Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copper-plated tubes, in particular to a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of air-conditioning technology, the performance requirements for air-conditioning compressors are becoming increasingly higher. The piping system in the air-conditioning compressor undertakes the important task of transmitting refrigerant. Traditional solid pipes have certain limitations in terms of strength, weight, thermal insulation and sound insulation.
[0003] For example, solid pipes are usually heavy and inconvenient to install and transport; they have poor thermal insulation performance and are easily affected by the external ambient temperature, resulting in large energy losses; the sound insulation effect is also unsatisfactory, and the noise generated by the air-conditioning compressor when running may interfere with the surrounding environment; in addition, the corrosion resistance and conductivity of traditional pipes need to be further improved to meet the needs of efficient and stable operation of air-conditioning systems.
[0004] To this end, we propose a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor, in order to prevent the problems of traditional solid pipes in the air-conditioning compressor piping system such as heavy weight, poor thermal insulation and sound insulation performance, poor corrosion resistance and poor conductivity from affecting the efficient and stable operation of the air-conditioning system, thereby improving the performance of the copper-plated tube for the air-conditioning compressor, meeting the higher requirements of the continuous development of air-conditioning technology for the performance of air-conditioning compressors, and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] A copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor, comprising a circular inner tube and a honeycomb outer layer wrapped around the circular inner tube, wherein the honeycomb outer layer is composed of a plurality of hexagonal units and a copper-plated layer is provided on the surface of the honeycomb outer layer;
[0008] A hollow layer, a fiber layer and a foam layer are respectively provided inside the hexagonal units of the honeycomb outer layer.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the honeycomb structure composed of multiple hexagonal cells in the honeycomb outer layer provides strong structural support for the entire copper-plated tube. This structural design has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand the pressure, vibration and external mechanical stress generated during the operation of the air conditioning compressor system. The unique geometry of the honeycomb structure reduces the weight of the tube without reducing its strength performance. Compared with traditional solid tubes, this design is lighter and easier to install and transport.
[0010] The hollow layer can play a certain role in heat insulation, reduce the impact of the external ambient temperature on the internal refrigerant flow, and reduce energy loss; at the same time, the hollow layer also reduces the overall weight of the pipe to a certain extent;
[0011] The fiber layer enhances the strength and toughness of the pipe, can effectively absorb and disperse external impact energy, and protect the internal circular inner tube and refrigerant flow from damage. The fiber layer can also improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the pipe, extending its service life.
[0012] The foam layer has good cushioning properties, further reducing the impact of external shocks on the pipe; the foam layer can also play a certain role in sound insulation, reducing the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor;
[0013] The honeycomb outer layer of copper has good corrosion resistance and can protect the pipe from erosion by the external environment; in some cases, the copper plating can improve the conductivity of the pipe and help improve the efficiency of the air conditioning system; the copper plating can make the pipe have a better appearance and increase the added value of the product.
[0014] Furthermore, the circular inner tube is made of copper material, and the circular inner tube is a horizontally arranged circular tubular structure.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the copper material has good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, and can efficiently conduct the heat of the refrigerant during air conditioning operation to achieve cooling or heating; on the other hand, the horizontally arranged circular tubular structure can make the refrigerant flow more stable, with less resistance and energy loss, which can ensure the uniform distribution of the refrigerant and improve the stability and efficiency of the system. At the same time, it is also convenient for connection with other components, making the layout of the air conditioning system more reasonable and compact.
[0016] Furthermore, the hollow layer is close to the outside of the circular inner tube, and there are multiple groups of circular inner tubes in an annular array.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, since the hollow layer is closer to the circular inner tube, it can more directly insulate the circular inner tube. During the operation of the air-conditioning compressor system, refrigerant flows in the circular inner tube, and the temperature of the refrigerant will change with the working state of the air conditioner. When the refrigerant temperature is low, the heat of the external environment may try to conduct to the circular inner tube, and the presence of the hollow layer can reduce this heat transfer, maintain the low temperature state of the refrigerant, and improve the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner; similarly, when the refrigerant temperature is high, such as in the heating mode, the hollow layer can also prevent the heat in the circular inner tube from dissipating too quickly to the external environment to a certain extent, which helps to improve the heating effect;
[0018] From a mechanical point of view, the hollow layer of the annular array can provide more uniform support for the entire copper-plated pipe. When the air-conditioning compressor system is running, the pipe will be subjected to various forces from the internal refrigerant pressure and the external environment. The hollow layer of the annular array can evenly distribute these forces to the entire pipe structure, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the overall strength and stability of the pipe; secondly, the hollow layers of multiple groups of annular arrays can further enhance the thermal insulation effect. By setting multiple hollow layers at different positions, the heat transfer between the external environment and the circular inner pipe can be more comprehensively blocked, reducing energy loss and improving the energy efficiency ratio of the air-conditioning system; finally, the hollow layer of the annular array makes the copper-plated pipe more regular and symmetrical in appearance, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern industrial design.
[0019] Furthermore, the foam layer is close to the inner side of the copper plating layer.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the foam layer has good buffering performance. When the copper-plated tube is subjected to external impact during use, the copper-plated layer close to the outside is first exposed to the external force, while the foam layer on the inside can quickly absorb and disperse the impact energy, thereby protecting the internal circular inner tube, hollow layer and fiber layer and other structures from damage. During the installation or transportation of the air conditioner, collisions or vibrations may occur. The foam layer can effectively reduce the impact of these external forces on the copper-plated tube and ensure the normal operation of the air-conditioning system; the arrangement of the foam layer close to the copper-plated layer helps to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor. When the air-conditioning compressor is working, vibration and airflow noise will be generated. The foam layer can absorb and block the propagation of these noises, reducing the interference of noise on the surrounding environment. By arranging the foam layer on the inner side close to the copper-plated layer, the propagation path of the noise to the outside can be more directly blocked, thereby improving the quiet performance of the air conditioner.
[0021] Furthermore, the fiber layer is located between the hollow layer and the foam layer.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the fiber material generally has high strength and toughness. It can enhance the overall rigidity of the copper-plated pipe, making it more stable when subjected to internal pressure such as refrigerant pressure and external forces such as mechanical stress during installation. During the operation of the air conditioning compressor, the pressure in the pipe will change. The fiber layer can effectively resist the deformation caused by this pressure change, ensuring that the shape and size of the pipe remain stable.
[0023] On the one hand, it can absorb some of the impact energy transmitted from the foam layer, reducing the impact on the hollow layer and the circular inner tube; on the other hand, it can evenly distribute the stress to the surrounding structure, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. During transportation or installation, if the copper-plated pipe is accidentally hit, the fiber layer can effectively reduce the damage to the internal structure of the pipe caused by the impact;
[0024] The fiber layer is located on the outside of the hollow layer, which can protect the structural integrity of the hollow layer and prevent the hollow layer from collapsing due to external pressure or impact; at the same time, the fiber layer can also enhance the thermal insulation effect of the hollow layer to a certain extent, because the fiber material itself has certain thermal insulation properties, which can reduce the transfer of heat through the fiber layer; the fiber layer and the foam layer cooperate with each other to provide comprehensive protection for the copper-plated pipe. The foam layer absorbs and disperses large impact energy, while the fiber layer works within a smaller stress range, further enhancing the impact resistance of the copper-plated pipe; in addition, the fiber layer can also prevent the foam layer from losing its buffering function due to extrusion or deformation during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the foam layer.
[0025] Furthermore, the honeycomb outer layer is connected to the circular inner tube by welding, and the honeycomb outer layer is made of stainless steel.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, a very strong bond can be achieved by connecting the honeycomb outer layer to the circular inner tube by welding; welding can provide good sealing performance to prevent refrigerant leakage;
[0027] The honeycomb outer layer is made of stainless steel with high strength and rigidity, which can provide good protection for the circular inner tube; stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and can maintain stable performance in various harsh environments; stainless steel has a smooth surface and modern appearance, which can add a certain aesthetic appeal to the air-conditioning system.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] (1) The utility model discloses a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor. The copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor adopts a honeycomb outer layer structure, which is composed of a plurality of hexagonal units, providing strong structural support, having high strength and rigidity, and being able to effectively withstand various pressures, vibrations and external mechanical stresses during the operation of the air-conditioning compressor. At the same time, this unique geometric shape enables the tube to reduce weight without reducing strength performance. Compared with traditional solid tubes, it is lighter, easier to install and transport, and reduces installation costs and manpower consumption. The hollow layer, fiber layer and foam layer inside the copper-plated tube respectively play the role of heat insulation, enhancing strength and toughness, and buffering and sound insulation. The hollow layer reduces the influence of external ambient temperature on the flow of internal refrigerant, reduces energy loss, and reduces the weight of the tube. The fiber layer improves the strength, toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the tube, and prolongs its service life. The foam layer further reduces the influence of external impact, reduces noise, and provides a stable and quiet operating environment for the air-conditioning system. The copper-plated layer plays an important role in improving the corrosion resistance, conductivity and appearance of the tube. The synergistic effect of each layer structure makes the copper-plated tube have multiple excellent properties, meeting the high requirements of the air-conditioning compressor system.

[0035] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0036] In order to prevent the problems of traditional solid pipes in the air-conditioning compressor piping system, such as heavy weight, poor thermal insulation and sound insulation, and corrosion resistance, which affect the efficient and stable operation of the air-conditioning system, the performance of copper-plated pipes for air-conditioning compressors is improved to meet the higher requirements of air-conditioning compressor performance brought about by the continuous development of air-conditioning technology. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor comprises a circular inner tube 1 and a honeycomb outer layer 2 wrapped around the circular inner tube. The honeycomb outer layer 2 is composed of a plurality of hexagonal units, and a copper-plated layer 3 is provided on the surface of the honeycomb outer layer 2.
[0037] The hexagonal units of the honeycomb outer layer 2 are respectively provided with a hollow layer 4, a fiber layer 5 and a foam layer 6.
[0038] When in use, the honeycomb outer layer 2, composed of multiple hexagonal cells, provides strong structural support for the entire copper-plated tube. This structural design has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand the pressure, vibration, and external mechanical stress generated during the operation of the air-conditioning compressor system. The unique geometric shape of the honeycomb structure reduces the weight of the tube without reducing its strength performance. Compared with traditional solid tubes, this design is lighter and easier to install and transport.
[0039] The hollow layer 4 can play a certain role in heat insulation, reduce the impact of the external ambient temperature on the flow of internal refrigerant, and reduce energy loss; at the same time, the hollow layer 4 also reduces the overall weight of the pipe to a certain extent;
[0040] The fiber layer 5 enhances the strength and toughness of the pipe, can effectively absorb and disperse external impact energy, and protect the internal circular inner tube 1 and the refrigerant flow from damage. The fiber layer 5 can also improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the pipe, thereby extending its service life.
[0041] The foam layer 6 has good cushioning properties, further reducing the impact of external shocks on the pipe; the foam layer 6 can also play a certain role in sound insulation, reducing the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor;
[0042] The copper of the honeycomb outer layer 2 has good corrosion resistance and can protect the pipe from erosion by the external environment; in some cases, the copper plating layer 3 can improve the conductivity of the pipe and help improve the efficiency of the air-conditioning system; the copper plating layer 3 can make the pipe have a better appearance and increase the added value of the product.
[0043] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes that the circular inner tube 1 is made of copper material, and the circular inner tube 1 is a horizontally arranged circular tubular structure.
[0044] During use, on the one hand, copper material has good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. During air-conditioning operation, it can efficiently conduct the heat of the refrigerant to achieve cooling or heating; on the other hand, the horizontally arranged circular tubular structure can make the refrigerant flow more stable, with less resistance and less energy loss, ensuring uniform distribution of the refrigerant and improving system stability and efficiency. At the same time, it is also convenient for connection with other components, making the layout of the air-conditioning system more reasonable and compact.
[0045] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes that the hollow layer 4 is close to the outside of the circular inner tube 1, and there are multiple groups of circular inner tubes 1 in a circular array.
[0046] During use, since the hollow layer 4 is relatively close to the circular inner tube 1, it can more directly insulate the circular inner tube 1. During the operation of the air-conditioning compressor system, refrigerant flows in the circular inner tube 1, and the temperature of the refrigerant will change with the working state of the air-conditioning. When the refrigerant temperature is low, the heat of the external environment may try to conduct to the circular inner tube 1, and the presence of the hollow layer 4 can reduce this heat transfer, maintain the low temperature state of the refrigerant, and improve the cooling efficiency of the air-conditioning. Similarly, when the refrigerant temperature is high, such as in the heating mode, the hollow layer 4 can also prevent the heat in the circular inner tube 1 from being dissipated to the external environment too quickly to a certain extent, which helps to improve the heating effect.
[0047] From a mechanical point of view, the hollow layer 4 of the annular array can provide more uniform support for the entire copper-plated tube. When the air-conditioning compressor system is running, the tube will be subjected to various forces from the internal refrigerant pressure and the external environment. The hollow layer 4 of the annular array can evenly disperse these forces to the entire tube structure, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the overall strength and stability of the tube; secondly, multiple groups of hollow layers 4 of the annular array can further enhance the thermal insulation effect. By setting multiple hollow layers 4 at different positions, the heat transfer between the external environment and the circular inner tube 1 can be more comprehensively blocked, energy loss can be reduced, and the energy efficiency ratio of the air-conditioning system can be improved; finally, the hollow layer 4 of the annular array makes the copper-plated tube more regular and symmetrical in appearance, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern industrial design.
[0048] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the present invention further includes that the foam layer 6 is close to the inner side of the copper plating layer 3 .
[0049] During use, the foam layer 6 has good buffering performance. When the copper-plated tube is subjected to external impact during use, the copper-plated layer 3 close to the outside is first exposed to the external force, while the foam layer 6 on the inside can quickly absorb and disperse the impact energy, thereby protecting the internal circular inner tube 1, hollow layer 4 and fiber layer 5 and other structures from damage. During the installation or transportation of the air conditioner, collisions or vibrations may occur. The foam layer 6 can effectively reduce the impact of these external forces on the copper-plated tube and ensure the normal operation of the air-conditioning system; the foam layer 6 is set close to the copper-plated layer 3 to help reduce the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor. When the air-conditioning compressor is working, vibration and airflow noise will be generated. The foam layer 6 can absorb and block the propagation of these noises, reducing the interference of noise on the surrounding environment. By setting the foam layer 6 close to the inner side of the copper-plated layer 3, the noise propagation path to the outside can be more directly blocked, thereby improving the quiet performance of the air conditioner.
[0050] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the present invention further includes that the fiber layer 5 is located between the hollow layer 4 and the foam layer 6 .
[0051] During use, fiber materials generally have high strength and toughness. They can enhance the overall rigidity of the copper-plated pipe, making it more stable when subjected to internal pressure, such as refrigerant pressure, and external forces, such as mechanical stress during installation. During the operation of the air-conditioning compressor, the pressure in the pipe will change. The fiber layer 5 can effectively resist the deformation caused by such pressure changes, ensuring that the shape and size of the pipe remain stable.
[0052] On the one hand, it can absorb part of the impact energy transmitted from the foam layer 6, reducing the impact on the hollow layer 4 and the circular inner tube 1; on the other hand, it can evenly distribute the stress to the surrounding structure, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. During transportation or installation, if the copper-plated pipe is accidentally hit, the fiber layer 5 can effectively reduce the damage to the internal structure of the pipe caused by the impact;
[0053] The fiber layer 5 is located on the outside of the hollow layer 4, which can protect the structural integrity of the hollow layer 4 and prevent the hollow layer 4 from collapsing due to external pressure or impact; at the same time, the fiber layer 5 can also enhance the thermal insulation effect of the hollow layer 4 to a certain extent, because the fiber material itself has certain thermal insulation properties, which can reduce the transfer of heat through the fiber layer 5; the fiber layer 5 and the foam layer cooperate with each other to provide comprehensive protection for the copper-plated pipe. The foam layer 6 absorbs and disperses large impact energy, while the fiber layer 5 works within a smaller stress range, further enhancing the impact resistance of the copper-plated pipe; in addition, the fiber layer 5 can also prevent the foam layer 6 from losing its buffering function due to extrusion or deformation during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the foam layer 6.
[0054] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present invention further includes that the honeycomb outer layer 2 is connected to the circular inner tube 1 by welding, and the honeycomb outer layer 2 is made of stainless steel.

[0057] It should be noted that the present invention is a copper-plated tube for an air-conditioning compressor. Through the synergistic effect of the honeycomb outer layer 2, the copper-plated layer 3, and the internal multi-layer structure, it achieves multiple advantages such as high strength, light weight, good thermal and sound insulation, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. In practical applications, the copper-plated tube can effectively improve the efficiency and stability of the air-conditioning system, reduce energy consumption and noise pollution, and also has a long service life and an attractive appearance. In addition, the material selection and connection method of each layer structure have been carefully designed and tested to ensure the reliability and safety of the copper-plated tube, providing a strong guarantee for the normal operation of the air-conditioning compressor.
[0058] The honeycomb outer layer 2 is composed of multiple hexagonal units. This structural design provides high strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding the pressure, vibration, and external mechanical stresses generated during the operation of the air conditioning compressor system. The unique geometry of the honeycomb structure reduces the weight of the pipe without reducing its strength. Compared with traditional solid pipes, this design is lighter and easier to install and transport.
[0059] The surface of the honeycomb outer layer 2 is provided with a copper plating layer 3. The copper plating layer 3 has good corrosion resistance and can protect the pipe from erosion by the external environment. In some cases, the copper plating layer 3 can improve the conductivity of the pipe, which helps to improve the efficiency of the air conditioning system. The copper plating layer 3 can also make the pipe have a better appearance and increase the added value of the product.
[0060] The hexagonal cells of the honeycomb outer layer 2 are respectively provided with a hollow layer 4, a fiber layer 5 and a foam layer 6. The hollow layer 4 can play a certain role in heat insulation, reduce the influence of the external ambient temperature on the flow of the internal refrigerant, and reduce energy loss. At the same time, the hollow layer 4 also reduces the overall weight of the pipe to a certain extent. The circular inner tube 1 has multiple groups of hollow layers 4 in an annular array. From a mechanical point of view, it can provide more uniform support for the entire copper-plated pipe. When the air-conditioning compressor system is running, the pipe will be subjected to various forces from the internal refrigerant pressure and the external environment. The hollow layers 4 of the annular array can evenly distribute these forces to the entire pipe structure, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the overall strength and stability of the pipe. Secondly, multiple groups of hollow layers 4 in the annular array can further enhance the heat insulation effect. By arranging multiple hollow layers 4 at different positions, the heat transfer between the external environment and the circular inner tube 1 can be more comprehensively blocked, energy loss can be reduced, and the energy efficiency ratio of the air-conditioning system can be improved. Finally, the hollow layers 4 in the annular array make the copper-plated pipe more regular and symmetrical in appearance, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern industrial design.

On the one hand, it can absorb part of the impact energy transmitted from the foam layer 6, reducing the impact on the hollow layer 4 and the circular inner tube 1; on the other hand, it can evenly disperse the stress to the surrounding structure, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration; during transportation or installation, if the copper-plated pipe is accidentally hit, the fiber layer 5 can effectively reduce the damage to the internal structure of the pipe caused by the impact; the fiber layer 5 is located between the hollow layer 4 and the foam layer 6. The fiber layer 5 is located outside the hollow layer 4 to protect the structural integrity of the hollow layer 4 and prevent the hollow layer 4 from collapsing due to external pressure or impact. At the same time, the fiber layer 5 can also enhance the thermal insulation effect of the hollow layer 4 to a certain extent, because the fiber material itself has certain thermal insulation properties, which can reduce the transfer of heat through the fiber layer 5. The fiber layer 5 and the foam layer 6 cooperate with each other to provide comprehensive protection for the copper-plated tube. The foam layer 6 absorbs and disperses large impact energy, while the fiber layer 5 works within a smaller stress range, further enhancing the impact resistance of the copper-plated tube. In addition, the fiber layer 5 can also prevent the foam layer 6 from losing its buffering function due to extrusion or deformation during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the foam layer 6.
[0062] The foam layer 6 has good buffering performance, further reducing the impact of external impact on the pipe; the foam layer 6 can also play a certain sound insulation role, reducing the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor; when the copper-plated pipe is subjected to external impact during use, the copper-plated layer 3 near the outside is first exposed to the external force, while the foam layer 6 on the inside can quickly absorb and disperse the impact energy, thereby protecting the internal circular inner pipe 1, hollow layer 4 and fiber layer 5 and other structures from damage. During the installation or transportation of the air conditioner, collisions or vibrations may occur. The foam layer 6 can effectively reduce the impact of these external forces on the copper-plated pipe, ensuring the normal operation of the air-conditioning system; the arrangement of the foam layer 6 close to the copper-plated layer 3 helps to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the air-conditioning compressor. When the air-conditioning compressor is working, vibration and airflow noise will be generated. The foam layer 6 can absorb and block the propagation of these noises, reducing the interference of noise on the surrounding environment. By arranging the foam layer 6 on the inner side close to the copper-plated layer 3, the propagation path of noise to the outside can be more directly blocked, thereby improving the quiet performance of the air conditioner;
