Owing to the bending part 30 on the periphery of the horizontal direction that is arranged on breach 25 contacts with the top of glass tube 27, thereby the heat heat of glass tube 27 upper faces is transmitted to cooling fins 23, can further reduce the surface temperature on glass tube 27 tops of Glass tube heater 24.
The substantial middle that is arranged on the depth direction of breach by the opening portion 31 with horizontal direction promptly is configured in the top of glass tube 27, can improve the radiant heat effect to greatest extent.
The length F of the length A of the bending part 30 of the vertical of cooling fins 23 and the bending part 30 of horizontal direction is 4.9mm.Bending part 30 is plane, be the circle shape with the contact-making surface of glass tube 27, setting by glass tube insertion section size C and bending angle D, E, can after inserting glass tube 27 in the breach 25, the bending part 30 of vertical be contacted reliably with glass tube 27, and bending part 30 is plane, and bending part 30 is processed easily.
The height B of the bending part 30 of vertical is 12mm, sets greatlyyer than the external diameter 10.5mm of glass tube 27, thereby glass tube 27 can be arranged to not give prominence to from the bottom of cooler 21, obtains making the effect of the cooler miniaturization of being with defroster.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the bending angle D bending machining of the bending part 30 of vertical is 85 °.Because glass tube insertion section size C sets greatlyyer than the external diameter of glass tube 27, thus by make bending part 30 towards glass tube 27 direction is set, when glass tube 27 was set, glass tube 27 can contact reliably with the bending part 30 of cooling fins 23 thus.But, also can set glass tube insertion section size C littler than the external diameter of glass tube 27, making the bending angle D of bending part 30 be 90 °, and glass tube 27 is pressed into.
In addition, as shown in Figure 9, the bending angle E bend of the bending part 30 of horizontal direction is processed as below 90 °.By like this bending part 30 being tilted to glass tube 27, even when glass tube 27 inserts, produce the deflection of glass tube 27, the deviation that has the insertion angle or the shaping deviation of cooling fins 23, glass tube 27 is contacted with the bending part 30 of cooling fins 23 reliably.
In addition, consider the processability of cooling fins 23, the insertion of glass tube 27, bending angle E is preferably in 85 °~70 ° scope.
And, each cooling fins 23 is provided with bending part 30 everywhere, being provided with on the direction of glass tube 27, contacts with cooling fins 23 at two places and upper surface two places of two sides of glass tube 27 peripheries, can increase heat conducting effective contact area thus, more highland defrosting of energy efficiency.
Breach 25 is arranged on the substantial middle of the depth direction of cooler 21, Glass tube heater 24 is inserted breach 25, just the heat of Glass tube heater 24 can be passed to efficiently whole cooler 21 thus.Like this, can reduce cooler 21 the local possibility that is difficult to defrost takes place.
The length of the bending part 30 by making cooling fins 23 is more than 5% of gap length between the adjacent cooling fins 23, can improve from the thermal conduction effect of glass tube 27 to cooling fins 23, improves the defrosting efficiency of cooler 21.And the length of the bending part 30 by making cooling fins 23 is more than 20% of gap length between the adjacent cooling fins 23, can further improve defrosting efficiency.For the length F of the bending part 30 of the length A of the bending part 30 of vertical and horizontal direction maximum with respect to the ratio of the gap length between the adjacent cooling fins 23, when the relation of (glass tube insertion section size C 1/2) 〉=(gap length between the adjacent cooling fins 23) was set up, maximum was 100%.If when the relation of (glass tube insertion section size C 1/2)<(between the adjacent cooling fins 23 at interval length) was set up, maximum was less than 100%.
On the other hand, be 494 ℃ as the ignition temperature of the iso-butane of combustible refrigerant, thereby the surface temperature of glass tube 27 need be set at than low 100 ℃ below 394 ℃ of ignition temperature, to guarantee security.
For the cooler 21 that cooling fins 23 is formed with the arranged spaced of spacing of fin 10mm, the length of the bending part 30 of this example be between the adjacent cooling fins 23 gap length 49%, glass tube 27 surface temperatures are 330 ℃, the cold-producing medium of kind of refrigeration cycle uses combustible refrigerant, has the reduction effect of enough glass tube surface temperatures this moment.Therefore, can provide a kind of like this refrigerator, even combustible refrigerant leaks being provided with in the atmosphere of means of defrosting, defrosting under such environment also can prevent catching fire of combustible refrigerant.
And owing to can improve defrosting efficiency and shorten defrosting time, thereby can reduce the power consumption of refrigerator.
In this example, on cooling fins 23, be provided with the bending part 30 of two place's horizontal directions, but the bending part 30 of the above horizontal direction in three places also can be set as required.
In this example, on all cooling fins 23, all be provided with bending part 30, also can dispose the cooling fins 23 that is not provided with bending part 30 as required.For example, also the cooling fins 23 that is provided with bending part 30 alternately can be provided with the cooling fins 23 that is not provided with bending part 30, or be provided with the cooling fins 23 of bending part 30 every two configuration a slices.
In this example, refrigerant pipe 22, cooling fins 23 are all made by the big material aluminium of thermal conductivity factor, and the material of refrigerant pipe 22, cooling fins 23 is copper also.
In this example, be arranged on bending part 30 on the periphery of horizontal direction of breach 25 and be from being arranged to roughly two bending parts 30 of Ha font near the top of breach 25, but also be not the Ha font, also along the bending part of the linearity of left and right directions.
In sum, cooler of the present invention can improve defrosting efficiency by conducting to the heat of cooling fins from the radiant heat of Glass tube heater with from Glass tube heater.
When using combustible refrigerant, the heat heat on glass tube surface is transmitted to the cooling fins that contacts with glass tube, thereby can under the situation of the thermal capacity that does not reduce heater wire the surface temperature of glass tube be suppressed at below the ignition temperature of combustible refrigerant.
Utilizability on the industry
Above-mentioned cooler with defroster of the present invention can be supplied with the heat of Glass tube heater efficiently to cooler, thereby Also can be applicable to the purposes of refrigerator, automatic vending machine etc.
