Therefore, it is possible to change accordingly according to their different positions and different usage states; so, these or other orientation terms should not be construed as restrictive terms.

[0018] The singular forms of "a", "the" and "said" used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0019] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0020] The utility model provides a upset joint structure of an air-conditioning pipe and a pressing plate as shown in the attached Figures 1-4 figure, which includes a pipeline body 1 and a pressing plate 2 sleeved outside the pipeline body 1. A protrusion 3 located at the top of the pressing plate 2 and a flanging 5 located at the bottom of the pressing plate 2 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline body 1, which can prevent the pressing plate 2 from moving back and forth, so that the axial pull-off force between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1 is > 120 N, thereby making the connection between the pressing plate 1 and the pipeline body 2 reliable. The pressing plate 2 is provided with a pipe-passing hole 6 for the pipeline body 1 to pass through, and a plurality of rectangular grooves 7 are evenly spaced on the inner circumferential surface of the pipe-passing hole 6. The pressing plate 2 is sleeved outside the pipeline body 1 by pressing and bites the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline body 1 through the rectangular grooves 7 on the pipe-passing hole 6, increasing the anti-rotation strength between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1, so that the torque between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1 is ≥ 20 N·m, which can prevent the pressing plate from rotating, thereby making the connection between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1 reliable.

[0021] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in the utility model, chamfers 8 are provided at the top and bottom of the pipe-passing hole 6 inside the pressing plate 2, and the two chamfers 8 are respectively located at the intersection of the pipe-passing hole 6 and the upper and lower planes of the pressing plate 2. When the pressing plate 2 is installed on the pipeline body 1, the chamfers 8 can guide the pipeline body 1 to pass through the pipe-passing hole 6 smoothly, reduce the frictional resistance during the installation process, thereby improving the installation efficiency. At the same time, the chamfers 8 can also prevent the pressing plate 2 from scratching the pipeline body 1 during the pressing process, ensuring the integrity of the pipeline body 1 and extending the service life of the air-conditioning pipe.

[0022] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in the utility model, the width of the rectangular groove 7 is 0.2 mm and the depth is 0.2 mm, which ensures the firm bite between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1 and avoids the surface damage of the pipeline body 1 caused by over-tight biting.

[0023] As Figure 3 shown, in the utility model, an annular groove 4 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline body 1 above the protrusion 3.

[0024] As Figure 3 shown, in the utility model, the cross-section of the annular groove 4 is in a "U" shape and the notch of the annular groove 4 is provided with an arc-shaped fillet. After assembling a sealing ring in the annular groove 4, it can well protect the "O" - shaped sealing ring and achieve a good sealing effect.

[0025] As Figure 3 shown, in the present utility model, the cross-section of the flanging 5 is triangular and the flanging 5 is formed by upsetting from the inner wall surface of the pipeline body 1 to the outer wall surface of the pipeline body 1, ensuring a firm connection between the pressing plate and the pipeline body and not easily falling off.

[0026] Working principle: When the present utility model is specifically implemented, the pressing plate 2 is sleeved outside the pipeline body 1 through the pipe-passing hole 6. Since a plurality of rectangular grooves 7 are uniformly spaced on the inner circumferential surface of the pipe-passing hole 6, the pressing plate 2 will bite the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline body 1 through the rectangular grooves 7 during the pressing process, realizing a firm connection between the pressing plate 2 and the pipeline body 1. At the same time, the protrusions 3 and the flanging 5 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline body 1 can prevent the pressing plate 2 from moving forward and backward and rotating, further enhancing the reliability of the connection.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than limiting it; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
