[0037] Implementation Method 1
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment is an optional embodiment of the present application, which discloses a water supply device for cold areas, including a support rod 1, the support rod 1 is made of a rectangular tube, a round tube or other pipe materials, and a solar panel 7 and a support frame 18 are further provided on the top of the support rod 1, and the support frame 18 is connected to the solar panel 7 by connecting bolts; Figure 1 As shown, a certain inclination angle is maintained between the solar panel 7 and the support rod 1, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the solar panel 7.
[0039] The support rod 1 is a hollow structure, and a partition plate 8 is provided on the upper side of the cavity. The partition plate 8 divides the upper part of the cavity into an equipment room 9. A power supply module is placed in the equipment room 9. The power supply module includes a battery 6, a solar panel 7 and its auxiliary equipment. The connection line of the battery 6 passes through the support frame and is connected to the solar panel 7;
[0040] Furthermore, a water supply pipe and a heating module 5 are provided in the cavity below the partition plate 8, and a heating module 5 is also provided in the equipment chamber 9; the heating module 5 includes a thermostat 501 and a heater 502, wherein the heater 502 is preferably an electric heating sheet, an electric heating plate or an electric heating tape. The connecting cable of the heating module 5 passes through the partition plate 8 and is connected to the battery 6 to realize power supply;
[0041] At the same time, the cavity in the equipment room and the lower side of the partition plate 8 are filled with an insulation layer 4, preferably the insulation layer 4 is made of foamed polyurethane or rubber-plastic board, and the insulation layer 4 completely wraps the water supply pipe 2;
[0042] It should be noted that when the heating module 5 is working, it not only heats the area where the water supply pipe 2 is located, but also heats the battery 6 located in the equipment room 9, thereby ensuring the working temperature of the battery 6;
[0043] Further, refer to Figure 5 As another optional implementation of the present application, in areas where solar energy resources are scarce, the power supply module described in the present application includes a cable, which is directly connected to the mains network, eliminating the battery and supplying power to the heating module through the mains network to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0044] Furthermore, a sleeve 10 is provided in the support rod 1, one end of the sleeve 10 is located in the equipment room, and the other end thereof passes through the partition plate 8 and is inserted into the lower end of the support rod 1; the heating module 5 is provided in the sleeve 10;
[0045] The sleeve can separate the heating module from the insulation layer while ensuring heating efficiency, making it easy to inspect and repair the heating module; at the same time, it can prevent the heating module from directly contacting the insulation layer, thereby preventing the insulation layer from being damaged due to excessive temperature.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present application hides the external battery 6 inside the support rod 1 through the equipment chamber 9, which not only provides better protection for the battery 6, but also effectively ensures the operating temperature of the battery 6, ensures that the battery 6 can be charged and discharged more stably, and the storage capacity can also be effectively guaranteed, thereby extending the working time of the equipment and further improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0047] Furthermore, a plug-in tube 13 is provided on the upper portion of the support rod 1. The plug-in tube 13 is provided along the radial direction of the support rod 1 and is in communication with the support rod 1. The plug-in tube 13 is also plugged and connected to a thermal insulation tube 11. A plurality of connecting bolts are provided between the thermal insulation tube 11 and the support rod 1.
[0048] One end of the water supply pipe 2 passes through the support rod 1 and extends deep into the well, and the other end thereof is turned through an elbow and inserted into the insulation pipe 11; a control valve 3 is also provided in the insulation pipe 11, and the control valve 3 includes a valve body 301 and an adjusting wrench 302. The water inlet on the valve body 301 is connected to the water supply pipe 2, and the water outlet is connected to the outlet pipe 12, so that the on-off state of the water supply pipe 2 can be adjusted by the control valve 3; at the same time, the adjusting wrench 302 is connected to the valve body 301 through the insulation sleeve 303;
[0049] It should be noted that a protection pipe 14 is further provided on the insulation pipe 11 , and the protection pipe 14 is coaxially arranged with the water outlet pipe 12 ;
[0050] The valve body 301 and the adjusting wrench 302 are generally made of metal materials, which have a faster heat conduction speed. The heat insulation sleeve 303 can reduce the heat conduction between the two as much as possible, thereby improving the heat preservation capacity of the equipment and reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.
[0051] One end of the sleeve 10 extends through the plug tube 13 into the insulation tube 11, and the heater 502 also extends through the sleeve 10 into the insulation tube 11;
[0052] Further, refer to Figure 6 As another optional embodiment of the present application, the control valve can also be a solenoid valve 19, and corresponding electronic control components can be added;
[0053] The electromagnetic valve 19 is used to control the on-off state of the water supply pipe, which makes the control of the equipment more convenient and can also effectively avoid damage to the control valve due to human operation, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
[0054] Furthermore, the water supply device further includes a temperature sensor 17, the temperature sensor 17 is electrically connected to the thermostat 501, and the temperature sensor 17 is arranged in the support rod 1 or the insulation pipe 11. Preferably, the position of the temperature sensor is arranged in the same area as the control valve 3;
[0055] The user can set the temperature inside the support rod 1 through the thermostat, and detect the temperature inside the support rod 1 through the temperature sensor 17. When the detected temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating module 5 stops working, thereby reducing power consumption and ensuring that the equipment can operate stably within the set temperature range for a long time.
[0056] Practice has found that in the entire water supply device, the control valve is generally the lowest temperature zone. Therefore, by monitoring the temperature of this area, it is possible to ensure that the entire water supply device continues to operate at the verified temperature, thereby improving the targeted nature of temperature monitoring.
[0057] Furthermore, the adjusting wrench 302 can be provided on the end surface of the free end of the insulation tube 11 or in the radial direction of the insulation tube 11;
[0058] That is, when the adjusting wrench 302 is arranged on the end surface of the free end of the thermal insulation tube 11, the axis of the thermal insulation tube 11 coincides with the rotation axis of the adjusting wrench 302;
[0059] When the adjusting wrench 302 is arranged in the radial direction of the insulation pipe 11, the axis of the insulation pipe 11 and the rotation axis of the adjusting wrench 302 maintain an angle of 90°;
[0060] At the same time, a shielding cover 15 is provided on the insulation pipe 11, and the shielding cover 15 shields the adjusting wrench 302. A limiting groove 16 is also provided on the shielding cover 15, and the operating end of the adjusting wrench 302 extends out of the shielding cover 15 through the limiting groove 16;
[0061] The shielding cover 15 can provide a certain degree of protection for the adjusting wrench 302, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the adjusting wrench 302;
[0062] Secondly, the limiting groove can limit the rotation range of the adjusting wrench 302 to avoid excessive turning of the adjusting wrench 302 and thus causing damage to the adjusting wrench 302.
[0063] Furthermore, a tripod is connected to the bottom of the support rod 1 through a plurality of connecting bolts;
[0064] Since the structure of the support rod 1 is relatively simple, the tripod can provide more support points at the bottom of the support rod 1, thereby improving the connection strength and stability of the water supply device;
[0065] Compared with the prior art, the present application hides the battery inside the support rod by means of a built-in equipment chamber on the support rod. On the one hand, the above-mentioned method can provide better protection for the battery, avoid the adverse effects of the harsh plateau environment on the battery, and extend the service life of the battery; on the other hand, combined with the heating effect of the heating module, the battery in the equipment chamber can operate at a more stable temperature, that is, avoid the adverse effects of low temperatures in plateau areas on the battery storage capacity and working state, ensure that the battery can be charged and discharged more stably, and the storage capacity can also be effectively guaranteed, thereby extending the working time of the equipment and further improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation;
[0066] Secondly, through the above arrangement, there is no need to provide a battery mounting bracket or other structures on the support rod. At the same time, the support rod can also be designed as an integrated structure, which is conducive to improving the wind resistance of the equipment in plateau areas. At the same time, since the battery is hidden in the support rod, while increasing the weight of the support rod, compared with the traditional battery top-mounted structure, this application can effectively lower the center of gravity of the entire device, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire water supply device.
[0067] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
