Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipeline water supply equipment, in particular, especially relates to a water distributor device capable of reducing turbulent flow. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a fluid conveying system, a water distributor is a key equipment for realizing fluid distribution and allocation, and is widely applied in many fields such as floor heating, tap water supply, temperature adjustment, etc. The water distributor is mainly used in a water system, and is responsible for connecting the water supply and return water of each heating pipe, and plays a role of distributing and pressure dividing. Specifically, when water enters a room, it passes through a multifunctional filter and enters a main lever of the water distributor, and then heat is evenly distributed to each branch pipe by using the principle of pressure difference. Then the water in each branch pipe flows back into the main lever, and then flows into the heating system from a water outlet. In this way, the cycle is not stopped, so as to achieve the effect of heating the room.

[0003] With the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of life and the development of industrial production, higher requirements are put forward for the performance, service life, operation convenience, etc. of the water distributor.

[0004] However, the water distributor in the prior art still has many defects and problems, which limits its further promotion and application: at present, the widely used water distributor in the market mainly adopts a simple branch device design. The main body is usually composed of a main pipeline and a plurality of branch pipelines directly welded or threaded connected on the main pipeline, without a special internal flow guide device, which is easy to cause flow distribution deviation, resulting in uneven fluid distribution. The connection mode of the main pipeline and the branch pipeline is mostly vertical welding, and the inner wall of the pipeline is mostly right angle transition or simple chamfer treatment. When the fluid flows through this area, the flow direction changes suddenly, which is easy to produce turbulent flow and vortex phenomenon, resulting in large pressure loss and wasting system energy. The traditional water distributor is mostly assembled by traditional welding processes such as argon arc welding. The large heat input of the process causes the grain coarsening near the weld of the water distributor made of stainless steel, copper alloy and other materials, and the corrosion resistance significantly decreases. For thin-walled water distributors, warping deformation is easy to occur during the welding process, and the flatness error is large, which affects the subsequent installation and sealing effect. In addition, the stability of manual welding operation is poor, and defects such as pores, cracks and incomplete penetration are easy to occur in the weld, which not only reduces the device strength of the water distributor, but also may cause fluid leakage, increases the maintenance cost and safety hazard of the system. At the same time, the welding speed of the traditional welding process is slow, and the production efficiency is low, which is difficult to meet the demand of large-scale production. The device design of the traditional water distributor is relatively fixed, and the components are mostly welded and connected in a non-detachable manner. When a branch pipeline or a sealing component fails, it is difficult to repair and replace individually, and the whole water distributor often needs to be disassembled and even the whole device needs to be replaced, which is complex in maintenance process and high in maintenance cost. Moreover, the internal device of the traditional water distributor is not easy to clean, and after long-term use, impurities in the fluid are easy to deposit on the inner wall of the pipeline and the branch interface, further aggravating the problems of uneven flow distribution and pressure loss, and affecting the normal operation of the system. The branch interface specifications lack unified standards, and the interfaces of water distributors produced by different manufacturers are not compatible.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a water distributor device that reduces turbulent flow to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a water distributor device that reduces turbulent flow, which solves the problems of uneven fluid distribution due to the lack of a special internal flow guide device in the existing water distributor, the easy generation of turbulent flow and vortex phenomenon due to the simple treatment of the pipeline inner wall, the significant decrease of corrosion resistance and the easy generation of warping deformation due to the use of traditional welding process for assembly, and the lack of unified standards for branch interface specifications and the incompatibility of water distributor interfaces produced by different manufacturers.

The water distributor main pipe 1 and the flow meter 3 are connected through the installation block 11, and the water distributor main pipe 1 and the water distributor branch pipe 9 are connected through the fixed seat 8 to form a modular design between devices, which simplifies the device and the manufacturing process of the device, reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs, and enables each component to be separately processed and assembled, thereby reducing the production difficulty and cost. At the same time, the standardized connection mode and interface design make the installation of the device more convenient. In addition, each modular component can be individually disassembled and replaced, so that when a branch pipe or a sealing element fails, the entire device does not need to be disassembled, and only the failed component needs to be replaced, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 The top of the flow meter 3 is provided with a shell 37; the side wall 5 of the top of the shell 37 is provided with a scale 31, which is accurate to L / min, and is convenient to use and quick to check the internal condition under the premise of ensuring accuracy. The side wall 5 of the shell 37 is fixedly provided with an auxiliary measuring ring 32.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 The inside of the shell 37 is provided with a flow meter main body 33, which extends from the shell 37 to the inside of the water distributor main pipe 1; the flow meter main body 33 is axially inserted with a push rod 35, the top of the push rod 35 is fixedly provided with a top plate 38, and the bottom is provided with a piston 36; and the top plate 38 and the top of the flow meter main body 33 are provided with a spring 34.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 The fixed cover 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the flow meter 3 close to the water distributor main pipe 1, and the two sides of the fixed cover 4 are fixedly provided with side plates 6, which can be quickly disassembled and assembled using tools, thereby facilitating quick maintenance and assembly production.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the mounting block 11 is provided with a water inlet 113, and a flow guide seat 114 is provided below the water inlet 113. The flow guide seat 114 is fitted onto the outer wall of the flow meter body 33.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, an installation thread 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the water distributor pipe 9, and the water distributor pipe 9 is connected to the external pipeline through the installation thread 10; the water distributor pipe 9 is designed with a standardized interface, which is convenient for compatibility with existing pipeline systems and supports quick installation and maintenance rotation.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the main pipe 1 of the distributor includes side walls 5, with rounded corners 51 between adjacent sides. The top and bottom of two adjacent side walls 5 are also rounded to prevent impurity accumulation. Together with the guide seat 114 in the mounting block 11, they form a flow guiding device, guiding the fluid smoothly into each branch outlet pipe. This avoids the flow distribution deviation caused by the lack of a flow guiding device in traditional distributors, effectively reducing the generation of turbulence and eddies, thus reducing the flow deviation of each branch outlet pipe. This significantly reduces the occurrence of local hot spots or cold zones within the system, making it particularly suitable for temperature-sensitive applications such as heating and cooling, improving the system's performance and significantly enhancing fluid distribution uniformity. Simultaneously, it effectively reduces energy loss during fluid flow. Under the same flow demand, it can reduce the operating load of system pumps and other power equipment, reducing system operating energy consumption and saving energy costs.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the main pipe 1 of the water distributor is provided with interfaces 2 at both ends, and the interfaces 2 are connected to the external pipelines; the interfaces 2 are designed as standardized interfaces, which are easy to be compatible with the existing pipeline system and support quick installation and maintenance.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, a first sealing ring 12 and a third sealing ring 14 are installed between the mounting block 11 and the flow meter 3. The first sealing ring 12 is located inside the main pipe 1 of the distributor. The third sealing ring 14 is located between the mounting block 11 and the outer casing 37. A second sealing ring 13 is installed between the inlet 113 and the top and bottom of the flow meter 3, respectively. A fourth sealing ring 15 is installed between the mounting block 11 and the main pipe 1 of the distributor. A fifth sealing ring 16 is installed between the fixing seat 8 and the branch pipe 9 of the distributor. The first sealing ring 12, the second sealing ring 13, the third sealing ring 14, the fourth sealing ring 15, and the fifth sealing ring 16 are made of elastic material. The elastic design can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, prevent leakage, and further extend the service life of the device.

[0048] Meanwhile, the main pipe 1 of the manifold is made of corrosion-resistant alloy or engineering plastic, effectively avoiding the shortened service life of traditional manifolds due to weld corrosion and pipe rust. The integrated molding process eliminates the need for welding, making it easier to solve the internal rounding problem. It also avoids the high heat input of traditional welding processes such as argon arc welding, which leads to grain coarsening near the weld seams of stainless steel and copper alloy manifolds, reducing corrosion resistance. Furthermore, it avoids the technical problems of warping, large flatness errors, poor stability during manual operation, and defects such as porosity and cracks, as well as slow welding speeds in thin-walled manifolds.
