Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of ventilation equipment, and in particular to a highly adaptable air duct. Background Technology

[0002] Air ducts are piping systems used for air transport and distribution, widely used in buildings, industry, and air conditioning systems. Their main uses include: air transport (such as supply air, return air, fresh air intake, and exhaust air), temperature control (in conjunction with air conditioning or heating systems), purification and filtration (reducing dust and pollutants), and in industrial applications for dust removal, fume extraction, and bulk material transport.

[0003] In related technologies, one can refer to Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN218378349U, which discloses a composite air duct, including: an outer pipe, both ends of which are provided with outwardly extending mounting rings, and mounting holes are evenly provided on the mounting rings; an inner pipe, which is disposed inside the inner pipe; and a reinforcing device, which is disposed outside the outer pipe. The reinforcing device includes a support structure and a reinforcing structure. The support structure is disposed inside the inner pipe and extends through to the outer pipe, and the reinforcing structure is disposed outside the outer pipe and is used to reinforce the outer pipe.

[0004] In the actual manufacturing process of air ducts, the cross-sectional shape of the duct usually needs to be customized according to the actual installation requirements. Some ducts, like the ones mentioned above, have rectangular cross-sections, while others have circular cross-sections. Generally, circular ducts have lower airflow resistance and are suitable for long-distance air delivery, but they occupy more space; while rectangular ducts are easier to embed in walls or ceilings, saving installation space and are the most widely used in engineering applications. Therefore, when selecting and installing ducts in a given scenario, it is often necessary to comprehensively consider the performance of both shapes and sizes, as ducts with a single cross-sectional shape have limited applicability to different scenarios.
