[0072] This part will describe the specific embodiments of the utility model in detail, the preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown in the drawings, the role of the drawings is to supplement the description of the text part with graphics, so that people can intuitively and visually understand each technical feature and the overall technical scheme of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the protection scope of the utility model.

[0073] The application scenarios of the light air duct and the aspects of contribution to the prior art will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0074] A light air duct, comprising a pipeline 3 and a connecting piece, the connecting piece is used for connecting the pipeline 3;

[0075] As Figures 1-5 shown; the structure of the connecting piece is shown.

[0076] The connecting piece comprises a connecting body a 5 and a connecting body b 6; the connecting piece is a double-layer structure and is in the shape of an I-beam as a whole;

[0077] The connecting piece is a connecting strip,

[0078] The connecting strip is divided into a connecting strip one 1 and a connecting strip two 2;

[0079] The connecting strip one 1 and the connecting strip two 2 both comprise a sealing part 1-1, the sealing part 1-1 is in the shape of a C as a whole and has an opening, and each side has a sealing arm;

[0080] An extension part 1-2 is arranged on the side of the sealing part 1-1 away from the opening, and the other side of the extension part 1-2 is provided with a locking part 1-3;

[0081] The sealing part 1-1, the extension part 1-2 and the locking part 1-3 are all double-layer structures;

[0082] The extension section 4-2 is a double-layer structure formed by the outer layer extension of the sealing part 1-1;

[0083] The locking part 1-3 includes a blind head 1-3-1 and a closed end 1-3-2, with the blind head 1-3-1 and the closed end 1-3-2 located on both sides of the extension part 1-2;

[0084] The blind head 1-3-1 is O-shaped, which is a double-layer structure formed by the extension segment 4-2 folding back one layer;

[0085] The closed end 1-3-2 has a double U-shaped cross shape, which is a closed double-layer structure formed by the mutual locking of the free ends of the two layers of the extension section 4-2.

[0086] The difference between connecting strip 2 and connecting strip 1 is that connecting strip 2 has connecting parts 2-4 at both ends of the double-layer extension 1-2. The connecting parts 2-4 are L-shaped, and the two connecting parts 2-4 of the double-layer extension 1-2 are T-shaped when they are close together.

[0087] The double-layer structure of the connecting strip can be made by stamping and bending metal sheets.

[0088] The purpose of using a double-layer structure for the connecting strip is that...

[0089] While the inner layer of the sealing part 1-1 locks the pipe 3, the outer layer of the connector also serves to support and fix the flange.

[0090] Furthermore, due to the design of the extension 1-2 and the locking part 1-3, the outer layer has sufficient structural rigidity, and has structural stress rigidity in six directions: up, down, left, right, front, and back.

[0091] The connecting part 2-4 of the connecting strip 2 can be engaged with the sealing part 1-1 of the connecting strip 1.

[0092] like Figures 6-8 The structure of pipe 3 is shown in the figure;

[0093] The main body of pipe 3 is a single pipe body 3-1, which has a thin-walled structure. The cross-section of pipe 3 is rectangular.

[0094] Sealing edges are provided at both ends of each side of pipe 3; the sealing edge 3-2 is L-shaped and is located on the outside of pipe body 3-1;

[0095] The length of the sealing edge is the same as the side length of each rectangular face.

[0096] The sealing part 1-1 of the connecting strip engages with the sealing edge of the pipe 3 to form a sealed connection.

[0097] like Figures 11-14 As shown, this illustrates the combination of lightweight air ducts.

[0098] Place the two ends of pipe 3 opposite each other, and align the pipe bodies 3-1 of the two pipes 3.

[0099] Connector b6 connects to a set of parallel sealing edges of pipe 3, with the two opposite sealing edges inserted into the C-shaped structure of sealing part 1-1;

[0100] The length of the sealing part 1-1 of the connector b6 is the same as the length of the locked sealing edge.

[0101] The sealing part 1-1 of the connector b6 is engaged and locked with the sealing edge of the pipe 3 by manual hammering or pressing.

[0102] Connector b6 can be either connector 1 or connector 2.

[0103] Then use connector a5 to connect another set of parallel sealing edges.

[0104] The length of connector a5 is the sum of the length of the parallel sealing edges of the group and twice the height of connector b6.

[0105] L = l + h * 2;

[0106] L is the length of connector a5;

[0107] l is the length of a set of parallel sealing edges connected by connector a5;

[0108] h is the height of connector b6;

[0109] The height of the connector b6 is the distance from the outside of the opening end of the sealing part 1-1 to the top of the locking part 1-3.

[0110] Connector a5 uses connector strip 1;

[0111] Connector b6 uses either connector 1 or connector 2;

[0112] When connector b6 uses connector strip 2;

[0113] Connector a5 connects to another set of parallel sealing edges, passing through the connecting part 2-4 of connector strip 2 and the sealing edge of pipe 3 respectively, so that the connecting part 2-4 of connector strip 2 and the sealing edge of pipe 3 are located within the C-shaped structure of sealing part 1-1 of connector a5.

[0114] The sealing part 1-1 of connector a5 is pressed by hand hammering or a seaming machine. This connection method can connect pipe 3, connector a5, and connector b6 into one unit, which makes the structure more stable, stronger, and the anti-detachment performance of the insert better.

[0115] To further stabilize the connection, a fastener 7 is used to secure the sealed portion 1-1 of the tightened connector to the pipe body 3-1. The fastener 7 passes through the sealed portion 1-1 of the connector, the sealing edge of the pipe 3, and the pipe body 3-1.

[0116] The fixing member 7 can be in the form of a rivet. Holes can be drilled at the fixing positions and the rivets can be used for fixing.

[0117] The way of fixing with bolts after drilling holes can also be adopted.

[0118] In the figure, an example of arranging one fixing member 7 on each of the two sealing arms on both sides is given. One or more fixing members 7 can also be arranged on each side.

[0119] Such as Figures 9-10 shown, the structure of the corner fitting 4 is shown.

[0120] Such as Figures 15-18 shown, the air duct structure installed with the corner fitting 4 is shown.

[0121] In order to further increase the structural strength of the connecting body and the whole air duct, the corner fitting 4 is installed on the end face of the connecting body a5.

[0122] The whole corner fitting 4 is in the shape of a hollow shell with a single-side opening, and the whole presents as a cross shape or a shape similar to a cross.

[0123] The corner fitting 4 is successively provided with a locking section 4-1, an extension section 4-2, a sealing section 4-3 and a clamping section 4-4;

[0124] The locking section 4-1 is snapped into the locking part 1-3 of the connecting body a5;

[0125] The extension section 4-2 is snapped into the extension part 1-2 of the connecting body a5;

[0126] The sealing section 4-3 is snapped into the sealing part 1-1 of the connecting body a5;

[0127] The clamping section 4-4 is snapped into the locking part 1-3 of the connecting body b6, and the length of the clamping section 4-4 can be adjusted according to the installation needs;

[0128] The corner fitting 4 can also be pressed by manual hammering or a seaming machine.

[0129] In order to prevent the corner fitting 4 from falling off, after the corner fitting 4 is installed, the fixing member 7 is used to connect and fix the corner fitting 4 and the connecting body a5.

[0130] The fixing position of the fixing member 7 is set on the extension section 4-2, and the fixing member 7 passes through the corner fitting 4 and the connecting member.

[0131] The fixing member 7 can be in the form of a rivet. Holes can be drilled at the fixing positions and the rivets can be used for fixing.

[0132] The way of fixing with bolts after drilling holes can also be adopted.

[0133] Figure 9 、10 Two fastener types with opposite directions for locking section 4-1 are given because the thickness of the blind head 1-3-1 and the closed end 1-3-2 of the locking part 1-3 is inconsistent, so the structure of the fastener needs to be set accordingly.

[0134] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0135] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
