Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts transportation protection, in particular to a kind of transportation plug cover for automobile air conditioning pipeline joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the automobile thermal management system, the gas-liquid separator in the thermal management integrated module is often equipped with desiccant particles to maintain a dry environment and ensure normal operation of the system. However, the exposed interface of the automobile air conditioning pipeline joint is easily contaminated by dust and water stains during transportation, and humid air may also enter. Once the humid air contacts the desiccant particles in the gas-liquid separator, it will saturate the desiccant particles, reducing their service life and affecting the performance of the gas-liquid separator and even the entire thermal management system.

[0003] In existing transportation protection measures, ordinary plastic plugs are widely used, but they have many defects and cannot effectively prevent water vapor. In terms of material properties, ordinary plastic has water absorption, and the performance of some plastics changes after absorbing water. The molecular chain gap allows water vapor to diffuse and penetrate. In terms of structural design, simple flat sealing is used without a dedicated sealing structure, which cannot fill the gaps and is easily deformed by temperature and pressure, creating new water vapor channels. In terms of processing technology, injection molding can produce defects such as air holes and weld marks, and the surface is uneven, providing conditions for water vapor penetration and adhesion, which cannot meet the transportation protection needs of automobile air conditioning pipeline joints. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a transportation plug cover for automobile air conditioning pipeline joints.

[0005] The transportation plug cover for automobile air conditioning pipeline joints of the utility model includes a main sealing part, which includes a limiting plane, a center connecting part, and a joint matching surface. The limiting plane is located on the top of the main sealing part, the center connecting part is installed inside the main sealing part, and the joint matching surface is located on the bottom of the main sealing part. During use, the center connecting part stably connects each part of the main sealing part into a whole, enhancing the structural strength and integrity of the main sealing part. During installation and use, the reliability of the plug cover is improved, the main sealing part is inserted into the interface, the joint matching surface contacts the automobile air conditioning pipeline joint, the shape of the joint matching surface accurately matches the shape of the joint, the outer dimensions can be adjusted according to different sizes of the joint, and the joint can be tightly fitted during installation, achieving good sealing and positioning effects and ensuring stable connection between the transportation plug cover and the pipeline joint.

[0006] Preferably, the main sealing part further comprises an annular sealing flange, and the annular sealing flange is arranged outside the joint matching surface; when the main sealing part is inserted into the pipeline joint, the annular sealing flange is deformed by extrusion and tightly fits the inner wall of the joint, and the annular sealing flange and the joint matching surface form a sealed waterproof structure, effectively preventing moisture, dust, water vapor and other impurities from entering, preventing the drying agent particles in the heat management integrated module gas-liquid separator from absorbing water, and prolonging the service life.

[0007] Preferably, the main sealing part further comprises a guide angle, and the main sealing part is provided with an annular sealing flange at the bottom; the design of the guide angle enables the main sealing part to be more smoothly aligned and inserted into the automobile air conditioner pipeline joint interface when the transportation plug cover is installed, and the guide angle plays a guiding role, reduces the resistance in the insertion process, avoids installation difficulties caused by misoperation or misalignment of the interface and the plug cover, and improves the convenience and accuracy of installation.

[0008] Preferably, the plug cover body further comprises an auxiliary operation part, which is connected outside the main sealing part and has a flat strip shape; when the transportation plug cover is disassembled, the operator can easily pull out the transportation plug cover from the pipeline joint by grasping the auxiliary operation part and applying force, and the operation is convenient; the flat design of the auxiliary operation part does not occupy too much space during transportation and is not easy to interfere with other parts.

[0009] Preferably, the plug cover body is made of rubber material.

[0010] Preferably, the main sealing part, the auxiliary operation part, the limiting plane, the annular sealing flange, the center connecting part, the joint matching surface and the guide angle are integrally formed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: in use, the center connecting part stably connects each part of the main sealing part into a whole, enhances the structural strength and integrity of the main sealing part, ensures the cooperative work of each part of the main sealing part during installation and use, improves the reliability of the plug cover, the main sealing part is inserted into the interface, the joint matching surface contacts the automobile air conditioner pipeline joint, the shape of the joint matching surface is accurately matched with the shape of the joint, the outer dimension can be adjusted according to the joints of different sizes, the joint matching surface can be tightly fitted during installation, good sealing and positioning effects are achieved, and the stable connection between the transportation plug cover and the pipeline joint is ensured.
