Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe insulation technology, specifically a pipe insulation mechanism for use in refrigeration systems. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation of a refrigeration system, pipes are the key channels for cold energy transfer. However, pipes inevitably exchange heat with the surrounding environment during operation, leading to cold energy loss. This not only reduces the efficiency of the refrigeration system and increases energy consumption, but may also affect the normal operation and lifespan of the refrigeration equipment. Therefore, effective insulation of refrigeration system pipes is crucial.
[0003] When using existing devices, traditional insulation structures are difficult to adjust flexibly at pipe bends, making it impossible to achieve a tight fit. This creates air gaps between the pipe and the insulation structure, further reducing the insulation effect. Therefore, we need to propose an insulation mechanism for pipes in refrigeration systems. Utility Model Content

By providing components such as a first folding plate and a second folding plate, it is convenient to seal the bends in the pipes, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] An insulation mechanism for pipes in a refrigeration system, comprising:
[0024] Two symmetrically distributed foam sleeves 1 are provided. Two symmetrically distributed fixed semi-rings 2 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two foam sleeves 1. Movable semi-rings 6 are in contact with the side walls of the multiple fixed semi-rings 2. Mounting semi-rings 7 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the multiple fixed semi-rings 2. A first folding plate 8 and a second folding plate 10 are fixedly connected between the two correspondingly distributed mounting semi-rings 7. A cavity is provided between the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10. Two symmetrically distributed elastic plates 9 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two correspondingly distributed mounting semi-rings 7. The two elastic plates 9 are fixedly connected to the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10 respectively.
[0025] For example, the two foam sleeves 1 are made of high-quality foam material, which has good heat insulation performance and flexibility, and can fit tightly against the outer wall of the pipe to effectively reduce heat transfer. The fixed half-ring 2 is firmly connected to the foam sleeve 1 through a special process to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during use. The design of the movable half-ring 6 makes the insulation mechanism more convenient and flexible to install and disassemble, and can be finely adjusted according to the actual size and shape of the pipe. The installation half-ring 7, as a key structure for connecting other components, has high strength and stability. A first folding plate 8 and a second folding plate 10 are fixedly connected between the two correspondingly distributed installation half-rings 7. The stacked plate 8 and the second folded plate 10 adopt a foldable design, which can be freely adjusted according to the curvature of the pipe and the insulation requirements. At the same time, a cavity is set between them, which further enhances the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation mechanism and effectively prevents heat conduction. Two symmetrically distributed elastic plates 9 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two correspondingly distributed mounting semi-rings 7. The two elastic plates 9 are fixedly connected to the first folded plate 8 and the second folded plate 10 respectively. The elastic plates 9 have good elasticity and seal the ends of the first folded plate 8 and the second folded plate 10 to prevent internal air leakage, while also ensuring the overall structural stability of the heat insulation mechanism.
[0026] Multiple fixed semi-rings 2 and multiple movable semi-rings 6 are provided with through holes 3. Each of the multiple through holes 3 is provided with a mounting bolt 17. Each of the multiple mounting bolts 17 is threaded with a nut 5 on its outer side. Each of the multiple nuts 5 is in contact with the movable semi-ring 6.
[0027] For example, the size and position of the through hole 3 are carefully designed to perfectly match the mounting bolt 17. The mounting bolt 17 is made of high-strength metal material with sufficient load-bearing capacity and tensile strength to withstand various stresses generated during pipeline operation. By rotating the nut 5, it can be tightly screwed onto the mounting bolt 17, thereby firmly fixing the fixed half ring 2 and the movable half ring 6 together. During the tightening of the nut 5, a clamping force is generated on the movable half ring 6 in the direction of the fixed half ring 2, making the contact between the two tighter and effectively preventing loosening or displacement during use, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the insulation mechanism.
[0028] Both mounting half-rings 7 have air inlets 11 inside, and both air inlets 11 have connectors 12 inside. Both connectors 12 have sealing caps 13 threaded to their outer sides. Both sealing caps 13 have limit holes 14 at their upper ends. Both limit holes 14 have limit blocks 15 slidably connected inside. Both limit blocks 15 have mounting brackets 16 fixedly connected to their upper ends. Both mounting brackets 16 have fixing bolts 4 inside. Both fixing bolts 4 are threadedly connected to the two movable half-rings 6 respectively.
[0029] For example, the diameter and depth of the air inlet 11 are precisely calculated to ensure smooth airflow into and out of the insulation mechanism. The connector 12 is made of high-quality materials with good sealing and corrosion resistance, and can fit tightly with the air inlet 11 to prevent gas leakage. The design of the sealing cap 13 further enhances the sealing performance of the air inlet 11. When inflation or deflation is not required, tightening the sealing cap 13 onto the connector 12 can effectively prevent outside air from entering the insulation mechanism and thus avoid affecting its insulation effect. The size and shape of the limiting hole 14 are compatible with the limiting block 15. The mounting bracket 16 provides precise positioning and guidance for the limiting block 15. The limiting block 15 can slide freely within the limiting hole 14, thus limiting the rotation of the sealing cover 13. When the sealing cover 13 is loose, the mounting bracket 16 provides an installation position for the fixing bolts 4, allowing the fixing bolts 4 to be stably fixed on the sealing cover 13. The two fixing bolts 4 are threadedly connected to the two movable half-rings 6 respectively. By rotating the fixing bolts 4, the relative position between the sealing cover 13 and the movable half-rings 6 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the tightening or loosening operation of the sealing cover 13, and facilitating the opening or closing of the air inlet 11.
[0030] Working principle: First, install the foam sleeve 1. Cut the foam sleeve 1 and put it on the outer wall of the pipe. With its good flexibility, the foam sleeve 1 can fit tightly to the pipe and effectively reduce heat transfer. Then, the fixing half ring 2 is firmly fixed to the side wall of the foam sleeve 1 through a special process to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during use.
[0031] Next, the movable half-ring 6 is installed. The design of the movable half-ring 6 allows for fine-tuning according to the actual pipe size and shape. It is placed on the side wall of the fixed half-ring 2, ensuring contact between the two. Then, the mounting bolt 17 is inserted into the through hole 3, which is carefully designed in size and position to perfectly match the mounting bolt 17. Finally, the nut 5 is screwed onto the outside of the mounting bolt 17. By rotating the nut 5, it is tightened onto the mounting bolt 17, generating a clamping force on the movable half-ring 6 towards the fixed half-ring 2, ensuring tight contact between the two and preventing loosening or displacement during use, thus guaranteeing the stability of the insulation mechanism. For reliability, the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10 are fixed between two correspondingly distributed mounting half-rings 7. Their foldable design can be freely adjusted according to the degree of pipe bending and insulation requirements. The cavity between them further enhances the heat insulation performance. At the same time, two elastic plates 9 are fixed together on the side walls of the two correspondingly distributed mounting half-rings 7 and are fixedly connected to the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10 respectively. The good elasticity of the elastic plates 9 can seal the ends of the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10 to prevent internal air leakage and ensure the overall structural stability.
[0032] Gas is injected into the cavity inside the first folding plate 8 and the second folding plate 10 through the connector 12. The sealing cover 13 is screwed onto the outside of the connector 12. By rotating the fixing bolt 4, the relative position of the sealing cover 13 and the moving half ring 6 is adjusted by the mounting bracket 16 to achieve the tightening or loosening operation of the sealing cover 13, so as to facilitate the opening or closing of the air inlet 11 to meet the inflation or deflation needs and ensure the normal operation of the heat preservation mechanism.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
