Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more particularly to an air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the water system of the Tianfudi Water project uses a variety of materials for the flow path pipes, including copper pipes, stainless steel pipes, and injection molded parts. Therefore, there are many different interface materials for the corresponding water system components.

[0003] In existing technologies, when welding pipes made of different materials, direct welding is not possible due to the limitations of the pipe materials. A special connection structure needs to be designed to replace welding, which makes the pipe connection forms in water systems diverse and the handling of each link from production to maintenance complicated.

[0004] Due to the complex internal piping structure and numerous connection interfaces of water-related equipment, the connection methods vary depending on the materials of different pipes. This necessitates the design and production of connectors for each connection interface, resulting in higher overall production costs and greater difficulty in maintenance and replacement. This hinders cost control and production efficiency improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application addresses, to at least some extent, one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this application aims to provide an air conditioning system that, by setting a first connector, a second connector, and a snap-fit ​​component in the connecting assembly, allows the first and second connectors to be connected to the pipes using different materials depending on the material of the pipes they are connected to. By setting the snap-fit ​​component, the first and second connectors can be quickly connected and fixed without being limited by materials, making it more flexible. Furthermore, by setting a first heat dissipation ring groove and a second heat dissipation ring groove, the welding effect of the first and second connectors is improved, thereby enabling the connecting assembly to achieve compatibility and universality of snap-fit ​​and welding, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an air conditioning system, comprising:

[0008] Temperature control module;

[0009] A water circulation module, wherein the temperature regulation module is used to change the water temperature within the water circulation module; the water circulation module includes pipelines, which are connected to each other via connecting components.

[0010] The connection component includes:

[0011] A first connector, the first connector comprising:

[0012] First connecting pipe;

[0013] The first retaining ring is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting tube;

[0014] The second connector includes:

[0015] Second connecting pipe;

[0016] The second retaining ring is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting tube;

[0017] The snap-fit ​​assembly includes:

[0018] Fixing part;

[0019] A clamping member, comprising two clamping plates spaced apart, the clamping plates being arc-shaped, and one end of each clamping plate being connected to the fixing part;

[0020] When the open ends of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring abut together, the two clamping plates abut against the side walls of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring that are far apart from each other.

[0021] In the technical solution, by setting up a snap-fit ​​assembly, when the open ends of the first snap ring and the second snap ring abut together, the operating fixing part causes the two clamping plates to abut against the two side walls of the first and second snap rings that are far apart from each other. The two clamping plates apply opposing abutting forces to the first and second snap rings respectively, connecting and fixing the first and second snap rings to achieve the connection and fixing of the first and second connecting parts. This minimizes the limitations of materials and solves the problem of connection difficulties caused by using different metal materials at both ends or using metal and non-metal materials at both ends between different pipelines or water-related equipment. It facilitates the interconnection between pipelines and water-related equipment in the water circulation module.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, there are two sets of clamping members, which are symmetrically arranged on the fixing part; the opening of the clamping plate in the clamping member is arranged facing the other clamping member.

[0023] In the technical solution, when the end walls of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring abut against each other, the operator operates the clamping assembly so that the two sets of clamping members are respectively clamped onto the opposite outer peripheral wall surfaces of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring. The two clamping plates of each set of clamping members abut against the two side walls of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring that are far apart from each other, thereby increasing the range and area of ​​the force exerted by the clamping members on the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring, and thus increasing the firmness of the clamping assembly in fixing the first connector and the second connector.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing part includes:

[0025] Fixing plate;

[0026] Two connecting plates are spaced apart and located on the same side of the fixing plate, with the connecting plates and the fixing plate forming an angle between them;

[0027] The clamping plates of the two clamping members are respectively connected to the two connecting plates.

[0028] In the technical solution, the connection distance between the first and second connectors and the fixed plate is extended. When the distance between the two sets of clamping members away from the fixed plate gradually increases so that the snap-fit ​​assembly can be snapped into the first and second retaining rings, the bending angle at the connection between the clamping member and the fixed plate is reduced due to the setting of the connecting plate. This reduces the risk of plastic deformation or fatigue failure at the connection between the clamping member and the fixed plate, and improves the reliability and durability of the overall structure of the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, each of the clamping members further includes a mounting portion located at one end of the clamping plate away from the fixing portion, and the mounting portion is inclined from the direction away from the fixing portion toward the direction away from the other clamping member.

[0030] In the technical solution, when the snap-fit ​​assembly fixes the first connector and the second connector, by simultaneously applying opposing forces to the ends of the two mounting parts that are away from the fixing part, since the mounting parts are inclined, when the ends of the two mounting parts that are away from the fixing part approach each other, the ends of the two mounting parts that are close to the fixing part move in opposite directions, so that the operator can operate the snap-fit ​​assembly to snap-fit ​​and fix the first connector and the second connector, thereby further improving the operator's work efficiency and facilitating the later replacement and maintenance of the system.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, each of the clamping members further includes a mounting plate located between the two mounting portions and connected to the two mounting portions.

[0032] In the technical solution, by setting an installation plate, the two ends of the two clamping plates are fixedly connected to the connecting plate and the installation plate respectively, which further enhances the stability of the connection structure between the two clamping plates, thereby reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the clamping parts during use.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the first retaining ring is provided with a ring platform on the side away from the first connecting pipe, and the second connecting pipe is provided with a mounting cavity for the ring platform to be inserted at the end near the second retaining ring. When the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring abut against each other, the ring platform is located in the mounting cavity.

[0034] In the technical solution, by setting up a ring platform, the heat-receiving area of ​​the first and second connectors during welding is increased, thereby facilitating welding operations. At the same time, the position of the pipelines connected to the first and second connectors is limited within the first and second connectors to avoid interference, further improving production and assembly efficiency.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, a sealing ring is provided between the ring platform and the mounting cavity, the sealing ring being used to seal the gap between the ring platform and the mounting cavity.

[0036] In the technical solution, by setting a sealing ring, when the ring platform moves away from the second retaining ring towards the mounting cavity, the sealing ring, which is usually made of rubber or other materials, is compressed radially, thereby sealing the gap between the ring platform and the mounting cavity and improving the sealing performance.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, a first heat dissipation annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the ring platform and / or the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0038] In the technical solution, by setting the first heat dissipation ring groove, the heat-receiving area of ​​the ring platform and the mounting cavity is increased, thereby effectively improving the impact of differences in thermal conductivity and welding process between different materials, and the snap-fit-welding compatibility of the connecting components. This enables the connecting components to be universalized, facilitates the production and processing of the connecting components, improves the portability of the connecting components, and reduces production costs.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, a second heat dissipation annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting pipe and / or the second connecting pipe.

[0040] In the technical solution, by setting a second annular groove, the heat dissipation area of ​​the first connector and the second connector is increased, thereby improving the problem that the temperature rises quickly near the sealing ring and slowly away from the sealing ring due to the uneven thickness of the first connector or the pipe at the connection port of the water-contacting equipment, thus meeting the welding requirements between different materials.

[0041] In addition, this application also provides an air conditioning system, which includes:

[0042] Temperature control module;

[0043] A water circulation module, wherein the temperature regulation module is used to change the water temperature within the water circulation module; the water circulation module includes pipelines, which are connected to each other via connecting components.

[0044] The connection component includes:

[0045] A first connector, the first connector comprising:

[0046] First connecting pipe;

[0047] The first retaining ring is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting tube;

[0048] The second connector includes:

[0049] Second connecting pipe;

[0050] The second retaining ring is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting tube;

[0051] The snap-fit ​​assembly includes:

[0052] Fixing part;

[0053] A clamping member, the clamping member including a clamping plate, the clamping plate being arc-shaped, and a through groove on the clamping plate, the groove being used to engage a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring;

[0054] When the opening ends of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring abut each other, the opposite side walls of the retaining groove abut each other against the side walls of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring that are far apart from each other.

[0055] In the technical solution, by setting up a snap-fit ​​assembly, when the open ends of the first snap ring and the second snap ring abut together, the operating fixing part causes the opposite side walls of the snap groove to abut against the opposite side walls of the first and second snap rings, respectively. The opposite side walls of the snap groove apply opposing abutting forces to the first and second snap rings, connecting and fixing the first and second snap rings, thereby achieving the connection and fixing of the first and second connecting parts. This minimizes material limitations and solves the connection difficulties caused by using different metal materials at both ends or using metal and non-metal materials at both ends between different pipelines or water-related equipment, facilitating the interconnection between pipelines and water-related equipment in the water circulation module.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0072] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0073] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in an illustrative embodiment of the air conditioning system of this application, the air conditioning system includes a temperature regulation module, which regulates the room temperature by adjusting the flow rate, pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, and maintains the stability of the room temperature.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system includes a water circulation module, which changes the water temperature within the water circulation module under the action of the temperature regulation module. The water circulation module includes pipes 100, which are connected to each other by connecting components.

[0075] In existing technologies, the materials of the connection pipes and conduits 100 of water-related equipment are often not uniform, and the positions of different conduits 100 within the water circulation module also vary. For example, water pump interfaces are mostly made of cast iron, shell-and-tube heat exchanger interfaces are mostly made of brass, and plate heat exchanger and electric heater interfaces are mostly made of stainless steel. At interfaces made of different materials, due to the different melting points of each material, the weldability between different materials is limited, leading to problems in the transition and fixing between different materials. There are various alternative welding methods, such as threaded connections and injection-molded inserts, between the interfaces of water-related equipment and conduits 100, as well as between conduits 100 themselves. This results in diverse connection forms within the water circulation module, making the processing of the air conditioning system from production to maintenance complex and reducing production efficiency.

[0076] Based on this, a connection component is provided in this application, which can quickly connect two adjacent pipes 100 or water-contact equipment and pipes 100, while also being compatible with the weldability between different materials, thereby meeting the connection requirements between pipes 100 and water-contact equipment of different materials.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The connecting component includes a first connector 200, which includes a first connecting pipe 201 for fixed connection with one end of the pipeline 100.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first connector 200 includes a first retaining ring 202, which is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting pipe 201 away from the pipe 100. By setting the first connector 200 and installing the first connector 200 onto the opening end of the pipe 100, the first connector 200 serves as a transition part to prepare for the connection of the pipe 100 with the pipe 100 whose opening direction is opposite to its own.

[0079] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes a second connector 300, which includes a second connecting tube 301 for fixed connection to one end of the pipeline 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second connector 300 includes a second retaining ring 302, which is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 301. By setting the second connector 300 and installing the second connector 300 onto the open end of the pipe 100, the second connector 300 can be subsequently connected and engaged with the first connector 200.

[0081] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes a snap-fit ​​component 400, which includes a fixing portion 410 for providing a force point for the snap-fit ​​component 400 to fix the connection between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300.

[0082] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The snap-fit ​​assembly 400 includes a clamping member 420, which includes two spaced-apart clamping plates 421. The clamping plates 421 are arc-shaped, and one end of each clamping plate 421 is connected to the fixing part 410. By spaced-aparting the two clamping plates 421 and connecting them to the fixing part 410, the distance between the two clamping plates 421 is limited by the fixing part 410, thereby achieving the connection and fixation of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0083] In the above technical solution, by setting up the snap-fit ​​assembly 400, when the operator operates the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 to make the open ends of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 abut against each other, and then operates the fixing part 410 to make the two clamping plates 421 abut against the two side walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 respectively, since one end of each clamping plate 421 is connected to the fixing part 410, the distance between the two clamping plates 421 remains unchanged. The two clamping plates 421 apply opposing abutting forces to the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 respectively, connecting and fixing the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, thereby minimizing the material limitations and solving the problem of connection difficulties caused by using different metal materials at both ends or using metal and non-metal materials at both ends between different pipes 100 or water-contacting equipment, which facilitates the interconnection between pipes 100 and water-contacting equipment in the water circulation module.

[0084] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Two sets of clamping members 420 are provided, and the two sets of clamping members 420 are symmetrically arranged on the fixing part 410. The opening of the clamping plate 421 in the clamping member 420 faces the other clamping member 420. When the operator moves the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 so that the end walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 abut, the operator operates the locking assembly 400 so that the two sets of clamping members 420 are respectively locked onto the opposite outer peripheral wall surfaces of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302. The two clamping plates 421 of each set of clamping members 420 abut against the side walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 that are far apart from each other, thereby increasing the range and area of ​​the force applied by the clamping members 420 to the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302, and thus increasing the firmness of the locking assembly 400 in fixing the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The fixing part 410 includes a fixing plate 411, which provides a fulcrum for mounting and fixing the clamping member 420 and connects the two clamping members 420 to form a ring structure so as to fix the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 around it, thereby increasing the connection stability between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0086] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing part 410 includes two connecting plates 412, which are spaced apart and located on the same side of the fixing plate 411. The connecting plates 412 and the fixing plate 411 are arranged at an angle. The clamping plates 421 of the two clamping members 420 are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 412. By setting the connecting plate 412, the connection distance between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 and the fixed plate 411 is extended. When the distance between the ends of the two sets of clamping members 420 away from the fixed plate 411 gradually increases so that the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 can be snapped into the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302, the bending angle and curvature change at the connection between the clamping member 420 and the fixed plate 411 are reduced due to the setting of the connecting plate 412. This reduces the high bending stress that was originally concentrated at the connection between the clamping member 420 and the fixed plate 411 and is distributed to the bending deformation of the connecting plate 412. This reduces the risk of plastic deformation or fatigue failure at the connection between the clamping member 420 and the fixed plate 411 and improves the overall reliability and durability of the snap-fit ​​assembly 400.

[0087] In some embodiments, the clamping member 420 includes a mounting portion 422 located at the end of the clamping plate 421 away from the fixing portion 410. The mounting portion 422 is inclined away from the fixing portion 410 and away from the other clamping member 420. By providing the mounting portion 422, when the operator operates the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 to snap-fit ​​the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, the operator applies opposing forces to the ends of the two mounting portions 422 away from the fixing portion 410 simultaneously. Since the mounting portions 422 are inclined, when the ends of the two mounting portions 422 away from the fixing portion 410 approach each other, the ends of the two mounting portions 422 approaching the fixing portion 410 move in opposite directions. This facilitates the operator's operation of the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 to snap-fit ​​and fix the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, thereby further improving the operator's work efficiency and facilitating the later replacement and maintenance of the system.

[0088] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The clamping member 420 also includes a mounting plate 423, which is located between the two mounting portions 422 and connected to them. By providing the mounting plate 423, when the sidewalls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 pass between the two clamping plates 421, the stability of the connection structure between the two clamping plates 421 is further enhanced because the two ends of the two clamping plates 421 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 412 and the mounting plate 423, respectively, thereby reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the clamping member 420 during use.

[0089] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 423 is located at the end of the mounting portion 422 away from the clamping plate 421, thereby increasing the contact area between the two clamping plates 421 and the side walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 that are far apart from each other, so as to further enhance the clamping stability of the clamping member 420 on the first connector 200 and the second connector 300.

[0090] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first retaining ring 202 has a ring platform 203 on the side away from the first connecting pipe 201. The second connecting pipe 301 has a mounting cavity for the ring platform 203 to be inserted at the end near the second retaining ring 302. When the end walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 abut, the ring platform 203 is located in the mounting cavity. The end of the ring platform 203 away from the first retaining ring 202 abuts against the end of the mounting cavity near the first retaining ring 202. By setting the ring platform 203, the heat-receiving area of ​​the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 during welding is increased, thereby facilitating the welding operation.

[0091] In the above technical solution, by setting up a ring platform 203 and a mounting cavity that cooperates with it, the pipe 100 connected to the first connector 200 moves to the point where the pipe 100 abuts against the end of the ring platform 203 near the first retaining ring 202, and the end of the pipe 100 connected to the second connector 300 moves to the point where it abuts against the end wall of the ring platform 203. At this time, the workers fix the two pipes 100 to the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 respectively, so that when the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are fixedly snapped together, the pipe 100 connected to the first connecting pipe 201 and the pipe 100 connected to the second connecting pipe 301 will not interfere with each other due to the connection position, thereby further ensuring production assembly efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, the water-contaminated equipment is exemplified by a plate heat exchanger, with reference to... Figure 7 The connection between the first connector 200 and the plate heat exchanger is shown in the figure.

[0093] In some embodiments, the water-contaminated equipment is exemplified by a plate heat exchanger, with reference to... Figure 8 The connection between the second connector 300 and the plate heat exchanger is shown in the figure.

[0094] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 To enhance sealing, a sealing ring 500 is provided between the ring platform 203 and the mounting cavity. The sealing ring 500 is used to seal the gap between the ring platform 203 and the mounting cavity. By providing the sealing ring 500, when the ring platform 203 moves away from the second retaining ring 302 in the mounting cavity, the sealing ring 500, which is usually made of rubber or other materials, is compressed radially, thereby sealing the gap between the ring platform 203 and the mounting cavity. This ensures the sealing performance of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 when connected by the snap-fit ​​assembly 400, preventing water from flowing out from the connection between the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 and affecting the normal operation of the equipment in the water circulation module.

[0095] In some embodiments, in order to fix the relative position of the sealing ring 500 on the annular platform 203, a fixing groove 600 for the sealing ring 500 to be inserted is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular platform 203. The distance between the outer peripheral wall of the annular platform 203 and the side of the fixing groove 600 away from the outer peripheral wall of the annular platform 203 is set as the height of the fixing groove 600. The distance between the two side walls of the annular ring formed by cutting the sealing ring 500 perpendicularly to the plane on the side of the fixing groove 600 away from the outer peripheral wall of the annular platform 203 is set as the width of the sealing ring 500. Then the height of the fixing groove 600 is less than the width of the sealing ring 500. When the annular platform 203 moves toward the end of the mounting cavity away from the annular platform 203, the sealing ring 500 is subjected to a horizontal frictional force in the direction of the second retaining ring 302. The sealing ring 500 moves toward the direction of the second retaining ring 302. At this time, since the sealing ring 500 is embedded in the fixing groove 600, the sealing ring 500 abuts against the groove wall of the fixing groove 600 to achieve relative fixation of the position of the sealing ring 500 on the annular platform 203. At the same time, the sealing ring 500 is deformed by the compression of the side wall of the mounting cavity, sealing the gap between the annular platform 203 and the mounting cavity, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 when connected to the snap-fit ​​assembly 400.

[0096] In some embodiments, to further enhance sealing performance, multiple sealing rings 500 may be provided, and multiple fixing grooves 600 may be correspondingly provided, thereby sealing the gaps between the annular platform 203 and different cross-sections of the mounting cavity, and further enhancing the sealing performance when the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are connected. Figure 6 The example uses two 500 sealing rings.

[0097] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the pipe 100 fixedly connected to the first connector 200 and the pipe 100 fixedly connected to the second connector 300 are made of different materials, in order to facilitate welding, the material used for the first connector 200 is the same as the material of the pipe 100 connected to it, and the material used for the second connector 300 is the same as the material of the pipe 100 connected to it. That is, the materials of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are different. When the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 need to be welded, in order to reduce welding problems caused by material differences, a first heat dissipation annular groove 700 is provided on both the outer peripheral wall of the ring platform 203 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity. By setting the first heat dissipation annular groove 700, the heat-receiving area of ​​the ring platform 203 and the mounting cavity is increased, thereby effectively improving the impact of differences in thermal conductivity and welding processes between different materials, so as to achieve the snap-fit-welding compatibility of the connecting components, thereby making the connecting components universal, facilitating the production and processing of the connecting components, improving the portability of the connecting components, and reducing production costs.

[0098] In some embodiments, common metal materials used in the water circulation module include copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. To further increase the heat-receiving area and reduce the impact of different materials, a second heat dissipation annular groove 800 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting pipe 201 and the second connecting pipe 301. By setting the second heat dissipation annular groove 800, the heat-receiving area of ​​the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 during welding is further increased. At the same time, in conjunction with the first heat dissipation annular groove 800, the heating rate near the sealing ring 500 and the area away from the sealing ring 500 are made similar, thereby improving the heat treatment effect when welding different materials such as copper-aluminum and aluminum-stainless steel.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the first connector 200 is used to connect the water-contact equipment connection port pipe and the pipeline 100, a first heat dissipation annular groove 700 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the ring platform 203. When the second connector 300 is connected to the water-contact equipment connection port pipe, by providing the first heat dissipation annular groove 700 on the ring platform 203, the heating area is further increased, and the problem of rapid heating near the sealing ring 500 and slow heating far from the sealing ring 500 caused by the uneven thickness of the first connector 200 or the water-contact equipment connection port pipe at the connection point is improved, thereby meeting the welding requirements between different materials.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation ring groove 700 is provided in multiple spaced intervals, thereby further increasing the heat-receiving area during welding.

[0101] In some embodiments, to further improve the heat treatment effect during welding, a second heat dissipation ring groove 800 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting pipe 201. The provision of the second heat dissipation ring groove 800 increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the first connecting pipe 201 during welding, thereby balancing the heating rate on both sides of the sealing ring 500 during welding to meet the welding requirements of different materials.

[0102] In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation ring groove 800 is provided in multiple spaced intervals, thereby further increasing the heat dissipation area during welding.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the second connector 300 is used to connect the water-contact equipment connection port pipe and the pipeline 100, a first heat dissipation annular groove 700 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity. When the first connector 200 is connected to the water-contact equipment connection port pipe, by providing the first heat dissipation annular groove 700 in the mounting cavity, the heat-receiving area of ​​the second connector 301 during welding is increased. At the same time, it improves the problem that the second connector 300 near the sealing ring 500 heats up quickly and the second connector 300 far from the sealing ring 500 heats up slowly due to the uneven thickness of the second connector 300 or the water-contact equipment connection port pipe, thereby meeting the welding requirements between different materials.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation ring groove 700 is provided in multiple spaced intervals, thereby further increasing the heat-receiving area during welding.

[0105] In some embodiments, to further improve the heat treatment effect during welding, a second heat dissipation ring groove 800 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second connecting pipe 301. The provision of the second heat dissipation ring groove 800 increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the second connecting pipe 301 during welding, thereby balancing the heating rate on both sides of the sealing ring 500 during welding to meet the welding requirements of different materials.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation ring groove 800 is provided in multiple spaced intervals, thereby further increasing the heat dissipation area during welding.

[0107] In addition, this application also provides an air conditioning system, which includes a temperature regulation module that regulates the room temperature by adjusting the flow rate, pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, and maintains the room temperature stable.

[0108] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system includes a water circulation module, which changes the water temperature within the water circulation module under the action of the temperature regulation module. The water circulation module includes pipes 100, which are connected to each other by connecting components.

[0109] In some embodiments, the connection component includes a first connector 200, which includes a first connecting tube 201 for fixed connection to one end of the pipeline 100.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first connector 200 includes a first retaining ring 202, which is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting pipe 201 away from the pipe 100. By setting the first connector 200 and installing the first connector 200 onto the opening end of the pipe 100, the first connector 200 serves as a transition part to prepare for the connection of the pipe 100 with the pipe 100 whose opening direction is opposite to its own.

[0111] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes a second connector 300, which includes a second connecting tube 301 for fixed connection to one end of the pipeline 100.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second connector 300 includes a second retaining ring 302, which is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 301. By setting the second connector 300 and installing the second connector 300 onto the open end of the pipe 100, the second connector 300 can be subsequently connected and engaged with the first connector 200.

[0113] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes a snap-fit ​​component 400, which includes a fixing portion 410 for providing a force point for the snap-fit ​​component 400 to fix the connection between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300.

[0114] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 includes a clamping member 420, which includes a clamping plate 421. The clamping plate 421 is arc-shaped and has a through slot. The slot is used to snap the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302. When the open ends of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 abut against each other, the opposite sidewalls of the slot abut against the outer peripheral walls of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302. At this time, the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 pass through the slot to the side of the clamping plate 421 away from the first connecting pipe 201, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​fixation of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 by the snap-fit ​​assembly 400.

[0115] In the above technical solution, by setting up the snap-fit ​​assembly 400, when the operator operates the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 to make the open ends of the first snap ring 202 and the second snap ring 302 abut together, and then operates the fixing part 410 to make the opposite side walls of the slot abut against the opposite side walls of the first snap ring 202 and the second snap ring 302 respectively, the opposite side walls of the slot apply opposing abutting forces to the first snap ring 202 and the second snap ring 302 respectively, and connect and fix the first snap ring 202 and the second snap ring 302 to achieve the connection and fixation of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, thereby minimizing the material limitations and solving the problem of connection difficulties caused by using different metal materials at both ends or using metal and non-metal materials at both ends between different pipes 100 or water-related equipment, which facilitates the interconnection between pipes 100 and water-related equipment in the water circulation module.
