Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchanger sealing technology, and in particular, it is a high-performance heat exchanger sealing strip. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger is an energy-saving device that enables heat transfer between two or more fluids at different temperatures. It transfers heat from a higher-temperature fluid to a lower-temperature fluid, bringing the fluid temperature to the specified parameters of the process to meet the requirements of the process conditions. It is also one of the main devices for improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0003] Currently, even high-performance heat exchanger seals will dry out and lose adhesion and sealing properties after prolonged use, affecting the subsequent sealing performance of the heat exchanger.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this situation, there is an urgent need to design and produce a high-performance heat exchanger seal to meet the needs of practical use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-performance heat exchanger seal to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-performance heat exchanger seal, comprising a seal body used as a high-performance heat exchanger seal, a first connector fixedly connected to the side of the seal body, a pressing member slidably connected to the upper side of the first connector, a pressing plate fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressing member and slidably connected to the inner wall of the first connector, a water bladder connected to the lower side of the pressing plate, a water supply pipe connected to the lower side of the water bladder, an outlet connected to the output end of the water supply pipe, and a suction cup connected to the lower side of the first connector.
[0007] Preferably, a reset spring connected to the inside of the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressing plate, and a water inlet is connected to the upper side of the water bladder.
[0008] Preferably, a first sealing plug is installed at the end of the water inlet away from the water bladder, and a connector is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sealing strip body.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting block for fixing the auxiliary sealing strip body is installed on the side of the connector, and an airbag is connected inside the limiting block.
[0010] Preferably, the input end of the airbag is connected to an air inlet, and the end of the air inlet away from the airbag is connected to an air supply pipe with a valve.
[0011] Preferably, the connector has an internal vent pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the suction cup has a water outlet connected to its inner side.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This high-performance heat exchanger seal connects to the heat exchanger interface via a first connector. During prolonged use, water continuously seeps from the outlet into the water bladder to wet the suction cup. If the temperature is high, the pressing component can be pressed, which moves the pressing plate. The pressing plate compresses the water bladder, transporting water through the water pipe to the outlet. This prevents the suction cup from drying out during prolonged use, which could lead to insufficient adhesion, lack of bonding and sealing, and affect the subsequent sealing of the heat exchanger, thus impacting the seal's performance.
[0015] At the same time, when fixing the seal body, the connector and limiting block are placed in the groove, and air is pumped into the air pipe to cause the airbag to expand, thereby fixing the seal body and making it easy to disassemble the seal body. Attached Figure Description

[0023] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0024] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.
[0025] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0026] To address the issue that after prolonged use, the surface of the heat exchanger seals dries out and loses adhesion and sealing properties, thus affecting the subsequent sealing performance of the heat exchanger, such as... Figures 1 to 4 The diagram illustrates a high-performance heat exchanger seal, comprising a seal body 1 used as a high-performance heat exchanger seal. A first connector 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the seal body 1. A rubber pad is attached to the side of the first connector 2 to provide friction for the movement of a pressing plate 7. A pressing member 3 is slidably connected to the upper side of the first connector 2. A pressing plate 7, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first connector 2, is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressing member 3. A water bladder 8 is connected to the lower side of the pressing plate 7, and a water inlet is connected to the lower side of the water bladder 8. Water pipe 11, the output end of water pipe 11 is connected to water outlet 10, suction cup 6 is connected to the lower side of first connector 2, and reset spring 9 connected to the inside of first connector 2 is fixedly connected to the lower side of pressing plate 7. Pressing pressing part 3 causes pressing plate 7 to move through the movement of pressing part 3, and the movement of pressing plate 7 causes water bag 8 to be compressed, and water is pushed into water pipe 11. Reset spring 9 can cause pressing plate 7 and pressing part 3 to rebound. Water inlet 4 is connected to the upper side of water bag 8.
[0027] A first sealing plug 5 is installed at the end of the water inlet 4 away from the water bladder 8. A connector 12 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sealing strip body 1. After long-term use, water will continuously seep out of the water outlet 10, wetting the suction cup 6. A limiting block 13 for fixing the sealing strip body 1 is installed on the side of the connector 12. An air bladder 16 is connected inside the limiting block 13. The air pump is started to inflate the air supply pipe 15 and transport the air to the air bladder 16 through the air inlet 14. The air bladder 16 expands and fixes the sealing strip body 1. The input end of the air bladder 16 is connected to the air inlet 14. The end of the air inlet 14 away from the air bladder 16 is connected to the air supply pipe 15 with a valve. An electric valve is provided on the side of the air supply pipe 15 to prevent the air bladder 16 from leaking. A vent pipe 17 is opened inside the connector 12. The water outlet 10 is connected to the inner side of the suction cup 6.
[0028] All structures and instruments are treated with heat-resistant and waterproof materials.
[0029] The suction cup 6 and the air supply pipe 15 are both conventional devices. Their working principle, size and model are not related to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. They are both controlled by remote control switches. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0030] Working principle
[0031] During use, the high-performance heat exchanger seal is operated by placing the limiting block 13 and the connector 12 in the groove, starting the air pump to inflate the air supply pipe 15, and transporting the air to the air bladder 16 through the air inlet 14. The air bladder 16 expands to fix the seal body 1, and at the same time connects the suction cup 6 to the heat exchanger. After long-term use, water will continuously seep out of the outlet 10 to wet the suction cup 6. At the same time, the pressing part 3 can be pressed, and the movement of the pressing part 3 will drive the pressing plate 7 to move. The movement of the pressing plate 7 will drive the water bladder 8 to compress, press the water into the water supply pipe 11, and transport the water to the outlet 10 to wet the suction cup 6. At the same time, the return spring 9 can drive the pressing plate 7 and the pressing part 3 to rebound.
