However, existing devices have some shortcomings; for example...
[0003] For example, a detachable air conditioning liquid receiver with announcement number CN221881843U, when used, includes an upper housing and a lower housing threadedly connected to the upper housing. Both the upper housing and the lower housing are equipped with filters, and the same sealing ring is slidably sleeved on their outer walls. A sealing component is provided in the sealing ring, and the sealing component seals the interface between the upper housing and the lower housing. By setting up an upper and lower housing, which are threadedly connected, the upper and lower housings can be easily separated, facilitating the cleaning of the internal filter. A sealing ring is slidably fitted onto both the upper and lower housings, and a sealing component is installed inside the sealing ring to seal the interface between the upper and lower housings, improving the seal and preventing leakage. However, this device has some problems. While it can be used effectively to disassemble the air conditioning receiver, it typically only allows for cleaning the internal filter after disassembly. Because it doesn't facilitate the disassembly of the internal filter, the air conditioning receiver's performance is often unsatisfactory. Therefore, we propose a detachable air conditioning receiver device to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a detachable air conditioner liquid receiver, including an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2, and an annular shell 3. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected to the annular shell 3 via a snap-fit connection mechanism. The snap-fit connection mechanism includes the upper shell 1, the annular shell 3, a first snap-fit block 4, a first spring 5, and a stop block 6. The annular shell 3 is fixedly connected to the first spring 5, and the first spring 5 is fixedly connected to the stop block 6. The stop block 6 is snapped to the first snap-fit block 4. The first snap-fit block 4 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1, and the annular shell 3 is snapped to the second snap-fit block 7. The second snap-fit block 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 8. The connecting rod 8 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the filter plate 10, and the front end of each connecting rod 8 is connected to the second snap-fit block 7. The second snap-fit block 7 is respectively snapped to the slot in the inner wall of the annular shell 3. The connecting rod 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the filter plate 10, and the tail end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the second spring 9. The second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the filter plate 10.
[0021] When in use, first pull the protrusions above the connecting rods 8 on both sides of the filter plate 10. The connecting rods 8 will move the second locking block 7, and at the same time the second spring 9 will retract, placing the filter plate 10 into the annular housing 3. This will allow the second locking block 7 to be inserted into the slot inside the annular housing 3, completing the installation of the filter plate 10 inside the annular housing 3. When disassembly is required, pull the protrusions above the connecting rods 8 on both sides. This will cause the connecting rods 8 to disengage the second locking block 7 at the front end from the slot inside the annular housing 3, allowing the filter plate 10 to be pulled out for better cleaning. Then, insert the first locking block 4 below the upper housing 1 and the first locking block 4 above the lower housing 2 into the slots on the upper and lower sides of the annular housing 3, respectively. This will cause the first locking block 4 to engage with the stop blocks 6 connected to the front ends of the multiple first springs 5 inside the annular housing 3, completing the connection between the upper housing 1, the lower housing 2, and the annular housing 3.
[0022] A left fixing ring 15 and a right fixing ring 17 are provided at the connection between the upper shell 1 and the annular shell 3. The left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 are connected by bolts 16. Both the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 have sealing mechanisms inside. The sealing mechanism includes a fixing plate 11, a connecting ring 12, a support rod 13, a third spring 14, the left fixing ring 15, and a sealing gasket 18. The upper shell 1 engages with the fixing plate 11, and the fixing plate 11 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the connecting ring 12. The fixing plate 11 engages with both the upper shell 1 and the annular shell 3. The surface of the connecting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the support rod 13, and the support rod 13 is slidably connected to the left fixed ring 15. A third spring 14 is provided on the surface of the support rod 13. The surface of the connecting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the sealing gasket 18. Both the left fixed ring 15 and the right fixed ring 17 are provided with sealing mechanisms. The left fixed ring 15 and the right fixed ring 17 are respectively located at the connection between the upper housing 1 and the annular housing 3, and the lower housing 2 and the annular housing 3. The support rods 13 are arranged in an array about the surfaces of the left fixed rings 15 and the right fixed rings 17, and a third spring 14 is provided on the surface of each support rod 13.
[0023] At this point, remove the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17, so that the internal fixing plate 11 is inserted into the slots on both sides of the connection between the upper housing 1 and the annular housing 3. At the same time, the sealing gasket 18 on the surface of the connecting ring 12 contacts the connection point. Then, connect the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 with the bolt 16. At this time, the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 move closer to each other, and the support rod 13 on the surface of the connecting ring 12 on both sides slides inside the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17. At the same time, the third spring 14 on the surface contracts, making the sealing gasket 18 fit more tightly with the connection point. Repeat the previous operation to install the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 at the connection point of the lower housing 2 and the annular housing 3, so that the sealing effect of the connection point of the upper housing 1, the lower housing 2 and the annular housing 3 is better.
[0024] Working Principle: When using the detachable air conditioner liquid receiver, first pull the protrusions above the connecting rods 8 on both sides of the filter plate 10. The connecting rods 8 drive the second locking block 7 to move, and at the same time, the second spring 9 retracts, placing the filter plate 10 into the annular housing 3. This allows the second locking block 7 to insert into the slot inside the annular housing 3, completing the installation of the filter plate 10 inside the annular housing 3. To disassemble, pull the protrusions above the connecting rods 8 on both sides, causing the connecting rods 8 to disengage the second locking block 7 at the front end from the slot inside the annular housing 3. Then, pull out the filter plate 10 for better cleaning. At this time, insert the first locking block 4 below the upper housing 1 and the first locking block 4 above the lower housing 2 into the slots on the upper and lower sides of the annular housing 3, respectively. This allows the first locking block 4 to engage with the stops 6 connected to the front ends of the multiple first springs 5 inside the annular housing 3, completing the connection of the upper housing 1, lower housing 2, and annular housing 3. The connection is then made by removing the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17, allowing the internal fixing plate 11 to be inserted into the slots on both sides of the connection between the upper housing 1 and the annular housing 3. At the same time, the sealing gasket 18 on the surface of the connecting ring 12 contacts the connection point. The left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 are then connected by bolts 16. The left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 move closer to each other, while the support rods 13 on the surface of the connecting rings 12 on both sides slide inside the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17. Simultaneously, the third spring 14 on the surface contracts, making the sealing gasket 18 fit more tightly with the connection point. The previous operation is repeated to install the left fixing ring 15 and the right fixing ring 17 at the connection point between the lower housing 2 and the annular housing 3, resulting in a better sealing effect at the connection point of the upper housing 1, the lower housing 2, and the annular housing 3, thus completing a series of operations. The contents not described in detail in this specification are prior art known to those skilled in the art.
