Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular tower tray technology, specifically to a modular tower tray that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] A tray is a key component in a plate column that provides the space for gas-liquid mass and heat transfer. It facilitates close heat and mass exchange between two fluid phases to separate components of a liquid or gas mixture. It mainly consists of gas-liquid contact elements (such as float valves, bubble caps, and sieves), a receiving tray, an overflow weir, downcomers (or downcomers), tray supports, and fasteners. Installing a tray requires assembling multiple components and then securing them with bolts, which is quite inconvenient.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215694044U discloses a modular tower tray that is easy to disassemble and assemble, which is used for the combined installation of tower trays.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly available solutions have the following shortcomings: In actual use, the above solutions require manual alignment and then connecting multiple of the above devices with connectors, which reduces the difficulty of installation and docking.

[0005] This utility model proposes a modular tower tray that is easy to disassemble and assemble to solve the problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to enable the device to achieve the effect of guiding and docking, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling and docking the device and overcoming the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] Based on the above technical concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A modular tower tray that is easy to assemble and disassemble includes a shell and a connecting pipe that extends through its side. A docking component is connected to the side of the shell, and a U-shaped tube extends through the side of the shell. A connecting pipe extends through the U-shaped tube and extends through the inner wall of the shell. An abutment component is connected to the outer side of the shell, and a protruding component is connected to the side of the shell away from the docking component for docking with the docking component.

[0009] Further defining the above technical solution, the docking component includes a limiting groove connected to the side of the housing, a support member connected to the top of the limiting groove, a connector connected to the top of the support member, and a spring connected to the bottom of the connector. The spring structure enables the limiting member to slide elastically, thereby achieving the automatic locking effect of the device and reducing the operational difficulty of docking and installing the device.

[0010] Further defining the above technical solution, the end of the spring away from the connector is connected to a sliding post, the sliding post is slidably connected to the side of the limiting groove, and the end of the sliding post away from the spring is connected to a limiting member. The automatic sliding limiting member structure can reduce the operational difficulty during the docking process, and the combination of the protrusion and the limiting groove has a guiding function.

[0011] Further defining the above technical solution, the limiting member is provided with a ramp, which is inclined toward the limiting groove away from the housing. The top of the limiting groove is provided with two sets of springs, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the limiting groove. The ramp structure can push the limiting member upward when the protrusion enters the limiting groove, thereby avoiding the limiting member from blocking the protrusion.

[0012] Further defining the above technical solution, the abutting component includes a side mating member connected to the side perpendicular to the housing and the limiting groove. The side mating members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing. One side mating member has a mating groove at the end away from the housing, and the other side mating member has a mating protrusion at the end away from the housing. The outer diameter of the mating protrusion is the same as the inner diameter of the mating groove. The combination of the protrusion and the limiting groove ensures that the connection between multiple sets of structures of this device is stable when they are combined and connected, thereby reducing the risk of mutual shaking between multiple sets of this device.

[0013] Further defining the above technical solution, the protruding component includes a protruding part connected to the side of the housing away from the docking component, and the top of the protruding part is provided with two symmetrical locking grooves. The combination of locking grooves can improve the limiting stability of the device and reduce the risk of the device accidentally loosening.

[0014] Further defining the above technical solution, the width of the protrusion is the same as the inner width of the limiting groove, and the limiting member contacts and presses against the inside of the locking groove.

[0015] Further defining the above technical solution, the U-shaped tube and the connecting tube are linearly distributed at equal intervals inside the housing, and several connecting tubes are interconnected with the U-shaped tube.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. Simple installation: The square structure of this device reduces the installation difficulty when combining and connecting the devices, and also reduces the size of the gaps between multiple sets of this device.

[0018] 2. To avoid collisions, this device uses side abutment components to prevent U-shaped tubes from colliding with each other, thus ensuring the stability of the pipeline structure.

[0019] 3. Quick docking: The device uses a flexible limiting component for docking, which reduces the difficulty of operation when assembling and connecting the device. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0027] Example 1: This example provides a modular tower tray that is easy to assemble and disassemble, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a housing 1 and a connecting pipe 2 that is connected through its side. A docking component 3 is connected to the side of the housing 1. A U-shaped pipe 4 is connected through the side of the housing 1. A connecting pipe 5 is connected through the U-shaped pipe 4. The connecting pipe 5 is connected through the inner wall of the housing 1. An abutting component 6 is connected to the outer side of the housing 1. A protruding component 7 is connected to the side of the housing 1 away from the docking component 3 for docking with the docking component 3.

[0028] The docking component 3 includes a limiting groove 301 connected to the side of the housing 1. A support member 302 is connected to the top of the limiting groove 301. A connector 303 is connected to the top of the support member 302. A spring 304 is connected to the bottom of the connector 303. A sliding post 305 is connected to the end of the spring 304 away from the connector 303. The sliding post 305 is slidably connected to the side of the limiting groove 301. A limiting member 306 is connected to the end of the sliding post 305 away from the spring 304. By using the spring 304 to drive the limiting member 306 to slide vertically, when the protrusion 701 moves to the position where the locking groove 702 is directly below the limiting member 306, the limiting member 306 can automatically enter the locking groove 702, thereby achieving the effect of automatic locking.

[0029] The limiting member 306 is provided with a ramp, which is inclined towards the limiting groove 301 away from the housing 1. The top of the limiting groove 301 is provided with two sets of springs 304, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the limiting groove 301. The abutting member 6 includes a side-to-side docking member 601 connected to the side perpendicular to the housing 1 and the limiting groove 301. The side-to-side docking members 601 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1. One side-to-side docking member 601 has a docking groove 602 at the end away from the housing 1, and the other side-to-side docking member 601 has a docking protrusion 603 at the end away from the housing 1. The outer diameter of the docking protrusion 603 is the same as the inner diameter of the docking groove 602. The structure of the side-to-side docking member 601 can prevent the outer U-shaped tube 4 from being squeezed during the docking installation or transportation of this device. The side-to-side docking member 601, as the outermost structure of this device, can protect the U-shaped tube 4.

[0030] The protruding component 7 includes a protruding part 701 connected to the side of the housing 1 away from the docking component 3. The top of the protruding part 701 is provided with two symmetrical locking grooves 702. The docking stability of the device can be achieved by docking the protruding part 701 with the limiting groove 301. Furthermore, the tip of the protruding part 701 has rounded corners, which can guide the docking of the device and reduce the difficulty of docking.

[0031] The specific working principle is as follows: the combination of these devices can achieve the effect of a large-area connected tray, and the structure of the connecting pipe 2 allows multiple sets of these devices to be connected to each other, thereby achieving a uniform heat exchange effect.

[0032] Example 2: This example provides a modular tower tray that is easy to assemble and disassemble, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the width of the protrusion 701 is the same as the width of the inner part of the limiting groove 301. The limiting member 306 contacts and is squeezed inside the locking groove 702. The U-shaped tube 4 and the connecting tube 5 are linearly distributed at equal intervals inside the housing 1. Several connecting tubes 5 and U-shaped tubes 4 are interconnected.

[0033] The specific working principle is as follows: This device can reduce the difficulty of docking assembled tower trays during use. When this device is used, multiple sets of this device are combined and spliced ​​to achieve the effect of a large-area tower tray, avoiding the problem of the difficulty of producing and transporting a large tower tray. When this device is assembled, the protrusion 701 on the side of one device is inserted into the limiting groove 301 of another device. During the inward insertion process, the slope of the limiting member 306 can make the protrusion 701 push the limiting member 306 upward. When the protrusion 701 extends to a certain extent, the locking groove 702 on the top of the protrusion 701 moves to the bottom of the limiting member 306. At this time, under the action of the spring 304, the limiting member 306 slides downward into the locking groove 702, thereby achieving the effect of automatic locking connection.

[0034] When this device is assembled laterally, the mating protrusion 603 and mating groove 602 provided on the side mating member 601 can achieve the effect of accurate mating on the side of the device. At the same time, the length of the side mating member 601 is greater than the height of the U-shaped tube 4, thereby ensuring that the U-shaped tube 4 structure will not be squeezed during assembly.

[0035] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, which is intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and apply the present invention. However, it should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions.
