Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water supply and drainage engineering technology, and in particular to a water supply and drainage pipe antifreeze device. Background Technology

[0002] In cold regions during winter, the threat of freezing to water supply and drainage pipes far exceeds the tolerance of ordinary insulation methods. The insulation material wrapping method widely used in existing technologies has obvious limitations. These materials mostly rely on the principle of static heat insulation. When the outside temperature is consistently below -10℃, the rate of heat loss will accelerate sharply, causing the water temperature inside the pipe to drop rapidly to the freezing point. This makes it difficult to cope with the low temperatures that can last for several weeks in the frigid northern regions.

[0003] The method of manually pouring hot water for freeze protection is not only inefficient but also harbors multiple hidden dangers. This method requires frequent manual operation, which can easily lead to gaps in protection at night or during periods of unattended operation, resulting in freezing accidents. At the same time, the drastic temperature difference generated when hot water comes into contact with low-temperature pipes can cause stress fatigue in the pipes due to thermal expansion and contraction, and repeated operation over a long period of time will significantly shorten the service life of the pipes. In addition, the poured hot water will cool down rapidly in low-temperature environments, and may even form an ice layer on the surface of the pipes, which will exacerbate the risk of freezing and blockage. Especially in outdoor exposed pipes or shallowly buried pipe networks, this passive freeze protection method often fails completely in extreme weather conditions, making it impossible to guarantee the normal operation of the water supply and drainage system.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of an antifreeze device for water supply and drainage pipes provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the water tank structure of an antifreeze device for water supply and drainage pipes provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The antifreeze device includes a water supply and drainage pipe body 1, which is protected from freezing by an antifreeze component 2. The antifreeze component 2 includes: a water tank 201, one side of which is connected to the first end of an input pipe 208, and the other side of which is connected to the second end of an output pipe 209. A set of heating blocks 203 are provided inside the water tank, and a microcontroller 213 is mounted on its outer surface; and a pump 207, the input end of which is connected to the second end of the input pipe 208, and the output end of which is connected to the first end of the output pipe 209. The pump is electrically connected to the microcontroller 213. The output pipe 209 is wound around the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 and is divided into a front half and a rear half. The rear half of the output pipe 209 is also provided with a secondary heating component electrically connected to the microcontroller 213 to ensure the stability of the antifreeze effect.

[0024] In this embodiment, the water stored in the tank is initially heated by the internal heating block, then drawn in by a pump controlled by a microcontroller through an input pipe and transported through an output pipe. The output pipe, wound around the water supply and drainage pipe body, heats the pipe body through heat transfer. To avoid heat loss affecting the antifreeze effect, a secondary heating component is added to the latter half of the output pipe, uniformly controlled by the microcontroller, forming a progressive heating process of initial heating, circulating heat transfer, and secondary reheating. This ensures uniform heating of the water supply and drainage pipe body throughout the process, maintaining stable insulation of the medium within the pipe body even in low-temperature environments, thus achieving precise antifreeze protection for the water supply and drainage pipe. It is understood that the antifreeze component 2 is powered by an external power source.

[0025] Figure 2 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the secondary heating component of an exemplary embodiment of the water supply and drainage pipe antifreeze device of the present invention. The secondary heating component includes: a temperature monitor 210, which is installed on the output pipe 209, with its monitoring head extending into the output pipe 209 for monitoring the water temperature in the latter half of the output pipe 209; and heating wires 212, a plurality of heating wires 212 being evenly spaced along the circumference of the output pipe 209, with the heating end of the heating wire 212 extending into the output pipe 209 to perform secondary heating of the water in the latter half of the output pipe 209. The heating wires 212 are fixed to the peripheral wall of the output pipe 209 by insulating mounting blocks 211 to avoid direct contact with the peripheral wall of the output pipe 209.

[0026] In this embodiment, a temperature monitor is inserted into the pipe to capture real-time water temperature changes, and the data is synchronously fed back to the microcontroller. Heating wires, evenly distributed around the circumference of the output pipe, directly act on the water flow inside the pipe, rapidly increasing the water temperature and compensating for heat transfer losses in the first half. An insulating mounting block isolates the heating wires from the pipe wall, preventing unnecessary heat loss to the pipe wall and preventing the circuit from forming a conductive path with the pipe, ensuring heating efficiency and electrical safety.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The water tank 201 is also equipped with a temperature detector 204 electrically connected to the microcontroller 213 for detecting the water temperature inside the water tank 201. A control panel 214 electrically connected to the microcontroller 213 is also installed on the outer surface of the water tank 201. A temperature display 205 electrically connected to the microcontroller 213 is also installed on the outer surface of the water tank 201.

[0028] In this embodiment, a temperature detector monitors the water temperature in the tank in real time, and the data is transmitted to the microcontroller to ensure that the initial heating temperature meets the standard. The control panel allows users to set parameters such as temperature thresholds, and the commands are converted into execution signals by the microcontroller to adjust the working status of the heating block. The temperature display visually presents the real-time water temperature, allowing users to intuitively understand the tank's operating status.

[0029] For more details, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The outer side of the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 is also wrapped with protective cotton 215. It can be understood that the protective cotton 215 also wraps the output pipe 209 wrapped around the water supply and drainage pipe body 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the protective cotton is asbestos insulation material. The asbestos material is wrapped around the outside of the water supply and drainage pipe body, which can reduce the heat exchange between the pipe body and the external environment, slow down the temperature loss inside the pipe, and work synergistically with the active heating of the antifreeze component to further block the impact of low temperature on the pipe and improve the overall antifreeze reliability.

[0031] Furthermore, a water inlet 202 is also provided on the water tank 201. A protective frame 206 is also provided on the outer perimeter of the water tank 201, and the pump 207 is installed on the protective frame 206.

[0032] In this embodiment, the water inlet facilitates the replenishment of water to the water tank, and the protective frame surrounds the outer perimeter of the water tank, providing a stable mounting carrier for the pump and forming physical protection for the water tank, reducing external collisions and improving the overall safety and durability of the device.

[0033] Next, the working principle of the antifreeze device for water supply and drainage pipes involved in the embodiments of this utility model will be explained.

[0034] First, inject sufficient water into the water tank 201 through the water inlet 202 to ensure that the liquid level meets the circulation requirements; Then the heating block 203 is activated to initially heat the water in the water tank 201; During the heating process, the temperature detector 204 continuously monitors the water temperature, and the real-time data is synchronously transmitted to the temperature display 205, so that the operator can intuitively grasp the heating progress. When the water temperature in the water tank 201 rises to the preset threshold, the operator sends a start command to the microcontroller 213 through the control panel 214, and the pump 207 starts running. Its input end draws hot water from the water tank 201 through the input pipe 208, and then delivers it to the pipeline wrapped around the surface of the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 through the output pipe 209. When hot water flows in the output pipe 209, it first preheats the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 through the first half. When the water flows to the second half, the temperature monitor 210 detects the water temperature in the pipe. If the water temperature is lower than the set standard due to heat loss, the microcontroller 213 immediately triggers the heating wire 212 to work. The heating wire 212 quickly releases heat to reheat the water flow, ensuring that the hot water temperature on the surface of the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 remains constant throughout the entire process. Combined with the heat preservation effect of the outer protective cotton 215, it continuously and efficiently prevents the water supply and drainage pipe body 1 from freezing, ensuring a stable and reliable effect.

[0035] In summary, the water supply and drainage pipe body of this technical solution is protected against freezing by an antifreeze component. The antifreeze component includes a water tank, one side of which is connected to the first end of the input pipe, and the other side of which is connected to the second end of the output pipe. Inside the tank is a set of heating blocks, and a microcontroller is mounted on its outer surface. A pump is also included, with its input end connected to the second end of the input pipe and its output end connected to the first end of the output pipe, and it is electrically connected to the microcontroller. The output pipe is wound around the water supply and drainage pipe body and is divided into a front section and a rear section. The rear section of the output pipe also has a secondary heating component electrically connected to the microcontroller. In this configuration, the coordinated use of the antifreeze component and the water supply and drainage pipe body significantly improves the stability of the antifreeze effect, effectively prevents the medium inside the pipe from freezing, and ensures the normal operation of the water supply and drainage system.
