bundle, heat is transferred from the high-temperature fluid outside the tube bundle to the low-temperature fluid inside the tube bundle.
[0003] During the installation of the heat exchanger tube bundle, the tube bundle needs to be inserted into the heat exchanger shell. This process requires manual lifting of the tube bundle, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When the pipes are long and heavy, a crane is used. However, the crane will shake after lifting the tube bundle, which is not conducive to the assembly of the tube bundle. In addition, the crane is not convenient for adjusting the posture of the tube bundle.
[0004] Therefore, to address the above problems, an auxiliary device for assembling heat exchanger tube bundles and shells can be designed. This device uses a ground-based mechanical structure to lift the tube bundles and adds a multi-directional adjustment mechanism, allowing operators to easily insert the tube bundles into the heat exchanger shell to complete the assembly.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment: an auxiliary device for assembling a heat exchanger tube bundle and shell, including a movable base 1, a conveying roller 6, and a lifting assembly. The movable base 1 is equipped with casters at its bottom, and a lifting platform 3 is positioned above it. A lifting assembly is located between the lifting platform 3 and the movable base 1.

An adjusting assembly is located between the lifting platform 3 and the first adjusting platform 4. A second adjusting platform 5 is positioned above the first adjusting platform 4, with one bottom side of the second adjusting platform 5 rotatably connected to the same top side of the first adjusting platform 4. An electric telescopic rod 8 is positioned between the first adjusting platform 4 and the second adjusting platform 5. The two ends are rotatably connected to the first adjusting platform 4 and the second adjusting platform 5 respectively. A conveying roller 6 is provided above the second adjusting platform 5, and limit components are provided at both ends above the second adjusting platform 5. By setting the conveying roller 6 to carry and facilitate the movement of the tube bundle, the lifting component can raise or lower the height of the lifting platform 3, thereby adjusting the height of the tube bundle. The electric telescopic rod 8 can extend or retract, so that the angle between the first adjusting platform 4 and the second adjusting platform 5 changes, thereby adjusting the posture of the tube bundle within a certain range, which is convenient for the oblique installation of the U-shaped tube bundle. The adjusting component can adjust the angle between the lifting platform 3 and the first adjusting platform 4, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the tube bundle within a certain range, which is convenient for the installation of the tube bundle in uneven ground environments. The limit components prevent the tube bundle from slipping off the side of the conveying roller 6.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a scissor lifting frame 201, a first threaded rod 202, a first movable seat 203, and a first drive motor 204.

The bottom of the scissor lifting frame 201 is provided with the first movable seat 203, which is rotatably connected to the scissor lifting frame 201. The inner side of the first movable seat 203 is provided with the first threaded rod 202, which is threadedly connected to the first movable seat 203. The two ends of the first threaded rod 202 have opposite thread directions, and one end of the first threaded rod 202 is provided with the first drive motor 204. The first drive motor 204 drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate. The opposite thread directions at both ends of the first threaded rod 202 drive the two sets of first movable seats 203 to move closer or further apart, causing the scissor lifting frame 201 to deform and thus causing the lifting platform 3 to move up and down.
[0023] Please see Figure 3In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes an inclined plate 706, a second movable seat 702, a second threaded rod 701, and a second drive motor 707. The second movable seat 702 is positioned above the lifting platform 3, and a roller 705 is positioned above the second movable seat 702, rotatably connected to the second movable seat 702.

The second movable seat 702 is provided with first guide blocks 703 on both sides, and the connection between the lifting platform 3 and the first guide blocks 703 is provided with a first guide groove 704. The second drive motor 707 drives the second threaded rod 701 to rotate, which drives the second movable seat 702 to slide above the lifting platform 3 under the guidance of the first guide blocks 703 and the first guide groove 704. During the movement of the second movable seat 702, the roller 705 contacts the inclined plate 706, which lifts one end of the first adjusting platform 4 or lowers one end of the first adjusting platform 4, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the first adjusting platform 4 and the tube bundle.
[0024] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting rod 901, a second guide block 902, and a second guide groove 903. The second guide groove 903 is provided at both ends of the second adjusting platform 5. The second guide block 902 is provided in the second guide groove 903 and is slidably connected to the second guide groove 903. The limiting rod 901 is provided above the second guide groove 903.

The threads at both ends of the third threaded rod 904 are opposite in direction. A force-bearing block 905 is provided at one end of the third threaded rod 904. When a tool is inserted into the force-bearing block 905 and rotated, the third threaded rod 904 rotates and, using the opposite threads at both ends of the third threaded rod 904, drives the two sets of second guide blocks 902 to move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of limiting rods 901.
[0025] When using the device, the tube bundle is placed above the conveyor roller 6, and the tube bundle is moved to a suitable position using the movable base 1 with casters. A tool is inserted into the force block 905 and rotated, causing the third threaded rod 904 to rotate. The opposite threads at both ends of the third threaded rod 904 drive the two sets of second guide blocks 902 to move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of limit rods 901. Then, the first drive motor 204 drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate, and the opposite threads at both ends of the first threaded rod 202 drive the two sets of first movable seats 203 to move closer or further apart, causing the scissor lifting frame 201 to deform, thereby moving the lifting platform 3 up and down, so that the tube bundle moves to a suitable height. Subsequently, the electric telescopic mechanism is activated. The extension or retraction of rod 8 changes the angle between the first adjusting platform 4 and the second adjusting platform 5, thereby adjusting the posture of the tube bundle within a certain range, facilitating the oblique installation of the U-shaped tube bundle. The second drive motor 707 drives the second threaded rod 701 to rotate, causing the second movable seat 702 to slide above the lifting platform 3 under the guidance of the first guide block 703 and the first guide groove 704. During the movement of the second movable seat 702, the roller 705 contacts the inclined plate 706, lifting one end of the first adjusting platform 4 or lowering one end of the first adjusting platform 4, thereby adjusting the inclination angle between the first adjusting platform 4 and the tube bundle, so that the tube bundle can correspond to the hole position of the heat exchanger shell. Finally, the tube bundle is pushed to insert the tube bundle into the heat exchanger shell to complete the assembly.
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
