[0009] Through the above-mentioned setting, the possibility of cracking of the flow guide rib is further reduced.
[0010] Further, the length of the segment in the axial direction of the pipe body is 30-50mm.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0016] Figure 1 It is a schematic view of the floor heating pipe of the embodiment.
[0017] Figure 2 It is a sectional view of the floor heating pipe of the embodiment.
[0018] Figure 3 It is an enlarged view of A of Figure 2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical scheme of the present application will be further specifically described below by means of embodiments and in combination with the drawings.
[0020] As Figures 1 to 3 A floor heating pipe with flow guide ribs, comprising a pipe body 3 and a flow guide rib 4, the flow guide rib 4 is fixedly connected to the pipe wall of the pipe body 3 and extends spirally, the flow guide rib 4 is composed of a plurality of segments 41, the gap 5 is formed between adjacent segments 41, the width w of the gap 5 is 0.7-1.2mm, the inner diameter of the pipe body 3 is d, the height of the segment 41 is h, and 5% <h / d <15%.
[0021] Through the above setting, first, the flow guide rib 4 adopts segmented design to form the gap 5, the floor heating pipe is more flexible, the gap 5 is contracted when bending, the stress of each segment 41 of the flow guide rib 4 is reduced, so as to prevent the flow guide rib 4 from cracking; second, the height of the segment 41 is matched with the inner diameter of the pipe body 3, and the pressure loss and the scale prevention efficiency are considered.
[0022] The pipe body 3 of the present application can refer to existing ordinary floor heating pipes. Its outer diameter is divided into three types: 16mm, 25mm, and 20mm. The larger the outer diameter of the pipe body 3, the better the heating effect. The outer diameter of the pipe body 3 of the present application is specifically 20mm, which balances the flow resistance, heating effect, and flexibility, and is suitable for most house types. The floor heating pipe of the present application is provided with spiral guide ribs 4 on the inner side. When hot water passes through the pipe body 3, the hot water forms periodic eddies to scour the pipe wall, making it difficult for water scale to adhere to the pipe wall, thereby reducing the scaling rate, reducing water scale, and improving the heating performance of the floor heating system. The guide ribs 4 of the present application are arranged in a segmented manner, and gaps 5 are formed between multiple segments 41. The width of the gap 5 is 0.7 - 1.2mm. The gap 5 is generally small and does not affect the formation of eddies. The gap 5 of the present application is specifically 1mm. The segmented arrangement of the guide ribs 4 facilitates the bending of the floor heating pipe during laying. When the floor heating pipe is bent, the gap 5 at the inner circumference of the bent part decreases, and the gap 5 at the outer circumference increases, adapting to the bending of the floor heating pipe, effectively reducing the stress of the guide ribs 4, and preventing the guide ribs 4 from cracking. The wall thickness of the pipe body 3 is 2mm, and the inner diameter d is 16mm. According to the relationship between the height of the segment 41 and the inner diameter of the pipe body 3, the height of the segment 41 is determined as: 0.8mm < h < 2.4mm. The greater the height of the segment 41, the better the scale removal effect, but the greater the pressure loss. On the contrary, the smaller the height of the segment 41, the worse the scale removal effect, and the smaller the pressure loss. The height h of the segment 41 of the present application is specifically 1.2mm, that is, h / d = 7.5%, taking into account both the pressure loss and the scale removal effect.
[0023] As an implementation method, the material of the guide rib 4 is TPU.
[0024] Through the above settings, the possibility of the guide rib 4 cracking is further reduced.
[0025] The TPU material has good elasticity. After the floor heating pipe is bent, the guide rib 4 bends with the pipe body 3. Due to the good elasticity of the TPU material, the guide rib 4 will not crack.
[0026] As an implementation method, the length of the segment 41 in the axial direction of the pipe body 3 is 30 - 50mm.
[0027] The shorter the length of the segment 41, the more the number of segments 41 in the pipe body 3 per unit length, increasing the processing difficulty; the longer the length of the segment 41, although the processing difficulty of the floor heating pipe is reduced, when the floor heating pipe is bent, the stress of the guide rib 4 will increase, increasing the cracking risk. The length of the segment 41 of the present application in the axial direction of the pipe body 3 is specifically 40mm, taking into account both the processing difficulty and the cracking risk.
[0028] As an implementation method, the outer diameter of the pipe body 3 is 20mm.
[0029] As an implementation form, the guide ribs 4 are arranged in three annular arrays around the axis of the pipe body 3.
[0030] As an implementation form, h / d=7.5%.
[0031] As an implementation form, the pipe body 3 comprises a PERT inner pipe layer 31, an EVOH oxygen barrier layer 32 and a PERT outer pipe layer 33 arranged in sequence from inside to outside, and the guide ribs 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the PERT inner pipe layer 31.
[0032] Through the above arrangement, the oxygen barrier effect of the pipe body 3 is increased, so as to prevent external oxygen from permeating into hot water, prevent microorganisms from breeding in hot water, and further reduce the generation of biological sludge on the pipe wall.
[0033] It should be understood that, for those skilled in the art, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description, and all these improvements and changes shall belong to the protection scope of the appended claims of the present application.
