[0030] Example:

[0031] See also Figure 1-4 A copper capillary tube for refrigeration equipment comprises a bracket 1 and a copper capillary tube body 3, a filter assembly 4 is arranged at the water inlet end of the copper capillary tube body 3, and the copper capillary tube body 3 is arranged in a spiral shape;

[0032] The filter assembly 4 includes a sleeve 41 fixedly connected to the copper capillary body 3, a connecting groove is provided at one end of the sleeve 41 away from the copper capillary body 3, and a connecting pipe 42 connected to the connecting groove is provided at the outer end of the sleeve 41, the copper capillary body 3 is connected to the connecting groove, and a filter cartridge 44 matching the connecting groove is arranged inside the sleeve 41, and a plurality of evenly distributed filter holes are provided at the outer end of the filter cartridge 44.

[0033] In this solution, the connecting pipe 42 and one end of the copper capillary body 3 are connected to the evaporator and the outdoor unit respectively, so as to throttle and reduce the pressure of the high-pressure Freon refrigerant from the condenser into a low-pressure Freon refrigerant, which then vaporizes and absorbs heat in the evaporator to realize the refrigeration process.

[0034] When the refrigerant enters the sleeve 41 through the connecting pipe 42, the filter cylinder 44 can intercept impurities and ice crystals in the refrigerant. The filtered refrigerant is transported through the copper capillary body 3, which plays an effective filtering role and reduces the probability of impurities and ice crystals in the copper capillary body 3 hindering the flow of refrigerant or causing rust blockage in the tube.

[0035] See also Figure 2-4 The outer end of the filter cartridge 44 is provided with a reserved hole connected to the connecting pipe 42, and the reserved hole corresponds to the position of the connecting pipe 42, so that the refrigerant at the connecting pipe 42 can smoothly enter the filter cartridge 44, thereby achieving the filtering effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, a connection cover 43 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the filter cartridge 44 . The connection cover 43 covers the opening of the communication groove. The connection cover 43 is used to close the communication groove.

[0037] See also Figure 3 The connecting groove is composed of a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is connected to the second through hole, and the aperture of the first through hole is smaller than the aperture of the second through hole. The filter cartridge 44 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole. Since the filter cartridge 44 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole, the refrigerant discharged from the connecting pipe 42 can smoothly enter the filter cartridge 44 for filtration. However, the filtered refrigerant can be discharged into the second through hole through the external filter hole, and finally discharged through the copper capillary body 3.

[0038] See also Figure 4-5 The filter assembly 4 also includes a bolt 46. The outer ends of the connecting cover 43 and the sleeve 41 are fixedly connected to the connecting blocks 45. A pair of connecting blocks 45 are each provided with a through hole. The bolt 46 passes through the pair of through holes. The outer surface of the bolt 46 is threadedly connected to a nut 48. The outer surface of the bolt 46 is provided with a pair of gaskets 47. The pair of gaskets 47 are respectively abutted against the outer ends of the pair of connecting blocks 45.

[0039] This solution can fix the connection cover 43 and the sleeve 41 by using the mutual cooperation of the bolts 46 and the nuts 48. The staff can regularly disassemble and clean the filter cartridge 44. During the cleaning process of the filter cartridge 44, the connection cover 43 and the sleeve 41 can be released from the restriction by removing the nuts 48, and then the filter cartridge 44 can be removed from the sleeve 41 to clean the impurities trapped in the filter cartridge 44 without disassembling the entire copper capillary body 3.

[0040] See also Figure 1 A plurality of card blocks 2 are installed on the inner side of the bracket 1, and each of the plurality of card blocks 2 is provided with a card slot matching the copper capillary body 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is fixed by using screws, and the spirally arranged copper capillary body 3 is fixed to the slot of the copper capillary body 3, which can fix the copper capillary body 3. The multi-point fixing method can reduce the probability of the copper capillary body 3 moving or falling off due to external force.

[0042] Working principle: by connecting the connecting pipe 42 and one end of the copper capillary body 3 to the evaporator and the outdoor unit respectively, the high-pressure Freon refrigerant from the condenser is throttled and reduced in pressure to a low-pressure Freon refrigerant, and then vaporized and absorbed heat in the evaporator to realize the refrigeration process. When the refrigerant enters the sleeve 41 through the connecting pipe 42, the filter cartridge 44 is capable of intercepting impurities and ice crystals in the refrigerant, and the filtered refrigerant is transported through the copper capillary body 3 to play an effective filtering role. The staff can regularly disassemble and clean the filter cartridge 44. During the cleaning process of the filter cartridge 44, the connection cover 43 and the sleeve 41 can be released by removing the nut 48, and then the filter cartridge 44 is removed from the sleeve 41 to clean the impurities trapped in the filter cartridge 44.

[0043] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
