[0024] For the purpose of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are mainly described by reference to examples.

However, it is obvious that for those of ordinary skill in the art, these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, known methods and structures are not described in detail to avoid making these embodiments unnecessarily difficult to understand. In addition, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] Embodiment 1, a gas collecting pipe connecting structure, comprising:
[0027] The gas collecting main pipe 1 is provided with a circulation pipe 2 on the outside of the gas collecting main pipe 1. A connection assembly 3 is provided at the connection between the circulation pipe 2 and the gas collecting main pipe 1. The gas collecting main pipe 1 is used to collect the refrigerant medium, and the circulation pipe 2 is used to circulate the refrigerant medium. The connection assembly 3 is used to connect the circulation pipe 2 with the gas collecting main pipe 1. The specific connection method is as follows:
[0028] The connecting component 3 is set in a "C" shape and is sleeved on the outside of the gas collecting main pipe 1. The connecting component 3 itself can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation to facilitate the installation and removal of the connecting component 3 and the gas collecting main pipe 1. The inner wall of the connecting component 3 is provided with an annular sealing gasket 36 and keeps a seal with the surface of the gas collecting main pipe 1. After the connecting component 3 is tightly sleeved on the gas collecting main pipe 1, the annular sealing gasket 36 can increase the sealing between the inner wall of the connecting component 3 and the surface of the gas collecting main pipe 1. The circulation pipe 2 is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the connecting component 3. The circulation pipe 2 and the connecting component 3 remain relatively fixed and can be separated from the gas collecting main pipe 1 as the connecting component 3 is disassembled. The inner and outer diameters of the circulation pipe 2 and the gas collecting main pipe 1 are respectively consistent, and the circulation pipe 2 is connected to the inner cavity of the gas collecting main pipe 1. Figure 1 As shown, since the circulation pipe 2 is not directly connected to the gas collecting main pipe 1, the outer diameters of the circulation pipe 2 and the gas collecting main pipe 1 can be kept consistent and are both smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting component 3. When the circulation pipe 2 and the connecting component 3 are welded, the strength of the weld will not be easily reduced. In addition, the inner diameter of the circulation pipe 2 is kept consistent with the inner diameter of the gas collecting main pipe 1, which can effectively avoid local interception when the medium flows.
[0029] In order to connect the circulation pipe 2 with the gas collecting main pipe 1, the present application also has a connection port 35 with the same inner diameter as the circulation pipe 2 opened on the surface of the connection component 3, the inner cavity of the circulation pipe 2 corresponds to the connection port 35, and the surface of the gas collecting main pipe 1 also has a hole corresponding to the connection port 35. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting port 35 is used to maintain the connection between the inner cavities of the circulation connecting pipe 2 and the gas collecting main pipe 1. The annular sealing gasket 36 is located around the connecting port 35. The annular sealing gasket 36 can be pre-bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the connecting component 3. After the connecting component 3 is tightly fitted on the gas collecting main pipe 1, the annular sealing gasket 36 can not only improve the sealing between the two, but also increase the friction between the two, thereby preventing the connecting component 3 from moving and rotating, and further preventing the circulation connecting pipe 2 and the gas collecting main pipe 1 from being misaligned.
[0030] In order to connect the circulation connecting pipe 2 with the connecting component 3, the present application also has a circulation pipe 23 fixedly connected to one end of the circulation connecting pipe 2, and a connecting portion 21 is provided at the other end of the circulation connecting pipe 2. The connecting portion 21 is formed by flanging the circulation connecting pipe 2 outward, and the connecting portion 21 is integrally formed with the circulation connecting pipe 2. The connecting portion 21 is saddle-shaped and is welded and fixed to the surface of the connecting component 3. A fillet 22 is provided at the connection between the connecting portion 21 and the circulation connecting pipe 2. The setting of the connecting portion 21 is used to increase the contact area between the circulation connecting pipe 2 and the connecting component 3, thereby improving the stability of the welding fixation. The setting of the fillet 22 is used to reduce the possibility of the circulation connecting pipe 2 being broken, thereby improving the connection strength between the circulation connecting pipe 2 and the connecting component 3.
[0031] In order to further prevent the connection component 3 from moving and rotating, the present application also has a plurality of branch pipes 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the gas collecting main pipe 1 and distributed at equal intervals, and avoidance grooves 33 corresponding to the branch pipes 11 are provided on the edges of both sides of the connection component 3. The avoidance grooves 33 are provided to prevent the connection component 3 from colliding with the branch pipes 11. In addition, after the connection component 3 is tightly sleeved on the outside of the gas collecting main pipe 1, the connection component 3 can shrink inward by a certain distance. At this time, the avoidance grooves 33 just correspond to the branch pipes 11, and the branch pipes 11 can limit the connection component 3, thereby further preventing the possibility of movement and rotation of the connection component 3.
[0032] In order to improve the sealing between the connection component 3 and the gas collecting main pipe 1, the present application also has convex plates 31 fixedly connected to the edges of both sides of the connection component 3, and multiple convex plates 31 and avoidance grooves 33 are provided and spaced apart from each other. A through hole 32 is opened in the middle of the convex plate 31 and the connection component 3 is tightened and fixed by bolts. Figure 4 , Figure 2 and Figure 1 It can be seen that after the connection assembly 3 is tightened by the bolts, it can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation, thereby fitting tightly with the surface of the gas collecting main pipe 1 to improve the sealing performance of the two.
[0033] In order to improve the connection strength between the convex plate 31 and the connecting assembly 3, the present application also has a reinforcing plate 34 fixedly arranged at the connection between the convex plate 31 and the connecting assembly 3, and the reinforcing plate 34 is perpendicular to the surface of the convex plate 31, such as Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcement plate 34 is provided to improve the connection strength between the protruding plate 31 and the connecting component 3 to avoid breakage between the protruding plate 31 and the connecting component 3 .
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
