Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water pipe antifreeze protection technology, and specifically relates to a tap water pipe antifreeze protector. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of specialized equipment, water pipe antifreeze protectors are designed to prevent water pipes from freezing in low-temperature environments. Their core function is to maintain the temperature of the water inside the pipe above the freezing point, thereby avoiding adverse conditions such as pipe rupture caused by the expansion of water when it freezes.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219863090U discloses an anti-freezing mechanism for rural water supply pipes above ground. The mechanism includes the water supply pipe itself, with an upper anti-freezing shell on one side above the pipe. An mounting groove is provided on the outer surface of the upper anti-freezing shell, within which a solar panel is securely mounted using fixing pins. A lower anti-freezing shell is located on one side below the pipe. Both the upper and lower anti-freezing shells are semi-circular in shape, with extended shells connecting their edges. This invention achieves anti-freezing by installing upper and lower anti-freezing heating plates on the upper and lower anti-freezing shells and the sides of the water supply pipe, respectively, and utilizing solar panels for energy charging. This is effective in preventing water pipes from freezing and causing blockages due to frozen tap water, thus improving the stability of the water supply for users.

[0004] However, the device has limitations in practical applications. Its anti-freeze mode, which uses photovoltaic panels in conjunction with electric heating plates, results in high overall costs due to the installation of these panels and requires complex wiring. This is unreasonable for large-scale application and is economically unsustainable. Furthermore, the device uses bolted connections during installation, making disassembly and installation cumbersome and inconvenient. Given the numerous inconveniences of the existing technology in application, optimization and improvement are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water pipe antifreeze protector to solve the problems of high cost and difficulty in quick disassembly and assembly during the application of the existing technology.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] The water pipe antifreeze protector includes a first protective shell and a second protective shell. The first protective shell is disposed on top of the second protective shell. The back of the first protective shell is hinged with hinge seats at equal intervals. The bottom of the hinge seats is hinged to the second protective shell. Both ends of the front of the first protective shell are fixedly installed with snap-fit ​​mechanisms. The first and second protective shells are snapped together by the snap-fit ​​mechanisms. Both the first and second protective shells are composed of a heat storage and heat insulation composite layer.

[0008] The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a sleeve and a snap-fit ​​component. The sleeve is fixedly installed on both ends of the front of the first protective shell, and the snap-fit ​​component is fixedly connected to both ends of the front of the second protective shell. An elastic limiting group is fixedly connected inside the sleeve, and the elastic limiting group and the snap-fit ​​component are snap-fitted together.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the elastic limiting assembly includes a torsion spring, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the sleeve. A circular block is fixedly connected to the front end of the torsion spring, and the circular block is rotatably connected to the front end of the sleeve. A limiting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular block, and the end of the limiting rod is inserted into the inside of the clamp.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, an adjustment shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the two circular blocks that are close to each other, and both the first protective shell and the second protective shell are arranged in an arc shape.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the clip includes a column, which is fixedly installed at both ends of the front of the second protective shell. An arc-shaped tube is fixedly installed at the front end of the column, and an arc-shaped through hole is opened inside the arc-shaped tube. The lower end of the limiting rod is arc-shaped and inserted into the arc-shaped through hole. The arc-shaped through hole and the arc-shaped lower end of the limiting rod are both concentric with the torsion spring.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the heat storage and insulation composite layer includes a heat absorption and heat conduction layer, which is disposed on the outermost layer of the first protective shell and the second protective shell. An outer insulation layer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat absorption and heat conduction layer, a heat storage and insulation layer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer insulation layer, and an elastic heat conduction layer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat storage and insulation layer.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer is a black polytetrafluoroethylene layer, and the outer insulation layer is an aerogel outer layer.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the heat storage and insulation layer is a foam glass insulation material layer, and the elastic thermal conductive layer is a silicone insulation conductor containing alumina.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0016] First, this device uses an external black polytetrafluoroethylene heat-absorbing and conducting layer. During the day, it can efficiently absorb solar heat and conduct it to the aerogel outer insulation layer. The heat then slowly penetrates into the foam glass heat storage layer for storage. At night, the aerogel outer insulation layer keeps the water warm, and the heat absorbed by the aerogel and foam glass layers is radiated to the water pipes through the elastic heat-conducting layer (alumina-containing silicone insulation conductor), ensuring that the water pipe temperature is above freezing point and effectively preventing freezing. The elasticity of the elastic heat-conducting layer can also fit the water pipes tightly, improving the insulation effect. Moreover, this device does not require wires or complex electrical structures, reducing the cost of use and making it highly valuable for promotion.

[0017] Secondly, this device employs a snap-fit ​​mechanism, allowing the first and second protective shells to be flipped over and cover the water pipe via hinges during installation. Twisting the adjusting shaft causes the circular block to rotate, separating the limiting rod from the arc-shaped tube. After the protective shell closes, the adjusting shaft is released, and the torsion spring returns to its original position, allowing the limiting rod to insert into the arc-shaped tube to complete the snap-fit ​​and secure installation. To remove the device, simply push the adjusting shaft to disengage the limiting rod from the arc-shaped tube, allowing for quick removal of the protective shell. This design significantly improves the efficiency of device installation and application, bringing great convenience to users. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example

[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 6 The water pipe antifreeze protector of this embodiment includes a first protective shell 1 and a second protective shell 3. The first protective shell 1 is disposed on the top of the second protective shell 3. The back of the first protective shell 1 is hinged with hinge seats 4 at equal intervals. The bottom of the hinge seats 4 is hinged to the second protective shell 3. Both ends of the front of the first protective shell 1 are fixedly installed with snap-fit ​​mechanisms 5. The first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are snapped together by the snap-fit ​​mechanisms 5. Both the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are composed of a heat storage and heat insulation composite layer 2.

[0027] The snap-fit ​​mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 51 and a snap-fit ​​element 52. The sleeve 51 is fixedly installed at both ends of the front of the first protective shell 1, and the snap-fit ​​element 52 is fixedly connected to both ends of the front of the second protective shell 3. An elastic limiting group 53 is fixedly connected inside the sleeve 51, and the elastic limiting group 53 and the snap-fit ​​element 52 snap together. The first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 constitute the protective body. The two are rotatably connected by a hinge seat 4 on the back. When installation is required, the first protective shell 1 is rotated open around the hinge seat 4, the pipe is placed between the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3, and then the first protective shell 1 is rotated back to be connected to the second protective shell 3. When the protective shell 3 is in place, the elastic limiting group 53 inside the sleeve 51 fixed at both ends of the front of the first protective shell 1 comes into play. Due to its elasticity, the elastic limiting group 53 is squeezed and deformed when the clamp 52 approaches the sleeve 51. When the clamp 52 is aligned and inserted into the appropriate position of the sleeve 51, the elastic limiting group 53 returns to its original state and engages with the clamp 52, thereby making the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 tightly fixed together. This ensures that the protective shell composed of the heat storage and insulation composite layer 2 can stably wrap the water pipe, perform its heat storage and insulation function, and prevent the pipe from freezing in a low-temperature environment.

[0028] refer to Figures 3-5The elastic limiting assembly 53 includes a torsion spring 531, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the sleeve 51. A round block 532 is fixedly connected to the front end of the torsion spring 531, and the round block 532 is rotatably connected to the front end of the sleeve 51. A limiting rod 533 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the round block 532, and the end of the limiting rod 533 is inserted into the inner side of the clamp 52. An adjusting shaft 534 is fixedly connected to the side of the two round blocks 532 that are close to each other. The first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are both arc-shaped. The clamp 52 includes a column 52. 1. The uprights 521 are fixedly installed at both ends of the front of the second protective shell 3. An arc-shaped tube 522 is fixedly installed at the front end of the uprights 521. An arc-shaped through hole 523 is opened inside the arc-shaped tube 522. The lower end of the limiting rod 533 is arc-shaped and inserted into the arc-shaped through hole 523. The arc-shaped through hole 523 and the arc-shaped lower end of the limiting rod 533 are both concentric with the torsion spring 531. During use, when it is necessary to connect the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3, the adjusting shaft 5 is rotated. 34. This causes the connected circular block 532 to rotate. The rotation of the circular block 532 causes the torsion spring 531 to twist and produce elastic deformation. At this time, the limiting rod 533 fixed to the bottom of the circular block 532 rotates accordingly and is pulled out from the arc-shaped through hole 523 of the arc-shaped tube 522 of the clamp 52. The first protective shell 1 is rotated around the hinge seat 4 to fit with the second protective shell 3, so that the sleeve 51 on the front of the first protective shell 1 is aligned with the arc-shaped tube 522 at the front end of the column 521 on the front of the second protective shell 3. The adjusting shaft 534 is released, and the torsion spring 531... 31. Due to the elastic recovery of its original shape, the circular block 532 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby causing the lower arc-shaped end of the limiting rod 533 to be inserted into the arc-shaped perforation 523 of the arc-shaped tube 522. Since the arc-shaped perforation 523 and the lower arc-shaped end of the limiting rod 533 are both set in concentric circles with the torsion spring 531, this structure ensures that the limiting rod 533 can be accurately and stably locked in, so that the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are firmly locked in place by the locking mechanism 5, providing stable protection for the tap water pipe and preventing the pipe from freezing due to low temperature.

[0029] refer to Figure 6The heat storage and insulation composite layer 2 includes a heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21, which is disposed on the outermost layer of the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3. An outer insulation layer 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21, and a heat storage and insulation layer 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer insulation layer 22. An elastic heat-conducting layer 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat storage and insulation layer 23. The heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21 is a black polytetrafluoroethylene layer, the outer insulation layer 22 is an aerogel outer layer, the heat storage and insulation layer 23 is a foam glass insulation material layer, and the elastic heat-conducting layer 24 is a silicone insulation conductor containing alumina. The outermost black polytetrafluoroethylene heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21 of the heat storage and insulation composite layer 2 has an extremely high solar absorption rate, rapidly absorbing solar radiation heat during the day and efficiently conducting heat inwards. Although the connected aerogel outer insulation layer 22 has excellent thermal insulation performance, under the continuous action of the high-heat heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21, some heat can still slowly pass through and be transferred to the inner foam glass insulation material layer. The foam glass insulation material layer has good heat storage capacity and can effectively store the absorbed heat energy. At night, the aerogel outer insulation layer 22 fully exerts its thermal insulation effect and slows down the loss of internal heat. At the same time, the heat absorbed by the aerogel and foam glass layers during the day will also be slowly released. This heat is slowly conducted to the inside of the encased pipe through the elastic heat-conducting layer 24, which is composed of alumina-containing silicone thermal conductor, so that the pipe always maintains a certain temperature, playing a role in heat storage and insulation, preventing the pipe from freezing due to low temperature. Moreover, the elasticity of the elastic heat-conducting layer 24 can better adapt to the pipe and improve the overall thermal insulation effect.

[0030] Operating principle and advantages: This device innovatively adopts an external black polytetrafluoroethylene heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21, which has an extremely high absorption rate of sunlight. During the day, it can quickly absorb the heat of solar radiation and efficiently conduct the heat away. The heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21 is closely attached to the aerogel outer insulation layer 22. Although the aerogel outer insulation layer 22 has excellent heat preservation performance, during long-term contact with the high-heat heat-absorbing and heat-conducting layer 21, heat can still slowly pass through and be transferred to the inner heat storage insulation layer 23. The heat storage insulation layer 23 is made of foam glass insulation material, which has good heat storage capacity and can effectively store the absorbed heat energy.

[0031] At night, the aerogel outer insulation layer 22 fully utilizes its excellent insulation properties to slow down internal heat loss. Simultaneously, the heat absorbed by the aerogel during the day is slowly released, and the heat absorbed by the foam glass insulation layer during the day can also assist in inward radiation. Heat is dissipated through the outer insulation layer 22 and the heat storage insulation layer 23, and can be transferred to the inner elastic heat-conducting layer 24. The elastic heat-conducting layer 24 is composed of a silicone insulation conductor containing alumina. At night, the outer insulation layer 22 continues to maintain its heat, while the heat stored in the heat storage insulation layer 23 is slowly transferred to the inner water pipes through the elastic heat-conducting layer 24. Radiation conduction, this unique thermal energy management system, not only endows the device with strong heat preservation performance, but also ensures that the heat absorbed during the day is accurately transferred to the water pipes inside the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3, keeping the temperature of the water pipes above the freezing point, effectively preventing the water pipes from freezing and achieving excellent anti-freeze protection. At the same time, the elastic thermal conductive layer 24 is a silicone thermal insulation conductor, which has good elasticity and can stably fit and contact the tap water pipes, improving its overall heat preservation effect. In addition, this device does not require connecting wires or complex electrical structures, which greatly reduces the cost of use and has great value for promotion and application.

[0032] The device is equipped with a sophisticated snap-fit ​​mechanism 5, which greatly improves the convenience of installation and disassembly. In actual use, the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are placed over the outer surface of the water pipe. The first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 can be flexibly flipped and adjusted through the hinge to make them fit the water pipe precisely. Then, the adjusting shaft 534 is turned to drive the round block 532 to rotate. During the rotation of the round block 532, the torsion spring 531 is compressed, and the torsion spring 531 is in a compressed state. At the same time, the round block 532 drives the limiting rod 533 to rotate. This causes the limiting rod 533 to separate from the arc-shaped tube 522. After the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are closed in place, the adjusting shaft 534 is released, the torsion spring 531 quickly returns to its original position, and pushes the round block 532 to rotate in the opposite direction. The round block 532 drives the arc-shaped end of the limiting rod 533 to be precisely inserted into the arc-shaped through hole 523 of the arc-shaped tube 522. Through the tight engagement between the limiting rod 533 and the arc-shaped tube 522, the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are stably limited, ensuring that the device is firmly installed on the water pipe.

[0033] When it is necessary to remove the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3, the operation is equally simple. Just push the adjusting shaft 534 again to rotate the round block 532, so that the arc-shaped end of the limiting rod 533 is pulled out from the arc-shaped through hole 523 of the arc-shaped tube 522. After the limiting rod 533 is separated from the arc-shaped tube 522, the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 3 are released from the limit, and the removal operation can be completed quickly. This convenient snap-fit ​​design enables the device to be installed and applied quickly, which significantly improves the efficiency of use.
