It is responsible for connecting the ventilation ducts of various parts together, ensuring smooth airflow within the system. A good ventilation duct connection structure must not only guarantee the airtightness of the connections to prevent air leakage, but also possess sufficient strength and stability to withstand the effects of pressure, vibration, and temperature changes generated during system operation.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215568678 discloses a ventilation duct connection structure for a central air conditioning system, including ventilation ducts and a duct connection mechanism, with two ventilation ducts connected by the duct connection mechanism. The duct connection mechanism consists of an upper sealing strip, a pressure-reducing layer, a fastening mechanism, and a lower sealing strip. The fastening mechanism includes a rotary fastener, a pull-out fastener, and a reverse fastener. The rotary fastener is rotatably connected to the upper sealing strip via a pivot at the top, and the pull-out fastener is slidably mounted on the side. A reverse fastener is mounted inside the pull-out fastener. A side locking block is located at the inner corner where the reverse fastener connects to the pull-out fastener, and an elastic band is mounted above the side locking block and connected to the rotary fastener. The lower sealing strip is locked in reverse by rotating the rotary fastener and pulling the pull-out fastener. The structure and operation of the fastening mechanism are relatively complex. Repairing or replacing damaged parts can be difficult, requiring a high level of technical skill from the installers.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combination Figures 1-6 A ventilation structure for a central air conditioning system includes a connecting pipe 1. Arm frames 11 are bolted to the outer walls of both sides of the connecting pipe 1. Air conditioning ducts 2 are bolted to the arm frames 11, ensuring a tight connection between the connecting pipe 1 and the air conditioning ducts 2, guaranteeing the integrity and sealing of the ventilation system. Two adjusting plates 12 are symmetrically slidable on the inner walls of both sides of the connecting pipe 1, allowing them to slide within the connecting pipe 1 according to actual needs, facilitating position adjustment and adapting to different installation and usage conditions. Sliding grooves 120 are symmetrically provided on the side walls at both ends of the adjusting plates 12, providing guidance and limiting for the sliding of the adjusting plates 12, making the sliding of the adjusting plates 12 within the connecting pipe 1 more stable. Two hinges 3 are fixed between the two adjusting plates 12, symmetrically arranged at the ends of the side walls of the adjusting pipe 12. The hinges 3 allow the two adjusting plates 12 to rotate relative to each other, enhancing structural flexibility. Each hinge 3 is fixedly equipped with a buffer mechanism 5, providing buffer protection for the operation of the ventilation structure.

[0027] The buffer mechanism 5 includes connecting columns 51. One end of each connecting column 51 is fixedly connected to the hinge 3, and the other end is slidably connected to the balance plate 52. The connecting columns 51 serve to connect and transmit force. The balance plate 52 has a buffer groove 50 and a groove 520 adapted to the connecting columns 51. The groove 520 provides limiting and guiding for the sliding of the connecting columns 51. The groove 520 has an inverted T-shaped structure with an upper end diameter smaller than the lower end diameter, which better limits the connecting columns 51 and prevents them from excessive displacement or detachment during sliding. The ends of the two connecting columns 51 that extend into the balance plate 52 are provided with limiting blocks 511 to prevent the connecting columns 51 from detaching from the balance plate 52. The bottom end of each limiting block 511 abuts against a ball 521. The part of the limiting block 511 that contacts the ball 521 is provided with an elastic pad 512, which can reduce the impact force and play a buffering and protective role. A slider 522 abuts between two rolling balls 521. The slider 522 has a trapezoidal platform structure and fits tightly with the wedge-shaped platform 523 of the buffer groove 50. The buffering effect of the wedge-shaped platform 523 is used to improve the buffering performance. The slider 522 is slidably set in the buffer groove 50 of the balance plate 52. Its position can be adjusted according to the force to change the buffering performance. The wedge-shaped platforms 523 are symmetrically fixed on the inner walls of both ends of the buffer groove 50 to limit the sliding range of the slider 522 and provide additional buffering when the rolling balls 521 slide to both ends.

[0028] The hinge 3 includes a positioning plate 31, one end of which is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to a movable plate 32 via a shaft. The other end of the movable plate 32 is fixedly connected to another adjusting plate 12. This structure allows the two adjusting plates 12 to rotate flexibly, adapting to deformation and vibration during the operation of the ventilation structure.

[0029] The two ends of the balance plate 52 extend into the air conditioning ducts 2 on both sides and form a snap-fit ​​structure with the adjustment plate 12. The air conditioning ducts 2 are set between the balance plate 52 and the adjustment plate 12 to further enhance the stability of the connection and ensure the integrity and sealing of the ventilation structure.

[0030] Working Principle: When the central air conditioning ventilation structure is working, the connecting pipe 1 is bolted to the air conditioning duct 2 via the arm frame 11. The adjusting plate 12 inside the connecting pipe 1 is slidable, and its slide groove 120 serves as a guide and limiter. The hinge 3 between the adjusting plates 12 allows them to rotate relative to each other. When the ventilation structure is subjected to external impact or vibration, the force is transmitted to the connecting column 51 through the hinge 3. The connecting column 51 slides within the column groove 520. The inverted T-shaped structure of the column groove 520 effectively limits the displacement of the connecting column 51, preventing it from coming off. The limiting block 511 at the end of the connecting column 51 compresses the ball 521. The elastic pad 512 at the contact point between the limiting block 511 and the ball 521 first buffers part of the impact force, reducing wear between components. When the ball 521 is subjected to force, it pushes the slider 522 to slide within the buffer groove 50. The trapezoidal platform structure of the slider 522 is closely matched with the wedge-shaped platforms 523 at both ends of the buffer groove 50. The position is adjusted according to the magnitude of the force to further absorb and disperse the impact force, achieve self-balance, and thus effectively buffer and protect the ventilation structure.
