[0025] This application provides a pipeline structure, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the pipe structure includes a waterproof box 100, a connecting component 200, and multiple pipes 300. The waterproof box 100 is provided with a water collection tank 101, and the waterproof box 100 is provided with a drain hole 102 that connects the water collection tank 101 to the outside. The connecting component 200 is located inside the waterproof box 100. One end of each of the multiple pipes 300 is located inside the waterproof box 100 and connected by the connecting component 200. The other end of each of the multiple pipes 300 extends out of the waterproof box 100. The water collection tank 101 is located below the multiple pipes 300.

[0026] The pipe structure provided in this application embodiment, by setting a water collection tank 101 inside the waterproof box 100 and placing the water collection tank 101 below multiple pipes 300, and opening a drain hole 102 on the waterproof box 100 to connect the water collection tank 101 with the outside, allows water condensed on the outer wall of the pipes 300 inside the waterproof box 100 to drip into the water collection tank 101 for collection, and then be discharged to the outside through the drain hole 102. This can prevent the pipes 300 and connecting parts 200 from being immersed in water and continuously corroding, thus affecting the service life of the pipes 300 and connecting parts 200, and achieving protection for the pipes 300 and connecting parts 200.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the waterproof box 100 includes a base 110 and a cover 120. The base 110 has an opening 111, and the cover 120 is detachably sealed at the opening 111. A water collection tank 101 is disposed inside the base 110. It is understood that some existing technologies use foaming agents and insulation cotton to wrap the connecting parts 200 on the pipe 300. Although foaming agents and sound insulation cotton have waterproof, heat insulation, and protective effects, they are non-removable structures, making it difficult to conveniently inspect and maintain the connecting parts 200, resulting in high maintenance difficulty. In contrast, this application detachably connects the base 110 and cover 120 of the waterproof box 100, allowing the base 110 and cover 120 to be disassembled when maintenance of the connecting parts 200 is needed. This enables convenient maintenance of the connecting parts 200 inside the waterproof box 100 without damaging the waterproof box 100, and the waterproof box 100 is reusable. Specifically, when the connecting component 200 malfunctions and requires troubleshooting and repair, it can be repaired by disassembling the cover 120.

[0028] Optionally, the box base 110 and the box cover 120 can be connected by screws to achieve a detachable connection between the box base 110 and the box cover 120, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the connecting parts 200 inside the waterproof box 100. Alternatively, the box base 110 and the box cover 120 can also be connected by snap-fit, which also achieves a detachable connection between the box base 110 and the box cover 120, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the connecting parts 200 inside the waterproof box 100.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the housing 110 includes a water receiving portion 112 and a mounting portion 113, which are vertically connected to form an L-shaped structure. A water collection tank 101 is disposed on the water receiving portion 112, and the pipe 300 is mounted on the mounting portion 113. By arranging the water receiving portion 112 and the mounting portion 113 of the housing 110 in an L-shaped structure, the opening 111 of the housing 110 can be made larger, which facilitates the connection of the pipe 300 and the connecting component 200, and also facilitates the maintenance of the connecting component 200.

[0030] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting part 113 has a first groove along its edge, and the cover 120 has a second groove 121 along its edge. The second groove 121 and the first groove together form a through hole 103 for the pipe 300 to pass through. Thus, one end of the pipe 300 can pass through the through hole 103 to the outside of the waterproof box 100 for connection with external pipes. Preferably, both the first groove and the second groove 121 are arc-shaped grooves, which fit the outer surface of the pipe 300, facilitating the positioning of the pipe 300.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting part 113 has multiple first grooves along its edge, and the cover 120 has multiple second grooves 121 along its edge. The multiple first grooves and the multiple second grooves 121 correspond one-to-one to form multiple through holes 103, and multiple pipes 300 are correspondingly inserted into the multiple through holes 103. For example, as shown in the figure, the mounting part 113 has three first grooves along its edge, and the cover 120 has three second grooves 121 along its edge. The three first grooves and the three second grooves 121 correspond one-to-one to form three through holes 103, and three pipes 300 are correspondingly inserted into the three through holes 103.

[0032] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing cotton 400 is provided between the pipe 300 and the through hole 103. The sealing cotton 400 is fitted onto the pipe 300, and its outer periphery is tightly fitted to the wall of the through hole 103. That is, the sealing cotton 400 wraps around the outer periphery of the pipe 300, and is also wrapped by the first groove on the box base 110 and the second groove 121 on the box cover 120. This arrangement can seal the gap between the pipe 300 and the through hole 103 through the sealing cotton 400, thereby preventing external water from entering the waterproof box 100 through the gap between the pipe 300 and the through hole 103 and causing damage to the connecting parts 200 inside the waterproof box 100, such as corrosion, rust, and energy loss.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the waterproof box 100 is a foam box, that is, the waterproof box 100 is a waterproof box 100 made of foam material. By using a foam box, the foam box has the function of heat insulation, which can reduce the energy loss of the connecting component 200 and achieve protection for the connecting component 200; moreover, compared with the solution of using sound insulation cotton, foaming agent or metal box to wrap the connecting component 200, the solution of using a foam box is lower in cost.

[0034] Specifically, when the waterproof box 100 is a foam box, and the box base 110 and the box cover 120 of the waterproof box 100 are detachably connected, the waterproof box 100 will have the effects of waterproofing, drainage, heat insulation and protection, thereby achieving effective protection of the connecting parts 200, and at the same time, it can also achieve convenient maintenance of the connecting parts 200.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a drain nozzle 500 is connected to the drain hole 102. The drain nozzle 500 facilitates the drainage of water from the water collection tank 101; it can also be connected to an external drain pipe to drain water from the water collection tank 101 to a designated location. Understandably, in applications where the pipe 300 transports cryogenic liquids, condensation can easily form on the outer wall of the pipe 300 when the environment is hot and humid, and drip into the water collection tank 101 inside the waterproof box 100. The drain nozzle 500 can drain the accumulated water from the water collection tank 101.

[0036] Specifically, the drain nozzle 500 has an internal drain port and an external drain port at both ends. The internal drain port is used to connect to the drain hole 102, and the external drain port is used to connect to an external drain pipe. The end of the drain nozzle 500 with the internal drain port is inserted into the drain hole 102, and the end of the drain nozzle 500 with the external drain port extends to the outside of the waterproof box 100 and is connected to an external drain pipe through the external drain port.

[0037] Optionally, the waterproof box 100 can be provided with multiple drain holes 102 and multiple drain nozzles 500. The multiple drain holes 102 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the water collection tank 101, and the multiple drain nozzles 500 are connected to the multiple drain holes 102 in a one-to-one correspondence. By providing multiple drain holes 102 and multiple drain nozzles 500, the accumulated water in the water collection tank 101 can be drained more quickly, improving drainage efficiency. For example, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the waterproof box 100 has two drainage holes 102 and two drainage nozzles 500 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, and each drainage hole 102 is connected to a corresponding drainage nozzle 500.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting component 200 can be a component or a splicing pipe, for example... Figure 2 The middle part is a splicing pipe. Specifically, the two ends of the pipe 300 have a first interface and a second interface, respectively. The first interface is used to connect with the connecting component 200, and the second interface is used to connect with an external pipe. The end of the pipe 300 with the first interface is located inside the waterproof box 100 and connected to the connecting component 200. The end of the pipe 300 with the second interface extends through the waterproof box 100 to the outside of the waterproof box 100 and is connected to an external pipe through the second interface.

[0039] Optionally, during liquid transfer, the liquid can be transferred from one pipe 300 to multiple pipes 300 and then out of the multiple pipes 300; or, the liquid can be transferred from multiple pipes 300 to one pipe 300 and then out of the single pipe 300; or, the liquid can be transferred from multiple pipes 300 to multiple pipes 300 and then out of the multiple pipes 300.
