Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of screws, and in particular to a special pipe joint clamping screw. Background Art
[0002] Screws are tools that use the physics and mathematical principles of the circular rotation of the inclined surface of an object and the friction force to gradually fasten objects and parts. Screws are a general term for fasteners and a daily colloquialism. Screws are indispensable industrial necessities in daily life: such as very small screws used in cameras, glasses, clocks, electronics, etc.; general screws for televisions, electrical products, musical instruments, furniture, etc.; as for engineering, construction, and bridges, large screws and nuts are used; transportation equipment, airplanes, trams, cars, etc. use both large and small screws. Screws have important tasks in industry, and as long as there is industry on the earth, the function of screws will always be important.
[0003] The vacuum tube of the medium-temperature solar water heating system is the core component of the solar water heating system and is called the "heart" of the medium-temperature solar water heating system. The quality of the vacuum tube directly affects the service life and performance of the solar water heating system. The rapid development of the solar energy industry has not only driven the development of vacuum tube companies, but also promoted the employment of local personnel.
[0004] In the existing solar vacuum collector tubes, the U-shaped heat exchange tubes and the T-shaped tubes of the collector header are mainly connected by threaded connection to form an integral pipeline. The T-shaped pipe fittings need to be sealed and connected to the U-shaped heat exchange tubes through sealing rings. Once the sealing rings are damaged, they need to be replaced repeatedly. In addition, in order to fix the position of the U-shaped heat exchange tubes in the collector header, most of them are fixedly welded to the head of the collector header. Therefore, when leakage occurs between the heat exchange tubes and the T-shaped tubes, it is difficult to replace the screws in time, which wastes labor costs. Therefore, the prior art urgently needs an improved connecting screw for connecting the heat exchange tubes and the collector header in the medium-temperature solar vacuum collector. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present application proposes a special pipe joint clamping screw to solve the above problem.
[0006] According to one aspect of the present application, a special pipe joint ferrule screw is proposed, which is suitable for connecting a heat exchange tube and a heat collecting manifold, and comprises: a nut and a screw; the nut is connected through the heat exchange tube, and the screw is connected through the heat exchange tube; a raised portion is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the screw, and the nut screw connects the screw to the raised portion; a clamping piece and a sealing ferrule are provided between the screw and the nut, an opening of the clamping piece contacts the tube wall of the heat exchange tube, an opening of the sealing ferrule contacts the tube wall of the heat exchange tube, and one end of the clamping piece is in contact with the tube wall of the heat exchange tube. The outer diameter of the compression piece is larger than the inner diameter of the nut end close to the heat exchange tube; the inner diameter of the screw end close to the nut is larger than the inner diameter of the screw end away from the nut; the inner diameter of the screw end close to the nut is larger than the inner diameter of the screw end away from the nut, and the outer diameter of the sealing sleeve end away from the nut is larger than the inner diameter of the screw end away from the heat exchange tube.
[0007] In a possible implementation, a groove is provided at one end of the nut away from the screw rod, and the groove is snap-fitted on the heat collecting manifold.
[0008] In a possible implementation, a first through hole is provided in the middle of the nut, and an internal thread is provided in the first through hole near the end of the screw rod; a first external thread is provided at one end of the screw rod near the nut, and the first external thread matches the internal thread.
[0009] In a possible implementation manner, a second through hole is provided in the middle of the screw rod, and the second through hole is in a conical structure shape.
[0010] In a possible implementation, a second external thread is provided at one end of the screw rod away from the nut, and the second external thread is connected to a T-shaped connector.
[0011] In a possible implementation, the groove is arranged along the circumference of the nut, and the groove is in an annular structure.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the screw is made of stainless steel.
[0016] Beneficial effects of this application:
[0017] The special pipe joint sleeve screw proposed in the present application is connected by inserting the heat exchange tube into the inside of the screw by inserting the nut into the screw, and the nut is screwed to the screw. The connection method is simple, and because a compression piece and a sealing sleeve are provided between the screw and the nut, when the nut and the screw are screwed, the compression piece and the sealing sleeve are squeezed, so that the sealing sleeve and the compression piece squeeze the heat exchange tube, and the inner edge of the sealing sleeve is stuck in the heat exchange tube, thereby achieving fixed sealing and reducing the number of disassembly due to insufficient sealing. A raised portion is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the screw, and when maintenance is required, the handle is directly brought into contact with the raised portion to generate friction, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the maintenance personnel.

Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the special pipe joint sleeve screw 10 is suitable for connecting the heat exchange tube 20 and the heat collecting manifold 30, and includes: a nut 400 and a screw 100; the nut 400 is connected to the heat exchange tube 20, and the screw 100 is connected to the heat exchange tube 20; a raised portion 110 is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the screw 100, and the nut 400 screw 10 connects the screw 100 to the raised portion 110; a pressing piece 300 and a sealing sleeve 200 are provided between the screw 100 and the nut 400, the opening of the pressing piece 300 is in contact with the tube wall of the heat exchange tube 20, the opening of the sealing sleeve 200 is in contact with the tube wall of the heat exchange tube 20, and one end of the pressing piece 300 is in contact with the tube wall of the heat exchange tube 20. The nut 400 is pressed against the other end of the pressing piece 300, and the other end of the sealing sleeve 200 is pressed against the screw 100; specifically, the inner diameter of the nut 400 close to the heat exchange tube 20 is smaller than the inner diameter of the nut 400 close to the screw 100, and the outer diameter of the pressing piece 300 is larger than the inner diameter of the nut 400 close to the heat exchange tube 20; the inner diameter of the screw 100 close to the nut 400 is larger than the inner diameter of the screw 100 away from the nut 400, and the outer diameter of the sealing sleeve 200 away from the nut 400 is larger than the inner diameter of the screw 100 away from the heat exchange tube 20.

By installing a pressing piece 300 and a sealing sleeve 200 between the nut 400 and the screw 100, the sealing performance of the connection between the nut 400 and the screw 100 is stronger, and because the pressing piece 300 and the sealing sleeve 200 are double protected, and the sealing sleeve 200 is not easy to be damaged, it is reduced for maintenance personnel to repair the seal between the heat exchange tube 20 and the T-tube. Specifically, the nut 400 and the screw 100 squeeze the sealing sleeve 200, so that the sealing sleeve 200 is elastically deformed, which prevents the nut 400 from loosening on the one hand, and absorbs the vibration of the hydraulic pipeline on the other hand, thereby ensuring the sealing in the pipeline and reducing the number of times the U-shaped heat exchange tube 20 and the T-shaped tube at the head of the heat collecting manifold 30 are disassembled. Further, if it is necessary to inspect the sealing between the heat exchange tube 20 and the heat collecting manifold 30, the raised portion 110 in the middle of the outer wall of the screw 100 can be rotated to loosen the screw 100 and the nut 400 or / and the screw 100 and the connector, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the maintenance personnel.
