Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steam pipe technology, and more specifically, relates to a steam pipe. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of steam pipes is to transport steam generated by heating water. Steam, as a highly efficient heat energy carrier, is widely used in power systems, heat exchange systems, industrial steam cleaning, and many other applications. The design of steam pipes needs to consider high temperature, high pressure, corrosion resistance, and thermal expansion during long-term use. Steam pipelines must withstand certain temperatures and pressures; therefore, appropriate materials, thicknesses, and joint types must be selected during the design phase. Steam expands in volume at high temperatures, so steam pipes require sufficient thermal expansion compensation devices, such as expansion joints, to prevent deformation or damage due to thermal expansion. The high temperature of steam causes heat loss during transmission; therefore, thermal insulation technology should be considered in the design to reduce energy waste. With the development of automation technology, the control of steam pipeline systems has gradually become automated. By integrating sensors, automatic regulating valves, and other equipment, real-time monitoring and regulation of parameters such as steam flow, pressure, and temperature can be achieved, improving system operating efficiency and safety.

[0003] The steam pipes used in existing coffee or tea makers have a problem that makes it difficult to precisely fix the angle after rotation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a steam pipe that can solve the problem that the angle of the existing steam pipe used in the machine body is difficult to fix accurately after rotation.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a steam pipe, which includes a steam channel and a rotating structure. The steam channel and the rotating structure are fixed by snap-fitting pieces. The steam channel includes an inner tube and an outer tube, and the inner tube is a Teflon tube. The rotating structure includes two positions formed by rotation. When it is in the first position, the steam channel is vertically downward. When it is in the second position, the steam channel forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body.

[0007] The technical advantages of the steam pipe provided by this utility model are as follows: The steam channel consists of an inner pipe and an outer pipe, with the inner pipe made of Teflon tubing. The outer pipe and the inner pipe are fixed together by snap-fit ​​clips, ensuring the stability and reliability of the steam channel.

[0008] The rotating structure has two positions, namely the first position and the second position: in the first position, the steam channel is vertically downward; in the second position, the steam channel forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body, which helps to adjust the steam flow direction and increase the steam propagation effect.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the steam pipe of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0010] The steam channel is provided with a steam nozzle at its end, and a sealing plug is filled between the steam nozzle and the inner tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing plug is stepped and is positioned to abut against the inner wall of the outer tube on the side of the steam nozzle. The stepped structure is used to prevent the sealing plug from moving in the direction that connects the steam channel to the rotating structure, so as to ensure the sealing effect.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improved scheme are as follows: a steam nozzle is provided at the end of the steam channel, and a sealing plug is used to fill the space between the inner tube and the steam nozzle. The sealing plug has a stepped structure, which effectively prevents the sealing plug from moving in the direction of the connection to the steam channel, thus ensuring a good sealing effect. The stepped sealing plug can ensure that no leakage occurs in a high-pressure steam environment, improving overall safety and efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​piece has an inverted U-shaped structure with symmetrical arc-shaped grooves on its inner walls on both sides. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped grooves matches the outer diameter of the inner tube, which is used to snap the inner tube into the rotating structure.

[0014] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned improved scheme are as follows: the snap-fit ​​piece adopts an inverted U-shaped structure, and symmetrical arc-shaped grooves are set on the inner walls on both sides. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped grooves matches the outer diameter of the inner tube, which is used to snap the inner tube into the rotating structure. This design can more firmly fix the inner tube and prevent the water vapor channel from loosening or leaking during use.

[0015] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​tab has a double-layer structure on the side near the water vapor channel, with an arc-shaped groove on the inner layer and a smooth inverted U-shaped structure on the outer layer.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improved scheme are as follows: the snap-fit ​​tab adopts a double-layer structure on the side near the water vapor channel, with an arc-shaped groove on the inner layer and a smooth inverted U-shaped structure on the outer layer. The double-layer structure design further enhances the stability of the snap-fit ​​tab and ensures the durability of the snap-fit ​​effect.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotating structure has a wave carrier on one side of the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​piece, and the interior of the rotating structure has two grooves. The wave carrier moves in the two grooves by rotating the rotating structure to fix the tilt angle of the water vapor channel.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improved scheme are as follows: a wave load is provided on one side of the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​piece in the rotating structure. The wave load moves between the two grooves by the rotation of the rotating structure, thereby fixing the tilt angle of the steam channel. The design of the wave load ensures that the angle of the steam channel can be stably fixed, preventing slippage or positional displacement, and ensuring the accuracy of the steam injection angle.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer wall of the wave carrier is configured as a single-corrugated structure.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: the outer wall of the corrugated load adopts a single corrugated structure, which can improve the flexibility and sealing performance of the corrugated load, enabling it to better adapt to different working conditions during rotation, thereby improving the overall sealing effect and service life.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the steam pipe provided by this utility model are:

[0022] The steam passage consists of an inner tube and an outer tube, with the inner tube made of Teflon. The outer and inner tubes are secured together by snap-fit ​​clips to ensure the stability and reliability of the steam passage.

[0023] The rotating structure has two positions, namely the first position and the second position: in the first position, the steam channel is vertically downward; in the second position, the steam channel forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body, which helps to adjust the steam flow direction and increase the steam propagation effect.

[0024] A steam nozzle is installed at the end of the steam passage. A stepped sealing plug fills the space between the inner tube and the steam nozzle. This design effectively prevents the sealing plug from moving towards the connection of the steam passage, thus ensuring a good seal. The stepped sealing plug ensures that no leakage occurs under high-pressure steam conditions, improving overall safety and efficiency.

[0025] The snap-fit ​​tab adopts an inverted U-shaped structure, with symmetrical arc-shaped grooves on both inner walls. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped grooves matches the outer diameter of the inner tube, used to snap the inner tube into the rotating structure. This design can more firmly fix the inner tube and prevent the water vapor channel from loosening or leaking during use.

[0026] The snap-fit ​​tab features a double-layer structure on the side closest to the steam channel. The inner layer has an arc-shaped groove, while the outer layer has a smooth, inverted U-shaped structure. This double-layer design further enhances the snap-fit ​​tab's stability and ensures a durable snap-fit ​​effect.

[0027] A wave-load is provided on one side of the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​piece in the rotating structure. The wave-load moves between two grooves as the rotating structure rotates, thereby fixing the tilt angle of the steam channel. The design of the wave-load ensures that the angle of the steam channel is firmly fixed, preventing slippage or positional displacement, and ensuring the accuracy of the steam injection angle.

[0028] The outer wall of the corrugated load adopts a single corrugated structure, which can improve the flexibility and sealing performance of the corrugated load, enabling it to better adapt to different working conditions during rotation, thereby improving the overall sealing effect and service life.

[0036] like Figure 1-3The figure shows a schematic diagram of a steam pipe provided by this utility model. The figure includes a steam channel 10 and a rotating structure 20, which are fixed by a snap-fit ​​piece 30. The steam channel 10 includes an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12, and the inner tube 11 is a Teflon tube. The rotating structure 20 includes two positions formed by rotation. When it is in the first position, the steam channel 10 is vertically downward. When it is in the second position, the steam channel 10 forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body.

[0037] In the above technical solution, a steam nozzle is provided at the end of the steam channel 10, and a sealing plug 111 is filled between the steam nozzle and the inner tube 11.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the sealing plug 111 is stepped and is positioned to abut against the inner wall of the outer tube 12 on the side of the steam nozzle. The stepped structure is used to prevent the sealing plug 111 from moving towards the steam channel 10 and connecting to the rotating structure 20, so as to ensure the sealing effect.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​piece 30 has an inverted U-shaped structure, and symmetrical arc-shaped grooves are provided on the inner walls on both sides. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped grooves matches the outer diameter of the inner tube 11, which is used to snap the inner tube 11 into the rotating structure 20.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​piece 30 has a double-layer structure on the side near the water vapor channel 10, with an arc-shaped groove on the inner layer and a smooth inverted U-shaped structure on the outer layer.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the rotating structure 20 is provided with a wave carrier 13 on one side of the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​piece 30. The rotating structure 20 has two grooves inside. The wave carrier 13 moves in the two grooves by rotating the rotating structure 20 to fix the tilt angle of the water vapor channel 10.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the outer wall of the wave carrier 13 is configured as a single corrugated structure.

[0043] In this embodiment 1:

[0044] The system includes a steam channel 10 and a rotating structure 20, which are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​piece 30. The steam channel 10 includes an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12, with the inner tube 11 being a Teflon tube. The rotating structure 20 has two positions formed by rotation. When in the first position, the steam channel 10 is vertically downward; when in the second position, the steam channel 10 forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body. A steam nozzle is provided at the end of the steam channel 10, and a sealing plug 111 is filled between the steam nozzle and the inner tube 11.

[0045] In this embodiment 2:

[0046] The system includes a steam channel 10 and a rotating structure 20, which are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​piece 30. The steam channel 10 includes an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12, with the inner tube 11 being a Teflon tube. The rotating structure 20 has two positions formed by rotation.

A steam nozzle is provided at the end of the steam channel 10, and a sealing plug 111 is filled between the steam nozzle and the inner tube 11. The sealing plug 111 is stepped and abuts against the inner wall of the outer tube 12 on the side of the steam nozzle. The stepped structure prevents the sealing plug 111 from moving towards the steam channel 10 connecting to the rotating structure 20, thus ensuring a sealing effect. The snap-fit ​​piece 30 has a double-layer structure on the side near the steam channel 10, with an arc-shaped groove on the inner layer and a smooth inverted U-shaped structure on the outer layer.

[0047] In this embodiment 3:

[0048] The system includes a steam channel 10 and a rotating structure 20, which are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​piece 30. The steam channel 10 includes an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12, with the inner tube 11 being a Teflon tube. The rotating structure 20 has two positions formed by rotation. In the first position, the steam channel 10 is vertically downward; in the second position, the steam channel 10 forms a fixed tilt angle with the machine body. A steam nozzle is provided at the end of the steam channel 10, and a sealing plug 111 fills the space between the steam nozzle and the inner tube 11. The sealing plug 111 is stepped and abuts against the inner wall of the outer tube 12 on the side of the steam nozzle. The stepped structure prevents the sealing plug 111 from moving towards the steam channel 10 connecting to the rotating structure 20, thus ensuring a sealing effect. The rotating structure 20 has a corrugated carrier 13 on one side of the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​piece 30. The rotating structure 20 has two grooves inside. The corrugated carrier 13 moves in the two grooves by rotating the rotating structure 20 to fix the tilt angle of the water vapor channel 10. The outer wall of the corrugated carrier 13 is set as a single corrugated structure.

[0049] Specifically, the principle of this invention is as follows: The inner and outer tubes are connected, and the steam channel is fixed in the rotating structure using snap-fit ​​pieces. This ensures a secure connection between the inner and outer tubes to prevent leakage. It also ensures the rotating structure can rotate smoothly between the first and second gear positions. During installation, the rotating structure is checked for sufficient rotation range to avoid restriction. At the end of the steam channel, the sealing plug is ensured to be correctly installed and tightly fitted to the nozzle to prevent steam leakage. The stepped structure effectively prevents displacement of the sealing plug.

[0050] Under normal circumstances, ensure the steam passage is parallel to the machine body. At this time, the rotating mechanism should be in the first position. When steam needs to be released, rotate the mechanism to the tilt position. At this time, the steam passage is in the second position. Simultaneously, start the machine; steam will be released through the nozzle, ensuring a smooth steam flow.
