Current connectors consist of two sleeves that are respectively fitted onto the body pipe and the inlet and outlet water pipes, and then fastened with two sealing rings and bolts, which poses a risk of leakage. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a heat exchanger pipe connection structure. This utility model uses a rubber ring to achieve a sealing effect, and works in conjunction with a fixing ring and long bolts to improve leak prevention performance, making it convenient to use.
[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a heat exchanger pipe connection structure, including a first sleeve and a second sleeve with identical structures, as well as a rubber ring and a fixing ring. The first sleeve and the second sleeve are provided with bearing pipes, and the two bearing pipes are connected together. The rubber ring is sleeved on the two bearing pipes. The fixing ring is located between the first sleeve and the second sleeve, and the fixing ring is provided with a long bolt. The inner end of the long bolt is pressed against the rubber ring.
[0005] The first sleeve has a central hole for installing heat exchanger pipes, the outer side of the bearing pipe has a groove for holding the rubber ring, and the outer edge of the first sleeve has a fixing hole for fixing the fixing ring.
[0006] The rubber ring has rubber holes for fitting onto the bearing tube. The outer surface of the rubber ring has two annular grooves, and a clamping ring is installed in each annular groove. The two annular grooves are symmetrical.
[0007] The clamping ring is long and narrow, with fixing plates at both ends, and the two fixing plates are fastened together with bolts.
[0008] At least two tightening grooves are provided on the outer surface of the rubber ring. The tightening grooves are evenly distributed around the circumference and are located in the middle of the rubber ring.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0019] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0021] Example: Figure 1 It is a heat exchanger pipe connection structure, including a first sleeve 1 and a second sleeve 2 with identical structures, as well as a rubber ring 3 and a fixing ring 4. The first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2 are provided with a support pipe 102, and the two support pipes 102 are connected together. The rubber ring 3 is sleeved on the two support pipes 102. The fixing ring 4 is located between the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2. The fixing ring 4 is provided with a long bolt 5, and the inner end of the long bolt 5 is pressed against the rubber ring 3.
[0022] The first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2 have the same structure and are processed uniformly. Any two sleeves can be connected together for use, resulting in low mold opening costs. The two sleeves are respectively connected to the pipe 7 and the inlet and outlet water pipes 8 of the heat exchanger body. The joint is sealed by the internal rubber ring 3 to prevent leakage. The two sleeves are fixed together by the fixing ring, and the rubber ring is squeezed again by the long bolt 5 for better sealing effect.
[0023] Figure 2This is a cross-sectional view of the first sleeve. The first sleeve and the second sleeve have the same structure. This embodiment uses the first sleeve as an example. The first sleeve 1 is provided with a central hole 101 for installing heat exchanger pipes. The outer side of the bearing pipe 102 is provided with a groove 103 for holding the rubber ring 3. The outer edge of the first sleeve 1 is provided with a fixing hole 105 for fixing the fixing ring 4.
[0024] The two sleeves have their support rings 102 joined together to support the external rubber ring. A gap exists between the two support rings when joined. To prevent leakage from this gap, this invention incorporates a rubber ring. The rubber ring has a ring-shaped structure and a relatively large thickness to improve sealing performance. A groove 103 is provided to limit the two ends of the rubber ring 3. When the rubber ring is clamped by the clamping ring 6, causing contraction at the clamping point and deformation at other locations, the two ends deform due to compression, resulting in better contact with the groove 103 and improving the sealing effect. A fixing ring 104 is provided on the outer edge of the two sleeves for fixing the internal retaining ring 4, thus connecting the two sleeves.
[0025] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the rubber ring 3. The rubber ring 3 is provided with rubber holes 301 for fitting onto the bearing tube 102. The outer surface of the rubber ring 3 is provided with two annular grooves 302, and a clamping ring 6 is provided in the annular grooves 302. The two annular grooves 302 are symmetrical.
[0026] The rubber ring 3 is clamped by two clamping rings 6. The clamping point is squeezed to make the connection between the ring and the bearing tube tighter and the leakage prevention better. This causes deformation at both ends and in the middle. The deformation at both ends makes better contact with the groove, further improving the leakage prevention effect. The deformation in the middle may cause it to lift up. This utility model sets a long bolt to tighten the middle, further improving the sealing performance.
[0027] The clamping ring 6 is elongated and has fixing plates 601 at both ends, which are fastened together with bolts. The clamping ring is made of stainless steel and its length is less than the outer diameter of the rubber ring. When tightened with bolts, it can contract to compress the rubber ring, thereby better gripping the bearing tube.
[0028] At least two tightening grooves 303 are provided on the outer surface of the rubber ring 3. The tightening grooves 303 are evenly distributed around the circumference and are located in the middle of the rubber ring 3.
[0029] The inner end of the long bolt 5 is a round head 501, and the tightening groove 303 is an arc-shaped groove.
[0030] The circular clamping structure allows for better contact between the long bolts and the rubber ring, preventing them from popping out. In this embodiment, four long bolts are evenly distributed around the circumference, which can clamp the rubber ring from four directions.
[0031] Figure 4This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the retaining ring 4. The retaining ring 4 is a ring structure formed by splicing two halves together, and a rubber pad is provided on the splicing surface. The retaining ring 4 is provided with a retaining ring hole 401, and the inner diameter L1 of the retaining ring hole 401 is larger than the outer diameter L2 of the rubber ring 3.
[0032] L1 is greater than L2, so that the retaining ring and the rubber ring do not contact each other, leaving space for the clamping ring 6 to be fixed.
[0033] The retaining ring 4 has a threaded hole 403 radially provided at the middle position, and the long bolt 5 is provided in the threaded hole 403 shown.
[0034] The tightness of the long bolts can be freely adjusted, resulting in a better sealing effect.
[0035] The fixing ring 4 has connection holes 402 on both sides of its outer edge for fixed connection with the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2.
[0036] The two ends of the retaining ring are fixedly connected to the two sleeves respectively, so that the two sleeves are connected and fixed.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
