Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of HVAC duct installation technology, and in particular to an HVAC duct installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] The thickness and specifications of HVAC ducts can vary depending on requirements. Usually, when connecting, both ends of the duct are externally connected to fittings (such as elbows and reducers). Generally, HVAC ducts do not have grooves at both ends and are equipped with sealing rings.

[0003] The installation of HVAC ducts is a crucial step in ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient building environment. Currently, there are various methods for installing HVAC ducts, but they generally face problems such as low installation efficiency, poor sealing, and difficulty in adapting to complex spatial layouts. Traditional HVAC duct installation methods typically employ welding, flange connections, or threaded connections. While these methods can meet installation requirements to some extent, they suffer from complex installation processes, long installation times, and high technical requirements for installers.

[0004] Therefore, it also has shortcomings in terms of installation efficiency and connection sealing, and is prone to leakage and low energy efficiency. In addition, it has poor adaptability to non-linear layout spaces.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) duct installation structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application proposes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct installation structure to address the problems mentioned in the background art. It uses quick connectors to tightly connect two pipe sections, simplifying installation steps, improving installation efficiency, and ensuring a tight seal. To enhance spatial adaptability, the pipe sections are made of flexible materials, allowing them to bend within a certain range to accommodate non-linear layouts. The quick connector's clamping mechanism is adjustable, allowing for the replacement of elastic sealing rings of different thicknesses for pipe sections of varying diameters. Therefore, the quick connector can adapt to pipe sections of different diameters. To further enhance sealing, an elastic sealing ring is provided within the sealing groove. When the quick connector clamps the pipe section, the elastic sealing ring is compressed, filling any potential micro-gaps. Furthermore, the quick connector employs a magnetic connection, achieving rapid connection and sealing of the pipe sections through magnetic attraction, greatly improving the device's practicality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct installation structure includes a duct section and a quick connector. The quick connector is composed of a first semi-circular clamping member and a second semi-circular clamping member. Sealing grooves are provided at both ends of the duct section. Elastic sealing rings are provided in the sealing grooves of the duct section and the quick connector. An anti-displacement mechanism is provided between the quick connector and the elastic sealing ring. A magnetic attraction mechanism is provided between the first semi-circular clamping member and the second semi-circular clamping member. A fixing mechanism is provided on the quick connector.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-displacement mechanism includes protrusions and an anti-slip particle layer, and the inner sides of the first semi-circular clamping member and the second semi-circular clamping member are provided with a plurality of protrusions.

[0010] By setting protrusions on the inner sides of the first and second semicircular clamping members, under pressure, the protrusions will compress the outside of the elastic sealing ring. The elasticity of the elastic sealing ring causes the protrusions to be recessed inside the elastic sealing ring, thereby improving the stability of the elastic sealing ring and thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the inner sides of the first and second semicircular clamping members and the outer side of each protrusion are provided with an anti-slip particle layer.

[0012] By adding an anti-slip particle layer, the anti-slip properties between the quick connector and the elastic sealing ring can be further improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the elastic sealing ring during use and improving the practicality of the device.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic attraction mechanism includes a first magnetic block and a second magnetic block. The first magnetic block is embedded in the connecting surface of the first semi-circular clamping member, and the second magnetic block is embedded in the connecting surface of the second semi-circular clamping member. The first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other.

[0014] The device utilizes magnetic connections via quick connectors, enabling rapid connection and sealing of pipe sections through magnetic attraction, thereby enhancing its practicality.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a movable groove, a screw, a threaded hole, and a rotating ring. The movable groove is formed inside the second semi-circular clamping member, and a through hole is formed inside the second semi-circular clamping member. The movable groove and the through hole are connected.

[0016] By creating a through hole in the second semi-circular clamping member, which communicates with the movable groove, the rotation of the rotating ring can be controlled through the through hole, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the first semi-circular clamping member has a threaded hole inside, and a screw is rotatably connected inside the movable groove, with one end of the screw extending into the threaded hole;

[0018] When the screw rotates, one end of the screw extends into the threaded hole and connects with the threaded hole, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the screw is externally threaded with a rotating ring, and the rotating ring is located inside a through hole, with multiple slots formed on the outer surface of the rotating ring;

[0020] By creating multiple slots on the rotating ring, it is easier to operate the ring, thus improving installation efficiency and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a first connecting member is fixedly connected to the first semi-circular clamping member, and a second connecting member is fixedly connected to the second semi-circular clamping member, wherein the second connecting member is rotatably connected to the first connecting member;

[0022] By fixing the first connector and the second connector to the first semicircular clamping member and the second semicircular clamping member respectively, the second semicircular clamping member can move on the first semicircular clamping member, which allows for better operation of the quick connector for installation, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0024] 1. This HVAC duct installation structure uses quick connectors to tightly connect two pipe sections, simplifying the installation process, improving installation efficiency, and ensuring the sealing of the connection. To improve spatial adaptability, the pipe sections are made of flexible materials that can bend within a certain range to adapt to non-linear layouts. The clamping parts of the quick connector are adjustable, allowing for the replacement of elastic sealing rings of different thicknesses for pipe sections of different diameters. Therefore, the quick connector can adapt to pipe sections of different diameters. To further enhance sealing, an elastic sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove. When the quick connector clamps the pipe section, the elastic sealing ring is compressed, thereby filling any possible tiny gaps. In addition, the quick connector uses magnetic connection, achieving quick connection and sealing of pipe sections through magnetic attraction, greatly improving the practicality of the device.

[0025] 2. This HVAC duct installation structure, through the design of prefabricated pipe sections and quick connectors, greatly improves the installation efficiency of HVAC ducts. The design of flexible pipe sections and adjustable clamps allows the installation structure to adapt to more complex spatial layouts. Overall, this technology improves the convenience, sealing, and spatial adaptability of HVAC duct installation, solves the problems of low efficiency, poor sealing, and poor spatial adaptability in the HVAC duct installation process, and greatly enhances the practicality of the device.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct installation structure includes a duct section 1 and a quick connector 2. The quick connector 2 is composed of a first semi-circular clamping member 21 and a second semi-circular clamping member 22. Both ends of the duct section 1 are provided with sealing grooves. An elastic sealing ring 3 is provided in the sealing grooves of the duct section 1 and the quick connector 2. An anti-displacement mechanism 4 is provided between the quick connector 2 and the elastic sealing ring 3. A magnetic attraction mechanism 5 is provided between the first semi-circular clamping member 21 and the second semi-circular clamping member 22. A fixing mechanism 6 is provided on the quick connector 2.

[0032] The anti-displacement mechanism 4 includes protrusions 41 and an anti-slip particle layer 42. Several protrusions 41 are provided on the inner sides of the first semi-circular clamping member 21 and the second semi-circular clamping member 22. By providing protrusions 41 on the inner sides of the first semi-circular clamping member 21 and the second semi-circular clamping member 22, under pressure, the protrusions 41 will compress the outside of the elastic sealing ring 3. The elasticity of the elastic sealing ring 3 causes the protrusions 41 to be recessed into the elastic sealing ring 3, thereby improving the stability of the elastic sealing ring 3 and thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] The inner sides of the first semi-circular clamping member 21 and the second semi-circular clamping member 22, as well as the outer side of each protrusion 41, are provided with anti-slip particle layer 42. By providing anti-slip particle layer 42, the anti-slip property between the quick connector 2 and the elastic sealing ring 3 can be further improved, thereby improving the stability of the elastic sealing ring 3 during use and thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0034] The magnetic attraction mechanism 5 includes a first magnetic block 51 and a second magnetic block 52. The first magnetic block 51 is embedded in the connecting surface of the first semi-circular clamping member 21, and the second magnetic block 52 is embedded in the connecting surface of the second semi-circular clamping member 22. The first magnetic block 51 and the second magnetic block 52 attract each other. The quick connector 2 is used for magnetic connection, and the pipe section 1 is quickly connected and sealed by magnetic attraction, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0035] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a movable groove 61, a screw 62, a threaded hole 63, and a rotating ring 64. The movable groove 61 is formed inside the second semi-circular clamping member 22, and a through hole 611 is formed inside the second semi-circular clamping member 22. The movable groove 61 and the through hole 611 are connected. By forming a through hole 611 on the second semi-circular clamping member 22, and the through hole 611 is connected to the movable groove 61, the rotation of the rotating ring 64 can be controlled through the through hole 611, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] The first semi-circular clamping member 21 has a threaded hole 63 inside, and a screw 62 is rotatably connected inside the movable groove 61, with one end of the screw 62 extending into the threaded hole 63. When the screw 62 rotates, one end of the screw 62 will extend into the threaded hole 63 and be threadedly connected to the threaded hole 63, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0037] The screw 62 is externally threaded with a rotating ring 64, which is located inside the through hole 611. The outer surface of the rotating ring 64 has multiple slots 641. By opening multiple slots 641 on the rotating ring 64, it is easier to operate the rotating ring 64 to rotate, thus improving the installation efficiency and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0038] A first connector 211 is fixedly connected to the first semicircular clamping member 21, and a second connector 221 is fixedly connected to the second semicircular clamping member 22, with the second connector 221 rotatably connected to the first connector 211. By fixing the first connector 211 and the second connector 221 to the first semicircular clamping member 21 and the second semicircular clamping member 22 respectively, the second semicircular clamping member 22 can move on the first semicircular clamping member 21, which allows for better operation of the quick connector 2 for installation, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0039] Working principle: During installation, first, two elastic sealing rings 3 are respectively fitted into the sealing grooves of the two pipe sections 1. Then, the sealing grooves of the two pipe sections 1 are aligned, and the two pipe sections are tightly connected using quick connectors 2. This method simplifies the installation steps, improves installation efficiency, and ensures the sealing performance of the connection. To improve spatial adaptability, pipe sections 1 are made of flexible material, which can be bent within a certain range to adapt to non-linear layouts. In addition, the clamping part of quick connector 2 adopts an adjustable design, and elastic sealing rings 3 of different thicknesses can be replaced according to different diameter pipe sections 1. Therefore, quick connector 2 can adapt to pipe sections 1 of different diameters. To further enhance the sealing performance, elastic sealing rings 3 are provided in the sealing groove. When quick connector 2 clamps pipe section 1, the elastic sealing rings 3 are compressed, thereby filling any possible tiny gaps. In addition, quick connector 2 adopts a magnetic connection, which achieves quick connection and sealing of pipe sections 1 through magnetic attraction.

[0040] The design of prefabricated pipe section 1 and quick connector 2 greatly improves the installation efficiency of HVAC pipes. The design of flexible pipe section 1 and adjustable clamps allows the installation structure to adapt to more complex spatial layouts. Overall, this technology improves the convenience, sealing and spatial adaptability of HVAC pipe installation, and solves the problems of low efficiency, poor sealing and poor spatial adaptability in the HVAC pipe installation process.
