Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air energy systems, in particular to an easy-to-connect intelligent pump and valve thermal insulation integrated pipe. Background Art

[0002] Air energy refers to the low-grade thermal energy contained in air. However, according to the second law of thermodynamics, heat cannot be transferred from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source without causing other changes. Therefore, air cannot be used without consuming external energy. Heat pumps can absorb heat from the air and transfer it to a high-temperature object or environment. This technology is called an air-source heat pump. The use of heat pumps requires electricity or thermal energy. For example, when a home air conditioner is used for winter heating, it is a typical air-source heat pump. However, if no electricity or heat is supplied, the air conditioner will not generate heat. Therefore, air-source heat pumps are not driven by air energy, but by electricity or thermal energy. Air-source heat pumps can be used in a variety of applications, including heating, heating, and drying.

[0003] I have previously applied for a utility model patent with application number 202422515259.1, and the name of the invention is a utility model patent for an intelligent variable frequency circulation and liquid replenishment multifunctional pump. When installing the intelligent variable frequency circulation pump mentioned in the above patent in the air energy pipeline system, I found that the existing pipeline system cannot cooperate well to achieve the installation, and in actual use, the existing pipeline cannot complete the insulation treatment of the hot water inside the water pipe well, resulting in a large part of heat energy loss in the process of transporting hot water, which will cause great energy waste and needs to be improved.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Specific implementation plan: see Figure 1-Figure 7 The utility model is an easy-to-connect intelligent pump and valve insulation integrated pipe, which is installed in an air energy piping system. The air energy piping system is provided with multiple functional components, including an air energy heat pump 1, a buffer water tank 9, and an intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7. The insulation integrated pipe is installed between adjacent functional components and includes:

[0034] An inner tube 2, with hot water flowing inside, and an end portion of the inner tube 2 is provided with a quick-connect cap 10 for connecting to an intelligent deformation circulation pump, an air-energy heat pump 1, a buffer water tank 9 or an external pipeline;

[0035] The thermal insulation layer 3 is wrapped around at least a portion of the inner tube 2;

[0036] The outer tube 4 is sleeved on the outside of the thermal insulation layer 3 , and an outer surface of the outer tube 4 is provided with a radiation-proof coating 41 .

[0037] Here, by providing an anti-radiation coating 41 on the outer surface of the outer tube 4, the propagation of radiation can be reduced or blocked by absorbing, scattering or reflecting radiation energy, thereby protecting personnel and equipment from radiation damage.

[0038] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the thermal insulation integrated pipe also includes a plurality of arc elbow pipes 5, which are arranged at the bending portion of the inner pipe 2 and arranged outside the bending portion.

[0039] Note that the circular arc elbow pipe 5 is also a special outer pipe 4. Between the circular arc elbow pipe 5 and the inner pipe 2, you can choose whether to install the insulation layer 3 according to your needs.

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing an insulation layer 3 on the outside of the inner tube 2 connecting adjacent functional parts, the heat energy loss of the hot water flowing in the inner tube 2 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat energy. The air-source heat pump 1 consumes less electrical energy or heat energy to complete energy replenishment.

[0041] Then, see Figure 1-Figure 3 It can be seen that in this embodiment, a plurality of equal-diameter ball valves 6 are provided on the extension path of the thermal insulation integrated pipe, and the equal-diameter ball valves 6 are provided on the inner pipe 2.

[0042] Next, in this embodiment, equal-diameter ball valves 6 are provided on the insulated integrated pipe between the intelligent variable-frequency circulation pump 7 and the air-energy heat pump 1, on the insulated integrated pipe between the intelligent variable-frequency circulation pump 7 and the buffer water tank 9, and on the insulated integrated pipe between the buffer water tank 9 and the external pipeline.

[0043] The equal-diameter ball valve 6 has the characteristics of small fluid resistance, smooth operation, and good sealing. By arranging the equal-diameter ball valve 6 on the thermal insulation integrated pipe, the hot water flow in the inner pipe 2 can be adjusted as needed.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air energy heat pump 1 has a water inlet and a water outlet, and the buffer water tank 9 is also provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The inner tube 2 is installed on the water inlet and the water outlet of the air energy heat pump 1 and the buffer water tank 9 through a quick and easy-connect cap 10, which is easy to install.

[0045] The air energy heat pump 1 in the air duct system serves as a source of heat energy. When hot water with a lower temperature flows into the air energy heat pump 1, the air energy heat pump 1 absorbs heat from the air and drives the compressor and refrigerant circulation through electric energy to convert the absorbed heat into high-temperature thermal energy, heating the low-temperature hot water to high-temperature hot water for heating, drying and other purposes.

[0046] The operating principle of the intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7 has been described in detail in my previous patent and will not be elaborated on here. The intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7 primarily uses the pressure in the inner tube 2 to continuously input liquid from the rehydration pot into the pump body, thereby balancing the pressure within the air energy piping system and ensuring internal pressure stability.

[0047] In this embodiment, the intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7 has a water inlet and a water outlet. The end of the inner tube 2 is installed on the water inlet and the water outlet through a quick-connect cap 10, so that the intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7 can be connected to the air energy pipeline system, which is easy to install.

[0048] In this embodiment, the insulation layer 3 is made of polyurethane foam, and the inner tube 2 is made of stainless steel. Polyurethane foam has excellent thermal insulation, workability, heat insulation and adhesion, and can be used as the insulation layer 3 to achieve a good thermal insulation effect.

[0049] More specifically, an outer shell 8 is provided on the outside of the intelligent variable frequency circulation pump 7 , and the end of the outer tube 4 is inserted into the outer shell 8 .

[0050] The above description of the easy-to-connect intelligent pump and valve insulation integrated pipe of the present invention is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
