Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser tube technology, and more specifically, to a condenser tube structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, condenser tubes work by introducing condensate to lower the surface temperature of the tube. The hot, humid air passing over the tube surface is cooled, causing water vapor to condense, thus achieving a drying effect. This process is widely used in dehumidification and drying applications. During this process, the condensate in the condenser tube experiences heat exchange, resulting in a temperature increase. The condensate located at the tube's axis has a slower heat exchange rate compared to the condensate located on the inner wall of the tube. Furthermore, the condenser tube lacks a mixing function, therefore, there is still room for improvement in condensation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a condenser tube structure to improve condensation efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a condenser tube structure, comprising multiple condenser tube bodies and gas pipes, wherein the multiple condenser tube bodies are arranged axially parallel to each other and sequentially, and adjacent condenser tube bodies are connected by a connecting pipe to form a unique flow path, the gas pipes extend along the flow path, and both ends of the gas pipes extend out of the condenser tube bodies, one end of the gas pipe is connected to an air inlet device, and the other end is connected to an airflow control component, the airflow control component can seal the gas pipe and the connection end thereto, the gas pipe is a flexible tube, and the air pressure inside the gas pipe increases to cause its outer wall to expand.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that a support component is installed on the condenser tube body, the support component is inserted into the condenser tube body, and multiple support components are arranged along the axial direction of the condenser tube body. The gas pipe passes through the support component, and the outer peripheral wall of the gas pipe is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the support component.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the support component has through holes, and multiple through holes are provided along the circumference of the support component.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the supporting component is made of rubber, and the outer peripheral wall of the supporting component is attached to and presses against the inner peripheral wall of the condenser tube body.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing plug is installed on the outer wall of one of the condenser tube bodies, and the gas pipe includes an extension tube that passes through the sealing plug.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the condenser tube body on which the sealing plug is installed is fitted with a clamping ring, the clamping ring being fitted into the condenser tube body, the clamping ring including a ring body one and a ring body two, the ring body one and the ring body two being tightly wrapped around each other to fix the condenser tube body.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the condenser tube body is inserted into the connecting tube, the connecting tube is provided with a boss, a sealing gasket is installed between the boss and the end face of the condenser tube body, and the boss and the condenser tube body press against each other to seal the gasket.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the circulation channel includes an inlet and an outlet, with the inlet located at one axial end of one of the condenser tube bodies and the outlet located at one axial end of the other condenser tube body.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The airflow control component keeps one end of the air pipe closed. As gas is introduced into the air pipe through the air intake device, the air pressure inside the pipe increases, causing its outer wall to expand. The airflow control component then opens, causing the air pressure inside the pipe to decrease and the outer wall of the pipe to retract. This change in the diameter of the outer wall of the air pipe causes the condensate to flow radially along the main body of the condenser, increasing heat exchange between the condensate near the axis of the condenser body and the condensate near the inner circumferential wall of the condenser body, thus improving heat exchange efficiency, i.e., increasing the condensation efficiency of the condenser for external humid and hot gas.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser tube structure, including multiple condenser tube bodies 1 and gas pipes 4. The multiple condenser tube bodies 1 are arranged axially parallel to each other and sequentially. Adjacent condenser tube bodies 1 are connected by connecting pipes 2 to form a unique flow path, and the flow direction is as follows. Figure 1 As indicated by the arrow, the substance being introduced is condensate.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the condenser body 1 is inserted into the connecting pipe 2. The connecting pipe 2 is a U-shaped pipe, with both ends of the U-shape connected to the condenser body 1. The condenser body 1 and the connecting pipe 2 are connected by an interference fit. The connecting pipe 2 is provided with a boss 21, and a sealing gasket 3 is installed between the boss 21 and the end face of the condenser body 1. The boss 21 and the condenser body 1 press against each other to seal the gasket 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas tube 4 is inserted into the condenser tube body 1 and the connecting tube 2, and the gas tube 4 extends along the flow path. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, a support component 5 is installed on the condenser tube body 1. The support component 5 has a disc-shaped structure and is inserted into the condenser tube body 1. The support component 5 is made of rubber, and its outer peripheral wall is attached to and presses against the inner peripheral wall of the condenser tube body 1. Multiple support components 5 are arranged along the axial direction of the condenser tube body 1. Gas pipes 4 pass through the support components 5, and their outer peripheral walls are attached to the inner peripheral walls of the support components 5. The support components 5 support the gas pipes 4 so that they are distributed along the axial direction of the condenser tube body 1 and the connecting pipe 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the support component 5 is provided with a through hole 51, which axially penetrates the support component 5. Multiple through holes 51 are provided along the circumference of the support component 5 to allow condensate to flow.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the gas pipe 4 extends out of the condenser tube body 1 at both ends. Specifically, as... Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, a sealing plug 7 is installed on the outer wall of one of the condenser tube bodies 1. The sealing plug 7 has a plug part 71, which is inserted into the outer wall of the condenser tube body 1. The gas pipe 4 includes an extension pipe 41, which passes through the sealing plug 7. The sealing plug 7 is made of rubber. The sealing plug 7 is squeezed by the inner wall of the condenser tube body 1, thereby squeezing the extension pipe 41 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the condenser tube body 1, on which the sealing plug 7 is installed, is fitted with a clamping ring 6. The clamping ring 6 is fitted into the condenser tube body 1. The clamping ring 6 includes a first ring body 61 and a second ring body 62. The first ring body 61 and the second ring body 62 clamp each other tightly to fix the condenser tube body 1. Specifically, the first ring body 61 has an extension platform 611, and the second ring body 62 has an extension platform 621. The first extension platform 611 and the second extension platform 621 are fixedly connected by a fastener 63, which is a bolt. The first ring body 61 presses down on the sealing plug 7 to prevent the sealing plug 7 from coming out of the condenser tube body 1.

[0028] The circulation path includes inlet 11 and outlet 12. Inlet 11 is located at one axial end of one of the condenser tube bodies 1, and outlet 12 is located at one axial end of the other condenser tube body 1.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the air pipe 4 near the inlet 11 is connected to an air intake device, that is, the extension pipe 41 extends out of the condenser pipe body 1 where the inlet 11 is located and is connected to the air intake device. The air pipe 4 near the outlet 12 is connected to an airflow control component 8, which is a solenoid valve. The airflow control component 8 can close the connection end of the air pipe 4. The air pipe 4 is a flexible hose.

[0030] The airflow control component 8 controls one end of the air pipe 4 to be closed. As the air intake device introduces gas into the air pipe 4, the air pressure inside the air pipe 4 increases, causing its outer wall to expand. The airflow control component 8 then opens, causing the air pressure inside the air pipe 4 to decrease, and the outer wall of the air pipe 4 to contract. The change in the diameter of the air pipe 4 causes the condensate to flow radially along the condenser body 1 during the flow process. This increases the heat exchange between the condensate near the axis of the condenser body 1 and the condensate near the inner peripheral wall of the condenser body 1, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, that is, improving the condensation efficiency of the condenser for external humid and hot gas.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
