Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive air conditioning system accessories, specifically a high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems. Background Technology
[0002] As a connecting component, the flange in an automotive air conditioning system directly affects the system's sealing and stability when it operates in high-temperature environments for extended periods.
[0003] However, the existing automotive air conditioning system flanges have the following significant drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Insufficient thermal insulation performance: Traditional flanges are mostly made of metal and lack effective thermal insulation design, which makes it easy for heat to be transferred to the connection parts in high-temperature environments. This not only affects the efficiency of the air conditioning system, but may also accelerate the aging of the sealing material and cause leakage risk.
[0005] 2. High-temperature deformation leading to loosening: Under high-temperature conditions, flanges and connecting bolts are prone to thermal expansion and deformation, and the pre-tightening force gradually decreases, causing the threaded connection to loosen, which in turn affects the sealing effect and may even lead to system failure.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems. Utility Model Content
[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems. Through the design of a heat insulation layer and an anti-loosening thread structure, it achieves high-temperature resistance and other advantages, effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0009] (II) Technical Solution
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a high-temperature resistant flange for an automotive air conditioning system, comprising a cylindrical body, with flange bodies fixedly installed on the outer walls of both the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body. An installation hole is provided on the upper outer surface of the flange body, extending through to the lower outer surface of the flange body. A heat insulation layer is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical body. A pre-tightening structure is installed at the end of the flange body away from the cylindrical body. The pre-tightening structure includes an annular mounting groove, a movable ring, and a helical spring, with the annular mounting groove located on the outer surface of the end of the flange body away from the cylindrical body.
[0011] Preferably, the helical spring is located in the annular mounting groove, the lower outer surface of the helical spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular mounting groove, and the upper outer surface of the helical spring is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the movable ring.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable ring is slidably connected to the annular mounting groove, and the lower outer surface of the movable ring is elastically connected to the bottom of the annular mounting groove by a helical spring.
[0013] Preferably, the heat insulation layer is made of ceramic fiber material.
[0014] Preferably, the helical spring is a nickel-based alloy spring.
[0015] Preferably, the heat insulation layer is bonded to the inner wall of the cylinder by a high-temperature adhesive. The high-temperature adhesive is an inorganic silicate adhesive, which has high bonding strength and excellent temperature resistance, thus preventing delamination or detachment.
[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems, which has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems effectively blocks the transfer of high-temperature heat to the flange connection by setting a ceramic fiber insulation layer on the inner wall of the cylinder, reducing the risk of thermal deformation, while protecting the sealing material and extending its service life. The ceramic fiber material has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity, which significantly improves the stability of the flange in high-temperature environments.
[0019] 2. This high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems provides continuous pre-tightening force after bolt thread connection through a pre-tightening structure, preventing loosening caused by high-temperature deformation.
[0020] 3. This high-temperature resistant flange for automotive air conditioning systems has a pre-tightening structure that provides continuous pre-tightening force after bolt connection through the elastic cooperation of a helical spring and a movable ring. This compensates for material expansion or creep caused by high temperature, prevents thread loosening, and the nickel-based alloy helical spring has high-temperature fatigue resistance characteristics, ensuring that the pre-tightening force remains stable under long-term high-temperature conditions.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0027] This embodiment is a high-temperature resistant flange for an automotive air conditioning system.
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a cylindrical body 1. Flange bodies 2 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body 1. An installation hole 4 is opened on the outer surface of the upper end of the flange body 2, and the installation hole 4 extends to the outer surface of the lower end of the flange body 2. A heat insulation layer 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical body 1. A pre-tightening structure 5 is installed at the end of the flange body 2 away from the cylindrical body 1. The pre-tightening structure 5 includes an annular mounting groove 6, a movable ring 7, and a helical spring 8. The annular mounting groove 6 is opened on the outer surface of the end of the flange body 2 away from the cylindrical body 1.
[0029] The helical spring 8 is located in the annular mounting groove 6. The lower outer surface of the helical spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular mounting groove 6, and the upper outer surface of the helical spring 8 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the movable ring 7. The outer wall of the movable ring 7 is slidably connected to the annular mounting groove 6, and the lower outer surface of the movable ring 7 is elastically connected to the bottom of the annular mounting groove 6 through the helical spring 8. The heat insulation layer 3 is made of ceramic fiber material. The helical spring 8 is a nickel-based alloy spring. The heat insulation layer 3 is bonded to the inner wall of the cylinder 1 with a high-temperature adhesive, which is an inorganic silicate adhesive.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is a high-temperature resistant flange for an automotive air conditioning system. The cylinder 1, flange body 2, and mounting hole 4 described herein are all existing technologies and can be readily understood by those skilled in the art. Further details are omitted. A heat insulation layer 3 is provided, fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The inner wall of the heat insulation layer 3 is connected to the air conditioning pipe. The heat insulation layer 3 is made of ceramic fiber material and has excellent heat insulation properties. Through the pre-tightening structure 5, after the flange body 2 is connected to the external flange by bolts, the movable ring 7 in the pre-tightening structure 5 is squeezed into the annular mounting groove 6. The movable ring 7 compresses the helical spring 8 in the annular mounting groove 6. When the threaded connection is made, the helical spring 8 is in a compressed state. The reaction force of the helical spring 8 eliminates loosening after the threaded connection, preventing loosening caused by high-temperature deformation.
