结合参照图1和图2,在设置缓冲件30时,一实施例中可采用的方案为,将缓冲件30设置为管状弹簧。通过管状弹簧套设在冷媒管10的外周,管状弹簧其本身还可以具有弹性形变,使得冷媒管10在收到外力时,管状弹簧能够提供承载力。并且,管状弹簧的整体结构较为简单,安装较为方便,可以方便缓冲件30与冷媒管10的安装。
进一步地,在设置管状弹簧时,其延伸长度与冷媒管10的延伸长度的比值为0.5至1。也即管状弹簧设置为一整条时,其覆盖冷媒管10的一半,可以满足基本的防护需求,也可以重点防护折弯部分的冷媒管10,设置与冷媒管10的长度相同,防护效果最好,可以最大限度的保护冷媒管10的整体结构。
当然,在另一实施例中,管状弹簧为多段设置,多段管状弹簧沿冷媒管10的长度方向排布。通过多段设置的管状弹簧可以使得管状弹簧能适配不同规格的冷媒管10。例如,1米的冷媒管10,可以设置两段50cm的缓冲件30,然后这个缓冲件30还可以适配50cm的冷媒管10。如此可提高缓冲件30的通配性能。当然,多段设置的管状弹簧,其也可以只覆盖部分冷媒管10,例如覆盖折弯部分的冷媒 管10。
在本申请的一实施例中,冷媒管10的外壁面设有螺纹结构(未图示),缓冲件30安装于螺纹结构。通过螺纹结构,可以方便缓冲件30的安装。当缓冲件30为管状弹簧时,也可以将管状弹簧与螺纹结构的螺牙对应起来进行安装。从而使得缓冲件30的安装更加稳定,在冷媒管10的外壁面不会产生窜动。
参照图1,在本申请的一实施例中,缓冲件30和固定套50之间还设有保温套70,保温套70套接于缓冲件30的外侧。
通过将保温套70套在缓冲件30的外侧,从而使得冷媒管10的管路能够被保温,防止冷媒管10出现冷凝水的情况,也降低了冷媒管10与外部的换热机率,节约能源,提高能效。
进一步地,在设置冷媒管10时,将连接线缆设于固定套50和保温套70之间。从而将连接线缆和冷媒管10通过保温套70隔开,使得连接线缆在使用时不会被冷媒管10内的冷媒所影响,提高连接线缆的使用安全性和使用寿命。
结合参照图1至图3,在本申请的一实施例中,冷媒管10的两端均设有快速接头20。通过快速接头20可以实现连接管组件100和室内机或室外机的快速对接安装,结合参照图3,与冷媒管10连接的快速接头20包括第一本体部21和第一密封堵头23,第一密封堵头23的外周面设置密封圈,第一本体部21内设置通道,第一密封堵头23通过弹簧可活动的在通道内活动。与室内机和/或室外机连接的快速接头(200,300)包括第二本体部210和第二密封堵头230,第二密封堵头230通过弹簧可活动的在第二本体部210内的通过内活动。当第二本体部210插接在第一本体部21内时,第一密封堵头23推动第二密封堵头230的运动,从而实现流路的连通。如此设置的快速接头20,能够实现快速安装,并且,可以在第一本体部21的内和第二本体部210外设置外螺纹,使得连接更加稳固。代替现有的焊接或打螺钉的安装方式,本申请的快速接头20安装简单快捷,并且密封性能好,进一步减轻工人的工作量。
当然,还可以在冷媒管10的两端设置螺母的方式进行连接,也在本申请的保护范围内。
本申请的一实施例中,连接管组件100还可以包括柔性的连接管,柔性管的一 端连接冷媒管10,连接管的另一端连接接头结构。
冷媒管10可以为铜管或铝管,柔性管可以为塑胶管、橡胶管或钢丝管(整体为塑胶材质,塑胶材质的内部设置网状的钢丝)。如此,实现软硬管结合的方案,通冷媒冷媒管10的长度可设置为比连接管的长度要长,采用硬质的铜管或铝管的冷媒管10不易变形。
通过采用在冷媒管10与接头结构之间的连接管设置为柔性管,在连接的过程中,接头结构用于与室内机和室外机连接。冷媒管10本身不会产生形变,产生形变的位置为柔性管的位置,因为连接管为柔性管,即使形变也会在通冷媒的时候被压力恢复,从而使得避免了现有技术中冷媒管10形变而造成的管路的输气或输液的性能降低的情况,提升了整个空调器的制冷或制热性能。
本申请的一实施例中,冷媒管10包括至少一条柔性管,柔性管的一端连接室内机,柔性管的另一端连接室外机,固定套50套设于冷媒管10的外周,并与冷媒管10相互固定。
再结合上述的安装方式中,可以将冷媒管10的数量为两条,其中之一为冷媒液管11,其中之另一为冷媒气管13,每一冷媒管10的均可设置为柔性管,也可以其中之一的冷媒管10设置为柔性管。冷媒液管11包括至少一条柔性管,和/或,冷媒气管13包括至少一条柔性管。冷媒气管13的总体的管径可设置为小于冷媒液管11的管径。通过一个固定套50,可以代替现有的扎带,进行捆绑安装,从而方便连接管组件100的快速装配,节省人力成本。进一步地,还可以将连接室内机和室外机的连接线缆设置在固定套50内,从而方便整体的安装,进一步节约人力成本。
本申请技术方案通过采用将冷媒管10做成柔性管,从而防止出现现有的硬质的冷媒管10产生形变后无法恢复的现象。在冷媒管10的外侧再套接一个固定套50,并将固定套50与冷媒管10相互固定,从而取代现有的扎带的方案,使得冷媒管10的使用和安装更加方便快捷,同时进一步起到保护冷媒管10的效果。通过柔性管和固定套50的方案,使得整个连接管组件100能够方便快捷的连接空调器的室内机和室外机,并且降低冷媒管10损坏的风险。
进一步地,冷媒管10包括多条柔性管,每一柔性管内均形成冷媒流路。
多条柔性管的设置,类似于毛细管,从而每条柔性管都可以形成冷媒回路。可以理解的是,冷媒气管13可以包括多条柔性管,冷媒气管13也可包括多条柔性管。多条柔性管的设置可以防止其中一条柔性管出现故障时无法使用的现象,提升冷媒管10整体工作的稳定性。
进一步地,多条柔性管的外周套设有捆绑带。为了使多条柔性管的安装使用更加方便,在固定套50内部、柔性管的外周侧设置孔绑带,方便安装和使用。
本申请还提出一种空调器,该空调器包括室内机、室外机和连接管组件100,该连接管组件100的具体结构参照上述实施例,由于本空调器采用了上述所有实施例的全部技术方案,因此至少具有上述实施例的技术方案所带来的所有有益效果,在此不再一一赘述。其中,室内机设有室内快速接头200,用以与冷媒管10的快速接头20连接;和/或,室外机设有室外快速接头300,用以与冷媒管10的快速接头20连接。通过室内快速接头200和室外快速接头300,用以与连接管组件100的快速接头20对接,从而实现快速安装。
可以理解的是,连接室内机和室外机的所有管线,例如冷媒管10(包括冷媒液管11和冷媒气管13)、连接线缆(可以包括电线、信号线以及其他线缆)均设置在固定套15内。连接线缆的两端为连接端,与室内机的连接端和与室外机的连接端的插接结构的规格可以设置为相同,如此可以实现便捷化的操作连接。尤其是在欧美地区,人工安装费用很贵,一般均为个人安装,通过将连接线缆的两端的规格设置为相同,可以方便人工连接。同时,冷媒管10(包括冷媒液管11和冷媒气管13)的两端的接头结构也可以设置为相同的结构,也是为了方便用户连接,方便使用。在安装时,需要在墙体设置穿墙孔,在固定套15外侧还可以缠绕保护带,该保护带可以为塑料或塑胶材质。保护带可与固定套15的长度相同,也可以只在固定套15与穿墙孔接触的那一部位。固定套15与冷媒管10和连接线缆之间有间隙,在穿过穿墙孔处时,一般使得固定套15形变而与冷媒管10和连接线缆之间的间隙变小,从而使得穿墙孔的孔径不必要设置的那么大,从而节约安装空间。进一步的通过保护带可以使得该固定套15的形变能够基本被维持,方便安装,例如,在19楼的高空中,将预装配好的整个连接管组件装配好,再通过穿墙孔时,就能较为顺畅方便的通过穿墙孔。同时,通过保护 带套在固定套15的外周,在通过穿墙孔时,也可以保护固定套15不被穿墙孔(墙体一般为钢筋混凝土结构,容易割伤固定套15)损坏。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例,并非因此限制本申请的专利范围,凡是在本申请的申请构思下,利用本申请说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构变换,或直接/间接运用在其他相关的技术领域均包括在本申请的专利保护范围内。
