Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household products technology, and in particular to an anti-condensation pipe, a heat exchange system and a mattress. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for sleep comfort and health increase, smart mattresses with temperature regulation functions are gradually being widely used. Among them, the mattress's heat exchange system is the core component for achieving temperature control. The heat exchange system delivers heat exchange medium through pipe loops, and by circulating low-temperature or high-temperature fluids, it achieves precise control of the mattress surface temperature, providing a cool sleeping interface in summer and a warm sleeping environment in winter.

[0003] During summer cooling operation, the low-temperature heat exchange medium flowing through the pipes causes the temperature of the pipe walls to drop below the dew point temperature of the ambient air. Water vapor in the air then condenses into liquid water on the pipe surface. If the system operates for extended periods or in environments with high humidity, condensate will continuously accumulate. This accumulated condensate provides an ideal breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms, not only producing unpleasant odors but also threatening the user's health. Furthermore, large amounts of condensate can soak the mattress filling material, causing deformation and even damaging the internal structure.

[0004] In existing technologies, some pipes employ a double-layer structure, with an additional pipe wrapped around the outer pipe and a gap between them. Water at a temperature higher than the heat exchange medium flows through this gap to heat the outer wall of the inner pipe, ensuring its temperature does not fall below the dew point. However, the heat from the water flow in the gap can partially offset the cooling capacity of the heat exchange medium in the inner pipe, failing to guarantee that the mattress surface reaches the expected low temperature, thus affecting its performance. Furthermore, if the water quality in the gap is not properly treated, it can easily breed microorganisms or produce scale, making cleaning inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-condensation pipe, a heat exchange system, and a mattress. The anti-condensation pipe can effectively reduce the generation of condensate or water mist and prevent condensate from damaging the surrounding structure.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, an anti-condensation pipe is provided, comprising a pipe body and an arc-shaped pipe disposed on the bottom side of the pipe body. The pipe body is used to transport a heat exchange medium, and the arc-shaped pipe and the outer wall of the pipe body form a transport channel. Gas is introduced into the transport channel, and the gas can blow out condensate or water mist from the lower surface of the pipe body.

[0008] As an optional solution for anti-condensation pipes, the arc-shaped pipe is fixed to the bottom side of the main pipe body by heat pressing.

[0009] As an optional solution for anti-condensation pipes, the maximum distance between the arc-shaped pipe and the bottom side of the main pipe body shall not be less than 5mm.

[0010] As an alternative to anti-condensation pipes, the main body of the pipe is made of corrosion-resistant material.

[0011] As an alternative to anti-condensation pipes, the arc-shaped pipe is made of a breathable material.

[0014] As an optional solution for the heat exchange system, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the output end of the medium supply component and the main body of the pipeline.

[0015] As an optional solution for the heat exchange system, a seal is provided at the connection between the output end of the gas supply component and the arc-shaped tube.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Firstly, such as Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides an anti-condensation pipe, including a pipe body 1 and an arc-shaped pipe 2 disposed on the bottom side of the pipe body 1. The pipe body 1 is used to transport the heat exchange medium. The arc-shaped pipe 2 and the outer wall of the pipe body 1 form a transport channel 21. Gas is introduced into the transport channel 21, which can blow out condensate or water mist on the lower surface of the pipe body 1, preventing condensate accumulation and avoiding condensate from wetting other surrounding components or structures. Since the arc-shaped pipe 2 is only disposed on the bottom side of the pipe body 1, it does not affect the heat exchange on the upper side of the pipe body 1, ensuring the full utilization of the heat exchange medium and guaranteeing a good heat exchange effect. At the same time, the flowing gas will not cause bacterial growth or scale formation, and will not have a negative impact on the user's health.

[0028] Specifically, when this anti-condensation pipe is used inside a mattress, condensation may occur on the outer periphery of the pipe body 1 during the transport of the heat exchange medium, and the rate of condensation is relatively slow. The upper side of the pipe body 1 is close to the human body and exchanges heat with it. Furthermore, the upper part of the pipe body 1 is covered with minimal material, mostly a single layer of fabric. The condensation on the upper side is easily absorbed by the covering material and quickly dissipates, preventing it from flowing along the outer wall of the pipe body 1 to the outer wall of the arc-shaped pipe 2, thus eliminating the problem of bacterial growth. The condensation or water mist generated on the lower side of the pipe body 1 is blown to the external environment by the gas introduced into the arc-shaped pipe 2.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the radius of the arc-shaped pipe 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe body 1, to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the arc-shaped pipe 2. Furthermore, the pipe body 1 and the arc-shaped pipe 2 are preferably made of flexible materials to facilitate the laying of anti-condensation pipes.

[0030] Optionally, the arc-shaped pipe 2 is fixed to the bottom side of the pipe body 1 by heat pressing. The heat pressing method enhances the connection strength between the arc-shaped pipe 2 and the pipe body 1, ensuring both connection stability and sealing. Furthermore, no additional connectors are required, resulting in a simple structure.

[0031] Optionally, the maximum distance between the arc-shaped pipe 2 and the bottom side of the pipe body 1 is not less than 5 mm, ensuring that the gas has sufficient flow space, thereby ensuring that the gas can blow out the condensate or water mist in a timely manner and prevent the large accumulation of condensate. For example, the inner diameter of the pipe body 1 is 10 mm or 15 mm; the maximum distance between the arc-shaped pipe 2 and the bottom side of the pipe body 1 is 5 mm.

[0032] Optionally, the pipe body 1 is made of a corrosion-resistant material to prevent the heat exchange medium from eroding the pipe body 1, avoid leakage of the heat exchange medium inside the pipe body 1, and extend the service life of the pipe body 1. Specifically, the pipe body 1 is preferably made of a material that is resistant to low temperatures and chemical corrosion, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

[0033] Optionally, the arc-shaped tube 2 is made of a breathable material. This breathable material allows gas to flow slowly within the delivery channel 21, preventing excessive pressure within the channel from causing the arc-shaped tube 2 to crack, or excessive pressure from causing deformation. Specifically, the arc-shaped tube 2 is preferably made of a material with certain strength and breathability, such as a special high-molecular-weight breathable material. It should be noted that the aforementioned special high-molecular-weight material is a material already existing in the prior art, and its specific composition is described in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0034] Secondly, this embodiment also provides a heat exchange system, which includes a medium supply component, a gas supply component, and the aforementioned anti-condensation pipe. The output end of the medium supply component is connected to the pipe body 1 to supply heat exchange medium into the pipe body 1; the output end of the gas supply component is connected to the conveying channel 21 to supply gas into the conveying channel 21. This heat exchange system possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned anti-condensation pipe, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Specifically, the medium supply assembly includes a receiving tank, a temperature regulating component, and a conveying mechanism. The receiving tank stores the heat exchange medium, the temperature regulating component heats or cools the heat exchange medium, and the heated or cooled heat exchange medium is conveyed to the pipeline body 1 via the conveying mechanism. The heat exchange medium flowing out of the pipeline body 1 can be stored in another receiving tank or directly returned to the receiving tank, realizing the recycling of the heat exchange medium. For example, the heat exchange medium is water, the conveying mechanism is a conventional water pump, and the temperature regulating component is a conventional device in the prior art capable of heating and cooling the heat exchange medium. Its specific structure and principle are the same as those in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The gas supply assembly includes a gas pump, the output of which is connected to the inlet of the arc-shaped pipe 2 to supply gas into the delivery channel 21.

[0037] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the output end of the medium supply component and the main body of the pipeline 1 to ensure the sealing performance of the connection and prevent leakage of the heat exchange medium. A seal is provided at the connection between the output end of the gas supply component and the arc-shaped pipe 2 to ensure that all the supplied gas can enter the delivery channel 21 and prevent gas leakage.

[0038] Optionally, the heat exchange system also includes a control component. The medium supply component and the gas supply component are both connected to the control component. The control component can control the temperature of the heat exchange medium and the flow rate of the gas to achieve temperature regulation of the heat exchange medium and ensure timely discharge of condensate. Specifically, the temperature control element and the water pump are both connected to the control component. The control component is an existing controller with corresponding control programs programmed onto it. The specific structure, principle, and related control programs of the controller are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0039] Thirdly, a mattress is provided, including a mattress body and the aforementioned heat exchange system, which possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned heat exchange system, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The anti-condensation pipes on the mattress body can be arranged in a serpentine pattern. This serpentine arrangement significantly increases the length of the anti-condensation pipes, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the serpentine pattern allows for a uniform and dense distribution of the anti-condensation pipes, ensuring heat exchange in every area of ​​the mattress body. For example, in this embodiment, the anti-condensation pipes are arranged more densely around the waist and abdomen to enhance comfort.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
