[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment proposes a double sealing structure of an automobile air-conditioning pipeline and a processing method thereof, comprising a core tube 1, a first sealing ring 2, and a second sealing ring 3, wherein the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3 are sleeved on the core tube 1, the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3 are spaced apart, and the outer diameter of the second sealing ring 3 is greater than the outer diameter of the first sealing ring 2. In addition, the double sealing structure also includes a nut 4 and a stud 5, wherein the nut 4 is sleeved on the core tube 1, and a gap is provided between the core tube 1 and the nut 4, and the stud 5 has a through hole 51 for the core tube 1 to extend into, and the stud 5 can extend into the gap and be matched with the nut 4 for connection, and an annular boss 52 is provided inside the stud 5, and the inner surfaces of the core tube 1 and the stud 5 are interference matched to clamp the first sealing ring 2, and a stopper 11 is provided on the core tube 1, and the stopper 11 cooperates with the end surface of the annular boss 52 to clamp the second sealing ring 3. The radial pressure generated by the interference fit between the inner surface of the stud 5 and the core tube 1 clamps the first sealing ring 2 to form a radial seal; when the stud 5 is connected with the nut 4, the second sealing ring 3 can be clamped by the end face of the baffle 11 on the core tube 1 and the annular boss 52 to form an axial seal. By adopting a sealing structure that combines axial and radial seals, it can better ensure that the sealing ring of the air-conditioning system will not fail due to improper assembly during the assembly process, improve the double insurance effect of the sealing ring, and improve the reliability and effectiveness of production assembly to a greater extent, and effectively solve the problem of leakage of the air conditioner due to structural eccentricity of the radial seal.

[0037] In the present application, radial extrusion of the first sealing ring 2 is achieved by interference fit between the core tube 1 and the inner surface of the stud 5, and radial extrusion of the first sealing ring 2 is further achieved by threaded engagement between the nut 4 and the stud 5, so that the first sealing ring 2 is subjected to double extrusion, thereby further improving the radial sealing effect of the first sealing ring 2; at the same time, the threaded engagement between the nut 4 and the stud 5 can enhance the axial force of the annular boss 52 against the second sealing ring 3, so that the end face of the annular boss 52 and the stop 11 can better clamp the second sealing ring 3, thereby further improving the axial sealing effect of the second sealing ring 3.

[0038] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, the core tube 1 is provided with a receiving groove 12, and the receiving groove 12 is provided so as to accommodate the first sealing ring 2. In this way, when the first sealing ring 2 is placed in the receiving groove 12, the annular boss 52 is interference-fitted with the core tube 1, so that the first sealing ring 2 is subjected to radial force, so that the first sealing ring 2 is better placed in the receiving groove 12 for radial sealing. At the same time, through the engagement of the nut 4 and the stud 5, the double radial force and the cooperation of the receiving groove 12 further enhance the radial sealing effect.

[0039] Preferably, the cross section of the receiving groove 12 is set in a U-shape, and by being set in a U-shape, it can better adapt to the shape of the first sealing ring 2, so that the first sealing ring 2 can be better placed in the receiving groove 12. Of course, in this embodiment, according to actual conditions and specific needs, the cross section of the receiving groove 12 can also be set in a V-shape or other shapes, which is not the only limitation here.

[0040] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, the core tube 1 is provided with a sealing groove 13, and the sealing groove 13 can be used to accommodate the second sealing ring 3. In this way, when the second sealing ring 3 is placed in the sealing groove 13, the annular boss 52 and the stopper 11 are abutted and matched, so that the second sealing ring 3 is well placed in the sealing groove 13 for axial sealing. At the same time, the engagement of the nut 4 and the stud 5 further enhances the clamping force of the annular boss 52 and the stopper 11, so that the second sealing ring 3 is well placed in the sealing groove 13, and the axial sealing effect is further enhanced.

[0041] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, the stopper 11 is an annular stopper, and the outer diameter of the stopper 11 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the second sealing ring 3, and the outer diameter of the stopper 11 is smaller than the outer diameter of the through hole 51. In this way, the outer diameter of the through hole 51 is smaller than the outer diameter of the through hole 51, so that the stud 5 can pass through the stopper 11 and extend into the gap between the core tube 1 and the nut 4 to engage with the nut 4; by making the outer diameter of the stopper 11 larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing ring 3, it is ensured that the stopper 11 and the second sealing ring 3 have a larger contact area, and the annular boss 52 and the stopper 11 cooperate to clamp the second sealing ring 3.

[0042] Preferably, the outer diameter of the annular boss 52 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the second sealing ring 3. In this way, the annular boss 52 and the second sealing ring 3 have a larger contact area, and can better cooperate with the stopper 11 to clamp the second sealing ring 3.

[0043] Preferably, along the radial direction of the annular boss 52, the thickness of the annular boss 52 is greater than the thickness of the second sealing ring 3. In this way, it can be ensured that the second sealing ring 3 fits the annular boss 52 as a whole, and a better axial seal is achieved.

[0044] In the present application, a method for processing a double sealing structure of an automobile air conditioning pipeline is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S01: placing the core tube to be processed at the center position of the rotating wheel bracket;

[0046] S02: The rotating wheel on the rotating wheel bracket is rotated to punch the core tube to be processed along its radial direction to form a receiving groove 12 and a sealing groove 13 for receiving the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring;

[0047] S03: Place the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3 in the accommodating groove 12 and the sealing groove 13 respectively, and connect them through the stud 5 and the nut 4 to form a radial seal for the first sealing ring 2 and an end face seal for the second sealing ring 3.

[0048] In the present application, the core tube to be processed is placed at the center position of the rotating wheel, and the rotating wheel on the rotating wheel bracket is rotated. The rotating wheel will revolve around the center of the product and the rotating wheel itself will also rotate. The rotating wheel is driven by a servo motor to shrink toward the center direction of the core tube, that is, it is stamped along the radial direction of the core tube to be processed to form a receiving groove 12 and a sealing groove 13 for accommodating the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3; then the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3 are placed in the receiving groove 12 and the sealing groove 13 respectively, and connected by the stud 5 and the nut 4 to form a radial seal for the first sealing ring 2 and an end face seal for the second sealing ring 3.

[0049] Preferably, in step S02, the initial speed of the rotating wheel is 4000-6000r / min, and when the core tube to be processed is processed to the preset condition, the speed of the rotating wheel is reduced to 1000r / min. By setting the initial speed of the rotating wheel to be relatively high, when the rotating wheel contacts the core tube to be processed, the core tube to be processed is spin-formed under the action of the revolution and rotation of the rotating wheel, thereby improving the forming efficiency; when the core tube to be processed is processed to the preset condition, the speed of the rotating wheel is controlled at 1000r / min, and the core tube to be processed is polished by the rotating wheel with a relatively low speed, so that the surfaces of the formed accommodating groove 2 and the sealing groove 3 are smooth, which is conducive to assembling the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3, and the end face seal and radial seal are formed by the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 3. The two sealing modes complement each other, and the formed sealing structure has a good sealing effect, which effectively prevents the air conditioner seal from leaking.

[0050] Preferably, the number of the rotating wheels is three, and the angle between two adjacent rotating wheels is 120°. In this way, by setting three rotating wheels and making the angles between two adjacent rotating wheels equal, when the rotating wheels are rotating and spinning, the eccentric force that affects the spinning effect due to asymmetric positions is avoided. Of course, in this embodiment, according to actual conditions and specific needs, the number of the rotating wheels can also be set to four, five, or other multiples, which is not limited here.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
