Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cold storage pipeline installation technology, and in particular to a device for preventing cold bridges in metal pipes passing through walls in cold storage. Background Technology

[0002] Due to temperature differences between adjacent storage rooms or between the inside and outside of a cold storage facility, the connection of metal pipes or cable conduits can create "cold bridges." These bridges are prone to icing, frost, and condensation. If not addressed promptly, these problems worsen, damaging the insulation layer and components near the bridge. Cold bridges are arguably one of the main causes of damage to cold storage insulation systems, reducing insulation performance, significantly increasing energy consumption, and even compromising building structure. Therefore, addressing cold bridges directly impacts the insulation and durability of the cold storage facility.

[0003] 1. A Chinese patent discloses a sliding support for preventing cold bridges in steel-jacketed steel pipes (Publication No.: CN2898543Y). This sliding support, from the inside out, includes a working steel pipe, a steel bushing, an inorganic insulation layer, an air layer, and an outer protective steel pipe. Three sliding supports, evenly arranged in three circumferential directions, are connected at one end to the steel bushing and slide in contact with the outer protective steel pipe at the other end. Its unique feature is that a rigid inorganic insulation material for heat insulation is provided between the steel bushing and the working steel pipe; fastening steel strips are provided on the outer surface of the inorganic insulation layer and on both sides of the sliding supports. This invention solves the problem of heat leakage caused by the sliding support itself, eliminates the impact of external corrosion failure caused by it, and ensures the actual service life of the outer protective pipe. The increase in production costs caused by this product is minimal, resulting in significant economic benefits.

[0004] 2. For example, Chinese patent discloses a steel pipe support structure for preventing cold bridges in large-diameter pipelines (publication number: CN216010016U), which includes a steel arc plate to prevent cold bridges in pipelines. The bottom of the steel arc plate is set on an insulation layer, which includes anti-corrosion pads. The anti-corrosion pads are provided with fixing plates on both the upper and lower sides. The anti-corrosion pads are placed between the two fixing plates, which are connected by screws. One end of the steel pipe support is provided on the fixing plate above the anti-corrosion pads, and the other end of the steel pipe support is fixedly welded to the steel arc plate. A core insulation layer is added to the lower part of the steel pipe support, which completely solves the shortcomings of traditional steel pipe supports, such as poor insulation performance, resulting in a large amount of material waste and affecting the appearance during later insulation construction.

[0005] In the past, the common method for preventing cold bridges in metal pipes passing through walls in cold storage was to pass the pipe and the insulation and moisture-proof layer through the wall as a whole, and to use polyurethane secondary foaming between the outer layer of the insulation layer and the wall. However, due to pipe vibration and displacement during construction or thermal expansion and contraction during use, this method may cause damage to the integrity of the pipe and damage to the insulation layer after long-term use.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a cold bridge prevention device for metal pipes passing through walls in cold storage to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0050] Depending on the temperature of the installation environment, the distance between the inner diameter of the outer shell 2 and the outer diameter of the pipe is the thickness of the insulation layer. Generally, when the installation environment temperature is -40℃, the distance between the inner diameter of the outer shell 2 and the outer diameter of the pipe should not be less than 100mm, the length of the outer shell 2 should not be less than 1.5m, the diameter of the mounting base 1 is 200mm larger than the diameter of the outer shell 2, and the length of the mounting base 1 is 200mm.

Radially combine the first plastic base 101 and the second plastic base 102 on the outside of the metal pipe to form a whole. The base concave edge 105 and the base protruding edge 106 are tightly fitted and locked. Secure the mounting base 1 to the wall through the mounting fixing hole 108, and ensure that the first plastic base 101 and the second plastic base 102 are coplanar.

[0054] Step 2: Axially assemble the first plastic shell 201 and the second plastic shell 202 on the outside of the metal pipe, and axially clamp the locking groove 203 and the locking square bar 204, aligning their ends. Insert the mounting points 207 on the shell body 2 into the base slots 107 on the mounting base 1, thereby installing the shell body 2 onto the mounting base 1.

[0055] Step 3: The space between the outer shell 2 and the pipe is completely filled with polyurethane foam, and the pipe is tightly wrapped with insulation material.

[0056] Step 4: Combine the first sealing plug 301 and the second sealing plug 302 radially on the outside of the pipe to form a whole. At this time, the sealing disc concave flange 303 and the sealing disc convex flange 304 are tightly fitted and locked together, and the first sealing plug 301 and the second sealing plug 302 are coplanar. Insert the mounting point 207 on the outer shell body 2 into the sealing disc slot 305 on the sealing plug 3, thereby installing the sealing plug 3 onto the outer shell body 2.

[0057] Step 5: After the wall insulation is completed, the joint between the insulation and the device is sealed with polyurethane sealant, and the outer layer of the cold bridge prevention device for the metal pipes passing through the wall in the cold storage is wrapped or sprayed with moisture-proof and vapor-barrier material.
