[0023] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0024] During operation, the piping of electrical components and other equipment (such as the outdoor unit of an air conditioner) can experience resonance due to poor piping design and counterweight placement, leading to excessive piping stress and increased noise. To address this issue, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a piping vibration reduction assembly to address this resonance issue.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The pipeline vibration reduction assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a main body 10 and a fitting 20. A through hole 11 is provided on the main body 10 for the pipeline (not shown in the figure) to pass through, that is, the main body 10 will cover the outer periphery of the pipeline. A notch 12 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the main body 10, and the notch 12 is connected with the through hole 11 in the radial direction of the through hole 11. In other words, the notch 12 is provided on the wall of the main body 10 and extends through the wall to the through hole 11, so that the notch 12 is radially connected between the through hole 11 and the peripheral environment of the main body 10, so that the fitting 20 can be inserted into the notch 12 from the outside of the main body 10 and extend to the through hole 11. A circular arc portion 21 is formed on the fitting 20. When the fitting 20 is inserted into the notch 12, the circular arc portion 21 is constructed to extend into the through hole 11 in the radial direction to cooperate with the through hole 11 to clamp the pipeline. The arc portion 21 can extend into the through hole 11 at a side of the through hole 11 close to the notch 12, so that the arc portion 21 and the inner wall surface of the main body 10 forming the through hole 11 form a space for clamping the pipeline. Figure 1 As shown. The radius of the arc portion 21 can be set to be less than or equal to the radius of the through hole 11 to secure the pipeline. The specific radius of the arc portion 21 can be selected based on the actual radius of the pipeline, and the radius of the through hole 11 can be selected based on the maximum radius of the applicable pipeline.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the pipeline can be counterweighted by cooperating with the main body 10 and the fitting 20. The size of the counterweight can be changed by selecting fittings 20 of different weights without changing the main body 10, and the arc portion 21 of the fitting 20 can adapt to pipelines of different sizes, so that the pipeline can be clamped without changing the main body 10, ensuring that the vibration reduction assembly stably clamps the pipeline, thereby effectively solving the problem of pipeline resonance and avoiding excessive pipeline stress and noise deterioration. By combining the main body and the fitting, the counterweight and clamping of different pipelines can be achieved by adjusting the fitting 20 without changing the main body, which can effectively improve the versatility of the pipeline vibration reduction assembly when dealing with different pipelines.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the main body 10 and the mating part 20 can both be made of EPDM rubber or nitrile rubber, and the hardness can be between 52 and 62, or the main body 10 can be made of an elastic part such as rubber, and the mating part 20 can be made of a rigid material such as plastic or metal.

[0028] In one embodiment, the pipeline vibration damping assembly may include a fastening member. After the fitting 20 is inserted into the notch 12 of the main body 10, a fastening member, such as a wire tie, may be wrapped around the periphery of the fitting 20 and the main body 10 to ensure a secure connection between the fitting 20 and the main body 10, thereby stably clamping the pipeline. In other embodiments, an interference fit may be achieved by relying on the elastic interaction between the fitting 20 and the main body 10 to ensure stable clamping.

[0029] When using fasteners for fastening, refer to Figure 3 The outer periphery of the fitting 20 may be provided with an accommodating groove 22 for accommodating the fastening member to prevent the fastening member from loosening in the up and down directions.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outer circumferences of the notch 12 and the mating member 20 are both arcuate. The receiving groove 22 can be configured such that, after the mating member 20 is inserted into the notch 12, the bottom surface 221 of the receiving groove 22 and the outer circumference 13 of the main body 10 are located on the same circumference. This arrangement ensures that when the fastening member is used to tighten, the curvature of the fastening member is consistent around the circumference, and the problem of poor tightening effect caused by the fastening member not fitting tightly against the outer circumference 13 and the bottom surface 221 of the groove can be avoided.

[0031] In addition, it is understood that the groove bottom surface 221 and the outer peripheral surface 13 are not located on the same circumferential surface and are also within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. For example, the groove bottom surface 221 can be concave or convex relative to the outer peripheral surface 13.

[0032] The arc angle can be set to 180 degrees to ensure the engagement effect between the fitting 20 and the notch 12 .

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The fitting 20 can be constructed so that, after being inserted into the slot 12, the periphery of the fitting 20 can protrude from the periphery of the main body 10. The portion protruding from the periphery of the main body 10 can facilitate hand-holding when inserting and removing the fitting 20, thereby improving convenience. Parts protruding from the periphery of the main body 10 can be provided in a partial area of the fitting 20 to reduce the interference range. Alternatively, as shown in the figure of the embodiment of the present disclosure, portions protruding from the main body 10 can be provided in the entire extended area of the fitting 20, which can increase the counterweight on the one hand and facilitate manufacturing on the other.

[0034] In one embodiment, the main body 10 is constructed as an elastic member. Figure 1 The main body 10 may be provided with a cutout 14 which is passed through along the extending direction of the through hole 11. Figure 1 In the figure, cutout 14 extends through the wall of main body 10 perpendicular to the drawing, circumferentially dividing main body 10. Cutout 14 communicates with through-hole 11 in the radial direction of through-hole 11. When main body 10 is inserted into a pipeline, the elasticity of main body 10 causes cutout 14 to expand circumferentially during axial insertion of the pipeline, providing circumferential clearance for the pipeline to enter through-hole 11.

[0035] When the pipeline cannot axially pass through the through hole 11, the incision 14 is the passage for the pipeline to enter the through hole 11, that is, the pipeline can be radially inserted into the through hole 11 from the incision 14. During the process of radial insertion of the pipeline, due to the elastic effect of the main body 10, the incision 14 will be circumferentially opened to provide space for the pipeline to enter the through hole 11. This method can be applied to situations where the pipeline cannot axially pass through the through hole 11. For example, in actual applications, the vibration damping assembly can be installed at the corresponding position of the connected pipeline according to the resonance situation. After the pipeline is inserted into the through hole 11, the fitting 20 is inserted into the slot 12, and then tightened with a tightening piece to complete the installation of the vibration damping assembly.

[0036] Among them, reference Figure 1 The cross-sectional shape of the cutout 14 can be configured as a sector ring, which is concentric with the through hole 11. In other words, the opening of the cutout 14 near the outer periphery of the main body 10 is larger, and the opening near the through hole 11 is smaller. This arrangement ensures that all radial compressive forces on the main body 10 are uniform when the pipeline enters the cutout 14, thereby preventing local deformation of the main body 10 and ensuring the service life of the main body 10.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the vibration damping assembly has a main body 10, the notch 12 and the cutout 14 can be opened on the same side or on different sides, that is, the fitting 20 can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it is installed at a position staggered from the cutout 14 , but it can also be installed at a position overlapping with the cutout 14 .

[0038] When the pipeline vibration reduction assembly includes a plurality of bodies 10, for example, Figure 4 While the illustrated embodiment includes two main bodies 10, multiple main bodies 10 can be connected as a whole via a connecting portion 30. The multiple main bodies 10 can be evenly distributed around the circumference of the connecting portion 30, and the notch 12 can be formed on the side of the main body 10 away from the connecting portion 30 to facilitate insertion of the mating piece 20. In this embodiment, the cutout 14 and the notch 12 are both formed on the side of the main body 10 away from the connecting portion 30 to facilitate insertion of the pipeline into the through-hole 11 and insertion of the mating piece 20 into the notch 12.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 The vibration damping assembly shown with a plurality of main bodies 10 can be formed as a pipe clamp, that is, when having a plurality of main bodies 10 , the vibration damping assembly can also function as a pipe clamp.

[0040] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner outdoor unit is provided. The air conditioner outdoor unit may include a pipeline and the pipeline vibration reduction assembly described above, wherein the pipeline vibration reduction assembly is applied to the pipeline. The air conditioner outdoor unit has all the beneficial effects of the pipeline vibration reduction assembly described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, comprising an indoor unit and the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit, and having all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit, which will not be repeated here.

[0042] In the foregoing detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of illustration, specific aspects of the present disclosure in which it may be practiced. In this regard, terms indicating directions or expressing positional relationships, such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," "outside," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," etc., may be used with reference to the orientation of the figures being described. Since the components of the described devices may be positioned in a plurality of different orientations, the directional terms may be used for illustrative purposes rather than restrictive. It should be understood that other aspects may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the concepts of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense.

[0043] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specifically noted, the features of the various embodiments of the present disclosure described herein may be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the relevant listed items and any combination of any two or more thereof; similarly, "at least one of" includes any one of the relevant listed items and any combination of any two or more thereof.

[0044] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "join," "attach," "install," "connect," "connect," "fix," etc. used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrated; they can be mechanically connected, electrically connected, or communicable with each other; they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and they can be internally connected between two elements or an interactive relationship between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this article can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] Additionally, the term "over" as used in reference to a component, element, or material layer being formed "over" or located "over" a surface may be used herein to mean that the component, element, or material layer is "indirectly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface such that one or more additional components, elements, or layers are disposed between the surface and the component, element, or material layer. However, the term "over" as used in reference to a component, element, or material layer being formed "over" or located "over" a surface may alternatively have a specific meaning: the component, element, or material layer is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, e.g., in direct contact with the surface.

[0046] Although terms such as "first", "second" and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers or sections are not limited to these terms. On the contrary, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, part, region, layer or section from another component, part, region, layer or section. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of each example, the first component, part, region, layer or section mentioned in the examples described herein may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer or section. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description herein, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0047] It should be understood that spatially relative terms, such as "above," "upper," "below," and "lower," are used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being "above" or "upper" relative to another element would then be "below" or "lower" relative to the other element. Thus, the term "above" encompasses both above and below orientations, depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or." That is, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, "X applies to A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies to A; X applies to B; or X applies to both A and B, then "X applies to A or B" satisfies any of the aforementioned instances. Furthermore, the articles "a" and "an," as used in this application and the appended claims, are generally understood to mean "one or more," unless otherwise specified or clear from the context to refer to the singular form.

[0049] Likewise, although the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding this specification and the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. With particular regard to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, terms used to describe such components are intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if not structurally equivalent to the disclosed structure. In addition, although particular features of the present disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such features may be combined with one or more other features of other implementations as may be desired and advantageous for any given or particular application. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "include," "have," "have," "have," or variations thereof are used in the detailed description or claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising."

[0050] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
