Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection pool technology, and in particular to a collection pool heating device. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock and poultry manure is characterized by its large volume, diverse sources, and wide distribution. It easily emits foul odors and spreads bacteria and viruses. In autumn and winter, the temperature of livestock and poultry manure is low, and the organic liquid in the manure easily adheres to the inner surface of processing containers and connecting pipes, causing equipment to crust or become clogged, which will seriously affect subsequent processing procedures.

[0003] To address the above issues, existing technologies employ heating devices within the collection tank to heat the waste, preventing equipment blockage and ensuring optimal pretreatment temperatures for the wastewater.

[0004] The applicant has discovered that the existing technology has at least the following technical problems: the existing heating device has an unreasonable structure, dead corners, separation zones are easily formed when water flows through it, the flow rate is slow, and there is uneven heat distribution and heat waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heating device for a collection pool to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as unreasonable heating device structure, easy formation of separation zone, slow flow rate, and heat waste.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides a heating device for a collection tank, comprising a diverter seat, a manifold seat, a heat dissipation pipe, and a flow reduction component; wherein: The branching seat and the junction seat are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the heat source through flexible hoses; The heat dissipation pipes are multiple, with their two ends connected to the distributor and the junction box, respectively. Furthermore, all of the heat dissipation pipes are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the distributor or the junction box; The flow-reducing component is disposed at the connection between the heat dissipation pipe and the flow divider, and is used to open, reduce or close the internal channel of the heat dissipation pipe.

[0007] The heating device for the collection tank of this utility model can flexibly adjust the flow rate of each heat dissipation pipe by setting a flow reducing element at the connection between the heat dissipation pipe and the flow divider. When the heat dissipation pipe rotates to the top and is out of liquid level, the flow reducing element can be used to reduce the flow rate in that part of the heat dissipation pipe, thereby achieving precise control of the heating intensity of different areas and avoiding the problem of heat waste.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the flow-reducing component includes a gate, a hinge, and a torsion spring; wherein: The diversion seat is provided with a water outlet; The heat dissipation pipe is installed on the outside of the water outlet; One end of the hinge is connected to the outer wall of the diverter located on one side of the water outlet, and the other end of the hinge is connected to the gate plate placed inside the heat dissipation pipe. The torsion spring is mounted on the pivot of the hinge.

[0009] The rotation of the hinged joint causes the gate to swing inside the heat dissipation pipe, thereby adjusting the flow area of ​​the outlet. This design is simple and reliable. When the heat dissipation pipe rotates with the stirring component above the surface of the livestock manure, the flow rate of the corresponding pipe is closed or reduced, effectively reducing heat loss and improving thermal efficiency. Simultaneously, all heat dissipation pipes are evenly distributed along the circumference, and combined with flow regulation, dynamic balance in the heating process can be achieved, preventing localized overheating and improving heating uniformity.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the water outlet includes a first side and a second side along the rotation direction of the diverter seat, and the hinge is connected to the second side.

[0011] This arrangement allows the gate to automatically move towards the closing direction under the influence of gravity and the torsion of the torsion spring when it reaches the top of the diverter seat. When rotated to an inclined position above the center line of the diverter seat, it exhibits a closing tendency, reducing the flow area and thus automatically reducing water flow and heat loss when the heat dissipation pipe detaches from the liquid surface. This design cleverly combines gravity, fluid dynamics, and elasticity principles, achieving adaptive flow regulation without the need for additional drive devices, further improving energy efficiency. Simultaneously, the gate's closing tendency and rotation angle work together to ensure stable heat output during continuous operation, aligning with modern energy-saving and consumption-reducing engineering design concepts.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the thickness of the gate plate is a gradually changing structure with one side thin and the other side thick, including a thin end and a thick end; the thin end is connected to the hinge member.

[0013] The above structural design shifts the gate's center of gravity forward, away from the hinged end. This allows the gate to tend to move horizontally when tilted, closing the flow of the cooling pipes and further enhancing the gravitational effect on its closing action. When the cooling pipes rotate above the liquid surface, the gate automatically closes due to the forward shift of the center of gravity, increased gravitational torque, and the action of the torsion spring. This effectively reduces the outlet flow area, lowers the cooling water flow rate, and minimizes ineffective heat dissipation. When the cooling pipes return below the liquid surface with the equipment's rotation, the water pressure and gravity cause the gate to reopen, restoring the flow area and ensuring the cooling pipes are in full contact with the liquid medium for efficient heat exchange. This structure utilizes the coordinated control of center of gravity distribution and fluid pressure to improve gate opening and closing sensitivity, maintaining stable thermal management performance under dynamic rotation conditions and further optimizing energy-saving effects. It should be noted that the specifications of the torsion spring (torque) and the weight of the gate should be determined through comprehensive calculations considering fluid velocity, fluid pressure, and the potential energy of the gate's height. The goal is to ensure that the gate gradually closes the cooling pipe's inner cavity when it moves above the liquid level, and opens it again when it moves below the liquid level. Alternatively, an energy-intensive method can be used, such as an electrically controlled gate. This gate's opening and closing relies on a sensor to detect the current position of the cooling pipe. When the sensor detects that the cooling pipe is above the liquid level, it controls the gate to close. For example, a first position sensor can be installed on one side wall of the collection tank. When the cooling pipe reaches this position, it indicates that the liquid level is above, and a signal is sent to the electrically controlled gate to close it. A second position sensor can be installed on the other side of the collection tank. When the cooling pipe reaches the second position sensor, it indicates that the cooling pipe is about to enter below the liquid level, and the electrically controlled gate is then opened. This method also achieves the opening and closing function, but it consumes electricity.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner diameter of the heat dissipation pipe is larger than the diameter of the water outlet.

[0015] Through the above structural design, this utility model allows for the arrangement of gate plates and hinges on both sides of the water outlet.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner diameter of the gate is adapted to the inner diameter of the heat dissipation pipe.

[0017] The above structural design allows the gate to completely block the outlet.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat dissipation pipe is a U-shaped pipe with rounded corners.

[0019] The corners of the heat pipes are designed with rounded edges to avoid the formation of separation zones and reduce flow rate loss.

[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, heat dissipation fins are provided on the outer wall of the heat dissipation pipe.

[0021] By adding fins, heat dissipation can be increased, and the fins can also be used to achieve certain mixing and cutting effects.

[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat dissipation pipe includes a first section, a second section and a third section arranged in sequence; the heat dissipation fins are arranged on the second section.

[0023] By incorporating fins in the second section, which is always in contact with the liquid surface, heat dissipation can be further improved and targeted.

[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a collection pool and a driving assembly; the diverter seat and the manifold seat are movably mounted on the collection pool and located above the liquid level of the collection pool; the driving assembly is drivingly connected to the diverter seat and the manifold seat.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a heating device for a collection tank, including a diverter seat 1, a confluence seat 2, a heat dissipation pipe 3, and a flow reduction component; wherein: The distributor 1 and the manifold 2 are arranged opposite to each other and are connected to the heat source through hoses. Specifically, the distributor 1 is used to allow the hot water or heat medium supplied by the hoses to flow into multiple heat dissipation pipes 3, and the manifold 2 is used to collect the heat medium in all the heat dissipation pipes 3 and return it to the heat source through the hoses to form a circulation loop. The heat source can be any equipment that can provide hot water or heat medium, such as a boiler, heat pump or solar heating system. This utility model does not impose any specific limitations.

[0030] There are multiple heat pipes 3, with their two ends connected to the distributor 1 and the junction box 2, respectively. Furthermore, all heat dissipation pipes 3 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the distributor 1 or the junction 2; A flow-reducing component is installed at the connection between the heat pipe 3 and the flow divider 1 to open, reduce, or close the internal channel of the heat pipe 3.

[0031] The heating device for the collection tank of this utility model can flexibly adjust the flow rate of each heat dissipation pipe 3 by setting a flow reducing element at the connection between the heat dissipation pipe 3 and the diverter seat 1. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates to the top and is separated from the liquid level, the flow reducing element can be used to reduce the flow rate in that part of the heat dissipation pipe 3, thereby achieving precise control of the heating intensity of different areas and avoiding the problem of heat waste.

[0032] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the flow reduction component includes a gate plate 5, a hinge member 6, and a torsion spring; wherein: The diversion seat 1 is provided with a water outlet 31; Heat dissipation pipe 3 is installed on the outside of water outlet 31; One end of the hinge 6 is connected to the outer wall of the diverter seat 1 located on one side of the outlet 31, and the other end of the hinge 6 is connected to the gate 5 placed inside the heat dissipation pipe 3. A torsion spring is mounted on the pivot of hinge 6 to apply an elastic restoring force to the gate 5, keeping it closed under normal conditions. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates to the liquid-free zone, the gate 5 opens under the combined forces of gravity and fluid pressure. It should be noted that the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring should be much smaller than the weight of the gate 5, thus providing only a certain auxiliary force to ensure the gate 5 closes reliably at a specific angle. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates with the device into the working area, the medium pressure and the centrifugal force of rotation work together to overcome the torsion spring and gravity, pushing the gate 5 open and allowing the heat medium to flow smoothly into the heat dissipation pipe 3 below the liquid surface, thereby improving overall thermal efficiency.

[0033] It should be noted that the structures of hinge 6 and torsion spring are existing technologies, such as the torsion spring structure on many small hair clips.

[0034] The rotation of the hinge 6 causes the gate 5 to swing inside the heat dissipation pipe 3, thereby adjusting the flow area of ​​the outlet 31. This design is simple and reliable. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates with the stirring component above the surface of the livestock manure liquid, the flow rate of the corresponding heat dissipation pipe 3 is closed or reduced, effectively reducing heat loss and improving thermal energy utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, all the heat dissipation pipes 3 are evenly distributed along the circumference, and combined with flow rate adjustment, dynamic balance in the heating process can be achieved, avoiding localized overheating and improving heating uniformity.

[0035] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outlet 31 includes a first side and a second side along the rotation direction of the diverter seat 1, and the hinge 6 is connected to the second side.

[0036] This arrangement allows the gate 5 to automatically move towards the closing direction under the action of gravity and the torsion of the torsion spring when it moves to the top of the diverter seat 1. When it rotates to an inclined position above the center line of the diverter seat 1, it has a closing tendency, reducing the flow area. This automatically reduces water flow and heat loss when the heat dissipation pipe 3 leaves the liquid surface. This design cleverly combines gravity, fluid dynamics, and elasticity principles, achieving adaptive flow regulation without additional drive devices, further improving energy efficiency. At the same time, the closing tendency of the gate 5 and the rotation angle work together to ensure that the equipment maintains stable heat output during continuous operation, which conforms to the modern engineering design concept of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0037] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the gate 5 is a gradually changing structure with one side thin and the other side thick, including a thin end and a thick end; the thin end is connected to the hinge 6.

[0038] Through the above structural design, the center of gravity of the gate 5 is positioned forward, away from the hinged end. This allows it to tend to move horizontally when tilted, thus closing the passage of the heat dissipation pipe 3 and further enhancing the driving effect of gravity on the closing action of the gate 5. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates to the area above the liquid surface, the gate 5 automatically tends to close due to the forward shift of the center of gravity, the increase in gravitational torque, and the action of the torsion spring. This effectively reduces the flow area of ​​the outlet 31, lowers the cooling water flow rate, and reduces ineffective heat dissipation. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 rotates back below the liquid surface with the equipment, the water pressure and gravity cause the gate 5 to reopen, restoring the flow area and ensuring that the heat dissipation pipe 3 fully contacts the liquid medium for efficient heat exchange. This structure utilizes the coordinated control of the center of gravity distribution and fluid pressure to open and close the gate 5, improving response sensitivity and enabling the system to maintain stable thermal management performance under dynamic rotation conditions, further optimizing energy-saving effects. It should be noted that the specifications of the torsion spring (i.e., its torque) and the weight of the gate 5 should be determined after comprehensive calculations considering factors such as fluid velocity, fluid pressure, and the potential energy of the gate 5's height. The goal is to ensure that when the gate 5 moves above the liquid level, it gradually closes the inner cavity of the heat dissipation pipe 3, and when it moves below the liquid level, it opens the inner cavity of the heat dissipation pipe 3. Alternatively, an energy-consuming method can be used, such as an electrically controlled gate 5. The opening and closing of the electrically controlled gate 5 relies on a sensor to detect the current position of the heat dissipation pipe 3. When the sensor detects that the heat dissipation pipe 3 is above the liquid level, it controls the gate 5 to close. For example, a first position sensor can be installed on one side wall of the collection tank. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 moves to this position, it indicates that the liquid level is above, and a signal is sent to the electrically controlled gate 5 to close it. A second position sensor can be installed on the other side of the collection tank. When the heat dissipation pipe 3 reaches the position of the second position sensor, it indicates that the heat dissipation pipe 3 is about to enter below the liquid level, and the electrically controlled gate 5 is then opened. This method can also achieve the opening and closing function, but it requires power.

[0039] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner diameter of the heat dissipation pipe 3 is larger than the diameter of the water outlet 31.

[0040] Through the above structural design, this utility model provides space on both sides of the outlet 31 for arranging the gate plate 5 and the hinge member 6.

[0041] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner diameter of the gate 5 is adapted to the inner diameter of the heat dissipation pipe 3.

[0042] The above structural design allows the gate 5 to completely block the outlet 31.

[0043] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat dissipation pipe 3 is a U-shaped pipe with rounded corners.

[0044] The corners of heat pipe 3 are designed with rounded arcs to avoid the formation of separation zones and reduce flow rate loss.

[0045] As a further improvement of this utility model, heat dissipation fins 4 are provided on the outer wall of the heat dissipation pipe 3.

[0046] It should be noted that the fins 4 can be fixed to the outer wall of the heat sink 3 by welding, and the fins 4 can be made of metal plates in order to increase the contact area and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0047] By setting fins 4, the heat dissipation effect is increased, and fins 4 can also play a certain role in stirring and cutting.

[0048] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat dissipation pipe 3 includes a first section, a second section and a third section arranged in sequence; the heat dissipation fins 4 are arranged on the second section.

[0049] By setting fins 4 in the second section that is always in contact with the liquid surface, the heat dissipation effect is further improved and the heat dissipation is targeted.

[0050] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a collection pool and a drive assembly; the diverter seat 1 and the manifold seat 2 are movably mounted on the collection pool and located above the liquid level of the collection pool; the drive assembly is connected to the diverter seat 1 and the manifold seat 2 in a transmission connection.

[0051] It should be further noted that the structure of the drive component and the collection pool has not been improved this time. The existing structure can be used to achieve the desired result. It can drive the shunt seat 1 and the junction seat 2 to translate along the collection pool while the heat pipe 3 rotates around the center of the shunt seat 1 and the junction seat 2.
