Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solar energy new energy, and in particular relates to a solar water heater vacuum tube collector tail frame assembly. Background Art

[0002] Water heaters are an indispensable part of the life of residents. At present, the widely used water heaters on the market include electric water heaters, solar water heaters and gas water heaters. Solar water heaters are a heating device that converts sunlight into heat energy. They can heat water from low temperature to high temperature to meet people's hot water needs in life and production. Solar water heaters are mainly composed of heat collecting tubes, water storage tanks and brackets and other related parts. The heat collecting tube is the core component, which is responsible for converting solar energy into heat energy. Under sunlight, the heat collecting tube absorbs the heat of sunlight to increase the water temperature. When hot water is needed, it can be transported to the required place through pipes.

[0003] The solar water heaters currently on the market include: solar water heaters with direct heat exchange through direct insertion of the collector tube; solar water heaters with indirect heat exchange through the collector tube with condensing end and evaporating end, and the water tank with blind pipe, such as all-glass heat pipe vacuum collector tube and metal heat pipe vacuum collector tube.

[0004] For indirect heat exchange solar water heaters, when assembling this type of collector tube with the water tank and bracket, due to structural limitations, the tail bracket where the tail of the collector tube is assembled with the bracket is mostly divided into two parts. One part is to insert the cylindrical hole body with a clip into the collector tube, and then assemble it to the tail seat of the bracket, and then screw the other part of the tail cone with a thread into the cylindrical hole body. This tail bracket is suitable for metal heat pipe vacuum collector tubes with shorter condensation ends and smaller diameters. However, for all-glass heat pipe vacuum collector tubes, since the condensation end is relatively long (the shortest is 120mm), the height between the tail seat of the bracket and the ground must be increased, and the installation must be carried out from the bottom of the cylindrical hole body. This not only increases the cost, but also makes installation more troublesome and the structure more complicated. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to use a solar water heater vacuum tube collector tail frame assembly, so that the inner cavity of the tail frame body is plugged into the lower end of the vacuum tube, and then the clip and the positioning protrusion of the tail frame body are plugged into the card slot unit area of ​​the tail seat in a pressing manner, which is easy to install and has a simple and compact structure.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A solar water heater vacuum tube collector tail frame assembly, comprising a tail frame body and a tail seat fixed on a solar support, wherein the tail frame body is provided with an inner cavity for inserting the end of the vacuum tube, and the inner cavity is divided into a columnar portion and a cone portion;

[0008] The outer side wall of the column part is provided with clips on the left and right sides, and the bottom side wall is provided with positioning protrusions extending horizontally to the left and right sides;

[0010] A positioning slot is provided between the two vertical slots, and the positioning slot can be plugged with the positioning protrusion.

[0011] Furthermore, the left and right ends of the positioning protrusion are respectively provided with triangular teeth, and the left and right sides of the positioning slot are evenly distributed with a plurality of triangular notches.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the clip and the positioning protrusion are on the same horizontal plane.

[0013] Furthermore, a first through hole is provided at the tip of the cone portion, and a second through hole is provided on the side wall.

[0014] Furthermore, the tailstock body is formed by injection molding of hard plastic.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. After the upper end of the vacuum tube is installed with the water tank, the inner cavity of the tail frame body is inserted into the lower end of the vacuum tube, and then the clip and the positioning protrusion of the tail frame body are inserted into the card slot unit area of ​​the tail seat by pressing, so that the clip is correspondingly inserted into the vertical card slot, and the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning card slot.
