Abstract
A flow path assembly includes a main body including a flow path continuous with each of a first opening and a second opening, a first tubular body extending in a first direction intersecting the first opening in the flow path and including a plurality of holes, and a sensor to detect a pressure in the first tubular body. A first end of the first tubular body in the first direction is connected to the first opening. The sensor is closer to a second end of the first tubular body than the first end of the first tubular body.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A flow path assembly comprising:
a main body including a flow path continuous with each of a first opening and a second opening; a first tubular body extending in a first direction intersecting the first opening in the flow path and including a plurality of holes; and a sensor to detect a pressure in the first tubular body;
wherein
a first end of the first tubular body in the first direction is connected to the first opening; and
the sensor is closer to a second end of the first tubular body than the first end of the first tubular body.
2 . The flow path assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the main body includes:
a first pipe including the first opening, a bottom wall, and a semi-through hole between the first opening and the bottom wall; and
a second pipe extending from a position between the first opening and the bottom wall in the first pipe, and including the second opening and a through hole continuous with each of the semi-through hole and the second opening;
the first tubular body is located in the semi-through hole; and the sensor is attached to the bottom wall.
3 . The flow path assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening opposes the first tubular body in a second direction intersecting the first direction.
4 . The flow path assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the second pipe extends from the position in a second direction intersecting the first direction.
5 . The flow path assembly according to claim 2 , further comprising a support that supports the first tubular body at a position spaced away from the first pipe.
6 . The flow path assembly according to claim 5 , wherein
the support includes a second tubular body between the bottom wall and an end of the first tubular body; the second tubular body is attached to the bottom wall and is in contact with an inner surface of the first tubular body; and the sensor includes a pressure receiving portion inside the second tubular body.
7 . The flow path assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the second tubular body includes a portion having a larger inner diameter at a position farther from the bottom wall.
8 . A refrigerant circulation device comprising the flow path assembly according to claim 1 at a refrigerant inflow port.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
