Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pump units, specifically a high-efficiency corrosion-resistant heat exchange tube structure for heat pump units. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchange tubes are an important component of heat pump units. They are one of the elements of a heat exchanger used for the exchange of heat between two media. They have high thermal conductivity and good isothermal properties. They are devices that can quickly transfer heat energy from one point to another with almost no heat loss. Therefore, they are called heat transfer superconductors. Their thermal conductivity is thousands of times that of copper. In order to better install and fix the heat exchange tubes, appropriate fixing structures are used for auxiliary installation and fixation.
[0003] The working process of the heat exchanger tubes in a ground source heat pump unit is as follows: In heating mode, a circulating water pump drives the circulating fluid (usually water or antifreeze) in the buried pipe (outdoor heat exchanger tube) to flow through the underground soil. The soil temperature is relatively stable and higher than the outdoor air temperature in winter. The circulating fluid exchanges heat with the soil through the outdoor heat exchanger tube, absorbing heat from the soil and increasing its temperature. The high-temperature circulating fluid returning from the outdoor heat exchanger tube enters the heat exchanger tube of the indoor heat exchanger. In the indoor heat exchanger, the circulating fluid transfers heat to the indoor air or water in the heating system through the heat exchanger tube, raising the indoor temperature and lowering the temperature of the circulating fluid itself. It then returns to the outdoor heat exchanger tube (buried pipe) to continue absorbing heat from the soil, forming a cycle.
[0004] Outdoor heat exchange pipes (buried pipes) are installed underground. Soil components with excessively high or low pH values or water quality can corrode the outer wall of the heat exchange pipes. Corrosion will make the outer wall of the heat exchange pipes rough, and over time, it will easily lead to leakage and damage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency corrosion-resistant heat exchange tube structure for heat pump units, so as to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a high-efficiency anti-corrosion heat exchanger tube structure for a heat pump unit is provided, including a heat exchanger tube body buried in the underground soil. An inner anti-corrosion barrier is provided on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body, and an outer anti-corrosion barrier is provided on the outer side of the inner anti-corrosion barrier. An isolation plate on the inner anti-corrosion barrier is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body, and a rear side is opened on the back of the isolation plate. A first heat exchange plate on the outer anti-corrosion barrier is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body, and a second heat exchange plate is provided on one side of the first heat exchange plate.
[0007] Preferably, the internal corrosion protection barrier includes isolation plates, a rear side surface, a heat exchange surface, and a buffer groove. Ten sets of isolation plates are evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body, and the distance between two adjacent sets of isolation plates is consistent.
[0008] Preferably, the ten sets of isolation plates are centrally symmetrical about the central axis of the heat exchange tube body, and the cross-section of the isolation plates is trapezoidal. The ten sets of isolation plates are combined together to form a second anti-corrosion mechanism covering the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body.
[0009] Preferably, each of the ten sets of isolation plates has a heat exchange surface, and the surface of the heat exchange surface has multiple sets of buffer grooves, with the distance between two adjacent sets of buffer grooves being the same, and the depth of the buffer groove being equal to half the height of the isolation plate.
[0010] Preferably, the external corrosion barrier includes a first heat exchange plate, a second heat exchange plate, an arc-shaped surface, and an installation area. The first and second heat exchange plates are evenly arranged in multiple groups, and an installation area is provided between the first and second heat exchange plates. The surfaces of both the first and second heat exchange plates are provided with arc-shaped surfaces.
[0011] Preferably, an isolation plate is fixedly installed inside the installation area. The first heat exchange plate and the second heat exchange plate are both arc-shaped structures made of stainless steel. The heat exchange tube body is buried in the underground soil and is supported and fixed by multiple sets of first heat exchange plates and second heat exchange plates.
[0012] Preferably, multiple sets of first heat exchange plates and second heat exchange plates are centrally symmetrically distributed along the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body, and multiple sets of first heat exchange plates and second heat exchange plates cover the outer side of the heat exchange tube body to form a first anti-corrosion mechanism.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, when the heat exchange tube body is buried in the underground soil, it is equipped with an inner anti-corrosion barrier and an outer anti-corrosion barrier. Ten sets of isolation plates are combined to form a second anti-corrosion mechanism covering the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body. Multiple sets of first and second heat exchange plates cover the outer side of the heat exchange tube body to form a first anti-corrosion mechanism. The first and second anti-corrosion mechanisms are layered and cover the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body, which can prevent corrosive soil and water in the ground from directly contacting the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body and causing corrosion, thereby improving the service life of the heat exchange tube body.
[0015] 2. This utility model uses multiple sets of first and second heat exchange plates on the outside of the heat exchange tube body buried in the soil. The multiple sets of arc-shaped heat exchange plates can significantly increase the contact area between the heat exchange tube and the soil, making heat transfer more complete. More soil area participates in heat exchange, which can absorb more heat from the soil and improve the heating effect. The arc-shaped heat exchange plates can enhance the overall structural strength of the heat exchange tube, making it more stable in the soil and better able to resist the effects of external forces such as soil pressure and geological movement, reducing the risk of heat exchange tube rupture and deformation.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a high-efficiency anti-corrosion heat exchanger tube structure for a heat pump unit, including a heat exchanger tube body 1, which is buried in the soil. An inner anti-corrosion barrier 2 is provided on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body 1, and an outer anti-corrosion barrier 3 is provided on the outer side of the inner anti-corrosion barrier 2. An isolation plate 21 on the inner anti-corrosion barrier 2 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body 1. A rear side 22 is opened on the back of the isolation plate 21. A first heat exchange plate 31 on the outer anti-corrosion barrier 3 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the heat exchanger tube body 1, and a second heat exchange plate 32 is provided on one side of the first heat exchange plate 31.
[0029] Working principle: In actual use, the heat exchange tube body 1 is buried in the soil underground. In winter, the circulating water pump drives the circulating fluid inside the heat exchange tube body 1 to flow in the underground soil. The soil temperature is relatively stable and higher than the outdoor air temperature in winter. The circulating fluid exchanges heat with the soil through the heat exchange tube body 1, absorbing heat from the soil and raising its temperature, thus laying the foundation for increasing the indoor temperature. When the heat exchange tube body 1 is buried in the underground soil, it is equipped with an inner anti-corrosion barrier 2 and an outer anti-corrosion barrier 3. Ten sets of isolation plates 21 are combined to form a second anti-corrosion mechanism covering the circular area of the heat exchange tube body 1. The outer periphery of the heat exchange tube body 1 is covered by multiple sets of first heat exchange fins 31 and second heat exchange fins 32, forming a first anti-corrosion mechanism. These first and second anti-corrosion mechanisms are layered and cover the outer periphery of the heat exchange tube body 1, preventing corrosive soil and water from directly contacting and corroding the outer periphery of the heat exchange tube body 1, thus improving its service life. To further improve the service life of the heat exchange tube body 1, the material of the heat exchange tube body 1 can preferably be stainless steel or a copper-nickel alloy. When the heat exchange tube body 1 is exchanging heat underground, the multiple sets of first heat exchange fins 31 and second heat exchange fins 32 on the outer periphery of the heat exchange tube body 1... Buried in the soil, multiple sets of arc-shaped heat exchange fins significantly increase the contact area between the heat exchange tubes and the soil, allowing for more efficient heat transfer. With more soil area participating in heat exchange, more heat can be absorbed from the soil, improving heating efficiency. The arc structure makes the heat conduction path between the soil and the heat exchange tubes more complex and tortuous, extending the heat transfer path and increasing the heat exchange time, which facilitates more efficient heat transfer from the soil to the medium inside the heat exchange tubes. The arc-shaped heat exchange fins enhance the overall structural strength of the heat exchange tubes, making them more stable in the soil and better able to resist external forces such as soil pressure and geological movements, reducing the risk of heat exchange tube rupture and deformation, and improving the overall system performance. This system improves reliability and service life; it distributes the pressure of the soil on the heat exchange tubes to each heat exchange plate, reducing stress concentration on the heat exchange tube body and preventing damage to the tubes due to excessive stress, thus ensuring long-term stable operation of the system; at the same time, multiple sets of isolation plates 21 are evenly arranged on the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body 1, and multiple sets of buffer grooves 24 are evenly opened on the surface of the isolation plates 21; the setting of multiple sets of buffer grooves 24 increases the contact area between the heat exchange tubes and the soil, allowing more soil to exchange heat with the heat exchange tubes, just like adding many tiny heat exchange tentacles, which can more fully absorb the heat in the soil, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heat pump unit.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the internal corrosion barrier 2 includes an isolation plate 21, a rear side surface 22, a heat exchange surface 23, and a buffer groove 24. The isolation plates 21 are evenly arranged in ten groups along the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body 1, and the distance between two adjacent groups of isolation plates 21 is consistent.
[0031] The ten sets of isolation plates 21 are centrally symmetrical about the central axis of the heat exchange tube body 1. The cross-section of the isolation plates 21 is trapezoidal. The ten sets of isolation plates 21 are combined together to form a second anti-corrosion mechanism covering the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body 1.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, each of the ten sets of isolation plates 21 has a heat exchange surface 23. The surface of the heat exchange surface 23 has multiple sets of buffer grooves 24, and the distance between two adjacent sets of buffer grooves 24 is the same. The depth of the buffer groove 24 is equal to half the height of the isolation plate 21.
[0033] The external anti-corrosion barrier 3 includes a first heat exchange plate 31, a second heat exchange plate 32, an arc-shaped surface 33, and an installation area 34. The first heat exchange plate 31 and the second heat exchange plate 32 are evenly arranged in multiple groups, and the installation area 34 is provided between the first heat exchange plate 31 and the second heat exchange plate 32. The surfaces of the first heat exchange plate 31 and the second heat exchange plate 32 are both provided with an arc-shaped surface 33.
[0034] An isolation plate 21 is fixedly installed inside the installation area 34. The first heat exchange plate 31 and the second heat exchange plate 32 are both arc-shaped structures made of stainless steel. The heat exchange tube body 1 is buried in the underground soil and is supported and fixed by multiple sets of first heat exchange plates 31 and second heat exchange plates 32.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of first heat exchange plates 31 and second heat exchange plates 32 are centrally symmetrically distributed along the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube body 1, and the multiple sets of first heat exchange plates 31 and second heat exchange plates 32 cover the outer side of the heat exchange tube body 1 to form a first anti-corrosion mechanism.
