[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed portion is a bolt hole.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter has a radial direction, the radial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction, and a size of the adapter in the radial direction is greater than a size of the adapter in the axial direction.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “a plurality of” means two or more.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The adapter assembly 10 of the present utility model embodiment can be applied to other devices including but not limited to the air conditioning device 100. For example, Figure 7 As shown, taking the application of the adapter assembly 10 to an air conditioning device 100 as an example, the air conditioning device 100 may include a hydraulic module 20 and a circulation pipe 30 .

[0043] The hydraulic module 20 may refer to a device that integrates components such as a pump 202 , valves, filters, a constant pressure water supply device, and a pump electrical control cabinet, and is used to provide circulating power for the refrigerant, coolant, sanitary hot water, etc. of the air-conditioning device 100 .

[0044] The circulation pipe 30 may refer to a pipe arranged indoors. The hydraulic module 20 can pump the heat or cold generated by the air conditioning device 100 into the circulation pipe 30, where it circulates indoors through the circulation pipe 30, thereby regulating the temperature in the indoor environment. The adapter assembly 10 is used to connect the pump 202 to the circulation pipe 30. The pump 202 can be connected to one end 301 of the circulation pipe 30 through the adapter assembly 10 to pump the refrigerant (e.g., hot water or cold water) into the circulation pipe 30 or to extract the refrigerant from the circulation pipe 30.

[0045] To facilitate understanding of the adapter assembly 10 of the present invention, this embodiment and the following embodiments are described using the adapter assembly 10 applied to the air conditioning device 100 as an example. Of course, this does not mean that the adapter assembly 10 can only be applied to the air conditioning device 100.

[0046] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 , a detailed description of the adapter assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is given.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an adapter assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an adapter 11 and a fixing seat 12. The adapter 11 is a single piece and has an axial direction F1 and a flow channel 111. The flow channel 111 extends axially through the adapter 11. A first connecting portion 112 is formed at one axial end of the flow channel 111, and a second connecting portion 113 is formed at the other end. The fixing seat 12 is provided on at least one side of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1 and is detachably connected to the adapter 11. The fixing seat 12 is provided with a fixed portion 121.

[0048] The adapter 11 is an integrally molded part, which may be, but not limited to, a metal part, a non-metal part, etc., wherein the non-metal part may include, but not limited to, a plastic part, etc. For example, when the adapter 11 is a metal part, it may be integrally cast; when the adapter 11 is a plastic part, it may be integrally injection molded.

[0049] The axial direction F1 can be referred to Figure 1As shown, the flow channel 111 may refer to a channel running through the adapter 11 in the axial direction, for enabling the flow of gas, liquid or other media. For example, the flow channel 111 may be used to allow the refrigerant to flow between the circulation pipe 30 and the pump 202.

[0050] The first connection portion 112 can be a structure for connecting a pipe or other joint, and can be, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​structure, a threaded structure, or a rubber sleeve structure. For example, the first connection portion 112 can be connected to the interface end 2021 of the pump 202. A mating structure that engages with the first connection portion 112 is provided within the interface end 2021. One of the first connection portion 112 and the mating structure is a male chuck, and the other is a female chuck. The female chuck and the male chuck cooperate to connect the first connection portion 112 and the interface end 2021. For another example, one of the first connection portion 112 and the mating structure is internally threaded, and the other is externally threaded. The external and internal threads can be threadedly connected. For another example, the interface end 2021 can directly mate with the first connection portion 112. The first connection portion 112 is an elastic rubber sleeve, and the interface end 2021 can be directly sleeved within the elastic rubber sleeve. Of course, the above is merely illustrative and is not intended to be a specific limitation in the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0051] The second connection portion 113 may also refer to a structure for connecting a pipe or other joint, and may be, but not limited to, a snap-fit ​​structure, a threaded structure, or a rubber sleeve structure. For example, the second connection portion 113 may be used to connect to the circulation pipe 30. The coordination between the second connection portion 113 and the circulation pipe 30 may refer to the first connection portion 112 described above, and will not be further described here.

[0052] The adapter 11 can form the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113 during casting or injection molding, or the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113 can be manufactured first and then cast or injection molded together with the adapter 11, which can also achieve the adapter 11 as a whole as a single piece. By molding the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113 on the adapter 11, the adapter 11, the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113 are formed as a single piece, which has high structural strength and is not easy to damage. There is no need for separate splicing and assembly, which can simplify the production process. Moreover, since the adapter 11, the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113 are formed as a single piece, there is no need to consider setting a reserved position on the adapter 11 for splicing or assembling the first connection portion 112 and the second connection portion 113, which helps to reduce the overall size of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1.

[0053] “The fixing seat 12 is provided on at least one side of the axial direction F1 of the adapter 11 ” may mean that the fixing seat 12 is provided on one side, two sides, three sides or a circumferential side of the axial direction F1 of the adapter 11 , etc., which is not limited here.

[0054] The fixing base 12 is detachably connected to the adapter 11, thereby facilitating flexible assembly of the adapter 11 with other components, such as the pump 202 and the circulation pipe 30, thereby reducing assembly difficulty. The fixed portion 121 may refer to a structure that secures the fixing base 12 to another component (e.g., the housing 201 of the hydraulic module 20), and may include, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​structure, a bolt structure, or a pin structure.

[0055] According to the adapter assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, the flow channel 111 of the adapter 11 is formed with a first connection portion 112 at one end in the axial direction F1 and a second connection portion 113 at the other end. Thus, the adapter 11, the first connection portion 112, and the second connection portion 113 are formed into an integral structure, which is conducive to reducing the overall size of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1. Since the fixing seat 12 is provided on the side of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1 and connected to the adapter 11, the fixing seat 12 occupies a small space or no space in the axial direction F1 of the adapter 11. Therefore, the overall size of the adapter assembly 10 in the axial direction F1 is relatively small, and the overall structure is relatively compact, which can save space, save materials, and reduce costs. On the other hand, the fixing seat 12 can limit the adapter 11 and help to fix the adapter 11 more firmly.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a limiting portion 114 is provided in the flow channel 111 , and the limiting portion 114 is provided along the inner wall of the flow channel 111 in a circle around the axial direction F1 .

[0057] When the adapter 11 is connected to the pump 202 through the first connecting part 112, the limiting part 114 can play a limiting role to prevent the first connecting part 112 and the pump 202 from being over-installed, which would cause damage to the flow channel 111 or the pump 202. It can also quickly determine whether the first connecting part 112 and the pump 202 are installed in place, which is beneficial to the installation of the adapter 11 and the pump 202.

[0058] The limiting portion 114 can be understood as an annular limiting platform provided on the inner wall of the flow channel 111 . The limiting portion 114 with this structure can provide a larger limiting surface, thereby providing more stable support and limitation for the interface end 2021 of the pump 202 .

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first connection portion 112 is a threaded structure provided on the inner wall of the flow channel 111 , and the inner wall surface of the flow channel 111 forms the second connection portion 113 .

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the interface end 2021 of the pump 202 can be provided with an external thread structure 2022, which can be threadedly connected to the first connecting portion 112. One end 301 of the circulation pipe 30 can be inserted into the hole formed in the inner wall of the flow channel 111 and then connected to the inner wall through the sealing ring 60.

[0061] The adapter 11 and pump 202 are connected by a threaded connection. This connection structure is relatively simple, highly stable, and more reliable. It also reduces the difficulty of molding the first connecting portion 112, thereby reducing costs. The adapter 11 and circulation pipe 30 are connected by a nested sealing ring 60. The structure of the second connecting portion 113 is simpler, which can simplify the molding process and reduce manufacturing difficulty. Moreover, the fixing base 12 can be fixed to the housing 201 of the hydraulic module 20 via the fixed portion 121, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the adapter 11 and the circulation pipe 30.

[0062] It can be seen that the above solution can ensure more reliable connectivity between the pump 202 and the circulation pipe 30 while reducing the size of the axial direction F1, and is conducive to reducing the overall molding difficulty of the adapter 11 and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the adapter 11 is provided with at least two opposite clamping surfaces 11 c.

[0064] For example, the main body of the adapter 11 can be cylindrical, and the two clamping surfaces 11c are relatively parallel surfaces. Thus, the adapter 11 can be rotated by clamping the two clamping surfaces 11c with tools such as a wrench, thereby threading the first connection part 112 with a threaded structure and the external thread structure 2022 on the outside of the interface end 2021, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the adapter 11 and the pump 202.

[0065] Optionally, six clamping surfaces 11c are provided around the outer wall of the adapter 11. In this embodiment, the six clamping surfaces 11c are hexagonal in shape on the outer wall of the adapter 11, which can increase the success rate of matching a tool such as a wrench with the clamping surfaces 11c, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the adapter 11 and the pump 202.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the adapter 11 includes a first end face 11a and a second end face 11b located at both ends of the axial direction F1. The first end face 11a is closer to the first connecting portion 112 relative to the second end face 11b, and the distance between the first end face 11a and the limiting portion 114 is smaller than the distance between the second end face 11b and the limiting portion 114.

[0067] In other words, the distance between the second end surface 11b and the stopper 114 is greater, and the flow channel 111 has a greater depth on the side of the stopper 114 near the second connection portion 113. This increases the contact surface between the inner wall of the flow channel 111 and the tube end 301. Specifically, the tube end 301 can be inserted further into the flow channel 111, thereby improving the connection strength between the adapter 11 and the tube end 301. Furthermore, the flow channel 111 has more space at the location corresponding to the tube end 301, allowing for the placement of a greater number of or larger sealing rings 60. This in turn improves the bonding strength between the tube end 301 and the inner wall of the flow channel 111, enhances sealing performance, and reduces the likelihood of seal failure between the tube end 301 and the flow channel 111.

[0068] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, two sealing rings 60 are provided along the axial direction F1 between the pipe end 301 and the inner wall surface of the flow channel 111. In this example, the two sealing rings 60 can realize two-level sealing, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the fixing seat 12 is disposed around the circumference of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1. In this embodiment, the fixing seat 12 is constructed as an annular structure surrounding the adapter 11, thereby enabling the fixing seat 12 to limit the position of the adapter 11 at multiple locations around the circumference. For example, the fixing seat 12 can limit the left, right, front, and rear sides of the adapter 11, thereby improving the fixing seat 12's limiting effect on the adapter 11, reducing the probability of displacement of the adapter 11, and improving the stability of the adapter 11.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the adapter 11 is provided with a card slot 115 arranged around the axial direction F1, the fixing seat 12 is provided with a through hole 12a extending perpendicular to the axial direction F1, and the adapter assembly 10 includes a card connector 13, a portion of which is passed through the through hole 12a and is connected to the card slot 115 by card connection.

[0071] The clip 13 can be detachably engaged with the fixing seat 12 through the through hole 12a. After passing through the card slot 115, the adapter 11 can be fixed on the fixing seat 12. The adapter 11 and the fixing seat 12 can be detachably connected in this way. The structure is simple and the disassembly or installation is relatively convenient, which can reduce the difficulty of assembly and is conducive to later maintenance or replacement.

[0072] The slot 115 is an annular slot. When the adapter 11 is connected to the pump 202 and the circulation pipe 30, when the adapter 11 moves to any position around the axial direction F1, the clamping member 13 can be clamped and matched with the slot 115. This can reduce the fault tolerance of the clamping member 13 and the slot 115, making it easier for the clamping member 13 to be clamped to the slot 115, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the adapter 11 and the fixing seat 12.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the clamping member 13 includes a first column portion 131, a second column portion 132 and a connecting portion 133, and the connecting portion 133 connects the first column portion 131 and the second column portion 132; the fixing seat 12 is provided with through holes 12a on both sides of the adapter 11, the first column portion 131 is passed through the through hole 12a on one side of the adapter 11, and is connected to one side of the card slot 115 by clamping, and the second column portion 132 is passed through the through hole 12a on the other side of the adapter 11, and is connected to the other side of the card slot 115 by clamping.

[0074] As an example, the two sides of the adapter 11 can refer to Figure 3 On the left and right sides, two through holes 12a can be set on the left side of the fixing base 12, and two through holes 12a can be set on the right side. The first column 131 passes through the two through holes 12a on the left and is engaged with the card slot 115 to fix the left side of the adapter 11, and the second column 132 can pass through the two through holes 12a on the right and be engaged with the card slot 115 to fix the right side of the adapter 11. In this way, the fixing base 12 can fix the adapter 11 more firmly and stably.

[0075] In the clamping member 13 of the above structure, the connecting portion 133 connects the first column portion 131 and the second column portion 132, and is U-shaped as a whole, which can fix the first column portion 131 and the second column portion 132 together. The first column portion 131 and the second column portion 132 can be inserted into the corresponding through hole 12a at the same time through the connecting portion 133, so that the opposite sides of the adapter 11 can be fixed at one time, which can reduce the installation steps and thus improve the assembly efficiency.

[0076] Optionally, the through hole 12a may be, but is not limited to, a circular hole, a square hole, a triangular hole, etc., and correspondingly, the first column portion 131 and the second column portion 132 may be, but are not limited to, a cylinder, a square column, or a triangular column.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adapter 11 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 116 . The weight-reducing groove 116 is an annular structure arranged around the axial direction and is provided on both sides of the clamping groove 115 .

[0078] Weight-reducing grooves 116 reduce the weight of adapter 11. During the long assembly process, a lighter adapter 11 reduces the workload, facilitating assembly of adapter 11 with pump 202 and circulation pipe 30, and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, because adapter 11 is a single piece, material usage can be reduced during the molding process, lowering costs.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the fixed portion 121 is a bolt hole.

[0080] The hydraulic module 20 may also include other structures, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the hydraulic module 20 may include a box body 201, and the box body 201 may include a mounting plate 2011. An assembly hole 2011a may be provided on the mounting plate 2011. The fixing seat 12 may be fixed to the mounting plate 2011 by passing a bolt through the bolt hole and the assembly hole 2011a, and then screwing the fixing seat 12 on the mounting plate 2011 by a nut.

[0081] In the above technical solution, the fixing seat 12 is fixed to the box body 201 by bolt connection. The fixing method is relatively simple and can reduce costs. Moreover, this fixing method is relatively reliable and can improve the connection stability between the fixing seat 12 and the box body 201.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the adapter 11 has a radial direction, which is perpendicular to the axial direction F1 , and a dimension of the adapter 11 in the radial direction is greater than a dimension of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1 .

[0083] The radial direction can be Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the left and right directions, the size of the adapter 11 in the radial direction is larger than the size of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1, so that the adapter 11 has a short and fat structure, and the size of the adapter 11 in the axial direction F1 is smaller, and the overall size of the adapter assembly 10 in the axial direction F1 is further reduced, thereby further reducing the volume of the adapter assembly 10, saving space to a greater extent, and being beneficial to the arrangement of other components inside the hydraulic module 20.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, an air conditioning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a circulation pipe 30, a hydraulic module 20, and an adapter assembly 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The hydraulic module 20 includes a housing 201 and a pump 202 disposed within the housing 201. The first connecting portion 112 is connected to the pump 202, and the second connecting portion 113 is sealedly connected to the circulation pipe 30 via a sealing ring 60. The second connecting portion 113 is connected to the housing 201 by a fixing portion 121.

[0085] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the air-conditioning device 100 may include not only a circulation pipe 30, a hydraulic module 20 and a adapter assembly 10, but also an air-conditioning outdoor unit 40 and an air-conditioning indoor unit 50. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 40 and the air-conditioning indoor unit 50 realize refrigerant circulation through the connecting pipe 70, and adjust the temperature of the indoor environment through the air-conditioning indoor unit 50.
