Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle opener technology, and in particular to a refrigerant bottle opener. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerant is a working fluid that circulates in a refrigeration system, transferring heat through changes in its physical state (liquid to gas). It is the core working medium of refrigeration systems (such as refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, and heat pumps).

[0003] In the automotive industry, refrigerants are also needed. However, the current technology often involves manually opening the refrigerant bottle with tools and then pouring it into the car's refrigeration system. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the manual opening and filling process can easily lead to refrigerant leakage, causing unnecessary waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a refrigerant bottle opener.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A refrigerant bottle opener includes: a housing, an opening device mounted on the housing, a bottle breaker disposed on the opening device, and a flow channel hole connected to the bottle breaker; the flow channel hole is formed inside the housing and connected to a refrigeration unit via a pipe; the bottle breaker is used to place and secure a refrigerant bottle.

[0007] Preferably, the opening device includes a base, a fixed shaft mounted on the base, an opening member mounted on the fixed shaft, and a limiting member mounted on the opening member; the opening member is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft; the limiting member is rotatably connected to the opening member; and the opening device is mounted on the box body via the base.

[0008] Preferably, the bottle breaker includes a limiting nut, a fixed cylinder mounted on the limiting nut, and a ejector pin disposed inside the fixed cylinder; the fixed cylinder has an overflow hole; the bottle breaker is installed in the box body through the fixed cylinder, and the overflow hole is aligned with the flow channel hole; the bottle breaker is connected to the opening device through the ejector pin.

[0009] Preferably, the ejector pin includes an ejector rod, a needle head mounted on the ejector rod, and a flow groove formed on the needle head; the ejector pin is connected to the opening device through the ejector rod.

[0010] Preferably, the needle tip is beveled.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This invention simplifies the opening of refrigerant bottles. Simply invert the bottle and fix it to the bottle breaker. Press the opening device to break the bottle opening. The refrigerant then flows through the bottle breaker into the flow channel connected to it, and finally into the refrigeration unit through the pipe connected to the flow channel. This opening process is not only simple to operate, but also prevents refrigerant leakage and waste by ensuring the refrigerant flows into the refrigeration unit through the flow channel, as the bottle is inverted and fixed to the bottle breaker.

[0023] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a refrigerant bottle opener includes: a housing 10, an opening device 20 mounted on the housing 10, a bottle breaker 30 disposed on the opening device 20, and a flow channel hole 40 connected to the bottle breaker 30; the flow channel hole 40 is opened inside the housing 10 and connected to a refrigeration unit through a pipe; the bottle breaker 30 is used to place and fix the refrigerant bottle.

[0026] When operating the refrigerant bottle opener, first connect the refrigerant inlet of the refrigeration unit to the flow channel hole 40 on the housing 10 using a pipe. Then, invert the refrigerant bottle and fix it on the bottle breaker 30. Next, press the opening device 20. When the opening device 20 lifts the bottle breaker 30, the bottle breaker 30 breaks the bottle opening of the refrigerant bottle. The refrigerant flows from the bottle opening to the bottle breaker 30, then flows into the flow channel hole 40, and finally flows into the refrigeration unit through the pipe.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the opening device 20 includes a base 21, a fixed shaft 22 mounted on the base 21, an opening member 23 mounted on the fixed shaft 22, and a limiting member 24 mounted on the opening member 23; the opening member 23 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 22; the limiting member 24 is rotatably connected to the opening member 23; the opening device 20 is mounted on the box body 10 through the base 21.

[0028] The opening device 20 works by pressing the opening member 23. As the opening member 23 rotates and tilts upward with the fixed shaft 22, it lifts the bottle breaker 30. During this lifting process, the limiting member 24 flips on the opening member 23 under its own weight. After the opening member 23 is released, the limiting member 24 presses against the box body 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 This allows the refrigerant to flow smoothly from the bottle breaker 30 into the flow channel hole 40.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottle breaker 30 includes a limiting nut 31, a fixing cylinder 32 mounted on the limiting nut 31, and a push pin 33 disposed inside the fixing cylinder 32; the fixing cylinder 32 has an overflow hole 34; the bottle breaker 30 is installed inside the box body 10 through the fixing cylinder 32, and the overflow hole 34 is aligned with the flow channel hole 40; the bottle breaker 30 is connected to the opening device 20 through the push pin 33.

[0030] The bottle breaker 30 is connected to the opening member 23 in the opening device 20 via the ejector pin 33. When the opening member 23 is pressed, the opening member 23 pushes the ejector pin 33 out of the fixed cylinder 32 and causes the ejector pin 33 to puncture the bottle mouth of the refrigerant bottle, so that the bottle mouth is opened and the refrigerant can flow out smoothly.

[0031] The bottle breaker 30 places and fixes the refrigerant bottle through the limiting nut 31. The bottle mouth of the existing refrigerant bottle is generally a threaded opening, which can be threadedly connected with the limiting nut 31. This not only effectively fixes the refrigerant bottle, but also prevents the refrigerant from flowing out from the interface between the limiting nut 31 and the bottle to a certain extent.

[0032] When the refrigerant flows into the fixed cylinder 32, it flows into the flow channel hole 40 through the flow hole 34 on the fixed cylinder 32.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the ejector pin 33 includes an ejector rod 331, a needle 332 mounted on the ejector rod 331, and a flow groove 333 formed on the needle 332; the ejector pin 33 is in contact with the opening device 20 through the ejector rod 331; the needle 332 is an inclined surface.

[0034] The ejector pin 33 is connected to the opening member 23 via the ejector rod 331; when the ejector pin 33 punctures the bottle opening, the refrigerant flows into the fixed cylinder 32 through the flow groove 33 on the needle tip 332.

[0035] The beveled design of needle 332 makes it easier to puncture the bottle opening.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
