Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, and more specifically, to an adjustable heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Plate heat exchangers are highly efficient and compact heat exchange devices widely used in chemical, petroleum, food, HVAC, and power industries. They achieve heat exchange through fluid channels between metal plates, featuring high heat transfer efficiency, compact structure, and high flexibility. However, plate heat exchangers require connection to external piping during use. The weight of the external piping and some external forces (such as gravity, vibration, and impact) can affect the flange connection, potentially leading to flange damage over time. Therefore, we have made improvements by proposing an adjustable heat exchanger. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0004] Adjustable heat exchangers can improve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The present invention is as follows:
[0006] The device includes a heat exchanger body, comprising a first fixed clamping plate, a second fixed clamping plate, a heat-conducting plate, and adjusting bolts. Two secondary U-shaped plates are fixedly installed on the front of the first fixed clamping plate. A main U-shaped plate is also fixedly installed on the front of the first fixed clamping plate, positioned between the two secondary U-shaped plates. A screw is rotatably connected to the main U-shaped plate, and a hexagonal nut is fixedly installed on the top of the screw. A main moving plate is threadedly connected to the screw. A bracket is fixedly installed on the front of the main moving plate, and secondary moving plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the back of the bracket. A U-shaped frame is also fixedly installed on the front of the first fixed clamping plate, and a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame. Anti-loosening clamps are threaded at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a short guide rod is fixedly installed on the U-shaped frame, and the anti-loosening clamp is slidably connected to the short guide rod.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a large handwheel is fixedly installed on the top of the screw.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a small handwheel is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, sliders are fixedly installed on the back of both the main moving plate and the auxiliary moving plate, and grooves are opened on both the main U-shaped plate and the auxiliary U-shaped plate, and the grooves match the sliders.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a rubber pad is adhered to the bracket.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a long guide rod is fixedly installed on the secondary U-shaped plate, and the secondary moving plate is slidably connected to the long guide rod.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In the solution of this utility model:
[0015] 1. The large handwheel drives the screw to rotate, which in turn moves the main moving plate upwards, causing the bracket to move upwards and support the pipe. Then, the small handwheel is rotated, which drives the double-threaded rod to rotate. This rotation moves two anti-loosening clamps towards the center, clamping the hexagonal nut on the screw. The hexagonal nut is then fixedly connected to the screw, preventing it from loosening. This allows the bracket to support the external pipe, absorbing its weight and some external forces (such as gravity and vibration). This solves the problem in existing technologies where the weight of the external pipe and some external forces (such as gravity and vibration) affect the flange connection, potentially causing damage over time.

[0029] Example:
[0030] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable heat exchanger, including a heat exchanger body 1. The heat exchanger body 1 includes a first fixing plate 101, a second fixing plate 102, a heat-conducting plate 103, and an adjusting bolt 104. When it is necessary to increase the number of heat-conducting plates 103, the distance between the first fixing plate 101 and the second fixing plate 102 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting bolt 104. Two auxiliary U-shaped plates 2 are fixedly installed on the front of the first fixing plate 101. A main U-shaped plate 3 is also fixedly installed on the front of the first fixing plate 101. The main U-shaped plate 3 is located between the two auxiliary U-shaped plates 2. A screw 4 is rotatably connected to the main U-shaped plate 3. A hexagonal nut 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the screw 4. The screw 4 rotates... Simultaneously, the screw 4 drives the hexagonal nut 11 to rotate. The screw 4 is threadedly connected to the main moving plate 5. The rotation of the screw 4 drives the main moving plate 5 to move upward. The main moving plate 5 is fixedly installed with a bracket 6 on the front. The main moving plate 5 drives the bracket 6 to move upward, so that the bracket 6 supports the pipe. The bracket 6 is fixedly installed with auxiliary moving plates 7 at both ends of the back. The bracket 6 moves while driving the auxiliary moving plates 7 to move upward. The first fixed clamping plate 101 is also fixedly installed with a U-shaped frame 8 on the front. The U-shaped frame 8 is rotatably connected with a double-threaded rod 9. The threads at both ends of the double-threaded rod 9 are threadedly connected with anti-loosening clamps 10. The rotation of the double-threaded rod 9 drives the two anti-loosening clamps 10 to move towards the middle. The anti-loosening clamps 10 clamp the hexagonal nut 11 on the screw 4.
[0031] A short guide rod 12 is fixedly installed on the U-shaped frame 8. The anti-loosening clamp 10 is slidably connected to the short guide rod 12. When the anti-loosening clamp 10 moves, it slides along the short guide rod 12, which makes the movement of the anti-loosening clamp 10 more stable.
[0032] A large handwheel 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the screw 4. Rotating the large handwheel 13 will cause the screw 4 to rotate. A small handwheel 14 is fixedly installed on one end of the double-ended threaded rod 9. Rotating the small handwheel 14 will cause the double-ended threaded rod 9 to rotate.
[0033] A slider 15 is fixedly installed on the back of both the main moving plate 5 and the auxiliary moving plate 7. A groove 16 is opened on both the main U-shaped plate 3 and the auxiliary U-shaped plate 2. The groove 16 matches the slider 15. When the main moving plate 5 moves, it drives the slider 15 on the back to slide in the groove 16 on the main U-shaped plate 3. When the auxiliary moving plate 7 moves, it drives the slider 15 on the back to slide in the groove 16 on the auxiliary U-shaped plate 2. This makes the movement of the main moving plate 5 and the auxiliary moving plate 7 more stable.
[0034] A rubber pad 17 is attached to the bracket 6. The rubber pad 17 not only serves to protect the pipe, but also allows the large handwheel 13 to be turned to adjust the hexagonal nut 11 when the side of the hexagonal nut 11 is not parallel to the anti-loosening clamp 10.
[0035] A long guide rod 18 is fixedly installed on the secondary U-shaped plate 2. The secondary moving plate 7 is slidably connected to the long guide rod 18. The secondary moving plate 7 slides along the long guide rod 18, making the movement of the secondary moving plate 7 more stable.
[0036] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger body 1 is manufactured by Dezhou Jinlin Heating and Cooling Equipment Co., Ltd., and its model number is JL-001. Its structural principle and usage method are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] Specifically, when using this adjustable heat exchanger, if it is necessary to increase the number of heat-conducting fins 103, the distance between the first fixed clamping plate 101 and the second fixed clamping plate 102 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting bolt 104.
[0038] After the flange on the heat exchanger is connected to the external pipeline, turn the large handwheel 13. The large handwheel 13 drives the screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 4 drives the main moving plate 5 to move upward. As the main moving plate 5 moves, it drives the slider 15 on the back to slide in the groove 16 on the main U-shaped plate 3. At the same time, the main moving plate 5 drives the bracket 6 to move upward, so that the bracket 6 supports the pipeline. As the bracket 6 moves, it drives the auxiliary moving plate 7 to move upward. The auxiliary moving plate 7 slides along the long guide rod 18. As the auxiliary moving plate 7 moves, it drives the slider 15 on the back to slide in the groove 16 on the auxiliary U-shaped plate 2. Then rotate... The small handwheel 14 drives the double-threaded rod 9 to rotate. The rotation of the double-threaded rod 9 causes the two anti-loosening clamps 10 to move towards the middle. The anti-loosening clamps 10 slide along the short guide rod 12, so that the anti-loosening clamps 10 clamp the hexagonal nut 11 on the screw 4. (When rotating the large handwheel 13, it is necessary to observe whether the side of the hexagonal nut 11 is parallel to the anti-loosening clamp 10. A rubber pad 17 is set on the bracket 6, so if it is not parallel, just continue to rotate.) In this way, the anti-loosening clamp 10 locks the hexagonal nut 11, and the hexagonal nut 11 is fixedly connected to the screw 4, thus preventing the screw 4 from loosening.
[0039] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0040] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
