[0036] Embodiment one

[0037] The embodiment provides a surface cooler pipe fixing structure, which can avoid the contact between the pipe 200 and the frame body 10, prevent the pipe 200 from being abraded and thinned during long-term operation, and prolong the service life of the pipe 200, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface cooler pipe fixing structure includes a frame body 10 and a pipe sleeve assembly 20. The frame body 10 is provided with a through hole 11 corresponding to the pipe 200. Specifically, the frame body 10 is a plate member, and a plurality of plate members enclose the internal heat exchange device of the surface cooler. The frame body 10 can not only bear the internal heat exchange device of the surface cooler, but also protect the internal device. The pipe sleeve assembly 20 includes a pipe sleeve 21, a first limiting member 22 and a second limiting member 23. At least part of the pipe 200 is embedded in the through hole 11. The first limiting member 22 and the second limiting member 23 are connected with the pipe sleeve 21. The first limiting member 22 can abut against one side end face of the through hole 11, and the second limiting member 23 can abut against the other side end face of the through hole 11. The pipe 200 is inserted into the pipe sleeve 21 in an interference manner, so that the pipe 200 is fixed in the axial direction by the pipe sleeve 21.

[0038] The above-described surface condenser pipe fixing structure sets a sleeve 21 on the through hole 11 of the plate, and the sleeve 21 is fixed on the frame 10 through a first limiting piece 22 and a second limiting piece 23. When the pipe 200 is installed, the pipe 200 is inserted into the sleeve 21. Since the pipe 200 is installed in the sleeve 21 with interference, the pipe 200 is fixed by the sleeve 21. Thus, when the surface condenser works and vibrates, the pipe 200 contacts the sleeve 21, avoiding direct contact with the frame 10, and further avoiding abrasion of the pipe 200, thereby prolonging the service life of the pipe 200.

[0039] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The sleeve 21 includes a smooth part 211 and a threaded part 212, the second limiting piece 23 is annular and protrudes from the circumferential side of the smooth part 211 and is spaced apart from the threaded part 212, and the first limiting piece 22 is threadedly connected with the threaded part 212. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the installation of the sleeve 21 is facilitated, that is, during installation, the sleeve 21 is first inserted into the through hole 11, the second limiting piece 23 is abutted to one end face of the through hole 11, and then the first limiting piece 22 is connected with the threaded part 212 in place until it is abutted to the other end face of the through hole 11.

[0040] Optionally, the second limiting piece 23 is integrally formed with the sleeve 21, which facilitates the abutment of the second limiting piece 23 to one end face of the through hole 11 during the installation of the sleeve 21. In other embodiments, the second limiting piece 23 can also be detachably arranged with the sleeve 21, which is not limited herein.

[0041] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The cross section of the second limiting piece 23 is a right triangle, one of the right angles of the right triangle is in contact with the circumferential surface of the smooth part 211, and the other right angle can abut the end face of the through hole 11. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the good adhesion of the second limiting piece 23 when abutting to the end face of the through hole 11 can be ensured, and the good limiting strength can be ensured.

[0042] Optionally, the threaded part 212 is arranged with equal diameter in the axial direction, and an anti-skid structure is arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve 21 to enable the pipe 200 to be installed in the sleeve 21 with interference. That is, the interference installation of the pipe 200 and the sleeve 21 is realized through the anti-skid structure on the inner wall of the sleeve 21, avoiding axial movement of the pipe 200 in the sleeve 21.

[0043] Optionally, the anti-skid structure can be a structure such as a pattern or a protrusion, which is not limited herein.

[0044] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the second limiting member 23 is arranged at a position away from the end of the smooth part 211. It can be understood that there is still part of the smooth part 211 on the side of the second limiting member 23 away from the first limiting member 22, so as to assist in supporting the part of the pipe 200 extending out of the frame 10, and improve the supporting strength of the pipe sleeve 21 on the pipe 200.

[0045] Optionally, the pipe sleeve 21 is made of wear-resistant engineering plastic or wear-resistant rubber. The above materials have certain strength, and the hardness of the wear-resistant engineering plastic or wear-resistant rubber material is lower than that of the copper material of the pipe 200, so as not to cause wear of the copper material of the pipe 200, and the hardness can ensure good support of the pipe 200.

[0046] The embodiment also provides a surface air cooler, which comprises the surface air cooler pipe fixing structure and the pipe 200 arranged through the hole 11. By adopting the surface air cooler pipe fixing structure, the pipe 200 is not in direct contact with the frame 10 when fixed, so as to reduce the risk of breakage of the pipe 200 due to wear, and prolong the service life of the surface air cooler.

[0047] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 The pipe 200 comprises a straight pipe 210 for heat exchange and an elbow pipe 220 connected with the straight pipe 210 and arranged outside the frame 10. The first limiting member 22 is threadedly connected with the pipe sleeve 21, and the first limiting member 22 is located outside the straight pipe 210. By arranging the first limiting member 22 on one side of the straight pipe 210, the length of the threaded part 212 can be set to be longer, and the length of the threaded part 212 is increased. It can be understood that, if the first limiting member 22 is arranged on one side of the elbow pipe 220, the length of the threaded part 212 is limited, and even the length of the threaded part 212 cannot be ensured to be greater than the size of the first limiting member 22 in the axial direction, which is not conducive to the stable connection of the first limiting member 22 and the threaded part 212, and increases the risk of disconnection of the first limiting member 22 and the threaded part 212.

[0048] Optionally, in order to ensure the connection stability of the first limiting member 22 and the threaded part 212, a gasket or other structure can be arranged between the first limiting member 22 and the frame 10 to increase the friction.

[0049] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The elbow pipe 220 in the above figure shows a shorter straight part of the elbow pipe 220, and the elbow pipe 220 is arranged outside the space surrounded by the frames 10. In addition to the figure, the elbow pipe 220 is bent.

[0050] Embodiment two

[0051] The structure of the embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the same parts will not be described again. The difference lies in that, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the outer diameter of the threaded portion 212 gradually increases from its free end to the end near the second limiting member 23. The threaded portion 212 is formed by at least two arc-shaped portions 2121, with adjacent arc-shaped portions 2121 spaced apart. The first limiting member 22 is threadedly connected to at least two arc-shaped portions 2121 simultaneously. The internal thread of the first limiting member 22 is a constant diameter thread, and the maximum outer diameter of the threaded portion 212 is greater than the diameter of the internal thread of the first limiting member 22. With the above configuration, the inside of the sleeve 21 does not need to be provided with an anti-slip structure, and the first limiting member 22 allows the sleeve to be closed from the inside. Figure 3 As the pipe is gradually screwed from the left end to the right, the outer diameter of the right end is larger, while the inner diameter of the thread of the first limiting member 22 remains unchanged. As it moves to the right, the first limiting member 22 forces at least two arc-shaped portions 2121 to move closer to the axis, thereby tightening the pipe fitting 200 and forming an interference fit. This structure is more reliable than the anti-slip structure.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, four arc-shaped portions 2121 are provided, and the four arc-shaped portions 2121 have the same shape. In other embodiments, the number of arc-shaped portions 2121 may be two, three or more, which is not limited here.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
