Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator.
  • a refrigerator has a refrigerant circuit which is configured in a way that the refrigerant discharged from a compressor circulates through a condenser, a capillary tube, an evaporator and a suction pipe in turn, and returns to the compressor again from the suction pipe.
  • the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat in the refrigerator and vaporizes. However, in a case where the refrigerant in the evaporator does not vaporize sufficiently, it might occur that the liquid refrigerant flows into the suction pipe from the evaporator.
  • the suction pipe is also connected to the compressor. If a countermeasure is not taken, the liquid (heavier-mass) refrigerant will return to the compressor, which might be one of factors causing the compressor to fail.
  • a structure is employed in which an outer surface of the suction pipe and an outer surface of the capillary tube are in thermal contact.
  • the temperature of the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube is high, so the thermal contact between the suction pipe and the capillary tube enables the heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing through the suction pipe and the refrigerant flowing through the capillary tube.
  • the refrigerant in the suction pipe vaporizes and the vaporized refrigerant flows into the compressor, so that the liquid refrigerant can be prevented from flowing into the compressor.
  • suction pipes made of copper are mostly used so far, but suction pipes made of cheaper aluminum have been developed for the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator to reduce the costs of the products.
  • the following patent document 1 discloses a refrigerant circuit having a suction pipe made of aluminum.
  • suction pipe and the capillary tube of the refrigerant circuit involved in patent document 1 are joined by laser emitted from a laser welder. Furthermore, when the suction pipe is joined to the capillary tube, a pressing roller is used to form a press-fitted state of the suction pipe and the capillary tube.
  • suction pipe and the capillary tube disclosed in the patent document 1 are in thermal contact only via a substantially linear molten-joining portion. Therefore, since the formed thermal contact region is local, there is room for improvement of the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant circulating in the suction pipe and the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube.
  • US 2015/198381 A1 discloses a method of forming a refrigeration heat exchanger comprising a suction line and a capillary line which includes: juxtaposing at least a portion of the suction and capillary lines to form a juxtaposed portion; at least partially enveloping the juxtaposed portion with a metal material; and encapsulating the capillary line to the suction line along at least a portion of the juxtaposed portion.
  • DE 11 16 247 B represents the closest prior art for claim 1.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator, aiming to reduce costs of products, make an operation of joining of the suction pie and the capillary tube easier, and meanwhile improve the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant circulating in the suction pipe and the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube.
  • recess comprising:
  • the first side wall is a flat plate-shaped, or the first side wall is curved corresponding to the curvature of the outer surface of the capillary tube, and the first side wall is in contact with the surface of the capillary tube.
  • the second side wall is a flat plate-shaped, or the second side wall is curved corresponding to the curvature of the outer surface of the capillary tube, and the second side wall is in contact with the surface of the capillary tube.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention can achieve reduction of costs of products by using the suction pipe made of aluminum.
  • an operation of joining the suction pipe to the capillary tube can be performed easily, and the suction pipe and the capillary tube can be maintained in excellent thermal contact; therefore, the loss of heat transfer between the refrigerant circulating in the suction pipe and the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube can be reduced.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention since the capillary tube is in contact with each of the bottom wall, the first side wall and the second side wall of the recess of the suction pipe and in contact with the bottom wall surface, the refrigerator according to the present invention has a simple structure and can further reduce the loss of heat transfer between the suction pipe and the capillary tube.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention is structured in a way that the auxiliary heat transfer member covering the capillary tube embedded in the recess of the suction pipe is mounted at the suction pipe, the loss of heat transfer between the refrigerant circulating in the suction pipe and the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube can be further reduced.
  • the capillary tube is pressed by the heat-shrinkable tube towards the recess, the thermal contact of the suction pipe and the capillary tube can be maintained better; therefore, the loss of heat transfer between the refrigerant circulating in the suction pipe and the refrigerant circulating in the capillary tube can be reduced.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention is structured in a way that since the topmost portion of the capillary tube is received in the recess, the swelling of the heat-shrinkable tube that might be caused by the heat-shrinkable tube pressing the topmost portion of the capillary tube can be prevented; therefore, the operation of receiving the suction pipe in which the capillary tube is embedded into the heat-shrinkable tube can be performed simply and conveniently, and meanwhile the heat-shrinkable tube with a smaller diameter can be used; as a result, reduction of the costs of products can be achieved.

  • the heat-insulating door D2 is disposed to seal the front opening of the freezing compartment 4 in such a way that the heat-insulating door D2 may be drawn out or pushed in in a front-rear direction relative to the heat-insulating cabinet 2.

Furthermore, the refrigerant reaches the evaporator 16 via the dryer 14 and the capillary tube 15, and then returns to the compressor 11 via the suction pipe 17.
  • the pipelines of the capillary tube 15 and the suction pipe 17 are laid adjacent to the rear side of the refrigerator 1. More specifically, thermal contact is performed in regions HC1, HC2 and HC3 (the regions are hereinafter referred to as a "thermal contact region”.

  • the recess 171 is formed along a length direction of the suction pipe 17.
  • the capillary tube 15 in the present embodiment is embedded in the recess 171. According to the present embodiment, the capillary tube 15 and the suction pipe 17 can be brought into thermal contact by embedding the capillary tube 15 into the recess 171 of the suction pipe 17.

  • length directions of the bottom wall 171B, the first side wall 171S1 and the second side wall 171S2 are formed along the length direction of the suction pipe 17.
  • the bottom wall 171B, the first side wall 171S1 and the second side wall 171S2 are described as separate components, but they may be integrated in structure.
  • the bottom wall 171B is preferably curved corresponding to a curvature 15R of an outer surface 15S of the capillary tube 15. Since the bottom wall 171B has such a curved structure, the bottom wall 171B contacts the capillary tube 15. As a result, the thermal contact between the capillary tube 15 and the suction pipe 17 can be maintained better, and the heat transfer loss between the refrigerant in the capillary tube 15 and the refrigerant in the suction pipe 17 can be greatly reduced.
  • first side wall 171S1 and the second side wall 171S2 shown in the figure are substantially flat plate-shaped, they may be in a state in which they are curved corresponding to the curvature of the outer surface 15S of the capillary tube and contact the surface of the capillary tube 15, like the bottom wall 171B.

  • the refrigerant circuit 10 is provided with a heat-shrinkable tube 19 that receives the suction tube 17 (covering the outer surface of the suction tube 17) into which the capillary tube 15 is embedded.

  • the topmost portion 15T of the capillary tube 15 is received in the recess 171 of the suction pipe 17.
  • a diameter of the heat-shrinkable tube 19 must be increased in proportion to the protruding portion.
