The first and second O-shaped sealing rings 5 and 6 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the inlet and outlet joint 1, respectively, to provide additional sealing effect and ensure that the liquid reservoir assembly can maintain a sealed state under various working conditions. A welding ring 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the inlet and outlet joint 1 close to the cylinder assembly 4. The welding ring 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the inlet and outlet joint 1 close to the cylinder assembly 4, used to enhance the connection strength between the inlet and outlet joint 1 and the cylinder assembly 4, and improve the overall stability. A drying bag 8 is inserted into the inner wall of the cylinder assembly 4. The drying bag 8 is inserted into the inner wall of the cylinder assembly 4, used to absorb and remove moisture and humidity in the liquid reservoir, and maintain the dry state of the liquid. Connection brackets 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder assembly 4 on both sides. The connection brackets 9 are made of three-millimeter aluminum plates and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder assembly 4 on both sides. The connection brackets are firmly riveted and made of three-millimeter aluminum plates, providing stable support and facilitating the installation and fixation of the liquid reservoir assembly on the equipment. An upper plug cap 10 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the cylinder assembly 4. The upper plug cap 10 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the cylinder assembly 4, used to close the other end of the cylinder assembly, prevent liquid leakage, and maintain the stability of the internal pressure of the liquid reservoir.
[0033] The cylinder assembly 4 serves as the main cavity for storing and containing liquid.
[0034] The filter screen 3 can remove impurities in the liquid to ensure the purity of the liquid.
[0035] The sealing effect of the liquid reservoir assembly is achieved through the joint action of the inlet and outlet joint 1, the plug cap 2, the first O-shaped sealing ring 5, the second O-shaped sealing ring 6, and the upper plug cap 10, preventing liquid leakage.
[0036] The drying bag 8 can absorb and remove moisture and humidity in the liquid reservoir, maintaining the dry state of the liquid.
[0037] The connection brackets 9 provide stable support, facilitating the installation and fixation of the liquid reservoir assembly on the equipment.

[0042] The connecting bracket is made of 3.0mm thick aluminum plate with the brand: 4343 / 3003 / 4343. Since 4343 is a solder with welding, it is uniformly attached to the reservoir cylinder without seams, and the attached area is larger, so the welding qualification rate is higher, and the welding qualification rate can be increased to at least 98%.
[0043] Example two:
[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the refrigeration system, the reservoir is a key component for storing and regulating refrigerant, ensuring the system runs efficiently and stably. Traditional reservoirs have limitations in sealing, impurity filtration, and desiccant replacement, so a new type of reservoir assembly is needed to solve these problems and improve the overall performance of the refrigeration system.
[0045] Installation: The reservoir assembly is fixed to the appropriate position of the refrigeration system through the connecting bracket, ensuring that the inlet and outlet joints are correctly connected to the system's refrigerant pipeline. The welding ring enhances the connection strength between the inlet and outlet joints and the cylinder assembly, ensuring the stability of the overall structure.
[0046] Storage: Refrigerant enters the reservoir assembly through the inlet and outlet joints and is stored in the cylinder assembly. The cylinder assembly serves as the main cavity for storing and containing refrigerant, ensuring that the system can quickly access refrigerant when needed.
[0047] Regulation: During the operation of the refrigeration system, the reservoir assembly can regulate the supply of refrigerant, ensuring that the system maintains a stable operating state under different working conditions. By adjusting the opening of the inlet and outlet joints, the flow of refrigerant can be controlled to meet the system's demand for refrigerant.
[0048] Impurity filtration: Before entering the reservoir assembly, the refrigerant will pass through the filter screen to remove impurities and particles, ensuring the purity of the refrigerant. This helps to improve the efficiency and stability of the refrigeration system.
[0049] Desiccant replacement: The desiccant bag in the reservoir assembly is used to absorb and remove moisture and humidity in the refrigerant, maintaining the dryness of the refrigerant. When the desiccant bag is saturated, a new desiccant bag can be easily replaced by removing the plug cover without disassembling and replacing the entire reservoir, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0050] Sealing detection: After installation is complete, the reservoir assembly needs to be checked for sealing. By filling a certain pressure of gas (such as nitrogen), and observing whether there is a leak, the sealing performance of the reservoir assembly is ensured to be good.
[0051] Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection of the reservoir assembly, including checking whether the filter screen is clogged, whether the drying bag is saturated, and whether the connecting bracket is loose, etc. Timely find out the problem and deal with it, to ensure the long-term stable operation of the reservoir assembly.
[0052] By applying this new type of reservoir assembly, the refrigeration system has been significantly improved in terms of sealing, impurity filtration and desiccant replacement, and the overall performance of the system has been improved, running more stable and efficient. At the same time, the structure design of the reservoir assembly is reasonable, easy to maintain and replace parts, reducing the maintenance cost and time of the system.
[0053] Working principle: The refrigerant enters the reservoir assembly through the inlet and outlet joint 1, and the cylinder assembly 4 serves as the main cavity for storing and containing the refrigerant. It is sleeved on the surface of the filter screen 3 and fixedly connected with the inlet and outlet joint 1, forming a closed storage space.
[0054] During the operation of the refrigeration system, the reservoir assembly can adjust the supply of refrigerant to ensure that the system can maintain a stable operating state under different working conditions. By adjusting the opening of the inlet and outlet joint 1, the flow of refrigerant can be controlled to meet the demand of the system for refrigerant.
[0055] Before entering the reservoir assembly, the refrigerant will be filtered by the filter screen 3, which can remove impurities and particles in the refrigerant to ensure the purity of the refrigerant. This helps to improve the efficiency and stability of the refrigeration system.
[0056] The inner wall of the cylinder assembly 4 is inserted with a drying bag 8, which is used to absorb and remove moisture and humidity in the refrigerant, keeping the refrigerant dry. This is crucial to prevent icing, corrosion and efficiency loss inside the refrigeration system.
[0057] The inner wall of the inlet and outlet joint 1 is fixedly connected with the first O-shaped sealing ring 5 and the second O-shaped sealing ring 6 on one side and the other side respectively, providing additional sealing effect. The welding ring 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the inlet and outlet joint 1 near the cylinder assembly 4, which is used to enhance the connection strength between the inlet and outlet joint 1 and the cylinder assembly 4, and improve the overall stability. The upper plug cap 10 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the cylinder assembly 4, which is used to close the other end of the cylinder assembly to prevent liquid leakage and maintain the stability of the internal pressure of the reservoir.
[0058] The connecting bracket 9 is made of three-millimeter aluminum plate, which provides stable support and facilitates the installation and fixation of the reservoir assembly in the appropriate position of the refrigeration system. The plug cap 2 is inserted into the inner wall of the inlet and outlet joint 1 for sealing the inlet and outlet joint, and its design allows the drying bag 8 to be easily removed and replaced, reducing the maintenance cost and time.
[0059] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
