Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a novel connecting pipe for indoor and outdoor units of an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy, air conditioners have multiple functions such as cooling, dehumidification, heating and air purification. Conventional air conditioners generally consist of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, with two refrigerant pipes connecting the indoor and outdoor units to form a refrigerant circulation loop. These two refrigerant pipes are generally copper pipes.

[0003] However, no matter whether the connecting pipe is a copper pipe or a copper-aluminum combination pipe, the method of connecting it to the indoor and outdoor units is to put the two ends of the pipe into nuts, then expand the ends into a trumpet-shaped bell mouth, and rotate it with the external thread on the indoor and outdoor unit stop valve connecting pipe through the nut. The nut presses the bell mouth onto the port of the stop valve connecting pipe to form a sealed connection.

[0004] The above connection method has high technical requirements, and the contact area of ​​the connection part is small, which easily causes radial relative displacement of the two ports, thereby causing misaligned connection. The stability and reliability of the connection are poor, and leakage is easy to occur. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new technical solution for connecting the indoor and outdoor units of air conditioners to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. It can not only improve the stability and reliability of the installation of the connecting pipes, but also simplify the overall structure and reduce manufacturing costs. The pipe plugging is used to prevent dust and moisture, thereby extending the service life of the connecting pipes.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A new type of connecting piping for indoor and outdoor units of an air conditioner is characterized in that it includes a base pipe, a pipe connecting nut, a transition connecting pipe section and a pipe plug. The base pipe is welded to the transition connecting pipe section, the pipe connecting nut is connected to the transition connecting pipe section, and the pipe plug is connected to the end of the transition connecting pipe section. Through the design of the above structure, not only can the stability and reliability of the connecting piping installation be improved, but also the overall structure can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The pipe plug is used to prevent dust and moisture, thereby extending the service life of the connecting piping.

[0008] Furthermore, the base pipe adopts a single-head or multi-head spiral corrugated pipe or annular corrugated pipe, which is easy to bend and meets the needs of connecting pipes in different occasions.

[0009] Furthermore, the corrugated tube has a wave crest height of 0.5 to 10 mm, a wave pitch of 2 to 20 mm, and a wall thickness of 0.15 to 1.5 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the corrugated shape of the bellows is one of a U-shape, an S-shape or an Ω-shape.

[0011] Furthermore, the basic pipe includes a liquid pipe and a gas pipe, and an insulation pipe is provided on the outside of the liquid pipe and the gas pipe. The liquid pipe and the gas pipe are used to transport liquid and gas respectively. The insulation pipe can reduce heat loss of liquid or gas during the transportation process.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the liquid pipe is 5 to 19 mm, and the diameter of the gas pipe is 9 to 30 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the base pipe is made of stainless steel, the transition connecting pipe section is made of copper, the total length of the transition connecting pipe section is 20 to 500 mm, the wall thickness of the transition connecting pipe section is 0.5 to 2.5 mm, and the length of the base pipe is 1000 to 20000 mm, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the transition connecting pipe section is connected to the indoor and outdoor connection ends of the air conditioner, and the pipe end of the transition connecting pipe section is in a 90° flare shape, which matches the flare angle a of the pipe union nut, and a is 90°.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is in a coiled or spiral shape, which is flexible and convenient to use.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0017] The utility model can not only improve the stability and reliability of the installation of the connecting pipes, but also simplify the overall structure and reduce the manufacturing cost. The pipe plugging is used to prevent dust and moisture, and prolong the service life of the connecting pipes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
