Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pipe protection, and in particular to a self-heating antifreeze water pipe protective sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe protective sleeves are protective devices specifically designed for various types of water pipes. They are typically made of materials such as rubber, polyethylene, and polyurethane, which have wear-resistant, temperature-resistant, and corrosion-resistant properties. Their main function is to wrap around the outside of the water pipe, forming a sturdy barrier to resist damage to the water pipe from external environmental factors such as mechanical impact, ultraviolet radiation, sudden temperature changes, and chemical corrosion. At the same time, they can also reduce the noise generated by water flow impact or vibration, and extend the service life of the water pipe. They are widely used in home decoration, construction projects, municipal pipelines, and other scenarios, and are an important auxiliary component to ensure the safe and stable operation of water pipe systems.
[0003] However, water pipes installed outdoors are constantly exposed to natural conditions and are highly susceptible to the direct impact of complex meteorological factors. Especially in winter, when temperatures drop sharply, outdoor water pipes in some older residential areas often lack effective insulation, causing the water inside to gradually freeze due to the low ambient temperature. The expansion of the ice can damage the pipes, thereby obstructing the water supply system and preventing normal water delivery to residents, causing considerable inconvenience to daily life. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that outdoor water pipes in some old residential areas often freeze due to low ambient temperature, which obstructs the water supply and prevents normal water delivery. Therefore, a self-heating antifreeze water pipe protective sleeve is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a self-heating antifreeze water pipe protective sleeve, comprising two sets of self-heating protective sleeves and a water pipe body. The two sets of self-heating protective sleeves are respectively symmetrically arranged on the outside of the water pipe body. The self-heating protective sleeve includes an installation groove, a heater, and a heat-conducting layer. The heater and the heat-conducting layer are both fixedly installed inside the installation groove. The heating rod of the heater is arranged inside the heat-conducting layer. A heat-conducting plate is fixedly bonded to the outside of the heat-conducting layer.
[0006] Preferably, the heat-conducting plate has a semi-circular cross-section and is attached to the outside of the water pipe body.
[0007] Preferably, auxiliary connecting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting groove.
[0008] Preferably, one of the two auxiliary connecting plates in one of the mounting slots has a positioning groove on one side, and the other of the two auxiliary connecting plates in the mounting slots has a positioning strip fixedly connected to one side, the positioning strip being movably engaged inside the positioning groove.
[0009] Preferably, the two sets of self-heating protective sleeves are fixedly connected by bolts, and one end of the bolts passes through one end of two adjacent auxiliary connecting plates and is threaded with nuts.
[0010] Preferably, positioning plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the mounting groove, one of the positioning plates has a positioning groove on one side, and the other positioning plate has a positioning protrusion fixedly connected to one side.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. In this utility model, heat energy is generated by the heating rod, the core component of the heater, after being energized. This heat is first conducted to the interior of the heat-conducting layer to complete the energy accumulation. Then, through the medium action of the heat-conducting plate, it is directionally transferred to the internal cavity of the water pipe body to realize the temperature control of the water in the pipe. This effectively avoids the risk of freezing in low-temperature environments and ensures that the water pipe body can still maintain a stable water supply function in extremely cold outdoor conditions.
[0013] 2. In this utility model, when installing two sets of self-heating protective sleeves, first attach one set to the water pipe body and align the other set, so that the positioning strip is inserted into the positioning groove for initial fixation, and then tighten it with bolts and nuts. Install the other two sets in the same way, so that the positioning protrusions are inserted into the original two sets of positioning grooves to enhance the sealing performance, prevent cold air from entering, and ensure the heat preservation effect.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a self-heating antifreeze water pipe protective sleeve, including two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 and a water pipe body 2. The two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the water pipe body 2. The self-heating protective sleeve 1 includes an installation groove 11, a heater 12 and a heat-conducting layer 13. The heater 12 and the heat-conducting layer 13 are both fixedly installed inside the installation groove 11. The heating rod of the heater 12 is arranged inside the heat-conducting layer 13. A heat-conducting plate 131 is fixedly bonded to the outside of the heat-conducting layer 13. The cross-section of the heat-conducting plate 131 is semi-circular. The heat-conducting plate 131 is attached to the outside of the water pipe body 2.
[0022] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. When heating and insulating the water pipe body 2, the heater 12 needs to be activated. The core component of the heater 12, the heating rod, generates heat energy after being energized. This heat is first conducted to the interior of the heat-conducting layer 13 to accumulate energy, and then directionally transferred to the internal cavity of the water pipe body 2 through the medium of the heat-conducting plate 131, thereby achieving temperature control of the water inside the pipe. This effectively avoids the risk of freezing in low-temperature environments and ensures that the water pipe body 2 can maintain a stable water supply function in harsh outdoor conditions. The heat-conducting layer 13 is made of insulating foam, whose porous structure has excellent heat adsorption and storage capacity, which can retain the heat energy generated by the heating rod to the maximum extent and reduce heat loss. The heat-conducting plate 131 is made of copper alloy material. This material not only achieves good corrosion resistance due to its chemical stability and can adapt to complex outdoor environments, but also relies on the inherent high thermal conductivity of metal to build an efficient heat conduction path, ensuring that heat is accurately and quickly applied to the water inside the water pipe body 2.
[0023] Example 2: Figure 1- Figure 4 As shown, the self-heating antifreeze water pipe protective sleeve of this utility model includes two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 and a water pipe body 2. The two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the water pipe body 2. The self-heating protective sleeve 1 includes a mounting groove 11, a heater 12, and a heat-conducting layer 13. The heater 12 and the heat-conducting layer 13 are both fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 11. The heating rod of the heater 12 is arranged inside the heat-conducting layer 13. A heat-conducting plate 131 is fixedly bonded to the outside of the heat-conducting layer 13. Auxiliary connecting plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting groove 11. Two auxiliary connecting plates 14 are connected in one mounting groove 11. A positioning groove 141 is provided on one side of the auxiliary connecting plate 14. In another mounting groove 11, a positioning strip 142 is fixedly connected to one side of the two auxiliary connecting plates 14. The positioning strip 142 is movably engaged inside the positioning groove 141. Two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 are fixedly connected by bolts. One end of the bolt moves through one end of two adjacent auxiliary connecting plates 14 and is threaded with a nut. Positioning plates 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of the mounting groove 11. A positioning groove 151 is provided on one side of one positioning plate 15, and a positioning protrusion 152 is fixedly connected to one side of the other positioning plate 15.
[0024] The overall effect of this embodiment is as follows: When assembling two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 onto the outside of the water pipe body 2, the operation steps are as follows: First, one set of self-heating protective sleeves 1 is tightly fitted to the outer surface of the water pipe body 2. Then, the other set of self-heating protective sleeves 1 is aligned and calibrated with the pre-fixed self-heating protective sleeves 1, so that the positioning strip 142 is movable and snapped into the positioning groove 141, thereby achieving the initial positioning and fixing of the two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1. Afterwards, the two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 are tightened by installing bolts and nuts to ensure that they are stably connected as one unit. After completing the above operations, the other two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 are fixedly assembled according to the same installation process. During the installation process, the positioning protrusion 152 at one end of the two newly added sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 needs to be precisely engaged into the positioning groove 151 at one end of the two previously installed sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1. This operation can effectively improve the overall sealing performance of the self-heating protective sleeve 1, and can block the intrusion of cold air from the outside into the gap between the water pipe body 2 and the self-heating protective sleeve 1, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the insulation system.
[0025] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: When heating and insulating the water pipe body 2, the heater 12 needs to be activated. The core component of the heater 12, the heating rod, generates heat energy after being energized. This heat is first conducted to the interior of the heat-conducting layer 13 to accumulate energy, and then, through the medium of the heat-conducting plate 131, it is directionally transferred to the internal cavity of the water pipe body 2 to achieve temperature control of the water inside the pipe.
[0026] When assembling two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 onto the outside of the water pipe body 2, the operation steps are as follows: First, tightly attach one set of self-heating protective sleeves 1 to the outer surface of the water pipe body 2. Then, align and calibrate the other set of self-heating protective sleeves 1 with the pre-fixed self-heating protective sleeves 1, so that the positioning strip 142 is movable and snapped into the positioning groove 141, thereby achieving the initial positioning and fixing of the two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1. Afterwards, tighten the two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 by installing bolts and nuts to ensure their stable connection as one unit. After completing the above operations, fix and assemble the other two sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 according to the same installation process. During the installation process, the positioning protrusion 152 at one end of the two newly added sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1 must be precisely engaged into the positioning groove 151 at one end of the two previously installed sets of self-heating protective sleeves 1.
[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
