Three of the pipes are on the same side; the middle pipe connects to the compressor's suction pipe, and the other two connect to the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. The fourth pipe is on the other side and connects to the compressor's discharge pipe. The valve body contains a semi-circular slider and two pistons with small holes.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] This invention provides as shown in the appendix.

[0029] In use, the position of hole 11 is determined according to the corresponding dimensions on the base plate 1 based on the process drawings, and then the components of the intake pipe column nitrogen-filling support assembly 2, U-tube bracket assembly 3, and capillary tube nitrogen-filling column support assembly 4 are assembled. Then, according to the required production model and the shape, size, and angle required by the process drawings, the capillary assembly, U-shaped pipe assembly, and intake pipe assembly are sequentially piped and simultaneously installed on their corresponding capillary tube nitrogen-filling column support assembly 4, U-tube bracket assembly 3, and intake pipe column nitrogen-filling support assembly 2 for positioning. A four-way valve assembly, an exhaust pipe assembly, and corresponding support assemblies can also be added as needed. Afterwards, the spatial rotation angle of the intake pipe column nitrogen-filling support assembly 2, U-tube bracket assembly 3, and capillary tube nitrogen-filling column support assembly 4 is adjusted as needed to ensure the intake pipe, U-tube, and capillary tube are at the correct angle. In this invention, the welding parts are fixed by positioning these components in the holes on the base plate, thereby preventing the welding parts from shaking or shifting, which would affect the assemblability.

[0042] The technical problem solved by this invention:

[0043] 1. Resolved the issue of tooling inapplicability during adjustment.

Appropriate positioning can be selected that meets the various dimensional and angular requirements set in the drawings.

[0045] ② Manual nitrogen filling: Design nitrogen filling fixtures so that after the pipeline components are aligned with the hole positions, protective nitrogen is automatically filled, avoiding human error in missing or not filling protective nitrogen, as well as the waste of waiting for the specified nitrogen filling time limit;

[0046] Improve the timeliness of tooling adjustment processes and reduce personnel waiting time losses.

[0047] The workflow of this invention:

[0048] First, holes are drilled in the base plate to add a nitrogen-filling column for the suction pipe, a nitrogen-filling nozzle, support feet, support pads, a U-tube bracket base, a valve stop, a nitrogen-filling column for the capillary tube, a suction and exhaust pipe support assembly, fastening nuts, and a capillary support assembly, etc., to prevent the welded parts from shaking or shifting.

[0049] (1) Take a 300*400mm C45 material base plate and drill holes at the same distance.

[0050] (2) Fix the nitrogen-filling column, nitrogen-filling nozzle, support feet, support pads, U-tube bracket base, valve block, capillary nitrogen-filling column, exhaust pipe support assembly, fastening nut, capillary support assembly, etc. to the floor for positioning.

[0051] (3) Set the dimensions according to the process drawings, adjust the positioning support points of the base plate, set the angle according to the process drawings, and adjust the brackets of each support to prevent the workpiece from shaking after being placed in, which would affect the consistency of assembly.

[0052] The main function of this invention is to achieve tooling positioning and angle adjustment by setting butterfly-shaped openings on the base plate and setting the required components according to the hole positions of the array, so as to ensure the consistency of welding angle dimensions.
