Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration filling technology, specifically a refrigerant filling and sealing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of refrigeration filling, the refrigerant charging pipe needs to be sealed after the refrigeration appliance is filled with refrigerant. The existing method of sealing the refrigerant charging pipe is to use flat-nose sealing pliers to flatten the refrigerant charging pipe and then use high-temperature gas welding to seal the opening of the charging pipe. High-temperature gas welding requires the storage of oxygen and acetylene and a special welding torch at the welding site.

[0003] Patent CN201488416U discloses a refrigerant charging and sealing device. It achieves sealing by flattening the refrigerant charging tube, blocking the end of the refrigerant charging tube with a sealing core, pressing the sealing core with a plug cap, and finally pressing the refrigerant charging tube, plug cap, and sealing core with a clamping ring. This utility model does not require open flame operation and has good sealing performance.

[0004] During the use of the above-mentioned device, tools are needed to flatten one end of the refrigerant charging pipe. This requires multiple adjustments to achieve the required level before sealing can proceed. The operation is cumbersome and time-consuming. Although the plug and sealing core can be locked together for sealing, the use of a clamping ring for tightening and reinforcement can easily reduce the fixing effect and lead to a decrease in sealing performance. Furthermore, disassembly is difficult in the later stages. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a refrigerant charging and sealing mechanism to solve the technical problems of poor sealing and fixing effect, poor sealing performance, and inconvenient disassembly during the refrigerant charging process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a refrigerant charging and sealing mechanism, comprising a charging pipe, a sealing ring No. 1 provided on the top side of the charging pipe, a connecting cylinder installed on the outer side of the charging pipe by a snap-fit, a sealing cylinder connected to the outer side of the connecting cylinder by a thread, an adjusting seat movably installed on the top side of the sealing cylinder by a bearing, a threaded rod connected to the inner side of the adjusting seat by a thread, a reinforcing sleeve movably installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod by a bearing, and a sealing block fixedly installed on the bottom side of the reinforcing sleeve.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a slot No. 1 is provided on the top side of the filling tube, a sealing ring No. 1 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the slot No. 1, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the filling tube.

At the same time, the sealing performance is improved by the sealing ring No. 1.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting inner cylinder is provided on the inner side of the connecting cylinder, and an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting cylinder. Three fixing screws are arranged equidistantly in a ring on the bottom side of the mounting plate, and the positions of the fixing screws correspond one-to-one with the through holes. After the three fixing screws are engaged with the through holes, it is convenient to use nuts for connection and fixation. At the same time, the connecting inner cylinder is engaged with the filling tube, which facilitates positioning and installation, and also improves the connection stability and sealing fit.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fitting groove is provided on the bottom side of the connecting cylinder. The size and shape of the fitting groove match the filling tube, and a compression sleeve is fixedly installed on the top side of the inner side of the fitting groove. A first sealing groove is opened on the bottom side of the compression sleeve, and the size and shape of the first sealing groove matches the first sealing ring.

Then, by rotating the sealing cylinder, it is connected and fixed with the connecting threads, facilitating installation. Simultaneously, the second slot facilitates the positioning and limiting of the reinforcing sleeve, improving the stability of the connection.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the sealing block is made of rubber, and its size and shape match the sealing opening. A handle is fixedly installed on the top side of the threaded rod, and a second sealing groove is provided on the bottom side of the reinforcing sleeve. The size and shape of the second sealing groove match the second sealing ring. During reinforcement, the handle is rotated, causing the threaded rod to move inside the adjusting seat and push the reinforcing sleeve and sealing block to move. This causes the second sealing groove on the bottom side of the reinforcing sleeve to engage with the second sealing ring, which helps to increase the sealing effect, prevent leakage, and push the sealing block to the bottom of the sealing opening to complete the sealing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the refrigerant charging sealing mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

After installing the connecting tube, it is possible to change the filling port specification of the filling tube, which helps to reduce overflow and facilitates sealing, reducing the need for manual flattening process.

[0014] 2. In the process of sealing, the sealing cylinder and the connecting cylinder are engaged, and the sealing block is engaged with the sealing opening. Then, by rotating the sealing cylinder, it is connected and fixed with the connecting thread. During this process, the sealing block moves continuously to seal. By rotating the handle, the threaded rod moves inside the adjusting seat and pushes the reinforcing sleeve and the sealing block to move, so that the second sealing groove on the bottom side of the reinforcing sleeve engages with the second sealing ring, which helps to increase the sealing effect. Under the action of the connecting thread and the threaded rod, the engagement effect of the sealing block is improved, avoiding loosening and leakage after long-term use, improving the overall stability and service life, and facilitating quick disassembly and assembly.

[0027] See Figure 2-3 As shown, a connecting inner cylinder 301 is provided on the inner side of the connecting cylinder 3, and a mounting plate 302 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting cylinder 3. Three fixing screws 303 are arranged equidistantly in a ring on the bottom side of the mounting plate 302, and the positions of the fixing screws 303 correspond one-to-one with the through holes 102. By engaging the three fixing screws 303 with the through holes 102, it is convenient to use nuts for connection and fixation. At the same time, by engaging the connecting inner cylinder 301 with the filling pipe 1, it is beneficial to facilitate positioning and installation, and also improves the connection stability and sealing fit.

[0028] The bottom side of the connecting cylinder 3 is provided with a fitting groove 304, the size and shape of which match the filling tube 1.
