Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a waste collection rack for plate heat exchangers. Background Technology

[0002] Plate heat exchangers are widely used in many industries such as chemical, power, and food. Plate heat exchangers are generally manufactured by first machining through holes in metal plates (stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, aluminum alloy) to accommodate inlet and outlet water pipes, and then welding or pressing in sealing gaskets. This process generates a certain amount of waste. Furthermore, different sizes or shapes of plate heat exchangers produce waste of varying sizes and shapes. If this waste is not properly stored and managed, it will not only occupy production space but may also affect the cleanliness of the workshop and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the common methods for handling waste disposal from plate heat exchangers are rather traditional. On one hand, some companies use simple, ordinary shelves to store the waste, simply piling it up on the shelves. This method is relatively convenient, requiring only suitable shelves. On the other hand, some companies use ordinary trash cans or storage boxes to collect the waste, disposing of it centrally.

[0004] However, existing waste disposal methods have significant drawbacks. Ordinary shelving lacks effective sorting for plate heat exchanger waste, leading to disorganization due to different types of waste, making subsequent cleaning and processing difficult. Ordinary trash cans or storage boxes have limited capacity, failing to meet storage needs for large quantities of plate heat exchanger waste, and are inconvenient to handle. Therefore, a device is needed that can effectively centrally sort and store heat exchanger waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a waste collection rack for plate heat exchangers.

[0006] The plate heat exchanger waste collection rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A plate heat exchanger waste collection rack, comprising:

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the base is provided with a receiving slot for placing the collection component; the lifting component is fixed at the bottom of the base, which facilitates the adjustment of the relative height between the base and the ground, and makes it easy to move and fix the placement frame to adapt to different work requirements; the waste collection device is detachably connected to the base and includes a collection component and a placement component. The collection component is placed in the receiving slot, and the placement component is installed on the top of the base, which can collect different waste materials, realizing the classified storage and efficient management of heat exchange plate waste.

[0011] Preferably, the collecting component is horizontally slidably connected to the base. The collecting component includes a box and multiple pulleys. The box is a hollow structure with an opening at the top. The receiving slot is a cuboid structure with openings on one side and the top. Guide rails are provided on the inner walls of the receiving slot on both sides of the side opening. The pulleys are fixedly installed on both sides of the box and slide in cooperation with the guide rails.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the base is provided with a receiving slot for placing the collection components, and the lifting component makes the placement frame movable and adjustable in height to adapt to different ground conditions; the box body is a hollow structure with an open top to facilitate the collection of waste materials, and the openings on one side and the top of the receiving slot facilitate the removal and placement of the box body. The guide rails on the inner walls of the side openings of the receiving slot cooperate with the pulleys on both sides of the box body to slide, making the box body easier to pull out in the receiving slot and facilitating the centralized processing of waste materials.

[0013] Preferably, the box body includes cross-shaped partitions arranged in a crisscross pattern within the box body, and the partitions and the inner wall of the box body form a matrix of collection slots.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross-shaped partition plates and the inner wall of the box form a matrix arrangement of collection troughs, which can classify and collect waste, avoid mixing different types of waste, and improve waste management efficiency. At the same time, the matrix arrangement of the collection troughs makes the waste placement more orderly and convenient for subsequent cleaning and processing.

[0015] Preferably, the partition plate includes a main partition plate and a secondary partition plate, and the secondary partition plate and the main partition plate are provided with mutually interlocking limiting slots.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the box of the collection component can slide in the receiving groove through the cooperation of pulleys and guide rails. The main and secondary partitions with crisscrossing limit slots are set in the box to form a matrix arrangement of collection grooves, which facilitates the classification and collection of heat exchange plate waste and can also enhance the stability and convenience of the partition plate connection.

[0017] Preferably, the placement assembly includes a support block and a limiting rod. The support block is provided with four blocks and is fixedly installed at the four apex positions on the top of the base. The top surface of each support block is an inclined surface and is located on the same plane. The limiting rod is provided on the side of the base to limit the waste material.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, four load-bearing blocks with inclined surfaces and on the same plane are set at the four top corners of the base, which can bear the waste of the heat exchange plate, and the inclined design facilitates the placement and sorting of waste. Limiting rods are set on the side of the base to limit the placement of waste and prevent it from slipping or shifting.

[0019] Preferably, the top surface of each of the bearing blocks is an inclined surface and located on the same plane. The bearing block includes a first bearing block, a second bearing block, a third bearing block and a fourth bearing block. The first bearing block is close to the side opening of the receiving groove. The fourth bearing block is symmetrically arranged with the first bearing block. The height of the first bearing block is greater than that of the second, third and fourth bearing blocks, and the height of the fourth bearing block is less than that of the second and third bearing blocks.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, based on the base, lifting components and waste collection device (collection components and placement components), the support blocks are set up as a first support block, a second support block, a third support block and a fourth support block with a specific layout and height relationship. The top surface of each support block is inclined and is on the same plane, which allows the waste placed on the support blocks to slide down in a specific direction or tilt and place by its own gravity, which is convenient for subsequent processing. At the same time, this layout is conducive to the rational use of placement space and improves the stability and orderliness of waste placement.

[0021] Preferably, the base is provided with a limiting sleeve on its side, and three limiting sleeves are respectively provided near the second bearing block, the third bearing block and the fourth bearing block, and the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting sleeve in cooperation with the limiting sleeve.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the support block of the component is used to support waste and its inclined design facilitates the placement of waste. The different heights of each support block are conducive to the reasonable placement of waste. Three limiting sleeves are set near the second, third and fourth support blocks respectively. The limiting rod is inserted in conjunction with the limiting sleeve to effectively limit the waste placed on the support block and prevent the waste from slipping.

[0023] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a mounting plate, casters, and a lifting mechanism. The mounting plate is fixedly installed at the four top corners of the bottom of the base. The casters and the lifting mechanism are fixedly installed on the mounting plate. The lifting device is used to adjust the relative height of the base and the ground.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is fixed at the four top corners of the base, and casters and a lifting mechanism are installed on the mounting plate. This allows the placement rack to move via the casters, while the lifting mechanism can adjust the relative height of the base to the ground, making it easier for the placement rack to adapt to different usage scenarios and improving its flexibility and applicability.

[0025] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting base, a nut, a threaded rod, and a support base. The mounting base is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mounting base. One end of the threaded rod away from the mounting base extends into the support base. Two nuts are provided, both passing through the threaded rod and respectively abutting against the mounting base and the support base. Rotating the nut closer to the support base is used to adjust the relative distance between the mounting base and the support base.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the receiving slot of the base can hold the collection component of the waste collection device, the lifting component can facilitate the movement of the frame, and its lifting mechanism can adjust the relative height of the base and the ground. The lifting mechanism adopts the structure of mounting seat, nut, threaded rod and support seat. By rotating the nut close to the support seat, the relative distance between the mounting seat and the support seat can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the relative height of the base and the ground to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0027] Preferably, the bottom surface of the box body is provided with a sliding groove, and the bottom surface of the receiving groove is provided with a slide rail that cooperates with the sliding groove, so that the box body can move along the slide rail in the receiving groove.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding groove on the bottom surface of the box cooperates with the sliding rail on the bottom surface of the receiving groove, enabling the box to move along the sliding rail within the receiving groove.

[0039] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0040] This application provides a waste collection rack for plate heat exchangers. This waste collection rack is particularly suitable for scenarios where the edges of square heat exchanger plates are cut to form circular heat exchanger plates. The circular heat exchanger plates are punched to create through holes for inlet and outlet water pipes. Therefore, during the production of circular plate heat exchangers, two types of waste are generated: edge waste and hole-punching waste, which need to be collected separately and reused.

[0041] refer to Figure 1A plate heat exchanger waste collection rack includes a base 1, multiple lifting components 2, and a waste collection device 3. The base 1 has a receiving groove 11. The lifting components 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1, facilitating the overall movement and height adjustment of the rack. The waste collection device 3 is detachably connected to the base 1 for easy replacement and cleaning. The waste collection device 3 includes a collection component 31 for collecting perforated waste and a placement component 32 for collecting edge waste. The collection component 31 is placed in the receiving groove 11, and the placement component 32 is installed on top of the base 1, achieving the beneficial effects of both flexible rack movement and waste sorting and collection. The lifting components 2 have both a fixed ground state and a moving ground state, allowing the rack to change position as needed, while the waste collection device 3 can sort and store different types of waste.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Specifically, the base 1 is the basic support structure of the entire placement rack, and its receiving slot 11 is a cuboid structure with openings on one side and the top. Guide rails 12 are provided on the inner walls of the receiving slot 11 on both sides of the side opening to facilitate the entry and exit of the collection component 31. At the same time, a sliding rail 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the receiving slot 11 to further ensure the smooth movement of the collection component 31 within the receiving slot 11 and to provide support to ensure the stability of the structure. For example, the base 1 can be made of a high-strength metal material, such as carbon steel, to ensure it can withstand a certain weight of waste. Of course, lightweight metals such as aluminum alloy can also be selected according to the actual situation to reduce the overall weight while ensuring strength.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 Specifically, the lifting assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21, casters 22, and a lifting mechanism 23. The mounting plate 21 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1, serving to connect the base 1 to other components. The casters 22 allow the rack to move flexibly in all directions, improving ease of use. The lifting mechanism 23 is used to adjust the relative height of the base 1 to the ground to adapt to different usage scenarios. For example, when the rack needs to be moved, adjusting the lifting mechanism 23 brings the casters 22 into contact with the ground, thus moving the rack.

[0044] The lifting mechanism 23 includes a mounting base 231, a nut 232, a threaded rod 233, and a support base 234. The mounting base 231 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 21. The threaded rod 233 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 231, with one end of the threaded rod 233 extending into the support base 234. Two nuts 232 are provided, each passing through the threaded rod 233 and abutting against the mounting base 231 and the support base 234 respectively. Rotating the nut 232 closer to the support base 234 engages with the threaded rod 233 to adjust the relative distance between the mounting base 231 and the support base 234, thereby adjusting the height of the base 1. For example, rotating the nut 232 engages with the threaded rod 233, causing the threaded rod 233 to move closer to or away from the support base 234 perpendicular to it. The mounting base 231 and the support base 234 can be made of cast iron to ensure their stability and durability.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Specifically, the collection component 31 is placed inside the receiving slot 11. The collection component 31 includes a box body 311 and multiple pulleys 312. The box body 311 is a hollow structure with an open top, facilitating the loading of waste materials. The pulleys 312 are fixedly installed on both sides of the box body 311 and slide in cooperation with the guide rail 12, allowing the box body 311 to move easily within the receiving slot 11. The box body 311 includes cross-shaped partitions 313 arranged crisscrossingly inside the box body 311. The partitions 313 and the inner wall of the box body 311 form a matrix arrangement of collection slots 314, which can classify and store different types of heat exchange plate waste. The partitions 313 include a main partition 3131 and a secondary partition 3132. The secondary partitions 3132 and the main partitions 3131 are provided with mutually interlocking limiting slots 3133, which can ensure the stability of the partitions 313 during installation. For example, the box body 311 can be made of plastic, which has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, or it can be made of stainless steel, which is more robust and durable. The pulley 312 can be made of rubber to reduce friction and noise between it and the guide rail 12.

[0046] refer to Figures 1-3The placement component 32 is installed on the top of the base 1. The placement component 32 includes a support block 321 and a limiting rod 322. Four support blocks 321 are provided and fixedly installed at the four apex positions of the top of the base 1. The top surface of each support block 321 is inclined and located on the same plane. The inclined surface can be set to 15°, which allows the waste placed on the support block 321 to slowly slide down and be fixed by the limiting rod 322. The support block 321 includes a first support block 3211, a second support block 3212, a third support block 3213, and a fourth support block 3214. The first support block 3211 and the second support block 3212 are located near the side opening of the receiving groove 11. The fourth support block 3214 is symmetrically arranged with the first support block 3211. The height of the first support block 3211 is greater than that of the second support block 3212, the third support block 3213, and the fourth support block 3214. The height of the fourth support block 3214 is less than that of the second support block 3212 and the third support block 3213. This design allows waste placed on the support block 321 to tilt naturally under its own weight, making it easy to place.

[0047] A limiting rod 322 is installed on the side of the base 1 to limit the waste material and prevent it from slipping. A limiting sleeve 13 is provided on the side of the base 1. Three limiting sleeves 13 are respectively positioned near the second support block 3212, the third support block 3213, and the fourth support block 3214. The limiting rod 322 is inserted into the limiting sleeve 13. For example, the support block 321 can be made of wood with a smooth surface to reduce friction between the waste material and the support block 321. The limiting rod 322 can be made of steel pipe to ensure its strength and limiting effect. The length of the limiting rod 322 extending out of the limiting sleeve 13 can be adjusted according to the amount of waste material; for example, it can be adjusted using a pin.

[0048] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the heat exchange plate waste placement rack, by setting up the lifting component 2, allows the placement rack to move flexibly and adjust its height to adapt to different production environments and usage needs. The collection component 31 in the waste collection device 3 achieves classified storage of waste through the partition plate 313, facilitating subsequent cleaning and processing. The special design of the placement component 32, utilizing the inclined surface of the bearing block 321 and the limiting rod 322, ensures the stability and orderliness of waste placement.

[0049] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
