Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air ducts, and particularly to a heat insulation structure for a spiral air duct and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Air ducts are mainly used to connect the air circulation between two places and play the role of ventilation. The most widely used air ducts on the market are spiral air ducts.

[0003] A Chinese patent with the publication number CN216813262U, a pre-insulated inner connection pipe for a spiral air duct, includes a first spiral air duct and a second spiral air duct. Two connecting pieces are movably sleeved at opposite ends of the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct. Bolts are arranged inside both of the two connecting pieces, and the two connecting pieces are threadedly connected together by the bolts. A first inner pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the first spiral air duct. In the present utility model, the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct are installed by cutting their joints. After the sealing ring is inserted into the second inner pipe, the bolts are rotated to screw the two connecting pieces together, thereby fixing the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct, facilitating the installation at the cut joints of the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct, and preventing the first spiral air duct from tilting and shaking through the limitation of the slider, achieving the effect of assisting the staff in installation, facilitating the staff to install, and the sealing ring playing a sealing effect, making it more convenient to use.

[0004] When connecting the spiral air duct using the above solution, since the connecting pieces are connected by bolts, after the spiral air duct is used for a long time, the bolts are exposed to the external environment for a long time, and the bolts are prone to corrosion, so the connecting pieces are prone to looseness, and a gap appears at the connection between the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct, resulting in poor sealing performance of the spiral air duct, and thus poor heat insulation effect of the spiral air duct. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the heat insulation effect of the air duct, this application provides a heat insulation structure for a spiral air duct and an installation method thereof.

[0006] The heat insulation structure for a spiral air duct and the installation method provided by this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0007] A heat insulation structure for a spiral air duct includes a spiral air duct body and a connecting pipe for connecting adjacent spiral air duct bodies. The connecting pipe is coaxially arranged with the spiral air duct body. A hoop for fastening the connecting pipe and the spiral air duct body is arranged on the connecting pipe. Connecting grooves are arranged at both ends of the connecting pipe. A sealing layer is connected to the side wall of the connecting groove. The sealing layer is slidably matched with the connecting groove along the radial direction of the connecting pipe. A top rod is slidably connected to the side wall of the connecting groove along the radial direction of the connecting pipe. The top rod penetrates through the side wall of the connecting groove and is connected to the sealing layer.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral air duct body is inserted into the connection groove, and the spiral air duct body is in interference fit with the connecting pipe through the sealing layer. When the bolts on the hoop are loose, since the spiral air duct body abuts against the sealing layer, the sealing layer fits with the spiral ribs on the outer side of the spiral air duct body and the side wall of the pipe body of the spiral air duct body. The sealing layer reduces the possibility of a gap appearing between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, improves the sealing performance between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, and thus improves the heat preservation effect of the air duct.

[0009] Optionally, a linkage rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the connection groove along the axial direction of the connecting pipe. An installation cavity is arranged in the connecting pipe. The ejector rod and the linkage rod both penetrate through the side wall of the connection groove and extend into the installation cavity. A linkage assembly corresponding to the ejector rod is connected between the linkage rod and the ejector rod, and the linkage assembly is located in the installation cavity.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the spiral air duct body is inserted into the connection groove, the end of the spiral air duct abuts against the linkage rod. Through the transmission of the linkage assembly, the ejector rod moves towards the spiral air duct, and the ejector rod pushes the sealing layer towards the spiral air duct body, improving the sealing performance between the sealing layer and the spiral air duct body. The sealing layer is pressed tightly against the spiral air duct body, improving the heat preservation effect of the air duct and reducing the relative displacement between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe along its axial direction.

[0011] Optionally, the linkage assembly includes a hinge plate, a rack and a gear. The hinge plate is hinged on the side wall of the installation cavity. The length direction of the hinge plate is arranged along the radial direction of the connecting pipe. The linkage rod penetrates through the bottom of the connection groove and is slidably connected to the hinge plate along its length direction. The rack is slidably connected to the side wall of the installation cavity along the axial direction of the connecting pipe through a dovetail block 15. The rack is spaced from the side wall of the installation cavity. One end of the rack close to the hinge plate is slidably matched with the hinge plate along its length direction. The gear is rotatably connected to the side wall of the installation cavity. The gear is spaced from the top of the installation cavity. The ejector rod is slidably connected to the top of the installation cavity. A tooth is connected to the side wall of the ejector rod facing the gear. The ejector rod and the rack are both meshed with the gear. An avoidance opening is arranged on the rack. The ejector rod and the avoidance opening are slidably matched along the radial direction of the connecting pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the spiral air duct body moves towards the bottom of the connection groove, the end of the spiral air duct body abuts against the linkage rod and moves towards the bottom of the connection groove. The end of the linkage rod connected to the hinge plate moves along the length direction of the hinge plate, and the hinge plate rotates away from the linkage rod. The rack moves in the direction opposite to the linkage rod, and the end of the rack connected to the hinge plate moves along the length direction of the hinge plate. The rack drives the gear to rotate, and the ejector rod moves towards the connection groove, thereby realizing the linkage between the linkage rod and the ejector rod.

[0013] Optionally, two ejector rods are provided, and the ejector rods are arranged on both sides of the linkage rod. Two transmission components are also arranged on both sides of the linkage rod. The ejector rod located on the side of the linkage rod away from the sealing layer is in plug-in fit with the spiral air duct body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the linkage rod moves towards the bottom of the connection groove, the ejector rod moves towards the connection groove and inserts into the spiral air duct body, so that the ejector rod limits the spiral air duct body, reducing the possibility of the spiral air duct coming out of the connection groove.

[0015] Optionally, a notch is provided at the end of the connecting pipe. The notch penetrates the inner wall and the outer wall of the connecting pipe, and the notch communicates with the connection groove. A belt groove is provided on the connecting pipe, and a fastening belt is connected to the connecting pipe through the belt groove. The fastening belt penetrates the belt groove, and a ratchet rack is connected to the end of the fastening belt. The ratchet rack is slidably connected to the bottom of the notch along the circumferential direction of the connecting pipe. The ratchet teeth on the ratchet racks at both ends of the fastening belt are arranged oppositely, and a ratchet wheel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the notch. The ratchet rack meshes with the ratchet wheel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ratchet wheel rotates, the two ratchet racks move closer to each other, so that the fastening belt is tightened, making the sealing layer press more tightly against the spiral air duct body, and improving the connection stability between the end of the connecting pipe and the spiral air duct body.

[0017] Optionally, a hoop is sleeved on the ratchet rack.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the hoop plays a protective role for the ratchet rack, and improves the service life of the ratchet rack and the ratchet wheel.

[0019] Optionally, the spiral air duct body includes an inner pipe, an outer pipe, and an intermediate pipe body for heat preservation. The intermediate pipe body is connected between the inner pipe and the outer pipe.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the intermediate pipe body improves the heat preservation effect of the spiral air duct body.

[0021] Optionally, a spiral groove is provided on the side wall of the middle pipe body, and the spiral groove is arranged opposite to the spiral ribs on the inner pipe and the spiral ribs on the outer pipe.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral ribs are opposite to the spiral groove, and the outer pipe and the inner pipe are rotated, so that the outer pipe, the middle pipe body and the inner pipe are connected together, improving the sealing performance between the middle pipe body and the outer pipe and the inner pipe, and improving the heat preservation effect.

[0023] An installation method for a heat preservation structure of a spiral air duct includes the following steps: S1: Rotate the inner pipe and the outer pipe in opposite directions so that the spiral groove and the spiral ribs are inserted and matched, and connect the middle pipe body between the inner pipe and the outer pipe; S2: Insert the spiral air duct body into the connection groove, the spiral air duct body abuts against the linkage rod and moves, the linkage rod moves towards the hinge plate, the hinge plate rotates, the end of the hinge plate connected to the rack moves in the opposite direction to the linkage rod, and the transmission between the linkage rod and the gear drives the ejector rod to move towards the connection groove. One ejector rod is inserted into the slot on the spiral air duct body to limit the spiral air duct body, and the other ejector rod pushes the sealing layer towards the spiral air duct body, and the sealing layer is pressed tightly against the outer wall of the spiral air duct; S3: Rotate the ratchet teeth so that the ratchet racks move closer to each other, so that the tightening belt drives the end of the connecting pipe with a notch to tighten towards the axis of the connecting pipe, thereby clamping the spiral air duct body. Finally, the hoop is sleeved on the end of the connecting pipe, and the hoop is covered on the ratchet rack to complete the sealed connection between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the spiral air duct body is inserted and connected with the connecting pipe, through the transmission between the linkage rod and the ejector rod, the ejector rod is inserted into the spiral air duct body, and the sealing layer is pressed tightly against the spiral air duct body, thereby reducing the possibility of loosening between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, improving the sealing effect between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, and improving the heat preservation effect of the spiral air duct.

[0025] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. Insert the spiral air duct body into the connection groove, and the spiral air duct body is in interference fit with the connecting pipe through the sealing layer. When the bolts on the hoop are loose, since the spiral air duct body abuts against the sealing layer, the sealing layer fits with the spiral ribs on the outer side of the spiral air duct body and the side wall of the spiral air duct body pipe, and the sealing layer reduces the possibility of gaps between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, improving the sealing performance between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe, thereby improving the heat preservation effect of the spiral air duct body;

[0027] 2. When the spiral air duct body is inserted into the connection groove, the end of the spiral air duct abuts against the linkage rod. Through the transmission of the linkage assembly, the ejector rod moves towards the spiral air duct. The ejector rod pushes the sealing layer towards the spiral air duct body, improving the sealing performance between the sealing layer and the spiral air duct body. The sealing layer is pressed tightly against the spiral air duct body, improving the heat preservation effect of the air duct and reducing the relative displacement between the spiral air duct body and the connecting pipe along its axial direction;

[0028] 3. When the spiral air duct body moves towards the bottom of the connection groove, the end of the spiral air duct body abuts against the linkage rod and moves towards the bottom of the connection groove. The end of the linkage rod connected to the hinge plate moves along the length direction of the hinge plate. The hinge plate rotates away from the linkage rod, and the rack moves in the direction opposite to the linkage rod. The end of the rack connected to the hinge plate moves along the length direction of the hinge plate. The rack drives the gear to rotate, and the ejector rod moves towards the connection groove, thus realizing the linkage between the linkage rod and the ejector rod. Description of the Drawings

[0048] An installation method for the heat insulation structure of a spiral air duct includes the following steps:

[0049] S1: Assemble the segments 6 together. Insert the first connecting strip 10 and the second connecting strip 11 vertically into each other so that the segments 6 are assembled into the middle pipe body 5. Then, align the spiral grooves 12 on the inner sidewall of the middle pipe body 5 with the spiral ribs on the inner pipe 3, and rotate the inner pipe 3 to connect the inner pipe 3 with the middle pipe body 5. Align the spiral grooves 12 on the outer sidewall of the middle pipe body 5 with the spiral ribs on the outer pipe 4, and rotate the outer pipe 4 in the direction opposite to that of the inner pipe 3 to connect the outer pipe 4 with the middle pipe body 5, thus completing the connection of the spiral air duct body 1.

[0050] S2: Insert the spiral air duct body 1 into the connection groove 13. When the spiral air duct body 1 moves towards the bottom of the connection groove 13, the end of the spiral air duct body 1 facing the connecting pipe 2 abuts against the linkage rod 17, causing the linkage rod 17 to move towards the bottom of the connection groove 13.

Since the rotation direction of the middle pipe body 5 is opposite to that between the outer pipe 4 and the inner pipe 3, after the spiral air duct body 1 is inserted into the connection groove 13, the ejector rod 23 and the sealing layer 28 fix the end of the spiral air duct body 1 in the connection groove 13, and the middle pipe body 5 is not easily separated from the outer pipe 4 and the inner pipe 3.

[0051] S3: Rotate the ratchet 31 so that the ratchet racks 30 move closer to each other, thereby driving the tightening belt 29 to tighten the end of the connecting pipe 2 with the notch 14 towards the axis of the connecting pipe 2, thus clamping the spiral air duct body 1.
