[0026] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a refrigerant filling device for automobile air conditioning system, including a refrigerant filling tank 1, a heat preservation box 2, a weighing module 3, a base 4, a heating module 5 ( Figure 1 Not shown, see Figure 2 )、control chip 6( Figure 1 Not shown, see Figure 2), display screen 7, pressure sensor 8, safety valve 9 and pipeline 10, the refrigerant filling tank 1 is arranged inside the insulation box 2; the insulation box 2 is arranged on the weighing module 3; the weighing module 3 is arranged on the base 4; the insulation box 2 is provided with an outer wall and an inner wall; a gap is provided between the outer wall and the inner wall of the insulation box 2 to form a cavity; the heating module 5 is arranged in the cavity; the control chip 6 is arranged inside the base 4; the display screen 7 is arranged on the side wall of the base 4; the tank mouth of the refrigerant filling tank 1 is connected to the pipeline 10, and the pressure sensor 8 is arranged at the connection between the tank mouth of the refrigerant filling tank 1 and the pipeline 10; the safety valve 9 is arranged on the pipeline 10.

[0027] The refrigerant filling tank 1 is connected to the low-pressure pipeline of the automobile air-conditioning system through the pipeline 10; the base 4 is provided with a through hole 41; the heating module 5 includes a heating wire 51 ( Figure 1 Not shown, see Figure 2 ) and relay 52( Figure 1 Not shown, see Figure 2 ).

[0028] In addition, the refrigerant filling tank 1 can be directly taken out from the heat-insulating box 2 .

[0029] The device has a simple structure and is easy to install and operate.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a refrigerant filling device for automobile air conditioning system. Figure 2 As can be seen, the output of the power supply is connected to the input of the weighing module 3, the input of the control chip 6, the input of the display screen 7, and the input of the pressure sensor 8; the input of the control chip 6 is connected to the output of the pressure sensor 8; the output of the control chip 6 is connected to the input of the display screen 7 and the input of the relay 52; the heating wire 51 and the power supply are connected to form a power circuit via the relay 52. ​​Specifically, the output of the power supply is connected to the input of the control chip 6 via a wire through the through-hole 41; the output of the power supply is connected to the input of the display screen 7 via a wire through the through-hole 41; and the input of the control chip 6 is connected to the output of the pressure sensor 8 via a signal line through the through-hole 41.

[0031] In the process of filling refrigerant into the automobile air-conditioning system through the refrigerant filling device of the present invention, the monitored pressure data is transmitted to the control chip 6 through the pressure sensor 8; the received pressure data is transmitted to the display screen 7 through the control chip 6; and the pressure data is displayed on the display screen 7.

[0032] Furthermore, during the process of refrigerant filling the automobile air conditioning system using the refrigerant filling device of the present invention, the control chip 6 also determines the relationship between the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 and the first preset pressure; and also determines the relationship between the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 and the second preset pressure. When the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the first preset pressure but not greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact points of the relay 52 to open. When the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact points of the relay 52 to open and releases pressure through the safety valve 9.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first preset pressure is 1.9 MPa and the second preset pressure is 2 MPa, but the first preset pressure and the second preset pressure are not limited to 1.9 MPa and 2 MPa, respectively, but can be set and adjusted according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of the refrigerant filling device of the present utility model is as follows:

[0035] When the refrigerant is added to the automobile air-conditioning system by the refrigerant filling device of the present invention, after the power is turned on, the heating wire 51 generates heat to heat the insulation box body 2, so that the tank temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1 increases, thereby increasing the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1. When the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1 increases to a level greater than the pressure of the low-pressure system of the automobile air-conditioning system, the problem of slow refrigerant filling or failure to fill the refrigerant can be solved, and the filling speed can be increased at the same time. Moreover, as the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1 continues to increase, it can be easier to subsequently fill the refrigerant in the refrigerant filling tank 1 into the low-pressure pipeline of the automobile air-conditioning system.

[0036] During the process of refrigerant filling in the automobile air-conditioning system, the weight change can be recorded in real time by the weighing module 3 to achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring of the remaining refrigerant weight in the refrigerant filling tank, so that the operator can intuitively understand the weight of the refrigerant that has been filled, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant filling amount.

[0037] During the process of refrigerant filling in the automobile air-conditioning system, the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1 can be monitored by the pressure sensor 8, and the monitored pressure data can be transmitted to the control chip 6 through the pressure sensor 8, and then the control chip 6 determines the relationship between the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 and the first preset pressure and the second preset pressure. When the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the first preset pressure and not greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact point of the relay 52 to open, thereby disconnecting the power circuit formed by the heating wire 51 and the power supply through the relay 52, thereby stopping the heating wire 51 from heating the insulation box 2, thereby stopping the temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1 from rising, thereby preventing explosions caused by excessive pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the refrigerant filling device; when the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the first preset pressure and not greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact point of the relay 52 to open, thereby disconnecting the power circuit formed by the heating wire 51 and the power supply through the relay 52, thereby stopping the heating wire 51 from heating the insulation box 2, and thus stopping the temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1 from rising, thereby preventing explosions caused by excessive pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the refrigerant filling device; When the pressure monitored by the cut-out pressure sensor 8 is greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact point of the relay 52 to open, and releases the pressure through the safety valve 9, thereby disconnecting the power circuit formed by the heating wire 51 and the power supply through the relay 52, thereby stopping the heating wire 51 from heating the insulation box body 2, thereby stopping the action of increasing the temperature of the tank body of the refrigerant filling tank 1, and releasing the pressure through the safety valve 9, thereby preventing explosions caused by excessive pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the refrigerant filling device.

[0038] In addition, the above-mentioned weighing module 3 uses an electronic scale, and a weighing device that can achieve the same function can also be used; the control chip 6 can use STM32F030C8T6, but the control chip 6 is not limited to using STM32F030C8T6, but a control chip 6 that can achieve the same function can be used; the display screen 7 can use a liquid crystal display (LCD), but the display screen 7 is not limited to using a liquid crystal display (LCD), but a display screen 7 that can achieve the same function can be used.

[0039] Functions and Effects of the Embodiments

[0040] The heat insulation box body 2 is heated by the heating wire 51, so that the tank body temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1 increases, thereby increasing the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1. When the pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1 increases to a level greater than the pressure of the low-pressure system of the automobile air-conditioning system, the problem of slow refrigerant filling or failure to fill the refrigerant can be solved, and the filling speed can be increased.

[0041] During the process of refrigerant filling in the automobile air-conditioning system, the weighing module 3 records the weight change in real time to achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring of the remaining refrigerant weight in the refrigerant filling tank, so that the operator can intuitively understand the weight of the refrigerant that has been filled, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant filling amount.

[0042] During the process of refrigerant filling in the automobile air-conditioning system, the monitored pressure data is transmitted to the control chip 6 via the pressure sensor 8; the received pressure data is transmitted to the display screen 7 via the control chip 6; the pressure data is displayed on the display screen 7; and the operator is facilitated to view it.

[0043] When the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the first preset pressure and not greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact point of the relay 52 to open, thereby disconnecting the power circuit formed by the heating wire 51 and the power supply through the relay 52, thereby stopping the heating wire 51 from heating the insulation box body 2, thereby stopping the action of increasing the tank temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1, thereby preventing explosions caused by excessive pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the refrigerant filling device.

[0044] When the control chip 6 determines that the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 8 is greater than the second preset pressure, the control chip 6 controls the contact point of the relay 52 to open and releases the pressure through the safety valve 9, thereby disconnecting the power circuit formed by the heating wire 51 and the power supply through the relay 52, thereby stopping the heating wire 51 from heating the insulation box body 2, thereby stopping the action of increasing the tank temperature of the refrigerant filling tank 1, and releasing the pressure through the safety valve 9, thereby preventing explosions caused by excessive pressure in the refrigerant filling tank 1, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the refrigerant filling device.

[0045] The above description of the present invention is provided as an example, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described method. Any non-substantial improvements made using the method concepts and technical solutions of the present invention, or any application of the above-described concepts and technical solutions of the present invention to other situations without modification, are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
