One end of the pressure plate is welded to the aluminum pipe, and the other end is connected to air conditioning system components such as expansion valve and compressor. The pressure plate connects the pipe to the core air conditioning components such as expansion valve and compressor, ensuring smooth flow of refrigerant within the air conditioning system, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the air inside the vehicle.

[0003] A search revealed that patent document CN206556314U discloses a mating structure for an automotive air conditioning pipe pressure plate, including an expansion valve and a pipe pressure plate assembly. The mating structure further includes fasteners and a positioning mechanism located on the insertion end faces of the expansion valve and the pipe pressure plate assembly for positioning. The fasteners pass through the pipe pressure plate assembly and connect to the expansion valve. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning pin, a first positioning pin hole, and a second positioning pin hole located on the end face of the expansion valve facing the pipe pressure plate assembly. The first positioning pin hole is located on the pipe pressure plate assembly.

[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, although the positioning and constraint of the pressure plate and the pipeline fixed on the pressure plate and the expansion valve are prevented from rotating relative to each other by the cooperation of the positioning pin and the positioning pin hole, and two pressure plates are set, the relative rotation is restricted by the surface contact formed by the locking end faces between the two pressure plates, and the gap between the pipeline assembly and the surrounding parts can be guaranteed after the position of the pressure plate is restricted, but there is no corresponding connection structure and sealing mechanism between the pressure plate and the expansion valve, the pressure plate cannot be stably fixed on one side of the expansion valve, and the sealing between the pressure plate and the expansion valve is poor. Therefore, an automotive air conditioning pipeline pressure plate and pressure plate assembly are now proposed. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. When using this equipment, by utilizing the connection structure, first insert the first tube and the second tube on the pressure plate into the first hole and the second hole on the expansion valve, respectively, and make the pressure plate fit against the expansion valve.

[0027] It should be noted that the expansion valve 2 is installed inside the car, which is existing technology and will not be described here.

[0028] The top and bottom of the pressure plate 1 are provided with a connection structure for connecting the pressure plate 1 and the expansion valve 2. The connection structure includes a symmetrically arranged connection plate 5, a connection bolt 6, a connection hole 7 and a connection thread groove 8.

[0029] It should be noted that inserting the connecting bolt 6 into the connecting hole 7 and screwing it into the connecting thread groove 8 can stably fix the pressure plate 1 and the expansion valve 2 together, making them less likely to separate.

[0030] The connecting plate 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the pressure plate 1, the connecting bolt 6 is inserted into the connecting hole 7, the connecting hole 7 is set on the connecting plate 5, and the connecting thread groove 8 is set on the outer wall of the expansion valve 2.

[0031] A sealing structure is provided between the expansion valve 2 and the pressure plate 1. The sealing structure includes a sealing plate 9, a sealing groove 10 and a sealing ring 11.

[0032] It should be noted that the sealing plate 9 on one side of the pressure plate 1 is inserted into the sealing groove 10 on the side of the expansion valve 2. The sealing plate 9 will squeeze the sealing ring 11 inside the sealing groove 10, thereby effectively sealing the pressure plate 1 and the expansion valve 2, and the sealing effect is good.

[0033] The sealing plate 9 is fixed to one side of the pressure plate 1, the sealing groove 10 is set on one side of the expansion valve 2, and the sealing ring 11 is set inside the sealing groove 10.

[0034] It should be noted that the sealing ring 11 is made of rubber, which is elastic and can achieve a good sealing effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the expansion valve 2 has a first hole 14 and a second hole 15 on one side, the first tube 3 is inserted into the first hole 14, and the second tube 4 is inserted into the second hole 15.

[0036] Furthermore, a positioning rod 12 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate 1 near the expansion valve 2, and a positioning hole 13 is symmetrically opened on one side of the expansion valve 2, with the positioning rod 12 inserted into the positioning hole 13.

[0037] It should be noted that when the pressure plate 1 approaches the expansion valve 2, the positioning rod 12 will first contact the expansion valve 2. By inserting the two positioning rods 12 into the two positioning holes 13, the positioning function can be achieved, making it convenient for the first tube 3 and the second tube 4 to be inserted into the first hole 14 and the second hole 15 on the expansion valve 2, respectively.

By installing the automotive air conditioning pipe pressure plate in the automotive air conditioning pipe pressure plate assembly, the automotive air conditioning pipes are managed.

[0040] It should be noted that the connecting and sealing structures on the pressure plate 1 can form the pressure plate 1 assembly, which is convenient for use with the expansion valve 2.

[0041] Working principle of this utility model:

[0042] First, insert the first tube 3 and the second tube 4 on the pressure plate 1 into the first hole 14 and the second hole 15 on the expansion valve 2, respectively, and make the pressure plate 1 fit against the expansion valve 2. Then, insert the connecting bolt 6 into the connecting hole 7 and screw it into the connecting thread groove 8. At the same time, the sealing plate 9 on one side of the pressure plate 1 is inserted into the sealing groove 10 on the side of the expansion valve 2.
