Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile air-conditioning pipe joints, in particular to a joint used for automobile air-conditioning pipes. [Background Technology]

[0002] Automobile air conditioning pipes are divided into high-pressure pipes and low-pressure pipes. High-pressure pipes usually include parts such as compressor output, condenser and liquid receiver dryer; low-pressure pipes include parts such as evaporator, accumulator, return air pipe, etc. In the pipes, H stands for high pressure and L stands for low pressure. These markings help technicians better understand the pressure conditions in the air conditioning system. The main function of automobile air conditioning pipes is to connect the various components in the automobile air conditioning system so that the refrigerant can flow in the system, thereby realizing the normal operation of the air conditioning system. At the same time, reasonable pipe layout and connection are also key factors to ensure the normal operation of the air conditioning system. For automobile low-pressure pipes, connecting joints will be used. Through the connecting joints, two segmented connecting pipes can be connected, and then the connection between the pipes can be connected. When connecting pipes, the existing connecting joints mainly wrap several turns of raw tape on the external thread of the low-pressure pipe, and use the internal thread on the connector to connect with the external thread on the low-pressure pipe to achieve the connection of the connecting pipe.

[0003] Although the above scheme can connect the connecting pipes, it is necessary to wrap multiple raw tapes during the connection process. Although the connecting pipes can be sealed by wrapping the raw tape, the winding process depends entirely on the experience of the personnel. If the raw tape is wrapped too little, it is easy to cause water leakage between the connecting pipe and the connecting head. If the raw tape is wrapped too much, it is easy to cause the connecting head to be unable to connect the connecting pipes. If the raw tape is wrapped again, it will greatly waste the raw tape resources, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of personnel installing the connecting pipe. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art and to provide a joint for automobile air-conditioning pipes, which can be used to install connecting pipes.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model proposes a connector for automobile air conditioning pipes, comprising: two connecting pipes and a connector,

[0006] One end of the connecting pipe is arranged in a stepped manner, and a stepped groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting head, and the connecting pipe can enter the stepped groove and abut against the stepped groove;

[0007] A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, and the sealing ring can be attached to the stepped groove;

[0008] The connecting head is elastically slidably connected to a limiting block, and the side wall of the connecting pipe is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves for the limiting blocks to enter.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting pipe is provided with a sealing block with a built-in internal thread, and the connecting pipe is provided with an external thread threadedly connected to the internal thread.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing gasket 1 is fixedly connected to the sealing block, and the sealing gasket 1 can be attached to one end of the connection.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of balls are rotatably connected in the stepped groove, and the balls can stick to the inner wall of the connecting pipe.

[0012] Preferably, a second sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the middle of the stepped groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention: Compared with the prior art, the present invention opens a stepped groove on the connecting head, utilizes the sealing ring on the connecting pipe to stick to the inner wall of the stepped groove, thereby realizing the sealing between the connecting pipes. After the sealing between the connecting pipes is completed, the limiting block enters the limiting groove to realize the connection between the connecting pipes. By fixing the connecting pipe by the limiting block entering the limiting groove, the use of raw tape for installation between the connecting pipes can be avoided, thereby reducing the waste of raw tape resources and reducing the difficulty of personnel installing the connecting pipes.

[0014] The features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses a connector for automobile air-conditioning pipes, comprising: two connecting pipes 1 and a connector 2.

[0024] Among them, one end of the connecting pipe 1 in the present invention is stepped, and a stepped groove 3 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting head 2. When one end of the connecting pipe 1 is attached to the inner wall of the stepped groove 3, the connecting head 2 can be connected to the connecting pipe 1;

[0025] When one end of the connecting pipe 1 is in contact with the stepped groove 3, the sealing ring 4 fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 1 will be in contact with the stepped groove 3, thereby achieving sealing between the connecting pipe 1 and the connector 2;

[0026] Once the connection head 2 and the connection pipe 1 are sealed, the connection head 2 is elastically slidably connected to the limit block 5, and the side wall of the connection pipe 1 is provided with a number of limit grooves 6 for the limit block 5 to enter. The limit block 5 enters the limit groove 6 to fix the connection pipe 1. It is worth mentioning that the limit block 5 is reset by the spring 12. The limit block 5 is fixedly connected to the connection head 2, and one end is fixedly connected to the limit block 5, so that the limit block 5 can enter the limit groove 6 to fix the connection pipe 1.

[0027] Specifically, since a sealing block 7 with a built-in internal thread is provided on the connecting pipe 1, an external thread 8 connected to the internal thread is opened on the connecting pipe 1. By rotating the sealing block 7, the sealing block 7 is made to stick to both ends of the connecting head 2, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the connecting head 2. It is worth mentioning that the sealing block 7 is hexagonal, which is convenient for people to rotate.

[0028] Specifically, a sealing gasket 9 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 7, and the sealing gasket 9 is affixed to one end of the connector 2, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the connector 2.

[0029] Specifically, a plurality of balls 10 are rotatably connected in the stepped groove 3 , and the balls 10 are in contact with the connecting tube 1 , thereby reducing the friction between the connecting tube 1 and the stepped groove 3 .

[0030] Specifically, a sealing gasket 11 with a built-in through cavity is fixedly connected to the middle of the stepped groove 3. The sealing gasket is mainly used to seal between the connecting pipes 1 to further improve the sealing effect of the connecting pipes 1, while the through cavity is mainly used to transmit liquid.

[0031] The principle of this utility model is: by connecting the stepped end of the connecting pipe 1 with the stepped groove 3, and using the sealing ring 4 to stick to the stepped groove 3, the sealing between the stepped groove 3 and the connecting pipe 1 is achieved. Once the sealing between the stepped groove 3 and the connecting pipe 1 is completed, the limiting block 5 enters the limiting groove 6, thereby fixing the connecting pipe 1.

[0032] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
