Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner outdoor unit piping technology, specifically to an outdoor unit piping system for a split-type air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner is the core of the heat exchange system, responsible for transferring indoor heat to the outdoors through refrigerant circulation to achieve cooling / heating effects.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-16This utility model provides a technical solution: a split-type air conditioner outdoor unit piping system, including a chassis 15 made of galvanized sheet metal, stamped and formed, used to fix and install a compressor 1 and a condenser 16; the compressor 1 is installed on the chassis 15, an exhaust pipe 2 is installed on the compressor 1, a muffler 3 is installed on the exhaust pipe 2, and a four-way reversing valve 4 is installed at one end of the exhaust pipe 2, the four-way reversing valve 4 is used to switch the refrigerant flow path during cooling or heating; a four-way reversing valve coil 5 is installed on the four-way reversing valve 4, the four-way reversing valve coil 5 does not work when the air conditioner outdoor unit is cooling, and is energized when the air conditioner outdoor unit is heating to drive the four-way reversing valve 4 to switch the refrigerant flow path of the cooling system; a first condenser connector 6, a shut-off valve connector 7, and a suction pipe 8 are respectively installed at the bottom port of the four-way reversing valve 4; the condenser 16 is installed on the chassis 15 behind the compressor 1, one end of the first condenser connector 6 is installed on the condenser 16, a second condenser connector 12 is installed on the condenser 16, and an electronic... The expansion valve body 9 is an electronic expansion valve body that serves as a throttling mechanism for the outdoor unit's refrigeration system, operating in 500 pulse steps. An electronic expansion valve coil 10 is installed on the top of the electronic expansion valve body 9, driving the valve body 9 to change its opening from 0 to 500 steps, thus throttling and reducing pressure in the air conditioning refrigeration system. A liquid pipe shut-off valve 13, made of brass, is connected to the bottom of the electronic expansion valve body 9 via a connecting pipe. Both the connecting pipe and the second condenser pipe 12 are equipped with filters 11, which filter impurities in the piping system to prevent blockage of the electronic expansion valve body 9. A gas pipe shut-off valve 14, also made of brass, is installed at one end of the shut-off valve pipe 7, connecting the outdoor unit and indoor unit. A gas-liquid separator 17 is installed on the compressor 1, connected via a pipe, with a suction pipe 8 connected to the top of the gas-liquid separator 17.
[0037] The exhaust pipe 2, muffler 3, four-way reversing valve 4, first condenser connection pipe 6, shut-off valve connection pipe 7, and intake pipe 8 are brazed together to form a four-way valve assembly for easy production and assembly. When welding the four-way valve assembly, the four-way reversing valve 4 should be sprayed with water or placed in a water tank to be connected to other copper pipes for brazing to prevent the seals in the four-way reversing valve 4 from being damaged by high temperature.
[0038] The electronic expansion valve body 9, two filters 11, and the second condenser pipe 12 are brazed together to form an electronic expansion valve assembly, which facilitates production and assembly. When welding the electronic expansion valve assembly, the electronic expansion valve body 9 should be sprayed with water or placed in a water tank to be brazed with other copper pipes to prevent the seals in the electronic expansion valve body from being damaged by high temperature.
[0039] The special design of the pipe bend radius, bend angle, and copper pipe wall thickness of the exhaust pipe 2, first condenser connection pipe 6, shut-off valve connection pipe 7, suction pipe 8, and second condenser connection pipe 12 reduces pipe vibration. In addition, the arrangement of the welding space between the electronic expansion valve body 9, the two filters 11, the four-way reversing valve 4, the compressor 1, and the pipe ensures reduced pipe vibration.
[0040] Temperature sensor mounts 18 are installed on both the exhaust pipe 2 and the intake pipe 8. The temperature sensor mount 18 on the exhaust pipe 2 is used to fix the exhaust temperature sensor. The variable frequency compressor controls the compressor speed according to the exhaust temperature. If the exhaust temperature is too high, the variable frequency compressor will reduce the speed to reduce pipeline vibration. The temperature sensor mount 18 on the intake pipe 8 is used to fix the intake temperature sensor. The variable frequency compressor controls the compressor speed according to the intake temperature. If the intake temperature is too low, there is a risk of liquid return. The variable frequency compressor will reduce the speed to reduce pipeline vibration.

The shape design of all pipes conforms to the laws of mechanical rotation, preventing pipe breakage during compressor operation. Through three-dimensional spatial design of the piping in the four-way reversing valve piping assembly and the electronic expansion valve piping assembly, vibration of related pipes or components is minimal when the compressor 1 of the outdoor unit of the split air conditioner is running.
