Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange device technology, specifically a compact terminal heat exchange device that integrates heating and cooling. Background Technology

[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that transfers some of the heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid; it is also called a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers play an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food, and many other industrial productions. In chemical production, heat exchangers can be used as heaters, coolers, condensers, evaporators, and reboilers, and are widely used. With the increasing demands for building energy conservation and indoor environmental comfort, integrated heating and cooling systems are widely used in the building sector.

[0003] Traditional terminal heat exchange devices typically employ a split design, which suffers from problems such as loose structure, low heat exchange efficiency, and inconvenient maintenance. In particular, during long-term operation, scale, impurities, or microorganisms can easily accumulate on the inner and outer walls of the heat exchange tubes, leading to decreased heat exchange efficiency, increased energy consumption, and even affecting the system's lifespan.

[0004] Existing cleaning methods mostly rely on manual disassembly or chemical rinsing, which are cumbersome and may damage the equipment. In addition, traditional devices lack real-time monitoring functions, making it difficult to optimize operating efficiency. To address this, we propose a compact terminal heat exchange device that integrates heating and cooling. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a compact terminal heat exchange device that integrates heating and cooling. It adopts an internal cleaning unit (liquid pump + detergent + rotating scraper) to automatically remove dirt from the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, and an external cleaning unit (sweeping brush + spray pipe) to clean impurities on the outer wall. With the help of temperature and flow sensors to monitor the operating status in real time, it significantly improves heat exchange efficiency and reduces energy consumption. Automated cleaning reduces manual maintenance. It is suitable for building heating and cooling systems and has outstanding advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, intelligent control, and convenient maintenance. It can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compact terminal heat exchange device integrating heating and cooling, comprising a frame and an internal cleaning unit;

[0007] Frame: Heat exchange tubes are uniformly fixedly installed inside. The water inlet on the left side of the heat exchange tube is connected to the end of the upper liquid distribution tube, and the water outlet on the left side of the heat exchange tube is connected to the end of the lower liquid distribution tube. The other end of the upper liquid distribution tube is equipped with a liquid inlet pipe, and the other end of the lower liquid distribution tube is equipped with a liquid outlet pipe. An external cleaning unit is provided inside the frame.

[0008] Internal cleaning unit: includes a liquid pump, a cleaning agent tank and a delivery pipe. The liquid pump is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning agent tank. The outlet of the liquid pump is connected to the inlet on the top of the inlet pipe through the delivery pipe.

[0009] It also includes a connecting pipe, which is fixed to the surface of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, and the input end of the liquid pump is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller.

[0010] Cold and hot water are transported to the heat exchange tubes through the distribution pipe on the surface of the inlet pipe, which enables the heat exchange device to provide heating and cooling. The liquid pump is started to inject the cleaning agent from the cleaning agent tank to clean the inside of the inlet pipe, outlet pipe and heat exchange tubes.

[0011] Furthermore, the internal cleaning unit also includes a liquid level sensor, a first motor, a fixed shaft, and a rubber scraper. The liquid level sensor is fixed to the top surface of the cleaning agent tank. There are two first motors, which are respectively fixed to the rear sides of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.

The input end of the first motor is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller, and the output end of the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the input end of an external controller. Starting the first motor drives the rubber scraper on the outside of the fixed shaft to rotate, which can improve the cleaning effect of the inner walls of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. The liquid level sensor automatically monitors the remaining cleaning agent to avoid cleaning failure due to insufficient reagent.

[0012] Furthermore, the external cleaning unit includes a fixed column, a lifting seat, a second motor, a lead screw, and a cleaning brush. The second motor is evenly fixed on the right side of the top surface of the frame, and the fixed column is evenly fixed on the left side inside the frame.

The sliding hole on the surface of the lifting seat is slidably connected to the fixed column. The cleaning brush is slidably installed in the mounting grooves on the front and rear sides of the lifting seat. The input end of the second motor is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller. Starting the second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat to rise and fall, so that the cleaning brush can clean the dust adhering to the surface of the heat exchange tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the external cleaning unit also includes an anti-detachment frame, a placement seat, a cleaning nozzle, and a linear motor. There are two linear motors, which are respectively fixed at both ends of the front side of the frame. The front side of the linear motor actuator is provided with a placement seat. The interior of the placement seat is inserted into the end of the nozzle. The anti-detachment frame is slidably installed on the outside of the placement seat. The input end of the linear motor is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller. The linear motor drives the cleaning nozzle to rise and fall, and starts an external air pump to blow air to the outside of the heat exchange tube. This automatically removes dust or frost from the outer wall of the heat exchange tube, avoiding a decrease in heat exchange efficiency due to dirt accumulation.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is installed on the front side of the inlet pipe, and the second temperature sensor is installed on the front side of the outlet pipe. The output terminals of the first and second temperature sensors are electrically connected to the input terminal of an external controller. The first temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the inlet water, while the second temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the outlet water. This allows for real-time detection of the liquid temperature, thereby meeting different heating and cooling needs.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes flow sensors, of which there are two and are respectively installed on the surfaces of two corresponding connecting pipes. The output end of the flow sensor is electrically connected to the input end of an external controller, and the flow sensor can detect the water flow rate.

The first motor is started to drive the rubber scraper on the outside of the fixed shaft to rotate. This can improve the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the inlet pipe and outlet pipe. The liquid level sensor automatically monitors the remaining cleaning agent to avoid cleaning failure due to insufficient reagent.

[0018] 2. By starting the second motor to drive the lead screw to rotate, the lifting seat is raised and lowered. At the same time, the linear motor drives the cleaning nozzle to rise and fall. The external air pump is started to blow air to the outside of the heat exchange tube, and the cleaning brush automatically removes dust or frost from the outer wall of the heat exchange tube, avoiding a decrease in heat exchange efficiency due to dirt accumulation.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a compact terminal heat exchange device integrating heating and cooling, including a frame 1 and an internal cleaning unit 2;

The input end of the motor 33 is electrically connected to the output end of the external controller. The second motor 33 is started to drive the lead screw 34 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat 32 to rise and fall, so that the cleaning brush 35 can clean the dust adhering to the surface of the heat exchange tube 8. The external cleaning unit 3 also includes an anti-detachment frame 36, a placement seat 37, a cleaning nozzle 38 and a linear motor 39.

[0026] Internal cleaning unit 2 includes a liquid pump 21, a detergent tank 22, and a delivery pipe 23. The liquid pump 21 is fixed to the bottom surface of the detergent tank 22. The outlet of the liquid pump 21 is connected to the inlet on the top surface of the inlet pipe 4 via the delivery pipe 23. Internal cleaning unit 2 also includes a liquid level sensor 24, a first motor 25, a fixed shaft 26, and a rubber scraper 27.

This can improve the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5. The liquid level sensor 24 automatically monitors the remaining amount of cleaning agent to avoid cleaning failure due to insufficient reagent.

[0027] The system also includes a connecting pipe 7, which is fixed to the surfaces of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5. The input end of the liquid pump 21 is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller. Cold water and hot water are transported to the interior of the heat exchange tube 8 through the distribution pipe 6 on the surface of the inlet pipe 4, thus enabling the heat exchange device to provide heating and cooling.

[0028] The working principle of the integrated heating and cooling compact terminal heat exchange device provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the connecting pipe 7 connects the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 to the external hot and cold water pipes respectively. The cold and hot water are transported to the heat exchange tube 8 through the distribution pipe 6 on the surface of the inlet pipe 4, so that the heat exchange device can achieve the function of heating and cooling. The liquid pump 21 is started to inject the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent tank 22 to clean the inlet pipe 4. The first motor 25 drives the rubber scraper 27 on the outside of the fixed shaft 26 to rotate, which can improve the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5. The liquid level sensor 24 automatically monitors the remaining cleaning agent to avoid insufficient reagent. In case of cleaning failure, while performing internal cleaning, the second motor 33 is activated to drive the lead screw 34 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat 32 to rise and fall. This allows the cleaning brush 35 to clean the dust adhering to the surface of the heat exchange tube 8, while the linear motor 39 drives the cleaning spray pipe 38 to rise and fall. The external air pump is activated to blow air to the outside of the heat exchange tube 8, thus automatically removing dust or frost from the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 8 and preventing a decrease in heat exchange efficiency due to dirt accumulation. The first temperature sensor 9 can detect the temperature of the inlet water, while the second temperature sensor 10 can detect the temperature of the outlet water. This allows for real-time monitoring of the liquid temperature, thereby meeting different heating and cooling needs.
