Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solar thermal utilization, and in particular to a directional explosion relief structure at the tail of a vacuum tube. Background Technology
[0002] All-glass heat pipe vacuum solar collectors are core components of solar water heating and solar heating systems. With their advantages such as high heat exchange efficiency, strong antifreeze performance, and single-pipe maintenance without affecting the overall system, they are widely used in various hot water supply scenarios.
[0003] However, glass products are brittle and fragile, posing certain safety hazards during use. For example, in extreme operating conditions of the engineering system, such as when the system is exposed to direct sunlight or the working fluid cannot circulate properly, the collector tubes may not effectively change phases and may burst under prolonged critical pressure. This could cause fragments to spread irregularly, potentially harming adjacent collector tubes, the surrounding environment, and personnel.
[0004] Therefore, this design allows for the avoidance of the risk of a single vacuum collector tube bursting due to directional, localized self-explosion and pressure relief when the aforementioned extreme conditions occur. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a directional explosion relief structure at the tail of a vacuum tube to improve safety.
[0006] This utility model discloses a directional explosion relief structure for the tail end of a vacuum tube, comprising an inner glass tube and a solar selective absorption coating. The interior of the inner glass tube is a condensation section, and the outer wall of the inner glass tube is coated with the solar selective absorption coating. It also includes a cover glass tube assembly, which is positioned outside the inner glass tube. The end of the inner glass tube is located inside the cover glass tube assembly, and a groove is provided at the end of the inner glass tube. In use, the cover glass tube assembly is positioned outside the inner glass tube. When an overpressure occurs inside the inner glass tube, directional explosion relief is achieved through the groove. Simultaneously, the cover glass assembly prevents the irregular spread of glass fragments, eliminating potential hazards to adjacent collector tubes, the surrounding environment, and personnel, thus improving safety performance.
[0007] Preferably, the glass tube assembly includes a glass tube, a support, a getter, and a getter mirror. The glass tube is fitted over the outer side of the inner glass tube, and a vacuum interlayer is formed between the outer wall of the inner glass tube and the inner side of the glass tube. A support is provided between the glass tube and the inner glass tube. A heat pipe working fluid is provided on the inner wall of the inner glass tube. A getter and a getter mirror are provided between the glass tube and the inner glass tube. The support improves the connection between the glass tube and the inner glass tube. The getter and the getter mirror perform vacuum adsorption on the vacuum interlayer between the glass tube and the inner glass tube without affecting the original performance of the heat collection tube. This function is achieved through a special local structure without damaging the heat absorption film layer and the vacuum interlayer, and without affecting the heat collection performance and heat loss performance.
[0008] Preferably, the end of the inner glass tube is a flat-bottomed end.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the inner glass tube is a round-bottomed end.
[0010] Preferably, the groove is a radial groove extending outward from the radial center point.
[0011] Preferably, the groove is n annular grooves.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the glass tube assembly is set on the outside of the inner glass tube. When an overpressure occurs inside the inner glass tube, directional explosion relief is achieved through the wire groove. At the same time, the glass tube assembly prevents the irregular spread of glass fragments, eliminates the risk of harm to adjacent heat collection tubes, the surrounding environment, and personnel, and improves safety performance.
