[0011] Preferably, a limiting ring is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the connecting tube.

The limiting ring can limit the outer sleeve to avoid more or less rotations when the outer sleeve is rotated.

[0012] Preferably, the outer diameter of the inner sleeve matches the inner diameter of the drain pipe, and an elastic sealing ring is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the drain pipe, and the elastic sealing ring fits against the inner wall of the inner sleeve. An annular sealing ring is fixedly mounted on the end surface of the drain pipe in contact with the connecting pipe, wherein the elastic sealing ring can increase the sealing between the drain pipe and the inner sleeve, and when the outer sleeve is threadedly mounted on the outer surfaces of the connecting pipe and the drain pipe, the annular sealing ring on the contact surface of the drain pipe and the connecting pipe will be squeezed against each other and deformed, and can be filled in the gap between the contact surface of the connecting pipe and the drain pipe, thereby improving the sealing between the connecting pipe and the drain pipe.

[0013] The utility model provides a connection device for an air conditioner evaporator, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The connection device of the air conditioner evaporator can prevent the drain pipe and the connecting pipe from rotating relative to each other by first setting the outer sleeve on the outside of the drain pipe and then inserting the limit block into the inside of the limit groove. Then, the outer sleeve is rotated until one end of the outer sleeve contacts the side of the limit ring. The outer sleeve can be limited by the limit ring to prevent the outer sleeve from rotating too many or too few times. At this time, the inner sleeve is located inside the drain pipe, and the connection between the drain pipe and the connecting pipe can be completed. Only the outer sleeve needs to be rotated to connect or disassemble the drain pipe and the connecting pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating the disassembly of the drain pipe and the connecting pipe. The device is simple and convenient to use, and solves the problem that the limiting part of the existing device causes the drain pipe to be inconvenient to be disassembled from the connecting pipe, which is inconvenient to repair or replace the drain pipe and is troublesome to use.

[0015] 2. The connecting device of the air conditioner evaporator can fill the gap between the drain pipe and the inner sleeve through an elastic sealing ring, and when the outer sleeve rotates, the annular sealing ring on the contact surface of the drain pipe and the connecting pipe will squeeze each other and deform, and then fill in the gap between the contact surfaces of the drain pipe and the connecting pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the sealing when the drain pipe and the connecting pipe are connected.

The outer surfaces of the connecting pipe 2 and the drain pipe 7 are respectively provided with a first external thread 4 and a second external thread 8, and the inner part of the outer sleeve 9 is provided with an internal thread 10 matching the first external thread 4 and the second external thread 8, a limiting groove 5 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting pipe 2, and a limiting block 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the drain pipe 7, and the limiting block 11 is movably sleeved inside the limiting groove 5, and a limiting ring 6 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 2. When the ring 6 is threadedly sleeved on the connecting pipe 2, its side surface is fitted with the side surface of the limiting ring 6. By first sleeve-mounting the outer sleeve 9 on the outside of the drain pipe 7 and then inserting the limiting block 11 into the limiting groove 5, the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2 can be prevented from rotating relative to each other. Then, the outer sleeve 9 is rotated until one end of the outer sleeve 9 contacts the side surface of the limiting ring 6. The outer sleeve 9 can be limited by the limiting ring 6 to prevent the outer sleeve 9 from rotating too many or too few times. At this time, the inner sleeve 3 is located inside the drain pipe 7, and the connection between the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2 can be completed. Only the outer sleeve 9 needs to be rotated to connect or disassemble the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the disassembly of the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2, and the use is simple and convenient.

[0024] Embodiment 2:

[0026] Working principle and use process of the utility model: When using the connecting device of the air-conditioning evaporator, the outer sleeve 9 is first sleeved on the outside of the drain pipe 7, and then the limit block 11 is inserted into the inside of the limit groove 5, and the outer sleeve 9 can be rotated until one end of the outer sleeve 9 contacts the side of the limit ring 6. At this time, the inner sleeve 3 is located inside the drain pipe 7, and the elastic sealing ring 12 can be used to fill the gap between the drain pipe 7 and the inner sleeve 3. When the outer sleeve 9 rotates, the annular sealing rings on the contact surfaces of the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2 will squeeze each other and deform, and then fill in the gap between the contact surfaces of the drain pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 2, thereby increasing the sealing when the drain pipe 7 is connected to the connecting pipe 2.
