Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar energy collector accessories, more particularly, the utility model relates to an automatic sealing and connecting device for a solar vacuum explosion-proof pipe. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solar vacuum tubes have been developed in China for more than thirty years. Single-group water heaters and commercial multi-group collector boxes made of solar vacuum tubes have been widely used in China, bringing great convenience to people's life and commercial hot water, and making great contribution to energy saving and emission reduction in China. The composition of a solar collector includes multiple pipes and one pipe. The multiple solar vacuum tubes are connected in pairs and in parallel to form a collector box, and the connection is sealed by a ring-shaped sealing ring. The operating principle of the solar collector is that the double-layer glass tube is evacuated in the middle, the inner glass is coated with a metal film heat-absorbing layer, and the outer layer is transparent and transmits light. The heat-absorbing layer transports heat to the heat storage tank through the collector. There is a system defect in the entire solar collector system structure that has not been solved so far, which is the leakage of heat transfer medium after the solar vacuum tube explosion. The reasons for the leakage of heat transfer medium include the impact of cold heat transfer medium and hot solar vacuum tube, self-explosion of the solar vacuum tube, external force, and freezing explosion of the heat transfer medium in the system in winter. This leads to the loss of the heat transfer medium in the solar collector system and the inability to continue using it. Especially in the winter, it is difficult to repair and causes great peripheral loss and cannot be used. This causes great inconvenience to users. Some accessories that prevent the leakage of heat transfer medium from the collector box of the solar collector when the solar vacuum tube breaks have appeared in the market. The common leak-proof joint is usually installed at the end of the solar vacuum tube inside, but it cannot be used for all solar vacuum tubes. Currently, the leak-proof joint needs to be used with a specific medium outlet and solar vacuum tube. This design makes many types of solar collectors incompatible. At the same time, it is difficult to find suitable replacement accessories once one end of the solar vacuum tube is damaged. The existing products on the market have complex structures, high costs, difficult installation, short service life, easy failure, and are not easy to maintain.

[0003] To solve this problem, we have designed an automatic sealing device to prevent the leakage of heat transfer medium from the collector box of the solar collector when the solar vacuum tube explodes. After improvement, not only can it greatly reduce the problem of leakage of heat transfer medium caused by damage to the solar vacuum tube, but also can reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost of users, especially in extremely cold environments in winter. The use of the utility model can improve user experience and product competitiveness. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model will be further described in combination with the drawings as follows:

[0025] The utility model discloses the following implementation: the heat conducting medium system in the header of solar collector is balanced when the header is normally operated, and the heat conducting medium passes through the upper constant-pressure channel 13, enters the solar vacuum tube 4 to exchange heat from the constant-pressure channel notch 32 of the bevel gear sealing petal 3, at this time, the heat conducting medium in the solar vacuum tube 4 has a small self-circulation flow, the bevel gear sealing petal 3 is in a natural umbrella arc shape, when the cold heat conducting medium and the hot solar vacuum tube 4 are impacted, the solar vacuum tube 4 itself is exploded, external force, the heat conducting medium in the system is frozen and exploded in winter, etc., the solar vacuum tube 4 in the connecting structure support 1 is damaged, which can cause the pressure loss of the circulating system of the solar collector, and after the pressure loss, the high-flow heat conducting medium fluid can enter the upper end of the connecting structure support 1 from the upper pressure loss channel 14, so as to push the upper surface of the bevel gear sealing petal 3 with a large stress area to displace downward, because the bevel gear sealing petal 3 is made of a flexible material, the bevel gear sealing petal 3 moves downward to the lower sealing ring 12 under the pressure, until it is closed and does not leak water, the bevel gear sealing petal 3 is in an umbrella arc shape due to its initial structure, and is deformed into a flat type after being sealed under stress, the stress of the deformed bevel gear sealing petal 3 and the buoyancy of the counterweight are stored at any time, and when a new solar vacuum tube 4 is inserted into the lower sleeve 11, a certain force is applied to complete the conduction and pressure balance operation.
