Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bellows structures, in particular to a heat-insulating metal soft connecting pipe. Background Art
[0002] In high-temperature medium pipelines, such as solar collectors, flexible metal flexible connecting pipes are often needed. The existing conventional insulation method is that after the pipeline is connected, the insulation material is coated on the outside of the metal flexible connecting pipe, and then the aluminum film tape is wrapped to protect the insulation material. When this method is applied to large projects, if the dual goals of insulation and aesthetics need to be achieved, there is a large workload, complicated operation, and high construction cost; if the cost needs to be reduced, a hard insulation pipe shell is usually used as an outer jacket, and then aluminum foil is wrapped around the outside for protection, which has an ugly appearance. If the above two methods encounter that the equipment connected to the insulation pipeline needs to be repaired, the insulation pipeline must be removed, and the removal will destroy the insulation structure. After the equipment is repaired, the insulation structure still needs to be restored, which has the defect of poor maintainability. In the project, because it is not possible to solve the problems of insulation construction process, control insulation cost and insulation structure aesthetics, this part of the metal hose has to be not insulated, and this part of the metal hose has a large heat loss during use.

In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Thus, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0021] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the same figure mark is used to represent the same component or the same part.
[0022] The utility model aims to provide a heat-insulating metal flexible connecting pipe to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so as to improve the convenience of on-site construction while improving the heat-insulating performance of the metal flexible connecting pipe.
[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a thermal insulation metal flexible connecting pipe, including an inner pipe, the outer circumference of the inner pipe is sequentially covered with a thermal insulation layer, a waterproof layer and a stainless steel threading pipe 5 from the inside to the outside, the thermal insulation layer is tightly wrapped around the outer circumference of the inner pipe, the waterproof layer is tightly fitted to the thermal insulation layer, and there is a gap between the stainless steel threading pipe 5 and the thermal insulation layer.
[0025] The inner tube is a metal flexible connecting tube, which is usually a metal bellows 1. The channel in the metal bellows 1 is a flow channel for the high temperature medium. Furthermore, a metal braided mesh 2 arranged outside the metal bellows 1 may also be included.
[0026] Both ends of the inner tube are provided with chucks, threads or flange joints.
[0027] The insulation layer can be made of different materials according to different temperature resistance requirements. Take the metal flexible connecting pipe with an inner diameter of 40mm as an example:
[0028] If the required temperature is 120°C to 400°C, a glass fiber tape 3 is selected and spirally wound on the outer surface of the pipe with a thickness of 8 to 9 mm, and then a waterproof heat shrink tube 4 is installed outside the insulation layer to waterproof the insulation material.
[0029] If the temperature needs to be tolerated below 120°C, you can choose B1 grade flame retardant rubber and plastic insulation cotton with an inner diameter of 48mm and a wall thickness of 9mm. Wrap the flame retardant rubber and plastic insulation cotton tightly around the metal flexible connecting pipe, and then install 4 waterproof heat shrink tubes outside the insulation layer to waterproof the insulation material.
[0030] Finally, a 304 stainless steel threading tube 5 with a corresponding diameter (such as 75 mm) is sleeved outside the waterproof heat shrink tube 4. The threading tube has good expansion and bending properties and anti-ultraviolet radiation capabilities.
[0031] In solar collector projects, metal flexible pipes are exposed without external insulation. The working temperature of the liquid in the pipe is usually 80-90℃. The outdoor temperature in winter can reach -10-20℃, with a temperature difference of about 100℃. This part of the pipe has serious heat loss. Prefabricating the insulation layer, waterproof layer and stainless steel threading pipe 5 as a protective layer outside the metal flexible pipe can effectively reduce heat loss.
[0032] This embodiment can be prefabricated in a factory and can be directly connected via flange joints at the construction site without the need for additional insulation work.
[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0034] If the present invention discloses or involves components or structures that are fixedly connected to each other, then, unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (for example, connection using bolts or screws), and can also be understood as: a non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding). Of course, the mutual fixed connection can also be replaced by an integrated structure (for example, manufactured by one-piece molding using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an one-piece molding process).
[0035] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in the above utility model include states or shapes that are approximate, similar or close thereto.
[0036] Any component provided by the utility model can be assembled from multiple separate components, or can be a separate component manufactured by an integrated molding process.
[0037] Adaptive changes made according to actual needs are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
