[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] This application provides an interstage cooler for a circulating air compressor used in liquid oxygen production, solving the problem that some coolers lack a dedicated drainage structure or have an unreasonable drainage structure design, leading to the accumulation of impurities inside the cooler, affecting cooling efficiency and equipment lifespan. Even with a drainage structure, there may be difficulties in disassembly and installation, increasing maintenance costs and time.

[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] Example 1: This utility model embodiment discloses an interstage cooler for a circulating air compressor used in liquid oxygen production, according to the attached... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a cooler housing 1, a cooling pipe 2, a coolant inlet pipe 3, a coolant outlet pipe 4, a drain seat 5, a sludge reservoir 6, and a locking unit 7.

[0037] The cooler housing 1 is the main frame structure of the entire cooler. Flanges 11 are provided on both sides of the cooler housing 1. Cooling pipes 2 are located inside the cooler housing 1 and are fixedly connected to the flanges 11. Coolant inlet pipe 3 is located on the front of the cooler housing 1, and coolant outlet pipe 4 is located on the back of the cooler housing 1. Drain seat 5 is located at the bottom of the cooler housing 1.

[0038] The cooler housing 1 provides installation space and support for other components inside the cooler, forming a relatively enclosed environment that facilitates the circulation of coolant within it.

[0039] When the gas requiring cooling passes through cooling pipe 2, the coolant circulates within the cooler casing 1, carrying away heat from the gas within cooling pipe 2 through heat exchange, thereby achieving gas cooling. Cooling pipe 2 is the core component of the cooling process, effectively cooling the gas through heat exchange, ensuring that the temperature of the gas between stages of the circulating air compressor meets the requirements, and improving the efficiency and stability of the entire air compressor system.

[0040] The coolant inlet pipe 3 is located on the front of the cooler housing 1, and the coolant outlet pipe 4 is located on the back of the cooler housing 1. Coolant enters the cooler housing 1 through the coolant inlet pipe 3, exchanges heat with the cooling pipes 2, and then flows out through the coolant outlet pipe 4, forming a circulating flow of coolant. The design of the coolant inlet pipe 3 and the coolant outlet pipe 4 ensures that the coolant can smoothly enter and exit the cooler, guaranteeing the circulating flow of coolant, continuously removing heat from the gas inside the cooling pipes 2, and maintaining the cooling effect.

[0041] The drain seat 5 is located at the bottom of the cooler housing 1, and the sludge storage seat 6 is movably engaged inside the drain seat 5. During the cooling process, some impurities or dirt may settle at the bottom of the cooler, and these impurities will enter the sludge storage seat 6 through the drain seat 5. When the impurities in the sludge storage seat 6 accumulate to a certain level, they can be removed from the drain seat 5 for cleaning.

[0042] The design of the drain seat 5 and the sludge storage seat 6 facilitates the cleaning of impurities inside the cooler, preventing impurities from accumulating inside the cooler and affecting the cooling effect and equipment lifespan. At the same time, the movable snap-fit ​​design makes it easy to disassemble and install the sludge storage seat 6.

[0043] The locking unit 7 is located on the side of the drain seat 5 and includes a guide rail frame 71, an adjusting seat 72, a locking rod 73, a lead screw 74, and a rotating handle 741. The guide rail frame 71 is fixedly connected to the side of the drain seat 5, the adjusting seat 72 is movably engaged with the guide rail frame 71, the locking rod 73 is located on the adjusting seat 72 and is movably inserted into the locking hole 61 on the side of the drain seat 6, the lead screw 74 is threadedly connected to the guide rail frame 71 and rotatably connected to the adjusting seat 72, and the rotating handle 741 is located on the lead screw 74.

[0044] By rotating the handle 741, the lead screw 74 is driven to rotate. Since the lead screw 74 is threadedly connected to the guide rail frame 71 and rotatably connected to the adjusting seat 72, the rotation of the lead screw 74 will drive the adjusting seat 72 to move on the guide rail frame 71, thereby allowing the locking rod 73 to be inserted into or pulled out of the locking hole 61, thus achieving the locking and limiting of the sludge storage seat 6.

[0045] The locking unit 7 ensures that the sludge storage seat 6 is stably fixed in the sludge discharge seat 5, preventing the sludge storage seat 6 from loosening or falling off during operation and ensuring the normal operation of the cooler; at the same time, it is simple and convenient to operate, and it is easy to disassemble and install the sludge storage seat 6.

[0046] Example 2: This utility model embodiment discloses an interstage cooler for a circulating air compressor used in liquid oxygen production, according to the attached... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a cooler housing 1, a cooling pipe 2, a coolant inlet pipe 3, a coolant outlet pipe 4, a drain seat 5, a sludge reservoir 6, and a locking unit 7.

[0047] Flanges 11 are provided on both sides of the cooler housing 1;

[0048] Cooling pipe 2 is installed inside the cooler housing 1 and is fixedly connected to flange 11;

[0049] The coolant inlet pipe 3 is located on the front of the cooler housing 1;

[0050] The coolant drain pipe 4 is located on the back of the cooler housing 1;

[0051] The drain seat 5 is located at the bottom of the cooler housing 1;

[0052] The waste storage seat 6 is movable and connected to the inside of the waste discharge seat 5;

[0053] The locking unit 7 is located on the side of the drain seat 5 and is used to lock and limit the sludge storage seat 6.

[0054] The sludge reservoir 6 and the sludge drain 5 are internally fitted with a first rubber ring 62. The first rubber ring 62 uses the elasticity of rubber to fill the gap between the sludge reservoir 6 and the sludge drain 5, preventing coolant or impurities from leaking out of the gap.

[0055] The first rubber ring 62 improves the sealing between the sludge reservoir 6 and the sludge drain 5, preventing coolant leakage that could lead to waste and environmental pollution, while also preventing impurities from leaking and affecting the surrounding environment.

[0056] A reinforcing mounting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the side of the drain seat 5; a reinforcing rib 52 is fixedly connected between the reinforcing mounting plate 51 and the drain seat 5. The reinforcing mounting plate 51 increases the area of ​​connection between the drain seat 5 and other components, while the reinforcing rib 52 enhances the connection strength between the reinforcing mounting plate 51 and the drain seat 5, enabling the drain seat 5 to be more stably fixed at the target support position.

[0057] The top of the cooler housing 1 is provided with a top limiting seat 8, and a baffle 9 is movably engaged inside the top limiting seat 8. The baffle 9 can move within the top limiting seat 8 to open or close the opening at the top of the cooler housing 1, facilitating inspection, cleaning and maintenance of the cooler interior.

[0058] A second rubber ring 91 is movably engaged between the top limiting seat 8 and the baffle 9. The second rubber ring 91 utilizes the elasticity of rubber to fill the gap between the top limiting seat 8 and the baffle 9, preventing dust, impurities, and other contaminants from entering the cooler. The second rubber ring 91 improves the sealing performance between the top limiting seat 8 and the baffle 9, protecting the internal components of the cooler from external environmental influences and extending the equipment's service life.
