Thermally insulating protective sleeve
A thermally insulating protective sleeve. The thermally insulating protective sleeve comprises a tubular shell and a thermally insulating liner located in the tubular shell and made of a thermally insulating soft material. The shell comprises two longitudinally separated half-parts, the two half-parts being detachably connected to each other. The thermally insulating liner defines a hollow opening in the shell, and an object to be thermally insulated can be received in the hollow opening in such a way that the thermally insulating liner is subjected to pressure in a radial direction.
1. A thermally insulating protective sleeve ( 10 ) comprising an annular, hard tubular shell ( 11 ) and a thermally insulating two-part liner ( 12 ) located in the tubular shell, the shell being of a hardness greater than that of the thermally insulating liner, and the shell comprising two longitudinally separated half-parts, the two half-parts being detachably connected to each other, the thermally insulating liner defining a hollow opening ( 13 ) in the shell, wherein the liner is configured such that an object to be thermally insulated can be received in the hollow opening ( 13 ) in such a way that the thermally insulating liner ( 12 ) is subjected to an evenly distributed pressure in a radial direction, wherein a semi-annular sidewall is integrally formed at at least one longitudinal end of each half-part of the shell, a radial dimension of the sidewall being greater than a wall thickness of the shell but less than the thickness of the thermally insulating liner, and wherein the thermally insulating protective sleeve encloses a liquid discharge port and/or a connector at the liquid discharge port of a urea solution supply pump of a selective catalytic reduction after-treatment system.
2. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 1 , characterized in that the thermally insulating liner ( 12 ) is adhered to an inside wall of the shell ( 11 ).
3. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 1 , characterized in that the thermally insulating liner ( 12 ) comprises two longitudinally separated half-parts.
4. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shell ( 11 ) comprises a hinge part ( 11 a ) which pivotably connects the two half-parts to each other, and a fastening structure which locks the two half-parts together releasably, wherein when viewed from the direction of a cross section of the shell ( 11 ), the fastening structure is disposed diametrically opposite the hinge part.
5. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 4 , comprising multiple said hinge parts ( 11 a ), separated from each other longitudinally; and/or multiple said fastening structures, separated from each other longitudinally.
6. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 5 , characterized in that each fastening structure comprises a fastening ring part ( 15 a ) disposed on one half-part of the shell, and a protrusion ( 15 b ) disposed on the other half-part, the fastening ring part having an opening capable of mating with the protrusion.
7. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 6 , characterized in that the shell ( 11 ) is made of PA 66, and/or; the thermally insulating liner ( 12 ) is made of a PVC/NBR rubber/plastic blend, the shell being of a hardness greater than that of the thermally insulating liner.
8. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 7 , characterized in that the object to be thermally insulated is a liquid discharge port of a urea solution supply pump of a selective catalytic reduction after-treatment system, and/or a connector for connecting to the liquid discharge port.
9. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 2 , characterized in that the thermally insulating liner ( 12 ) comprises two longitudinally separated half-parts.
10. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 9 , characterized in that the shell ( 11 ) comprises a hinge part ( 11 a ) which pivotably connects the two half-parts to each other, and a fastening structure which locks the two half-parts together releasably, wherein when viewed from the direction of a cross section of the shell ( 11 ), the fastening structure is disposed diametrically opposite the hinge part.
11. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 10 , characterized in that there are multiple said hinge parts ( 11 a ), separated from each other longitudinally; and/or there are multiple said fastening structures, separated from each other longitudinally.
12. A thermally insulating protective sleeve according to claim 11 , characterized in that each fastening structure comprises a fastening ring part ( 15 a ) disposed on one half-part of the shell, and a protrusion ( 15 b ) disposed on the other half-part, the fastening ring part having an opening capable of mating with the protrusion.
