[0002] The drying cylinder is a commonly used device in the condenser assembly. It is mainly integrated on the condenser and is equipped with drying components such as filters, drying packs, and plugs. The high-temperature gaseous refrigerant becomes liquid after the heat is dissipated by the condenser, and then flows through the drying cylinder through the condenser outlet. The filter and drying pack in the drying cylinder will filter out the moisture and impurities in the refrigerant; the drying cylinder, as a container, also provides a buffer space for the liquid refrigerant in the system, so that the gas and liquid in the system are fully separated, effectively preventing the gaseous refrigerant from entering the evaporator. This ensures the safe operation of the air-conditioning system.

[0023] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In order to meet the needs of diversified installation of drying cylinders and solve the problems of low material utilization and high production cost of existing one-piece extruded drying cylinders, the utility model provides a split drying cylinder for a condenser. By adopting a split structural design and reasonable structural design of each part, the structure of the drying cylinder can be flexible and changeable, thereby meeting different performance and installation requirements.

[0025] The utility model discloses a split drying cylinder for a condenser. Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a welding pipe 3, a lower pipe 1, an end cover 4, and a mounting bracket 2. The welding pipe 3, the lower pipe 1, the end cover 4, and the mounting bracket 2 are independent components, each of which can be processed and designed separately, and then combined to form a drying cylinder as a whole. It can be combined into different structures according to needs to meet product performance and installation requirements. Among them:

[0026] The welding pipe 3 plays a major role as the core module of the overall structure. The outer surface of the welding pipe 3 has a solder layer. The welding pipe 3 of the drying cylinder adopts the solder layer on the outer surface, so that the relevant components of the drying cylinder can be welded with the condenser core at the same time, avoiding the addition of additional processes, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0027] The lower pipe 1 is installed at one end of the welded pipe 3, and its structure is as follows: Figure 3-4 As shown. The lower pipe 1 is cylindrical, and is fixedly sleeved on the end of the welding pipe 3 and limited by the limiting boss. A connecting block 5 is provided on the side of the lower pipe 1, and the connecting block 5 is mainly used to connect the drying cylinder and the condenser. The connecting block 5 can be made into a split component, or it can be integrally formed with the lower pipe 1. In this embodiment, the connecting block 5 is preferably integrally formed with the lower pipe 1. Among them, the connecting block 5 is used to make the drying cylinder offset and installed on the condenser, and its structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, it includes a transition area 5-1 and a connector 5-2. The preferred structure of this embodiment is that the outer wall of the transition area 5-1 includes an arc surface, a long side surface, a connector mounting surface, and a short side surface in sequence.

The structural design of the wavy ribs has a better heat dissipation effect by increasing the surface area, and has a better optimization effect on the welding manufacturing process and the product operation process.

[0028] The end cap 4 is mounted on the other end of the welded pipe 3. A connection block 5 for connecting to the condenser is also provided on the side of the end cap 4. The structure of the connection block 5 is as described above and will not be described again. In this embodiment, the connection block 5 and the end cap 4 are preferably formed in one piece.

[0029] The mounting bracket 2 is arranged on the side opposite to the connecting block 5, and at least two mounting brackets 2 are arranged. This embodiment is described by taking two mounting brackets 2 as an example. The two mounting brackets 2 are fixed to the welding pipe 3 in a dispersed manner along the axial direction. The structure of the mounting bracket 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes a connecting portion 2-2 and a mounting portion 2-1. The connecting portion 2-2 is set to be arc-shaped, and its curvature matches the curvature of the welded pipe. The mounting bracket 2 is welded and fixed to the welded pipe 3 through the connecting portion 2-2. The mounting portion 2-1 is a planar structure, one end of which extends radially outward from the connecting portion 2-2, and a mounting groove 2-3 is provided at the extended end.
