[0002] The high-speed airflow discharged from the compressor exhaust end of the water chiller unit enters the ejector, a negative pressure is formed in the ejector, and the oil in the condenser enters the injection chamber and reenters the compressor under the action of the negative pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of oil return protection. The ejector comprises an injection chamber and a reducer pipe installed at one end of the injection chamber. One end of the branch pipe installed in the injection chamber needs to extend into the reducer pipe, that is, the reducer pipe and the branch pipe overlap. Since the other end of the reducer pipe is connected to the compressor suction end through a pipeline, it is necessary to replace the reducer pipe with different inner diameters. Since the reducer pipe and the branch pipe overlap, the pipeline connected to the compressor suction end needs to be removed to provide space for dismounting the reducer pipe. This method requires the removal of the bolts connecting the pipeline and the compressor suction end, which increases the number of bolts to be dismounted and reduces the efficiency of replacing the reducer pipe.

[0010] The utility model discloses the beneficial effects of:

[0011] 1. The high-speed airflow discharged from the compressor exhaust end of the water chiller flows into the reducing pipe through the branch pipe, the airflow increases in speed when passing through the middle part of the reducing pipe due to the reducing pipe being thick at both ends and thin in the middle, thereby forming negative pressure in the ejector chamber, and the oil liquid in the condenser enters the ejector chamber and reenters the compressor under the action of the negative pressure, achieving the purpose of oil return protection.

[0012] 2. When replacing the reducing pipe, the reducing pipe and the inner cylinder and the ejector chamber are separated, then the inner cylinder is moved to be retracted into the outer cylinder, thereby expanding the spacing between the ejector chamber and the outer cylinder, then the reducing pipe is moved to move towards the outer cylinder until the one end of the branch pipe moves out of the reducing pipe, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the reducing pipe, without the need to disassemble the pipeline connected to the suction end of the compressor in the water chiller to provide space for the separation of the reducing pipe and the branch pipe, reducing the number of bolt disassembly, and improving the replacement efficiency of the reducing pipe.

[0013] 3. After the inner cylinder is connected with the reducing pipe, the two ends of the screw rod are respectively penetrated through the round holes in the two connecting ears, then the two nuts on the two ends of the screw rod are twisted, and the two nuts on the ends of the screw rod are tightly attached to the connecting ears, at this time, the screw rod, the nut and the connecting ear jointly limit the relative position of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the stability of the structure is improved.
