[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail in combination with the embodiments below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0029] Two specific application examples of the utility model embodiment are:

[0030] Example 1: Home air conditioning system

[0031] In the home air conditioning system, the temperature sensing tube sleeve is installed on the top of the U tube. The temperature sensing tube sleeve is perpendicular to the center line of the U tube, which means that the temperature sensing tube sleeve directly faces the center of the U tube, forming a 90° angle. The welding point is at the top of the U tube to ensure that the temperature sensing tube sleeve is firmly connected to the U tube.

[0032] In a home air conditioning system, this installation method of the temperature sensing tube sleeve can ensure accurate monitoring of the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the U tube. This vertical installation method makes the temperature sensing tube sleeve very sensitive to the temperature changes of the flowing refrigerant, thereby improving the accuracy and response speed of the air conditioning temperature control.

[0033] Example 2: Industrial Refrigeration System

[0034] In industrial refrigeration systems, the temperature sensing tube sleeve is located outside the U tube. The temperature sensing tube sleeve is tangent to the U tube along the outer arc of the U tube. This configuration makes the temperature sensing tube sleeve partially wrapped around the outside of the U tube. The welding points are distributed along the outer arc of the U tube, so that the temperature sensing tube sleeve and the U tube form a surrounding connection.

[0035] In large industrial refrigeration systems, this wraparound connection can provide a wider temperature monitoring range. This is very important for large refrigeration systems because they need to control the temperature evenly in a larger space. This configuration of the temperature sensing tube sleeve helps to detect the temperature of the entire system more evenly, ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the cooling effect.

[0036] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a temperature sensing tube sleeve and U-tube welding assembly and welding equipment for air conditioners.

[0040] Type B: The temperature sensing tube sleeve is at the top of the U tube, perpendicular to the center line of the U tube, and can be at any position from 0 to 180°;

[0041] Type C: The temperature sensing tube sleeve is outside the U tube and is tangent to the U tube along the outer arc of the U tube. The cutting angle ɑ can be at any position between 0 and 180°.

[0046] Furthermore, a nitrogen nozzle 310 is provided in front of the tunnel nitrogen hood 311 .

[0047] Another object of the utility model is to provide a rotary welding device for a temperature-sensitive tube sleeve and a U-tube welding assembly for an air conditioner, the rotary welding device for a temperature-sensitive tube sleeve and a U-tube welding assembly for an air conditioner comprising a rotating platform 501, a positioning tool 308 fixed around the rotating platform 501, a driving motor 303 fixed in the middle below the rotating platform, a heating zone 305 and a welding zone 306 located at one end of the rotating platform, a loading zone 304 located at the other end of the rotating platform symmetrical to the heating zone 305 and the welding zone 306, and a blanking chute fixed on the side of the rotating platform at the outlet of the welding zone 306.

[0048] Furthermore, a nitrogen pipe is laid on the 501 rotating platform.

[0049] Furthermore, the positioning tool 308 passes through the heating zone 305 and the welding zone 306 .

[0050] The working principle of the linear welding equipment for the thermosensitive tube sleeve and U-tube welding assembly for air conditioners: In the loading area 304, the operator places the thermosensitive tube sleeve 1 and the U-tube 2 on the positioning fixture 308, and places the fixed-length solder at the junction of the thermosensitive tube sleeve 1 and the U-tube 2; the conveyor plate chain 312 is driven by the drive motor 303, and the product to be welded passes through the heating area 305 together with the fixture for preheating, and then goes to the welding area 306 to completely melt the solder. The U-tube 2 and the thermosensitive tube sleeve 1 complete the welding process in the welding area 306, cool naturally to room temperature or water-cool through the water injection nozzle 309, and are driven by the conveyor plate chain 312 to the blanking slide 307 to form a complete thermosensitive tube sleeve welding assembly product.

[0051] In the welding area 306, the time that the workpiece to be welded is in the welding area can be set by adjusting the speed of the driving motor 303, and the solder is completely melted by adjusting the heating temperature. At the same time, the temperature cannot be too high to cause the copper tubes of the U tube 2 and the temperature sensing tube sleeve 1 to be overburned.

The U tube 2 and the temperature sensing tube sleeve 1 complete the welding process in the welding area 306, cool naturally to room temperature or cool by water through the water injection nozzle, and then go to the blanking slide 307 to form a complete temperature sensing tube sleeve welding assembly product.

[0054] In the welding area 306, the time that the workpiece to be welded is in the welding area can be set by adjusting the speed of the driving motor 303, and the solder can be completely melted by adjusting the heating temperature. At the same time, the temperature cannot be too high to cause the copper tube of the U tube 2 and the temperature sensing tube sleeve 1 to overburn. This parameter is solidified to form a stable process parameter. A nitrogen pipe 502 is laid on the rotating platform 501, and nitrogen passes through the blowing holes reserved on the positioning tooling 308, such as Figure 4 Nitrogen can be optionally filled into the U tube 2 through the blowing hole 402 to prevent oxidation during welding and ensure welding quality.
