Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the development of the modern automobile industry, the comfort and convenience of vehicles have become one of the focuses of consumers' attention, among which the performance and reliability of automobile air-conditioning systems are particularly critical. As an indispensable part of automobile air-conditioning systems, air-conditioning liquid storage dryers can hold a certain amount of refrigerant to ensure that the air-conditioning system has enough refrigerant to complete the refrigeration cycle. They also contain desiccant inside, which can absorb moisture and other impurities in the refrigerant to prevent these substances from causing damage to the air-conditioning system, such as ice blockage or corrosion of metal parts, and filter out particulate matter that may be present in the refrigerant, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air-conditioning system.
[0003] However, current automotive air-conditioning reservoirs generally adopt an integrated structural design. Although this structure simplifies the manufacturing process and enhances structural stability, during the use of the reservoir, the desiccant in the reservoir will gradually absorb moisture and other impurities in the refrigerant until saturation. When the desiccant reaches its moisture absorption limit and loses the ability to further absorb, and the internal filter structure is blocked, the entire reservoir must be replaced and disassembled, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also requires operations such as refrigerant recovery during replacement, so technicians must use corresponding professional tools to operate. It also takes a long time to re-inject refrigerant after installation and replacement, resulting in overall time-consuming and labor-intensive maintenance and low efficiency. Summary of the invention

Then, after the connecting locking pin 608 in the half-open locking groove 603 is completely disengaged, the second tank body 4 can be completely removed, and the sequential closing mechanism and locking structure of the one-way delivery valve 501 ensure that the refrigerant will not accidentally flow out even during the disassembly process, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown, preferably, the top end of the third tank body 7 of the liquid storage device is detachably and closedly connected to the bottom end of the second tank body 4 by screwing, and a plurality of unit filter screens 702 are stacked inside the closed filter bin 701, and the unit filter screen 702 includes a fixed mounting ring 703, and the fixed mounting ring 703 is nested and slidably connected to the closed filter bin 701, and a unit delivery pipe 705 is connected to the center of the fixed mounting ring 703, and the upper and lower ends of the unit delivery pipe 705 are both provided with serial interfaces 707, and the adjacent unit delivery pipes 705 are connected to each other through the serial interfaces 707, and the unit delivery pipes 705 are connected to each other through the serial interfaces 707. The unit delivery pipe 705 is connected to the bottom end of the second delivery pipe 406 through a serial interface 707, and a lateral opening 706 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the unit delivery pipe 705. After the refrigerant is delivered to the inside of the third tank body 7, it will be filtered through a plurality of unit filters 702 in sequence. The filtered refrigerant is delivered to the unit delivery pipe 705 through the lateral opening 706, and is delivered upward to the second delivery pipe 406 through a plurality of unit delivery pipes 705 in sequence, and is delivered to the first delivery pipe 3 in sequence to complete the filtering work. The unit filters 702 are designed as a unit structure and are stacked inside the third tank body 7 to facilitate their replacement.
[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown, preferably, an annular filter frame 8 is nested and slidably arranged inside the fixed mounting ring 703 of the liquid storage device, an edge sealing ring 805 is arranged around the edge of the annular filter frame 8, a central filter screen 801 is arranged in the middle of the annular filter frame 8, a closed sleeve 802 is arranged in the center of the annular filter frame 8, the closed sleeve 802 is nested and slidably arranged on the outside of the unit delivery pipe 705, the bottom end of the closed sleeve 802 is connected to the easy-folding support frame 803, and a preset easy-folding 801 is arranged in the middle of the easy-folding support frame 803. 4. The bottom end of the closed sleeve 802 is connected to the bottom end of the unit delivery pipe 705 through the foldable support frame 803. A plurality of edge communication grooves 704 are arranged around the lower half of the fixed mounting ring 703. When the refrigerant is filtered, it will be filtered through the central filter screen 801. After passing through the central filter screen 801 downward, it will be preferentially transported to the unit delivery pipe 705 through the side opening 706, and then transported upward to the second delivery pipe 406 through the plurality of unit delivery pipes 705 for output. When the central filter screen 801 is blocked, the refrigerant will be discharged to the second delivery pipe 406. After being blocked, the overall resistance is greatly increased, which will push the annular filter frame 8 and the central filter screen 801 to move downward as a whole. When the blockage degree of the central filter screen 801 reaches the set value, that is, the resistance is greater than the complete deformation support force of the easy-folding support frame 803, the easy-folding support frame 803 cannot support and completely break along the preset easy-folding bend 804. After losing the supporting force, the central filter screen 801 slides downward to the bottom of the unit delivery pipe 705. At this time, the closing sleeve 802 completely covers and closes the lateral opening 706 on the corresponding unit delivery pipe 705, and the edge sealing ring 805 at the edge of the annular filter frame 8 moves to the bottom of the edge connecting groove 704. At this time, the refrigerant will preferentially pass through the edge connecting groove 704 to bypass the top central filter screen 801 and be transported to the bottom, and then be filtered through the central filter screen 801 below, so that the stacked multi-layer unit filter screens 702 can realize the filtering work in sequence, so that the automatic response mechanism after the central filter screen 801 is blocked is realized through the easy-folding support frame 803 and the preset easy-folding bend 804 structure. When the central filter 801 is clogged, causing the resistance to flow to increase, the system can automatically adjust to move the annular filter frame 8 and the central filter 801 downward as a whole, ensuring the smooth flow of the refrigerant and avoiding system failures caused by filter blockage.
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown, preferably, after the humidity sensor 904 of the liquid reservoir detects that the humidity is too high, the car computer connected to the liquid reservoir will control the unlocking coil 607, and the magnetic force generated by energizing the unlocking coil 607 controls the connection locking pin 608 of the ferromagnetic material to move and unlock. First, the connection locking pin 608 in the connection locking groove 602 is disengaged from the connection locking groove 602, maintaining a semi-open state, and the refrigerant is vaporized and expanded by heating and flows back to the first tank body 2 to achieve refrigerant recovery. Then, the connection locking pin 608 in the semi-open locking groove 603 is controlled to completely disengage, and the second tank body 4 naturally moves downward and separates from the first tank body 2. At the same time, the distance between the first tank body 2 and the second tank body 4 is controlled by the magnetic attraction of the reset electromagnet 604 to prevent the second tank body 4 from falling and separating completely. At this time, all the one-way valves are closed, and then the annular electric heating tube 9 The desiccant, which is generally a molecular sieve, stored in the desiccant storage bin 401 can be heated and dried through multiple heating fins 901, and the electromagnetic switch valve 903 is opened at the same time to discharge the heated water vapor through the heating output pipe 902. After a period of heating and drying, when the humidity sensor 904 detects that the humidity meets the standard, the first tank body 2 and the second tank body 4 are reconnected by attracting the magnetic force of the reset electromagnet 604, and the electromagnetic switch valve 903 and the annular electric heating tube 9 are closed, and the connection locking pin 608 is reset at the same time. Therefore, by installing the humidity sensor 904 inside the desiccant storage bin 401, real-time monitoring of excessive desiccant humidity is achieved. Once the humidity exceeds the standard, the system can automatically trigger a series of operations, including unlocking, refrigerant recovery, desiccant heating and drying, etc., which is beneficial to further improve the service life and maintenance cycle of the liquid storage device.
[0055] The stacked liquid storage device for automobile air conditioner provided by the present invention has a main tank body 1 of the liquid storage device which is composed of a first tank body 2, a second tank body 4 and a third tank body 7 stacked in sequence from top to bottom. The tank bodies can be detachably connected to each other, and the pipeline conveying structure between the tank bodies is connected by a plug-in quick-connect quick-disconnect structure, so that the second tank body 4 and the third tank body 7, i.e., the desiccant storage bin 401 and the closed filter bin 701, can be quickly disassembled and installed. When the desiccant needs to be replaced or the filter needs to be cleaned, it is only necessary to disassemble the second tank body 4 and the third tank body 7 to complete the work without replacing the entire liquid storage device. During maintenance, the refrigerant is still stored in the first tank body 2, and there is no need to release, recover and re-pressurize the refrigerant, which not only saves material costs but also improves maintenance efficiency.
