Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline installation technology, specifically to a fixing component and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] The compressor in an air conditioner vibrates during operation. This requires the pipes connecting the compressor and the heat exchanger to not only have a specific shape to reduce vibration, but also to add vibration damping blocks between the pipes to further buffer the vibration. This reduces the amplitude of pipe vibration, decreases local stress in the pipes, and avoids quality problems such as pipe cracking and refrigerant leakage, and excessive noise caused by vibration stress.

[0003] The common method for pipeline vibration reduction is to use rubber vibration damping blocks. After the pipeline is welded, the rubber vibration blocks are passed through the pipeline and secured with wire ties or metal cable ties. Excess cable ties are then cut off to prevent the wire ends from wearing through the pipeline. However, this method is cumbersome, especially in the wasted time spent tying and cutting the cable ties. Furthermore, inconsistent tightness of the cable ties can lead to them loosening and causing the vibration damping blocks to fall off during long-term operation.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Summary of the Invention

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 15 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a fixing component is provided, including a first fixing component 1, the first fixing component 1 having an internal mounting channel 11; the first fixing component 1 having a vibration damping part and a movable part 12 connected to each other, the movable part 12 being movably disposed to contact or move away from the component 10 to be fixed; a second fixing component 2, the second fixing component 2 being disposed within the mounting channel 11 and connected to the movable part 12; the shape of the second fixing component 2 being variablely disposed so that by deforming the second fixing component 2, the movable part 12 is driven. With the above configuration, the second fixing component 2 is disposed inside the first fixing component 1, and by deforming the second fixing component 2, the movable part 12 of the first fixing component 1 is driven to move, causing the movable part 12 to contact the component 10 to be fixed. The vibration damping part connected to the movable part 12 is used to prevent the component 10 to be fixed from vibrating, thereby ensuring that the pipeline does not vibrate during use, thus making the structure more robust and solving the technical problem of unreliable fixing of the compressor pipeline in the prior art.

[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, the vibration damping part is used to prevent the vibration of the component 10 to be fixed, and can be selected as a component with vibration damping function.

[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, the second fixing component 2 is made of metal. The metal second fixing component 2 can deform and has a certain strength after deformation, which can prevent the first fixing component 1 from resetting, thereby achieving a better fixing effect.

[0038] See Figure 1In the fixing assembly of this embodiment, the second fixing component 2 includes: a connecting part 21, which is located inside the mounting channel 11 and connected to the movable part 12; and an operating part 22, which is connected to the connecting part 21 and located outside the mounting channel 11, so as to drive the connecting part 21 to move by driving the operating part 22. In this way, by driving the exposed operating part 22, it is easier to deform the second fixing component 2, making the operation simpler.

[0039] In the fixing component of this embodiment, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 The first fixing component 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13. When the movable part 12 is in contact with the component 10 to be fixed, the operating part 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 to limit the position of the operating part 22. In this way, by providing the limiting groove 13, the degree of deformation of the operating part 22 can be controlled, thereby allowing the first fixing component 1 to reach a better fixing position.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 10 In the fixing assembly of this embodiment, the first fixing component 1 includes a fixing body 14, a movable part 12 connected to the fixing body 14, and a receiving groove 15 for accommodating the component 10 to be fixed between the movable part 12 and the fixing body 14. In this way, when the component 10 to be fixed is placed inside the receiving groove 15, the first fixing component 1 can wrap around the component 10 to be fixed, thereby better preventing the component 10 to be fixed from vibrating.

[0041] In the fixing component of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 10 The fixed body 14 and the movable part 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The first fixed part 1 includes a boss part 16, which is connected to the fixed body 14. A limiting groove 13 for the second fixed part 2 to be inserted is provided between the boss part 16 and the fixed body 14. A relief groove 18 for the second fixed part 2 to be avoided is provided on the boss part 16. The relief groove 18 is connected to the limiting groove 13.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 10 In the fixing assembly of this embodiment, the movable part 12 includes: a first movable part 121, which is connected to one end of the fixing body 14 to form a first receiving groove 151 between the first movable part 121 and the fixing body 14 for accommodating one component 10 to be fixed; and a second movable part 122, which is connected to the end of the fixing body 14 away from the first movable part 121 to form a second receiving groove 152 between the second movable part 122 and the fixing body 14 for accommodating another component 10 to be fixed. With the above arrangement, the fixing assembly is used to fix two components 10 to be fixed, connecting them together. This creates a vibration-damping structure, preventing relative vibration between the two components 10 and thus better overcoming structural instability.

[0043] In the fixing component of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 10 The first fixing component 1 is provided with a connecting groove 17, which communicates with the mounting channel 11. The second fixing component 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib 23, the extension direction of which is parallel to the extension direction of the mounting channel 11, and the reinforcing rib 23 is located within the connecting groove 17. In this way, the reinforcing rib 23 can increase the strength of the second fixing component 2, and the connecting groove 17 can facilitate the assembly of the second fixing component 2 and the first fixing component 1, thereby reducing production costs.

[0044] See Figures 11 to 13 In the fixing assembly of this embodiment, the fixing assembly further includes an operating clamp 4, which includes: a first clamp 41 for abutting against the movable part 12; and a second clamp 42 for abutting against the side of the first fixing component 1 away from the first clamp 41. The distance between the second clamp 42 and the first clamp 41 is adjustable so that the movable part 12 can be driven to contact the component 10 to be fixed by the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42.

[0045] In the fixing component of this embodiment, see Figures 11 to 13 The first clamping plate 41 includes two guide portions 411 spaced apart, the guide portions 411 protruding from the plate surface of the first clamping plate 41, and a guide groove for accommodating the movable portion 12 is provided between the two guide portions 411; and / or, a top block 412 is provided on the first clamping plate 41, the top block 412 is used to push the movable portion 12, and the top block 412 protrudes from the plate surface of the first clamping plate 41.

[0046] The air conditioner in this embodiment is referred to... Figure 14 , Figure 15 It includes a fixing component, which is the fixing component described above.

[0047] The fixing components of this embodiment are described below:

[0048] In this embodiment, the first fixing component 1 and the second fixing component 2 in the fixing assembly are an integrated structure. The second fixing component 2 is placed in the mold and molded together with the first fixing component 1 during the production of the first fixing component 1, forming an integrated structure. The first clamping plate 41 on the operating fixture 4 is designed to be relatively wide and has a guide groove. This is to ensure a guiding effect when clamping the second fixing component 2. The first clamping plate 41 on the operating fixture 4 is also designed with a top block 412, which is used to completely press and shape the second fixing component 2 at the end of the clamping action. The second clamping plate 42 is designed to be relatively narrow because it needs to penetrate between the two pipes (i.e., the component 10 to be fixed), passing through the middle of the pipes. The narrower design facilitates insertion into various pipes and improves versatility.

[0049] The fixed component in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0050] The first fixing component 1 and the second fixing component 2 are an integrated structure. During the production of the first fixing component 1, the second fixing component 2 is placed in a mold and formed together with the first fixing component 1, creating an integrated structure. During assembly, the receiving groove 15 inside the first fixing component 1 is matched with the outer diameter of the copper tube. After the first fixing component 1 is fixed in the correct position, the operating jig 4 is opened, and the second clamping plate 42 is inserted into the non-opening surface of the first fixing component 1, with the first clamping plate 41 facing the opening direction of the second fixing component 2. The operating jig 4 is closed, and the second fixing component 2 is pressed along the guide groove on the first clamping plate 41, gradually closing until it is finally pressed and shaped by the top block 412 on the first clamping plate 41. This transforms the second fixing component 2 from its original open U-shape into a ring that matches the shape of the first fixing component 1, effectively locking the first fixing component 1. Finally, the operating jig 4 is removed, completing the assembly.

[0051] The first fixing component 1 and the second fixing component 2 of the fixing assembly in this embodiment can form a fast and reliable vibration damping block structure, assembly tools, and assembly method. It can replace existing cable ties, improving assembly reliability while reducing assembly steps and increasing production efficiency. The shape, hole diameter, and hole spacing of the first fixing component 1 can be adjusted according to different pipeline requirements. Besides the aforementioned strip-shaped double hole, it can also be a triangular triple hole, etc. The shape of the corresponding operating fixture 4 can be adjusted according to different vibration damping blocks. For convenience, the top of the operating fixture 4 can also be changed to a quick-change structure.

[0052] The fixing component of the present invention uses a second fixing part to replace the cable tie, and with the matching operating clamp and usage method, it can improve the fastening strength of the fixing structure, while its reliability is better than that of traditional cable ties.

[0053] The fixing component of the present invention, through the operation clamp, in conjunction with the metal fixing plate and its usage method, is used to fix the vibration damping block; the operation clamp directly replaces the original steps of threading the wire, tightening the wire, and cutting the end of the tie with a single action, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the fixing block.
