Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning pipe connector technology, specifically an automotive air conditioning pipe connector. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive air conditioning pipe fittings are important components that connect various parts of the air conditioning system, and their sealing performance directly affects the operating efficiency of the air conditioning system. Traditional pipe fittings are prone to poor sealing during installation, leading to refrigerant leakage and affecting air conditioning performance.

[0003] Existing joint structures typically use fixed sealing rings, but these are prone to aging and deformation after long-term use, leading to seal failure. Traditional joints seal by squeezing the end faces from the top and bottom, resulting in poor sealing performance. Once leakage occurs between the joints, the joints need to be replaced, increasing maintenance and repair costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of automotive air conditioning pipe connector that offers better sealing performance and is easier to maintain. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automotive air conditioning pipe connector that solves the sealing problem of air conditioning pipe connector connections. By adding a movable sealing ring, the sealing effect can be improved, and the sealing gasket and fixing ring can be disassembled for easy maintenance and repair.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automotive air conditioning pipe connector, comprising a pipe body and a connector, wherein the pipe body and the connector are fixedly connected, a connecting pipe is fixedly attached to the lower end of the connector, a screw is threaded through one side of the connector, the screw is threadedly connected and fixed to the lower end connecting end, an L-shaped movable groove is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the connector, a washer is fixedly attached to the upper end of the movable groove, and a movable sealing ring is movably disposed inside the movable groove, wherein the upper end of the movable sealing ring is L-shaped and is offset and superimposed on the movable groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower end of the movable sealing ring can deform to form a seal, and the movable sealing ring is arranged around the lower outer ring of the joint.

[0008] Furthermore, a retaining ring is fixed to the lower outer end of the connector, the lower end of the retaining ring being positioned beyond the lower edge of the connector, and the retaining ring being fitted around the outer side of the lower connecting end.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided on the inner edge of the lower end of the ring, and the sealing gasket abuts against the outer edge of the lower connecting end and deforms.

[0010] Furthermore, a retaining ring is fixed to the outer end of the sealing gasket, and the retaining ring is engaged with the inner end of the wrapping ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the screw is used to fasten the joint to the lower connection end and provides a stable fixing effect through the threaded connection.

[0012] This utility model provides an automotive air conditioning pipe connector. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] This automotive air conditioning pipe connector features a movable sealing ring and gasket that work together to create a clearance during installation, improving the sealing effect. The staggered surround design of the ring and gasket further enhances the sealing at the connection. The snap-fit ​​structure between the fixed ring and the ring makes gasket replacement more convenient and quick. The overall structure is simple and reliable, easy to install and maintain, and suitable for the long-term stable operation of automotive air conditioning systems. Attached Figure Description
