AI Technical Summary
Existing tube expansion machines cannot adapt to the parallel structure of the heat exchange tubes at both ends and the heat dissipation fin module in water-cooled central air conditioning heat exchangers. This necessitates lengthening the heat exchange tubes and increasing post-processing and cutting, which increases the number of processes, wastes materials, and raises production costs.
Design a telescopic positioning top tube structure for a tube expander, including a rear top rod, a rear top sleeve, and an elastic reset component. Through sliding fit and limiting structure, ensure that the rear top sleeve can retract after tube expansion and abut against the end face of the heat exchange tube, avoiding cutting excess copper tube.
It reduces production steps, saves materials, lowers production costs, and enables tube expansion without cutting heat exchange tubes.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a pipe expander, in particular to a telescopic pipe positioning structure of a pipe expander. BACKGROUND
[0002] The heat exchange pipe of a heat exchanger of a central air conditioner needs to be tightly contacted with a heat dissipation fin module through expansion so as to form a good heat exchange effect, and the above structure is generally realized by a pipe expander.
[0003] The two ends of the heat exchange pipe of a common central air conditioner are protruded from the two side surfaces of the fin module, so that the rear top rod sleeve of the pipe expander can be sleeved on the tail end of the heat exchange pipe to abut against the heat exchange pipe and move along with the heat exchange pipe during the contraction of the heat exchange pipe until the pipe expansion is completed.
[0004] However, the two ends of the heat exchange pipe of a water machine central air conditioner heat exchanger are flat with the two side surfaces of the heat dissipation fin module, and the rear top rod sleeve of the previous pipe expander cannot be telescopic. If the previous pipe expander is used, the heat exchange pipe needs to be lengthened to ensure that the rear top rod sleeve can still be sleeved on the tail end of the heat exchange pipe to abut against the heat exchange pipe in the last stage of pipe expansion, and the excess copper pipe is cut off after the pipe expansion is completed to make the two ends of the copper pipe flat with the two side surfaces of the heat dissipation fin module. Therefore, the above device not only increases the process, but also wastes materials and increases the production cost. Therefore, the applicant designs a telescopic pipe positioning structure of a pipe expander for the water machine central air conditioner heat exchanger to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a telescopic pipe positioning structure of a pipe expander.

[0008] The empty hole is a tapered hole.
[0009] The rod head limiting structure comprises a step surface arranged on the rod one and a convex ring arranged in the sleeve hole, the convex ring can abut against the step surface, the rod one comprises a rod head and a rod body, and the step surface is formed by the end face where the rod head and the rod body intersect.
[0010] The elastic reset member is a compression spring, the second rod is provided with a connecting screw hole, the first rod is provided with a connecting screw thread matched with the connecting screw hole, one end of the compression spring is abutted with the end face of the second rod, and the other end of the compression spring is abutted with the rear top sleeve.
[0011] The first rod and the second rod are both provided with through holes, the second rod is connected with the oil pipe adapter, and the through holes are communicated with the inner hole of the oil pipe adapter.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the top pipe structure comprises a rear top rod, a rear top sleeve and an elastic reset member, the rear top rod is in sliding fit with the sleeve hole of the rear top sleeve, a limiting structure limiting the rear top sleeve from being pulled out of the rear top rod is arranged between the rear top sleeve and the rear top rod, the elastic reset member is arranged on the rear top rod and can push and press the rear top sleeve, so that when the rear top sleeve contacts the side surface of the heat dissipation fin module in the last stage of pipe expansion, the rear top sleeve can be retracted along the rear top rod, so that the end face of the rear top rod can always abut against the end face of the heat exchange pipe until the heat exchange pipe is retracted into the heat dissipation fin module after the pipe expansion is completed, the heat exchanger produced by the above structure does not need to cut the heat exchange pipe, not only reduces the process, but also saves materials, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0025] In the application, the rear pushing rod 1 comprises a rod one 6 and a rod two 7 for the convenience of manufacturing and assembling, the rod one 6 is in sliding fit with the sleeve hole of the rear pushing sleeve 2, so that when the rear pushing sleeve 2 is sleeved on the end of the heat exchange pipe 5, the end surface of the rod one 6 abuts against and pushes the end surface of the heat exchange pipe 5, as a further structure, the end surface of the rod one 6 is provided with a clearance hole 8 which is a taper hole, the end of the expansion rod which passes through the other end needs space for accommodation after the pipe expansion is completed, so the clearance hole 8 is needed, and the taper hole can match the taper of the end of the expansion rod.
