Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve heating technology, and in particular relates to an auxiliary heating device for valves. Background Technology
[0002] In low-temperature or high-viscosity fluid transport systems, existing valves are prone to problems such as valve jamming and seal failure due to medium freezing, crystallization, or reduced fluidity, which can even lead to safety accidents. Existing solutions include electric heating tape, steam heating tape, or hot water circulation. Electric heating tape is wrapped around the outside of the valve, but due to differences in valve structure, problems such as uneven heating, high energy consumption, and inaccurate temperature control may occur. It is also prone to damage to the sealing material due to local overheating. Steam heating tape and hot water circulation methods require the laying of pipelines, which are complex, costly, and lack flexibility. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary heating device for valves. Through the design of two insulated half-shells, they can completely cover the outside of the valve after docking. At the same time, through the design of heating elements and heat-conducting plates, the heat of the heating elements can be transferred through the heat-conducting plates. In addition, by injecting glue into the sealing edge, the heat-conducting glue is used for heat transfer between the heat-conducting plates and the valve, thus achieving overall valve heating and ensuring heat transfer effect.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model is an auxiliary heating device for valves, comprising a set of symmetrically arranged heat-insulating half-shells;
[0006] The heat-insulating half-shell includes a main body, both ends of which are provided with end plates of a semi-circular ring structure, and one end of the main body is provided with a clearance opening;
[0007] The two insulation half-shells are connected together by a connecting mechanism, the main body of the two insulation half-shells forms an outer cover, the relief opening of the two insulation half-shells forms a main through-hole, and the valve pipe through-hole is formed at the axis of the two end plates on the same side.
[0008] The inner wall of the insulated semi-shell is provided with several frame-shaped sealing edges, and several arc-shaped heat-conducting sheets are fixed on the inner wall of the insulated semi-shell. The heat-conducting sheets are respectively arranged in the several sealing edges, and the thickness of the heat-conducting sheets is less than the thickness of the sealing edges.
[0009] Both ends of the sealing edge are provided with glue openings extending to the outer surface of the heat-insulating half shell. The glue openings are provided with glue nozzles or plugs, and the heat-conducting sheet is provided with notches opposite to the glue openings.
[0010] Several heating elements are embedded and fixed inside the heat-insulating half-shell. An insulating layer is provided on the outside of the heating elements, and several heat-conducting sheets are respectively attached to the outside of the heating elements.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a valve device, which includes a valve body with a gap between the two insulated half-shells. The valve body has valve tubes at both ends, which pass through valve tube openings. The valve body is provided with opening and closing elements, which pass through the main opening.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing edge is attached to the outer surface of the valve body to form a sealing cavity, which is filled with thermally conductive adhesive.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism is a cable tie, strap, or fiberglass tape, and the connecting mechanism is divided into two parts, which are respectively fitted onto the outside of the two ends between the two insulation half shells.
[0014] Furthermore, double-sided adhesive is provided between the surfaces of the two insulated half-shells that are in contact, and the two insulated half-shells are bonded and fixed together by the double-sided adhesive.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the outer sides of the insulated half-shell away from the relief opening is provided with a connector end, and several heating elements inside the insulated half-shell are connected to the connector end.
[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This invention features a design with two insulated half-shells that, when joined together, can completely cover the outside of the valve. Simultaneously, the design incorporates a heating element and a heat-conducting plate, allowing heat to be transferred from the heating element via the heat-conducting plate. Furthermore, by injecting adhesive into the sealing edge, the heat-conducting adhesive is used for heat transfer between the heat-conducting plate and the valve, thus achieving overall valve heating and ensuring effective heat transfer.
[0018] This invention, through the design of a sealing edge, forms a sealed cavity between the valve and the outer wall after installation by squeezing the valve. Adhesive can be injected into the sealed cavity through the glue port, and the heat-conducting adhesive is used for heat transfer. Compared with the solution of directly installing the heating element on the insulation half shell, it can ensure heat transfer and avoid the problems of poor heat conduction caused by the gap between the heating element and the valve body or the pressure between the heating element and the valve body causing damage to the element.
[0019] This invention uses double-sided adhesive on the connecting surfaces of the two insulation half-shells to pre-fix them, facilitating position adjustment and the arrangement of subsequent connection mechanisms. The two insulation half-shells are connected by cable ties, straps, or tape, which not only facilitates fixing but also provides insulation protection and reduces costs.
