And, at link library inner condenser 46 and be communicated on the shunt valve 54 between the low-pressure side pipe arrangement of compressor 5, be provided with solenoid valve 50 as open and close valve.
Below, the action of the automatic vending machine in the embodiment of the present invention 1 that constitutes as stated is described.
At first, under the situation of the cooling running that full chamber is cooled off, become running shown in Figure 2.
Under the situation of cooling running, make four-way switching valve 49 actions so that the discharge pipe arrangement of compressor 5 and storehouse external condenser 40 are communicated with, and make the inlet outlet of storehouse inner condenser 46 be communicated with open solenoid valve 51, inaccessible solenoid valve 52, and starting compressor 5.
The cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 5 passes through four-way switching valve 49, solenoid valve 51; After 40 condensations of storehouse external condenser; After reducing pressure by resistance gauge 43,44,45 through four-way valve 42, evaporation gasification and cooling off in to the storehouse in the 2nd evaporator 47, and after be back to compressor 5.
Then, the 1st cooling hot room 2 is being heated, the 2nd cooling hot room 3, the cooling of cooling off of cooling dedicated chamber 4 are being heated under the situation of running, becoming running as shown in Figure 3.
Under situation about turning round is heated in cooling; Make four-way switching valve 49 actions so that the inlet of the discharge pipe arrangement of compressor 5 and storehouse inner condenser 46 is communicated with, and the outlet of storehouse inner condenser 46 and storehouse external condenser 40 are communicated with, and open solenoid valve 51; Inaccessible solenoid valve 52, and starting compressor 5.
The cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 5 flows to storehouse inner condenser 46 through four-way switching valve 49 after, and through storehouse inner condenser 46 by partial condensation, dispel the heat through peripherad air this moment and to heating in the storehouse.The cold-producing medium that comes out from storehouse inner condenser 46 is by after resistance gauge 48 decompressions; Through four-way switching valve 49, solenoid valve 51; Further carry out condensation by storehouse external condenser 40; And after through four-way valve 42 by resistance gauge 44,45 decompression after, through 9, the 10 evaporation gasifications of evaporator in the storehouse, cool off ambient air thus.The back flow of refrigerant of evaporation gasification is to compressor 5.
Then, under the situation of the running of heating of only the 1st cooling hot room 2 being heated, become running as shown in Figure 4.
Under the situation of running of heating; Make four-way switching valve 49 actions so that the inlet of the discharge pipe arrangement of compressor 5 and storehouse inner condenser 46 is communicated with; And make that evaporator 41 is communicated with outside outlet and the storehouse of storehouse inner condenser 46, and inaccessible solenoid valve 51, open solenoid valve 52 and starting compressor 5.
The cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 5 is through after the four-way switching valve 49; Through storehouse inner condenser 46 condensations heat radiations and to heating in the storehouse; Afterwards by after resistance gauge 48 decompression, through four-way switching valve 49, solenoid valve 52, and after further reduce pressure by resistance gauge 53 after; Evaporator 41 evaporation gasifications outside the storehouse, and be back to compressor 5.
As stated; Under the situation that the 1st cooling hot room 2 is heated; Through opening and closing solenoid valve 51, solenoid valve 52; Thereby can with the load condition of the 2nd cooling hot room 3, cooling dedicated chamber 4 irrespectively, the 1st cooling hot room 2 is heated, and heats to turn round also can spend the time and realize the reduction of power consumption through the low outer temperature that descends in the load of cooling chamber.
And then, through on the pipe arrangement between storehouse inner condenser 46 and the storehouse external condenser 40, resistance gauge 48 being set, there is difference between the condensing temperature and storehouse condensed exterior temperature thereby can make in the storehouse.Thus, owing to reduce refrigerant density, therefore can cut down refrigerant amount.Through cutting down refrigerant amount; Can reduce the cooling of using two condensers heat running, with the cooling running of using a condenser in the best refrigerant amount difference of generation, the risk in the time of also can reducing the leakage when having used combustible refrigerant.
In addition, can use kapillary, through using kapillary that kapillary is also used as to connect the pipe arrangement of resistance gauge 48 and storehouse inner condenser 46, four-way switching valve 49, the amount that therefore can further cut down cold-producing medium for resistance gauge 48.
In addition; Through in the storehouse, outside the storehouse, disposing condenser and evaporator respectively; Thereby compare with the situation that each heat exchanger of one is separated use as condenser/evaporator; The solenoid valve that on the pipe arrangement that connects evaporator outlet and compressor suction pipe arrangement, is provided with can be abolished, and the decrease in efficiency that the pressure loss causes can be prevented.And,, therefore can turn round more efficiently owing to can make condenser and evaporator become optimum specifications respectively.
In addition; In cold-producing medium does not turn round through the cooling in the storehouse inner condenser 46; When cold-producing medium during in four-way switching valve 49 internal leakages, can make cold-producing medium and/or refrigerator oil be trapped in storehouse inner condenser 46, can become the reason of the fault that produces cooling power deficiency and/or compressor etc.; But because at link library inner condenser 46 and be communicated on the shunt valve 54 between the low-pressure side pipe arrangement of compressor 5 solenoid valve 50 is set; Therefore through open solenoid valve 50, can cold-producing medium that be trapped in storehouse inner condenser 46 and/or the oily suction pipe arrangement that is recovered to compressor 5 can be prevented the fault of cooling power deficiency and/or compressor.
Here; Through stop at compressor 5 and the state of high-low pressure balance under, solenoid valve is inaccessible after 50 open stipulated times, become the form that under the state of equilibrium pressure cold-producing medium stockpiles the inner condenser 46 in the storehouse thus; Can cool off running with the amount of less cold-producing medium; And on the other hand, falling or setting under the state that even load is high when switching to cooling setpoint open all the time solenoid valve 50 from heating; Can utilize whole cold-producing mediums to cool off etc. and change the amount of circulating refrigerant accordingly, and the ability of the adverse current that too much causes of the cold-producing medium can prevent steady running simultaneously time the when realizing overload improves with ability.
In addition, because the leakage rate of the cold-producing medium in four-way switching valve 49 is considerably less, even therefore open all the time solenoid valve 50, and in the starting of compressor, open the stipulated time termly, also can access same effect.Thus, can the power consumption of solenoid valve be suppressed at bottom line.
Here; Though be detained the recovery of cold-producing medium through the suction pipe arrangement of link library inner condenser 46 and compressor 5,, then Anywhere can so long as the pipe arrangement of connection is the position of low pressure; Specifically, so long as get final product after the resistance gauge 43,44,45,53.But, when in the commodity storehouse, connecting,, therefore be connected piping length is shortened with the suction pipe arrangement of compressor 5 because pipe arrangement is elongated.
As stated; Automatic vending machine of the present invention carry out the cooling in the storehouse switching a plurality of operation modes and the freeze cycle of heating in; Owing to can raise the efficiency according to the solenoid valve of abolishing on the low-pressure side pipe arrangement; And reclaim and to be trapped in the cold-producing medium that does not use in the condenser, therefore also can be adapted to a plurality of storerooms cool off or the cooling warming-up device of heating in.
