Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

The present embodiments provide a crimp tube assembly, which is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the pressure pipe assembly is used for an air conditioning pipe 30, and the air conditioning pipe 30 refers to an evaporator copper pipe. The evaporator is used for achieving the refrigeration purpose by utilizing the fact that liquid low-temperature refrigerant is easy to evaporate under low pressure, is converted into vapor and absorbs cooled heat. The evaporator copper pipe is used for transmitting a refrigerant. The crimp tube assembly comprises: a mounting seat 10 and a pipe press plate 20, wherein the pipe press plate 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10. By the rotating mode, the pipe pressing plate 20 is easier to operate and control, and labor is saved when the air conditioning pipe 30 is pressed.

Specifically, the mounting seat 10 is opened with a receiving groove 101, and the receiving groove 101 is used for placing the air-conditioning duct 30; the mount 10 may be understood as a part of an air conditioner bracket in which the air conditioning duct 30 is seated in the receiving groove 101. Wherein the groove wall surface of the receiving groove 101 and the outer wall surface of the air-conditioning duct 30 are matched in shape with each other. The gap between the two is reduced, so that the air conditioning pipe 30 is better covered.

The tube pressing plate 20 is arranged on one side of the containing groove 101 and is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 10, the tube pressing plate 20 is provided with a first position 201 and a second position 202, the tube pressing plate 20 is covered on the containing groove 101 when in the first position, the tube pressing plate 20 is arranged far away from the containing groove 101 when in the second position 202, and the tube pressing plate 20 is rotatably switched between the first position 201 and the second position 202; the fixing of the tube pressing plate 20 and the mounting seat 10 is generally completed, and then the air-conditioning tube 30 is placed in the receiving groove 101, and the pressing of the air-conditioning tube 30 is completed by rotating the tube pressing plate 20 from the second position 202 to the first position 201.

The mounting base 10 includes a first fastener 130, the tube platen 20 includes a second fastener 230, and the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230 are configured to mate when the tube platen 20 is in the first position 201. Thus, the tube platen 20 can be fixed to the mounting base 10 by the fastening of the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230. And the disengagement of the first and

second fasteners

130 and 230 is also reduced by the fastening, thereby preventing the air-conditioning duct 30 from being disengaged from the receiving recess 101.

In the technical solution of the present embodiment, when the air-conditioning duct 30 is fixed, the air-conditioning duct 30 is placed in the receiving groove 101. The duct presser plate 20 is then rotated to press the air-conditioning duct 30 through the duct presser plate 20. And the tube platen 20 is fixed to the mounting base 10 by the mating fastening of the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230. The operation is simple and convenient by rotating the tube pressing plate 20, and the efficiency of fixing the air conditioning tube 30 is improved. The condition that the tube platen 20 is separated from the first position 201 is reduced by the matching fastening of the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230, so that the tube platen 20 is always fixed on the mounting base 10.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to effectively rotate the tube platen 20 on the mounting seat 10, the tube platen 20 includes a plate body 210 and a rotating shaft 220, and the rotating shaft 220 is disposed on the plate body 210; the mounting seat 10 includes a seat body 110 and a plug portion 120, the seat body 110 forms a receiving slot 101, the plug portion 120 is disposed on a side of the seat body 110 close to the receiving slot 101, the plug portion 120 is provided with a slot 121, and the rotating shaft 220 is disposed in the slot 121.

The rotation of the rotating shaft 220 is limited by the slot 121, and the rotating shaft 220 rotates in the slot 121, so that the pipe pressure plate 20 is switched between the first position 201 and the second position 202 on the mounting seat 10. Further, the restriction of the rotation shaft 220 by the insertion part 120 prevents the tube platen 20 from moving up and down, and restricts the moving direction of the tube platen 20 so that the tube platen 20 can only rotate.

Referring to fig. 5 to 9, in the embodiment of the present application, to facilitate the installation of the tube pressing plate 20, the insertion slot 121 includes an insertion section 121a and an extension section 121b, and the extension section 121b extends from the insertion section 121a toward the receiving slot 101. When the tube press plate 20 is initially installed, the rotation shaft 220 is disposed in the insertion section 121 a. After the installation of the air conditioning duct 30 is completed, the rotating duct pressing plate 20 is rotated from the first position 201 to the second position 202 by means of rotation. When the tube pressing plate 20 is pushed to move, the rotating shaft 220 moves from the inserting section 121a to the extending section 121b, and when the rotating shaft 220 moves to one end of the extending section 121b far away from the inserting section 121a, the tube pressing plate 20 is installed in place, and pressing and fixing of the air-conditioning tube 30 are completed.

It is understood that the initial position of the tube platen 20 is spaced apart from the receiving groove 101, which reduces interference with the arrangement of the air-conditioning tubes 30 when the air-conditioning tubes 30 are installed.

In addition, if the pipe platen 20 is subjected to an external force, such as a shock, etc., it is easy to push the pipe platen 20 to move along the extension section 121b, and the random movement of the pipe platen 20 may interfere with the installation of the air-conditioning duct 30. In order to reduce the tube pressing plate 20 from moving in the extension segment 121b, the extension segment 121b extends in an arc shape, and the extension segment 121b protrudes away from the seat body 110.

The inner wall surfaces of the insertion section 121a and the extension section 121b are matched with the outer side surface of the rotating shaft 220, and can also be tightly matched, and the moving resistance of the rotating shaft 220 is increased through the arc arrangement. If the rotating shaft 220 is moved, the pushing force of the tube pressing plate 20 is required to overcome the resistance of the extension section 121b, and the pushing force generated by general vibration is difficult to overcome the resistance generated by the extension section 121b, so that the random movement of the tube pressing plate 20 is reduced. It should be added that the extension segment 121b may also be convex toward the seat body 110. The movement of the tube press plate 20 also needs to overcome the resistance of the extension 121 b.

In order to further prevent the tube pressing plate 20 from moving in any direction, two insertion parts 120 are provided, the two insertion parts 120 are arranged along the direction of the rotation axis of the tube pressing plate 20, the rotation shaft 220 includes a first shaft 221 and a second shaft 222, one insertion groove 121 is correspondingly provided with the first shaft 221, and the other insertion groove 121 is correspondingly provided with the second shaft 222. Thus, on the rotational axis of the tube platen 20, one of the mating portions 120 completes the definition of the first shaft 221, and the other mating portion 120 completes the definition of the second shaft 222, thereby preventing the tube platen 20 from moving up and down in the direction along the rotational axis.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to better complete the fixation of the tube pressing plate 20 and the mounting base 10, the first fastening member 130 is located on a side of the base body 110 away from the inserting portion 120, the second fastening member 230 is located on a side of the plate body 210 away from the rotating shaft 220, a groove 131 is disposed on an end of the first fastening member 130 away from the receiving groove 101, a barb portion 231 is disposed on an end of the second fastening member 230 away from the plate body 210, and the barb portion 231 is fastened in the groove 131. The first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230 are prevented from disengaging by the snap-fit engagement of the barbs 231 and the channels 131. Thus, the tube platen 20 is not easily separated from the mounting seat 10 even if it is affected by an external force.

Further, when the rotating shaft 220 of the tube platen 20 is pushed to move along the extending section 121b, in order to enable the tube platen 20 to be easily matched and fixed with the mounting base 10, the first fastener 130 is formed with an insertion space, the insertion space is communicated with the groove 131, and the surface of the insertion space facing the second fastener 230 is the inclined surface 132; second fastener 230 has a guiding surface 232 that matches the sloping surface 132. The slant surface 132 of the first fastener 130 extends in a direction gradually away from the second fastener 230, such that when the tube platen 20 and the mounting base 10 are fixed, the guide surface 232 of the second fastener 230 moves along the slant surface 132 of the first fastener 130 until the barb portion 231 snaps into the groove 131.

In order to better accomplish the fixing of the tube pressing plate 20 to the air conditioning tube 30, the surface of the plate body 210 facing the receiving groove 101 is a pressing surface 211, and the pressing surface 211 is matched with the outer wall of the received air conditioning tube 30. After the tube pressing plate 20 moves to the first position 201, the pressing surface 211 of the tube pressing plate 20 can be well matched with the shape of the outer wall of the air-conditioning tube 30, gaps between the pressing surface and the outer wall are reduced, the tube pressing plate 20 is enabled to be better attached to the air-conditioning tube 30, and the stability of fixing the air-conditioning tube 30 is improved.

When the air conditioner is repaired, the air conditioning duct 30 may need to be disassembled, so that the first fastening member 130 and the second fastening member 230 are separated from each other in order to facilitate the stress of the duct pressing plate 20, and the plate body 210 is provided with the through hole 212, and the through hole 212 is used for being pulled by a fastener. The tube panel 20 itself has some deformability, and by pulling the edge of the through hole 212, the second fastener 230 will deform, such that a gap will be created between the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230, and then under continued force, both the first fastener 130 and the second fastener 230 disengage, completing the opening of the tube panel 20.
