Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-conditioning pipeline equipment, in particular to a multi-way pipe for air-conditioning manufactured based on copper sheets. Background Art

[0002] In the existing air-conditioning industry, the multi-way pipe formed by a three-way U-shaped pipe is usually welded by multiple pipes. One pipe is bent into a U shape, and the other pipe is welded to the bent U-shaped pipe. This design has many welding points, complex processes, the produced three-way U-shaped pipe is heavy, it is difficult to ensure its accuracy, and with multi-point welding, the labor cost is high, and it is easy to have missed welding. There are welding points inside the pipe, which affects the flow rate inside the pipe. Currently, there is also a three-way pipe fitting formed by extruding one pipe as disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. ZL202220517402.9. The three-way pipe fitting includes a first through pipe, a second through pipe, and a third through pipe. One end of the first through pipe is connected and communicated with one end of the second through pipe to form a U-shaped through pipe, and the other end is open. The third through pipe is arranged at the connection of the first through pipe and the second through pipe. This forming structure is based on one pipe and forms a U-shaped pipe and a third pipe by extruding from both ends or one end of the pipe towards the middle. This forming structure is formed by pipe bending and extrusion. During the process of pipe bending, not only the distance between the U-shaped pipes is limited by the minimum turning radius, but also fatigue cracks are likely to occur, resulting in refrigerant leakage. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-way pipe for air-conditioning manufactured based on copper sheets to solve the defects and deficiencies of the prior art, so that the distance between the U-shaped pipes is no longer limited by the minimum turning radius, and fatigue cracks of the pipes are avoided.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a multi-way pipe for air-conditioning manufactured based on copper sheets, which includes a three-way pipe fitting. The three connecting pipes of the three-way pipe fitting are respectively connected to a main pipe, a first branch pipe, and a second branch pipe. The three connecting pipes of the three-way pipe fitting include a main connecting pipe that is interconnected, and a first branch connecting pipe and a second branch connecting pipe. The main connecting pipe, the first branch connecting pipe, and the second branch connecting pipe are integrally formed by a copper sheet. The junction of the main connecting pipe, the first branch connecting pipe, and the second branch connecting pipe is the copper sheet body. The main connecting pipe, the first branch connecting pipe, and the second branch connecting pipe are all formed by extending the copper sheet. Since the whole three-way pipe fitting of this multi-way pipe for air-conditioning manufactured based on copper sheets is made of one copper sheet, the three-way pipe fitting itself does not need to be welded, there is no bending and no fatigue cracks are generated. The main connecting pipe, the first branch connecting pipe, and the second branch connecting pipe form a crotch-shaped structure. The copper sheet body is equivalent to the crotch of the crotch-shaped structure. Compared with the traditional U-shaped turning structure, not only is the distance between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe no longer limited by the minimum turning radius, but also fatigue cracks of the pipes are avoided, preventing leakage.

[0005] One end of the main connecting pipe is an open structure, and the other end is a copper sheet body. The outer side of the copper sheet body is an integral extension structure with the pipe wall of the main connecting pipe. The inner sides of the copper sheet body are respectively integral extension structures with the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe. The extension structure effectively ensures the integral performance of the main connecting pipe with the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, and avoids fatigue breakage.

[0006] The main connecting pipe intersects with the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe at one end of the copper sheet body. This intersecting structure is more conducive to the uniform extension of the main connecting pipe and the copper sheet body to the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, and improves the uniformity during the extension process.

[0007] The copper sheet described is a circular copper sheet. The diameter of the copper sheet is 55 - 182 mm, and the thickness is 1 - 1.6 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 9.5 - 47 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 9.5 - 45 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 9.5 - 35 mm.

[0008] The diameter of the copper sheet is 55 mm, and the thickness is 1 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 9.5 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 9.5 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 9.5 mm. Or the diameter of the copper sheet is 65 mm, and the thickness is 1 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 12.7 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 12.7 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 12.7 mm.

[0009] The diameter of the copper sheet is 80 mm, and the thickness is 1.3 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 19 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 15 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 15 mm. Or the diameter of the copper sheet is 90 mm, and the thickness is 1.3 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 25 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 19 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 19 mm.

[0010] The diameter of the copper sheet is 120 mm, and the thickness is 1.6 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 34 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 25 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 25 mm.

[0011] The diameter of the copper sheet is 150 mm, and the thickness is 1.6 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally formed, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 39 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 35 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 32 mm.

[0012] The copper sheet has a diameter of 182 mm and a thickness of 1.6 mm. After the copper sheet is integrally manufactured, the diameter of the main connecting pipe is 47 mm, the diameter of the first branch connecting pipe is 45 mm, and the diameter of the second branch connecting pipe is 35 mm.

[0013] The first branch connecting tube and the second branch connecting tube are formed by integrally extending from the outer side of the copper sheet body and the wall of the main connecting tube to form a part of the tube body, another part of the tube body of the first branch connecting tube is extended from the inner side of the copper sheet body to form the inner hole of the first branch connecting tube, and another part of the tube body of the second branch connecting tube is extended from the inner side of the copper sheet body to form the inner hole of the second branch connecting tube. The overall uniformity of the three-way pipe fitting is greatly improved by jointly extruding and extending inside and outside.

[0014] The copper sheet body is a planar structure, and the first branch connecting tube and the second branch connecting tube are perpendicular to the copper sheet body. The walls of the first branch connecting tube and the second branch connecting tube are not adhered to each other, thereby improving the straightness of the air conditioning branch pipes during connection and avoiding connection deviation.

[0015] A method for integrally manufacturing an air-conditioning branch pipe based on copper sheet manufacturing comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Get a round copper sheet;

[0017] Step 2: The copper sheet of step 1 is passed through a punch press and a hydraulic stretching machine to be stretched into a straight tube with a closed structure at one end and an open structure at the other end;

[0018] Step 3, putting the straight pipe into the mold of the hydraulic press, wherein the mold is provided with a main model pipe, a first branch model pipe, and a second branch model pipe, and a partition column is provided between the first branch model pipe and the second branch model pipe, and the partition column abuts against the closed structure, and under the action of the extrusion fluid of the hydraulic press, the closed structure cooperates with the straight pipe to extend from one pipe to form a first branch connection pipe and a second branch connection pipe, forming a three-way pipe fitting, at which time, one end of the first branch connection pipe of the three-way pipe fitting is the first closed structure, and one end of the second branch connection pipe is the second closed structure, and the straight pipe forms the main connection pipe after being extruded by the hydraulic press;

[0019] Step 4: Cut off the first closed structure and the second closed structure of the three-way pipe obtained in step 3 by a sawing machine, and then expand the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe by a hydraulic press;

[0020] Step 5. Connect the three-way pipe fitting obtained in step 4 to the main pipe by welding the main connecting pipe, connect the first branch connecting pipe by welding the first branch pipe, and connect the second branch connecting pipe by welding the second branch pipe to obtain the air conditioning branch pipe.

[0021] The width of the partition column determines the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, such that the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe is not limited by the turning radius. Instead, the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe are extruded on both sides of the partition column by diameter, successively reducing the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, and expanding the minimum space where the air-conditioning manifold can be installed.

[0022] The hydraulic press extrudes a straight pipe to form a tee fitting under a pressure of 6 - 15 MPa, while the maximum pressure in actual central air-conditioning applications is 6 MPa. This means that the pressure above 6 MPa has been fully inspected during manufacturing, and the problem of tee leakage has been completely solved, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the use and installation of central air-conditioning.

[0023] Adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. Since the air-conditioning manifold based on a copper sheet is made of a single copper sheet for the overall tee fitting, the tee fitting itself does not require welding, has no bends and does not generate fatigue cracks. The main connecting pipe, the first branch connecting pipe, and the second branch connecting pipe form a crotch-like structure, and the copper sheet body is equivalent to the crotch of the crotch-like structure. Compared with the traditional U-shaped turning structure, it is not only not limited by the minimum turning radius to shorten the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, but also avoids the occurrence of pipeline fatigue cracks and prevents leakage.

[0025] 2. The width of the partition column determines the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, such that the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe is not limited by the turning radius of the U-shaped pipe. Instead, the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe are extruded on both sides of the partition column by diameter, successively reducing the spacing between the first branch connecting pipe and the second branch connecting pipe, and expanding the minimum space where the air-conditioning manifold can be installed.

[0050] Step 4: Cut off the first closed structure 8 and the second closed structure 9 from the three-way pipe fitting 1 obtained in step 3 by a sawing machine, and then expand the first branch connecting pipe 6 and the second branch connecting pipe 3 by a hydraulic press;

The obtained air-conditioning manifold can continue to improve the surface performance of the air-conditioning manifold through processes such as deburring and pickling.
