Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner two-phase copper elbow separation device, and more specifically, to an air conditioner two-phase copper elbow separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners have become an essential household appliance, providing cooling in the hot summer and warmth in the cold winter. However, with their increasing popularity, the number of broken and old air conditioners is also rising. The two main components of these discarded air conditioners (evaporator and condenser) typically consist of copper pipe elbows, aluminum foil, and a fixing iron plate. During the recycling and dismantling process, the iron plate and copper elbows at both ends of the components need to be separated for sorting and recycling. The copper elbows are pipe connectors primarily used in air conditioning systems, especially inside the evaporator and condenser. Their function is to connect different pipe sections, adjust the flow direction and angle of the pipes, and ensure smooth refrigerant flow and efficient heat exchange within the system. The copper components are recyclable.

[0003] Traditionally, the separation of iron plates and copper elbows is usually done by employees manually prying them apart with screwdrivers or knocking them apart with nail guns. However, both of these methods are inefficient because they are manual disassembly, which is tedious, labor-intensive, and has a low safety factor, posing a risk of injury to employees. In addition, manual disassembly requires a large amount of labor, resulting in high labor costs for enterprises and increasing their economic burden.

[0004] In the prior art, such as the authorized announcement number CN113787487A, this invention discloses an automatic separation device for copper elbows of air conditioners, including a power part, an action part, and a support part. The power part includes a foot valve, a power cylinder, and a second hinge. The action part includes an adjusting block, a power rod, a blocking groove, and a hook. The support part includes a shock absorber, a support, a first hinge, and a third hinge. The foot valve is connected to the support base of the support. The support is connected to the power cylinder and the power rod. The power cylinder is connected to the power rod. The blocking groove is installed on the support. The adjusting block is connected to the hook. The support is equipped with two shock absorbers. The blocking groove is installed on the support. This invention can quickly realize the automatic separation of iron plates and copper elbows. The action is precise, the work efficiency is improved, and the labor demand and labor intensity are greatly reduced. The device has low manufacturing cost. Using this invention can greatly improve the economic benefits of enterprises.

[0005] The aforementioned patent uses a lever structure for prying and separating the structure. However, the use of a cylinder and hinge structure makes the hinge structure unstable and prone to damage. Moreover, the mechanism is complex. After the copper pipe elbow head is inserted, it is easily blocked by the upper blocking groove. The copper pipe elbow heads are distributed on the iron plate in some horizontal and some vertical directions, making them inconvenient to hang. The copper pipe elbows are generally clustered together, and when one copper pipe elbow is squeezed out, it is easy to squeeze other copper pipe elbows, causing them to be flattened.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5A copper elbow separation device for air conditioner two-phase units includes a bend support 1, a support 2 fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the bend support 1, and a hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support 2. (A hydraulic cylinder is a device that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, mainly used to achieve linear reciprocating motion or oscillating motion. It consists of a cylinder barrel and cylinder head, piston and piston rod, sealing device, buffer device, and exhaust device. Hydraulic cylinders have a simple structure, reliable operation, and smooth movement, therefore they are widely used in the hydraulic systems of various machines. The hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 is existing technology, and its control principle is also existing technology. It is controlled by a hydraulic pump, which is the power source of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil is controlled by adjusting the output pressure of the hydraulic pump.) The working pressure of the cylinder can be achieved by adjusting the displacement and working pressure of the hydraulic pump. The displacement can be adjusted by adjusting the pump speed or changing the pump gear size, while the working pressure can be achieved by adjusting the pump overflow valve (based on existing technology principles). The hydraulic rod end face of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 is provided with a hook 4, and the lower surface of the support seat 2 is provided with a convex support port 5. The outer surface of the convex support port 5 is fitted with a support ring 6, and the lower surface of the support ring 6 is fixed with a pressing rod 7. The open structure is adopted, and its exposed hook structure makes it more convenient to hang the copper pipe elbow. The upper end is provided with a flip-up pressing rod structure, which can press the pressing rod against the surface of the iron plate when rising, and the adjustable angle will not press other copper pipe elbows.

[0027] The support ring 6 adopts a circular ring structure. The inner surface of the support ring 6 is sleeved on the outer surface of the convex support opening 5, and the upper surface of the support ring 6 is supported on the lower surface of the support base 2. The support ring 6 can rotate around the convex support opening 5, and its position can be adjusted by rotation. The position of the extrusion rod 7 can be adjusted so that when the copper pipe elbow is pulled out, it will not squeeze the copper pipe elbow in other positions.

[0028] The extrusion rod 7 adopts a round rod structure, with the extrusion rod 7 protruding downward from the support ring 6. The extrusion rod 7 is distributed and fixed on the lower surface of the left and right sides of the support ring 6. The extrusion rod 7 is distributed on the left and right sides to improve the support force during extrusion.

[0029] Hook 4 adopts a bend hook structure, and its hook 4 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3; the bend hook structure allows copper pipe elbows to be hung directly from the outside, which is convenient to use and easy to operate;

[0030] The hook 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 by bolts 8. The hook 4 is fixed by two bolts 8; the fixation is firm, and the two sets of distributed bolts 8 ensure that the hook 4 is installed stably and securely.

[0031] The upper inner surface of the hook 4 is provided with two sets of convex insertion holes. The bolt 8 is inserted into the inner surface of the convex insertion holes of the hook 4. This facilitates embedded installation. The raised surface will not affect the hanging of copper pipe elbows. The bolt 8 is made of hexagonal socket head cap screw. It can be installed and removed using a hexagonal wrench. It is easy to replace and use.

[0032] In use, a hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the support base 2. A hook 4 is provided on the end face of the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3. A convex support opening 5 is provided on the lower surface of the support base 2. A support ring 6 is fitted onto the outer surface of the convex support opening 5. A pressing rod 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the support ring 6. In use, the copper pipe elbow is hung along the hook 4. After hanging, the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 retracts the hook 4 upwards. At this time, the pressing rod 7 at the lower end of the support ring 6 presses against the iron plate. Continuing to raise the hook 4 allows the copper pipe elbow to be pulled out directly. The support ring 6 has a circular structure, and its inner surface is fitted onto the convex support opening 5. The outer surface, and the upper surface of the support ring 6 is supported on the lower surface of the support base 2; the support ring 6 can rotate around the convex support opening 5, and the position of the support ring 6 can be adjusted by rotation, and the position of the squeeze rod 7 can be adjusted. When the copper pipe elbow is pulled out, it will not squeeze the copper pipe elbow in other positions; when hanging, the hook 4 is an open structure, and both horizontally distributed copper pipe elbows and vertically distributed copper pipe elbows can be hung conveniently and quickly. It is easy to use, and the hydraulic telescopic cylinder direct pull-out structure is simpler and more robust, and not easily damaged (compared to the hinged lever structure in the above patent documents). It is more convenient to use.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
