Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental simulation technology, and in particular to the connection structure and installation method of refrigerant pipelines and enclosures, as well as an environmental test chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Environmental test chambers are primarily used to simulate natural environmental conditions. By placing samples inside, relevant tests are conducted to evaluate the reliability, stability, and other performance characteristics of products under different environments. Temperature is a crucial factor; therefore, environmental test chambers are equipped with a refrigeration system to simulate ambient temperatures. This refrigeration system typically consists of a refrigeration unit located outside the chamber and an evaporator inside, connected by refrigerant piping. The refrigerant circulates within the piping, achieving heat transfer and cooling functions.

[0003] Currently, such as Figure 4 As shown, the walls of an environmental test chamber are generally composed of an inner wall 210, an insulation layer 220, and an outer wall 230. In existing technology, holes are typically drilled in the chamber wall to allow refrigerant pipes 110 to pass through. A fixing adhesive 120 is applied between the refrigerant pipes 110 and the hole wall near the inner side of the environmental test chamber, and an insulation sleeve 130 is used to cover the portion away from the inner side of the environmental test chamber. When the environmental test chamber is subjected to vibration during transportation or operation, gaps often appear between the end of the insulation sleeve 130 and the fixing adhesive 120, as well as between the refrigerant pipes 110, the hole wall, and the fixing adhesive 120. During environmental test chamber testing, especially when conducting tests involving humidity, moisture inside the environmental test chamber can enter between the refrigerant pipes 110 and the insulation layer 220 of the chamber wall through these gaps. The moisture frosts, turns into water, and penetrates the insulation layer 220, causing it to fail. Furthermore, when the original refrigerant piping is welded to the refrigeration unit and evaporator, the high temperature can cause the insulation layer 220 to carbonize and the fixing adhesive 120 to deform. This requires removing the carbonized insulation layer 220 and refilling it, wasting materials and time, increasing costs, and causing the fixing adhesive 120 to deform, creating gaps and leaks. This allows moisture to easily enter the insulation layer 220, causing it to lose its insulation effect. All of these factors will cause temperature fluctuations inside the chamber, making it difficult to meet test requirements, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the environmental test chamber in simulating natural ambient temperatures, and thus negatively impacting the accuracy of product test results.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0042] The present embodiment provides a connection structure of a refrigerant pipeline and a box body, as shown in Figures 1-3As shown, the connecting structure comprises a box body 2 and a refrigerant pipeline 1, the box body 2 comprises an inner wall 21, a thermal insulation layer 22 and an outer wall 23, the thermal insulation layer 22 is located between the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 23, the refrigerant pipeline 1 comprises a refrigerant pipe 11 and a protection assembly 12, the refrigerant pipe 11 penetrates the box body 2 and is used to connect a heat exchange assembly 3 inside the box body 2 and a refrigeration assembly (not shown in the figure) outside the box body 2, the protection assembly 12 covers the refrigerant pipe 11 and penetrates the box body 2 and is fixedly connected with the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 23. The refrigerant pipeline 1 covers the refrigerant pipe 11 by the protection assembly 12 and is fixedly connected with the box wall of the box body 2, since the protection assembly 12 is located between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the box wall of the box body 2, when vibration occurs during transportation or operation, a gap can be prevented from being generated between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the box wall, the entry of internal moisture or external air into the thermal insulation layer 22 is avoided, the temperature stability inside the box is ensured; at the same time, since the protection assembly 12 separates the direct contact between the box body 2 and the refrigerant pipe 11, the high temperature during welding is effectively prevented from being transmitted to the thermal insulation layer 22, and the thermal insulation layer 22 is prevented from being damaged.

[0043] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 one end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly welded with one of the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 23, and the other end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly glued with the other one of the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 23. The welding of one end of the protection assembly 12 can ensure that the protection assembly 12 is firmly connected with the box body 2 and can withstand various stresses during transportation and operation without loosening, thereby providing a solid foundation for the stable operation of the refrigerant pipe 11. The other end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly glued, which is fully considered in view of the installation process requirement. After the welding of one end of the protection assembly 12 is completed, the gluing of the other end of the protection assembly 12 can avoid the damage of the thermal insulation layer 22 caused by the high temperature generated by the subsequent welding, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection and maintaining the integrity and performance of the thermal insulation layer 22. In the embodiment, one end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly welded with the inner wall 21, and the other end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly glued with the outer wall 23. In another alternative embodiment, one end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly welded with the outer wall 23, and the other end of the protection assembly 12 is fixedly glued with the inner wall 21.

[0044] Further, when the protection assembly 12 is welded with the inner wall 21 or the outer wall 23, the contact surface of the two is fully welded, which enhances the strength and sealing performance of the connection part, prevents the connection from loosening or a gap from being generated due to uneven local stress during long-term use, and further prevents the internal moisture or external air, dust and other impurities from invading the thermal insulation layer 22 inside the box body 2 from the welded part, thereby ensuring the dryness and performance stability of the thermal insulation layer 22 and continuously maintaining the precise control of the temperature environment inside the box body 2.

[0045] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the length of the protection assembly 12 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the inner wall 21, the thermal insulation layer 22 and the outer wall 23. The longer protection assembly 12 can form a more comprehensive covering and protection structure at the connecting part of the refrigerant pipe 11 and the cabinet 2. In the scene of transportation or operation vibration, it can provide sufficient buffer space and constraint force, effectively limit the swing range of the refrigerant pipe 11, further reduce the possibility of collision or gap between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the cabinet wall, so as to ensure that the thermal insulation layer 22 is always in a closed and stable environment, maintain its good thermal insulation performance, and ensure the stable temperature in the cabinet.

[0046] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 One end of the protection assembly 12 is flush with the outer surface of the inner wall 21, and the other end of the protection assembly 12 extends out of the outer surface of the outer wall 23 by 10-20mm. This extended part can expand the operation space when fixed by adhesive, which is beneficial to uniform and sufficient application and curing of the adhesive, effectively improves the quality and stability of the adhesive connection, and does not interfere with the distance layout between the refrigeration assembly and the cabinet 2, ensuring the rationality and coordination of the overall structure layout.

[0047] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The refrigerant pipe 11 includes a first covering section 111 and a second covering section 112, the first covering section 111 is covered with the protection assembly 12, and the second covering section 112 is covered with a thermal insulation sleeve (not shown). The second covering section 112 refers to the part of the refrigerant pipe 11 extending outside the cabinet 2 and not covered by the protection assembly 12. Covering the second covering section 112 with a thermal insulation sleeve avoids the part of the refrigerant pipe 11 outside the cabinet 2 being exposed in the area not protected by the protection assembly 12, reduces the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the external environment, reduces the unnecessary dissipation of heat, so that the refrigerant can maintain a relatively constant temperature level throughout the transmission process, and ensures the stable operation of the refrigerant system.

[0048] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The protection assembly 12 includes a sleeve 121 and a filling layer 122, the sleeve 121 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the refrigerant pipe 11, and the gap between them is filled with the filling layer 122, one end of the sleeve 121 is welded and fixed with the inner wall 21, and the other end of the sleeve 121 is adhesively fixed with the outer wall 23. The filling layer 122 can play a dual role of buffering and heat insulation, can absorb the impact force generated by vibration, and the heat insulation reduces the heat transfer between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the sleeve 121, improves the overall thermal insulation performance.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the inner diameter of the sleeve 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the refrigerant pipe 11, the refrigerant pipe 11 passes through the sleeve 121 and has no direct contact with the sleeve 121, the filling layer 122 fills the gap between the sleeve 121 and the refrigerant pipe 11, can be closely attached to the surface of the refrigerant pipe 11 and the sleeve 121, thereby effectively filling the gap between them and ensuring that there is no loosening or falling off under various working conditions.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the sleeve 121 is made of the same material as the outer wall 23 or the inner wall 21, and welding of the same material can ensure the firmness and stability of the welding. In the present embodiment, the inner wall 21 is made of stainless steel and the outer wall 23 is made of carbon steel, and when the sleeve 121 is welded to the inner wall 21, the sleeve 121 is made of stainless steel. In other embodiments, when the sleeve 121 is welded to the outer wall 23, the sleeve 121 is made of carbon steel.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the material of the filling layer 122 is sealing adhesive silicone rubber. It can tightly fill the gap between the sleeve 121 and the refrigerant pipe 11, effectively prevent the intrusion of external air, moisture and other impurities, prevent the failure of the heat preservation layer 22, corrosion of the refrigerant pipe 11 and other problems caused by these factors, and ensure the cleanliness and stable operation of the refrigerant pipe 1 system. Specifically, the sealing adhesive silicone rubber used in the present embodiment is selected from Shin-Etsu KE-45, which has wide temperature range elasticity, strong adhesion to metal and plastic, good weather resistance and corrosion resistance, so it can adapt to temperature changes and chemical corrosion, maintain close combination with the sleeve 121 and the refrigerant pipe 11, and keep the integrity of the protection assembly 12. In other embodiments, glass glue or other types of sealing adhesive silicone rubber can also be used as long as the above effects can be achieved, which are not limited here.

[0052] The present embodiment provides an environmental test chamber, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The environmental test chamber 10 includes a heat exchange assembly 3, a refrigeration assembly, and the above-mentioned connection structure of the refrigerant pipe and the chamber body, and at least two groups of refrigerant pipes 1 are connected with the heat exchange assembly 3 and the refrigeration assembly through the chamber body 2. The specific structure and working principle of the environmental test chamber 10 are both prior art, which will not be described here. By providing the above-mentioned refrigerant pipe 1, when the environmental test chamber 10 is transported or vibrates during operation, the gap between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the chamber wall can be prevented, the internal moisture or external air entering the heat preservation layer 22 to cause its failure can be avoided, the temperature stability in the chamber can be ensured, the accuracy and reliability of the simulated temperature of the environmental test chamber 10 can be improved, and accurate conditions for product testing can be provided; at the same time, direct contact between the chamber body 2 and the refrigerant pipe 11 is avoided, high temperature during welding is effectively prevented from being transmitted to the heat preservation layer 22, and the heat preservation layer 22 is prevented from being damaged.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the refrigerant pipeline 1 is provided with two groups, one group is used for the input of refrigerant, and the other group is used for the output of refrigerant. In other embodiments, the refrigerant pipeline 1 can be provided with three groups, four groups, etc., as long as there is a pipeline that can realize the functions of refrigerant input and output, and the number of refrigerant pipelines 1 is not limited.

[0054] The embodiment also provides a mounting method of the connection structure of the refrigerant pipeline and the box, for mounting the above-mentioned connection structure of the refrigerant pipeline and the box, and the mounting method comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1: The inner wall 21 and the outer wall 23 are provided with mounting holes, one end of the sleeve 121 is flush with the inner wall 21, and the sleeve 121 is fully welded with the mounting hole of the inner wall 21;

[0056] S2: One end of the refrigerant pipe 11 is connected with the heat exchange assembly 3, and the other end is provided with the sleeve 121;

[0057] S3: The thermal insulation layer and the outer wall are sequentially mounted outside the inner wall;

[0058] S4: The other end of the refrigerant pipe is welded with the refrigeration assembly outside the box;

[0059] S5: The sleeve 121 and the refrigerant pipe 11 are sealed and fixed by the filling layer 122;

[0060] S6: The other end of the protective assembly is adhesively fixed with the outer wall.

[0061] The mounting method of the connection structure of the refrigerant pipeline and the box is used to weld one end of the protective assembly 12 with the inner wall 21, sequentially mount the thermal insulation layer 22 and the outer wall 23 after the welding is completed, avoid the damage of high temperature in the welding process to the thermal insulation layer 22, and adhesively fix the protective assembly 12 with the outer wall 23 after the welding of the refrigerant pipe 11 and the refrigeration assembly is completed, to prevent the adverse effects of high temperature welding on the adhesive. When the refrigerant pipe 11 and the refrigeration assembly are welded, the sleeve 121 also avoids the high temperature effect on the thermal insulation layer 22 during welding. The mounting sequence can reduce the performance degradation of materials caused by high temperature, prolong the service life of the thermal insulation layer 22 and the adhesive, and reduce the cost increase and time loss caused by material damage. At the same time, the protective assembly 12 is located between the refrigerant pipe 11 and the box wall of the box 2, which can prevent the two from generating gaps during transportation or running vibration, prevent the internal moisture or external air from entering the thermal insulation layer 22 to cause the failure of the thermal insulation layer 22 to ensure the stability of the temperature in the box, and the close connection structure of the protective assembly 12, the refrigerant pipe 11 and the box 2 can maintain the stability of the structure of the environmental test chamber 10, prevent the refrigerant pipe 11 from deviating and the connection from loosening, ensure the stability of the refrigerant circulation, accurately control the temperature in the box, help the long-term stable operation of the environmental test chamber 10, and improve the accuracy of the test results of the product.

[0062] In the embodiment, after step S6, step S7 is further included, S7: wrapping the second wrapping section 112 of the refrigerant pipe 11 with a thermal insulation sleeve. Wrapping the second wrapping section 112 with the thermal insulation sleeve avoids exposing the refrigerant pipe 11 in the area not protected by the protection assembly 12, reduces heat exchange between the refrigerant and the external environment, reduces unnecessary heat dissipation, and keeps the refrigerant at a relatively constant temperature level during the entire transmission process, thereby ensuring stable operation of the refrigerant system.

[0063] In the embodiment, after step S1 and before step S2, step S10 is further included, S10: applying sealing and bonding silicone rubber to the weld between the protection assembly 12 and the inner wall 21. In this way, the presence of pores or cracks in the weld due to poor welding is prevented, thereby preventing moisture in the box 2 from entering the thermal insulation layer 22 and causing the thermal insulation layer 22 to lose its thermal insulation effectiveness due to water accumulation.

[0064] In another alternative embodiment, the installation method of the connection structure of the refrigerant pipe and the box can also include:

[0065] S1: providing a mounting hole in the outer wall 23, and welding one end of the sleeve 121 to the side wall of the mounting hole;

[0066] S2: threading the other end of the refrigerant pipe 11 through the sleeve 121 and welding it to the refrigeration assembly outside the box 2;

[0067] S3: sequentially installing the thermal insulation layer 22 and the inner wall 21 on the outer wall 23;

[0068] S4: fixedly connecting the other end of the refrigerant pipe 11 to the heat exchange assembly 3 inside the box 2;

[0069] S5: sealing and fixing the sleeve 121 and the refrigerant pipe 11 with the filler layer 122;

[0070] S6: adhesively fixing the other end of the protection assembly 12 to the inner wall 21.

[0071] The beneficial effects achieved by the installation method are exactly the same as those achieved by the above-mentioned installation method, and will not be described here again.
