[0002] The vehicle air conditioning system is used to regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality inside the vehicle to ensure driving comfort. It consists of: a compressor to compress the refrigerant and circulate it in the system; a condenser to dissipate heat and cool the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state; a receiver-drier to store the refrigerant, filter impurities, and absorb moisture; an expansion valve to regulate the refrigerant flow and reduce its pressure and temperature; an evaporator to absorb heat from the vehicle interior, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and lower the interior temperature; and a blower to blow cool air into the vehicle.
[0003] The high-pressure liquid receiver tank of the vehicle air conditioner is an important component of the automotive air conditioning system. It is mainly used to store refrigerant and plays a role in gas-liquid separation, filtering impurities, and buffering pressure fluctuations.
[0004] When a fault occurs inside the reservoir or the desiccant needs to be replaced, the entire reservoir needs to be removed from the vehicle for repair or replacement and then reinstalled. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. If a one-piece reservoir is partially damaged, the entire reservoir often needs to be replaced, increasing maintenance costs. To address this, we have designed a vehicle air conditioning high-pressure reservoir to provide an alternative technical solution to the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-7 A vehicle-mounted air conditioning high-pressure liquid storage tank includes a liquid storage tank body, which includes a first tank body 1 and a second tank body 2. The second tank body 2 is located at the bottom of the first tank body 1. A refrigerant charging pipe 3 is provided at one end of the top of the first tank body 1, a gas inlet pipe 4 is provided at the other end of the top of the first tank body 1, a gas outlet pipe 5 is provided at the top of the first tank body 1, and a connecting mechanism for connecting the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2 is provided at the top of the second tank body 2.
[0027] The top and bottom of the second tank 2 are equipped with circular filter screens 8. A desiccant 9 is placed between the two circular filter screens 8 and inside the second tank 2. A vertical connecting pipe 10 is provided on the outside of the bottom of the gas outlet pipe 5. The vertical connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the circular filter screens 8 and to the desiccant 9. The circular filter screens 8 and the desiccant 9 are used to filter the gas and prevent particles in the gas from affecting the operation of the vehicle air conditioner.
[0028] The connecting mechanism includes a circular connecting ring 6. The top of the second tank 2 is fixed with a circular connecting ring 6. A circular rotating ring 7 is provided on the top of the circular connecting ring 6. The outer side of the first tank 1 is provided with an external thread. The inner side of the circular rotating ring 7 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread. The outer side of the first tank 1 is also provided with a limiting mechanism for restricting the rotation of the circular rotating ring 7. Through the provision of the internal and external threads, the circular rotating ring 7 can be threadedly connected to the outer side of the first tank 1.
[0029] A T-shaped rotating ring 14 is fixed to the bottom of the circular rotating ring 7. A T-shaped rotating groove is opened inside the circular connecting ring 6. The T-shaped rotating ring 14 is located inside the T-shaped rotating groove and is rotatably connected to the circular connecting ring 6 through the T-shaped rotating groove, so that the circular rotating ring 7 can rotate on the top of the circular connecting ring 6.
[0030] Multiple vertical sliders are fixed on the outside of the first tank 1, and a vertical groove is provided inside the circular connecting ring 6. The first tank 1 and the circular connecting ring 6 are slidably connected by the cooperation of the vertical sliders and the vertical groove. By setting the vertical sliders and the vertical groove, the circular connecting ring 6 can slide on the outside of the first tank 1, thereby guiding the second tank 2 to move toward the first tank 1.
[0031] The circular connecting ring 6 has an embedded groove that fits the first tank 1 inside. The embedded groove also has a circular sealing ring 13 for improving the sealing performance. The circular sealing ring 13 improves the sealing performance between the circular connecting ring 6 and the first tank 1, preventing gas leakage between the circular connecting ring 6 and the first tank 1.
[0032] Here, when the second tank 2 needs to be connected to the first tank 1, the circular connecting ring 6 can move toward the first tank 1. By rotating the circular rotating ring 7, the T-shaped rotating ring 14 can rotate inside the circular connecting ring 6. The rotation of the circular rotating ring 7, through the setting of internal and external threads, allows the circular connecting ring 6 to slide on the outside of the second tank 2. When the first tank 1 enters the interior of the circular connecting ring 6, the setting of the circular sealing ring 13 can improve the sealing performance between the first tank 1 and the second tank 2, preventing air leakage between the first tank 1 and the second tank 2.
[0033] The limiting mechanism includes a circular support ring 12, which is fixed to the outside of the first tank body 1. A circular lifting ring 11 is provided at the bottom of the circular support ring 12. Multiple vertical rigid springs 15 are evenly distributed between the circular support ring 12 and the circular lifting ring 11. Multiple vertical limiting posts 16 are evenly distributed and fixed at the bottom of the circular lifting ring 11.
[0034] The circular lifting ring 11 has a circular through groove inside. The circular lifting ring 11 is slidably connected to the first tank 1 through the circular through groove. The circular through groove allows the circular lifting ring 11 to be slidably connected to the outside of the first tank 1. The sliding of the circular lifting ring 11 causes the vertical rigid spring 15 to be compressed by force.
[0035] The circular rotating ring 7 has a circular limiting groove inside. The vertical limiting post 16 is located inside the circular limiting groove and is in clearance fit with the circular rotating ring 7 through the circular limiting groove. By setting the circular limiting groove, the rotation of the circular rotating ring 7 outside the first tank body 1 can be restricted, thereby locking the rotation of the circular rotating ring 7 to prevent the circular rotating ring 7 from rotating during normal operation.
[0036] Here, when it is necessary to connect the second tank 2 to the first tank 1, the circular lifting ring 11 is first pushed upward. The pushing of the circular lifting ring 11 causes the vertical rigid spring 15 to contract under force, allowing the vertical limiting post 16 to slide inside the circular rotating ring 7. When the vertical limiting post 16 can move out of the interior of the circular rotating ring 7, the vertical limiting post 16 releases its restriction on the circular rotating ring 7, allowing the circular rotating ring 7 to rotate. Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble the second tank 2, the circular lifting ring 11 is pushed upward so that the circular rotating ring 7 can rotate.
[0037] Through a series of designs, the first tank 1 and the second tank 2 can be easily disassembled, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the desiccant 9 inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 2. When there is partial damage, only the corresponding parts need to be replaced, without replacing the whole tank, which reduces maintenance costs. The limiting mechanism can effectively prevent the circular rotating ring 7 from rotating, thereby facilitating the detachment of the first tank 1 and the second tank 2 and improving the reliability of the connection.
[0038] Working principle: When the second tank 2 needs to be connected to the first tank 1, the circular lifting ring 11 is first pushed upward. The pushing of the circular lifting ring 11 causes the vertical rigid spring 15 to contract under force, allowing the vertical limiting post 16 to slide inside the circular rotating ring 7. When the vertical limiting post 16 can move out of the interior of the circular rotating ring 7, the vertical limiting post 16 releases its restriction on the circular rotating ring 7, allowing the circular rotating ring 7 to rotate. Similarly, when the second tank 2 needs to be disassembled, the circular lifting ring 11 is pushed upward so that the circular rotating ring 7 can rotate.
[0039] When the second tank 2 needs to be connected to the first tank 1, the circular connecting ring 6 can move toward the first tank 1. By rotating the circular rotating ring 7, the T-shaped rotating ring 14 can rotate inside the circular connecting ring 6. The rotation of the circular rotating ring 7, through the setting of internal and external threads, allows the circular connecting ring 6 to slide on the outside of the second tank 2. When the first tank 1 enters the interior of the circular connecting ring 6, the setting of the circular sealing ring 13 can improve the sealing performance between the first tank 1 and the second tank 2, preventing air leakage between the first tank 1 and the second tank 2.
[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
