[0002] Existing air conditioning pipe vibration reduction methods typically use cable ties to connect pipes with stronger and weaker vibrations. This can reduce vibration noise while improving the safety and lifespan of the air conditioner. However, cable ties have poor stability and are limited by installation space. Using cable ties for fixing is difficult and time-consuming during installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a pipeline vibration reduction structure and heat exchange equipment for heat exchange equipment, aiming to solve any of the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the pipeline vibration reduction structure for heat exchange equipment proposed in this utility model includes:
[0005] A vibration damping plate, wherein the vibration damping plate has at least two tube bundle slots, the tube bundle slots being used to accommodate and limit the pipes inside the heat exchange equipment;
[0006] A limiting band is connected to the vibration damping plate. The limiting band has a fastened state and an unfastened state relative to the vibration damping plate. When the limiting band is fastened relative to the vibration damping plate, the limiting band is used to block the opening of the tube slot. When the limiting band is unfastened relative to the vibration damping plate, the limiting band does not block the opening of the tube slot.
[0007] In one embodiment, the bundled tube groove includes an inlet section and a receiving section that are interconnected, the inlet section extending through the outer periphery of the damping disk, and the groove opening being disposed within the inlet section;
[0008] The inner wall of the receiving section is arc-shaped, and the receiving section is used to receive and limit the pipelines inside the heat exchange equipment.
[0009] In one embodiment, the width of the inlet segment is smaller than the diameter of the receiving segment.
[0010] In one embodiment, a groove is provided on the outer periphery of the damping disc, and limit plates are provided on opposite sides of the groove opening. The limit plates are used to restrict the limiting band within the groove.
[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting band and the slot are interference-fitted.
[0012] In one embodiment, one end of the limiting band is fixed to the damping plate, the limiting band is provided with a first fastening part, and the inner wall of the slot is provided with a second fastening part. The first fastening part and the second fastening part are engaged with each other, and the first fastening part is closer to the opposite end of the limiting band than the end of the limiting band that is fixed to the damping plate.
[0013] In one embodiment, the card slot includes two opposing sidewalls, each of which is provided with a second fastening portion. The second fastening portion includes a plurality of spaced-apart card holes. The limiting band is provided with a first fastening portion on each of its opposing sides. The first fastening portion includes a plurality of card platforms that are respectively adapted to the plurality of card holes.
[0014] In one embodiment, the end of the limiting band near the first fastening portion is provided with an anti-slip structure.
[0015] In one embodiment, when the limiting band is in the fastened state, both opposite ends of the limiting band are located on the same side of the damping disc.
[0016] In one embodiment, at least two of the bundled tube slots are spaced apart on the damping disk.
[0017] In one embodiment, both the vibration damping disc and the limiting band are made of rubber.
[0018] This utility model also proposes a heat exchange device, which includes a pipe vibration damping structure for the heat exchange device. The pipe vibration damping structure includes a damping disc and a limiting band. The damping disc has at least two bundle tube grooves and a retaining groove on its outer periphery. The limiting band is connected to the damping disc and has a fastening state and an unfastening state relative to the retaining groove. The limiting band is used to seal the opening of the bundle tube grooves.
[0019] The technical solution of this utility model employs a vibration damping disc with at least two bundled tube slots on the vibration damping structure of the pipeline used in heat exchange equipment. This confines both the pipelines in the heat exchange equipment with stronger and weaker vibrations within the at least two bundled tube slots, and seals the slot openings with limiting bands.

[0033] Existing air conditioning pipe vibration reduction methods typically use rubber pads to connect pipes with stronger and weaker vibrations, and then secure them with cable ties. This can reduce vibration noise while improving the safety and lifespan of the air conditioner. However, cable ties offer poor stability and are limited by installation space, making installation difficult and time-consuming.
[0034] Specifically, vibration damping and fixing of the pipes is carried out after other components inside the air conditioner have been basically installed. At this time, the operating space inside the air conditioner is relatively cramped, making it difficult to accommodate two hands inside to dampen and fix the pipes. In addition, the fixing effect of cable ties is relatively average, and multiple cable ties need to be used to fix the pipes in order to achieve a more obvious vibration damping effect.
[0035] In view of this, the present invention proposes a pipeline vibration reduction structure 100 for heat exchange equipment, which can be an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a water purifier, etc.
[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6In one embodiment of this utility model, the pipe vibration damping structure 100 for heat exchange equipment includes a vibration damping disc 1 and a limiting band 2. The vibration damping disc 1 has at least two tube bundle grooves 11, which are used to accommodate and limit the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment. The limiting band 2 is connected to the vibration damping disc 1 and has a fastened state and an unfastened state relative to the vibration damping disc 1. When the limiting band 2 is in the fastened state relative to the vibration damping disc 1, the limiting band 2 blocks the groove opening 113 of the tube bundle groove 11. When the limiting band 2 is in the unfastened state relative to the vibration damping disc 1, the limiting band 2 does not block the groove opening 113 of the tube bundle groove.
[0037] It should be noted that the internal piping 200 of the heat exchange equipment includes refrigerant pipes, charging pipes, venting pipes, and connecting pipes 200. The connecting pipes 200 are used to connect various components inside the heat exchange equipment, such as compressors, condensers, and evaporators. The compressor has a strong vibration amplitude when it is working, so the pipes 200 directly connected to the compressor vibrate more significantly, while the vibration amplitude of other pipes 200 is weaker. In the process of vibration reduction of the internal piping 200 of the heat exchange equipment, the pipes 200 directly connected to the compressor are usually bundled together with other pipes 200 to reduce the vibration amplitude of the compressor direct-connected pipes 200.
[0038] Specifically, the vibration damping plate 1 is disc-shaped and can be made of rubber, plastic, or other materials, without specific limitations. The vibration damping plate 1 has at least two tube-binding grooves 11 for accommodating and limiting the pipes 200 within the heat exchanger. The tube-binding grooves 11 are specifically designed according to the size and shape of the pipes 200, providing a more precise fixation effect compared to cable ties. This design ensures that the pipes 200 within the heat exchanger are stably fixed in the tube-binding grooves 11, preventing loosening or displacement. The number of pipes 200 in the tube-binding grooves 11 can be at least two, three, or four, without specific limitations. In the process of installing the pipe 200 in the heat exchange equipment into the tube bundle groove 11, the pipe 200 only needs to be directly snapped into the tube bundle groove 11. The installation is simple and convenient. Compared with the installation of cable ties, it will not take up too much installation space. Moreover, only one pipe vibration reduction structure 100 for heat exchange equipment in this embodiment is needed to achieve a significant vibration reduction effect. The cost is low and the installation time is short.
[0039] Furthermore, to ensure the secure fixation of the pipe 200, a limiting band 2 is provided. By using the limiting band 2 to block the opening 113 of the tube bundle groove 11, it is ensured that the pipe 200 will not vibrate out of the tube bundle groove 11, thus further guaranteeing the secure fixation of the pipe 200. When the pipe 200 in the heat exchange equipment is not installed in the tube bundle groove 11, the limiting band 2 is in an unfastened state; when the pipe 200 in the heat exchange equipment is secured in the tube bundle groove 11, the limiting band 2 is fastened in the slot 12. At this time, the limiting band 2 is in a fastened state relative to the vibration damping plate 1. The specific fastening method can be a snap-fit, an interference fit, or other fastening methods, which are not specifically limited here.
[0040] The technical solution of this utility model adopts a method in which at least two tube bundle grooves 11 are opened on the vibration damping plate 1 of the pipe vibration damping structure 100 used for heat exchange equipment. The pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment with stronger amplitude and the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment with weaker amplitude are confined together in the at least two tube bundle grooves 11. The groove openings 113 of the tube bundle grooves 11 are sealed with limiting bands 2, so that the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment can be stably fixed and are not easy to loosen or shift. Moreover, this method is simple and convenient to install, has low cost when applied to heat exchange equipment, and has a short installation time.
[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The bundled tube groove 11 includes an inlet section 111 and a receiving section 112 that are interconnected. The inlet section 111 extends through the outer periphery of the vibration damping disk 1, and the groove 113 is located inside the inlet section 111. The inner wall of the receiving section 112 is arc-shaped, and the receiving section 112 is used to receive and limit the pipes 200 inside the heat exchange equipment.
[0042] Specifically, the tube bundle groove 11 includes an inlet section 111 and a receiving section 112. The inlet section 111 penetrates the outer periphery of the vibration damping disk 1, allowing the pipes 200 inside the heat exchange equipment to enter the tube bundle groove 11 from the outer periphery of the vibration damping disk 1. After entering the tube bundle groove 11, the pipes are confined within the receiving section 112. Therefore, the inner wall of the receiving section 112 is set as an arc surface, which can fit tightly against the outer wall of the pipes 200 inside the heat exchange equipment, making the vibration damping disk 1 more tightly wrap the pipes 200. In this embodiment, when installing the pipe vibration damping structure 100 for the heat exchange equipment onto the pipes 200, it is only necessary to align the inlet section 111 of the vibration damping disk 1 with the pipes 200, and press the pipes 200 to install them into the receiving section 112.
[0043] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 6 The width of the inlet section 111 is smaller than the diameter of the accommodating section 112.
[0044] It should be noted that the diameter of the receiving section 112 is basically consistent with the diameter of the pipe 200 inside the heat exchanger, while the width of the inlet section 111 is smaller than the width of the receiving section 112. This makes it difficult for the pipe 200 inside the heat exchanger to shift from the receiving section 112 to the inlet section 111 after it is installed in the receiving section 112, thus ensuring that the pipe 200 inside the heat exchanger can be stably fixed inside the receiving section 112. Furthermore, the vibration damping disc 1, being made of rubber, has elastic deformation capabilities, allowing the pipe 200 inside the heat exchanger to pass through the narrower inlet section 111.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The outer periphery of the damping disc 1 is provided with a slot 12, and the opposite sides of the slot 113 of the slot 12 are provided with limiting plates 13, which are used to restrict the limiting band 2 within the slot 12.
[0046] It should be noted that, in order to better fix the limiting band 2, a slot 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the vibration damping plate 1. When the limiting band 2 is in the fastening state, the limiting band 2 is fastened in the slot 12. Considering that the limiting band 2 should have a good fixation, a limiting plate 13 is provided on the opposite sides of the slot 113 of the slot 12. The limiting plate 13 restricts the relative position of the limiting band 2, making it difficult for it to fall out of the slot 12, so that the limiting band 2 has a good limiting function for the pipeline 200 in the bundle tube groove 11.
[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The limiting band 2 and the slot 12 are interference-fitted.
[0048] It should be noted that the limiting band 2 and the slot 12 are interference-fitted, so the width of the limiting band 2 is slightly larger than the width of the slot 12, allowing the limiting band 2 to be better fixed in the slot 12 and less likely to fall out of the slot 12 under force. The above-described fitting method is only one of the optional embodiments of this example, and the limiting band 2 and the slot 12 can also be fastened together by other means.
[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the limiting band 2 is fixed to the vibration damping plate 1. The limiting band 2 is provided with a first fastening part 22, and the inner wall of the slot 12 is provided with a second fastening part 123. The first fastening part 22 and the second fastening part 123 are engaged. The first fastening part 22 is closer to the opposite end of the limiting band 2 than the end of the limiting band 2 that is fixed to the vibration damping plate 1.
[0050] Specifically, the limiting band 2 has two opposing ends, one end of which is fixed to the damping disc 1. This fixing can be done either inside or outside the slot 12, specifically by screw fixing. Considering that fixing the other opposing end of the limiting band 2 to the slot 12 also allows the limiting band 2 to function effectively, a first fastening part 22 is provided on the limiting band 2, and a second fastening part 123 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 12. The first fastening part 22 and the second fastening part 123 engage to fix the limiting band 2 as a whole and accommodate it within the slot 12. The first fastening part 22 can be a locking hole structure or a locking platform structure, and the second fastening part 123 can also be a locking hole structure or a locking platform structure. When the first fastening part 22 is a locking hole structure, the second fastening part 123 is a locking platform structure; when the first fastening part 22 is a locking platform structure, the second fastening part 123 is a locking hole structure. These are all optional embodiments of this example.
[0051] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The slot 12 includes two opposing sidewalls 122, each of which is provided with a second fastening part 123. Each second fastening part 123 includes a plurality of spaced-apart locking holes 123a. The limiting band 2 has first fastening parts 22 on both opposite sides, each first fastening part 22 including a plurality of locking platforms 221 that respectively mate with the plurality of locking holes 123a. The plurality of locking holes 123a and locking platforms 221 interlock to better secure the limiting band 2 within the slot 12.
[0052] Preferably, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The limiting band 2 is provided with an anti-slip structure 21 at one end near the first fastening part 22.
[0053] It should be noted that the other end of the limiting band 2 is provided with an anti-slip structure 21. When the limiting band 2 is fastened in the slot 12, the anti-slip structure 21 can prevent the limiting band from slipping out of the hands of the installer or user. The slot 12 also includes a bottom wall 121 located between the two side walls 122. When the limiting band 2 is fastened to the vibration damping disc 1, the anti-slip structure 21 faces the bottom wall 121. The anti-slip structure 21 includes multiple protruding anti-slip protrusions 211. Thus, after the limiting band 2 is fastened, it is even more difficult for the limiting band 2 to slip out of the slot 12. The multiple anti-slip protrusions 211 can be multiple anti-slip bumps arranged in an array, or multiple anti-slip strips arranged sequentially.
[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6When the limiting band 2 is in the fastened state, the two opposite ends of the limiting band 2 are located on the same side of the damping disc 1.
[0055] It should be noted that when the limiting band 2 is in the fastened state, the two ends of the limiting band 2 are located on the same side of the damping plate 1, while the slots 113 of at least two bundled tube slots 11 are located on the opposite side of the damping plate 1. In this way, the limiting band 2 has a relatively stable limiting effect on the pipes 200 in at least two bundled tube slots 11.
[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 5 At least two of the bundled tube slots 11 are distributed at intervals on the damping disk 1.
[0057] It should be noted that, considering the spaced arrangement of the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment, in order to avoid applying excessive tension to the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment and thus changing the shape and position of the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment, the tube bundle grooves 11 are opened at intervals on the vibration damping plate 1 and correspond to the distribution of the pipes 200 in the heat exchange equipment. The spaced opening of the tube bundle grooves 11 can also further enhance the vibration damping effect on the pipes 200.
[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Both the vibration damping disc 1 and the limiting band 2 are made of rubber.
[0059] Considering that cable ties are usually made of materials such as plastic or metal, their vibration damping performance is poor. It is understandable that rubber itself has good elasticity and shock absorption performance. By making the material of the pipe vibration damping structure 100 used in the heat exchange equipment rubber, the energy generated by the vibration of the pipes 200 inside the heat exchange equipment can be effectively absorbed and dispersed. Furthermore, since the vibration damping plate 1 fixes the pipes 200 inside the heat exchange equipment through the tube bundle groove 11, the impact of vibration on the surrounding pipes 200 can be further reduced.
[0060] This utility model also proposes a heat exchange device, which includes a pipeline vibration damping structure 100 for the heat exchange device. The specific structure of the pipeline vibration damping structure 100 for the heat exchange device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this heat exchange device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0061] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
