Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air cooler pipe boxes, in particular to a thread plugging structure at the end of a heating and ventilation pipeline. Background Art

[0002] The thread plug type air cooler tube box is also called the plug type air cooler tube box. The structure is usually that there is a thread plug (i.e., screw plug) at the end of each finned tube, which is convenient for expanding the finned tube during assembly and cleaning the tube bundle during maintenance. This type of tube box is used as a basic type because of its simple manufacturing and is widely used in medium and low pressure tube bundles. Existing thread plugs are often connected to the pipeline through the surface threads. Although they can provide a certain dust and leak-proof structure for the pipeline opening and facilitate the pipeline's own pressure resistance test, it is difficult for the existing thread plugs to quantify the pressure at the connection with the pipeline, and it is difficult for maintenance personnel to know the degree of wear of the thread plug, which delays the replacement of the thread plug, affects the normal use of the pipeline, and makes it difficult for maintenance personnel to inspect and maintain, which is not conducive to the sealing connection at the pipeline opening. To this end, we propose a thread plug structure at the end of the HVAC pipeline that can reduce the difficulty of maintenance and prevent delays in the replacement of the thread plug structure.

An inflatable and deformable air bag is fixed to one end of the central tube 4 through a plastic film 7 connected by gluing, and the air pressure intensity of the air bag is transmitted to a barometer 8 through the central tube 4, and the air bag comprises a drainage tube 5 and an air bag body 6, and the drainage tube 5 runs through the interior of the central tube 4 tangent to the axis.

[0020] A pressure gauge 8 is installed at the other end of the center tube 4 relative to the end where the inflatable bag is located. An inflation and exhaust structure is connected through the surface of the center tube 4. The inflation and exhaust structure can pump or exhaust the gas in the inflatable bag. When the gas inside the inflatable bag is discharged, the volume of the inflatable bag can be reduced, which is convenient for the connection of the threaded tube 1 with the external HVAC pipeline. The inflation and exhaust structure includes an air pipe 11 that penetrates the center tube 4. The air pipe 11 has a plug 13 connected to the inner thread. The diameter of the air pipe 11 does not exceed half of the diameter of the center tube 4. Through the connection of the air pipe 11 with an external air pump, the center tube 4 and the interior of the airbag body 6 are inflated, so that the volume of the airbag body 6 expands and deforms. A hexagonal welding block 9 is coaxially welded at one end of the threaded tube 1. The hexagonal welding block 9 can be used as a clamping end for rotating the threaded tube 1. A force transmission tool that is adapted to the hexagonal welding block 9, such as a wrench or pliers, is used to clamp the hexagonal welding block 9, and the threaded tube 1 can be further driven to rotate by rotating the hexagonal welding block 9.

[0021] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, a rounded surface 2 is provided at an opening of one end of the threaded tube 1 , and the rounded surface 2 can reduce the degree of wear on the surface of the airbag body 6 .

[0022] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the length of the drainage tube 5 is equal to that of the central tube 4, the airbag body 6 is connected to the drainage tube 5 and is integrally formed, the pressure change in the airbag body 6 is transmitted to the barometer 8 through the central tube 4, and the change of air pressure at one end of the central tube 4 is detected by the barometer 8.

[0023] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the airbag body 6 is a hollow round cake-shaped flexible closed silicone membrane, and the maximum cross-section of the airbag body 6 does not exceed the maximum cross-section of the threaded tube 1 to avoid affecting the connection between the threaded tube 1 and the external HVAC pipeline.

[0024] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, a groove 12 is welded coaxially on the side of the air pipe 11, and the groove 12 is in a circular shape. A block 14 that fits the groove 12 is fixed on one side of the plug 13. By adapting the block 14 to the groove 12, the air tightness of the connection between the plug 13 and the air pipe 11 can be enhanced.

The square protrusion 10 can adapt to a square force tool to drive the square protrusion 10 and the threaded tube 1 to rotate.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, most of the gas in the airbag body 6 is discharged to shrink the volume of the airbag body 6 to avoid affecting the air tightness of the connection between the threaded tube 1 and the external HVAC pipe. When the threaded tube 1 is connected to one end of the HVAC pipe, the plug 13 is opened and gas is introduced into the air pipe 11 through an air pump. The gas can be an inert gas or air. The gas enters the interior of the airbag body 6 through the central tube 4, causing the airbag body 6 to expand and deform. The expanded airbag body 6 can seal the opening at one end of the threaded tube 1, so that the pressure in the threaded tube 1 generates pressure on the airbag body 6, causing the airbag body 6 to deform, and the pressure change in the airbag body 6 is transmitted to the barometer 8 through the central tube 4. By observing the value of the barometer 8 and comparing it with the standard value, it is possible to quickly determine whether the airbag body 6 is leaking or damaged by aging, thereby determining the degree of wear of the connection between the threaded tube 1 and the external HVAC pipe and the maintenance and replacement cycle according to the degree of loss of the airbag body 6.
