The module consists of a three-way pipe or a multi-way pipe, one or more heat collection pipe connectors, a thermal insulator and a plurality of sealing rings, the three-way pipe or the multi-way pipe comprises a left sun port, a right shade port or a right sun port, a left shade port as well as a lower interface or a plurality of lower interfaces connected with the heat collection pipe connector, the three-way pipe or the multi-way pipe is arranged in the thermal insulator, a sealing ring slot is arranged at the outer wall of the sun port, the sealing ring is arranged in the sealing ring slot; the sealing ring slot is arranged at the inner wall of the lower interface of the three-way pipe or the multi-way pipe; the sealing ring slot is arranged at the outer wall of an upper port of the heat collection pipe connector which is combined with the three-way pipe or the multi-way pipe, the sealing ring is arranged in the sealing ring slot; the sealing ring slot is arranged at the inner wall of a lower port of the heat connection pipe connector which is combined with a heat collection pipe, and the sealing ring is arranged in the sealing ring slot. The single flow direction connector module can be timely adjusted to be applicable to customer using requirements and is characterized by product standardization, specification, mass production and modular installation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of converting solar energy into hot water, and mainly relates to solar water heater engineering and the structural design of heat collecting pipe connectors of split solar water heaters. Background technique [0002] The collector tube connector of the new solar water heater is the main part of the solar water heater. It converts the solar energy collected by the solar collector tube into heat energy and transports it to the water storage tank through the heat transfer medium (water) through the connector, and at the same time retransmits the cold water in the water storage tank. into the solar collector tube for heating. Therefore, the connector plays an important role in solar water heater engineering and split solar water heaters, and is one of the key components. [0003] At present, the connectors used in solar water heaters are basically integrated, and multiple tubes are integrated into a module, whi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

A module with a length of more than 2 meters and a cross-section of 140*140mm is very inconvenient in terms of installation, transportation, and maintenance, and of course the cost is also high

Moreover, in the solar water heater project, these modules have to be connected again. This connection link is generally connected by plastic pipes, the length of which is between 200 and 300mm. The weak link is also a leaky and vulnerable link

[0004] The above connectors can only be used on solar water heater projects, and it is more difficult to use on split solar water heaters

Because the customer's needs vary widely in capacity, it is necessary to equip different numbers of heat collecting tubes, because the number of heat collecting tubes is uncertain, making it difficult to determine the length of the connector, so the original connector module has many limitations and is very large

Therefore, it is difficult for the connectors of several specifications to meet the requirements of users at present. They are all customized and produced according to the requirements of users. Due to the reasons of structure and manufacturing process, the production cycle and delivery time are limited, and the water heater cannot be customized according to the needs of users. Adjustments and Changes to Specifications

For example, the increase or decrease of the family population, such as hotel rooms and tourist areas, are affected by factors such as festivals and seasons, and users’ demand for hot water usage changes greatly. Failure to make timely adjustments is obviously a waste of equipment and resources.

[0005] Another disadvantage of the traditional connector is that its liner is welded with a thin plate of about 0.4. Due to the relationship between the thin plate and the welding position, this welding is very difficult, so water leakage often occurs

Once the water leaks, it is very difficult to repair
