Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a non-welded cylinder body of an automotive air-conditioning liquid receiver, and more specifically, to a non-welded cylinder body of an automotive air-conditioning liquid receiver. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, as an important part of improving driving comfort, the performance and reliability of automotive air-conditioning systems have received increasing attention. In an automotive air-conditioning system, a liquid storage cylinder (also called a liquid receiver dryer) is a key component. It not only stores refrigerant but also filters out impurities in the system and removes moisture through an in-built desiccant to ensure the normal operation of the air-conditioning system.
[0003] Due to differences in the sizes of condenser cores used in different brands and models of vehicles, as well as different considerations for space utilization during vehicle design, the installation positions of liquid storage cylinders will also vary. However, traditionally, the design of liquid storage cylinders often designs the cylinder body and the bracket as a whole, and the installation position cannot be adjusted. Although such a design ensures a tight fit between components, it also brings significant problems: once the installation point needs to be adjusted, even a slight change may require re-developing the mold, thus increasing the R & D cost and production cycle. In addition, this fixed structure limits the improvement of the versatility of liquid storage cylinders among different vehicle models and increases the pressure on manufacturers to customize liquid storage cylinders for each vehicle model separately.
[0004] In view of the above situation, there is an urgent need for a new liquid storage cylinder installation solution that can, while maintaining the original functions, have higher flexibility and applicability to meet the diverse needs in the market. In particular, it can conveniently adjust the position of the liquid storage cylinder relative to the condenser or other related components, thereby simplifying the assembly process and reducing the additional expenses caused by replacing the mold. Therefore, this application aims to provide an improved liquid storage cylinder installation structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a non-welded cylinder body of an automotive air-conditioning liquid receiver to solve the above technical problems.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A non-welded cylinder body of an automotive air-conditioning liquid receiver: including a cylinder body, further including a sliding plate and an installation bracket arranged on the sliding plate. There are two installation steps arranged along the length direction of the cylinder body, a sliding groove is arranged along the length direction of the installation step, the sliding plate is in sliding fit with the sliding groove, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the sliding plate on the installation step is arranged between the installation step and the sliding plate.
[0008] Further, the fixing mechanism is corresponding fixing holes on the sliding plate and the mounting step, and the fixing holes on the mounting step are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the mounting step.
[0009] Further, plug heads are connected to both ends of the chute by interference fit.
[0010] Further, the mounting bracket includes a sleeve fixed on the sliding plate, a connecting rod rotatably and telescopically fitted with the sleeve hole of the sleeve, and a fixing plate fixed on the top of the connecting rod. A plurality of mounting holes are arranged at intervals on the fixing plate.
[0011] Further, the sliding plate, the mounting bracket sleeve and the mounting step are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the cylinder body.
[0012] Further, the mounting step is connected to the cylinder body by welding.
[0013] Further, the plug head is an anti-corrosion elastic rubber block.
[0014] Further, a fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the screw hole on the side of the sleeve.
[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. Improve versatility: By providing a mounting step with a chute, and at the same time providing a sliding plate slidably engaged with the chute, and an installation bracket is provided on the sliding plate, so that users can freely adjust the position of the installation bracket along the length direction of the chute according to actual needs, so as to adapt to the changes in the size and installation points of the condenser core between different vehicle models, greatly enhancing the compatibility of the product and the market adaptability.
[0017] 2. Reduce development costs and time: The traditional design of the liquid storage cylinder often requires remolding and manufacturing due to minor changes in the installation points, which is not only time-consuming but also costly. After adopting the structure described in this application, only the relative position of the sliding plate in the chute needs to be adjusted to support new vehicle models, without frequent mold replacement, effectively reducing the investment in the product R & D stage and shortening the time cycle from design to mass production.
[0018] 3. Simplify the assembly process: The new installation method of the liquid storage cylinder allows for quick and easy positioning and fixing operations. Workers can complete the assembly work without special skills, improving the production efficiency and reducing the human error rate that may be caused by complex processes at the same time.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, a solderless automotive air-conditioning accumulator cylinder body according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0025] It includes a cylinder body 1, and also includes a slide plate 2 and a mounting bracket 3 arranged on the slide plate 2. There are two mounting steps 4 arranged along the length direction of the cylinder body 1, and a chute 5 is arranged along the length direction of the mounting step 4. The slide plate 5 is slidably matched with the chute 5, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the slide plate on the mounting step is provided between the mounting step and the slide plate.
[0026] In the above technical solution, by providing a mounting step with a chute, and at the same time providing a slide plate slidably matched with the chute, and an installation bracket is arranged on the slide plate, so that the user can freely adjust the position of the installation bracket along the length direction of the chute according to actual needs, so as to adapt to the changes in the condenser core size and installation points between different automobile models, greatly enhancing the compatibility and market adaptability of the product.
[0027] Specifically, the fixing mechanism is corresponding fixing holes 6 on the slide plate and the mounting step, and the fixing holes 6 on the mounting step are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the mounting step 4.
