Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air-conditioning pipelines, in particular to a single-welding-point air-conditioning branch pipe. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning branch pipes, also known as household air conditioning branch pipes, branch pipes, multi-split branch pipes, etc., are used to connect the main unit and multiple terminal devices in the air conditioning system. Their main function is to divert the air conditioning refrigerant.

[0003] At present, most of the air-conditioning branch pipes circulating on the market are of "Y-type" structure, and there are often multiple welding points at the branch points of the pipes. As a result, it is easy for the refrigerant to leak through the weak welding points of the branch pipes during the use of the air-conditioning branch pipes, causing economic losses.

[0004] During the installation of air-conditioning pipes, the air-conditioning branch pipe needs to connect multiple external pipes and pipe joints. The diameters of the external pipes, pipe joints and branch pipes are often different. Operators need to carry branch pipes or adapters of different specifications to adapt to different pipe diameters, which causes great inconvenience to the operators during installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a single-welding-point air-conditioning branch pipe, which has only one welding point, can reduce the refrigerant leakage of the air-conditioning branch pipe, and can be connected with external pipes or pipe joints of different specifications.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A single-weld-point air-conditioning branch pipe comprises a main pipe, the main pipe comprises a first pipe and a second pipe, the first pipe is connected to the second pipe, a diversion joint perpendicular to and connected to the first pipe is provided at the connection point between the first pipe and the second pipe, the first pipe, the second pipe and the diversion joint are integrally formed, and a branch pipe is welded to the diversion joint.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0009] 1. The utility model forms another air-conditioning branch pipe other than the "Y-type" air-conditioning branch pipe structure through the cooperation of the flow splitter joint and the first pipe and the second pipe integrally formed therewith, so as to meet the use of other specific occasions and enrich the shapes and types of air-conditioning branch pipes; in addition, the air-conditioning branch pipe of the utility model has the first pipe, the second pipe and the flow splitter joint integrally formed, and only one welding point exists at the connection between the branch pipe and the flow splitter joint, which overcomes the defect of multiple welding points at the connection of the traditional branch pipe and reduces the probability of refrigerant leakage in the air-conditioning branch pipe;

[0010] 2. The first pipeline has a plurality of different pipe diameters by forming the expanded portion A through the expansion process on the second pipeline. The operator can choose to cut the expanded portion A according to the actual situation to achieve the connection of the first pipeline with external pipes or pipe joints of different specifications;

[0011] 3. The second pipeline has multiple different pipe diameters by expanding the expanded portion B formed by the expansion process on the first pipeline. The operator can choose to cut the expanded portion B according to the actual situation to achieve the connection of the second pipeline with external pipes or pipe joints of different specifications;

[0012] 4. The branch pipe has a plurality of different pipe diameters by forming a shrinking portion through shrinking processing on the branch pipe. The operator can choose to cut at any section of the shrinking portion according to the actual situation to achieve the branch pipe connection with external pipes or pipe joints of different specifications.
