- the amount of heat generated by the increased temperature of the refrigerant is utilized as a heating source for the first housing 30a and the second housing 30b. Thereby heating efficiency can be improved.
- first housing 30a and the second housing 30b are respectively provided with the first radiator 36a and the second radiator 36b dedicated for heat dissipation and the first evaporator 35a and the second evaporator 35b dedicated for heat absorption, the number of the electromagnetic valves to be used can be reduced compared with the case of using a common heat exchanger for heat dissipation and heat absorption. Thereby, reduction in manufacturing cost can be intended.
- the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 41 is caused to directly flow into the third radiator 42 without passing through the second internal heat exchanger 52. Therefore, at the occasion of cooling all of the first housing 30a, the second housing 30b and the third housing 30c, the refrigerant sucked into by the compressor 41 will not be heated by the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 41. Thereby, the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 41 will not unnecessarily increase.
- the refrigerant used in the refrigerant circuit 50 has been carbon dioxide.
- the same effects as those of the above described embodiment can be obtained.
- the decompressor of the refrigerant circuit 50 the first to the fourth expansion valves 53a, 53b, 53c and 53d have been used.

Description
- The present invention relates to a cooling/heating apparatus which has a plurality of housings and cools or heats the respective housings.
- Conventionally, there is known that kind of cooling/heating apparatus comprising a plurality of housings for housing goods and a refrigerant circuit including a first heat exchanger provided in each housing, a second heat exchanger provided outside the housings and a compressor. That cooling/heating apparatus is designed to cool or heat goods housed in each housing by each first heat exchanger which exchanges heat of a refrigerant and air in each housing.
- In the conventional cooling/heating apparatus, the refrigerant circuit is provided with an internal heat exchanger exchanging heat of the refrigerant flowing out of the second heat exchanger and being circulated toward the first heat exchanger provided in a housing to be cooled with heat of the refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchanger provided in the housing to be cooled and circulated toward the compressor. That dissipates heat from the refrigerant flowing out of the second heat exchanger by heat-exchanging with the refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchanger provided in the housing to be cooled in order to improve a cooling effect in the first heat exchanger provided in the housing to be cooled.
- On the other hand, in the first heat exchanger provided in a housing to be heated, the housing is heated by dissipating heat from the refrigerant to be discharged from the compressor. At that time, the refrigerant in a low temperature flowing out of the first heat exchanger provided in the housing to be cooled is heat-exchanged, in the internal heat exchanger with the refrigerant having been heat-exchanged with the outside air in the second heat exchanger and dissipated heat, thus absorbing heat. The temperature of the refrigerant sucked into by the compressor is approximately the same as the temperature of the outside air and a comparatively low temperature. Therefore, the refrigerant with a low temperature, approximately the same as the temperature of the outside air, cannot obtain a temperature sufficiently increased even if the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor, and the heat dissipation amount in the first heat exchanger provided in the housing to be heated cannot be secured sufficiently.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a cooling/heating apparatus which allows improvement in heating efficiency in a first heat exchanger provided in a housing to be heated.
- In order to attain the object, the present invention comprises: a plurality of housings housing goods; a first heat exchanger provided in each housing and respectively cooling or heating the housed goods; a second heat exchanger provided outside the housings; a compressor provided outside the housings; a third heat exchanger exchanging heat of a refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchanger provided in each housing heating the goods of the plurality of housings with heat of the refrigerant sucked into by the compressor; and a fourth heat exchanger exchanging heat of the refrigerant circulating from the second heat exchanger toward the first heat exchanger provided in each housing cooling the goods with heat of the refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchanger provided in each housing cooling the goods.
- Thereby, the refrigerant sucked into by the compressor absorbs heat in the third heat exchanger and a temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor can be increased. Accordingly, by increasing the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor, the amount of heat generated by the increased temperature of the refrigerant is utilized as a heating source for the housing to be heated. Thereby heating efficiency can be improved.

Flow paths on upstream sides of the first expansion valve 53a, the second expansion valve 53b and thethird expansion valve 53c are respectively provided with the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f. In addition, a flow path between the high pressure refrigerant outflow side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 and the fourth, fifth, and sixth electromagnetic valves 54d, 54e and 54f is provided with the fourth expansion valve 53d. Refrigerant outflow sides of the first evaporator 35a, the second evaporator 35b and the third evaporator 35c are connected to a low pressure refrigerant inflow side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. A low pressure refrigerant outflow side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 is connected to a low pressure refrigerant inflow side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52. In addition, a low pressure refrigerant outflow side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 is connected to a refrigerant absorption side of thecompressor 41. - The first
internal heat exchanger 51 and the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 are respectively double-pipe heat exchangers provided integrally by forming double pipes in a spiral shape as illustrated inFIG. 5 and connecting their low pressure side refrigerant flow paths each other. In addition, the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 is arranged above the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 and the refrigerant on the low pressure side circulates from the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 toward the secondinternal heat exchanger 52. Moreover, the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 and the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 are covered by a heat insulating material for shielding heat exchange with the outside air. - A refrigerant inflow side 51a of an inner pipe of the first
internal heat exchanger 51 is connected to the outflow side of thethird radiator 42. A refrigerant outflow side 51b of the inner pipe is connected to the refrigerant inflow sides of the first evaporator 35a, the second evaporator 35b and the third evaporator 35c. In addition, a refrigerant inflow side 51c of an outer pipe of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 is connected to the refrigerant outflow sides of the first evaporator 35a, the second evaporator 35b and the third evaporator 35c. A refrigerant outflow side 51d of the outer pipe is connected to arefrigerant inflow side 52c of an outer pipe of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52. - A refrigerant inflow side 52a of an inner pipe of the second
internal heat exchanger 52 is connected to the refrigerant outflow sides of the first radiator 36a and the second radiator 36b. A refrigerant outflow side 52b of the inner pipe is connected to the refrigerant inflow side of thethird radiator 42. In addition, arefrigerant inflow side 52c of the outer pipe of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 is connected to a refrigerant outflow side 51d of the outer pipe of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. A refrigerant outflow side 52d of the outer pipe of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 is connected to the refrigerant absorption side of thecompressor 41. - The automatic vending machine configured as described above will be described based on
FIG. 6 for the case where the first housing 30a, the second housing 30b and the third housing 30c are all cooled. In that case, the first electromagnetic valve 54a and the second electromagnetic valve 54b are closed; the third electromagnetic valve 54c, the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are opened; and the first fan 37a, the second fan 37b, the third fan 37c, thecompressor 41 and the machine room fan 43 are activated. - The refrigerant discharged from the
compressor 41 circulates from the third electromagnetic valve 54c, thethird radiator 42 to the high pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 sequentially; circulates through the fourth expansion valve 53d; and, thereafter, is divided to flow into the flow paths provided with the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f. The refrigerant circulating through the flow path provided with the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d circulates through the first expansion valve 53a and the first evaporator 35a to flow into the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. The refrigerant circulating through the flow path provided with the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e circulates through the second expansion valve 53b and the second evaporator 35b to flow into the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. The refrigerant circulating through the flow path provided with the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f circulates through thethird expansion valve 53c and the third evaporator 35c to flow into the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. The refrigerant flowing out of the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 passes through the low pressure side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 and is sucked into by thecompressor 41. - At that occasion, the refrigerant does not circulate through the refrigerant flow path on the high pressure side of the second
internal heat exchanger 52. Therefore, the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant flow path on the low pressure side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 is sucked into by thecompressor 41 without undergoing heat-exchange. - Next, the case where the first housing 30a is heated and the second housing 30b and the third housing 30c are cooled will be described based on
FIG. 7 . In that case, the second electromagnetic valve 54b, the third electromagnetic valve 54c and the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d are closed; the first electromagnetic valve 54a, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are opened; and the first fan 37a, the second fan 37b, the third fan 37c, thecompressor 41, the compressor fan 41e and the machine room fan 43 are activated. - The refrigerant discharged from the
compressor 41 circulates from the first electromagnetic valve 54a, the first radiator 36a, the high pressure side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52, thethird radiator 42 to the high pressure side of theinternal heat exchanger 51 sequentially; circulates through the fourth expansion valve 53d; and, thereafter, is divided to flow into the flow paths provided with the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f. The refrigerant circulating through the flow path provided with the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e circulates through the second expansion valve 53b and the second evaporator 35b to flow into the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. The refrigerant circulating through the flow path provided with the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f circulates through thethird expansion valve 53c and the third evaporator 35c to flow into the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51. The refrigerant flowing out of the low pressure side of the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 circulates through the low pressure side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 and is sucked into by thecompressor 41. - At that occasion, the refrigerant with a comparatively high temperature having undergone heat-exchange in the first radiator 36a with the air inside the first housing 30a circulates through the refrigerant flow path on the high pressure side of the second
internal heat exchanger 52. Therefore, the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant flow path on the low pressure side of the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 is heated and sucked into by thecompressor 41 so that the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 41 increases. Thereby, in the case of replenishing products into the first housing 30a, for example, it become possible to shorten the time for heating the products to a predetermined temperature. In addition, by shortening the run time of an electric heater 38a as a complementary heating source, reduction in the amount of power consumption can be intended. - In addition, the refrigerant flowing into the flow paths provided with the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f is decompressed to a predetermined pressure by the fourth expansion valve 53d and, thereafter, flows into respective flow paths. Therefore, the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are less influenced by the pressure of the carbon dioxide refrigerant being in high pressure.
- In addition, in the case where the second housing 30b is heated and the first housing 30a and the third housing 30c are cooled, the first electromagnetic valve 54a, the third electromagnetic valve 54c and the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e are closed; the second electromagnetic valve 54b, the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are opened; and the first fan 37a, the second fan 37b, the third fan 37c, the
compressor 41, the compressor fan 41e and the machine room fan 43 are activated. - Moreover, in the case where the first housing 30a and the second housing 30b are heated and the third housing 30c is cooled, the third electromagnetic valve 54c, the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d and the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e are closed; the first electromagnetic valve 54a, the second electromagnetic valve 54b and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are opened; and the first fan 37a, the second fan 37b, the third fan 37c, the
compressor 41, the compressor fan 41e and the machine room fan 43 are activated. - Thus, the automatic vending machine of the present embodiment comprises the second
internal heat exchanger 52 exchanging heat of the refrigerant flowing out of the first radiator 36a and the second radiator 36b with heat of the refrigerant sucked into by thecompressor 41 and therefore the temperature of the refrigerant sucked into by thecompressor 41 is increased to enable an increase in temperature of the refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 41. Thereby, the amount of heat generated by the increased temperature of the refrigerant is utilized as a heating source for the first housing 30a and the second housing 30b. Thereby heating efficiency can be improved. - In addition, the first
internal heat exchanger 51 and the secondinternal heat exchanger 52 have been configured integrally and, therefore, are not required to be connected to therefrigerant circuit 50 respectively but can be treated as one component. Thereby, a decrease in man-hour for assembly and space saving on installation space can be intended. - In addition, since the first
internal heat exchanger 51 has been arranged above the secondinternal heat exchanger 52, a low pressure refrigerant can be caused to circulate from the firstinternal heat exchanger 51 to the second internal heat exchanger positioned under thefirst heat exchanger 51. Thereby, pressure loss in the refrigerant flow path due to retention of refrigerating machine oil can be reduced. - In addition, since the first housing 30a and the second housing 30b are respectively provided with the first radiator 36a and the second radiator 36b dedicated for heat dissipation and the first evaporator 35a and the second evaporator 35b dedicated for heat absorption, the number of the electromagnetic valves to be used can be reduced compared with the case of using a common heat exchanger for heat dissipation and heat absorption. Thereby, reduction in manufacturing cost can be intended.
- At the occasion of cooling all of the first housing 30a, the second housing 30b and the third housing 30c, the refrigerant discharged from the
compressor 41 is caused to directly flow into thethird radiator 42 without passing through the secondinternal heat exchanger 52. Therefore, at the occasion of cooling all of the first housing 30a, the second housing 30b and the third housing 30c, the refrigerant sucked into by thecompressor 41 will not be heated by the refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 41. Thereby, the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 41 will not unnecessarily increase. - In addition, since the fourth expansion valve 53d has been provided in the flow paths on the upstream sides of the flow paths provided with the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f, the refrigerant decompressed to a predetermined pressure by the fourth expansion valve 53d can be caused to circulate through the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f. Thereby, the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f are less influenced by the pressure of the carbon dioxide refrigerant being in high pressure to enable prevention of an occurrence of operation failure of the fourth electromagnetic valve 54d, the fifth electromagnetic valve 54e and the sixth electromagnetic valve 54f.
- In addition, since carbon dioxide has been used as the refrigerant, influence to the environments such as ozone depletion and global warming can be minimized.
- Here, in the above described embodiment, the refrigerant used in the
refrigerant circuit 50 has been carbon dioxide. However, also in the case of using a fluorocarbon refrigerant or a hydrocarbon refrigerant, the same effects as those of the above described embodiment can be obtained. - In addition, in the above described embodiment, as the decompressor of the
refrigerant circuit 50, the first to thefourth expansion valves 53a, 53b, 53c and 53d have been used. However, decompressor with a capillary tube and the like can be used. - The embodiment described in the present specification is exemplary and not limitative. The scope of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying claims. All variations falling into the meaning of those claims will be included in the present invention.
