Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-installation technology of pipes, and specifically refers to a direct-insertion air conditioning drain pipe installation structure. Background technology:
[0002] Air conditioning drain pipes are a key component of air conditioning systems, specifically designed for the efficient discharge of condensate from the evaporator and to prevent dripping from the indoor unit. They typically use corrosion-resistant PVC flexible or rigid pipes, with a suitable slope design (≥1%) to ensure gravity drainage, and are secured to the building structure with pipe clamps. The structure must include sealed connections (to prevent refrigerant condensation), insect-proof backflow prevention devices, and an insulation layer (to prevent secondary condensation), with the end connected to the building's drainage system or outdoors. Proper installation and regular maintenance (such as cleaning and anti-clogging) directly affect drainage efficiency and effectively prevent leaks, mold growth, and damage to the building structure.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0023] See Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shows a direct-insertion air conditioner drain pipe installation structure, comprising a first body 1 and a second body 2 that interlock and clamp the pipe 3. The first body 1 is equipped with a disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 for fastening onto the air conditioner water pan 4. Multiple convex-concave mating connection parts are provided between the outer wall of the pipe 3 and the inner walls of the first body 1 and the second body 2. The pipe 1 is clamped and fixed by the first body 1 and the second body 2, and the pipe 3 is quickly installed onto the air conditioner water pan 4 by fastening it with the disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 on the first body 1. The convex-concave mating connection parts ensure a stable connection between the pipe 3 and the first body 1 and the second body 2. The disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 replaces traditional bolts for pipe 3 installation, eliminating the need for tools, resulting in high efficiency and wide applicability.
[0024] The air conditioning water tray 4 is provided with a connector 41 for installing the pipe 3. The base of the connector 41 is provided with a locking seat 42 for engaging with the disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5. The end of the disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 is provided with a fastening part 52 that can be elastically fastened to the locking seat 42. By using the fastening part 52 on the disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 to elastically fasten to the locking seat 42 of the air conditioning water tray 4, the pipe 3 and the connector 41 are axially limited, so that the pipe 3 can be fixed on the connector 41 after installation.
[0025] The end of the pipe 3 is provided with a first tight-fitting part 31 in a matrix waveform. The inner walls of the first body 1 and the second body 2 are respectively provided with a second tight-fitting part 11 and a third tight-fitting part 21 that can match and fit tightly with the first tight-fitting part 31. The outer wall of the connector 41 gradually tapers, and the end of the pipe 3 is tapered and fitted onto the connector 41. The inner walls of the first body 1 and the second body 2 are arc-shaped and fit against the pipe 3. By making both the connector 41 and the pipe 3 tapered, the pipe 3 can be quickly fitted onto the connector 41, and the elastic deformation of the pipe 3 can tightly fit onto the connector 41. Furthermore, the second tight-fitting part 11 and the third tight-fitting part 21 on the first body 1 and the second body 2 cooperate to clamp the first tight-fitting part 31 on the pipe 3, thus fixing the pipe 3 to the first body 1 and the second body 2 as a whole.
[0026] The disassembly and assembly connecting arm 5 includes an elastic connecting part 51 connected to the outer wall of the first main body 1, a fastening part 52 formed on the elastic connecting part 51 and extending to both sides along the axial direction, and a long arm operating part 53.

[0030] In summary, when using this utility model, the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are first clamped and fixed onto the pipe 3. The first latching arm 13 and the second latching arm 14 are matched and fastened with the first latching block 22 and the second latching block 23 to realize the fixed connection of the first main body 1, the second main body 2 and the pipe 3 into a whole. Furthermore, the pipe 3 is sleeved onto the connector 41 of the air conditioning water pan 4. The detachable connecting arm 5 on the first main body 1 is fastened to the locking seat 42 to realize the axial fixed connection between the pipe 3 and the air conditioning water pan 4. The T-slot 12 is used to dock with the locking seat 42 and the protrusion 43 for positioning to realize the rotation limit of the pipe 3.
