Detailed Implementation

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 9 The integrated module according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes: a gas-liquid separator 100, a valve island assembly 200 and a mounting bracket 300. The valve island assembly 200 includes a valve island 22, and the mounting bracket 300 includes a mounting member 31. The mounting member 31 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 100 and is used to support the valve island 22.

[0039] Specifically, the mounting component 31 is used to connect the gas-liquid separator 100 to realize the assembly of the mounting bracket 300. After the mounting bracket 300 is assembled, the mounting component 31 can also be used to support the valve island 22. Thus, the valve island 22 can be installed on the gas-liquid separator 100, thereby realizing the installation of the valve island 22 and improving the structural stability of the valve island 22.

[0040] Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 includes multiple components, such as an electronic expansion valve 102, a four-way valve 101, a one-way solenoid valve 105, an oil separator 500, a gas-liquid separator 100, a high-pressure valve 103, and a low-pressure valve 104. The valve island 22 is equipped with multiple connectors, all of which are used to connect valve bodies (such as the four-way valve 101, the low-pressure valve 104, the high-pressure valve 103, and the one-way solenoid valve 105). This allows for a compact arrangement of multiple valve bodies, reducing the length of connecting pipes, decreasing pipe resistance and pressure loss, thereby reducing heat loss, lowering costs, improving space utilization, and reducing layout difficulty.

[0041] During assembly, each component can be fixed on the valve island 22 and then fixed on the gas-liquid separator 100 via the mounting bracket 300. The above operations are completed in the pre-assembly stage, and then fixed together on the housing 400, saving the time and installation personnel required for the final assembly.

[0042] According to the integrated module of this utility model embodiment, by setting the valve island assembly 200, multiple valve bodies can be compactly arranged to reduce the length of connecting pipes, thereby reducing pipe resistance and pressure loss, thus reducing heat loss, lowering costs, improving space utilization, and simplifying layout. By setting the mounting bracket 300, the valve island assembly 200 can be installed on the gas-liquid separator 100 without connecting to other structural components. In this way, the vibration of the compressor 600 and piping cannot be transmitted to the structural components through the valve island 22, thus solving the sound radiation problem caused by compressor and piping vibration, improving assembly efficiency, simplifying the structure of the air conditioner 1000, and improving assembly stability.

[0043] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting member 31 includes a first portion 311, which supports the bottom of the valve island 22 and provides vertical support for the valve island 22, thereby improving the support effect. The first portion 311 can be used to connect to and support the valve island 22. The first portion 311 extends horizontally, providing space for the assembly of the valve island 22 and facilitating the adjustment of the mating area between the first portion 311 and the valve island 22, thereby improving the stability of the assembly. For example, the first portion 311 can be constructed as a plate extending horizontally.

[0044] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting component 31 also includes a second part 312 intersecting with the first part 311, which supports the valve island 22. The second part 312 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, which can make full use of the space on the side of the gas-liquid separator 100, facilitates spatial arrangement, and improves the structural compactness within the air conditioner 1000. In addition, since the gas-liquid separator 100 generally extends vertically, the second part 312, connected to the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, can be set to a larger size, is less restricted by space, and helps to increase the contact area between the second part 312 and the gas-liquid separator 100, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 300.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second part 312 is an arc shape extending circumferentially around the gas-liquid separator 100. Generally, the gas-liquid separator 100 is cylindrical, and the second part 312 is an arc shape extending circumferentially around the gas-liquid separator 100, so that the second part 312 can better fit the outer peripheral surface or outer surface of the gas-liquid separator 100, improve the tightness of the fit between the second part 312 and the gas-liquid separator 100, and increase the contact area. When the second part 312 is fixedly connected to the gas-liquid separator 100, the stability of the connection can be improved.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second part 312 is fixedly connected to the gas-liquid separator 100 by welding, screwing, or riveting.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second part 312 is provided with a first mounting hole 301 for connecting the gas-liquid separator 100. During assembly, fasteners 310 can be used to pass through the first mounting hole 301 to position the second part 312 on the gas-liquid separator 100 to achieve a fixed connection. The structure is simple and easy to construct.

[0048] Alternatively, the second part 312 can also be fixedly connected to the surface of the gas-liquid separator 100 by means of welding or other methods.

[0049] Alternatively, the second part 312 can be connected via fastener 310 or by welding. (Combination) Figure 4 Multiple first mounting holes 301 can be provided, and these holes can be arranged symmetrically to improve connection stability. The second part 312 can also have multiple weld points 305, which can be arranged symmetrically to further improve connection stability. The connection can be achieved through a combination of screw and welding. For example, positioning protrusions can be provided on the gas-liquid separator 100, and positioning holes or protrusions can be provided on the second part 312 of the mounting bracket 300; alternatively, positioning recesses can be provided on the gas-liquid separator 100, and positioning recesses can be provided on the second part 312 of the mounting bracket 300.

[0050] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8In some other embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is connected to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, and the first part 311 is located between the valve island 22 and the gas-liquid separator 100. Specifically, the first part 311 is connected to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, so that the first part 311 can be connected to the gas-liquid separator 100, and after connection, the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100 can support the first part 311. The first part 311 can also support the valve island 22, thereby improving the structural stability after assembly. The connection of the first part 311 to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100 allows the space at the top of the gas-liquid separator 100 to be utilized when assembling the valve island 22. After the valve island 22 is assembled, the devices connected to the valve island 22 can also be connected to the valve island 22 at the top of the gas-liquid separator 100, which facilitates the flexible arrangement of other devices.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is provided with a positioning structure for connecting the valve island 22. Optionally, the positioning structure may be a first positioning hole 303. The first positioning hole 303 can be used for the fixed connection between the first part 311 and the valve island 22 by fasteners 310, thereby connecting the valve island 22 to the first part 311, which helps to improve the stability of the connection, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0052] It should be noted that the positioning structure can be a hole, a convex hull, or other structures. The function of the positioning structure can be solely positioning, or it can combine positioning and connection.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is provided with a positioning hole for connecting the gas-liquid separator 100. The positioning hole can be used for the fixed connection between the second part 312 and the gas-liquid separator 100 by fasteners 310, so that the first part 311 can be connected to the gas-liquid separator 100, which helps to improve the stability of the connection, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0054] Optionally, in some other embodiments of this utility model, in conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the first part 311 can be connected by fastener 310 and solder joint 305, which is beneficial to improve connection stability and has a simple structure that is easy to operate.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 may not have a positioning hole and may be connected by welding.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the valve island assembly 200 further includes a heat exchanger 21. The valve island 22 has multiple fluid channels, and the heat exchanger 21 has a first heat exchange channel and a second heat exchange channel that exchange heat with each other. The first heat exchange channel and the second heat exchange channel are respectively connected to the corresponding fluid channels. The mounting bracket 300 further includes a support member 32 connected to the mounting member 31, which supports the heat exchanger 21. The support member 32 is used to support the heat exchanger 21, improving the stability of the heat exchanger 21 during operation and improving the stability after assembly. Thus, the mounting bracket 300 can install the valve island assembly 200 on the gas-liquid separator 100, and the mounting bracket 300 can provide support for both the valve island 22 and the heat exchanger 21 of the valve island assembly 200, thereby improving the structural stability after assembly.

[0057] Therefore, fixing the valve island 22 with the mounting bracket 300 can improve the structural stability of the air conditioner 1000 after assembly. The heat exchanger 21 has heat exchange channels, and the first heat exchange element is supported by the support member 32, which can improve structural stability.

[0058] Furthermore, the first part 311 connects to the upper end of the second part 312, which extends vertically and is used to connect the support member 32. Specifically, the second part 312 can be used to connect the support member 32 below the first part 311, which helps to improve the overall integrity of the mounting bracket 300, distribute the stress, and improve structural stability. During assembly, the support member 32 can support the heat exchanger 21 connected below the valve island 22.

[0059] Specifically, the heat exchanger 21 is connected below the valve island 22, and the heat exchangers 21 can be stacked in the height direction to further improve the space occupation of the valve island assembly 200, improve the compactness, and also avoid the heat exchangers 21 being inverted, so as to improve the heat exchange uniformity of the heat exchangers 21 and improve the heat exchange effect.

[0060] Optionally, the heat exchanger 21 can be a plate heat exchanger, a plate-fin heat exchanger, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, etc. The present invention does not limit the structure of the heat exchanger 21.

[0061] Combination Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, both the first part 311 and the support member 32 extend in a direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100. This provides assembly space for supporting or connecting the valve island 22 and the heat exchanger 21. In a direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100, the support member 32 extends beyond the first part 311, increasing the mating area between the support member 32 and the heat exchanger 21 and improving the support effect. Specifically, the first part 311 is fixedly connected to the valve island 22, resulting in high structural stability. Therefore, the distance the first part 311 extends in the direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100 can be smaller than that of the support member 32. The support member 32 can directly support the heat exchanger 21 below it without a fixed connection; therefore, the extension distance can be larger, improving the support or bearing effect of the heat exchanger 21.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is an arc-shaped plate extending circumferentially around the gas-liquid separator 100. Since the second part 312 is connected to the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, the first end of the first part 311 intersecting with the second part 312 is also close to the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100. By setting the first part 311 as an arc-shaped plate extending circumferentially around the gas-liquid separator 100, one end of the first part 311 can be close to the gas-liquid separator 100, and the mating area between the first part 311 and the gas-liquid separator 100 can be increased, so that the gas-liquid separator 100 can provide support for the first part 311.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is provided with a second mounting hole 302 for connecting the valve island 22. During assembly, the valve island 22 can be positioned on the first part 311 by fasteners 310 passing through the second mounting hole 302 to achieve a fixed connection. The structure is simple and easy to construct.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is perpendicular to the second part 312; the support member 32 is perpendicular to the second part 312, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the second part 312, the first part 311, and the support member 32, and helps to improve the overall structural stability of the mounting bracket 300, and the structure is simple and easy to construct.

[0065] Specifically, in combination Figure 7The first part 311 and the support member 32 extend in opposite directions in the horizontal direction. This allows the first part 311 to extend towards the gas-liquid separator 100, so that a portion of the first part 311 is stacked and connected to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, improving connection stability and utilizing the upper space of the gas-liquid separator 100. The support member 32 is connected below the first part 311 via the second part 312. Since the first part 311 is located on the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, the lower support member 32 is located on the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100. The support member 32 extends away from the gas-liquid separator 100, utilizing the space on the side of the gas-liquid separator 100, and optimizing the spatial arrangement while achieving stable assembly of the mounting bracket 300.

[0066] Combination Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first part 311 is provided with a through hole 304, through which the inlet and / or outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 passes. Specifically, generally, the top of the gas-liquid separator 100 has an upwardly extending inlet and outlet, which reduces the planar space at the top of the gas-liquid separator 100. To improve the connection stability between the first part 311 and the gas-liquid separator 100, the mating area between the first part 311 and the gas-liquid separator 100 can be increased. For example, a through hole 304 is provided on the first part 311. During assembly, the inlet or outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 passes through the through hole 304. This avoids the location of the inlet or outlet, and the pipes of the inlet and outlet can also provide support for the first part 311, allowing the mounting bracket 300 to be hung on the top of the gas-liquid separator 100.

[0067] Optionally, depending on the area of ​​the first portion 311, only one through-hole 304 may be provided, passing through one of the inlet and outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 during assembly. In this way, the first portion 311 can mate with approximately half the area of ​​the top wall. When it is necessary to increase the area of ​​the first portion 311 or to increase the area of ​​the first portion 311 relative to the gas-liquid separator 100, two through-holes 304 may be provided, with the inlet and outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 passing through two separate through-holes 304; or a larger through-hole 304 may be provided, allowing the inlet and outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 to pass through the same through-hole 304.

[0068] Optionally, the first part 311 may also have a first clearance notch (not shown in the figure) that avoids the inlet and / or outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100. This avoids the inlet and outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100 and increases the mating area between the first part 311 and the gas-liquid separator 100. When the first part 311 avoids the inlet or outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100, it needs to be mounted vertically on the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100. However, by using the first clearance notch to avoid the inlet or outlet of the gas-liquid separator 100, the first part 311 can be mounted horizontally or vertically on the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100, improving assembly flexibility.

[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 7 The second part 312 is provided with a second clearance notch 306, which is used to avoid the connection pipe of the device to improve the structural compactness.

[0070] Optionally, combined Figure 7 The valve island 22 is provided with a second support 221, which can be connected to the inner wall of the air conditioner 1000 or the partition inside the air conditioner 1000 to improve the structural stability of the valve island 22 or the valve island assembly 200.

[0071] Combination Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the support member 32 includes a main body 321 and a flange 322. The main body 321 extends in the horizontal direction and is connected to the flange 322. The flange 322 is located at one end of the main body 321 away from the gas-liquid separator 100 and extends in the vertical direction. The heat exchanger 21 is supported on the main body 321.

[0072] Specifically, the support member 32 includes a main body 321 that supports or supports the heat exchanger 21 in the vertical direction, and a flanged part 322 that supports or limits the first separator in the horizontal direction. In this way, the support member 32 can provide support for the heat exchanger 21 from two directions and can wrap a part of the heat exchanger 21, which helps to improve the stability after assembly.

[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 4 The support member 32 can consist of only the main body 321 extending in the horizontal direction, which is simple in structure and easy to assemble.

[0074] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the air conditioner 1000 further includes a first bracket 106, which is connected to the end of the gas-liquid separator 100 away from the valve island assembly 200.

[0075] Optionally, combined Figure 5In the vertical direction, there is a gap between the main body 321 and the heat exchanger 21, which can be used to place or attach sponge or rubber to achieve a shock absorption effect.

[0076] Optionally, the mounting bracket 300 can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy, and can be fixed to the carbon steel gas-liquid separator 100 by welding or fasteners 310.

[0077] The specific flow path of the refrigerant circuit in this embodiment is as follows:

[0078] The four-way valve 101 has a first interface, a second interface, a third interface and a fourth interface, and the heat exchanger 21 has a first side inlet end, a first side outlet end, a second side inlet end and a second side outlet end.

[0079] The refrigerant discharged from the compressor 600 passes through the oil separator 500 and enters the first port through the connecting pipe. After passing through the second port, it enters the low-pressure valve 104 connector and then the evaporator (i.e., the indoor heat exchanger). After exchanging heat with the environment, the refrigerant enters the high-pressure valve 103 through the high-pressure valve 103 connector. After flowing through the high-pressure valve 103, it enters the first side inlet. After flowing out from the first side outlet, the refrigerant is divided into two paths. One path flows through the enthalpy-increasing branch. In the enthalpy-increasing branch, the refrigerant is further throttled by an electronic expansion valve 102 before entering the second side inlet. After sufficient heat exchange in the heat exchanger 21, the refrigerant enters the compressor 600 enthalpy-increasing port through the connecting pipe from the second side outlet. Another refrigerant enters the condenser (i.e., the outdoor heat exchanger) after passing through another electronic expansion valve 102. After exchanging heat with the outdoor environment, the refrigerant enters the third port and then enters the intake pipe through the fourth port. It undergoes gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator 100, and then enters the return port of the compressor 600 through the exhaust pipe and connecting pipeline to complete one refrigerant cycle in the refrigerant circuit.

[0080] The flow path integration module and other components and operations of the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiments of this utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting bracket 300 has two surfaces: a fixing surface for fixing the valve island 22 and a supporting surface for supporting the heat exchanger 21.

[0082] The mounting bracket 300 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, representing two specific embodiments.

[0083] Combination Figures 2 to 6In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 includes a mounting member 31 and a support member 32 for supporting the heat exchanger 21. The mounting member 31 includes a first portion 311 for fixed connection to the valve island 22 and a second portion 312 for connection to the gas-liquid separator 100. The first portion 311 is connected to the upper end of the second portion 312 and extends in a direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100. The second portion 312 is connected to the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 100. The support member 32 is connected to the lower end of the second portion 312 and extends in a direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100, and the support member 32 extends beyond the first portion 311. The second portion 312 is disposed between the first portion 311 and the support member 32, and can be used to connect the first portion 311 and the support member 32, and also to connect the gas-liquid separator 100.

[0084] Specifically, the second part 312 is arc-shaped to fit the arc-shaped outer peripheral surface of the gas-liquid separator 100, so that the second part 312 can fit the surface of the gas-liquid separator 100. The second part 312 is fixed to the gas-liquid separator 100 by screws, or other connection methods such as riveting can also be used.

[0085] In the circumferential direction, the first part 311 extends in an arc shape to conform to the surface of the gas-liquid separator 100. The first part 311 is constructed to form a plane to facilitate mating with the plate surface of the valve island 22. The valve island 22 and the first part 311 are stacked and fixedly connected. The valve island 22 is fixed to the first part 311 by screws, or other connection methods such as riveting can also be used.

[0086] The support member 32 is constructed as a plane to better support the lower surface of the heat exchanger 21. When the lower surface of the heat exchanger 21 is not planar, the support member 32 can also be constructed in a shape that fits the external shape of the heat exchanger 21 to improve the support effect.

[0087] Combination Figures 7 to 9 In another embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 includes a mounting member 31 and a support member 32 for supporting the heat exchanger 21. The mounting member 31 includes a first portion 311 for fixed connection to the valve island 22 and a second portion 312 for connection to the gas-liquid separator 100. The first portion 311 is connected to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100. The upper end of the second portion 312 is connected to the first portion 311 and extends downward. The support member 32 is connected to the lower end of the second portion 312 and extends in a direction away from the gas-liquid separator 100. The extension direction of the support member 32 is opposite to that of the first portion 311. The second portion 312 is disposed between the first portion 311 and the support member 32, and can be used to connect the first portion 311 and the support member 32, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the mounting bracket 300.

[0088] Specifically, the first part 311 is constructed as a plane, which can both conform to the top wall of the gas-liquid separator 100 for stacked connection, and also stack with the plate surface of the valve island 22. After assembly, the first part 311 is stacked between the gas-liquid separator 100 and the valve island 22, which improves structural stability and facilitates spatial arrangement. The first part 311 is fixed to the gas-liquid separator 100 with screws, or other connection methods such as riveting can also be used. The valve island 22 is fixed to the first part 311 with screws, or other connection methods such as riveting can also be used.

[0089] The second part 312 is constructed as a flat plate extending vertically, which connects the support member 32 below the first part 311, allowing the support member 32 to support the heat exchanger 21 below the valve island 22. The flat plate shape of the second part 312 has high structural strength and can effectively distribute the stress.

[0090] The support member 32 includes a main body 321 and a flange 322. The main body 321 is configured as a plane, which can better support the lower surface of the heat exchanger 21. When the lower surface of the heat exchanger 21 is not planar, the support member 32 can also be configured to conform to the external shape of the heat exchanger 21 to improve the support effect. The flange 322 is connected to the outer periphery of at least one side of the main body 321 and extends upward to limit and support the heat exchanger 21 in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the support effect.

[0091] It should be noted that the vertical direction can be up and down, and the horizontal direction can be left and right or front and back.
