The upper and lower sides of the air inlet pipe are provided with installation mechanisms, and the left side of the air inlet pipe is provided with a connecting pipe. By providing a connecting plate, a connecting plate, screw holes, a mounting groove, a mounting plate and a top plate, the number of steps required for disassembly by the workers is reduced, the number of bolts to be disassembled is reduced, the disassembly efficiency is increased and the workload of the workers is reduced. However, the following shortcomings still exist.

[0003] The aforementioned equipment can only connect different air ducts in a simple way, but the support of the connected air ducts is limited. In actual use, excessively long air ducts may bend unexpectedly or even break directly after connection due to their own length and insufficient support. Therefore, we propose an air duct connection structure for air conditioning installation projects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a duct connection structure for air conditioning installation projects. Through the support mechanism and the connection mechanism, it solves the problem that different ducts can only be connected simply, but the support of the connected ducts is limited. In actual use, excessively long ducts may be accidentally bent or even broken after connection due to their own length and insufficient support.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a duct connection structure for air conditioning installation engineering, including a connecting seat, a connecting groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting seat, a duct is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, a second duct is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat, and a support mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the connecting seat.

[0007] The support mechanism includes several sliding rod seats, each with a sliding rod slidably connected to its inner wall. Each sliding rod has several adjusting grooves on its inner wall. A support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each sliding rod. The inner wall of the support frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second air duct. Several pin seats are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting seat. Each pin seat has several pin grooves on its inner wall. A fixing pin is slidably connected to the inner wall of each pin groove. A push button is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing pin. A spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing pin. The outer wall of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pin groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the top outer wall of the connecting seat is provided with a connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism including a gear, the bottom outer wall of the gear being rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the connecting seat.

[0009] Furthermore, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the gear, and several worm seats are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the connecting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a worm is rotatably connected to the inner wall of several of the worm seats, and the outer wall of the worm meshes with the outer wall of the worm wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, a knob is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the worm gear, and several slide rail grooves are opened on the inner wall of the connecting seat.

[0012] Furthermore, racks are slidably connected to the inner walls of several of the slide rail grooves, and the outer walls of the racks mesh with the outer walls of the gears.

[0013] Furthermore, a caliper is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack, and several fixing grooves are provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner walls of several of the fixing grooves are slidably connected to the outer wall of the caliper, and the inner wall of the second air duct is provided with several fixing grooves, the inner walls of several fixing grooves being slidably connected to the outer wall of the caliper.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides an additional support frame for the second duct by setting up a support frame. If the position of the auxiliary support needs to be adjusted according to the different lengths of the second duct, several push buttons can be squeezed inward. Each push button will drive the fixed pin to move, and the fixed pin will disengage from the adjustment groove while squeezing the spring. Then, the support frame can be pushed and pulled to change its position. After the support frame is moved to the appropriate position, several push buttons can be released, which can provide additional auxiliary support for the connected duct, so as to ensure that the duct will not bend or even break directly after connection due to its own length and insufficient support.

[0017] 2. This utility model incorporates clamps. To connect different lengths of ductwork, the knob is turned counter-clockwise. The knob rotates the worm gear, which in turn rotates the worm wheel, which in turn rotates the gear, which in turn moves several racks. Each rack moves the clamps, causing them to move away from each other. The clamps disengage from the fixing slot and the second fixing slot, thus freeing the ductwork from being fixed in the connecting slot. The second ductwork is then pulled out of the connecting slot, and the new ductwork is reinstalled. This allows for quick and convenient replacement and connection of different ductwork, eliminating the cumbersome process of traditional equipment requiring tools and significantly improving the efficiency of ductwork connection and installation.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
