Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger equipment for air coolers, specifically to a non-welded plug for heat exchanger tubes of air cooler wire plug type tube bundle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, heat exchangers in air coolers are widely used heat exchange equipment in industrial production, mainly composed of tube sheets and a large number of arranged heat exchange tubes. During operation, heat exchangers experience problems such as individual tube breakage and leakage, requiring timely repair to ensure the continued operation of the heat exchange equipment. Existing heat exchanger tube boxes are divided into open and closed types. In open tube box heat exchangers, when individual heat exchange tubes leak, both ends of the tube are welded and sealed for isolation. In closed tube box heat exchangers, when individual heat exchange tubes leak, the tube heads are inside the closed tube box, restricting the welding and sealing repair operation, which may even lead to the dismantling and overhaul of the heat exchanger, affecting its operation. In view of the above reasons, a non-welded sealing plug for the tube bundle heat exchange tubes in air coolers is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that when individual heat exchange tubes in a closed tube-box heat exchanger leak, the tube heads are inside the closed tube box, making welding and sealing impossible for isolation and maintenance. Through a reasonable design, this invention provides a non-welded plug for air cooler tube bundle heat exchangers using a plug-type plug. This invention repairs damaged heat exchange tubes through the plug hole. When a heat exchange tube in an air cooler is damaged, the operator removes the plug from the plug plate on-site and installs the internal expansion sealing plug through the plug hole onto the damaged heat exchange tube. The internal expansion sealing plug, through a pull rod and pressure plate, compresses the expansion sealing ring for expansion and sealing, ensuring a tight and reliable seal. No major disassembly, repair, or welding is required. The expansion sealing ring compresses and expands to seal the heat exchange tube, simplifying the operation, significantly shortening the heat exchanger repair cycle, saving costs, reducing the heat exchange tube maintenance cycle, and ensuring the operation of the air cooler.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A non-welded plug for air-cooled tube bundle heat exchange tubes with threaded plugs, comprising: an internal expansion sealing plug, a plug bayonet, a plug end, an expansion sealing ring, an expansion ring, a sealing gasket, an expansion sealing ring pull rod, a pull rod pressure plate, a pull rod nut, a sealing ring, a heat exchanger enclosed tube box, a tube end plate, a threaded plug plate, a threaded plug hole, a heat exchange tube, and an expansion groove. Two sealing rings are respectively arranged around the middle part of the outer side of the internal expansion sealing plug. The outer side of the sealing plug opening is evenly distributed with pre-reserved plug slots. The bottom of the inner expansion sealing plug is provided with a plug end, the outer side of which is set as a slope. A pull rod hole is reserved in the center of the plug end, and an expansion sealing ring pull rod is installed in the pull rod hole. A pull rod pressure plate is provided at one end of the expansion sealing ring pull rod, and a pull rod nut is provided at the other end. An expansion sealing ring is fitted on the expansion sealing ring pull rod. An inner expansion sealing plug is provided between the pull rod nut and the pull rod pressure plate. The pull rod pressure plate is used to press the expansion sealing ring and the plug end for sealing.

[0005] A sealing pad is provided at the bottom of the expansion sealing ring, and an expansion ring is provided at the opening of the expansion sealing ring. The inner side of the expansion ring is set as an annular ramp structure. The expansion sealing ring is made of nylon or rubber material. The pull rod pressure plate is used to press the sealing pad, and the expansion ring is used to seal the ramp at the end of the plug.

[0006] The closed tube box is configured as a heat exchange chamber. A tube end plate is installed on one side of the closed tube box, and a plug plate is installed on the other side. The plug plate and the tube end plate have corresponding reserved holes. The holes of the plug plate are set as plug holes, and plugs are installed in the plug holes. The holes of the tube end plate are set as tube holes, and heat exchange tubes are installed in the tube holes. The tube ends of the heat exchange tubes are pre-threaded. The tube holes and plug holes of the heat exchange tubes are set as corresponding holes, and the plug holes are set to be larger than the diameter of the heat exchange tubes.

[0007] The heat exchange tube head is threaded with the outer side of the inner expansion seal plug. The inner expansion seal plug is used for sealing and isolating the heat exchange tube head. An expansion groove is reserved between the slope of the plug end and the heat exchange tube. An expansion ring is installed in the expansion groove. The expansion ring is used for pressing and expanding the expansion groove. A maintenance socket wrench is provided for the inner expansion seal plug corresponding to the plug bayonet and the pull rod nut.

[0008] Working principle: When an individual heat exchange tube is damaged and needs repair, the plug on the corresponding end of the damaged heat exchange tube is removed. The inner expansion sealing plug is then tightened by manually operating a socket wrench and inserting it into the damaged heat exchange tube for rotation and tightening. After the inner expansion sealing plug is installed in the damaged heat exchange tube, the expansion sealing ring pull rod and pull rod pressure plate are rotated and pulled by the socket wrench with the pull rod nut. The pull rod pressure plate squeezes the expansion sealing ring and expansion ring, and the expansion ring expands and seals after entering the expansion groove.

[0009] Beneficial effects: This utility model repairs damaged heat exchange tubes through a plug hole. When a heat exchange tube in an air cooler is damaged, the operator removes the plug on the plug plate on-site and installs an internal expansion sealing plug through the plug hole onto the damaged heat exchange tube. The internal expansion sealing plug is pressed by a pull rod and pressure plate to achieve expansion and sealing of the expansion sealing ring. The seal is tight and reliable, eliminating the need for disassembly, overhaul, or welding. The expansion sealing ring compresses and expands to seal the heat exchange tube, making the operation simple, greatly shortening the heat exchanger repair cycle, saving costs, reducing the heat exchange tube maintenance cycle, and ensuring the operation of the air cooler.
