Ejector structure
The ejector is an important structure of the free piston Stirling refrigerator, and plays a role in regulating the flow of working medium in the refrigerator. The stirling cooler is a process of alternately oscillating a compression piston and an ejector, with high pressure gas (helium) flowing back and forth between a compression chamber, a hot side heat sink, a regenerator, a cold side heat exchanger, and an expansion chamber. In one cycle of the operation of the refrigerator, the gas in the expansion cavity performs positive work on the ejector and generates refrigerating capacity in the expansion cavity, and meanwhile, the ejector transmits the work performed by the gas in the expansion cavity to the compression cavity, so that the effect of recovering sound work is achieved, and the refrigerating efficiency of the refrigerator is improved.
The free piston stirling cooler is a pneumatic cooler in that the displacement of the ejector in the cooler is caused by the pressure differential between the compression and expansion chambers and no additional force is applied to drive its movement and phase modulation of the internal gas. For free piston Stirling refrigerators, the ejector is directly connected to the ejector plate spring and is independent of the compression system, i.e. a "free" piston. The mass of the ejector, the stiffness of the ejector plate spring and the amount of damping during movement of the ejector play a key role in the phasing function of the ejector.

Ejector structure component materials
The ejector structure in the prior art consists of a single piston, the ejector penetrates through a compression cavity at the hot end and an expansion cavity at the cold end, the ejector structure generally selects aluminum alloy, stainless steel or high-molecular polymer (engineering plastic), and the ejector structure made of metal materials has the advantages of small thermal deformation, high strength, high processing precision and higher heat conductivity coefficient. The clearance between the air cylinder and the ejector can be designed to be small, the air tightness is good, and the shuttle loss and the pumping loss are small; however, the disadvantage is that the axial heat transfer from the compression chamber to the expansion chamber is greater and the mass of the ejector is also greater. For the high polymer material, the strength is generally lower, the processing precision is low, the thermal deformation amount is larger, and the heat conductivity coefficient is small; the device has the advantages that the axial heat conduction from the compression cavity to the expansion cavity through the ejector body is smaller, and the weight is lighter; the disadvantage is that a certain gap is kept between the ejector and the cylinder to prevent direct friction between the ejector and the cylinder due to temperature change, resulting in a great increase in the damping of the ejector.
