[0033] This application discloses a heating device for the drain pipe of a low-temperature freezer, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a conveying pipe 1, and a heating wire 2 and a spare heating wire 3 are respectively installed inside the conveying pipe 1. A support beam 111 is installed on the inner top wall of the conveying pipe 1, and a fixing clamp 101 is installed on the support beam 111. The heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 pass through the fixing clamp 101.
[0034] A frame 4 is fitted onto the conveying pipe 1. There are three or more frames 4, which are arranged in pairs. A corrugated pipe 5 is provided between each pair of frames 4. A cavity 41 is opened inside the frame 4, and an opening 6 is provided at the top of the frame 4. A cover plate 7 is hinged to the opening 6. A sealing strip is provided on the inner edge of the cover plate 7, and a label 71 is marked on the cover plate 7. A sealing strip is provided on the inner side of the cover plate to ensure good sealing performance. The label 71 on the cover plate provides equipment information. The inner edge of the opening 6 is composed of at least two annular steps of different diameters, and the opening 6 is used to connect an external heat pipe to realize the transfer of heat energy and the stability of the structure.
[0035] In this application, the delivery pipe 1 is used to guide the drainage in the low-temperature freezer. The heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 are used to prevent the drainage inside the delivery pipe from freezing and to maintain the heating function, thereby ensuring that the delivery pipe will not be blocked due to freezing. The support beam 111 is set on the inner top wall of the delivery pipe 1, and the heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 are supported and fixed by the fixing clamp 101 to ensure their correct position inside the delivery pipe 1.
[0036] Frames 4 are fitted around the outside of the delivery pipe 1, and are arranged in pairs. They can move on the delivery pipe 1. The cavities 41 inside the frames 4 are designed to accommodate thermal expansion and also provide space for heat transfer. Corrugated pipes 5 provide flexible connections between the frames 4, allowing the distance between them to be covered and the heat delivered to the frames 4 to be transferred between them through the corrugated pipes, thus thawing the ice surface in this area. Openings 6 at the top of the frames 4 are designed for connecting external heat pipes, allowing for quick access to external heat sources when needed. The inner edge of the openings 6 has at least two annular steps of different diameters, which helps ensure the stability and sealing of the connection.
[0037] Both heating wire 2 and spare heating wire 3 are U-shaped, which helps to maximize the contact area between the heating element and the inner wall of the delivery tube 1, thereby improving heating efficiency. Heating wire 2 is located at the upper middle end of the delivery tube 1, and spare heating wire 3 is located at the lower end of the delivery tube 1. The tail ends of heating wire 2 and spare heating wire 3 pass through and extend to the outside of the delivery tube 1, and are connected to an external power source through their respective plugs and charging cables, allowing the heating wires to be easily connected to an external power source.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support beam 111 is arc-shaped and fits against the inner top wall of the conveying pipe 1. There are three or more support beams 111, which are arranged at equal intervals on the inner top wall of the conveying pipe 1. The support beams 111 are fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 1 by air nails. In this application, the support beam 111 is arc-shaped. This shape helps to fit better against the inner top wall of the conveying pipe 1, thereby providing uniform support force. The arrangement of three or more support beams 111 at equal intervals on the inner top wall of the conveying pipe 1 can ensure that the heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 are evenly distributed in the conveying pipe, providing a uniform heating effect.
[0039] The fixing clamp 101 includes a support rod 8, a sleeve rod 9, and an inner liner plate 10. The top end of the support rod 8 is connected to the support beam 111. The sleeve rod 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 8 away from the support beam 111. The sleeve rod 9 is arranged in a U-shape, and both the heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 pass through the center of the sleeve rod 9. The inner liner plate 10 is embedded in the inner side of the sleeve rod 9. A threaded hole 1110 is opened at the bottom of the support beam 111. A connector 81 is fitted onto the top end of the support rod 8. The outer side of the connector 81 is threaded. The support rod 8 is connected to the thread on the support beam 111 through the connector 81. The hole 1110 is threaded. In this application, the top end of the support rod 8 is connected to the support beam 111. This connection method can ensure the stable positioning of the fixing clamp 101 in the conveying pipe 1. The sleeve rod 9 is arranged in a U-shape. The heating wire 2 and the spare heating wire 3 both pass through the center of the sleeve rod 9. This arrangement can ensure that the heating wire is centrally arranged in the conveying pipe 1, improving heating efficiency. The inner liner plate 10 is embedded in the inner side of the sleeve rod 9. This arrangement can provide additional support and protection to prevent the heating wire from shifting or vibrating in the conveying pipe 1. The inner liner plate also serves as heat insulation.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 A slide bar 401 is provided on the inner edge of the frame 4 near the conveying pipe 1, and a hole 402 is provided between the frame 4 and the slide bar 401. In this application, the slide bar 401 is provided on the inner edge of the frame 4 near the conveying pipe 1. This arrangement can ensure that the frame 4 moves smoothly on the conveying pipe 1, which is convenient for installation and adjustment. The hole 402 is provided between the frame 4 and the slide bar 401. These holes are used to fix or adjust the position of the frame 4, and also for heat dissipation, thereby improving the working efficiency of the heating equipment.
[0041] In use, the heating device for the drain pipe of the low-temperature freezer ensures comprehensive heating coverage by installing U-shaped heating wires 2 and spare heating wires 3 inside the conveying pipe 1, located at the upper and lower ends of the conveying pipe, respectively. These heating wires are fixed to equally spaced arc-shaped support beams 111 by fixing clamps 101, and the support beams 111 are fixedly connected to the conveying pipe by air nails, ensuring the stability of the structure. Multiple frames 4 are fitted outside the conveying pipe and connected by corrugated pipes 5, providing additional support and, through cavities 41 and openings 6, allowing for external connection of heat pipes to achieve effective heat transfer. The sliding bar 401 and hole 402 of frame 4 enable the frame to move smoothly and be fixed in place. A corrugated pipe 5 is provided between frames 4 to provide a communication channel, allowing frame 4 to move to the icy surface on the outer wall of conveying pipe 1. Hot air is supplied into frame 4 through the opening 6 at the top of the frame, which quickly melts the icy surface. The system is closed by a hinged cover plate 7, and the sealing strip on the inner side of the cover plate ensures good sealing and prevents heat loss. The entire system is connected to an external power source through the tail end of the heating wire and the spare heating wire, ensuring that the drain pipe 1 will not freeze in low-temperature environments, while optimizing the installation and maintenance process of the equipment.
