Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pipe technology, specifically to a solar heat pipe that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] Heat pipes, also known as gravity heat pipes, are simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and have excellent heat transfer performance. They are a widely used product for foundation solidification in permafrost regions. Without heat pipes, the freezing and thawing of the permafrost layer relies entirely on the conduction of the permafrost itself. In the cold season, the permafrost does not get enough freezing, and the average annual ground temperature of the permafrost layer in low-temperature permafrost regions is only -2°C. In the warm season, when the temperature is above 0°C, it is easy to melt and deform. However, after burying heat pipes, a near-isothermal cold source is added inside, which can reduce the temperature of the soil layer near the heat pipe wall from the ground to 5-6 meters underground to -20°C. This increases the cold storage capacity of the permafrost layer, improves its ability to resist environmental thermal erosion, and ensures the stability of the foundations of engineering structures in permafrost regions.
[0003] Traditional solar heat pipes are typically installed by drilling holes in the ground and then inserting the heat pipe. This method is difficult to guarantee consistent installation depth and verticality, which may negatively impact the heat transfer efficiency and thus affect their application in permafrost regions. Therefore, we propose an easy-to-install solar heat pipe to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0007] Mounting plates are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped plate. A connecting plate is fixed between the bottom sides of the two mounting plates. The connecting plate has a round hole in the middle and a strip hole on the side wall of the mounting plate. A first stake is fixed at the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0008] A rectangular frame is movably disposed between the two mounting plates. Handles are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the rectangular frame. The handles slide through the interior of the strip-shaped hole. A heat pipe body is disposed in the middle of the top of the rectangular frame. A second insert is disposed in the middle of the bottom of the rectangular frame. Both the heat pipe body and the heat pipe can be movably inserted through the interior of the circular hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the solar module includes support plates attached to the two inner sidewalls of the U-shaped plate, with a solar panel fixed on the top of the two support plates. A battery is installed on the inner sidewall of one of the support plates. The output end of the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery through a photovoltaic inverter. The output end of the battery is electrically connected to the input end of the heat rod body. A locking member for clamping and fixing the support plate is provided in the middle of the U-shaped plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the locking component includes a rotating rod rotatably connected between the inner sidewalls of the U-shaped plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] This application provides an easy-to-install solar heat pipe, mainly to address the problem that existing heat pipe installation methods typically involve drilling holes in the ground before inserting the heat pipe. This method struggles to ensure consistent installation depth and verticality, potentially negatively impacting the heat transfer efficiency and thus affecting its application in permafrost regions. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:
[0024] An easy-to-install solar thermal rod includes:
[0025] The U-shaped panel 1 and the solar panel 2 are detachably mounted on the upper side of the U-shaped panel 1.
[0026] Mounting plate 3 is fixed on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped plate 1. A connecting plate 4 is fixed between the bottom sides of the two mounting plates 3. The middle part of the connecting plate 4 has a round hole 401. The side wall of the mounting plate 3 has a strip hole 301. The bottom of the mounting plate 3 is fixed with a first insert 5.
[0027] A rectangular frame 6 is movably positioned between two mounting plates 3. Handles 7 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the rectangular frame 6. The handles 7 slide through the inside of the strip hole 301. A heat rod body 8 is provided in the middle of the top of the rectangular frame 6. A second insertion post 9 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the rectangular frame 6. Both the heat rod body 8 and the heat rod body 8 can be movably inserted into the inside of the round hole 401.
[0028] Workflow Description:
[0029] The first step is to move the solar thermal rod device to the installation site and check that all components are intact.
[0030] The second step is to determine the installation position of the heat pipe body 8 according to the engineering design requirements, clear the ground debris, and ensure that the installation area is flat and free of obvious obstacles that may affect the insertion of the stake and subsequent operations.
[0031] The third step is to press down the U-shaped plate 1 (some auxiliary tools can be used to apply pressure to the U-shaped plate 1) to align the first stake 5 with the ground and forcefully insert it vertically into the soil so that the installation plate 3 is in a vertical position.
[0032] The fourth step is to put one foot inside the rectangular frame 6 and step down, using the weight of the body to gradually insert the second stake 9 into the soil. At the same time, the rectangular frame 6 will drop a certain height due to the insertion of the stake.
[0033] Fifth step, pull handle 7 upwards to move the second stake 9 upwards, so that it is off the ground a certain distance, in preparation for the subsequent rotation of the rectangular frame 6.
[0034] Step 6: Turn handle 7 to rotate the rectangular frame 6 180 degrees, so that the heat pipe body 8 faces downward and is aligned with the round hole 401 on the connecting plate 4. Step down on the rectangular frame 6 again. Under the action of gravity and human force, the heat pipe body 8 passes through the round hole 401 and is inserted into the soil until it reaches the depth required by the design, ensuring that the heat pipe body 8 is installed vertically and stably in the soil.
[0035] Step 7, install solar panel 2.
[0036] This device integrates the heat pipe body 8 with the installation structure. Through the cleverly designed cooperation between components such as the U-shaped plate 1, the mounting plate 3, and the rectangular frame 6, the heat pipe can be installed as a whole without the need for separate drilling, which improves installation efficiency and accuracy and ensures the consistency of the verticality and installation depth of the heat pipe. At the same time, the convenient operation process greatly shortens the installation time, improves construction efficiency, and reduces labor costs and labor intensity.
[0037] It should be noted that the heat pipe body 8 in this device is existing technology, and its working principle has been explained in the background art.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the solar module 2 includes support plates 201 attached to the two inner walls of the U-shaped plate 1. A solar panel 202 is fixed on the top of the two support plates 201. A storage battery 203 is installed on the inner wall of one of the support plates 201. The output end of the solar panel 202 is electrically connected to the storage battery 203 through a photovoltaic inverter. The output end of the storage battery 203 is electrically connected to the input end of the heat rod body 8. A locking member 10 for clamping and fixing the support plate 201 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped plate 1. More specifically, the solar panel 202 absorbs solar radiation energy under sunlight conditions and converts it into electrical energy. The photovoltaic inverter converts the DC power output by the solar panel 202 into DC power suitable for charging the storage battery 203. The storage battery 203 stores the electrical energy. When the ambient temperature is low or the heat rod body 8 needs to work, the storage battery 203 provides electrical energy to the input end of the heat rod body 8.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking member 10 includes a rotating rod 1001 rotatably connected between the inner sidewalls of the U-shaped plate 1. The rotating rod 1001 has threads with opposite helical directions on both sides, and clamping blocks 1002 are symmetrically connected to it. The bottom of the clamping blocks 1002 is slidably connected to the bottom plate of the U-shaped plate 1. Knobs 1003 are connected to both ends of the rotating rod 1001 through the sidewalls of the U-shaped plate 1. Strip-shaped holes 301 are spaced apart near the inner sidewall of the bottom plate of the U-shaped plate 1. A U-shaped notch is formed in the middle of the bottom of the support plate 201, and it slides through the inside of the strip-shaped hole 301. More specifically, when installing the solar panel 202, the solar module 2 is positioned so that the U-shaped notch at the bottom of the support plate 201... Align the notch with the slotted hole 301 on the bottom plate of the U-shaped plate 1, and then rotate the knobs 1003 at both ends of the rotating rod 1001 to drive the clamping block 1002 to move along the thread of the rotating rod 1001 and clamp the support plate 201 to complete the installation of the solar module 2.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the two support plates 201 are at different heights, and the solar panel 202 is tilted. More specifically, the tilted placement of the solar panel 202 allows sunlight to shine more directly onto the surface of the solar cell. Compared to horizontal placement, a solar panel 202 with a suitable tilt angle can reduce the reflection loss of sunlight on the surface of the solar cell. This is because when the light is perpendicular to the solar cell, the amount of reflected light is minimal, and more light energy is absorbed by the solar cell and converted into electrical energy. Especially in the morning and evening, when the solar altitude angle is low, the tilted solar panel 202 can significantly increase the reception of solar radiation during these periods, thereby increasing the total daily power generation.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom ends of both the first stake 5 and the second stake 9 are conical. More specifically, the conical bottom end can distribute the resistance encountered by the stake during insertion over a larger area. Compared to flat bottoms or other shapes, the conical bottom end can utilize its shape advantage to quickly penetrate the surface soil like a wedge, reducing the pressure per unit area and thus significantly reducing the force required for insertion.
[0042] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, a connecting pipe 11 is embedded in the top of the rectangular frame 6, and one end of the heat rod body 8 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 11. More specifically, the threaded connection between one end of the heat rod body 8 and the connecting pipe 11 is a common and reliable connection method. The threaded connection is achieved by machining matching internal and external threads at corresponding locations on the heat rod body 8 and the connecting pipe 11. During connection, the external thread of one end of the heat rod body 8 is aligned with the internal thread of the connecting pipe 11, and then the heat rod body 8 is rotated so that the external thread gradually enters the internal thread, thereby achieving a tight connection between the two. Compared with other connection methods (such as welding, adhesive bonding, etc.), the threaded connection has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly. When it is necessary to repair, replace, or clean the heat rod body 8, it is only necessary to use appropriate tools (such as wrenches) to unscrew the heat rod body 8 from the connecting pipe 11, without the need for complex equipment or processes. This is very important for the later maintenance and upkeep of the equipment, reducing maintenance costs and time, and improving the availability of the equipment.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
