Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, specifically to a heat exchanger for a polypropylene air delivery system in a loop process. Background Technology
[0002] The loop reactor process is a continuous gas-phase or liquid-phase polymerization technology with a loop reactor as its core, and it is widely used, especially in the production of polypropylene (PP).
[0003] Typically, this process requires a heat exchanger to facilitate heat reuse. Existing heat exchangers, such as the ring-tube polypropylene pneumatic conveying system heat exchanger with patent publication number CN204142056U, mount the finned main tubes on the end caps. This allows for individual cleaning of each tube bundle via openings on the outer side of the end plate, based on operational conditions, resulting in effective cleaning. Increasing the finned tube spacing and fin gaps prevents dust, lint, and other impurities from clogging the fins, ensuring high heat exchange efficiency. Reinforcing ribs added between the fins prevent bending and detachment, extending the lifespan of the heat exchanger core.
[0004] However, the heat exchange box and end cover of this device are only connected by finned tubes, resulting in poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4The heat exchanger for a polypropylene air-pumped system using a loop pipe includes a connecting flange 1, connecting pipes 2, end caps 3, finned tubes 4, and a heat exchange box 5. Two sets of connecting pipes 2 are each equipped with a connecting flange 1 at their tail ends. The front sides of the two sets of connecting pipes 2 are connected to the rear side of the end cap 3. A finned tube 4 is located in the middle of the front side of the end cap 3, and the front side of the finned tube 4 is connected to the heat exchange box 5. The system also includes a base frame 6, an adjusting screw sleeve 7, an adjusting screw 8, a screw plate 9, a constraint sleeve 10, a slide 11, and a fixing seat 12. The middle of the bottom side of the heat exchange box 5 is connected to the top side of the base frame 6. The inner side of the bottom of the base frame 6 is connected to the outer side of the adjusting screw sleeve 7. The inner wall of the adjusting screw sleeve 7 is screwed to the outer wall of the adjusting screw 8. The top side of the adjusting screw 8 is connected to the middle of the bottom side of the screw plate 9. A set of constraint sleeves 10 is connected to the left and right sides of the bottom side of the base frame 6. The inner wall of each constraint sleeve 10 is... The system is slidably connected to the outer wall of a set of slides 11. The height adjustment screw 8 and the bottom side of the slides 11 are connected to a fixed seat 12 via an adjustable connection mechanism. The system is fixed to the water circulation port of the system via two sets of connecting flanges 1. The system forms a passage via two sets of connecting pipes 2. The end cap 3 is installed and fixed at the port, so that the finned tube 4 is connected to the heat exchange box 5 in the corresponding position. Then, according to the actual height position between the heat exchange box 5 and the ground, the height adjustment screw 8 is turned to rotate. The constraint sleeves 10 on both sides slide and constrain the slides 11. The fixed seat 12 is connected to the adjustable connection mechanism and raised and lowered accordingly. After it is in place, the adjustable connection mechanism adapts to the ground angle so that the fixed seat 12 is fixed to the ground. Thus, the height adjustment screw sleeve 7 and the height adjustment screw 8 are self-locked by the threads, forming a stable support structure to provide auxiliary support for the heat exchange box 5.
[0025] The adjustable connection mechanism includes a circular seat 13, a rotating sleeve 14, a hinge block 15, a hinge shaft 16, and a hinge frame 17. The bottom side of the height adjustment screw 8 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top side of the circular seat 13, and the bottom sides of the two sets of slides 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top side of the circular seat 13. The outer side of the circular seat 13 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating sleeve 14. The bottom side of the rotating sleeve 14 is connected to the top side of the hinge block 15. The outer side of the hinge block 15 is movably connected to the inner side of the hinge frame 17 via the hinge shaft 16. The bottom side of the hinge frame 17 is connected to the middle of the top side of the fixed seat 12. The rotating sleeve 14 rotates on the outside of the circular seat 13, and the hinge frame 17 is constrained to move on the outside of the hinge block 15 via the hinge shaft 16, so that the fixed seat 12 can move and fit against the ground to be fixed, improving practicality.
[0026] It also includes a connecting plate 18, a connecting spring 19, a top support plate 20, and an anti-slip contact circular plate 21. The lower outer side of the height adjustment screw 8 is connected to the inner side of the anti-slip contact circular plate 21. The front side of the top of the circular seat 13 is connected to the bottom side of the connecting plate 18. The rear side of the connecting plate 18 is connected to the front side of the anti-slip contact circular plate 21 via the top support plate 20. Under the connection of the connecting plate 18, the connecting spring 19 can provide elastic support, so that the top support plate 20 acts on the outer side of the anti-slip contact circular plate 21 for support. The static friction generated prevents the anti-slip contact circular plate 21 from rotating without external force, thereby improving stability.
[0027] It also includes a sliding sleeve 22, a sliding rod 23, and a pull tab 24. The inner side of the connecting plate 18 is connected to the outer side of the sliding sleeve 22. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 22 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 23. The front side of the sliding rod 23 is connected to the middle of the rear side of the pull tab 24. The rear side of the sliding rod 23 is connected to the middle of the front side of the top support plate 20. By holding the pull tab 24, the sliding rod 23 can slide forward under the constraint of the sliding sleeve 22, thereby connecting the top support plate 20 to move forward and release the anti-slip contact plate 21, which facilitates the rotation operation of the height adjustment screw 8.
[0028] It also includes an oil nozzle 25, with the outer side of the adjusting screw sleeve 7 connected to the inner side of the oil nozzle 25; oil can be injected into the inner wall of the adjusting screw sleeve 7 through the oil nozzle 25 for convenient lubrication and maintenance.
[0029] It also includes an oil filling cap 26, and the outer side of the oil filling nozzle 25 and the inner side of the oil filling cap 26 can be detachably installed; after the oil filling cap 26 is installed on the outer side of the oil filling nozzle 25, the inside of the oil filling nozzle 25 can be sealed and protected, improving reliability.
[0030] In summary, when the heat exchanger of the loop-tube polypropylene air-pump system is in use, it is fixed to the water circulation port of the system by two sets of connecting flanges 1, and a passage is formed by two sets of connecting pipes 2. The end caps 3 are installed and fixed at the port, so that the finned tubes 4 are connected to the heat exchange box 5 in the corresponding position. Then, according to the actual height position between the heat exchange box 5 and the ground, the sliding rod 23 can be slid forward under the constraint of the sliding sleeve 22 by holding the pull tab 24. This causes the top support plate 20 to move forward and loosen the anti-slip contact circular plate 21. By turning the height adjustment screw 8, the height adjustment screw 8 is rotated, and the constraint sleeves 10 on both sides slide and constrain the slide frame 11. The connecting fixed seat 12 is raised and lowered accordingly. After it is in place, the rotating sleeve 14 rotates the circular seat 1. 3. The outer side rotates and is constrained by the hinge frame 17 via the hinge shaft 16 to move on the outside of the hinge block 15, so that the fixed seat 12 can move and fit against the ground to be fixed. Under the connection of the connecting plate 18, it can be elastically supported by the connecting spring 19, so that the support plate 20 acts on the outside of the anti-slip contact circular plate 21 for support. The static friction generated prevents the anti-slip contact circular plate 21 from rotating without external force. Thus, the height adjustment sleeve 7 and the height adjustment screw 8 are self-locked by the threads, forming a stable support structure to provide auxiliary support for the heat exchange box 5. In addition, oil can be injected into the inner wall of the height adjustment sleeve 7 through the oil injection nozzle 25 for convenient lubrication and maintenance. After the oil injection cap 26 is installed on the outside of the oil injection nozzle 25, the inside of the oil injection nozzle 25 can be sealed and protected to improve reliability.
[0031] The connecting flange 1, connecting pipe 2, end cap 3, finned tube 4, and heat exchange box 5 are all equivalent to the corresponding components of the annular process polypropylene air delivery system heat exchanger of the patented CN2 finned tube 4 rotating sleeve 142 heat exchange box 56U. Here we are just using them without making any structural or functional improvements, so we will not go into detail here.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
