DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions: An air conditioner necking welding protection device includes a sheet metal part 1, an upper rubber pad 2, and a lower rubber pad 3. The sheet metal part 1 includes an upper cylinder part 11, a reinforcing rib 12, a lower cylinder part 13, an upper connecting part 14, and a lower connecting part 15. The upper edge of the upper cylinder part 11 is connected to the upper rubber pad 2, the lower edge of the lower cylinder part 13 is connected to the lower rubber pad 3, the upper connecting part 14 is connected to the side edge of the upper cylinder part 11, the lower connecting part 15 is connected to the side edge of the lower cylinder part 13, the reinforcing rib 12 is located between the upper cylinder part 11 and the lower cylinder part 13 and between the upper connecting part 14 and the lower connecting part 15, and is integrally formed with the upper cylinder part 11, the lower cylinder part 13, the upper connecting part 14, and the lower connecting part 15. The parts of the upper rubber pad 2 and the lower rubber pad 3 located inside the upper cylinder part 11 and the lower cylinder part 13 have the same or different thicknesses.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, both the upper cylinder part 11 and the lower cylinder part 13 are cylindrical structures with a first notch 16, and the inner diameter and outer diameter of the upper cylinder part 11 are the same as those of the lower cylinder part 13.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the upper connecting part 14 has two connecting plates, which are respectively connected to the position of the first notch 16 of the upper cylinder part 11.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the lower connecting part 15 also has two connecting plates, which are respectively connected to the position of the first notch 16 of the lower cylinder part 11. The lower connecting part 15 and the upper connecting part 14 are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, screw holes 17 are provided on both the connecting plates of the upper connecting part 14 and the connecting plates of the lower connecting part 15. The design of the screw holes 17 facilitates the use of screws for fixation to ensure the stable installation of the sheet metal part 1.

[0030] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 12 is an annular structure with a second notch 18 protruding from the upper cylinder 11, the lower cylinder 13, the upper connecting portion 14, and the lower connecting portion 15, which plays a role in strengthening the structure and avoiding welding points. It can be seen from the figure that the reinforcing rib 12 is not a continuous structure, but a second notch 18 is provided. The second notch 18 is preferably opened at the position opposite to the first notch 16. The upper and lower edges of the second notch 18 in this embodiment are arc-shaped. The design of the second notch 18 is mainly to take into account the actual needs during installation, allowing the sheet metal part 1 to be opened when necessary to facilitate installation or disassembly operations.

[0031] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the upper rubber pad 2 and the lower rubber pad 3 are both cylindrical structures with a third notch 20, and have a slot 30 connecting the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 13 respectively. The upper rubber pad 2 and the lower rubber pad 3 can be parts of the same size to accommodate the outer diameter tubes of the same specifications, or they can be designed with different inner diameters to meet the use requirements of outer diameter tubes of different specifications. The width and depth of the slot 30 are not specifically limited, as long as it can ensure that the rubber pad can firmly clamp the sheet metal part 1. The height of the upper rubber pad 2 and the lower rubber pad 3 can be controlled within 1 / 2 of the total height of the sheet metal part 1.

[0032] When using the air conditioner shrink welding protection device of this embodiment, the protection device is installed at the unit pipeline welding position, and the position of the reinforcing rib 12 is flush with the welding point position. In order to stabilize the device, the upper connecting part 14 and the lower connecting part 15 are fastened with screws.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the upper and lower edges of the second notch 18 of this embodiment are not arc-shaped, but straight-line, which can expand the opening size of the first notch 16 on the opposite side and facilitate the installation of the protective device on the welded pipeline during production.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Reference Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 2 and 3 is that the upper cylinder portion 1 and the lower cylinder portion 3 are connected at the position where the second notch 18 of the reinforcing rib 2 is located, and the connecting portion is an arc surface. When the sheet metal part 1 of this embodiment is used, in order to avoid the welding point, the total height of the upper rubber pad 2 and the lower rubber pad 3 needs to be lower than 1 / 2 of the height of the sheet metal part 1.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
