[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Example
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a refrigerant charging device, including an input connector 1 connected to a refrigerant storage tank, an output connector 4 connected to the main unit of the equipment, a conduit 2 connecting the input connector 1 and the output connector 4, a three-way valve 5 connected to the conduit 2, and a pressure gauge 3 connected to the three-way valve 5.
[0032] Input connector 1 is equipped with a rotary switch 11;
[0033] The output connector 4 is a nested structure of a rotary connector 41 and a fixed connector 42. The fixed connector 42 is inserted into the inner wall of the conduit 2. A fixing ring 43 is sleeved on the outer side of the connection section between the conduit 2 and the fixed connector 42. The fixing ring 43 pressurizes the conduit 2 to make it more tightly connected to the fixed connector 42. The other end of the fixed connector 42 is connected to the rotary connector 41. The front end of the rotary connector 41 is provided with a thread 44 and a protrusion 45 that connects to the main unit of the equipment. An air passage 46 is provided on the inner side of the rotary connector 41 and the fixed connector 42, which extends to both sides of the protrusion 45 and communicates with the outside. The air passage 46 is connected to the conduit 2.
[0034] Rotary switch 11 control: The rotary switch 11 set in the input connector 1 can easily control the connection or disconnection between the refrigerant storage tank and the conduit 2. During refrigerant charging operations, the connection between the refrigerant storage tank and the refrigerant charging tool can be accurately opened or closed, preventing refrigerant leakage at inappropriate times and improving the safety and controllability of the refrigerant charging operation.
[0035] The design of the rotary joint 41 ensures stability when the refrigerant charging tool is connected to the main unit of the equipment. Operators can rotate the rotary joint 41 to adjust its angle according to actual connection requirements, thereby improving the success rate of the connection and facilitating better alignment with the interface on the main unit.
[0036] The fixed joint 42 is inserted into the inner wall of the conduit 2, and the fixed ring 43 on the outside is pressed to make the conduit 2 and the fixed joint 42 more closely connected, effectively preventing the leakage of refrigerant from the connection between the conduit 2 and the fixed joint 42 during transmission, and ensuring the sealing and stability of the refrigerant filling process.
[0037] The threads 44 and the protruding blocks 45 at the front end of the rotary joint 41 facilitate secure connection with the device host. The threads 44 provide better sealing and connection strength, and the protruding blocks 45 are used to lift the valve of the device host connection port to make the gas path connected, further ensuring the smooth progress of the refrigerant filling operation.
[0038] The air duct 46 inside the rotary joint 41 and the fixed joint 42 is connected to the outside through the protruding blocks 45 on both sides and is connected to the conduit 2, which ensures that the refrigerant can be smoothly transmitted from the conduit 2 to the device host.
[0039] The cooperation of the three-way valve 5 and the pressure gauge 3 connected to the conduit 2 can realize the observation of the flow direction and flow rate of the refrigerant. During the refrigerant filling process, the flow rate of the refrigerant can be observed to adapt to the refrigerant filling needs of different device hosts, and the pressure gauge 3 can display the pressure in real time during the refrigerant filling process. The operator can accurately grasp the pressure state of the refrigerant filling according to the reading of the pressure gauge 3, avoid damage to the device host caused by excessive or insufficient pressure, and ensure that the refrigerant filling operation is carried out in a safe and appropriate pressure range.
[0040] The conduit 2 serves as a channel connecting the input connector 1 and the output connector 4, providing a path for the transmission of refrigerant, enabling the entire refrigerant filling tool to form a complete refrigerant transmission system, and safely and effectively transporting the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage tank to the device host.
[0041] Among them, the conduit 2 is a transparent flexible tube.
[0042] During the refrigerant filling operation, the operator can directly observe the flow of the refrigerant in the conduit 2 through the transparent flexible tube. It can be clearly seen whether the refrigerant is flowing normally, the speed of the flow, etc. If the refrigerant flow is not smooth, it may mean that the conduit 2 is blocked or has other problems, and the operator can discover and take appropriate measures in time.
[0043] The transparent flexible tube allows the operator to directly observe whether there are signs of refrigerant leakage in the conduit 2. If there is leakage somewhere in the conduit 2, it will show signs of refrigerant escaping on the transparent flexible tube, such as mist, bubbles, etc. Once the leakage is found, the operator can immediately stop the refrigerant filling operation, check and repair the leakage point, prevent further leakage of the refrigerant, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the refrigerant filling operation.
[0044] During long-term use, impurities may accumulate in the conduit 2. The transparent hose facilitates the operator to observe whether there are impurities in the conduit 2, and the type and distribution of the impurities. If the impurities are too much, they may affect the flow and quality of the refrigerant, and the operator can clean or replace the conduit 2 according to the situation. Timely discovery and treatment of problems in the conduit 2, such as leakage and blockage, can avoid damage to the host equipment caused by these problems. The transparent hose helps to ensure that the refrigerant filling operation is carried out in a safe and reliable manner, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the host equipment.
[0045] Referring to Figure 3 , the fixed joint 42 is provided with a three-section integrally formed sealing ring 47.
[0046] The three-section integrally formed sealing ring 47 forms a multi-layer sealing structure. Each section of the sealing ring 47 can block the leakage of refrigerant to a certain extent, and the multi-layer sealing cooperates with each other to greatly increase the reliability of the sealing. Even if one of the layers has a slight risk of leakage, the other layers can continue to play a sealing role, effectively preventing refrigerant from leaking from the connection between the fixed joint 42 and the conduit 2 to the outside environment.
[0047] The presence of the sealing ring 47 increases the friction between the fixed joint 42 and the conduit 2. The three-section sealing ring 47 is in close contact with the inner wall of the conduit 2, making the fixed joint 42 more stable in the conduit 2 and less likely to loosen. During the refrigerant filling process, the vibration or movement of the equipment may cause the connection to loosen, and the friction of the sealing ring 47 can effectively prevent this from happening, ensuring the continuity and stability of the refrigerant filling operation.
[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the upper end of the input connector 1 is connected with a swivel joint elbow, and the other end of the elbow is connected with the inner side of the conduit 2.
[0049] In actual refrigerant filling operations, the installation space of the refrigerant filling tool may be limited, such as the presence of other components or obstacles around the equipment, preventing the refrigerant storage tank from being directly connected with the input connector 1 in a straight line. The swivel joint elbow can adjust the angle according to the actual situation, allowing the refrigerant storage tank to be connected with the input connector 1 at a suitable angle, avoiding the refrigerant filling operation due to space limitations.
[0050] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the outer side of the section of the conduit 2 connected with the elbow is provided with a fixing ring 43, which pressurizes the conduit 2 to make it more closely connected with the elbow.
[0051] During the refrigerant filling process, the fixed ring 43 pressurizes the conduit 2, so that the contact between the conduit 2 and the elbow is more closely, the gap between them is reduced, thereby effectively preventing the refrigerant leakage, and the good sealing performance can ensure the pressure stability in the refrigerant filling system.
[0052] During the refrigerant filling operation, the refrigerant filling tool can be subjected to external forces such as vibration, pulling, etc., which can cause the connection between the conduit 2 and the elbow to be loose. The pressurization of the fixed ring 43 to the conduit 2 increases the friction between the conduit 2 and the elbow, so that the connection between them is more firm, which can resist the interference of external force and prevent the connection from being loose.
[0053] In addition, it should be emphasized that the refrigerant filling device can also be used for filling the tire repair liquid.
[0054] The operation steps of the embodiment of the present application are as follows:
[0055] Step one: check the tool and equipment
[0056] Carefully check the refrigerant filling tool, including whether the input connector 1, the output connector 4, the conduit 2, the three-way valve 5, the pressure gauge 3 and other components are intact, to ensure that there is no leakage and no damage.
[0057] Check the appearance of the refrigerant storage tank, confirm that there is no deformation and no damage, and check whether the valve on the refrigerant storage tank can be normally opened and closed.
[0058] Check the equipment host, ensure that the access point is clean, free of debris, and in a suitable state for refrigerant filling.
[0059] Step two: connect the equipment
[0060] Confirm that the rotary switch 11 at the input connector 1 is in the closed state, and close the valve on the refrigerant storage tank to prevent refrigerant leakage during the connection process.
[0061] Wipe the outlet of the refrigerant storage tank and the inlet of the input connector 1 with a clean cloth to remove dust, oil stains and other impurities, and ensure that the connection part is clean.
[0062] Align the outlet of the refrigerant storage tank with the inlet of the input connector 1, and slowly insert it to ensure that the connection is tight. If the input connector 1 has a thread 44 design, rotate the refrigerant storage tank according to the direction of the thread 44, so that it is firmly connected with the input connector 1.
[0063] Place the output connector 4 (rotary joint) of the refrigerant filling tool close to the access point of the equipment host, and carefully observe to ensure that the front thread 44 and the protruding block 45 of the rotary joint match the access point of the equipment host.
[0064] Align the front end of the swivel joint with the access point of the equipment host, then slowly rotate the swivel joint in the direction of the threads 44, screwing it into the equipment host. During the screwing process, keep the swivel joint stable to avoid tilting and ensure a tight connection.
[0065] After the screwing is complete, gently shake the refrigerant charging tool to check whether the connection between the swivel joint and the equipment host is firm, ensuring that there is no looseness.
[0066] Step Three: Refrigerant Charging
[0067] Confirm that the connection between the conduit 2, three-way valve 5, pressure gauge 3, and other components is normal, and that the air passage 46 is unobstructed. You can preliminarily determine whether the air passage 46 is connected by observing whether the needle of the pressure gauge 3 has a slight fluctuation (at this time, due to the valve being closed, the fluctuation should be very small).
[0068] Slowly rotate the swivel switch 11 of the input connection head 1 to the open state. At this time, the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage tank will pass through the input connection head 1, conduit 2, three-way valve 5, etc., through the air passage 46 connected by the swivel joint and the equipment host, and enter the equipment host.
[0069] Closely observe the reading of the pressure gauge 3 and observe the pressure change of the refrigerant to ensure that the refrigerant charging pressure is within the required range of the equipment host.
[0070] Pay attention to the operation of the equipment host. If there are abnormalities such as sudden pressure rise or drop, abnormal noise of the equipment, etc., immediately close the swivel switch 11, stop the refrigerant charging, and check the cause.
[0071] According to the refrigerant charging requirements of the equipment host and the reading of the pressure gauge 3, adjust the opening of the swivel switch 11 in a timely manner to control the flow of refrigerant and avoid excessive refrigerant charging. When the required refrigerant charging amount of the equipment host is reached, close the swivel switch 11 in time.
[0072] Step Four: Remove the Tool
[0073] First, close the valve on the refrigerant storage tank, then close the swivel switch 11 of the input connection head 1 to prevent the refrigerant from continuing to leak.
[0074] Carefully unscrew the swivel joint from the equipment host, then detach the refrigerant storage tank from the input connection head 1.
[0075] Wipe the refrigerant charging tool and the equipment host with a clean cloth to remove residual refrigerant and impurities for next use.
