DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:

[0024] Embodiment 1: The utility model provides a double-layer tube high-efficiency heat exchange structure for automobile air conditioner, comprising a heat exchange tube mechanism 1, one end of the heat exchange tube mechanism 1 is fixedly connected with a plugging head 2, the other end of the heat exchange tube mechanism 1 is fixedly connected with a plugging head 3, one end of the plugging head 2 is fixedly connected with a low-pressure air intake pipe 4, the outer side of the plugging head 2 is also fixedly connected with a high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5, one end of the plugging head 3 is fixedly connected with a low-pressure air outlet pipe assembly 6, and the outer side of the plugging head 3 is also fixedly connected with a high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7;

[0025] The heat exchange tube mechanism 1 includes a metal outer tube 11, a rolled threaded inner tube 12 is arranged inside the metal outer tube 11, and the outer side of the rolled threaded inner tube 12 is in a spiral winding shape; wherein, the metal outer tube 11 serves as an external protective layer, which not only provides structural strength, but also forms a spiral chamber between the rolled threaded inner tube 12 for the flow of fluid. The outer side of the rolled threaded inner tube 12 is in a spiral winding shape. This design greatly increases the heat exchange area and improves the heat exchange efficiency.

[0026] The internal passage of the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the low-pressure air intake pipe 4 are communicated with each other, and the internal passage of the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the low-pressure air outlet pipe assembly 6 are communicated with each other;

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the spiral chamber formed between the metal outer tube 11 and the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 are interconnected, and the spiral chamber formed between the metal outer tube 11 and the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7 are interconnected.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, since the spiral chamber formed between the metal outer tube 11 and the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 are interconnected, and the spiral chamber formed between the metal outer tube 11 and the rolled threaded inner tube 12 and the high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7 are interconnected, the high-pressure liquid introduced through the high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7 will pass through the spiral chamber and then be discharged from the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5;

[0029] Since the internal channel of the rolled-thread inner tube 12 is interconnected with the low-pressure suction pipe 4 and the internal channel of the rolled-thread inner tube 12 is interconnected with the low-pressure outlet pipe assembly 6, the low-pressure gas introduced through the low-pressure suction pipe 4 will pass through the internal channel of the rolled-thread inner tube 12 and then be exported from the low-pressure outlet pipe assembly 6;

[0030] When the high-pressure liquid is in the spiral chamber and the low-pressure gas is in the internal channel of the rolled-thread inner tube 12, heat exchange will occur between the inner and outer chambers of the rolled-thread inner tube 12, thereby enabling the high-pressure liquid to be rapidly cooled.

[0031] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a convex portion 13 is also provided at the bent position on the outer side of the metal outer tube 11.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, by using the convex portion 13 as a strengthening structure on the metal outer tube, the strength of the entire heat exchange tube mechanism at the bent portion can be significantly improved. During vehicle driving, especially when facing complex and changeable road conditions, this enhanced structural strength can effectively prevent the heat exchange tube from being damaged due to vibration or impact; at the same time, the convex portion 13 will guide the fluid inside the metal outer tube 11 to form a more uniform flow state in the spiral chamber, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the presence of the convex portion 13 increases the contact area between the metal outer tube and the surrounding environment to a certain extent, which helps the heat to be dissipated into the environment faster, thereby enhancing the overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0033] Embodiment 3:

[0034] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 is embedded in the inside of the first plug 2 and fixed by welding.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, through the embedding and welding process, good sealing performance at the connection can be ensured, effectively preventing fluid leakage and ensuring the normal operation of the heat exchange system. The welded connection can provide extremely high connection strength, making the connection between the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 and the first plug 2 almost integral and capable of withstanding large pressures and vibrations.

[0036] Embodiment 4:

[0037] As Figure 6 shown, the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 covers the outside of the first plug 2 and is fixed by welding.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 covers the outside of the first plugging head 2, enabling the staff to perform maintenance conveniently. The welded connection can provide extremely high connection strength, making the connection between the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 and the first plugging head 2 almost integrated and able to withstand greater pressure and vibration.

[0039] Embodiment 4:

[0040] As Figure 2 shown, the low-pressure gas outlet pipe assembly 6 includes a low-pressure gas outlet pipe body 61, and a first hose 62 is also provided in the middle of the low-pressure gas outlet pipe body 61.

[0041] Specifically, the high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7 includes a high-pressure liquid inlet pipe body 71, and a second hose 72 is also provided in the middle of the high-pressure liquid inlet pipe body 71.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, the first hose 62 and the second hose 72 can absorb the pipeline displacement caused by vibration or temperature change, thereby protecting the entire pipeline system from mechanical stress. Secondly, the first hose 62 and the second hose 72 can also provide greater flexibility for the installation and maintenance of the pipeline system, making it easier to adjust the position and direction of the pipeline in a limited space.

[0043] Application process:

[0044] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for vehicle comfort, the performance optimization of automotive air conditioning systems has become the focus of major automotive manufacturers.

[0047] The low-pressure suction pipe 4 is connected to the internal channel of the rolled-thread inner pipe 12 to ensure that the low-pressure gas enters and passes through the heat exchange pipe mechanism smoothly.

[0048] The low-pressure gas outlet pipe assembly 6 includes a low-pressure gas outlet pipe body 61 and a first hose 62. The setting of the first hose 62 increases the flexibility of the system, facilitates installation and maintenance, and can absorb vibration and displacement to protect the pipeline system.

[0049] The high-pressure liquid inlet pipe assembly 7 includes a high-pressure liquid inlet pipe body 71 and a second hose 72, also using a hose design to improve the adaptability and maintenance convenience of the system.

[0050] In different embodiments, the connection manner between the high-pressure liquid outlet pipe 5 and the first plug 2 is different, but the connection strength and tightness are ensured by welding.
