[0004] In practice, the fluid is carried by pipes. Under a fixed flow rate and velocity, different pipe paths have different effects on the fluid. For example, different sizes of bends, the viscosity and flow state of the fluid inside the pipe, etc., all affect the heat exchange efficiency. However, the existing technology mentioned above does not address the impact of different heat exchange pipe paths on heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the experimental data obtained from the experimental methods of this existing technology cannot provide theoretical support for the impact of different heat exchange paths on heat exchange efficiency.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0031] An experimental apparatus for measuring the heat transfer efficiency of a fluid under different heat transfer paths includes an insulated chamber 1, with a heating component 11 inside the chamber 1 for heating the interior of the chamber to maintain a constant temperature. A water pipe 2 is located on each of the two sides of the insulated chamber 1 for water inlet and outlet. The apparatus also includes:

[0032] Insulation pipe 3 is installed inside water pipe 2. The insulation pipe 3 can expand and contract inside water pipe 2. That is to say, the outer surface of insulation pipe 3 is in movable fit with the inner wall of water pipe 2, and a sealing ring is provided between the two to prevent fluid leakage.

[0033] Pipe 4, both ends of pipe 4 are connected to two insulated pipes 3; by changing the shape of pipe (4), the fluid transport path will be changed accordingly.

[0034] Temperature sensor 5 is installed inside pipe 4; preferably, temperature sensor 5 is installed at the connection between pipe 4 and insulation pipe 3, so that the fluid flowing into pipe 4 and the fluid flowing out of pipe 4 can be measured by setting two sets of temperature sensors 5, and the heat exchange situation can be obtained by the temperature difference between the two sets of temperature sensors 5; of course, the temperature sensor 5 is not limited to being set at the connection between pipe 4 and insulation pipe 3, but can also be distributed inside pipe 4, and its number can be adaptively selected according to the actual experimental conditions to record the temperature changes at different positions of pipe 4.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, pipe 4 is a malleable pipe, and the fluid flow path is changed by altering the shape of pipe 4 through external force. The fluid flow path is then used as a variable in the experiment.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the pipe 4 is a flexible telescopic hose. The experimental apparatus also includes a support plate 6, which is a thin-walled, malleable plate. The support plate 6 is placed horizontally below the pipe 4. When the support plate 6 is subjected to external force, it deforms, and the pipe 4 comes into contact with the deformed support plate 6, thereby changing the path of the pipe 4. The deformation of the support plate 6 under external force can be achieved by the experimenter applying force to it, thereby deforming the support plate 6, or by using other tools that assist in deforming the support plate 6.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the support plate 6 is a thin-walled aluminum plate.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the experimental apparatus further includes an auxiliary deformation component 7, which comprises a rotary drive component, a telescopic part 71, a support frame 72, and rollers 73. The rotary drive component is disposed inside the insulation box 1, the telescopic part 71 is disposed on the actuating component of the rotary drive component, and the support frame 72 is disposed on the actuating component of the telescopic part 71. Two rollers 73 are rotatably mounted on the support frame 72, with a gap between the two rollers 73. When the support plate 6 is vertically positioned and enters the gap between the rollers 73, the swinging telescopic part 71 can apply a bending force to the support plate 6. This embodiment is equivalent to applying force to the support plate 6 with the aid of an auxiliary deformation tool, and this embodiment still requires the support plate 6 to be vertically placed between the two rollers 73.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the experimental apparatus further includes an adjustment component for adjusting the position of the support plate 6. The actuating part of the adjustment component is connected to the support plate 6 and is used to drive the support plate 6 to rotate and vertically lift. In other words, the solution disclosed in this embodiment solves the problem of manually placing the support plate 6 vertically between the two rollers 73 in the above embodiment and applying external force to deform the support plate 6 in a fully automatic manner.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes cylinders 8, connecting frames 81, and a transmission assembly. Two cylinders 8 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support plate 6, and the power output end of each cylinder 8 is provided with a connecting frame 81, which is rotatably connected to the end of the support plate 6. The transmission assembly acts on the support plate 6; when the support plate 6 rises or falls, the transmission assembly converts linear motion into rotational motion, thereby achieving the flipping of the support plate 6. Of course, the method of driving the support plate 6 to flip is not limited to this; it can also be combined with a motor. For example, a motor can be installed at the end of the cylinder 8, and the power output end of the motor can be connected to the support plate 6. Those skilled in the art can adaptively select different driving methods according to actual needs.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a friction wheel 82 and a friction plate 83. The friction wheel 82 is connected to the end of the support plate 6, while the friction plate 83 is disposed inside the insulation box 1. The friction wheel 82 and the friction plate 83 are in frictional contact. Therefore, when the support plate 6 is raised or lowered, the friction wheel 82 moves relative to the fixed friction plate 83, causing the friction wheel 82 to rotate the support plate 6. The transmission method disclosed in this embodiment is a friction transmission pair, but it is not limited to this; it can also be a gear and rack transmission pair.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the rotary drive assembly is a rotary cylinder 75. The telescopic part 71 is disposed on the power output end of the rotary cylinder 75.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic part 71 includes an outer rod 711 and a telescopic inner rod 712. The telescopic inner rod 712 is movably installed inside the outer rod 711, and a limiting bolt 74 is provided in a threaded hole on the outer rod 711. The end of the limiting bolt 74 contacts the telescopic inner rod 712, and the support frame 72 is connected to the telescopic inner rod 712, which serves as an actuating component. In this embodiment, the telescopic part 71 achieves extension and retraction by pushing and pulling the telescopic inner rod 712. Of course, a linear electric cylinder can also be used directly instead.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, a water tank 12 is provided on each side of the insulated box 1. One water tank 12 is used for water storage when water is introduced, while the other water tank 12 is used for water storage in the reflux state. The ends of the two water pipes 2 are located inside the two water tanks 12 respectively, and a water pump 21 is provided at the end of the water pipe 2 used for water introduction.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] 1) This invention utilizes a telescopic hose in experiments. An external force is applied to the support plate 6, causing it to deform. When the telescopic hose adheres to the deformed support plate 6, its shape changes, thus altering the convection path. To prevent the hose from failing to adhere to the deformed support plate 6, the insulation pipe 3 is pulled out from the water pipe 2 to accommodate the change in the hose's path. Water then enters the telescopic hose through one water pipe 2 and exits through the other, achieving a convection effect. Meanwhile, the heating component 1... 1. The insulation box 1 is heated to maintain a constant temperature inside. The water temperature entering the telescopic hose is lower than the temperature inside the insulation box 1. Temperature sensors 5 are installed at both the inlet and outlet of the telescopic hose. The temperature sensor 5 at the inlet end measures the water temperature before heat exchange, while the temperature at the outlet end measures the water temperature after heat exchange. The temperature difference between the two is the heat exchange efficiency. Multiple sets of experimental data are obtained by controlling variables, including the path of the telescopic hose. The optimal path for heat exchange efficiency is determined through multiple sets of experimental data.

[0047] Of course, this application also discloses two ways to apply force to the support plate 6. One is that the experimenter applies the force manually, and the other is to apply the force using mechanical parts. The application of force manually is a reasonable choice made by the experimenter according to actual needs, and the process will not be described in detail here. The force applied by the mechanical components is explained as follows: Cylinder 8 drives the support plate 6 to descend. During the descent of the support plate 6, the friction wheel 82 and the friction plate 83 undergo relative displacement, causing the friction wheel 82 to rotate. At this time, the rotating friction wheel 82 drives the support plate 6 connected to it to rotate synchronously. The support plate 6 rotates 90 degrees and then enters the gap between the two rollers 73. Then, the rotating cylinder 75 drives the telescopic part 71 to swing, causing the support plate 6 to deform. Finally, the deformed support plate 6 re-supports the telescopic hose. Then, the heat preservation pipe 3 is pulled so that the telescopic hose can fit against the deformed support plate 6, and the path of the telescopic hose changes accordingly. Since the change of the path of the telescopic hose is a variable in this experiment, the length of the telescopic part 71 is changed to achieve the effect of changing the deformation of the support plate 6, so that the deformation size of the support plate 6 is different each time.

[0048] 2) This invention utilizes a plastic pipe for experiments. By changing the shape of the plastic pipe through external force, the flow direction of the fluid is altered, and the heat transfer effect under different flow directions is recorded. The collection of experimental data and the verification of experimental results are based on the same principle as described above.

[0049] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
