[0066] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, a glass liner assembly is disclosed, including a glass liner component and a clamping support component.

[0068] The glass liner assembly includes a glass liner assembly, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, it includes a glass inner liner body 110, on which an opening end 111 and a closed end 112 are formed.

[0069] The clamping support assembly includes a first support assembly 210, a second support member 220, and a clamping assembly 230. A first positioning part 211 is formed on the first support assembly 210, and a second positioning part 221 is formed on the second support member 220. The first positioning part 211 is configured to position the end 111 of the inner glass liner, and the second positioning part 221 is configured to position the closed end 112. When the end 111 of the inner glass liner is installed in the first positioning part 211 and the closed end 112 is installed in the second positioning part 221, the clamping assembly 230 is configured to connect the first support assembly 210 and the second support member 220, and the first support assembly 210 and the second support member 220 are clamped at both ends of the glass inner liner body 110.

[0070] The first positioning part 211 of the first support component 210 is positioned and connected to the liner end 111 of the glass liner body 110, and the second positioning part 221 of the second support component 220 is positioned and connected to the closed end 112 of the glass liner body 110. Then, the clamping component 230 is connected to the first support component 210 and the second support component 220 respectively, so that the first support component 210 and the second support component 220 are clamped outside the glass liner body 110, thereby realizing the installation of the glass liner body 110.

[0071] Since the glass inner liner body 110 is made of glass, a buffer section is provided to prevent the liner opening 111 from colliding with the first positioning part 211 and causing damage to the liner opening 111, and also to prevent the closed end 112 from colliding with the second positioning part 221 and causing damage to the closed end 112. The buffer section includes a first buffer component 310 and a second buffer component 320. The first buffer component 310 is connected between the liner opening 111 and the first positioning part 211. The second buffer component 320 is connected between the closed end 112 and the second positioning part 221.

[0072] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the first buffer component 310 is configured to connect between the first positioning part 211 and the end 111 of the biliary duct, and plays a role in buffering and positioning the end 111 of the biliary duct.

[0073] The second buffer component 320 is configured to connect between the second positioning part 221 and the closed end 112, and plays a role in buffering and positioning the closed end 112.

[0074] The first support component 210 includes a support plate 212 at the end of the bladder opening.

[0075] The second support component 220 includes a closed-end support plate 222.

[0076] The clamping assembly 230 includes a plurality of first fastening assemblies. The two ends of the first fastening assemblies are respectively connected between the inlet end support plate 212 and the closed end support plate 222. One end of the plurality of first fastening assemblies is connected to the inlet end support plate 212 at intervals along the circumference, and the other end of the plurality of first fastening assemblies is connected to the closed end support plate 222 at intervals along the circumference.

[0077] Since multiple first fastening components are spaced apart along the circumference of the liner end support plate 212 and the circumference of the closed end support plate 222, the clamping force of the clamping component 230 is evenly applied to the circumference of the liner end support plate 212 and the circumference of the closed end support plate 222, thereby making the glass liner assembly stably clamped between the first support component 210 and the second support component 220.

[0078] The first fastening assembly includes a first nut 231 and a first bolt 232.

[0079] Correspondingly, a plurality of third connecting holes 2221 are provided circumferentially at intervals on the closed end support plate 222. A plurality of fourth connecting holes 2124 are provided circumferentially at intervals on the inlet end support plate 212.

[0080] The first bolt 232 passes through the third connecting hole 2221 and the fourth connecting hole 2124 in sequence and is then threadedly connected to the first nut 231.

[0081] The axis of the first bolt 232 is parallel to the axis of the glass inner liner body 110. This avoids interference between the first bolt 232 and the glass inner liner body 110.

[0082] The glass inner liner body 110 is stably clamped between the support plate 212 at the liner opening and the support plate 222 at the closed end.

[0083] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, in order for the first positioning part 211 to position the end 111 of the bladder, the first positioning part 211 is a first annular groove formed on the first support assembly 210. The end 111 of the bladder is inserted into the first annular groove, thereby achieving the positioning of the end 111 of the bladder.

[0084] In order for the second positioning part 221 to position the closed end 112, the second positioning part 221 is a first receiving groove formed on the second support member 220.

[0085] The closed end 112 can be accommodated in the first receiving groove.

[0086] The first receiving groove and the closed end 112 are designed in the same shape.

[0087] The first buffer component 310 is connected between the first annular groove and the end 111 of the bladder. Therefore, the first buffer component 310 can be designed as an annular buffer component, and a second annular groove 311 is provided on the annular buffer component.

[0088] With the annular buffer component installed in the first receiving groove, the inner end 111 is inserted into the second annular groove 311, and the annular buffer component plays a role in damping shock.

[0089] Meanwhile, the annular buffer component can also serve as a seal between the inlet end 111 and the first support component 210.

[0090] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the second buffer component 320 is connected between the first receiving groove and the closed end 112. Therefore, the second buffer component 320 can be designed as a shock-absorbing layer. The shock-absorbing layer is designed in the same shape as the first receiving groove, and a second receiving groove 321 is formed on the shock-absorbing layer. The shock-absorbing layer extends along the first receiving groove, and the closed end 112 abuts against the second receiving groove 321.

[0091] In some embodiments of this application, the first support assembly 210 further includes an inner flange 213 and a connecting assembly 214.

[0092] The inner flange 213 is used to install the electric heating assembly.

[0094] The inner flange 213 is connected to the mounting hole 2121 via the connecting assembly 214.

[0095] The connection assembly 214 includes a plurality of second fastening assemblies. The plurality of second fastening assemblies are arranged circumferentially spaced along the inner flange 213 to achieve a tight connection between the inner flange 213 and the mounting hole 2121.

[0096] like Figure 9 As shown, the second fastening assembly includes a second nut 2141 and a second bolt 2142.

[0097] Multiple first connecting holes 2131 are circumferentially spaced on the inner liner flange 213, and multiple second connecting holes 2122 are circumferentially spaced around the mounting holes 2121 on the liner end support plate 212. A second bolt 2142 passes through the second connecting holes 2122 and the first connecting holes 2131 in sequence and is then threadedly connected to a second nut 2141. This achieves the connection between the liner end support plate 212 and the inner liner flange 213.

[0098] The first annular groove is provided on one side of the end support plate 212 and near the glass inner liner body 110. On the other side of the end support plate 212, a folding connecting plate 2123 is formed around the mounting hole 2121, and a plurality of second connecting holes 2122 are spaced around the folding connecting plate 2123.

[0099] A receiving area is formed between the folding connecting plate 2123 and the end support plate 212 of the bladder opening, and one end of the second bolt 2142 is received within the receiving area.

[0100] To facilitate the installation of the second bolt 2142 relative to the support plate 212 at the end of the bladder opening, the second connecting hole 2122 passes through the edge of the support plate 212 at the end of the bladder opening. The second bolt 2142 can be installed into the receiving area through the second connecting hole 2122. The other end of the second bolt 2142, that is, the end with threads, passes through the second connecting hole 2122, passes through the first connecting hole 2131, and is threadedly connected to the second nut 2141.

[0101] Both the inlet support plate 212 and the closed end support plate 222 can be circular plates. The inlet support plate 212, the folding connecting plate 2123, the closed end support plate 222, and the mounting hole 2121 are arranged to coincide with the axis of the glass inner liner body 110, and are defined as the first axis.

[0102] Multiple first fastening components are arranged at circumferential intervals along the support plate 212 at the inlet. The multiple first fastening components are distributed on the same circumference, and the circumference on which the multiple first fastening components are distributed is defined as the first circumference.

[0103] Multiple second fastening components are spaced apart circumferentially along the folded connecting plate 2123. The multiple second fastening components are distributed on the same circumference, and the circumference on which the multiple second fastening components are distributed is defined as the second circumference.

[0104] The first and second circles are set concentrically, and both the first and second circles are located on the first axis.

[0105] During the assembly of the glass liner assembly, the annular buffer component is installed in the first annular groove, the shock-absorbing layer extends along the first receiving groove, the liner opening 111 is inserted into the second annular groove 311, the closed end 112 abuts against the second receiving groove 321, and the first bolt 232 passes through the third connecting hole 2221 and the fourth connecting hole 2124 in sequence before being threaded into the first nut 231. By tightening the first nut 231, the glass liner body 110 is clamped between the liner opening support plate 212 and the closed end support plate 222, thereby completing the installation of the glass liner body 110.

[0106] During the assembly of the electric heating component, the electric heating component is first installed on the inner flange 213. Then, the electric heating component is inserted into the glass inner liner body 110 through the mounting hole 2121 until the inner flange 213 abuts against the folding connecting plate 2123, or a gasket is installed between the folding connecting plate 2123 and the inner flange 213. The second bolt 2142 is then passed through the second connecting hole 2122 and the first connecting hole 2131 in sequence and threadedly connected to the second nut 2141. By tightening the second nut 2141, the inner flange 213 is connected to the glass inner liner body 110.

[0107] In some embodiments of this application, the first buffer component 310 is made of silicone, and the second buffer component 320 is made of silicone.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the glass inner liner body 110 is made of borosilicate glass, high borosilicate glass, inorganic glass, or organic glass.

[0109] By providing a first positioning part 211 on the first support assembly 210 and a second positioning part 221 on the second support component 220, the opening end 111 is positioned by the first positioning part 211 and the closed end 112 is positioned by the second positioning part 221. With the first support assembly 210 installed at the opening end 111 and the second support component 220 installed at the closed end 112, the clamping assembly 230 is connected between the first support assembly 210 and the second support component 220, applying force to the first support assembly 210 and the second support component 220 to clamp the glass liner body 110 between the first support assembly 210 and the second support component 220, thereby realizing the installation of the glass liner assembly.

[0110] The glass inner liner, made of glass, solves the problems of existing technologies where the inner liner is made entirely of metal or has a plastic liner with an outer fiber covering, resulting in weak corrosion resistance and poor resistance to dirt adhesion. The glass inner liner has strong corrosion resistance and dirt adhesion resistance, and is less likely to cause secondary damage to the glass inner liner during cleaning, thus improving product quality. Furthermore, using glass for the inner liner allows for visibility of its contents.
