Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heaters, in particular to a tube-in-tube type energy storage heater. Background Art
[0002] Existing tube-and-sheath energy storage heaters basically install the heating elements directly into the pipe, so as to use the heating elements inside the pipe to heat the medium flowing through the pipe. Some tube-and-sheath energy storage heaters also place the heating elements outside the pipe to transfer heat to the medium inside through the pipe wall. The existing tube-and-sheath energy storage heaters with heating elements placed inside the pipe have large heating element losses and short service life. The tube-and-sheath energy storage heaters with heating elements placed outside the pipe have low heating efficiency, and the medium located in the middle of the pipe is heated the slowest, while the medium located near the pipe wall is heated the fastest. Therefore, the existing tube-and-sheath energy storage heaters with external heating elements are prone to uneven heating of the medium in the pipe. Utility Model Content

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 The utility model proposes a tube-in-tube energy storage heater, comprising: a tube body 1 and a heating plate 2, wherein:
[0022] The inner circumferential wall of the tube body 1 features a radially inwardly projecting convex surface a1 and an outwardly projecting concave surface a2. Both convex surface a1 and concave surface a2 extend axially to ensure smooth flow of the medium within the tube and enhance uniform heating between the central and peripheral areas of the medium. Multiple convex surfaces a1 and concave surfaces a2 are provided, alternating along the circumference and interconnected. This concave-convex design effectively increases the contact area between the medium and the inner wall of the tube body 1.
[0023] The tube body 1 includes a tube body 11 and end tubes 12 at both ends connected to the two ends of the tube body 11. The tube body 11 is a regular polygonal structure, and each of its faces has a slot that is axially arranged and passes through both ends; the end tube 12 is a circular tube, and the outer diameter of the end tube 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting circle of the tube body 11, and the end tube 12 is coaxial with the tube body 11 to form a shoulder surface b at the connection between the end tube 12 and the tube body 11. The number of heating plates 2 is consistent with the number of side surfaces of the tube body 1, and each heating plate 2 is inserted into the slot one by one. This structural design not only facilitates the laying of the heating plates 2, but also increases the laying area of the heating plates 2, and the structure of the circular end tubes 12 is also convenient for connection with other pipelines.
[0024] Furthermore, the inner convex surface a1 in this embodiment includes a first inner convex surface and a second inner convex surface with a radially raised height lower than the first inner convex surface. Each second inner convex surface is positioned between adjacent first inner convex surfaces. This design of two different inner convex surfaces a1, each of which has a higher or lower height, enables radially layered heating of the medium within the tube, thereby further improving the uniformity of heating across the medium within the tube. Furthermore, this design of two different inner convex surfaces a1 increases the overall number of inner convex surfaces a1, thereby further increasing the surface area of the inner wall of the tube body 1.
[0025] Furthermore, this embodiment also has an insulation sleeve 3 on the outside of the tube body 11. The insulation sleeve 3 can not only prevent heat loss and enhance the effective utilization of heat, but also form protection on the outside of the heating plate 2 and radially constrain the heating plate 2 so that it is firmly attached to the side of the tube body 11.
[0026] Reference Figure 4-5In addition, the present invention proposes a pipe-sleeve type energy storage heater, which further includes a front mounting seat 4 and a rear mounting seat 5. The front mounting seat 4 and the rear mounting seat 5 are respectively fixed to the shoulder surfaces b at both ends of the pipe body 11 by fasteners. The front mounting seat 4 and the rear mounting seat 5 respectively abut against the two ends of the thermal insulation sleeve 3. The thermal insulation sleeve 3 is constrained by the front mounting seat 4 and the rear mounting seat 5 and cannot move axially, thereby maintaining its fixed position. When it is necessary to inspect the inner heating plate 2, only the mounting seat at one end needs to be removed, and the thermal insulation sleeve 3 can be directly pulled out to expose the heating plate 2.
[0027] In addition, a wiring slot c is provided on the front mounting seat 4 and / or the rear mounting seat 5, and the cables connected to each heating plate 2 pass through the wiring slot c to be constrained by the wiring slot c, ensuring that the cables are neat and orderly, thereby avoiding the problem of messy and cumbersome cables.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connection point between the fastener and the shoulder surface b is at the angle between two adjacent surfaces of the tube body 11. The radial dimension of the shoulder surface b at the edge of the tube body 11 is the largest. Setting the connection point at this position makes the connection most secure.
[0029] The specific mounting structure of the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 and the tube body 11 is as follows: the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 are both provided with a clearance hole and mounting holes circumferentially arranged around the clearance hole, the end tube 12 located at one end of the tube body 11 passes through the clearance hole on the front end mounting seat 4, and the end tube 12 located at the other end of the tube body 11 passes through the clearance hole on the rear end mounting seat 5, and each mounting hole on the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 are located at the angle between two adjacent surfaces of the tube body 11; each fastener passes through each mounting hole one by one to install the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 on the shoulder surface b at both ends of the tube body 11.
[0030] In this embodiment, the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 both include end faces and mounting surfaces perpendicular to the end faces. The end faces of the front end mounting seat 4 and the rear end mounting seat 5 are respectively abutted against the corresponding shoulder surfaces b, and assembly holes are provided on the mounting surfaces.
[0031] As can be seen from the above, the present invention sets the inner wall of the tube body 1 into a structure composed of an inner convex surface a1 and an inner concave surface a2, and makes the inner concave surface a2 and the inner convex surface a1 both axially extended structures to ensure the smooth flow of the medium in the tube, while increasing the contact area between the medium and the tube body 1, thereby increasing the heating efficiency. At the same time, the present invention also sets the tube body 1 into a structure composed of a tube body 11 and an end tube 12, and sets the tube body 11 into a regular polygon structure, and sets a slot on each of its faces, and inserts the heating plate 2 into the slot, so that a heating plate 2 is laid on each face of the tube body 11. The end tube 12 is set as a circular tube, the outer diameter of the end tube 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting circle of the tube body 11, and the end tube 12 is coaxial with the tube body 11 to form a shoulder surface b at the connection between the end tube 12 and the tube body 11. This structural design of the tube body 1 not only facilitates the laying of the heating plate 2, but also increases the laying area of the heating plate 2, and the structure of the circular end tube 12 is also convenient for connection with other pipelines. Therefore, the heating tube has the advantages that the medium in the tube is heated evenly and the heating plate 2 is easy to lay, repair and replace.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
