When an element is referred to as "on" or "below" another element, the element can be "directly" or "indirectly" above the other element, or there can be one or more intervening elements. The terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only for the convenience of describing the present technical solution, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, therefore, the features with "first", "second", "third" and the like can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more of the features. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, techniques, etc. are presented for the purpose of illustration, not for the purpose of limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed description of well-known systems, devices, circuits and methods is omitted to avoid unnecessary details that hinder the description of the present application.

[0027] Reference can be made to Figure 1 The present application constructs a heat insulation device 100, mainly including an outer sleeve 1 and an inner sleeve 2 arranged in the outer sleeve 1, the inner side of the inner sleeve 2 and the outer side of the outer sleeve 1 form a flow channel for fluid, and hot fluid and cold fluid can flow through the inner side of the inner sleeve 2 and the outer side of the outer sleeve 1 respectively.

[0028] As Figure 1As shown, the heat insulation device 100 also includes an isolation cavity 3 disposed between the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2, and at least one deformable tube 4 is provided on the sleeve closest to the hot fluid in the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2.

[0029] For ease of explanation, the sleeve closest to the hot fluid will be referred to as the preset sleeve. Understandably, since the deformable tube 4 can deform, when the preset sleeve undergoes thermal expansion, the deformable tube 4 can release thermal stress, reducing the probability of structural fatigue failure, and simultaneously compensating for thermal displacement in the deformable direction. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the deformable sleeve is disposed on the inner sleeve 2; therefore, the inner side of the inner sleeve 2 can be configured for the flow of hot fluid, and the outer side of the outer sleeve 1 for the flow of cold fluid.

[0030] The specific configuration of the heat insulation device 100 in some embodiments is described below.

[0031] The outer sleeve 1, as the load-bearing component of the entire heat insulation device 100, can be connected to other flow channels to receive hot / cold fluids. The outer sleeve 1 can be designed with a structural form matching the interface type of the external equipment; for example, when the interface type of the external equipment is internally threaded, the outer sleeve 1 can be designed with the same diameter and have external threads on its outer circumference. Alternatively, at least one connecting sleeve 5 with a structural strength greater than that of the outer sleeve 1 can be additionally provided. This connecting sleeve 5 is connected to the end of the outer sleeve 1 for connecting to a pre-defined flow channel; the connecting sleeve 5 can have a connecting structure such as threads for connecting to the pre-defined flow channel.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2 can be cylindrical. It can be understood that in the illustrated embodiment, the overall structure of the heat insulation device is a straight structure; however, the overall structure of the heat insulation device is not limited to this, and the overall structure of the heat insulation device can also be a curved structure, that is, a long strip structure with at least one curved part.

[0033] Secondly, the outer diameter of the inner sleeve 2 can be smaller than the inner diameter of the outer sleeve 1, and it is coaxially arranged with the outer sleeve 1 to form an annular isolation cavity 3.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 1 The isolation cavity 3 is equipped with a heat-insulating material 31, which is a material with a low thermal conductivity. In other embodiments, further reference may be made to... Figure 1 One of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2 is provided with an air extraction port 32 that communicates with the isolation chamber 3; by extracting air from the isolation chamber 3 through the air extraction port 32, a vacuum can be formed.

[0035] Understandably, the isolation chamber 3 may only be equipped with insulation material 31, or it may only be evacuated, or it may be equipped with both insulation material 31 and evacuated; no specific limitation is made here. By using insulation material 31 and / or evacuation to increase thermal resistance, heat transfer from the hot fluid to the cold fluid can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the insulation effect.

[0036] Secondly, to ensure the airtightness of the isolation cavity 3 and to facilitate the filling of the insulation material 31 into the isolation cavity 3, please refer to... Figure 1 The inner sleeve 2 may have a skirt 22 on its outer circumferential wall at one end. The skirt 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer sleeve 1, and the other end of the inner sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the outer sleeve 1 through a connecting sleeve 5. The fixed connection method may include welding, riveting, etc.

[0037] Understandably, when assembling this heat insulation device 100, one end of the inner sleeve 2 with the skirt portion 22 can be connected to one end of the outer sleeve 1 to form a semi-closed isolation cavity 3. Then, heat insulation material 31 can be filled into the isolation cavity 3. Finally, the other end of the inner sleeve 2 and the other end of the outer sleeve 1 can be connected via the connecting sleeve 5.

[0038] In some other embodiments, the skirt portion 22 may also be provided at the outer sleeve 1; or, both ends of the inner sleeve 2 and the outer sleeve 1 may be connected by the skirt portion 22; or, both ends of the inner sleeve 2 and the outer sleeve 1 may be connected by the connecting sleeve 5, without specific limitation.

[0039] Next, examine the structure of the pre-set sleeve and continue reading. Figure 1 The pre-set sleeve may include multiple cylindrical portions 21 arranged axially at intervals; the deformable tube 4 is connected between two adjacent cylindrical portions 21. It can be noted that the deformable tubes 4 connected at different positions may have different or the same length, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0040] Understandably, the deformable tube 4 is generally placed where the thermal displacement tendency of the preset sleeve is severe. For example, when the insulation device is U-shaped, the deformable tube 4 can be placed at the bend of the preset sleeve; when the preset sleeve is connected to other flow channels, the deformable tube 4 can be placed at the connection point between the preset sleeve and other flow channels. The thickness of the deformable tube 4 can be adjusted according to the corrosion of the fluid and the possible pressure conditions during its service life. Secondly, single-layer or multi-layer deformable tubes 4 can be arranged radially according to the number of fatigue cycles.

[0041] In some embodiments, the deformable tube 4 may be a bellows. Since the bellows can deform in the axial and / or radial directions, it can compensate for the thermal displacement of the preset sleeve in the axial and / or radial directions. In other embodiments, the deformable tube 4 may also be a sleeve compensator.

[0042] Reference can be made to Figure 2 The corrugated pipe is provided with two opposite straight tube ends 41 and a plurality of wave crests 42 between the two straight tube ends 41. The number of wave crests 42 on the corrugated pipe can be adjusted according to the temperature difference of the fluid inside and outside, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0043] In order to realize the compact structure, as shown in Figure 2 two annular grooves 211 can be arranged on the circumferential outer walls of the two adjacent cylindrical portions 21 respectively, and the two straight tube ends 41 of the corrugated pipe are embedded in the two annular grooves 211 and fixedly connected; the fixed connection can be welding, riveting, etc. For example, the straight tube end 41 of the corrugated pipe can be sleeved on the annular groove 211 of the cylindrical portion 21 and welded on the cylindrical portion 21.

[0044] Optionally, the material of at least one of the outer sleeve 1, the inner sleeve 2, the connecting sleeve 5 and the corrugated pipe can be stainless steel or carbon steel. In some embodiments, the materials of the outer sleeve 1, the inner sleeve 2, the connecting sleeve 5 and the corrugated pipe are all stainless steel or carbon steel.

[0045] In summary, the heat insulation device 100 of the present application can be used for heat insulation of cold and hot fluids, wherein the device is simple to manufacture and install, compact in structure, has good heat insulation capacity, and can effectively release thermal stress and thermal expansion.

[0046] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, which are described in detail and specifically, but should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present application, and some modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent transformation and modification within the scope of the claims of the present application should belong to the scope of the claims of the present application.
