Description

A drying module and compressor interface connector for an integrated dryer Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated drying machine technology, and more specifically, to a drying module and compressor interface connector for an integrated drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, compressor external pipes are usually rigidly connected. During operation, the compressor vibrates, which can cause the rigid connection pipes near the compressor to loosen or even break, eventually leading to leakage. Neglecting loose pipes for a long time may lead to more serious damage, such as compressor failure, thereby increasing maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a drying module and compressor interface connector for an integrated dryer, providing flexible connection of pipes and reducing the problem of loosening and breakage of connecting pipes caused by vibration.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drying module and compressor interface connector for an integrated drying machine, comprising a connector body, an inner wall of which is provided with a receiving cavity, a gasket installed on the inner wall of the connector body, the gasket sealing the receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity being filled with filler material; the receiving cavity includes a first groove, a first channel, and a second groove, the first groove and the second groove being connected through the first channel; the gasket is provided with a pipe, the pipe including an end, the end being inserted into the gasket, the end having a recess, the gasket having a first protrusion, the first protrusion being inserted into the recess to restrict the end from moving axially along the connector body; including a moving block, the moving block being inserted into the connector body, the moving block being able to move axially along the connector body, the gasket also having a second protrusion, the moving block including a boss, the boss being close to the pipe to push the second protrusion to move radially outward, thereby compressing the volume of the second groove and squeezing the filler material towards the side closer to the first groove.

[0005] The invention is further configured to include a fixed cylinder, which is inserted into the movable block near the pipe. The fixed cylinder has an axially arranged channel two, and the pipe has an air passage two, which communicates with the channel two. The outer wall of the fixed cylinder has a channel three, which communicates with the channel two. The movable block has an air passage three, and a compressor interface connector is installed on the compressor. The air passage three communicates with the compressor outlet. When the movable block is at its extreme position away from the pipe, the air passage three is disconnected from the channel three. When the movable block moves towards the pipe, the air passage three can communicate with the channel three, and the boss pushes the protrusion two radially outward.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a fixing ring one and a fixing ring two are installed at both axial ends of the connector body, and the fixing ring one and the fixing ring two fix the axial ends of the pad cylinder respectively.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the connector body has a mounting hole, a fixing ring is inserted into the mounting hole, the mounting hole includes an extension hole, the extension hole is a tapered hole, the fixing ring has a pressure ring, the pressure ring is inserted into the extension hole, and the pad is inserted between the pressure ring and the extension hole and is pressed by the pressure ring and the extension hole.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the connector body is equipped with a support rod, the support rod is fitted with a spring, the spring is located inside the groove, one end of the spring abuts against the protrusion and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the groove.

[0009] The invention is further configured such that the protrusion is screwed into the recess in a spiral.

[0010] The invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the end is spherical.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the filler is fine sand.

[0012] The invention is further configured such that the two ends of the pad are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the connector body.

[0013] The present invention also adopts the following technical solution: a drying module of an integrated drying machine, including a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, wherein the compressor is equipped with a compressor interface connector.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Because the gasket has good ductility, an elastic connection is formed between the gasket and the end, which is not easy to break. At the same time, it reduces the excessive displacement of the end when the compressor vibrates. In addition, the filler can absorb some vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration of pipe 3 and the loosening and breakage of external connection pipe interfaces caused by vibration.

[0016] 2. The protrusion is close to the pipe to push the second protrusion to move radially outward, thereby compressing the volume of the second tank and squeezing the filler towards the side closer to the first tank. The pressure between the gasket and the end contact part, that is, between the first protrusion and the recess, is greater, thus improving the sealing effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment discloses a drying module and compressor interface connector for an integrated dryer, including a connector body 2, which is installed at the air outlet of the compressor 1. Specifically, the compressor 1 has an interface 11, which is the high-pressure end of the compressor 1. The interface 11 has an air passage 111, which is connected to the connector body 2.

[0028] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the connector body 2 is a cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the connector body 2 has a receiving cavity 22, which includes a first groove 221, a first channel 222, and a second groove 223. The first groove 221 and the second groove 223 are connected through the first channel 222. Specifically, the first groove 221 and the second groove 223 both extend radially inward along the inner wall of the connector body 2 to form an annular groove structure, as shown in Figure 6. The first channel 222 is distributed circumferentially along the connector body 2. During actual processing, the connector body 2 is axially divided into two sections for splicing and installation. The first channel 222 is radially cut into the splicing surface, thus facilitating the separate processing of the two sections of the connector body 2.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2, a plug 23 is installed on the outer wall of the connector body 2. The plug 23 is opened to add filler 24 to the receiving cavity 22. The filler 24 is fine sand or other fine particles.

[0030] A gasket 6 is installed on the inner wall of the connector body 2. The gasket 6 is made of aluminum or other metal with good ductility, and the thickness of the gasket 6 is 0.3mm-0.8mm. As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the left end of the connector body 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21. The fixing ring 4 is threaded into the mounting hole 21. The mounting hole 21 includes an extension hole 211, which is a tapered hole. The fixing ring 4 is provided with a pressure ring 41, which is inserted into the extension hole 211. The end of the gasket 6 is stretched and expanded to form a tapered shape. The axial end of the gasket 6 is inserted between the pressure ring 41 and the extension hole 211 and is pressed tightly by the pressure ring 41 and the extension hole 211.

[0031] Similarly, as shown in Figure 2, a retaining ring 7 is installed on the right end of the connector body 2, and the retaining ring 7 also uses the above method to fix the right end of the pad 6. At the same time, the two ends of the pad 6 are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the connector body 2 along the axial direction to improve structural stability.

[0032] Referring to Figures 2-4, the pad cylinder 6 is provided with a first protrusion 61 and a second protrusion 62. Both the first protrusion 61 and the second protrusion 62 protrude radially inward along the inner wall of the pad cylinder 6, and the first protrusion 61 and the second protrusion 62 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the pad cylinder 6. The first protrusion 61 is spiral-shaped, and the second protrusion 62 is annular.

[0033] The gasket 6 is fitted with a pipe 3, and a plug ring 5 is installed at the left end of the connector body 2. The pipe 3 passes through the plug ring 5, with one end connected to an external pipeline and the other end being an end piece 31. The outer wall of the end piece 31 is spherical, and the end piece 31 is inserted into the gasket 6. The end piece 31 has a recess 311, and a protrusion 61 is inserted into the recess 311 to restrict the axial movement of the end piece 31 along the connector body 2. To be precise, the protrusion 61 is screwed into the recess 311, but in actual operation, the pipe 3 is rotated to make the end piece 31 rotate.

[0034] After the protrusion 61 mates with the recess 311, the filler 24 is injected under high pressure to make the protrusion 61 and the wall of the recess 311 interlock tightly. Because the gasket 6 has good ductility, an elastic connection is formed between the gasket 6 and the end 31, which is not easy to break. At the same time, it reduces the excessive displacement of the end 31 when the compressor 1 vibrates during operation. In addition, the filler 24 can absorb some vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration of the pipeline 3 and the loosening and breakage of the various external connecting pipe interfaces caused by vibration.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the second fixing ring 7 has a through hole 71, which axially passes through the second fixing ring 7 and connects to the first air passage 111. A movable block 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second fixing ring 7. The movable block 8 is inserted into the connector body 2 and can move axially along the connector body 2.

[0036] A fixed cylinder 73 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable block 8. The fixed cylinder 73 is inserted into the side of the movable block 8 closest to the pipe 3. The countersunk hole of the movable block 8 only forms an opening on the side facing the pipe 3. A fixed rod 72 is installed on the fixed ring 7. The fixed rod 72 passes through the movable block 8 and is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder 73.

[0037] The fixed cylinder 73 has an axial channel 731, which is connected to the second air passage 32. The outer wall of the fixed cylinder 73 has a third channel 732, which is connected to the second channel 731. The moving block 8 has a third air passage 81, as shown in Figure 7. Multiple third air passages 81 are distributed along the circumference of the moving block 8. The third air passages 81 are connected to the first air passage 111 through the through hole 71.

[0038] When the moving block 8 is at its extreme position far from the pipe 3, the air passage 3 81 is disconnected from the orifice 3 732. When the air passage 111 releases high-pressure gas, the gas pushes the moving block 8 to move closer to the pipe 3. The air passage 3 81 can then connect with the orifice 3 732 to deliver the gas into the air passage 2 32. The moving block 8 includes a boss 82. During this movement, the boss 82 moves closer to the pipe 3 to push the second protrusion 62 to move radially outward, thereby compressing the volume of the second groove 223 and squeezing the filler 24 towards the side closer to the first groove 221. The pressure between the gasket 6 and the end 31, i.e., the protrusion 61 and the recess 311, is greater, improving the sealing effect.

[0039] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the connector body 2 is equipped with support rods 26. Multiple support rods 26 are distributed around the circumference of the connector body 2. Each support rod 26 is fitted with a spring 25. The spring 25 is located inside the groove 223. One end of the spring 25 abuts against the protrusion 62 and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the groove 223 to facilitate the rebound of the protrusion 62. The protrusion 62 and the boss 82 are always in close contact to form a seal.

[0040] It also includes a second spring 9, which is located inside the connector body 2. One end of the second spring 9 abuts against the end 31 and the other end abuts against the boss 82. The arrangement of the second spring 9 makes the boss 61 and the recess 311 fit more tightly in the axial direction of the connector body 2, while providing a restoring force for the movement of the boss 82.

[0041] A drying module for an integrated drying machine includes a housing 12, on which a compressor 1, a condenser 14, and an evaporator 13 are integrated.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
