Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning pipe connection, and in particular to a side plate connection structure and the condenser and air conditioner formed therefrom. Background Technology
[0002] In air conditioning systems, the air conditioning pipes need to be fixedly connected to the condenser side plate to ensure that the refrigerant in the air conditioning pipes circulates for heat exchange within the condenser. In existing technologies, the condenser side plate often uses a flanged hole structure (10) to connect to the air conditioning pipes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, due to the unique fit between the flanged hole 10 and the air conditioning pipe 15, the air conditioning pipe 15 will expand and contract due to temperature changes, vibrations, and other factors during the transportation and operation of the air conditioner. The flanged hole 10 exerts a significant constraint on the air conditioning pipe 15, resulting in substantial stress at the interface between the air conditioning pipe 15 and the condenser side plate 12. This stress can lead to substandard stress in the air conditioning pipe, and over time, it can cause fatigue damage, greatly increasing the risk of pipe breakage. This seriously affects the normal operation and service life of the air conditioning system, increasing maintenance costs and user risks.
[0003] Therefore, while the existing technology of forming a flange by curling the edge of the flanged hole can provide support, it has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Stress concentration: The flanged hole is in rigid contact with the air conditioning pipe, which leads to local stress concentration. Long-term operation can easily cause fatigue fracture of the air conditioning pipe.
[0005] 2. High assembly precision requirements: The machining precision of the flanged holes directly affects the installation effect of the air conditioning pipes, and the air conditioning pipes are prone to misalignment due to the accumulation of tolerances.
[0006] 3. Vibration transmission: The flanged holes lack buffering, and the vibration is directly transmitted to the air conditioning pipes when the air conditioner is running, which aggravates the stress problem.
[0007] Existing improvement solutions attempt to alleviate stress by modifying the air conditioning duct structure or adding auxiliary materials, but they do not address the root cause of the problem. Therefore, a new edge plate structure is urgently needed to solve these issues. Utility Model Content
[0008] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a side plate connection structure. The buffer component can buffer the force on the pipeline, while limiting and protecting the pipeline connection, eliminating the stress on the pipeline caused by the through hole, avoiding the risk of pipeline breakage due to unqualified stress at the pipeline connection, and improving the service life and performance stability of the pipeline.
[0009] A side plate connection structure for connecting a pipe and a side plate includes a side plate and a through hole disposed in the side plate, wherein the inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe; a buffer assembly is filled between the through hole and the pipe.
[0010] In this application, the inner diameter of the through-hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, and a buffer component is filled between the through-hole and the pipe. The buffer component is made of flexible material. During transportation, the buffer component can buffer the forces exerted on the pipe, while limiting and protecting the pipe connection, eliminating the stress of the through-hole on the pipe, avoiding the risk of pipe breakage due to unqualified stress at the pipe connection, and improving the service life and performance stability of the pipe. The connection structure of this application has the advantages of eliminating the risk of breakage, convenient assembly, and low cost, and is suitable for residential and commercial air conditioning outdoor units.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the inner surface of the via is frustum-shaped.
[0012] The frustum-shaped vias facilitate pipe passage. During actual assembly, since the outer diameter of the pipe is constant throughout, it can pass through the via with the larger opening, making installation easier. Simultaneously, the gradually changing inner diameter of the frustum-shaped via also provides guidance for pipe installation.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the angle between the centerline of the via and the sidewall of the via is 30°-60°.
[0014] At this angle, it can ensure that the area occupied by the via in the side plate is not too large, while providing better guidance for the installation of pipes and ensuring that the pipes can pass through the via smoothly, thus realizing the assembly of the side plate and the pipes.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a first fastening through hole is provided on the inner sidewall of the through hole, and a second fastening through hole is provided in the buffer assembly. The center lines of the first fastening through hole and the second fastening through hole coincide and are perpendicular to the center line of the through hole. Fastening assemblies are provided in the first fastening through hole and the second fastening through hole.
[0016] In this application, the fastening component penetrates through the first and second fastening through holes to fix and limit the position of the pipeline within the through hole. In actual operation, due to the long length of the pipeline and the thinness of the side plate, the pipeline is only connected to the side plate at specific locations. During transportation, relying solely on the buffer component to limit the pipeline is insufficient to prevent the pipeline from shifting relative to the side plate. Therefore, in addition to using the buffer component to clamp the pipeline, this application also uses the fastening component penetrating through the through hole and the buffer component to secure the pipeline, ensuring that the relative position of the pipeline and the side plate is fixed.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the inner diameter of the via is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the pipe.
[0018] In this application, a buffer assembly is required between the via and the pipe. Therefore, the inner diameter of the via must be larger than the outer diameter of the pipe. A 2mm difference is set between the two dimensions, meaning that the inner diameter of the via at any point on its cross-section is 2mm larger than the outer diameter of the pipe. This results in a cylindrical pipe, a frustum-shaped buffer assembly, and a frustum-shaped via. The thickness of the buffer assembly gradually changes along the pipe's extension direction. Since the buffer assembly is a single piece, stress on the pipe at different locations can be transferred to the buffer assembly. The 2mm thickness difference ensures that the buffer assembly at this thickness can effectively absorb and transfer stress from the pipe, preventing stress concentration at the point where the pipe and buffer assembly meet, thus eliminating the risk of short pipes due to stress concentration.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the side plate is provided with reinforcing ribs, which are located on the side of the through hole.
[0020] Radial reinforcing ribs, numbering 3 to 6, are added to the non-through-hole area of the edge plate to improve its resistance to deformation. Compared to the flanged holes in existing technologies, the through-holes have slightly lower hardness and rigidity. Therefore, this application improves the hardness and rigidity of both the through-holes and the edge plate by adding reinforcing ribs.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the through hole, and a limiting protrusion adapted to the limiting groove is provided at the end of the buffer assembly.
[0022] By using the matching groove and the matching protrusion, the through hole and the buffer component can be snapped together. Compared with welding and glue bonding, the mechanical snap-fit structure formed by the groove and the matching protrusion can ensure that the buffer component is firmly installed inside the through hole without additional processes and connecting materials.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, there are two limiting grooves, located at the top and bottom of the through hole respectively, and limiting protrusions are provided at the top and bottom of the buffer assembly respectively.
[0024] By simultaneously providing limiting protrusions at both the top and bottom of the buffer assembly, vertical movement of the buffer assembly within the through-hole can be effectively prevented. When the buffer assembly tends to move downwards, the upper limiting protrusion and limiting groove engage together to stop the downward movement. Similarly, when the buffer assembly tends to move upwards, the lower limiting protrusion and limiting groove engage together to stop the upward movement.
[0025] The second objective of this application is to provide a condenser, including a side plate connection structure as described above.
[0026] This application, through the cooperation of buffer components and through holes, can achieve the limiting and stress relief of air conditioning pipes, effectively solve the stress problem at the joint between air conditioning pipes and condenser side plate, eliminate the hidden danger of pipe breakage caused by unqualified air conditioning pipe stress, and improve the service life and operational stability of condenser.
[0027] The third objective of this application is to provide an air conditioner, including a condenser as described above.
[0028] This embodiment eliminates the risk of pipe breakage caused by substandard air conditioning pipe stress by relieving stress between the condenser side plate and the air conditioning pipes, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the air conditioner and reducing the assembly difficulty. In addition, the buffer component in this application can also absorb the vibration of the compressor and fan during air conditioner operation, reducing overall noise.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0030] This utility model provides a side plate connection structure, including a side plate and a through hole disposed in the side plate. The inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pipeline. A buffer assembly is filled between the through hole and the pipeline to achieve the connection between the pipeline and the side plate. In this application, the inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pipeline, and a buffer assembly is filled between the through hole and the pipeline. During transportation, the buffer assembly can buffer the forces exerted on the pipeline, while limiting and protecting the pipeline connection, eliminating the stress of the through hole on the pipeline, avoiding the risk of pipeline breakage due to unqualified stress at the pipeline connection, and improving the service life and performance stability of the pipeline.
[0031] This application also provides a condenser, including the side plate connection structure as described above. Through the cooperation of the buffer component and the through hole, the air conditioning pipe can be limited and stress is eliminated, which effectively solves the stress problem at the joint between the air conditioning pipe and the condenser side plate, eliminates the hidden danger of pipe breakage caused by unqualified stress in the air conditioning pipe, and improves the service life and operational stability of the condenser.
[0032] This application also provides an air conditioner, including the condenser as described above, which eliminates the risk of pipe breakage caused by unqualified stress in the air conditioning pipe by relieving the stress between the condenser side plate and the air conditioning pipe, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the air conditioner and reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner.

[0043] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0044] The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0045] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this invention to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this invention, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in the prior art, to achieve a stable connection between the side plate 12 and the pipe 15, a flanged hole 10 is provided in the side plate 12. The flanged hole 10 forms a flange through edge curling, which can provide support for the pipe 15, and the flanged structure can ensure the strength at the connection position between the side plate and the pipe. Due to the special nature of the fit between the flanged hole and the air conditioning pipe, the air conditioning pipe will expand and contract due to factors such as temperature changes and vibration during the transportation and operation of the air conditioner. The flanged hole 10 exerts a large constraint on the air conditioning pipe, resulting in large stress at the fit between the air conditioning pipe and the condenser side plate. This stress can lead to unqualified stress in the air conditioning pipe, and under long-term action, it can cause fatigue damage to the air conditioning pipe, greatly increasing the risk of pipe breakage, seriously affecting the normal operation and service life of the air conditioning system, increasing maintenance costs and user risks.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] like Figures 2-6 As shown, this application provides a side plate connection structure for connecting the pipe 15 and the side plate 12. It includes the side plate 12 and a through hole 13 disposed in the side plate 12. The inner diameter of the through hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. A buffer assembly 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15.
[0049] In this application, the inner diameter of the through hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, ensuring that the pipe 15 can freely pass through the through hole 13. At the same time, in order to achieve a stable connection between the pipe 15 and the through hole 13, a buffer assembly 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15. The buffer assembly 14 is used to wrap the pipe 15, ensuring a stable connection between the pipe and the side plate 12.
[0050] As a specific embodiment, in this application, the pipe 15 can first pass through the through hole 13. Since the outer diameter of the pipe 15 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 13, it can be ensured that the pipe 15 can move freely in the through hole 13, simplifying the assembly process. Then, the buffer assembly 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15. The buffer assembly 14 is a flexible structure, such as rubber or flexible resin. Specifically, it can be filled in the following ways: for example, the position of the pipe 15 is fixed and the buffer assembly 14 is inserted between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15; or the buffer assembly 14 is a whole, and a through hole is formed in the buffer assembly 14. The through hole is nested on the outside of the pipe 15, and the buffer assembly 14 is moved along the pipe 15 until the buffer assembly 14 moves between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15.
[0051] In another specific embodiment, the buffer assembly 14 can be fixed inside the through hole 13, with the outer diameter of the buffer assembly 14 being slightly larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 13. Since the buffer assembly 14 is a flexible structure, when the buffer assembly 14 is installed inside the through hole 13, the outer wall of the buffer assembly 14 is compressed to make the buffer assembly 14 and the through hole 13 fit together, thereby ensuring a stable engagement between the buffer assembly 14 and the through hole 13.
[0052] In this application, the outer diameter of the buffer assembly 14 can also be equal to the inner diameter of the through hole 13. In this case, the buffer assembly 14 and the through hole 13 can be assembled by snap-fit. A through hole for the pipe 15 to pass through is provided in the buffer assembly 14. When the outer diameter of the buffer assembly 14 is equal to the inner diameter of the through hole 13, the buffer assembly 14 and the through hole 13 can be fixed by glue or welding.
[0053] In this application, the buffer component 14 is made of a flexible material, specifically a ring-shaped component made of silicone rubber or polyurethane. Since the buffer component 14 has a through-hole for the passage of the pipe 15, and the pipe 15 is typically cylindrical, the buffer component 14 can be designed as a ring structure. The inner diameter of the buffer component 14, i.e., the inner diameter of the through-hole, can be equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe 15. When the inner diameter of the through-hole is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe 15, the pipe 15 passes through the through-hole in the buffer component 14 by compression of the flexible buffer component 14. When the buffer component 14 is subjected to pressure from the pipe 15 or the side plate 12, it can be compressed, thereby forming a wrapping and limiting effect on the pipe 15, preventing the pipe 15 from being unable to be fixed due to the inner diameter of the through-hole 13 being too large.
[0054] In this application, the buffer assembly 14 and the via 13 can be fixed together by soldering or gluing. When soldering, solder can be applied to the surfaces where the buffer assembly 14 and the via 13 contact each other, thus fixing them together. When using glue, glue can be applied to the surfaces where the buffer assembly 14 and the via 13 contact each other, thus fixing them together. When applying glue, it is necessary to ensure that the edges of the buffer assembly 14 and the via 13 are tightly fitted, ensuring that there are no air bubbles or gaps between them.
[0055] In this application, the inner diameter of the via 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. The via 13 has a high tolerance tolerance, and when assembling the pipe 15, it is not necessary to precisely align the center of the pipe 15 with the center of the via 13. Even if there is a slight deviation in their center lines, it can still ensure that the pipe 15 and the via 13 are assembled together. This also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the pipe 15 during later maintenance. During disassembly or replacement, simply removing the buffer assembly 14 allows the pipe 15 and the via 13 to be easily separated.
[0056] In this application, the side plate 12 is a flat plate structure made of metal, which has a certain strength and toughness and can withstand the installation force of the condenser and the pipe 15.
[0057] In this application, the inner diameter of the through hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15, and a buffer component 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15. During transportation, the buffer component 14 can buffer the force on the pipe 15, limit and protect the connection of the pipe 15, eliminate the stress of the through hole 13 on the pipe 15, avoid the risk of pipe breakage due to unqualified stress at the connection of the pipe 15, and improve the service life and performance stability of the pipe 15.
[0058] The connection structure of this application has the advantages of eliminating the risk of breakage, convenient assembly and low cost, and is suitable for household and commercial air conditioning outdoor units.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] like Figures 2-6 As shown, this application provides a side plate connection structure for connecting the pipe 15 and the side plate 12. It includes the side plate 12 and a through hole 13 disposed in the side plate 12. The inner diameter of the through hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. A buffer assembly 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15.
[0061] The inner surface of the through hole 13 is frustum-shaped. The frustum-shaped structure of the through hole 13 facilitates the passage of the pipe 15. In the actual assembly process, since the outer diameter of the pipe 15 is the same everywhere, the pipe 15 can pass through the through hole 13 with the larger opening, which facilitates the installation of the pipe 15. At the same time, the gradually changing inner diameter of the frustum-shaped through hole 13 can also provide guidance for the installation of the pipe 15.
[0062] The centerline of the through hole 13 forms an angle of 30°-60° with the side wall of the through hole 13. At this angle, it can be ensured that the area occupied by the through hole 13 in the side plate 12 is not too large, while providing better guidance for the installation of the pipe 15, and ensuring that the pipe 15 passes through the through hole 13 smoothly, so as to realize the assembly of the side plate 12 and the pipe 15.
[0063] The inner diameter of the via 13 is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. Specifically, in this application, a buffer assembly 14 needs to be filled between the via 13 and the pipe 15. Therefore, the inner diameter of the via 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. The 2 mm difference means that the inner diameter of the via 13 at any position on the cross-section of the via 13 is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. In this way, the pipe 15 has a cylindrical structure, and the buffer assembly 14 has a frustum-shaped structure. The thickness of the buffer assembly 14 gradually changes in the extension direction of the pipe 15. Since the buffer assembly 14 is an integral structure, the stress on the pipe 15 at different positions can be transferred to the buffer assembly 14. The 2 mm thickness difference ensures that the buffer assembly 14 at this thickness can effectively absorb and transfer the stress on the pipe 15, avoiding stress concentration at the contact point between the pipe 15 and the buffer assembly 14, and eliminating the risk of short pipes caused by stress concentration.
[0064] Furthermore, the outer wall of the through hole 13 described in this application is provided with a limiting groove, and the end of the buffer assembly 14 is provided with a limiting protrusion 141 adapted to the limiting groove. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion 141, the through hole 13 and the buffer assembly 14 can be snapped together. Compared with welding and glue bonding, the mechanical snap-fit structure formed by the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion 141 can ensure that the buffer assembly 14 is firmly installed inside the through hole 13 without additional processes and connecting materials.
[0065] In one specific embodiment, there are two limiting grooves, located at the top and bottom of the through hole 13, respectively, and limiting protrusions 141 are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the buffer assembly 14. The simultaneous provision of limiting protrusions 141 at both the top and bottom of the buffer assembly 14 effectively prevents the buffer assembly 14 from moving vertically within the through hole 13. When the buffer assembly 14 tends to move downwards, the upper limiting protrusion 141 engages with the limiting groove, preventing the buffer assembly 14 from moving downwards. Similarly, when the buffer assembly 14 tends to move upwards, the lower limiting protrusion 141 engages with the limiting groove, preventing the buffer assembly 14 from moving upwards.
[0066] As a specific embodiment, in this application, the pipeline 15 is a cylindrical structure, the through hole 13 is a cylindrical structure, and the buffer assembly 14 is an annular structure. Limiting protrusions 141 are designed on the outer sides of the top and bottom ends of the annular buffer assembly 14, and corresponding limiting grooves are provided in the side plate 12 on the outer side of the through hole 13. The limiting protrusions 141 at both ends of the buffer assembly 14 are symmetrically arranged, and the limiting grooves at both ends of the through hole 13 in the side plate 12 are also symmetrically arranged.
[0067] In another specific embodiment, the pipeline 15 in this application has a cylindrical structure, the through hole 13 has a frustum-shaped structure, and the buffer assembly 14 has an annular frustum-shaped structure. Limiting protrusions 141 are designed on the outer sides of the top and bottom ends of the buffer assembly 14, and corresponding limiting grooves are provided in the side plate 12 on the outer side of the through hole 13.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] like Figures 2-6 As shown, this application provides a side plate connection structure for connecting the pipe 15 and the side plate 12. It includes the side plate 12 and a through hole 13 disposed in the side plate 12. The inner diameter of the through hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. A buffer assembly 14 is filled between the through hole 13 and the pipe 15.
[0070] Furthermore, the inner wall of the through hole 13 is provided with a first fastening through hole, and the buffer assembly 14 is provided with a second fastening through hole. The center lines of the first fastening through hole and the second fastening through hole coincide and are perpendicular to the center line of the through hole 13. Fastening assemblies are provided in the first fastening through hole and the second fastening through hole.
[0071] In this application, the fastening component penetrates through the first and second fastening through holes to fix and limit the pipe 15 in the through hole 13. In actual operation, because the pipe 15 is very long and the side plate 12 is relatively thin, the pipe 15 is only connected to the side plate 12 at specific locations. During transportation, relying solely on the buffer component 14 to limit the pipe 15 is insufficient to prevent the pipe 15 from moving relative to the side plate 12. Therefore, in addition to using the buffer component 14 to snap the pipe 15 in place, this application also uses the fastening component penetrating through the through hole 13 and the buffer component 14 to fasten the pipe 15, ensuring that the relative positions of the pipe 15 and the side plate 12 are fixed.
[0072] The fastening assembly in this application specifically includes a positioning block 23 and a positioning bolt 22. The positioning block 23 is welded and fixed to the side of the first positioning through hole in the side plate 12. The positioning block 23 has a threaded hole. The positioning bolt 22 passes through the threaded hole, the first fastening through hole and the second fastening through hole, and abuts against the pipeline 15 to position the pipeline 15 and prevent the pipeline 15 from being excessively displaced during operation.
[0073] In this application, the positioning block 23 is welded to a suitable position in the side plate 12 near the through hole 13 to ensure the perpendicularity and flatness of the positioning block 23. Then, the positioning bolt 22 is screwed into the threaded hole of the positioning block 23. When installing the pipeline 15, the positioning bolt 22 is adjusted so that it abuts against the pipeline 15 to position the pipeline 15.
[0074] Furthermore, the side plate 12 described in this application is provided with reinforcing ribs 21, which are located on the side of the through hole 13. Specifically, radial reinforcing ribs 21 are added to the non-through hole 13 area of the side plate 12, with a specific number of 3 to 6, to improve the deformation resistance of the side plate 12. Compared with the flanged hole 10 in the prior art, the through hole 13 has slightly lower hardness and rigidity. Therefore, this application improves the hardness and rigidity of the through hole 13 and the side plate 12 by providing reinforcing ribs 21.
[0075] Example 4
[0076] like Figures 2-8 As shown, the present application provides a condenser including a side plate 12, condenser fins 11 and air conditioning pipes, wherein the air conditioning pipes and the side plate 12 are connected by the side plate connection structure as described in the above embodiment.
[0077] Specifically, the inner diameter of the through hole 13 is 2mm larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 15. The inner surface of the through hole 13 is frustum-shaped, and the angle between the center line of the through hole 13 and the side wall of the through hole 13 is 30°-60°. A limiting groove is provided on the outer side wall of the through hole 13, and a limiting protrusion 141 adapted to the limiting groove is provided at the end of the buffer assembly 14; there are two limiting grooves, located at the top and bottom ends of the through hole 13 respectively, and the top and bottom ends of the buffer assembly 14 are respectively provided with limiting protrusions 141.
[0078] A first fastening through hole is provided on the inner sidewall of the through hole 13, and a second fastening through hole is provided in the buffer assembly 14. The center lines of the first and second fastening through holes coincide and are perpendicular to the center line of the through hole 13. Fastening assemblies are provided in the first and second fastening through holes. The fastening assemblies specifically include a positioning block 23 and a positioning bolt 22. The positioning block 23 is welded and fixed to the side of the first positioning through hole in the side plate 12. The positioning block 23 has a threaded hole. The positioning bolt 22 passes through the threaded hole, the first fastening through hole, and the second fastening through hole, and abuts against the pipe 15 to position the air conditioning pipe and prevent excessive displacement of the air conditioning pipe during operation.
[0079] A reinforcing rib 21 is provided in the side plate 12, and the reinforcing rib 21 is located on the side of the through hole 13.
[0080] During the assembly of the air conditioning pipes and the side plate 12, a through hole 13 with a diameter 2mm larger than the outer diameter of the air conditioning pipes is first drilled in the side plate 12 to ensure that the accuracy and roughness of the through hole 13 meet the condenser production requirements. To improve the ease of installation of the air conditioning pipes, the cylindrical through hole 13 is expanded into a frustum-shaped through hole 13. Then, a limiting groove is formed on the side of the through hole 13; the limiting protrusion 141 in the buffer assembly 14 and the limiting groove on the side of the through hole 13 are assembled to realize the assembly of the buffer assembly 14 and the through hole 13. In this application, limiting protrusions 141 are provided at both the top and bottom of the buffer assembly 14, which can effectively prevent the buffer assembly 14 from moving up and down in the through hole 13. When the buffer assembly 14 has a downward tendency, the upper limiting protrusion 141 and the limiting groove are engaged together to stop the downward movement of the buffer assembly 14. Similarly, when the buffer assembly 14 has an upward tendency, the lower limiting protrusion 141 and the limiting groove engage together to prevent the buffer assembly 14 from moving upward.
[0081] Weld the positioning block 23 to a suitable position in the side plate 12 near the through hole 13, ensuring the verticality and flatness of the positioning block 23. Then screw the positioning bolt 22 into the threaded hole of the positioning block 23. When installing the air conditioning pipe, adjust the positioning bolt 22 so that it abuts against the air conditioning pipe to position the air conditioning pipe.
[0082] This application, through the cooperation of the buffer component 14 and the through hole 13, can achieve the limiting and stress relief of the air conditioning pipe, effectively solve the stress problem at the joint between the air conditioning pipe and the condenser side plate 12, eliminate the hidden danger of pipe breakage caused by unqualified stress of the air conditioning pipe, and improve the service life and operational stability of the condenser.
[0083] Example 5
[0084] like Figures 2-8 As shown, the air conditioner provided in this application includes the condenser in Embodiment 5.
[0085] This embodiment systematically solves the problems of stress concentration and fracture in air conditioning pipes by replacing the traditional flanged hole 10 with a through hole 13 and combining it with a buffer assembly 14 and a fastening assembly.
[0086] This embodiment eliminates the stress between the condenser side plate 12 and the air conditioning pipes, thus preventing pipe breakage caused by substandard air conditioning pipe stress, improving the reliability and stability of the air conditioner, and reducing the assembly difficulty. In addition, the buffer assembly 14 in this application can also absorb the vibration of the compressor and fan during air conditioner operation, reducing overall noise.
[0087] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0088] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0089] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0090] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
