Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage device technology, and in particular relates to a storage rack for a solar vacuum tube collector. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure better heat reception, solar vacuum tube collectors are designed as glass tubes, which result in lower overall strength and susceptibility to damage from impacts. Therefore, when storing vacuum tube collectors, it is necessary to keep them stable. Most current storage racks are simply shelves with added foam boards to achieve stability, but this is still inconvenient to use.
[0003] First, existing storage racks lack adaptability to accommodate vacuum tubes of different lengths when storing vacuum tube collectors, and are not convenient to retrieve and place, resulting in poor adaptability and practicality of the storage racks. Secondly, one end of the vacuum tube collector is open and contains metal components. Existing storage racks lack the ability to seal the open end when storing vacuum tube collectors, and also lack the ability to keep the open end of the vacuum tube collector continuously dry. As a result, the metal components inside the open end of the vacuum tube collector are prone to corrosion and damage. Finally, when the existing storage rack is not storing vacuum tube collectors, the drying components will continue to be in contact with the outside air, which will lead to the rapid decomposition of the internal desiccant and thus affect the drying effect when storing vacuum tube collectors. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a storage rack for solar vacuum tube collectors. Through the arrangement of components such as sliding blocks, the distance between the rotating block and the sliding block can be adjusted by sliding the sliding blocks within the long groove, thereby enabling the clamping and storage of vacuum tube collectors of different lengths.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a storage rack for a solar vacuum tube collector, comprising a storage rack, wherein multiple sliding plates are slidably arranged inside the storage rack, each sliding plate has multiple elongated grooves on its upper surface, a rotating block is rotatably arranged inside one end of each elongated groove, an elastic snap-fit component is detachably arranged at one end of each rotating block, a sliding block is slidably arranged inside the elongated groove on one side of each rotating block, and an installation slot is provided on one side wall of each sliding block.
[0006] Optionally, each of the sliding blocks has a sliding groove on the inner sidewall of the long groove on both sides, and a damping slider is slidably disposed inside each sliding groove. Each damping slider is fixedly connected to the sidewall of its adjacent sliding block.
[0007] Optionally, each of the elongated slots has an arc-shaped support slider slidably disposed inside, and the two ends of each arc-shaped support slider are slidably connected to the sliding slots on both sides of it.
[0008] Optionally, each of the arc-shaped support sliders has a groove on its two opposite sidewalls, and an arc-shaped limiting block is rotatably disposed inside each groove. Multiple second springs are connected between every two adjacent grooves and arc-shaped limiting blocks.
[0009] Optionally, the elastic snap-fit assembly includes a first snap-fit groove frame disposed on one side of the rotating block, each of the first snap-fit groove frames being threadedly connected to its adjacent rotating block, each of the first snap-fit groove frames having a fixing ring groove member elastically slidably disposed on its outer side, and each of the fixing ring groove members having a third limiting ring member disposed on its outer circular surface.
[0010] Optionally, each of the fixed ring grooves has a first limiting ring on its inner circular surface, each of the first limiting rings has a circular groove on one side wall, each of the circular grooves has a fourth limiting ring on its outer surface relative to the inner circular surface of the first snap-fit frame, each of the fourth limiting rings is slidably sealed to its adjacent circular groove, each of the fourth limiting rings has a second limiting ring on one side of its outer circular surface relative to the circular groove, and a first spring is provided between every two adjacent first limiting rings and fourth limiting rings.
[0011] Optionally, each of the second limiting rings has multiple first vent holes on its end face, each of the circular grooves has multiple third vent holes on its outer circumferential surface, and each of the fixing ring grooves has multiple second vent holes on its spherical arc surface. Optionally, each of the first snap-fit slot frames is provided with a breathable mesh inside, and a desiccant is provided on one side of each breathable mesh inside the first snap-fit slot frame.
[0012] Optionally, each of the fixed ring grooves is provided with an anti-slip ring pad on its outer arc surface.
[0013] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: (1) By setting up components such as sliding block, sliding groove and damping slider, this utility model can adjust the distance between rotating block and sliding block by adjusting the sliding block inside the long groove, thereby forming a snap-fit storage for vacuum tube collectors of different lengths, effectively increasing the adaptability of the storage rack. (2) By setting up the first snap-fit groove frame, the fixed ring groove and the first spring and other components, this utility model can snap-fit and store one end of the vacuum tube collector, while also forming an elastic compression between the rotating block and the sliding block of the vacuum tube collector, further improving the storage stability of the vacuum tube collector. At the same time, by setting up the rotating block and other components, it is convenient to take out and place the vacuum tube collector. (3) By setting up components such as the second limiting ring, the first vent hole and the third vent hole, this utility model can block multiple first vent holes by squeezing and sealing between the fourth limiting ring and the second limiting ring when there is no vacuum tube collector stored inside the long groove, thereby isolating the desiccant inside the first snap-fit groove frame from the outside air and increasing the service life of the desiccant.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1:
[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a storage rack for a solar vacuum tube collector includes a storage rack 10. Multiple sliding plates 11 are slidably arranged inside the storage rack 10. Each sliding plate 11 is slidably engaged with the storage rack 10 via a conventional slide rail structure. Each sliding plate 11 has a handle 35 on one side wall. When storing or retrieving the vacuum tube collector, each handle 35 can be pulled to extend the sliding plate 11 outwards, facilitating the retrieval and storage of the vacuum tube. Each sliding plate 11 has multiple elongated grooves 12 on its upper surface. A rotating block 14 is rotatably mounted inside one end of each elongated groove 12. Each rotating block 14 has a detachable elastic locking component at one end. Each rotating block 14 has a sliding block 25 slidably mounted inside the elongated groove 12 on one side. Each sliding block 25 has an installation slot 28 on one side wall. The installation slot 28 is designed according to the shape and size of the glass end of the vacuum tube collector; the specific shape is not limited, but one end must be open to allow for smooth insertion of the vacuum tube collector. When storing multiple vacuum tube collectors, first pull out the sliding plate 11 horizontally, then rotate each rotating block 14. The rotating block 14 drives the elastic snap-fit component on one side to rotate. Then, snap the open end of the vacuum tube collector onto the outside of the elastic snap-fit component. Then, by rotating the sealed end of the vacuum tube collector, the rotating block 14 and other components will rotate until the sealed end of the vacuum tube collector is snapped into the inside of the adjacent mounting slot 28. The above operation, by first sealing and snapping the open end of the vacuum tube collector, can form a pre-fixation of the vacuum tube collector, which makes it more stable and safe when snapping the other end later. The overall operation is simple and convenient.
[0018] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, each sliding block 25 has a sliding groove 26 on both sides of the inner wall of the long groove 12. A damping slider 27 is slidably disposed inside each sliding groove 26. Each damping slider 27 is fixedly connected to the side wall of its adjacent sliding block 25. When storing vacuum tube collectors of different lengths in the storage rack, the sliding block 25 can be adjusted within the long groove 12 according to the length of the vacuum tube collector, thereby ensuring that the distance between the rotating block 14 and the sliding block 25 matches the storage length of the vacuum tube collector. After the horizontal position of the sliding block 25 inside the long groove 12 is adjusted, the position of the sliding block 25 inside the long groove 12 can be fixed by the damping force between the damping slider 27 and the sliding groove 26. It should be noted that the contact position between the damping slider 27 and the sliding groove 26 will be appropriately roughened, so the friction between the two is greater than the elastic support force of the elastic snap-fit component on the vacuum tube collector, thereby ensuring the squeezing and snapping of the vacuum tube collector between the sliding block 25 and the rotating block 14, forming a stable storage of the vacuum tube collector.
[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic snap-fit assembly includes a first snap-fit slot frame 15 disposed on one side of the rotating block 14, and each first snap-fit slot frame 15 is adjacent to the rotating block 14. The threaded connection between the first snap-fit slot frame 15 and the rotating block 14 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of components such as the first snap-fit slot frame 15. Each first snap-fit slot frame 15 is elastically slidably provided with a fixing ring groove 16. The fixing ring groove 16 is hollow in shape, with one end being hemispherical and the other end being ring-shaped. The fixing ring groove 16 can form a snap-fit seal on one end of the vacuum tube collector opening. At the same time, it can also be selected and replaced according to the internal diameter of the vacuum tube collector opening. Each fixing ring groove 16 has a third limiting ring 23 on its outer circular surface. The third limiting ring 23 can limit the snap-fit depth of the fixing ring groove 16 at the vacuum tube collector opening, thereby forming a compression and limiting fixation of the vacuum tube collector between the fixing ring groove 16 and the sliding block 25.
[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, each fixed ring groove 16 has a first limiting ring 17 on its inner circular surface, and a circular groove 18 on one side wall of each first limiting ring 17. A fourth limiting ring 37 is provided on the outer surface of each circular groove 18, adjacent to the inner circular surface of the first snap-fit frame 15. Each fourth limiting ring 37 is slidably sealed to its adjacent circular groove 18. A second limiting ring 19 is provided on one side of the outer circular surface of each fourth limiting ring 37. The arrangement of the second limiting ring 19 and the fourth limiting ring 37 forms a sliding limit between the first snap-fit frame 15 and the fixed ring groove 16. Each pair of rings... A first spring 21 is provided between the first limiting ring 17 and the fourth limiting ring 37. Through the elastic tension of the first spring 21, it can provide elastic support between the second limiting ring 19 and the fourth limiting ring 37, thereby forming elastic support between the first snap-fit slot frame 15 and the fixed ring slot 16. When the vacuum tube collector is snapped and stored between the fixed ring slot 16 and the sliding block 25, the elastic tension of the first spring 21 can form an elastic compression snap-fit between the vacuum tube collector and the sliding block 25, further improving the snap-fit and fixing stability of the vacuum tube collector inside each long slot 12.
[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, each second limiting ring 19 has multiple first vent holes 20 on its end face, each circular groove 18 has multiple third vent holes 24 on its outer circular surface, each fixed ring groove 16 has multiple second vent holes 22 on its spherical arc surface, each first snap-fit groove frame 15 has a breathable mesh 38 inside, and each breathable mesh 38 has a desiccant on one side inside the first snap-fit groove frame 15.
[0022] Specifically, the permeable mesh 38 can fix the desiccant to the bottom surface of the first snap-fit slot frame 15, preventing the desiccant from moving between the first snap-fit slot frame 15 and the circular groove 18, thus hindering the sliding between the first snap-fit slot frame 15 and the circular groove 18. Simultaneously, when no vacuum tube collector is snapped into the long groove 12, the elastic tension of the first spring 21 forms a compression seal between the second limiting ring 19 and the fourth limiting ring 37, thereby sealing and blocking the multiple first vent holes 20. This creates a sealed isolation between the desiccant inside the first snap-fit slot frame 15 and the external air. When one end of the vacuum tube collector's opening is snapped into the outside of the fixing ring groove 16, forming a seal against the external air... When one end of the fixed ring groove 16 is squeezed, relative sliding occurs between the fixed ring groove 16 and the first snap-fit frame 15. At this time, the second limiting ring 19 and the fourth limiting ring 37 disengage. The air inside the opening end of the vacuum tube collector can enter the interior of the fixed ring groove 16 through multiple second vent holes 22, then enter between the second limiting ring 19 and the fourth limiting ring 37 through multiple third vent holes 24, and finally enter the interior of the fixed ring groove 16 through multiple first vent holes 20 to contact the desiccant inside the first snap-fit frame 15, thereby drying the air inside the vacuum tube collector, ensuring a dry environment for the metal components inside the opening end of the vacuum tube collector, and improving the stable quality of the vacuum tube collector.
[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, each fixed ring groove 16 is provided with an anti-slip ring pad 36 on its outer arc surface. The anti-slip ring pad 36 is made of elastic anti-slip material. The anti-slip ring pad 36 increases the anti-slip performance of the outer circular surface of the fixed ring groove 16, thereby improving the connection stability between the opening end of the vacuum tube collector and the fixed ring groove 16. Example 2:
[0024] Based on Example 1, further examples are made, such as... Figure 6 As shown, each long slot 12 has an arc-shaped support slider 29 slidably disposed inside. The two ends of each arc-shaped support slider 29 are slidably connected to the sliding slots 26 on both sides. The arrangement of multiple arc-shaped support sliders 29 provides further support for the vacuum tube collector stored inside each long slot 12, thereby improving the storage stability of the vacuum tube collector.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, each arc-shaped support slider 29 has a groove 30 on its two opposite side walls, and an arc-shaped limiting block 31 is rotatably disposed inside each groove 30. The shape of the arc-shaped limiting block 31 is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the pressing contact surface between each arc-shaped limiting block 31 and the vacuum tube collector is rounded, and the arc-shaped limiting block 31 is made of anti-slip rubber material. In this application, polyurethane rubber is selected, which has strong wear resistance and a certain cushioning effect, and can prevent each arc-shaped limiting block 31 from bumping and scratching the outer surface of the vacuum tube collector. Multiple second springs 32 are connected between every two adjacent grooves 30 and arc-shaped limiting blocks 31. After the opening end of the vacuum tube collector is engaged with the outside of the fixing ring groove 16, the springs can be rotated to engage the outer surface of the vacuum tube collector. During the process of the sealed end of the vacuum tube collector being snapped into the mounting slot 28, the middle section of the vacuum tube collector can be snapped into the interior of multiple arc-shaped support sliders 29 and arc-shaped limiting blocks 31. Under the elastic tension of the multiple arc-shaped limiting blocks 31, elastic support can be formed on one side of the multiple arc-shaped limiting blocks 31, so that every two adjacent arc-shaped limiting blocks 31, together with the arc-shaped support sliders 29, form a three-point clamping fixation of the vacuum tube collector, further forming a stable snap-fit storage of the vacuum tube collector.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the solar vacuum tube collector storage rack of this utility model needs to protect the various mechanical structures and related motion logic in this solution. Therefore, it does not elaborate on the various sensors, detectors and driving components required for the actual operation of the various mechanical structures. However, for those skilled in the art, various control systems and electrical connection methods, including various electrical components and driving components, can be completed using conventional technical means. As long as the beneficial effects or the specific actions during the above work can be achieved, they can be implemented. This solution does not impose too many restrictions.
[0027] Furthermore, in the solar vacuum tube collector storage rack of this utility model, the springs and breathable protective light cloth are all purchased from the market. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate it according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.
