[0047] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0048] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 The present application describes a pipe clamp provided in an embodiment of the pipe clamp, which is applied to a refrigeration system and includes a first portion 100 and a second portion 200.
[0049] It should be noted that the refrigeration system is used to provide cooling to the compartments of the storage equipment so that the temperature of the compartments reaches a suitable refrigeration temperature for storing items.
[0050] The first part 100 forms a first cavity 110 and a second cavity 120 with openings, and also forms a first snap-fit portion. The second part 200 is elastically connected to the first part 100 and forms a second snap-fit portion. The pipe clamp forms a first state and a second state through the relative elastic deformation of the second part 200 and the first part 100. In the first state, the first snap-fit portion and the second snap-fit portion are disengaged, and the first cavity 110 is open; in the second state, the first snap-fit portion and the second snap-fit portion are engaged, and the first cavity 110 is covered by the second part 200. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first cavity 110, the second cavity 120, the first opening, and the second opening can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0051] It is understandable that the elastic connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200 allows the pipe clamp to have a first state and a second state through relative elastic deformation. In the first state, the first and second locking parts disengage, leaving the openings of the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 open. This allows the first and second pipes of the refrigeration system to enter or exit the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 through their respective openings, thus fixing and releasing the pipes (including the first and second pipes). This is not only convenient and quick but also facilitates installation and maintenance. In the second state, the first and second locking parts engage to block the opening of the first cavity 110, ensuring that the pipes are firmly fixed in place. This reduces the possibility of vibration during the operation of the refrigeration system and pipe displacement or detachment caused by vibration, ensuring the safe operation of the refrigeration system while reducing noise.
[0052] Meanwhile, on the one hand, since the first part 100 and the second part 200 are elastically connected, they also help to absorb the pipe vibration caused by refrigerant flow and the periodic intake and exhaust of the compressor to a certain extent. The elastic deformation provides a certain buffer to reduce the wear of the pipe caused by vibration. On the other hand, by fixing the first pipe and the second pipe by the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 respectively, the cross interference between the pipes can be reduced. The heavier pipe and the larger diameter pipe in the first pipe and the second pipe can also limit the other pipe, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.
[0053] For example, the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the first pipe and the second pipe are spaced apart in the vertical direction and correspond one-to-one with the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120, and the axes of the first pipe and the second pipe are parallel.
[0054] The pipe clamp provided in the embodiments of this application effectively reduces the vibration and noise of the pipeline in the refrigeration system, improves the stability and maintenance efficiency of the refrigeration system, and extends the service life of the entire refrigeration system.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, one of the first and second latching portions includes a first latching groove 131, and the other of the first and second latching portions includes a first latch 211, which is elastically latched to the first latching groove 131. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first latching groove 131 and the first latch 211 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.
[0056] Understandably, when the pipe clamp is in the second state, the first latch 211 will elastically deform and squeeze into the first slot 131, ensuring good sealing and stability. Furthermore, the elastic deformation allows the pipe clamp to adapt to pipes of different sizes, improving its versatility and flexibility.
[0057] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first snap-fit portion includes a first snap-fit groove 131, and the second snap-fit portion includes a first snap-fit buckle 211, to balance the first portion 100 and the second portion 200.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first latch 211 includes a connecting segment 2111 and an abutting segment 2112. The connecting segment 2111 extends along a first direction. The abutting segment 2112 is disposed at the end of the connecting segment 2111 and protrudes from the surface of the connecting segment 2111 along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction intersect. The first slot 131 includes a first slot segment 1311 and a second slot segment 1312 connected sequentially along the first direction. The slot width of the first slot segment 1311 is smaller than the slot width of the second slot segment 1312. The connecting segment 2111 at least partially engages with the first slot segment 1311, and the abutting segment 2112 engages with the second slot segment 1312.
[0059] It should be noted that when the pipe clamp is in the second state, the first direction is the front-to-back direction, and the second direction is the up-and-down direction. The first and second pipes, which respectively mate with the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120, extend in the left-to-right direction. That is, the opening of the first slot 131 faces backward, the width of the first slot segment 1311 refers to the distance between the two inner sidewalls of the first slot segment 1311 that are arranged opposite each other in the up-and-down direction, and the width of the second slot segment 1312 refers to the distance between the two inner sidewalls of the second slot segment 1312 that are arranged opposite each other in the up-and-down direction.
[0060] Understandably, the connecting segment 2111 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the abutting segment 2112 protrudes from at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting segment 2111. The first groove segment 1311 and the second groove segment 1312 are connected sequentially in the front-to-back direction, and the groove width of the first groove segment 1311 is smaller than the groove width of the second groove segment 1312 so that a step is formed between the first groove segment 1311 and the second groove segment 1312. That is, during the process of switching the pipe clamp from the first state to the second state, the abutting segment 2112 passes through the first groove segment 1311 and is elastically squeezed before entering the second groove segment 1312. Under the action of its own elastic force, the abutting segment 2112 deforms to abut against the inner wall of the second groove segment 1312. At the same time, the connecting segment 2111 abuts against the inner wall of the first groove segment 1311, and the connection between the connecting segment 2111 and the abutting segment 2112 abuts against the step, providing a stable locking position, thereby reducing the possibility of the first buckle 211 exiting the first slot 131 and ensuring the reliability of the pipe clamp.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the first engaging portion includes a first engaging slot 131, and the second engaging portion includes a first latch 211. Each connecting segment 2111 is provided with two abutting segments 2112, which protrude from the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting segment 2111, respectively. Of course, in other embodiments, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first snap-fit part includes a first snap-fit groove 131, and the second snap-fit part includes a first snap-fit buckle 211. Each connecting segment 2111 may also be provided with only one abutting segment 2112. The abutting segment 2112 protrudes from the upper surface of the connecting segment 2111. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5-8As shown, the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 are spaced apart along a second direction. The abutment section 2112 has a first guide surface 2110, which is inclined in the second direction along the bottom of the groove near the second groove section 1312. At least one of the first groove section 1311 and the second groove section 1312 has a second guide surface 1310, which cooperates with the first guide surface 2110. It should be noted that the size and inclination angle of the first guide surface 2110 and the second guide surface 1310 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.
[0063] It is understandable that the side of the abutting section 2112 away from the connecting section 2111 is provided with an inclined first guide surface 2110. When the first groove section 1311 has a second guide surface 1310 that cooperates with the first guide surface 2110, the sliding cooperation between the first guide surface 2110 and the second guide surface 1310 facilitates the smooth passage of the abutting section 2112 through the first groove section 1311 into the second groove section 1312, reducing the resistance during the pipe clamp state switching process. When the second groove section 1312 has a second guide surface 1310 that cooperates with the first guide surface 2110, the abutting cooperation between the first guide surface 2110 and the second guide surface 1310 increases the contact area between the abutting part and the second groove section 1312, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the first buckle 211 and the first slot 131.
[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the first engaging portion includes a first engaging groove 131, and the second engaging portion includes a first latch 211. The two abutting sections 2112 of the first latch 211 have corresponding first guide surfaces 2110 arranged opposite each other, and the distance between them in the vertical direction gradually decreases towards the bottom of the second groove section 1312. The second guide surface 1310 is disposed in the first groove section 1311 and located on the inner top surface of the first groove section 1311. Of course, in other embodiments, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first engaging portion includes a first engaging groove 131, and the second engaging portion includes a first snap fastener 211. Each connecting segment 2111 may also have only one abutting segment 2112, which protrudes from the upper surface of the connecting segment 2111. The first guide surface 2110 slopes downward along the bottom of the groove near the second groove segment 1312, and the second guide surface 1310 is disposed in the second groove segment 1312 and located on the inner top surface of the second groove segment 1312. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the first engaging portion further includes a second latch 132, and the second engaging portion further includes a second slot 212. The second latch 132 and the second slot 212 are elastically engaged, and the outer wall portion of the second latch 132 forms the inner wall portion of the first cavity 110. It should be noted that the shape and size of the second latch 132 and the second slot 212 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0066] Understandably, by elastically engaging the second slot 212 and the second latch 132, the contact area between the first and second latching parts is increased, providing additional stability and reliability. Furthermore, the outer wall portion of the second latch 132 forms the inner wall portion of the first cavity 110, saving material while maintaining the structural integrity of the pipe clamp. The weight of the first pipe can also be used to improve the stability of the engagement between the second latch 132 and the second slot 212.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, when the first latching part includes a first latching groove 131 and the second latching part includes a first latch 211, the outer wall portion of the first latch 211 forms the inner wall of the second latching groove 212, and the outer wall portion of the second latch 132 forms the inner wall of the first latching groove 131.
[0068] Understandably, a portion of the outer top wall of the second latch 132 forms the inner bottom wall of the first cavity 110, and the other portion abuts against the inner top wall of the second slot 212; a portion of the outer bottom wall of the second latch 132 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the second slot 212 formed by the first latch 211, and the other portion forms the inner top wall of the first slot 131, thereby saving materials and strengthening the structure of the first and second latching parts, improving the stability and durability of the pipe clamp.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, there are at least two first cavities 110, which are spaced apart. There are also at least two first slots 131 and at least two first latches 211. The first slots 131 and the first cavities 110 are staggered along the arrangement direction of the at least two first cavities 110. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the first cavities 110 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0070] Understandably, the presence of at least two first cavities 110 spaced apart vertically allows the pipe clamp to simultaneously accommodate at least two first pipes, improving its applicability and flexibility, and making it more suitable for refrigeration systems with more complex piping layouts. Simultaneously, the provision of at least two interlocking first slots 131 and first latches 211 enhances the locking strength and stability of the pipe clamp. Furthermore, the staggered vertical arrangement of the first cavities 110 and first slots 131 helps to distribute the force on the pipe clamp, reducing stress concentration at single points, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the pipe clamp.
[0071] It should be noted that when there are at least two first cavities 110, the outer wall portion of the first buckle 211 closest to the connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200 forms the inner wall of the second slot 212, the outer wall portion of the second buckle 132 forms the inner wall portion of the first cavity 110 closest to the connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200, and the outer wall portion of the second buckle 132 forms the inner wall of the first slot 131 closest to the connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200.
[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the first cavity 110 has two parts. The inner top surface of the upper first groove segment 1311 has a second guide surface 1310, and both the inner top surface and inner bottom surface of the lower first groove segment 1311 have second guide surfaces 1310. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific distribution of the second guide surfaces 1310 can also be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the inner wall of the second cavity 120 is an arc-shaped surface with an arc radius greater than or equal to 4π / 3, which more evenly distributes the contact pressure between the second pipeline and the second cavity 120, reducing local stress concentration. This reduces the risk of deformation or damage to the second pipeline during long-term use, and ensures that the opening of the second cavity 120 remains open while facilitating the fixing and release of the second pipeline.
[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pipe clamp also includes a flexible layer 300. The inner wall of at least one of the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 is provided with a flexible layer 300 for flexible contact with the pipeline. This can reduce the direct pressure of the pipe clamp on the pipeline, avoid local stress concentration when the pipeline is fixed, adapt to the shape changes of the pipeline, provide a tighter contact, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the pipe clamp, and also facilitating the release of the second pipeline.
[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the second cavity 120 is disposed away from the elastic connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200, and the distance between the elastic connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200 and the second cavity 120 is greater than the length of the second part 200. It should be noted that the length and shape of the first part 100 and the second part 200 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.
[0076] Understandably, the second cavity 120 is located at the lower end of the first part 100, thus providing more space for installing or removing the first pipeline. At the same time, the distance between the elastic connection point of the first part 100 and the second part 200 and the second cavity 120 is greater than the length of the second part 200, reducing the possibility that the end of the second part 200 away from the connection point with the first part 100 and the middle part of the first part 100 may prematurely abut before the first and second snap-fit parts are snapped together.
[0077] In this embodiment, the side of the first portion 100 away from the second portion 200 faces the air duct of the storage device, thereby improving the protection of the pipeline. It should be noted that the air duct of the storage device is a common technique in the art, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it.
[0078] In some embodiments, the pipe clamp is made using a two-material injection molding process, and the hardness of the contact area between the pipe clamp and the pipeline is less than the hardness of the rest of the pipe.
[0079] Understandably, the lower hardness of the material at the point of direct contact between the pipe clamp and the pipe provides better wear resistance and impact resistance, reduces wear during contact with the pipe, more effectively absorbs and disperses stress, reduces stress concentration, and extends the service life of both the pipe clamp and the pipe. The higher hardness of the material at the point of non-direct contact with the pipe provides better structural stability and maintains its physical properties under high or low temperature environments. Furthermore, the pipe clamp is integrally molded using a two-material injection molding process, simplifying processing and providing high fixing strength.
[0080] This application also provides a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system includes pipes and the aforementioned pipe clamps, with the pipe clamps connected to a first pipe and a second pipe of the pipes, respectively.
[0081] It should be noted that the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 of the pipe clamp are respectively provided with the first pipe and the second pipe to fix the pipe and stabilize the gap between the pipes, thereby reducing vibration and noise.
[0082] It is understandable that the elastic connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200 allows the pipe clamp to have a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first and second locking parts disengage, leaving the openings of the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 open. This allows the first and second pipes of the refrigeration system to enter or exit the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 120 through their respective openings, thus fixing and releasing the pipes (including the first and second pipes). This is not only convenient and quick but also facilitates installation and maintenance. In the second state, the first and second locking parts engage to block the opening of the first cavity 110, ensuring that the pipes are firmly fixed in place. This reduces the possibility of vibration during the operation of the refrigeration system and pipe displacement or detachment caused by vibration, ensuring the safe operation of the refrigeration system while reducing noise.
[0083] The refrigeration system provided according to the embodiments of this application effectively reduces the generation of vibration and noise in the refrigeration system, improves the stability and maintenance efficiency of the refrigeration system, and extends the service life of the entire refrigeration system.
[0084] This application also provides a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device includes the refrigeration system described above.
[0085] It should be noted that the storage devices in the embodiments can be understood as refrigeration and storage devices in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cases, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, refrigerated display cases, and refrigerated vending machines, etc. Storage devices have diverse structural forms and a wide range of applications. As a specific example, a refrigerator is used as an example in this application embodiment.
[0086] It should be noted that the refrigeration system is used to provide cooling to the compartments formed by the storage equipment so that the temperature of the compartments is suitable for long-term storage of items.
