Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating technology, and more specifically, to a multi-mode heating energy-saving heating device. Background Technology

[0002] A heater is a device used to generate and transfer heat energy. It is widely used in homes, industries, and commercial places to increase the ambient temperature or meet specific heating needs. Common household appliances such as radiators, underfloor heating systems, and electric heaters all fall under the category of heaters.

[0003] Current energy-saving multi-mode heating devices, such as the Chinese Patent Publication (Announcement) No.: CN222438043U, "An Energy-Saving Multi-Mode Heating Device", can introduce hot water into the first circulating water pipe group or the second circulating water pipe group separately or simultaneously through the setting of a multi-channel water pump mechanism. Then, heat is dissipated through the first circulating heat dissipation pipe or the second circulating heat dissipation pipe, thereby providing heat to the outside. Depending on different situations, it can select to provide heat through the first circulating heat dissipation pipe or the second circulating heat dissipation pipe separately or simultaneously, which can save energy and achieve energy-saving heating.

[0004] However, in actual use, current heaters usually provide heat through hot water or steam. In this case, the moisture in the hot water and steam can corrode the metal joints, causing damage to the connection between the heater and the pipes. Furthermore, the expansion and contraction of the heating pipes during heating and cooling will further damage the connection. If hot water is used for heating, users can visually observe the damage and are less likely to be scalded. However, if steam is used for heating, it is difficult to determine whether there is a leak, which can easily scald users. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a multi-mode heating energy-saving heater with the advantage of gas leakage alarm.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-mode energy-saving heating device, comprising a heating device, wherein a multi-channel valve is provided inside the heating device, a first heat pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the multi-channel valve, a second heat pipe is fixedly installed at the other end of the multi-channel valve, connecting pipes are provided on both sides of the heating device, and a circulation pipe is provided at one end of the two sets of connecting pipes, wherein the connecting pipes and the circulation pipes are connected to each other through pipe joints;

[0007] Alarm mechanisms are installed on both the left and right sides of the heater. Each alarm mechanism includes a fixed ring that is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the left and right sides of the heater. A rubber protective sleeve is installed at one end of the fixed ring, and an air bladder is fixedly installed at the other end of the rubber protective sleeve. The fixed ring and the movable ring are flexibly connected by the rubber protective sleeve. The rubber protective sleeve is located outside the pipe joint.

An alarm is fixedly installed on one side of the movable ring. The air inlet of the alarm is located inside the rubber protective sleeve, and the air outlet of the alarm is located outside the rubber protective sleeve.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing mechanism is provided at the top of the movable ring;

[0009] The sealing mechanism includes an inflation port fixedly installed on the top of the movable ring, and a connecting pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the inflation port, the other end of which is connected to the airbag.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixing rod is fixedly installed inside the inflation port, and a plug is sleeved on the top of the fixing rod. The plug and the fixing rod are elastically connected by a spring, and the plug seals the inflation port.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the inflation port, a hand-tightening bolt is threaded onto the top of the bracket, and a pin is fixedly installed on the bottom of the hand-tightening bolt, with the pin and the plug corresponding to each other.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the side plate is threaded with a bolt, one end of which penetrates into the interior of the positioning block and fixes the heater.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the setting of multi-channel valves and two sets of heat pipes inside the heater, allows workers to heat through the first and second heat pipes separately or simultaneously, achieving energy saving in heating. It can also detect the airtightness between the circulation pipe and the connecting pipe in real time by sealing the pipe joints with rubber protective sleeves when steam flows in the pipes. When the pipe joints are worn and leaking, the gas will pass through the alarm and make the alarm sound, realizing the alarm function. While providing maintenance for workers, it can also prevent workers from being burned.

[0017] 2. This utility model, through the design of the air inlet and the ejector pin, allows workers to inflate and deflate the airbag simply through the air inlet, improving work efficiency.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-mode energy-saving heating device, including a heating device 1. The heating device 1 is equipped with a multi-channel valve 11. A first heat pipe 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the multi-channel valve 11, and a second heat pipe 13 is fixedly installed at the other end of the multi-channel valve 11. Connecting pipes 14 are provided on both sides of the heating device 1. A circulation pipe 15 is provided at one end of each of the two sets of connecting pipes 14. The connecting pipes 14 and the circulation pipes 15 are connected to each other through pipe joints 16.

[0028] Alarm mechanisms 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the heater 1. Each alarm mechanism 2 includes a fixed ring 21 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the left and right sides of the heater 1. A rubber protective sleeve 22 is installed on one end of the fixed ring 21, and an airbag 24 is fixedly installed on the other end of the rubber protective sleeve 22. The fixed ring 21 and the moving ring 23 are flexibly connected by the rubber protective sleeve 22. The rubber protective sleeve 22 is located outside the pipe joint 16. An airbag 24 is provided on the inner side of the moving ring 23. The airbag 24 is in contact with the outer wall of the circulation pipe 15. An alarm 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the moving ring 23. The air inlet of the alarm 25 is located inside the rubber protective sleeve 22, and the air outlet of the alarm 25 is located outside the rubber protective sleeve 22.

[0029] After installing the heater 1, the operator first connects the connecting pipe 14 and the circulation pipe 15 through the pipe joint 16. Then, the operator pulls the moving ring 23 to the outer wall of the circulation pipe 15, ensuring that the rubber protective sleeve 22 is displaced outside the pipe joint 16. An external air pump is then used to inflate the inflation port 32. The airflow compresses the plug 33, causing it to move downwards. Further gas enters the air bladder 24 through the inflation port 32 and the connecting pipe 31, causing the air bladder 24 to inflate. After inflating, the air bladder 24 adheres to the outer wall of the circulation pipe 15, further sealing the pipe joint 16 with the rubber protective sleeve 22. After sealing, the plug 33 returns to its original position using the elastic potential energy of the spring 35, sealing the inflation port 32 and preventing gas leakage. When using the heater 1, the operator can use the multi-channel... A valve 11 allows hot air to pass through either the first heat pipe 12 or the second heat pipe 13, enabling selective heating via either heat pipe 12 or the second heat pipe 13, either separately or simultaneously, under different conditions. This saves energy and achieves energy-saving heating. When the pipe joint 16 wears and leaks, the gas accumulates inside the rubber protective sleeve 22. Further gas is discharged through the alarm 25. The airflow releases a sharp whistle sound as it passes through the outlet of the alarm 25 (the alarm 25 is based on the whistle principle; when the airflow enters the whistle cavity at high speed from the mouthpiece, it hits the sharp edge, cutting the airflow and causing air pressure fluctuations to form sound waves; these sound waves are repeatedly reflected and superimposed in the closed cavity of the whistle, resonating and amplifying a specific frequency, and finally releasing a sharp whistle sound through the outlet; this technology is existing and will not be elaborated further). This achieves an alarm effect, reminding staff that the pipe joint 16 is worn.

[0030] By using the multi-channel valve 11 and two sets of heat pipes inside the heater 1, workers can use the first heat pipe 12 and the second heat pipe 13 to provide heat separately or simultaneously, achieving energy saving in heating. When steam flows in the pipe, the rubber protective sleeve 22 seals the pipe joint 16 to detect the airtightness between the circulation pipe 15 and the connecting pipe 14 in real time. When the pipe joint 16 is worn and leaks, the gas will pass through the alarm 25 to make the alarm sound, realizing the alarm function. This provides workers with maintenance while preventing them from being burned.

[0031] The top of the movable ring 23 is provided with a sealing mechanism 3;

[0032] The sealing mechanism 3 includes an air inlet 32 ​​fixedly installed on the top of the movable ring 23. A connecting pipe 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air inlet 32, and the other end of the connecting pipe 31 is connected to the airbag 24.

[0033] The inflation port 32 is fixedly installed with a fixing rod 34 inside. A plug 33 is sleeved on the top of the fixing rod 34. The plug 33 and the fixing rod 34 are elastically connected by a spring 35. The plug 33 seals the inflation port 32.

[0034] The top of the air inlet 32 ​​is fixedly mounted with a bracket 36, the top of the bracket 36 is threaded with a hand-tightening bolt 37, and the bottom of the hand-tightening bolt 37 is fixedly mounted with a pin 38, the pin 38 and the plug 33 are positioned correspondingly.

[0035] When the worker needs to disassemble the pipe joint 16, the worker can rotate the hand-tightening bolt 37. The rotation of the hand-tightening bolt 37 will cause the ejector pin 38 to move downward. As the ejector pin 38 moves downward, it will squeeze the plug 33, allowing the gas inside the airbag 24 to be discharged through the inflation port 32.

[0036] It also includes a support mechanism 4, which includes side plates 41 fixedly installed on the wall, and support plates 42 fixedly installed at the bottom of the two sets of side plates 41, which support the heater 1.

[0037] The heater 1 is relatively heavy, and the support plate 42 can support the heater 1 and reduce the wear of the fasteners.

[0038] The two sets of side plates 41 are provided with positioning grooves 43 at one end, and positioning blocks 17 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the heater 1. The positioning blocks 17 and the positioning grooves 43 are corresponding in shape.

[0039] The positioning block 17 and positioning groove 43 enable workers to quickly position the heater 1 during installation, facilitating the installation process.

[0040] The outer wall of the side plate 41 is threaded with a bolt 44, one end of which penetrates into the interior of the positioning block 17 and fixes the heater 1.

[0041] The design of the air inlet 32 ​​and the ejector pin 38 allows the staff to inflate and deflate the airbag 24 through the air inlet 32 ​​alone, improving work efficiency. The support plate 42 provides auxiliary support for the heater 1, which can effectively reduce the wear of fasteners. Finally, the design of the positioning grooves 43 on the left and right sides allows the staff to quickly position the heater 1 during installation, reducing the workload.

[0042] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0043] After installing the heater 1, the operator first connects the connecting pipe 14 and the circulation pipe 15 through the pipe joint 16. Then, the operator pulls the moving ring 23 to the outer wall of the circulation pipe 15, ensuring that the rubber protective sleeve 22 is displaced outside the pipe joint 16. An external air pump is then used to inflate the inflation port 32. The airflow compresses the plug 33, causing it to move downwards. Further gas enters the air bladder 24 through the inflation port 32 and the connecting pipe 31, causing the air bladder 24 to inflate. After inflating, the air bladder 24 adheres to the outer wall of the circulation pipe 15, further sealing the pipe joint 16 with the rubber protective sleeve 22. After sealing, the plug 33 returns to its original position using the elastic potential energy of the spring 35, sealing the inflation port 32 and preventing gas leakage. When using the heater 1, the operator can use the multi-channel... A valve 11 allows hot air to pass through either the first heat pipe 12 or the second heat pipe 13, enabling selective heating via either heat pipe 12 or the second heat pipe 13, either separately or simultaneously, under different conditions. This saves energy and achieves energy-saving heating. When the pipe joint 16 wears and leaks, the gas accumulates inside the rubber protective sleeve 22. Further gas is discharged through the alarm 25. The airflow releases a sharp whistle sound as it passes through the outlet of the alarm 25 (the alarm 25 is based on the whistle principle; when the airflow enters the whistle cavity at high speed from the mouthpiece, it hits the sharp edge, cutting the airflow and causing air pressure fluctuations to form sound waves; these sound waves are repeatedly reflected and superimposed in the closed cavity of the whistle, resonating and amplifying a specific frequency, and finally releasing a sharp whistle sound through the outlet; this technology is existing and will not be elaborated further). This achieves an alarm effect, reminding staff that the pipe joint 16 is worn.
