Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration maintenance technology, specifically to a fully enclosed compressor root pipe connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In refrigeration systems, fully enclosed compressors are widely used in various devices such as air conditioners and refrigerators. As the core component of the refrigeration system, the stable operation of the compressor is crucial. However, fracture at the root of the compressor copper tubes is one of the common failures in refrigeration systems, with complex causes and requiring sophisticated repair techniques.

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to handle this type of failure. The first is to directly replace the compressor, which is costly and wastes resources. The second method involves cutting open the hermetic compressor casing, removing the internal components, welding and replacing the broken pipes, cleaning all parts, reassembling, and finally performing explosion-proof welding. Although this method can preserve important internal components of the compressor, it is complex and requires significant time and labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
