[0026] Example
[0027] In the existing technology, some air conditioners have temperature sensors installed on the surface of the air conditioner pipes to monitor their operating status in a timely manner. However, the current installation method for temperature sensors involves first welding a sleeve to the surface of the air conditioner pipes, then placing the temperature sensor inside the sleeve, and using a spring clamp inside the sleeve to hold and fix the sensor. However, in actual use, the welding process fixes the air conditioner pipes and parts, making it inconvenient for later sorting and recycling. At the same time, the stability of the spring clamp is not good, and there is a possibility of vibration causing it to detach.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an air conditioner pipe temperature sensor clip, including an air conditioner compressor 5. An exhaust pipe 6 and an intake pipe 7 are provided on the top surface of the air conditioner compressor 5. Temperature sensor clip bodies 8 are provided on the surfaces of both the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 6. The temperature sensor clip body 8 located in the sensor slot 2 area is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 0.4mm. This material has excellent strength and is not easily deformed. The temperature sensor clip body 8 located in the air conditioner pipe slot 3 area is made of high-carbon steel, which has elastic recovery and high strength properties, thus facilitating the clipping of the temperature sensor. The main body 8 of the temperature sensor clip is attached to the surface of the exhaust pipe 6 and the intake pipe 7. A sensor limiting plate 1 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the temperature sensor clip body 8. A sensor slot 2 is opened inside the temperature sensor clip body 8. An air conditioning pipe slot 3 is opened on one side of the temperature sensor clip body 8. The air conditioning pipe slot 3 and the sensor slot 2 are interconnected. Two cable tie slots 4 are symmetrically opened on the side of the temperature sensor clip body 8. In order to facilitate disassembly and recycling and to improve the fixing effect of the temperature sensor clip body 8, a metal cable tie 9 is set inside the cable tie slot 4. The metal cable tie 9 wraps around and fits against the surface of the temperature sensor clip body 8. Metal cable ties 9 are respectively attached to the outer walls of the exhaust pipe 6 and the intake pipe 7. A rubber block 12 is bonded to the inner wall of the sensor slot 2 using high-temperature resistant epoxy resin. To facilitate the insertion of the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 into the rubber block 12, the end of the rubber block 12 has a funnel-shaped structure. To ensure a secure fit, the inner diameter of the rubber block 12 is slightly smaller than the diameters of the intake and exhaust temperature sensors 10 and 11, and the inner wall of the rubber block 12 is roughened. To prevent aging of the rubber block 12 from affecting the secure fit, the rubber block 12 can be replaced periodically. Therefore, the rubber block 12 can maintain its position within its lifespan. The two are effectively clamped together. The inner wall of the rubber block 12 on the intake pipe 7 is fixed with the intake temperature sensor 10 by friction, and the inner wall of the rubber block 12 on the exhaust pipe 6 is fixed with the exhaust temperature sensor 11 by friction. The metal cable tie 9 binds and fixes the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 to the inner wall of the temperature sensor buckle body 8. The side wall of the temperature sensor buckle body 8 and the rubber block 12 are provided with a side hole 13. The air conditioning pipe slot 3 is provided with a limit component 14. The side hole 13 is provided with a lifting mechanism 15. The surface of the lifting mechanism 15 is provided with a connecting structure 16. The surface of the connecting structure 16 is provided with a locking component 17.
[0029] To reduce the likelihood of slippage when the temperature sensor clip body 8 is fixed to the air conditioning duct and to increase the stability of the temperature sensor clip body 8 when it is clipped, the limiting component 14 includes rubber strips 1401. Four rubber strips 1401 are symmetrically fixed to the inner wall of the air conditioning duct slot 3. To facilitate the ejection of the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 from the inside of the rubber block 12 for quick separation and maintenance, a lifting mechanism 15 is provided. The lifting mechanism 15 includes a connecting rod 1501, a lifting rod 1502, and a support plate 1503. The connecting rod 1501... The lifting rod 1502 is fixed to the top side of the connecting rod 1501, and the support plate 1503 is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting rod 1501. The exhaust temperature sensor 11 and the intake temperature sensor 10 are located on the top surface of the support plate 1503. To facilitate the operator's operation of raising and lowering the support plate 1503, the connecting rod 1501 and the lifting rod 1502 are symmetrically distributed about the longitudinal central axis of the support plate 1503, forming a "Z"-shaped structure. To reduce the number of parts in the fixed lifting mechanism 15, the following is provided: A connecting structure 16 is provided, which includes a side plate 1601 and a cross plate 1602. The side plate 1601 is fixed to the top side of the connecting rod 1501, and the cross plate 1602 is fixed between the side plates 1601. In order to lock the lifting mechanism 15 and prevent accidental activation of its operation, thereby pushing the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 out of the device surface, a locking component 17 is provided. The locking component 17 includes a trapezoidal screw 1701, a side block 1702, a gripping plate 1703, and a rubber pad 1704. A threaded connection is made to the inside of the horizontal plate 1602. A side block 1702 is threaded to the end of the trapezoidal screw 1701. The side block 1702 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the temperature sensor buckle body 8. A gripping plate 1703 is fixed to the other end of the trapezoidal screw 1701. A rubber pad 1704 is fitted onto the surface of the trapezoidal screw 1701. To prevent the threads on the surface of the trapezoidal screw 1701 from rusting and affecting operation, the side block 1702 is in contact with the side of the horizontal plate 1602. The rubber pad 1704 is clamped between the gripping plate 1703 and the horizontal plate 1602.
[0030] The air conditioner compressor 5, suction pipe 7, and discharge pipe 6 together constitute the compressor body. The compressor body is a 1.5P model manufactured by Shuyang Zhiji Biyi E-commerce Co., Ltd. Its working principle is as follows: The air conditioner compressor 5 draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant through the suction pipe 7. Then, the internal mechanical structure of the air conditioner compressor 5 performs adiabatic compression on the drawn-in gaseous refrigerant. The compression process greatly reduces the volume of the refrigerant gas. According to the gas law, when the gas volume is forcibly reduced, its pressure and temperature will significantly increase. Next, the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The compression process consumes electrical energy, most of which is converted into the internal energy of the refrigerant. Finally, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is forcefully discharged through the compressor's discharge pipe 6. The discharged gas enters the condenser, thus completing the air conditioning cycle cooling.
[0031] Both the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 are model 10KB3950, manufactured by Shuyang County Jingchong Department Store. Their working principle is as follows: utilizing the negative temperature coefficient characteristic of their semiconductor material core—resistance decreases significantly as temperature increases and increases significantly as temperature decreases—the current temperature can be accurately determined by measuring their resistance value and using their known and calibrated resistance-temperature correspondence. This technology is existing public technology and is not within the scope of patent protection; therefore, this solution will not describe it in detail.
[0032] The intake pipe 7 and exhaust pipe 6 in this device are both 8mm in diameter. Therefore, the temperature sensor clip body 8 is also suitable for temperature measurement of cylindrical pipes of the same diameter, but not for pipes of other diameters. In addition, this device is only compatible with the 10KB3950 temperature measurement sensor and is not suitable for other models of temperature measurement sensors.
[0033] In terms of working principle or structural principle, firstly, when it is necessary to monitor the temperature of the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 6, the operator can take out the temperature sensor clip body 8 and press it onto the surfaces of both. The rubber strip 1401 can make multiple contacts with the pipe surface to increase friction and improve the fixing effect. After the clip is in place, the temperature sensor clip body 8 is fixed to the pipe surface using the metal cable tie 9. Then, the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 can monitor the surface temperature of the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 6. If it is necessary to monitor the temperature of the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11, the operator can then proceed with the monitoring. To inspect the exhaust temperature sensor 11, the operator can rotate the trapezoidal screw 1701 using the gripper 1703, thereby disengaging the trapezoidal screw 1701 from the side block 1702. After that, the locking of the horizontal plate 1602 can be released. The operator can then use the lifting rod 1502 to move the connecting rod 1501 and the support plate 1503 upward along the side hole 13, thereby lifting the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11 away from the rubber block 12. The operator can then remove the intake temperature sensor 10 and the exhaust temperature sensor 11.
[0034] In summary, this device has advantages such as ease of maintenance and convenient recycling.
