Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a support assembly for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are a common type of heat exchange equipment widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and power generation. They consist of one or more tube bundles and a shell. The heat medium flows inside the tubes, while another heat medium flows inside the shell, and heat exchange occurs through the tube walls.

[0003] Existing traditional heat exchanger supports have relatively fixed structures. This means that if the heat exchanger installation location is uneven, there is a risk of tilting during the installation of the tube heat exchanger. This causes the tube heat exchanger to be subjected to additional stress during installation, which can lead to deformation of the heat exchanger over time and affect its service life. Furthermore, some existing traditional shell-and-tube heat exchanger support assemblies usually have fixed structures and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the heat exchanger and installation requirements, making them impractical. Therefore, a new shell-and-tube heat exchanger support assembly is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a shell-and-tube heat exchanger support assembly, which aims to improve the existing traditional heat exchanger supports in the prior art. The structure of these supports is relatively fixed, which means that if the heat exchanger installation position is uneven, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger may be tilted during installation. After installation, it will be subjected to additional stress, which may lead to deformation of the heat exchanger and affect its service life over time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a shell-and-tube heat exchanger support assembly, comprising a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, wherein two mounting components are provided on the exterior of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, a support component is installed at the lower part of the mounting components, the support component includes a base plate, and adjusting components are provided on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the top of the base plate, and a top plate is provided on the upper part of the plurality of adjusting components, each adjusting component including a shell, the shell being fixedly connected to the base plate, an adjusting ring being rotatably connected to the upper part of the shell, a stud being threadedly connected to the middle of the adjusting ring, an auxiliary ring being fixedly connected to the upper part of the stud, a round-headed rod being rotatably connected to the top of the stud, a connecting sleeve being movably connected to the upper part of the round-headed rod, and the connecting sleeve being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] Support blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top surface of the top plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The mounting assembly includes two mounting half-frames, which are symmetrically arranged. The lower mounting half-frame is fixedly connected to the two support blocks.

[0011] Mounting plates are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the mounting half-frame. A screw rod is movably connected through the middle of the mounting plate. Nuts are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate, and the nuts are threadedly connected to the screw rod.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] Both of the two mounting half-frames have obtuse-angle openings on their sides that are close to each other.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] An anti-slip pad is fixedly connected inside the obtuse-angle opening.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger support assembly, including a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 1. Two mounting components 2 are provided on the outside of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 1 for installation. A support component 3 is installed at the lower part of the mounting component 2 to support the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The mounting component 2 and the support component 3 together form a support assembly. The support component 3 includes a base plate 31 for connecting various components and can be fixed to the ground with bolts. Adjustable parts 32 are provided on the front, back, left, and right sides of the top of the base plate 31 for adjusting the angle of the top plate 33, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. A top plate 33 is provided on the upper part of the multiple adjustable parts 32 for connecting various components. Support blocks 34 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top surface of the top plate 33 for connecting the mounting components 2.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting component 32 includes a housing 321 for engaging with the connecting component. The housing 321 is fixedly connected to the base plate 31. An adjusting ring 323 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the housing 321 for engaging with the adjusting stud 322. The stud 322 is threadedly connected to the middle part of the adjusting ring 323. The stud 322 is located in the middle of the housing 321 and does not contact the housing 321. An auxiliary ring 324 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the stud 322 for assisting in the adjustment of the stud 322. A round-headed rod 325 is rotatably connected to the top of the stud 322 for engaging with the connection and angle change of the connecting sleeve 326. The connecting sleeve 326 is movably connected to the upper part of the round-headed rod 325. The connecting sleeve 326 and the round-headed rod 325 are inseparable. The connecting sleeve 326 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 33.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2 The mounting assembly 2 includes two mounting half-frames 21, which are used to connect and fix with the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The two mounting half-frames 21 are symmetrically arranged. The lower mounting half-frame 21 is fixedly connected to two support blocks 34. Mounting plates 22 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mounting half-frames 21, which are used to connect various components. A screw 23 is movably connected through the middle of the mounting plate 22. Nuts 24 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 22, which are used to limit the position of the mounting plate 22. The nuts 24 are threadedly connected to the screw 23.

[0029] Furthermore, obtuse-angle openings 211 are provided on the sides of the two mounting half-frames 21 that are close to each other, which are used to accommodate the installation of shell-and-tube heat exchangers of different sizes. Anti-slip pads 212, which can be made of rubber, are fixedly connected inside the obtuse-angle openings 211.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first, fix the base plate 31 of the support component 3 to the appropriate installation position with bolts. Then, depending on the actual installation situation, if the ground is uneven, adjust the corresponding adjusting component 32 as needed. When adjusting the adjusting component 32, the user needs to hold the auxiliary ring 324 with one hand to prevent the stud 322 from rotating, while rotating the adjusting ring 323 with the other hand. This allows the adjusting ring 323 to control the stud 322 to move up or down. When one of the studs 322 moves up or down... During movement, since the upper part of the stud 322 is connected to the round-headed rod 325, and the upper part of the round-headed rod 325 is connected to the connecting sleeve 326, which is connected to the top plate 33, the top plate 33 will undergo a certain angle change. When the top plate 33 undergoes an angle change, the other connecting sleeves 326 connected to the top plate 33 will also undergo a certain angle change, thereby moving along the surface of the round-headed rod 325. Once the stability of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger can be ensured by adjusting one or more adjusting components 32, the adjustment can be stopped.

[0031] When installing the tubular heat exchanger 1, first loosen the nuts 24 on the two upper mounting plates 22 to remove the upper mounting half-frame 21. Then place the tubular heat exchanger 1 on top of the lower mounting half-frame 21, so that the anti-slip pad 212 at the bottom of the tubular heat exchanger 1 contacts it. Then, clamp the upper mounting half-frame 21 onto the upper part of the tubular heat exchanger 1, so that the mounting plates 22 on both sides pass through the screws 23. Then tighten the nuts 24 and screws 23 to fix the mounting plates 22 in place, thus completing the installation of the tubular heat exchanger 1.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
