[0011] The two L-shaped tubes correspond to each other, and the tube clamp structure connects and fixes the two L-shaped tubes.

[0012] Furthermore, the pipe clamp structure includes a metal clamp, two locking sleeves, and an installation locking member.

[0013] The metal clip is composed of two L-shaped plates that are integrally formed and matched. The clip has two clamping spaces and two locking notches.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking sleeve is made of rubber, a slot matching the clamping space is provided on the outer wall of the locking sleeve, and a toothed friction strip abutting against the L-shaped tube is provided on the inner wall of the locking sleeve.

[0017] Furthermore, the locking piece is in an I-shape and is made of rubber.

[0018] Furthermore, one L-shaped plate of the metal clip is provided with a pressing piece, and the other L-shaped plate of the clip is provided with a pressing groove corresponding to the pressing piece.

[0019] Furthermore, the hose comprises a five-layer structure of an inner rubber layer, a shielding layer, a middle rubber layer, a reinforcing layer and an outer rubber layer, wherein the reinforcing layer is placed between the middle rubber layer and the outer rubber layer and bonds the middle rubber layer and the outer rubber layer;

This structure increases the force-bearing area of ​​the hose after buckling, enhances its blasting ability, and improves the pressure resistance of the pipeline;

[0025] 3. For the hose, the four-layer hose structure is cancelled and the five-layer hose structure is adopted.

Combined with the connection section structure, it can be sealed directly by buckling, which improves production efficiency and enhances the sealing performance of the air conditioning pipeline;

[0026] 4. The material selection structure of the hose is optimized. The inner rubber layer on the hose wall greatly improves the pressure resistance and anti-leakage performance of the hose, and there is no need to apply glue before crimping (the original hose crimping process: pre-installation → gluing → crimping, the current hose crimping process: pre-installation → crimping), which reduces a manual operation link and improves production efficiency;

[0027] 5. The integrated pipe clamp structure can more stably fix the two L-shaped pipes together, thereby improving the overall stability of the pipeline assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The automobile air-conditioning pipeline assembly includes a special-shaped tube 1, two L-shaped tubes 2, two hoses 3, four sleeves 4 and a tube clamp structure 5. The special-shaped tube 1 and the L-shaped tube 2 are both made of metal material. The special-shaped tube 1 and the L-shaped tube both have a connecting section 1a, and the connecting section 1a has a plurality of annular groove structures. The sleeve 4 is sleeved on one end of the hose 3. The connecting section 1a passes through the sleeve 4 and is inserted into one end of the hose 3. The connecting section 1a, the hose 3 and the sleeve 4 can be connected by crimping a crimping machine. The sleeve 4 is also made of metal. The crimping machine is used to crimp so that a protrusion structure that matches the annular groove structure is formed on the sleeve 4.

[0037] The special-shaped tube 1, the L-shaped tube 2 and the hose 3 are connected together through the sleeve 4. The special-shaped tube 1 and the L-shaped tube 2 are used as the main pipelines, and the hose 3 is used as the auxiliary connecting pipeline, so that the angle of the pipeline as a whole can be adjusted in the space; and the special-shaped tube 1 and the L-shaped tube 2 made of metal are used as the main parts, so that the installation and fixation in the space is more stable and not easy to shake due to force;

[0038] After testing, the pipeline assembly of the utility model has a bursting pressure requirement of ≥12Mpa, and the test meets the requirements of QC / T664-2000. When pressurized to 22Mpa, the hose ruptures, and there is no leakage in the metal pipe and hose combination, which exceeds the national standard by about 1 times. The detection performance of the metal pipe connection section and the hose in the utility model after buckling and riveting is better than the national standard.

[0039] The two L-shaped tubes 2 correspond to each other, and the tube clamp structure 5 includes a metal clamp 51, two locking sleeves 52, and an installation locking member 53.

One L-shaped plate 51a of the clamp 51 has a pressing sheet 51b, and the other L-shaped plate 51a of the clamp 51 has a pressing groove 503 corresponding to the pressing sheet 51b. The locking sleeve 52 is made of rubber, and a slot 504 cooperating with the clamping space 501 is provided on the outer wall of the locking sleeve 52, and a toothed strip 52a that contacts the L-shaped tube 2 is provided on the inner wall of the locking sleeve 52; the locking sleeve 52 has a C-shaped cross-section and is clamped in the clamping space 501, and the L-shaped tube 2 can pass through the locking sleeve 52; two locking notches 502 are placed at the ends of the clip 51 and correspond to each other, and the installation locking piece 53 can be inserted into the two locking notches 502, and the installation locking piece 53 is I-shaped and is composed of a combination of rubber and metal.

[0040] When fixing the two L-shaped tubes 2, firstly pass the two L-shaped tubes 2 through the two locking sleeves 52 respectively, then open the metal clip 51 and move the positions of the two L-shaped tubes 2 so that the card slots 504 on the two anti-seismic locking sleeves 52 are respectively inserted into the two clamping spaces 501, and finally the metal clip 51 is pressed together to align the two locking notches 502, and then the I-shaped installation locking piece 53 is inserted into the locking notch 502, and finally the pressing sheet 51b is bent until it passes through the pressing groove 503 and abuts against the other L-shaped plate 51a; the C-shaped anti-seismic locking sleeve 52 can not only realize its convenient installation, but also cooperate with the friction strip 52a arranged therein, so that when the clip 51 is pressed together, the friction force between the friction strip 52a and the L-shaped tube 2 is increased; in this way, the two L-shaped tubes 2 can be fixed together, so that they are not easily shaken by external force after installation.

[0041] The hose 3 comprises an inner rubber layer 3a, a shielding layer 3b, a middle rubber layer 3c, a reinforcing layer 3d and an outer rubber layer 3e. The reinforcing layer 3d is placed between the inner middle rubber layer 3c and the outer rubber layer 3e and bonds the middle rubber layer 3c and the outer rubber layer 3e.

[0042] Hose 1: The inner rubber layer 3a is made of oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber, the shielding layer 3b is made of nylon, the reinforcing layer 3d is made of fabric bonded with the middle rubber layer 3c and the outer rubber layer 3e, and the outer rubber layer 3e is made of heat-resistant and ozone-resistant rubber;

[0043] Hose 2: The inner rubber layer 3a is made of oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber, the reinforcement layer 3d is made of fabric, and the outer layer is made of heat-resistant fabric impregnated with synthetic rubber.

[0044] The inner rubber layer 3a on the hose 3 greatly improves the pressure resistance and anti-leakage performance of the hose 3, and no glue coating is required before buckling, which reduces a manual operation link, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the pipeline.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
