[0002] Solar water heaters are heating devices that convert solar energy into heat energy, heating water from low to high temperatures to meet people's hot water needs in daily life and production. Solar water heaters are classified into vacuum tube solar water heaters and flat plate solar water heaters according to their structure, with vacuum tube solar water heaters being the main type, accounting for 95% of the domestic market share. Vacuum tube household solar water heaters are composed of collector tubes, water storage tanks, and supporting components, etc. The conversion of solar energy into heat energy mainly relies on vacuum collector tubes. Vacuum collector tubes utilize the principle that hot water rises and cold water sinks to create a micro-circulation of water to obtain the required hot water.
[0003] Currently, when adding water to a solar water tank, the gas inside the tank needs to be expelled through the vent pipe. When using hot water for showering, the water level in the tank gradually drops, and the outside gas enters the tank through the vent to balance the pressure inside and outside the tank. Existing vent pipes are usually installed using metal threads, which are prone to corrosion and make disassembly and assembly inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problem that existing solar water heater tank exhaust pipes are typically installed using metal threads, which are prone to corrosion and cause inconvenience in disassembly and assembly, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a solar water heater tank exhaust pipe installation device.

[0016] 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.
[0017] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a solar water heater tank exhaust pipe installation device, including a tank body 1, which is a conventional solar water heater tank. An exhaust nozzle 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the tank body 1, and an exhaust pipe body 3 is detachably installed on the exhaust nozzle 2. A limiting component 4 is installed on the exhaust nozzle 2 and the exhaust pipe body 3. The limiting component 4 includes two sleeves 401 distributed in a mirror image, and the sleeves 401 are fixedly installed at one end of the exhaust pipe body 3. A slider 404 is slidably installed in each of the two sleeves 401. A fixing block 405 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two sliders 404. A limiting block 406 is fixedly installed on the side of each fixing block 405 that is far apart from each other. A spring 408 is fixedly installed in each of the two sleeves 401. A pressure rod 407 is inserted through each of the two sleeves 401, and one end of the pressure rod 407 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slider 404. Two sliding grooves 402 distributed in a mirror image are fixedly installed on the outer ring of one end of the exhaust nozzle 2. The fixing block 405 can be inserted into the corresponding sliding groove 402. Limiting holes 403 are provided at the ends of the two sliding grooves 402 that are far apart from each other, and limiting blocks 406 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting holes 403. When installing the exhaust pipe body 3, first press the two pressure rods 407 with your fingers. The pressure rods 407 drive the sliders 404 to slide within the sleeve 401 and compress the spring 408. The two sliders 404 drive the two fixing blocks 405 to move closer together. Then, one end of the exhaust pipe body 3... The end sleeve is placed on the exhaust nozzle 2, so that the fixing block 405 is inserted into the corresponding slide groove 402 on the exhaust nozzle 2. Then, the pressing rod 407 is released. At this time, the slider 404 loses pressure and is subjected to the rebound force of the spring 408, so that the slider 404 and the fixing block 405 are reset. The fixing block 405 drives the limiting block 406 to move and be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 403. Thus, the limiting component 4 can be used to limit and fix the exhaust pipe body 3, and it is also convenient to quickly disassemble the exhaust pipe body 3.
[0018] The exhaust pipe body 3 is L-shaped. One end of the exhaust pipe body 3 is fixedly installed with a plurality of positioning rods 301 arranged in a ring. One end of the exhaust nozzle 2 is fixedly installed with a plurality of positioning grooves 201 arranged in a ring. The positioning rods 301 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves 201. When installing the exhaust pipe body 3, the positioning rods 301 on the exhaust pipe body 3 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves 201 on the exhaust nozzle 2.
[0019] A protective component 5 is installed at the top of the exhaust pipe body 3. The protective component 5 includes a protective cap 501, which is detachably installed at the top of the exhaust pipe body 3. The protective cap 501 is umbrella-shaped, and a plurality of ring-shaped fixing rods 502 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective cap 501. A plurality of ring-shaped slots 503 are fixedly installed at the top of the exhaust pipe body 3, and the fixing rods 502 can be locked into the corresponding slots 503. Since the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe body 3 is usually vertically upward, the umbrella-shaped protective cap 501 can prevent foreign objects from falling onto the exhaust pipe body. The blockage of the exhaust pipe body 3 by the internal components of the protective cap 501 causes obstruction and affects exhaust. The protective cap 501 is designed to be detachable for easy replacement. The fixing rod 502 at the bottom of the protective cap 501 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 503 at the top of the exhaust pipe body 3. The elastic clamping force and friction of the slot 503 are used to clamp the fixing rod 502, thereby installing the protective cap 501 on the exhaust pipe body 3. When it is necessary to remove the protective cap 501, the fixing rod 502 on the protective cap 501 can be disengaged from the slot 503 on the exhaust pipe body 3 by using external force.
[0020] Working principle: When using this utility model, first press the two pressure rods 407 with your fingers. The pressure rods 407 drive the sliders 404 to slide in the sleeve 401 and squeeze the spring 408. The two sliders 404 drive the two fixing blocks 405 to move closer to each other. Then, put one end of the exhaust pipe body 3 onto the exhaust nozzle 2, so that the positioning rod 301 on the exhaust pipe body 3 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 201 on the exhaust nozzle 2 for positioning, and the fixing block 405 is inserted into the corresponding sliding groove 402 on the exhaust nozzle 2. Then release the pressure rods 407. At this time, the sliders 404 lose pressure and are rebounded by the spring 408, so that the sliders 404 and the fixing blocks 405 are reset. The fixing blocks 405 drive the limiting block 406 to move and lock into the corresponding limiting hole 403. Thus, the limiting component 4 can be used to limit and fix the exhaust pipe body 3, and it is also convenient for the exhaust pipe body 3 to be quickly disassembled.
[0021] Next, using external force, the fixing rod 502 at the bottom of the protective cap 501 is inserted into the corresponding slot 503 at the top of the exhaust pipe body 3. The elastic clamping force and friction of the slot 503 are used to clamp the fixing rod 502, thereby installing the protective cap 501 on the exhaust pipe body 3. Since the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe body 3 is usually vertically upward, the umbrella-shaped protective cap 501 can prevent foreign objects from falling into the exhaust pipe body 3, causing blockage of the exhaust pipe body 3 and affecting exhaust.
