Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline connection, and particularly relates to a pipeline connection assembly for a motor water tank. Background Art
[0002] The motor water tank is a crucial component of the motor water cooling system. Its primary function is to store coolant and dissipate heat into the surrounding air through heat sinks. It consists of the tank itself, a cooling fan, a radiator, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a water pump. The cooling tank operates by pumping water into a cooler, which circulates the water to various devices, maintaining a normal temperature and achieving optimal cooling.
[0003] In a factory, multiple devices usually work at the same time. In order to ensure the water supply effect of the motor water tank, multiple motor water tanks are connected to the water pipeline on the top of the factory respectively. Generally, welded pipes are used for hard connection. However, due to the influence of working space and installation position, the connection ports of multiple motor water tanks are often located at different height planes. As a result, the connection between each motor water tank and the water pipeline needs to change the length of the water pipe in a targeted manner, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost. The length adjustment of the water pipe requires workers to take data on site before installation, which prolongs the overall installation time and causes the working cycle of the motor water tank to be too long.

[0044] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features being referenced. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Furthermore, "plurality" and "several" mean two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0045] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 The motor water tank pipe connection assembly provided by the present invention will now be described. The motor water tank pipe connection assembly comprises a rigid pipe body 1, a flexible hose 2, and a transfer pipe 3. The rigid pipe body 1 is vertically arranged; the flexible hose 2 is positioned above the rigid pipe body 1, with one end connected to the water supply pipeline 6 and the other end connected to the top of the rigid pipe body 1. The transfer pipe 3 has one end connected to the bottom of the rigid pipe body 1 and the other end connected to the motor water tank 7.
[0046] It should be noted that the water supply pipeline 6 is arranged above the motor water tank 7. In order to facilitate the water use of the factory, laying the water supply pipeline 6 on the top of the factory is an existing technology.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the motor water tank pipe connection assembly provided in this embodiment has a rigid pipe body 1 and a hose 2 arranged between the water supply pipeline 6 and the motor water tank 7. The rigid pipe body 1 is connected to the motor water tank 7 through a transfer pipe 3, serving as a rigid support structure for the water supply pipeline 6. The hose 2 is connected between the water supply pipeline 6 and the rigid pipe body 1 as height compensation to avoid the situation where multiple motor water tanks 7 have different heights, resulting in a customized pipe body being connected above the rigid pipe body 1. The hose 2 can flexibly adjust its own length, reducing the processing of pipes and reducing manufacturing costs. The hose 2 is bent so that its two ends are directly connected to the rigid pipe body 1 and the water supply pipeline 6, reducing the difficulty of installation and improving the overall installation efficiency.
[0048] In some embodiments, the hose 2 is a pressure-resistant metal hose. The metal hose has a certain strength and can be bent freely. The metal hose has low installation stress and will not produce cold correction, which can ensure the safe operation of the pipeline assembly. The metal hose is highly flexible and can absorb vibrations, reducing fatigue of the pipeline assembly and extending the overall service life.
[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The adapter tube 3 comprises a vertical section 31, a transition section 32, and a horizontal section 33, which are connected in sequence. The top opening of the vertical section 31 connects to the bottom opening of the rigid tube body 1. The opening of the horizontal section 33, remote from the transition section 32, connects to the opening of the motor water tank 7. The transition section 32 is a curved tube. The adapter tube 3 is divided into three parts, each serving different functions. The vertical section 31 connects to the rigid tube body 1, the horizontal section 33 connects to the motor water tank 7, and the transition section 32 connects the vertical section 31 and the horizontal section 33, reducing water flow resistance, reducing the resistance encountered when the water changes direction, and reducing the impact force on the horizontal section 33, thereby extending its service life.
[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 Horizontal section 33 defines a drain outlet equipped with an on-off valve 34. Horizontal section 33 is located at the lowest end of the pipe connection assembly. The drain outlet facilitates and accelerates the drainage of motor water tank 7. On-off valve 34 controls whether the drain outlet is connected to or isolated from the outside world, ensuring that it does not leak during use.
[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A docking assembly 4 is provided between the hose 2 and the rigid tube body 1. The docking assembly 4 includes a first pair of joints 41, a second pair of joints 42, and a sleeve 43. The first pair of joints 41 is provided at the bottom of the hose 2. An annular first fixing groove 411 is defined on the outer periphery of the first pair of joints 41. The second pair of joints 42 is provided at the top of the rigid tube body 1. The second pair of joints 42 and the first pair of joints 41 are docked vertically with each other, and an annular second fixing groove 421 is defined on the outer periphery of the second pair of joints 42. The sleeve 43 is sleeved over the outer peripheries of the first and second pair of joints 41, 42. A first protrusion 431 and a second protrusion 432 are formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 43. The first protrusion 431 engages with the first fixing groove 411, and the second protrusion 432 engages with the second fixing groove 421.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42 are respectively arranged on the hose 2 and the rigid tube body 1 to realize the connection and fixation of the hose and the rigid tube. After the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42 are connected, the sleeve 43 is sleeved on the outer periphery to circumferentially limit the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42, and the first protrusion 431 and the first fixing groove 411 are snap-fitted, and the second protrusion 432 and the second fixing groove 421 are snap-fitted, which axially limits the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42, so that the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42 always remain relatively fixed, thereby improving the connection strength of the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42 and increasing the sealing performance.
[0053] As an embodiment of the sleeve 43, the sleeve 43 includes two semicircular arc plates, which are buckled together to form the sleeve. Bolts are set on the buckling edges of the arc plates, and the two arc plates are fixed together by the bolts to assemble into the sleeve 43.
[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The bottom of the first pair of joints 41 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 412 arranged around its own axis. The top of the second pair of joints 42 forms limiting grooves 422 corresponding to the limiting protrusions 412. The limiting protrusions 412 and the corresponding limiting grooves 422 are plugged into each other vertically. The arrangement of the limiting protrusions 412 and the limiting grooves 422 ensures that the first and second pairs of joints 41, 42 are circumferentially limited, preventing relative sliding between the first and second pairs of joints 41, 42, thereby improving connection stability.
[0055] As another docking method between the first pair of joints 41 and the second pair of joints 42, a plurality of triangular teeth are provided on the end face of the first pair of joints 41, and a plurality of triangular teeth are also provided on the cross section of the second pair of joints 42, and the triangular teeth on the second pair of joints 42 are staggered with the triangular teeth on the first pair of joints 41.
[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A connecting tube 44 is provided on the side of the first pair of connectors 41 near the hose 2. The end of the hose 2 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the connecting tube 44, and the hose 2 and the connecting tube 44 are welded and fixed. The connecting tube 44 is inserted into the hose 2 to connect the hose 2 and the first pair of connectors 41. After welding, the connection strength and sealing of the connecting tube 44 and the hose 2 are enhanced, preventing water from overflowing from the gap between the hose 2 and the connecting tube 44 during use.
[0057] Specifically, the second pair of joints 42 and the rigid pipe body 1 are also fixed by welding.
[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The end of the hose 2 away from the rigid pipe body 1 is provided with a connector 21, which is used to connect to the water pipeline 6. The connector 21 is connected to the water pipeline 6 to ensure that the hose 2 and the water pipeline 6 maintain a relatively fixed state.
[0059] In specific implementation, a connecting plate is provided on the outer periphery of the end surface of the connector 21, and a mounting hole is provided on the connecting plate. Bolts are passed through the mounting holes to fix the connecting plate on the side wall of the water pipeline 6, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation.
[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 4A sealing assembly 5 is provided between the rigid tube body 1 and the adapter tube 3. The sealing assembly 5 includes a first sealing ring 51, a second sealing ring 52, and a plurality of fasteners 53. The first sealing ring 51 is fixed to the bottom periphery of the rigid tube body 1, and a plurality of first mounting holes are defined on the annular surface of the first sealing ring 51. The second sealing ring 52 is fixed to the top periphery of the adapter tube 3 in correspondence with the first sealing ring 51, and a plurality of second mounting holes are defined on the annular surface of the second sealing ring 52 in correspondence with the plurality of first mounting holes. The plurality of fasteners 53 correspond to the first mounting holes one by one, and the fasteners 53 sequentially pass through the first mounting holes and the corresponding second mounting holes to ensure that the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52 are in close contact.
[0061] In a specific implementation, the first sealing ring 51 and the rigid tube body 1 are integrally cast, and the second sealing ring 52 and the transfer tube 3 are integrally cast.
[0062] Specifically, the fastener 53 is a bolt with a nut. The bolt body passes through the first mounting hole and the corresponding second mounting hole, and cooperates with the nut thread. The first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52 are clamped by the nut and the nut, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the transfer tube 3 and the rigid tube body 1.
[0063] The sealing assembly 5 has a simple structure. By connecting the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52, a fixed connection between the rigid tube body 1 and the adapter tube 3 is achieved. The fastener 53 passes through the first mounting hole and the corresponding second mounting hole in sequence. The operation is easy, and the rigid connection structure has high strength, ensuring structural strength.
[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 A sealing ring 54 is further provided between the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52. The sealing ring 54 can further enhance the sealing performance between the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52.
[0065] In specific implementation, an upper groove is set on the lower end surface of the first sealing ring 51, and a lower groove is correspondingly set on the upper end surface of the second sealing ring 52. The upper and lower grooves are enclosed up and down to form an annular sealing space, and the sealing ring 54 is placed in the sealing space.
[0066] Optionally, the sealing ring 54 may be a rubber sealing ring or a rubber sealing gasket, as long as it can fill the sealing space and improve the sealing performance of the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52. They will not be listed here one by one.
[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
