[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments provide an air-conditioning pipeline, which includes a pipe body 1, the inner side of the pipe wall of the pipe body 1 forms a flow channel 2 for the flow of refrigerant, and the pipe wall of the pipe body 1 has at least one cavity 3, and the cavity 3 is configured to pass an air-conditioning power transmission line.

[0027] In some embodiments, a flow channel 2 for the flow of refrigerant is formed on the inner side of the tube wall of the tube body 1, and a cavity 3 for passing the air-conditioning power transmission line is formed in the tube wall of the tube body 1. Therefore, the air-conditioning pipeline can transmit both refrigerant and electricity, is easy to install, saves the cost of connecting the internal and external units, has a simple manufacturing process, is low-cost, and is easy to implement.

[0028] The flow channel 2 formed on the inner side of the tube wall of the tube body 1 refers to an axial channel on the inner side of the annular tube wall of the tube body 1. The cavity 3 is provided on the tube wall main body of the tube body 1.

[0029] The length extension direction of the cavity 3 is consistent with the length extension direction of the tube body 1 .

[0030] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning pipeline also includes a partition 4, which is arranged on the inner side of the tube wall of the tube body 1, and the partition 4 is configured to separate the flow channel 2 for the flow of the refrigerant into at least a first flow channel 21 and a second flow channel 22, wherein the first flow channel 21 is configured to transport liquid refrigerant, and the second flow channel 22 is configured to transport gaseous refrigerant.

[0031] The partition 4 is made of a material with strong thermal insulation properties, and divides the flow channel 2 into a first flow channel 21 and a second flow channel 22. The first flow channel 21 is used to transmit compressed liquid refrigerant, and the second flow channel 22 is used to transmit gaseous refrigerant. The interior of an air-conditioning pipeline can transmit both gaseous refrigerant and liquid refrigerant, and there is no need to use two pipelines, namely an air pipe and a liquid pipe, respectively, thereby reducing the difficulty and investment of engineering construction.

[0032] In some embodiments, the tube body 1 is made of a metallic conductive material, and the cavity 3 is configured to allow a power transmission line having an insulating protective layer to pass through.

[0033] In some embodiments, the tube body 1 is made of insulating material, and the cavity 3 is configured to pass a power transmission line with or without an insulating protective layer.

[0034] In some embodiments, at least one cavity 3 includes a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32 spaced apart around the central axis of the tube body 1 , the first cavity 31 is configured to pass a live wire, and the second cavity 32 is configured to pass a neutral wire.

[0035] In some embodiments, at least one cavity 3 includes a first cavity 31 , a second cavity 32 , and a third cavity 33 , and the first cavity 31 , the second cavity 32 , and the third cavity 33 are spaced apart around the central axis of the tube body 1 .

[0036] Optionally, the inner side of the tube wall of the tube body 1 is a flow channel 2 for the flow of the refrigerant, and the tube wall of the tube body 1 is made of an insulating material, which has high strength characteristics and can achieve the pressure-bearing capacity of the refrigerant. A cavity 3 is formed in the tube wall body of the tube body 1, and the cavity 3 is used to pass a direct current conductive wire or an alternating current conductive wire.

[0037] In some embodiments, the tube body 1 is formed by integrally extruding a metal conductive material to form a flow channel 2 and a cavity 3 .

[0038] In some embodiments, the tube body 1 is formed by integrally extruding an insulating material to form a flow channel 2 and a cavity 3 .

[0039] The air-conditioning pipeline has the multiplexing function of power supply and flowing refrigerant. The air-conditioning pipeline adopts the manufacturing process of extrusion one-piece molding, which is simple to manufacture, low in cost and easy to implement.

[0040] The material of the tube body 1 can be metallic conductive material or non-metallic material, and the conductive wire running through the cavity 3 can realize DC power supply or AC power supply, which is convenient to realize and easy to promote and use over a large area.

[0041] In some embodiments, the material of the tube body 1 includes copper. The tube body 1 includes a copper tube.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air conditioning pipeline also includes an air conditioning power transmission line and / or an air conditioning communication signal transmission line, and the air conditioning power transmission line and / or the air conditioning communication signal transmission line are passed through the cavity 3.

[0043] Some embodiments provide an air conditioner, which includes the above-mentioned air conditioning pipeline.

[0045] Optionally, the air conditioning pipeline can be made of high-strength insulating material with strong thermal insulation performance, which can ensure the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the outside air in the case of long pipelines and improve the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0046] Optionally, the air-conditioning pipeline adopts an integrated extrusion molding process, and a flow channel for the flow of hollow refrigerant can be directly formed inside the pipe body 1. The pipe wall can be directly extruded into a cavity. In actual use, one air-conditioning pipeline can be directly used to achieve the dual functions of refrigerant transmission and conduction, saving engineering installation costs.

[0047] When the material of the air-conditioning pipeline is selected as a metal conductive material such as copper, the interior of the tube body 1 serves as a flow channel for the flow of refrigerant, and the cavity 3 can be inserted with a conductive cable with an insulating layer for conduction. The pipeline adopts an integrated extrusion molding process to facilitate structural realization.

[0048] During the installation process of the air conditioner, only one air conditioning pipeline needs to be installed. There is no need to bundle the pipelines, cables, etc. together for installation, which greatly simplifies the construction complexity and saves engineering costs.

If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
