[0002] The pipe used in the automobile air conditioner is mostly a special-shaped pipe, which can be adjusted in shape according to the size of the installation space and the arrangement of the surrounding pipes. The heat pump air conditioner pipe has a special structure, with a metal special-shaped pipe at both ends and a hose in the middle section. Therefore, the heat pump air conditioner pipe cannot be cast in one piece and needs to be assembled with the metal pipe and the hose.
