Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water pipe antifreeze, and in particular to a design method for a combined multi-antifreeze and water leakage monitoring water pipe. Background Art

[0002] In cold areas, due to the low external ambient temperature, ice is prone to form inside water pipes, which will not only lead to water supply interruptions, but may also cause serious pipe damage and property losses. The only common antifreeze measure for pipes is to wrap them with insulation. However, the external insulation layer often has poor durability. After being exposed to the sun and rain, the insulation performance is greatly reduced and ice cannot be completely avoided. There is currently a lack of low-cost, simple and effective antifreeze measures for water pipes.

[0003] At present, there are some methods for antifreeze measures for water pipes. For example, the patent with application number CN 202210527810.7 discloses an antifreeze water pipe. The invention can better achieve the purpose of antifreeze of water pipes by combining resistance wire heating and vibration hammer on the outside of the water pipe. However, this method has extremely high requirements on circuit stability and durability, and if the water pipe itself ruptures, it will cause huge safety and economic losses; the patent with application number CN 202123021724.9 discloses a multi-layer thermal insulation antifreeze water pipe. The utility model installs electric heating wires and temperature sensors on the outside of the internal water pipe, and continues to wrap it with aeroponic felt, insulation layer and anti-aging cloth. It has high thermal insulation and antifreeze performance, but the installation cost is high, and it needs to be continuously powered on for operation, and its actual application promotion is general.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a design method for a combined multiple antifreeze and water leakage monitoring water pipe. This structural design does not rely on external heating, but can achieve the purpose of thermal insulation, antifreeze and water leakage warning through the reasonable design of the structural layer. The splicing installation method is also simpler and the material cost is lower. Summary of the invention

[0010] Preferably, the antifreeze layer is composed of an inner PVC sleeve and a thermal insulation material bonded to the outside of the PVC sleeve, the inner diameter of the antifreeze layer is equal to the outer diameter d2 of the fixing ring and the waterproof ring, and the thickness of the antifreeze layer is 4-7 cm.

[0011] Preferably, the PVC sleeve is composed of two semicircular rings and is fixed by connecting ribs with corresponding buckles on the inner tube walls of the semicircular rings.

[0012] Preferably, the thermal insulation material is one of polyurethane foam, sponge and polyethylene.
