Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heating equipment, in particular to a connecting structure for a heating radiator. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the modern family heating system, it is very common that a wall-mounted stove or a boiler heats circulating water and connects to a heating radiator through pipe materials to achieve heat dissipation. The operation mechanism is as follows: the heat medium in the heating radiator exchanges heat inside the heating radiator, transmits heat to the inner wall of the heating radiator, and then the inner wall transmits heat to the outer wall by heat conduction, and finally the heating radiator outputs appropriate temperature to the room, and through heat conduction, convection and radiation, it promotes the uniform increase of the indoor temperature and creates a warm and comfortable indoor environment.

[0003] A common heating radiator is composed of an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe and a plurality of hollow fin plates fixed on the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe in parallel and at equal intervals, and the hollow fin plates are in communication with the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. In actual use, the inlet pipe introduces the circulating hot water heated by the wall-mounted stove or the boiler into the heating radiator system, and the outlet pipe is responsible for guiding the water after heat dissipation, thereby completing the water circulation. The area where the hollow fin plates are in communication with the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe constitutes the key part of heat exchange, and the hot water circulates in the inlet pipe, the outlet pipe and the hollow fin plates, and quickly transmits heat to the surrounding air by means of the thin wall structure of the hollow fin plates.

[0004] In daily use, the heating radiator is easily hit by external force, such as accidental knocking when moving furniture or accidental impact by human beings. Since the hollow fin plates are relatively thin, after being hit by a certain intensity, a single fin plate is prone to damage, such as breakage and indentation. The current hollow fin plates are fixed on the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe by welding, and once a single hollow fin plate is damaged, it cannot be replaced individually, and the entire heating radiator must be replaced. This not only causes resource waste, but also increases the economic cost of users and the complexity of replacement operation.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a connecting structure for a heating radiator to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0006] The present application provides a connecting structure for a heating radiator, which aims to solve the problems in the background art that the current hollow fin plates are fixed on the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe by welding, and once a single hollow fin plate is damaged, it cannot be replaced individually, and the entire heating radiator must be replaced. This not only causes resource waste, but also increases the economic cost of users and the complexity of replacement operation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a connecting structure for a radiator, comprising a plurality of hollow fin plates arranged side by side, wherein circulation pipes communicating with the interior of the hollow fin plates are symmetrically fixedly arranged on the hollow fin plates, and adjacent hollow fin plates are interconnected through the circulation pipes.

[0008] A connecting mechanism is provided between adjacent circulation pipes. This mechanism includes a connecting pipe that inserts into the circulation pipe. Both ends of the connecting pipe have external threads, and the circulation pipe has an internal thread that matches the external threads. When a hollow fin plate is damaged during daily use due to external impact, the connecting pipes on both sides of the hollow fin plate can be easily removed by rotating them counterclockwise to detach them from the circulation pipe. A new hollow fin plate can then be quickly installed and repositioned using the connecting pipes. This design, allowing for individual replacement of damaged parts, avoids the waste of resources and high costs associated with replacing the entire radiator due to a single damaged component, significantly improving the lifespan and maintenance convenience of the radiator.

[0009] Preferably, both the circulation pipe and the connecting pipe are copper pipes.

[0010] Preferably, to facilitate rotation of the connecting pipe via a wrench, a hexagonal plate is fixedly fitted onto the connecting pipe. The hexagonal plate allows for easy rotation of the connecting pipe via a wrench, thereby facilitating the installation or removal of the hollow fin plate.

[0011] Preferably, to increase the friction between the hexagonal plate and the wrench, several protrusions are fixedly connected to the hexagonal plate. These protrusions increase the friction between the hexagonal plate and the wrench.

[0012] Preferably, to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting pipe and the circulation pipe, sealing rings are symmetrically arranged on the connecting pipe to seal the gap between the connecting pipe and the circulation pipe. The elasticity of the sealing rings enables the gap between the connecting pipe and the circulation pipe to be sealed.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing ring is made of silicone or rubber.

[0014] Preferably, the circulation pipe includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is located at the top of the hollow finned plate, and the outlet pipe is located at the bottom of the hollow finned plate. Both the inlet and outlet pipes communicate with the interior of the hollow finned plate. The inlet pipe is responsible for introducing circulating hot water heated by the wall-hung boiler or boiler into the radiator system, while the outlet pipe is used to discharge the water after heat dissipation, thereby realizing water circulation.

[0015] This application greatly simplifies the assembly process of radiators by setting up a connecting mechanism. Compared with traditional welding methods, it eliminates the need for complex welding equipment and professional welding techniques. Ordinary users can easily assemble several hollow finned plates by following the operating instructions, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] This embodiment provides a connection structure for a radiator, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the connection structure includes several hollow finned plates 1 arranged side by side. Circulation pipes 2, communicating with the interior of each hollow finned plate 1, are symmetrically fixed on each finned plate 1. Adjacent hollow finned plates 1 are interconnected via the circulation pipes 2. Each circulation pipe 2 includes an inlet pipe 21 and an outlet pipe 22. The inlet pipe 21 is located at the top of the hollow finned plate 1, and the outlet pipe 22 is located at the bottom of the hollow finned plate 1. Both the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 communicate with the interior of the hollow finned plate 1. The inlet pipe 21 is responsible for introducing circulating hot water heated by the wall-hung boiler or boiler into the radiator system, while the outlet pipe 22 is used to discharge the dissipated water, thus achieving water circulation. In use, the hot water heated by the wall-hung boiler or boiler enters the circulation pipe 2 through the inlet pipe 21. Since the circulation pipe 2 is interconnected with the interior of the hollow finned plate 1, the hot water flows into the hollow finned plate 1. Inside the hollow finned plate 1, the heat carried by the hot water is transferred to the surface of the finned plate through the thin-walled structure via thermal conduction, and then dissipates heat to the surrounding air, achieving heat exchange. The dissipated water then flows out through the outlet pipe 22, completing a full heat cycle.

[0023] A connecting mechanism 3 is provided between adjacent circulation pipes 2. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting pipe 31 that inserts into the circulation pipe 2. Both ends of the connecting pipe 31 are provided with external threads 32, and the inside of the circulation pipe 2 is provided with internal threads 33 that are compatible with the external threads 32. By setting up the connecting mechanism 3, the assembly process of the radiator is greatly simplified. Compared with the traditional welding method, no complicated welding equipment or professional welding technology is required. Ordinary users can easily assemble several hollow fin plates 1 by following the operating instructions, which greatly improves installation efficiency and reduces installation costs. The threaded connection between the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2 provides stronger connection strength and stability compared with some other simple plug-in or snap-fit ​​connections. During the hot water circulation process, there is a certain water pressure inside the pipe. The threaded connection can effectively resist the separation force brought by the water pressure, ensuring that the connection between adjacent hollow fin plates 1 is firm and reliable, and will not loosen or leak due to water pressure fluctuations. This ensures the normal operation of the radiator and provides users with a continuous and stable heating effect. The design of this connection structure has high adaptability and versatility. The external thread 32 of the connecting pipe 31 and the internal thread 33 of the circulation pipe 2 adopt a standardized design, enabling the hollow finned plates 1 and the connecting pipe 31 produced in different batches to be compatible and used together. This universal design also facilitates easy access to suitable replacement parts during later maintenance, eliminating concerns about repair difficulties caused by incompatible parts and further enhancing the user experience. When assembling the radiator, first accurately insert the end of the connecting pipe 31 into the port of the circulation pipe 2, at which point the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2 are initially connected. Next, the operator rotates the connecting pipe 31 clockwise. Since the connecting pipe 31 has external threads 32 at both ends, and the circulation pipe 2 has matching internal threads 33, the external threads 32 and internal threads 33 mesh with each other during rotation. As the threads are screwed in, the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2 gradually become tightly connected, thus firmly assembling the adjacent hollow finned plates 1 together and constructing a continuous hot water circulation path. When a hollow fin plate 1 is damaged during daily use due to external impact or other reasons, simply rotate the connecting pipes 31 on both sides of the hollow fin plate 1 counterclockwise to disengage them from the circulation pipe 2. This allows for easy removal of the damaged hollow fin plate 1, quick installation of a new hollow fin plate 1, and repositioning via the connecting pipes 31. This design, allowing for individual replacement of damaged parts, avoids the waste of resources and high costs associated with replacing the entire radiator due to a single component failure, significantly improving the lifespan and maintenance convenience of the radiator.

[0024] Both circulation pipe 2 and connecting pipe 31 are copper pipes.

[0025] To facilitate the rotation of the connecting pipe 31 by using a wrench, a hexagonal plate 311 is fixedly fitted onto the connecting pipe 31. The hexagonal plate 311 allows for easy rotation of the connecting pipe 31 by using a wrench, thereby facilitating the installation or removal of the hollow fin plate 1.

[0026] To increase the friction between the hexagonal plate 311 and the wrench, several protrusions 3111 are fixedly connected to the hexagonal plate 311. The protrusions 3111 increase the friction between the hexagonal plate 311 and the wrench.

[0027] To improve the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2, sealing rings 312 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting pipe 31 to seal the gap between the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2. The elasticity of the sealing rings 312 can seal the gap between the connecting pipe 31 and the circulation pipe 2.

[0028] The sealing ring 312 is made of silicone or rubber.

[0029] It should be noted that many of the standard parts used in this invention are available on the market, while non-standard parts can be specially customized. The connection method used in this invention is also a very common method in the mechanical field, which the inventor will not elaborate on here.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
