Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of finished product management technology for automotive air conditioning pipes, and particularly relates to a method for organizing automotive air conditioning pipes. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive air conditioning system mainly consists of a compressor, condenser, throttling element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, which are connected by connecting pipes.

[0003] The current management of automotive air conditioning pipes has the following defects: finished automotive air conditioning pipes are stacked in packaging boxes, and they are prone to collisions when in contact with each other, which can cause surface damage and affect the quality of the product leaving the factory; when marking the product later, each automotive air conditioning pipe needs to be taken out and put back, which is inconvenient and requires a lot of manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a method for organizing automotive air conditioning pipes. The method is simple to operate, proceeds from bottom to top in a step-by-step and orderly manner, is easy to control and adjust, and ensures that each automotive air conditioning pipe is independent and does not come into contact with each other, thus avoiding collisions and damage. The pipes are clearly distinguished, which facilitates subsequent product marking.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for organizing automotive air conditioning pipes, characterized by the following steps:

[0007] (a) First, clamp the first half-clamp and the second half-clamp to the car air conditioning pipe, and then lock the first half-clamp and the second half-clamp with the end bolts so that the first half-clamp and the second half-clamp hold the car air conditioning pipe.

[0008] (b) Pass the end of the end bolt through the guide hole on the fixing block of the pipe rack, slide the end bolt downward, so that the threaded part of the end bolt is embedded in the limiting groove on the fixing block, so that the car air conditioning pipe is limited on the pipe rack.

[0009] (c) Pass the boss on the H-type connecting plate through the positioning through hole on the connecting seat at one end of the L-type support rod from bottom to top, so that the mounting through hole on the boss is exposed. One H-type connecting plate can connect four pipe racks at the same time.

[0010] (d) Pass the limiting rod through the mounting through hole on the boss to restrict the H-shaped connecting plate from freely detaching from the connecting seat, and obtain the assembly;

[0011] (e) Connect the support plate and the intermediate sleeve to obtain the telescopic base plate;

[0012] (f) Insert the base at the bottom of the support screw into the limiting groove on the support plate, so that the support screw is limited on the support plate;

[0013] (g) Fit the upper end of the support screw with the fixing through hole on the limiting rod, so that the assembly is limited on the first layer of support screw, and the limiting rod is supported by the positioning nut on the support screw;

[0014] (h) Screw the base of the next support screw to the support screw of the first layer to complete the arrangement of the second layer of support screws;

[0015] (i) The fixing through hole on the limiting rod of the next assembly is fitted onto the upper end of the second layer support screw, so that the assembly is limited on the second layer support screw, and the limiting rod of the assembly is supported by the positioning nut on the second layer support screw;

[0016] (j) Following steps (h) and (i), the support screws and assemblies are arranged layer by layer, with the support screws installed first and the assemblies installed later.

[0017] Furthermore, the assembly method of the telescopic base plate in step (e) is as follows: The side plate on one side of the support plate is inserted into the sleeve hole of the intermediate sleeve, so that the support plate is installed on both sides of the intermediate sleeve; one side of the support plate has a side plate, and both ends of the intermediate sleeve have sleeve holes corresponding to the side plates; symmetrically distributed limiting grooves are provided on the support plate. The telescopic base plate is simple to assemble, ready to use, and easy to retract. The length of the telescopic base plate is flexible and can adapt to limiting rods of different lengths, exhibiting strong adaptability.

[0018] Furthermore, step (a) is performed as follows: First, the first and second half-clamps are inserted into the inner grooves of the sealing joint on the automotive air conditioning pipe. The sealing joint is clamped by the first and second half-clamps. Then, the end bolts are screwed onto the first threaded block on the first half-clamp and the second threaded block on the second half-clamp, locking the first and second half-clamps in place. The first and second half-clamps, working together, hold the sealing joint in place, preventing the automotive air conditioning pipe from sliding freely. This ensures high stability, avoids collisions between adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes, and provides high safety.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (b), the pipe support includes an L-shaped support rod, a rod joint, and a support rod. The rod joint is located at one end of the L-shaped support rod, and the other end of the L-shaped support rod is provided with a connecting seat. The connecting seat has symmetrically distributed positioning through holes. The support rods are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rod joint. The bottom of the support rod is provided with a fixing block. The fixing block has a guide through hole and a limiting through groove. The limiting through groove communicates with the guide through hole. The cross-sectional diameter of the guide through hole is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting through groove. The limiting through groove corresponds to the threaded part of the end bolt, and the guide through hole corresponds to the end of the end bolt.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (f), the bottom of the support screw is provided with a base, and the bottom surface of the base has a threaded groove corresponding to the support screw. A positioning nut is screwed onto the support screw. The support screws can be connected one by one, ensuring reliable assembly, preventing them from easily falling apart, and providing high stability. The height of the positioning nut can be adjusted by rotating it up and down, thereby flexibly changing the spacing between adjacent upper and lower limit rods, ensuring that adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes have a sufficient height difference, avoiding mutual collision, making it simple and safe.

[0021] Furthermore, the H-shaped connecting plate has symmetrically distributed protrusions, each protrusion having a mounting through hole corresponding to the limiting rod, and the limiting rod having symmetrically distributed fixing through holes.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (a), the automotive air conditioning pipeline includes an aluminum pipe and a rubber pipe. A sealing joint is provided between the aluminum pipe and the rubber pipe. An inner groove is provided on the outer wall of the sealing joint. The arc segments of the first half-clamp and the arc segments of the second half-clamp are adapted to the inner groove. A first threaded block is provided on the first half-clamp and a second threaded block is provided on the second half-clamp. The first threaded block and the second threaded block are screwed together with the end bolt.

[0023] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The end of the end bolt cannot freely disengage from the limiting groove. Combined with the gravity of the car air conditioning pipe, the threaded part of the end bolt is difficult to slide upward or laterally. The pipe bracket limits the aluminum pipes at both ends simultaneously, ensuring the installation stability of the car air conditioning pipe. The removal of the car air conditioning pipe is also simple, flexible and convenient.

[0025] 2. One H-shaped connecting plate connects four pipe racks at the same time. The H-shaped connecting plate limits the distance between two adjacent pipe racks in the lateral direction, and thus limits the distance between two adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes in the lateral direction, so as to avoid collisions, keep them independent and do not contact each other, and facilitate subsequent management.

[0026] 3. A single limiting rod simultaneously restricts multiple H-shaped connecting plates from freely detaching from the pipe rack, improving the assembly reliability of the H-shaped connecting plates and the pipe rack. This one-step assembly eliminates the need to individually limit each H-shaped connecting plate, reducing operational intensity and improving operational efficiency.

[0027] 4. The positioning nut provides support for the limiting rod. The positioning nut can be rotated up and down to adjust its height, thereby flexibly changing the spacing between adjacent upper and lower limiting rods. This ensures that adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes have a sufficient height difference, preventing them from colliding and being damaged, ensuring safety and reliability. The support screws can be connected one by one, ensuring reliable assembly, preventing them from easily falling apart, and providing high stability. The base of the upper layer prevents the lower limiting rod from freely detaching from the support screw of its layer, ensuring the reliability of the lower assembly installed on the support screw of its layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] A method for organizing automotive air conditioning pipes includes the following steps:

[0040] (a) such as Figure 9As shown, the automotive air conditioning piping includes an aluminum pipe 1 and a rubber pipe 2. A sealing joint 3 is provided between the aluminum pipe 1 and the rubber pipe 2 to improve the sealing performance at the connection and prevent leakage. The outer wall of the sealing joint 3 is provided with an inner groove 4. The arc segments of the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second half-clamp plate 6 are adapted to the inner groove 4. The first half-clamp plate 5 is provided with a first threaded block 7, and the second half-clamp plate 6 is provided with a second threaded block 8. The thread direction of the first threaded block 7 and the thread direction of the second threaded block 8 are designed according to the actual situation so that they can be screwed together with the end bolt 9.

[0041] First, insert the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second half-clamp plate 6 into the inner groove 4 on the sealing joint 3. The sealing joint 3 is clamped by the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second half-clamp plate 6. Then, screw the end bolt 9 to the first threaded block 7 on the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second threaded block 8 on the second half-clamp plate 6. Lock the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second half-clamp plate 6 by the end bolt 9, so that the first half-clamp plate 5 and the second half-clamp plate 6 clamp the car air conditioning pipe.

[0042] The first half-clamping plate 5, together with the second half-clamping plate 6, clamps the sealing joint 3, preventing the automotive air conditioning pipe from sliding freely. This ensures high stability, avoids collisions between adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes, and provides high safety.

[0043] (b) such as Figure 6 As shown, the pipe support 10 includes an L-shaped support rod 11, a rod connector 12, and a support rod 13. The rod connector 12 is located at one end of the L-shaped support rod 11, and the other end of the L-shaped support rod 11 is provided with a connecting seat 14. The connecting seat 14 has symmetrically distributed positioning through holes 15. The support rod 13 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rod connector 12. The bottom of the support rod 13 is provided with a fixing block 16. The fixing block 16 has a guide through hole 17 and a limiting through groove 18. The limiting through groove 18 communicates with the guide through hole 17. The cross-sectional diameter of the guide through hole 17 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting through groove 18. The limiting through groove 18 corresponds to the threaded part of the end bolt 9, and the guide through hole 17 corresponds to the end of the end bolt 9.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the end of the end bolt 9 is passed through the guide hole 17 on the fixing block 16 and the end bolt 9 is slid downward so that the threaded part of the end bolt 9 is embedded in the limiting through groove 18 on the fixing block 16, so that the car air conditioning pipe is limited on the pipe holder 10.

[0045] The end of the end bolt 9 cannot freely disengage from the limiting groove 18. Combined with the gravity of the car air conditioning pipe, the threaded part of the end bolt 9 is difficult to slide upward or laterally. The pipe bracket 10 simultaneously limits the aluminum pipes 1 at both ends, ensuring the installation stability of the car air conditioning pipe. The removal of the car air conditioning pipe is also simple, flexible and convenient.

[0046] (c) H-shaped connecting plate 19 has symmetrically distributed protrusions 20, protrusions 20 have mounting through holes 22 corresponding to limit rod 21, and limit rod 21 has symmetrically distributed fixing through holes 23 corresponding to support screw 24.

[0047] The protrusion 20 on the H-shaped connecting plate 19 passes through the positioning through hole 15 on the connecting seat 14 from bottom to top, so that the mounting through hole 22 on the protrusion 20 is exposed. One H-shaped connecting plate 19 can connect four pipe racks 10 at the same time.

[0048] (d) such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting rod 21 is passed through the mounting through hole 22, and the limiting rod 21 blocks the protrusion 20 from freely disengaging from the positioning through hole 15, thus restricting the H-type connecting plate 19 from freely detaching from the connecting seat 14, resulting in an assembly. One limiting rod 21 simultaneously restricts multiple H-type connecting plates 19 from freely detaching from the pipe rack 10, improving the assembly reliability of the H-type connecting plate 19 and the pipe rack 10. This one-step assembly eliminates the need to individually limit each H-type connecting plate 19, reducing operational intensity and improving operational efficiency. The H-type connecting plate 19 limits the spacing between two laterally adjacent pipe racks 10, thereby limiting the spacing between two laterally adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes, preventing collisions, ensuring they are independent and do not contact each other, and facilitating subsequent management.

[0049] (e) such as Figure 7 As shown, a side plate 26 is provided on one side of the support plate 25, and sleeve holes corresponding to the side plate 26 are provided at both ends of the intermediate sleeve 27. Limiting grooves 28 are symmetrically distributed on the support plate 25.

[0050] Insert the side plate 26 of the support plate 25 into the sleeve hole of the intermediate sleeve 27, so that the support plate 25 is installed on both sides of the intermediate sleeve 27, thus obtaining the telescopic base plate.

[0051] The telescopic base plate is easy to assemble, can be used immediately after installation, and is convenient to retract and extend. The length of the telescopic base plate is flexible and can adapt to limit rods of different lengths 21, making it highly adaptable.

[0052] (f) The bottom of the support screw 24 is provided with a base 29, and the bottom surface of the base 29 is provided with a threaded groove 30 corresponding to the support screw 24. A positioning nut 31 is screwed onto the support screw 24.

[0053] The base 29 at the bottom of the support screw 24 is embedded into the limiting groove 28 on the support plate 25, thus limiting the support screw 24 on the support plate 25. Installation is simple and positioning is convenient. The base 29 cannot freely detach from the limiting groove 28, improving the stability of the support screw 24 mounted on the support plate 25.

[0054] (g) The fixing through hole 23 on the limiting rod 21 is fitted over the upper end of the support screw 24, so that the assembly is limited on the first layer support screw 24. The positioning nut 31 on the support screw 24 supports the limiting rod 21 and prevents the limiting rod 21 from sliding down. The assembly applies downward pressure to the support screw 24, so that the base 29 cannot freely come out of the limiting groove 28, thereby improving the installation stability of the first layer support screw 24 on the support plate 25.

[0055] The limiting rod 21 is sleeved between the supporting screws 24, which is simple to operate, replaces the bolt connection method, and is easy to install and use, saving effort and time; the telescopic base plate provides support for the supporting screws 24, with a large contact area with the ground, making the whole structure less prone to tipping over and highly stable; the positioning nut 31 can be rotated up and down to adjust its height position, thereby flexibly changing the distance between adjacent upper and lower limiting rods 21, ensuring that adjacent automotive air conditioning pipes have a sufficient height difference, avoiding mutual collision and damage, and ensuring safety and reliability; the automotive air conditioning pipes are suspended in the air and do not touch the ground, avoiding collision and moisture.

[0056] (h) such as Figure 8 As shown, the base 29 at the bottom of the next support screw 24 is screwed onto the support screw 24 of the first layer, completing the arrangement of the second layer of support screws 24. The support screws 24 can be connected one by one from top to bottom, which ensures reliable assembly, prevents them from falling apart, and provides high stability. The base 29 of the upper layer prevents the lower limiting rod 21 from freely detaching from the support screw 24 of its layer, ensuring the reliability of the lower assembly installed on the support screw 24 of its layer.

[0057] (i) The fixing through hole 23 on the next assembly is fitted over the upper end of the second layer support screw 24, so that the assembly is limited on the second layer support screw 24, and the limiting rod 21 of the assembly is supported by the positioning nut 31 on the second layer support screw 24.

[0058] (j) Referring to steps (h) and (i), arrange the support screws 24 and the assembly layer by layer, following the method of first installing the support screws 24 and then installing the assembly. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0059] The design proceeds from bottom to top in a gradual and orderly manner, making it less prone to errors and easy to operate. The number of layers of support screws 24 can be flexibly arranged according to the indoor height of the space, resulting in high space utilization and a small footprint.

[0060] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
