- a capillary In a refrigerating system in currently commonly-used refrigerating appliances such as refrigerators and freezers, a capillary is usually used between a condenser and an evaporator for throttling and depressurization.

- a circulation process of the refrigerant in the refrigerating system 100 is theoretically roughly as follows: a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas in the exhaust pipe of the compressor 1 enters the condenser 2 and is condensed into a high-pressure saturated or supercooled liquid which then enters the throttle pipeline 3 for throttling and depressurization, and then flows through the transition pipe 7 into the evaporator 4 for vaporization into a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas, which returns to the compressor 1 to be recompressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas, thereby completing the entire circulation process.

That is, the pipe connecting mechanism 9 may achieve a fixed connection between the flexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body, thereby enabling the refrigerant to flow smoothly from the flexible pipe body 90 into the rigid pipe body, or from the rigid pipe body into the flexible pipe body 90.
- the pipe connecting mechanism 9 at the rear end of the flexible pipe body 90 is taken as an example to introduce the structure of the pipe connecting mechanism 9 in detail, i.e., hereunder, the orientations of the front and rear of parts of the pipe connecting mechanism 9 are based on a reference premise that the flexible pipe body 90 is in the front and the rigid pipe body is in the rear; correspondingly, if the pipe connecting mechanism 9 is at the front end of the flexible pipe body 90, i.e., the reference premise is that the flexible pipe body 90 in the rear and the rigid pipe body in the front, orientations of the front and rear of parts of the pipe connecting mechanism 9 all will change to the reverse.
- a first pipe portion 922 is formed at a rear end of a connector pipe 92, and a second pipe portion 921 is formed at a front end of the connector pipe 92" should be changed to "a first pipe portion 922 is formed at a front end of a connector pipe 92, and a second pipe portion 921 is formed at a rear end of the connector pipe 92".
- the pipe connecting mechanism 9 at the rear end of the flexible pipe body 90 is taken as an example.

- the first pipe portion 922 is formed at a rear end of the connector pipe 92
- the second pipe portion 921 is formed at a front end of the connector pipe 92.
- the first pipe portion 922 is fixedly connected to the rigid pipe body, the second pipe portion 921 is inserted into the flexible pipe body 90 from the rear to the front, and the second pipe portion 921 supports the flexible pipe body 90 in an interference-fitted manner.
- the sleeve 91 is sleeved outside the flexible pipe body 90 and moves towards the connector pipe 92 from front to back, and is sleeved outside the second pipe portion 921.
- the sleeve 91 may clamp and fix the flexible pipe body 90 together with the second pipe portion 921, that is, the second pipe portion 921 supports the flexible pipe body 90 from the inside in an interference-fitted manner, while the sleeve 91 presses the flexible pipe body 90 from the outside inward, so that the flexible pipe body 90 is tightly clamped and fixed between the sleeve 91 and the second pipe portion 921.
- the pipe connecting mechanism 9 ensures the sealing performance between the flexible pipe body 90 and the second pipe portion 921, and avoids the refrigerant from leaking along a gap between the flexible pipe body 90 and the second pipe portion 921 in a way that the second pipe portion 921 supports the flexible pipe body 90 in an interference-fitted manner. Meanwhile, the pipe connecting mechanism 9 may quickly achieve the connection between the flexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body through the plugging operation between both of the sleeve 91 and connector pipe 92 and the flexible pipe body 90, without requiring other extra structural members (i.e., the pipe connecting mechanism 90 only needs to consist of the sleeve 91 and the connector pipe 92).
- the pipe connecting mechanism is simple in structure, simple and convenient in operation, highly efficient in assembling and integrates two aspects, namely, the assembling efficiency and the sealing performance.
- first pipe portion 922 may be specifically connected to the rigid pipe body by welding.
- the connector pipe 92 may also be integrally formed with the rigid pipe body, i.e., may be directly formed by machining at an end of the rigid pipe body.
- a cross section of an outer surface 9210 of the second pipe portion 921 is set to a circular shape, and correspondingly, an inner cavity of the sleeve 91 is set to a circular shape, i.e., the cross section of an inner surface of the sleeve 91 is set to a circular shape, which may facilitate fitting and avoid damaging the flexible pipe body 90 by cutting at sharp angles.
- an inner radius R1 of the sleeve 91 is larger than an outer radius R2 of the second pipe portion 921, and a difference (R1-R2) between the inner radius R1 of the sleeve 91 and the outer radius R2 of the second pipe portion 921 is smaller than a thickness H of the pipe wall of the flexible pipe body 90, thereby ensuring that the flexible pipe body 90 is further sandwiched through the sleeve 91 and the second pipe portion 921.
- the outer surface 9210 of the second pipe portion 921 is provided with an antiskid structure.
- the antiskid structure increases the firmness of the flexible pipe body 90 on the second pipe portion 921, and may prevent the flexible pipe body 90 from detaching from the second pipe portion 921, and meanwhile may also increase the difficulty of the refrigerant in leaking from between the flexible pipe body 90 and the second pipe portion 921, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

- a front end face 9201 of the limiting boss 920 may resist a rear end face of the sleeve 91, thereby defining an extremity position of the sleeve 91 upon moving rearward.
- the assembling may be completed when the rear end face of the sleeve 91 abuts against the front end face 9201 of the limiting boss 920, which may facilitate the operator to judge that the flexible pipe body and the rigid pipe body are mounted in position, avoid blind over-assembling, and meanwhile facilitate precisely controlling the length of a refrigerant flow path at the flexible pipe body 90 in the refrigerating system.
- the limiting boss 920 extends about the axis T of the second pipe portion 921 and assumes a shape of an annular boss, i.e., the limiting boss 920 extends around the circumference of the second pipe portion 921 about the axis T.
- the front end face 9201 of the limiting boss 920 may abut against the rear end face of the sleeve 91 in the circumferential direction, thereby further extending a path on which the refrigerant leaks out of the pipe connecting mechanism 9 and enhancing the sealing effect.
- an outer diameter of a front end pipe portion 911 of the sleeve 91 is smaller than the outer diameter of a rear end pipe portion 912 of the sleeve 91, so that the outer surface of the sleeve 91 is stepped, that is, the front end pipe portion 911 is relatively thin and the rear end pipe portion 912 is relatively thick.
- An outer surface of the front end pipe portion 911 and an outer surface of the rear end pipe portion 912 are connected through a surface 9121. In other words, the surface 9121 may be taken as the front end face of the rear end pipe portion 912.

However, these embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model. Structural, methodological or functional variations made by those having ordinary skill in the art according to these embodiments are all included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 through FIG. 3b , they illustrate arefrigerating system 100 in a first embodiment of the present utility model. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , the refrigeratingsystem 100 has a flow circuit in which a refrigerant flows in a circulating manner. In a front-rear direction defined by a flow direction of the refrigerant, the refrigeratingsystem 100 comprises acompressor 1, acondenser 2, athrottle pipeline 3, atransition pipe 7, and anevaporator 4 connected in series in sequence. - Specifically, an exhaust pipe of the
compressor 1 is connected to an ingress end of thecondenser 2, and a gas return pipe of thecompressor 1 is connected to an egress end of theevaporator 4; thethrottle pipeline 3 is communicated between an egress end of thecondenser 2 and an ingress end of theevaporator 4. - A circulation process of the refrigerant in the
refrigerating system 100 is theoretically roughly as follows: a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas in the exhaust pipe of thecompressor 1 enters thecondenser 2 and is condensed into a high-pressure saturated or supercooled liquid which then enters thethrottle pipeline 3 for throttling and depressurization, and then flows through thetransition pipe 7 into theevaporator 4 for vaporization into a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas, which returns to thecompressor 1 to be recompressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas, thereby completing the entire circulation process. - In the present utility model, the pipeline structure formed by the
throttle pipeline 3, thetransition pipe 7 and the ingress end of therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4 is improved to solve the problem about the spurting of noise in the prior art. - Specifically, the
throttle pipeline 3 comprises acapillary body 30 and an expanded pipe 31. Thecapillary body 30 is a capillary pipe in which a channel has a constant cross-sectional area and which is constructed to have a length of more than half of thethrottle pipeline 3; a cross-sectional area of a channel in the expanded pipe 31 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the channel in thecapillary body 30. - Referring to
FIG. 2a andFIG. 2b , thethrottle pipeline 3 comprises at least two expanded pipes 31 spaced sequentially from front to rear. One of the expanded pipes 31 is connected in series between thecapillary body 30 and thetransition pipe 7, that is, the expanded pipe 31 defines a rear end of thethrottle pipeline 3; the remaining expanded pipes 31 are connected in series in thecapillary body 30 to divide thecapillary body 30 into at least two capillary segments. - In the present application, the expanded pipes are distinguished in a way that one expanded pipe 31 connected in series between the
capillary body 30 and thetransition pipe 7 is defined as the last expanded pipe 31-2, and the remaining expanded pipes 31 connected in series in thecapillary body 30 are defined as intermediate expanded pipes 31-1, for ease of understanding and description. - As stated above, if the number of expanded pipes 31 is at least two, the number of intermediate expanded pipes 31-1 is at least one. Accordingly, the at least one intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 divides the
capillary body 30 into at least two capillary segments. To put it another way, thecapillary body 30 comprises at least two spaced-apart capillary segments, and two adjacent capillary segments are communicated through an intermediate expanded pipe 31-1. In this way, thethrottle pipeline 3 constitutes a pipeline structure of [capillary-- middle expanded pipe 31-1] ∗n-capillary-- last expanded pipe 31-2, where n is a positive integer. - In the present embodiment, the number of expanded pipes 31 is exemplified as two: one last expanded pipe 31-2, and one intermediate expanded pipe 31-1; wherein the one intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 divides the
capillary body 30 into two capillary segments, namely, the capillary 30-1 and the capillary 30-2; the last expanded pipe 31-2 is connected between the last capillary segment (i.e., capillary 30-2) and thetransition pipe 7. Certainly, it may be appreciated that the number of expanded pipes 31 may be three or more, and accordingly, thecapillary body 30 is divided into three or more capillary segments. - The cross-sectional area of the channel in the last expanded pipe 31-2 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel in the
transition pipe 7; furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the channel in thetransition pipe 7 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel in therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4. - Therefore, as compared with prior art, the refrigerating
system 100 according to the present embodiment achieves stage-wise attenuation and smoothing of the spurt and pulsation, substantially reduces the problem of the noise caused by the break of bubbles during the spurting, decreases the outward, forward and backward transfer of the spurting pulsation along the pipeline of therefrigerating system 100, and avoids the noise amplification phenomenon caused by vibration transmission, by disposing the expanded pipes 31 in the middle of and at the rear end of thecapillary body 30, disposing thetransition pipe 7 between the last expanded pipe 31-2 and therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4, and setting the relationship of the magnitude of the cross-sectional areas of the channels in thecapillary body 30, expanded pipes 31,transition pipe 7, and therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4. - In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the channel in each expanded pipe 31 among all the expanded pipes 31 including the last expanded pipe 31-2 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel in the
transition pipe 7. As such, the cross-sectional area of the channel in thethrottle pipeline 3 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel in thetransition pipe 7. - On the one hand, since there is the capillary 30-2 behind the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1, under a pressure-retaining effect of the capillary 30-2, the refrigerant will not spurt at a high rate like a conventional capillary spurting port when the refrigerant enters the middle expanded pipe 31-1, and the refrigerant will not generate a lot of bubbles like the conventional capillary spurting port when the refrigerant flows in the middle expanded pipe 31-1, and the bubbles will break with a small volume and will not generate a large noise; on the other hand, the refrigerant mostly spurts upon entering the last expanded pipe 31-2 and the transition pipe 7 from the capillary; since the refrigerant is already partly converted from a liquid phase into a gaseous phase at the preceding middle expanded pipe 31-1, the gas phase in the refrigerant entering the last expanded pipe 31-2 is in a larger proportion as compared with the conventional capillary spurting port; then, the cross-sectional area in the channels in the last expanded pipe 31-2, the transition pipe 7 and the refrigerant pipe 41 of the evaporator 4 gradually increases, the pulsation of the liquid flow is attenuated and smoothed so that the spurting noise is very small; in another aspect, since after the pulsation of the liquid flow is gradually attenuated and smoothed after the liquid flows through at least two expanded pipes 31, the vibration greatly reduces; furthermore, the forward vibration along the pipeline of the refrigerant is absorbed at the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1, and the rearward vibration is absorbed at the last expanded pipe 31-2, substantially reducing the noise amplification phenomenon caused by the outward transmission of the pulsation upon the spurting.
- Furthermore, referring to
FIG. 1 , the egress end of thecondenser 2 and the ingress end of theevaporator 4 are communicated through a sole refrigerant flow path, and thethrottle pipeline 3 is disposed in the sole refrigerant flow path that communicates the egress end of thecondenser 2 with the ingress end of theevaporator 4. That is, when therefrigerating system 100 performs refrigeration, the refrigerant in thecondenser 2 inevitably needs to enter theevaporator 4 through thethrottle pipeline 3. - In the present embodiment, the egress end of the
condenser 2 is provided with a dryingfilter 5, and a front end of thethrottle pipeline 3 is fixedly fitted with the dryingfilter 5, that is, the front end of the foremost capillary segment 30-1 is fixedly fitted with the dryingfilter 5. - Furthermore, any two expanded pipes 31 may be set in the same shape or different shapes.
- In the present embodiment, any two expanded pipes 31 may be set in the same shape. Each expanded pipe 31 comprises a main body pipe provided as a first equal-diameter pipe with a constant cross-sectional area of the channel in the pipe. More specifically, each expanded pipe 31 is provided as an equal-diameter pipe structure.
- Specifically, the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is arranged such that a front end of the main body pipe of the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is connected with a rear end of a preceding capillary segment 30-1 to form a vertical stepped surface, and a rear end of the main body pipe of the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is connected with a front end of a following capillary segment 30-2 to form a vertical stepped surface.
- The last expanded pipe 31-2 is arranged such that the front end of main body pipe of the last expanded pipe 31-2 is connected with the rear end of the capillary 30-2 to form a vertical stepped surface, and the rear end of the main body pipe of the last expanded pipe 31-2 is connected with the front end of the
transition pipe 7. - Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the channel in the main body pipe of each expanded pipe 31 is 4 to 75 times the cross-sectional area of the channel in the
capillary body 30. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the
transition pipe 7 comprises an equal-diameter pipe 72, a flaredpipe 71, and a flaredpipe 73. - The flared
pipe 71 and the flaredpipe 73 are connected to a front end and a rear end of the equal-diameter pipe 72, respectively. - The flared
pipe 71 is connected in series between the rear end of thethrottle pipeline 3 and the front end of the equal-diameter pipe 72, and is specifically connected in series between the rear end of the main body pipe of the last expanded pipe 31-2 and the front end of the equal-diameter pipe 72. The cross-sectional area of a channel in the flaredpipe 71 gradually increases from the cross-sectional area of the channel in the main body pipe of the last expanded pipe 31-2 at the rear end from front to rear to the cross-sectional area of the channel in the equal-diameter pipe 72, i.e., the cross-sectional area of the channel in the flaredpipe 71 at the front end is equal to the cross-sectional area of the channel in the main body pipe of the last extended pipe 31-2 at the rear end, and the cross-sectional area of the channel in the flaredpipe 72 at the rear end is equal to the cross-sectional area of the channel in the equal-diameter pipe 72. - The flared
pipe 73 is connected in series between the rear end of the equal-diameter pipe 72 and the front end of therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4. The cross-sectional area of a channel in the flaredpipe 73 gradually increases from the cross-sectional area of the channel in the equal-diameter pipe 72 from front to rear to the cross-sectional area of the channel in therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4. - In this way, with the flared
pipe 71 and the flaredpipe 73 being provided, it is possible to achieve a smooth transition between the cross-sectional area of the channel in the equal-diameter pipe 72 of thetransition pipe 7 and the cross-sectional area of the channel in thethrottle pipeline 3 and the cross-sectional area of the channel in theevaporator 4, and to avoid the problem of the noise caused by sudden changes in the cross-sectional area of the channels in these pipes. Certainly, in a variant embodiment, thetransition pipe 7 may also be provided as a flared transition pipe, and the cross-sectional area of the channel ins the flared transition pipe gradually increases from the cross-sectional area of the channel in the main body pipe of the last expanded pipe 31-2 at the rear end from front to rear to the cross-sectional area of the channel in therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4, i.e., thethrottle pipeline 3 is connected to therefrigerant pipe 41 of theevaporator 4 via the flared transition pipe. - Preferably, in the present embodiment, both the
throttle pipeline 3 and thetransition pipe 7 are provided as circular pipes, and the cross sections of the channels in thethrottle pipeline 3 and thetransition pipe 7 at all positions are circular. Certainly, the shapes of the cross sections of the channels in thethrottle pipeline 3 andtransition pipe 7 at all positions are not limited to this, and may also be square, hexagonal, elliptical, waist-shaped, or other feasible suitable shapes. - Correspondingly, the size relationship of the cross-sectional area of the channels in the respective pipes described above corresponds to the size relationship of inner diameters of the respective pipes. For example, if the cross-sectional area of the channel in the
throttle pipeline 3 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel in thetransition pipe 7, the inner diameter of thethrottle pipeline 3 is correspondingly smaller than the inner diameter of thetransition pipe 7. - In addition, in the present embodiment an inner wall of the flared
pipe 71 may be set as an inclined surface or an inwardly-convex arc surface or an outwardly-recessed arc surface in a front-rear direction, and likewise, an inner wall of the flaredpipe 73 may also be set as an inclined surface or an inwardly-convex arc surface or an outwardly-recessed arc surface in a front-rear direction. Certainly, an inner wall of the flared transition pipe in a variant embodiment may be also set as an inclined surface in a front-rear direction or an inwardly-convex arc surface or an outwardly-recessed arc surface. - Preferably, the
throttle pipeline 3 is arranged such that one section of the pipeline is a flexible pipe, and the remaining section of the pipeline is a rigid pipe integrally formed of copper or steel. Specifically, a rear section of thethrottle pipeline 3 is a flexible pipe and a front section of thethrottle pipeline 3 is a rigid pipe integrally formed of copper or steel. - In the present embodiment, a section extending from rear to front from the rear end (as indicated by C8 in
FIG. 2b ) of the last expanded pipe 31-2, at least to the front end (as indicated by C2 inFIG. 2b ) of the last intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is set as the flexible pipe, i.e., a section of thethrottle pipeline 3 between the position indicated by C2 and the position indicated by C8 inFIG. 2b is the flexible pipe, and the section of thethrottle pipeline 3 before the position indicated by C2 is the rigid pipe. In this way, on the one hand, the vibration of the break of the bubbles generated in the spurting of the last expanded pipe 31 acts on the wall of the flexible pipe and may be absorbed by the flexible pipe, thereby ensuring effective reduction of the vibration and noise; on the other hand, the flexible pipe may also avoid the forward and backward transmission of the vibration along thethrottle pipeline 3, thereby reducing the transmission of the vibration. - More preferably, a section of the
throttle pipeline 3 extending from rear to front from the rear end (as indicated by C8 inFIG. 2b ) of the last expanded pipe 31-2, to the front end of the frontmost intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is set as the flexible pipe, i.e., all the expanded pipes 31 and the capillaries between the expanded pipes 31 are all set as the flexible pipes, and only the frontmost capillary segment 30-1 is set as the rigid pipe; it may be appreciated that corresponding to the present embodiment shown in the figures, as previously described there is only one intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 so that the frontmost intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is the last intermediate expanded pipe 31-1, and is all the intermediate expanded pipe 31-1, and the front end of the frontmost intermediate expanded pipe 31-1 is the position indicated by C2 in the figure. In this way, the vibration of the break of the bubbles occurring in each expanded pipe 31 directly acts on the wall of the flexible pipe, and may be absorbed by the flexible pipe, thereby reducing the outward transmission of the vibration. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the rigid pipe of the
throttle pipeline 3 may be fixedly connected with the dryingfilter 5 by welding or other means, that is, the front end of thecapillary body 30 may be fixedly connected with the dryingfilter 5 by welding or other means. - Furthermore, the flexible pipe of the
throttle pipeline 3 is integrally formed with all or part of thetransition pipe 7, that is, all or part of thetransition pipe 7 is also provided as a flexible pipe, and the flexible pipe of thetransition pipe 7 and the flexible pipe of thethrottle pipeline 3 are integrally arranged. For example, thetransition pipe 7 may be provided in a way that the flaredpipe 71 is a flexible pipe and the remaining pipe section of thetransition pipe 7 is a rigid pipe, or in a way that the flaredpipe 71 and the equal-diameter pipe 72 are flexible pipes and the remaining pipe section is a rigid pipe, or in a way that all of thetransition pipe 7 is a flexible pipe. In this way, the vibration caused by the break of the bubbles at thetransition pipe 7 may act on the pipe wall of the flexible pipe, and the vibration may be absorbed by the flexible pipe, thereby ensuring effective reduction of the vibration and noise. - According to the foregoing, in the present embodiment, an integrally formed flexible pipe body is disposed in the pipeline composed of the
throttle pipeline 3, thetransition pipe 7, and therefrigerant pipe 41 of the evaporator 4: the front end of the flexible pipe body is located at the position indicated by C2 shown inFIG. 2b , and is connected with the preceding rigid pipe body at the position indicated by C2; the rear end of the flexible pipe body is located in the middle (e.g., at a position indicated by C9 or C10 or C11) or at the rear end (e.g., at a position indicated by C12) of thetransition pipe 7, and is connected with the following rigid pipe body at the corresponding position. - Certainly, it may be appreciated that in a variant embodiment, the front end of the flexible pipe body may also be located at other positions besides C2, for example, in the middle (the position indicated by C3 of
FIG. 2b ) or at the rear end (the position indicated by C4 ofFIG. 2b ) of any intermediate expanded pipe 31-1, or at the front end (the position indicated by C6 ofFIG. 2b ) of the last expanded pipe 31-2; in another variant embodiment, the rear end of the flexible pipe body may also be located at other positions besides C9 or C10 or C11 or C12, for example located at the rear end (the position indicated by C8 ofFIG. 2b ) of the last expanded pipe 31-2. In this case, thetransition pipe 7, on the whole, is provided as a rigid pipe integrally formed of copper or steel, and is assembled and connected with thethrottle pipeline 3; In yet another variant embodiment, the rear end of the flexible pipe body may also be located in the middle (the position indicated by C7 ofFIG. 2b ) of or at a more forward position of the last expanded pipe 31-2. In this case, the rear pipe segment of the last expanded pipe 31-2 is a rigid pipe integrally formed of copper or steel, may be fixedly connected to thetransition pipe 7 by welding or other means, or may be integrally formed with thetransition pipe 7; In a further variant embodiment, thethrottle pipeline 3 may be provided as a flexible pipe on the whole, assembled and connected with the dryingfilter 5, fixedly assembled and connected with thetransition pipe 7, or may be integrally formed with all or part of thetransition pipe 7; In a further variant embodiment, thethrottle pipeline 3 may be provided as a rigid pipe integrally formed of copper, steel, or other materials, fixedly connected with the dryingfilter 5 by welding or other means, fixedly connected with thetransition pipe 7 by welding or other means, or integrally formed with all or part of thetransition pipe 7. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, with reference to
FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b , the aforementioned flexible pipe body and rigid pipe body may be assembled and connected through apipe connecting mechanism 9. That is, thepipe connecting mechanism 9 may achieve a fixed connection between theflexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body, thereby enabling the refrigerant to flow smoothly from theflexible pipe body 90 into the rigid pipe body, or from the rigid pipe body into theflexible pipe body 90. - To facilitate understanding and depiction, the
pipe connecting mechanism 9 at the rear end of theflexible pipe body 90 is taken as an example to introduce the structure of thepipe connecting mechanism 9 in detail, i.e., hereunder, the orientations of the front and rear of parts of thepipe connecting mechanism 9 are based on a reference premise that theflexible pipe body 90 is in the front and the rigid pipe body is in the rear; correspondingly, if thepipe connecting mechanism 9 is at the front end of theflexible pipe body 90, i.e., the reference premise is that theflexible pipe body 90 in the rear and the rigid pipe body in the front, orientations of the front and rear of parts of thepipe connecting mechanism 9 all will change to the reverse. For example, hereinafter, "afirst pipe portion 922 is formed at a rear end of aconnector pipe 92, and asecond pipe portion 921 is formed at a front end of theconnector pipe 92" should be changed to "afirst pipe portion 922 is formed at a front end of aconnector pipe 92, and asecond pipe portion 921 is formed at a rear end of theconnector pipe 92". - Specifically, the
pipe connecting mechanism 9 at the rear end of theflexible pipe body 90 is taken as an example. Thepipe connecting mechanism 9 comprises aconnector pipe 92 and asleeve 91. - The
connector pipe 92 is provided as a straight pipe extending in a front-rear direction, and has afirst pipe portion 922 and asecond pipe portion 921 arranged at opposite ends, respectively. Thefirst pipe portion 922 is formed at a rear end of theconnector pipe 92, and thesecond pipe portion 921 is formed at a front end of theconnector pipe 92. - The
first pipe portion 922 is fixedly connected to the rigid pipe body, thesecond pipe portion 921 is inserted into theflexible pipe body 90 from the rear to the front, and thesecond pipe portion 921 supports theflexible pipe body 90 in an interference-fitted manner. - The
sleeve 91 is sleeved outside theflexible pipe body 90 and moves towards theconnector pipe 92 from front to back, and is sleeved outside thesecond pipe portion 921. In this way, thesleeve 91 may clamp and fix theflexible pipe body 90 together with thesecond pipe portion 921, that is, thesecond pipe portion 921 supports theflexible pipe body 90 from the inside in an interference-fitted manner, while thesleeve 91 presses theflexible pipe body 90 from the outside inward, so that theflexible pipe body 90 is tightly clamped and fixed between thesleeve 91 and thesecond pipe portion 921. - In this way, the
pipe connecting mechanism 9 ensures the sealing performance between theflexible pipe body 90 and thesecond pipe portion 921, and avoids the refrigerant from leaking along a gap between theflexible pipe body 90 and thesecond pipe portion 921 in a way that thesecond pipe portion 921 supports theflexible pipe body 90 in an interference-fitted manner. Meanwhile, thepipe connecting mechanism 9 may quickly achieve the connection between theflexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body through the plugging operation between both of thesleeve 91 andconnector pipe 92 and theflexible pipe body 90, without requiring other extra structural members (i.e., thepipe connecting mechanism 90 only needs to consist of thesleeve 91 and the connector pipe 92). The pipe connecting mechanism is simple in structure, simple and convenient in operation, highly efficient in assembling and integrates two aspects, namely, the assembling efficiency and the sealing performance. - Furthermore, the
first pipe portion 922 may be specifically connected to the rigid pipe body by welding. Certainly, in a variant embodiment, theconnector pipe 92 may also be integrally formed with the rigid pipe body, i.e., may be directly formed by machining at an end of the rigid pipe body. - Preferably, a cross section of an
outer surface 9210 of thesecond pipe portion 921 is set to a circular shape, and correspondingly, an inner cavity of thesleeve 91 is set to a circular shape, i.e., the cross section of an inner surface of thesleeve 91 is set to a circular shape, which may facilitate fitting and avoid damaging theflexible pipe body 90 by cutting at sharp angles. - Furthermore, an inner radius R1 of the
sleeve 91 is larger than an outer radius R2 of thesecond pipe portion 921, and a difference (R1-R2) between the inner radius R1 of thesleeve 91 and the outer radius R2 of thesecond pipe portion 921 is smaller than a thickness H of the pipe wall of theflexible pipe body 90, thereby ensuring that theflexible pipe body 90 is further sandwiched through thesleeve 91 and thesecond pipe portion 921. - In addition, in the present embodiment, the
outer surface 9210 of thesecond pipe portion 921 is provided with an antiskid structure. When thesecond pipe portion 921 supports theflexible pipe body 90 with in an interference-fitted manner, the antiskid structure increases the firmness of theflexible pipe body 90 on thesecond pipe portion 921, and may prevent theflexible pipe body 90 from detaching from thesecond pipe portion 921, and meanwhile may also increase the difficulty of the refrigerant in leaking from between theflexible pipe body 90 and thesecond pipe portion 921, thereby ensuring the sealing effect. - The antiskid structure is configured as a protrusion protruding outwardly from the
outer surface 9210 of thesecond pipe portion 921, or as a groove recessed inwardly into theouter surface 9210 of thesecond pipe portion 921. - Furthermore, the
connector pipe 92 has a limitingboss 920 protruding outward from thesecond pipe portion 921, that is, an outer surface of the limitingboss 920 is arranged away from an axis T relative to theouter surface 9210 of thesecond pipe portion 921. Afront end face 9201 of the limitingboss 920 may resist a rear end face of thesleeve 91, thereby defining an extremity position of thesleeve 91 upon moving rearward. - In this way, when the
flexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body are assembled, the assembling may be completed when the rear end face of thesleeve 91 abuts against thefront end face 9201 of the limitingboss 920, which may facilitate the operator to judge that the flexible pipe body and the rigid pipe body are mounted in position, avoid blind over-assembling, and meanwhile facilitate precisely controlling the length of a refrigerant flow path at theflexible pipe body 90 in the refrigerating system. - Preferably, the limiting
boss 920 extends about the axis T of thesecond pipe portion 921 and assumes a shape of an annular boss, i.e., the limitingboss 920 extends around the circumference of thesecond pipe portion 921 about the axis T. As such, when the assembling of theflexible pipe body 90 and the rigid pipe body is completed through thepipe connecting mechanism 9, thefront end face 9201 of the limitingboss 920 may abut against the rear end face of thesleeve 91 in the circumferential direction, thereby further extending a path on which the refrigerant leaks out of thepipe connecting mechanism 9 and enhancing the sealing effect. - Furthermore, an outer diameter of a front
end pipe portion 911 of thesleeve 91 is smaller than the outer diameter of a rearend pipe portion 912 of thesleeve 91, so that the outer surface of thesleeve 91 is stepped, that is, the frontend pipe portion 911 is relatively thin and the rearend pipe portion 912 is relatively thick. An outer surface of the frontend pipe portion 911 and an outer surface of the rearend pipe portion 912 are connected through asurface 9121. In other words, thesurface 9121 may be taken as the front end face of the rearend pipe portion 912. In this way, with the structure that is thin in the front and thick in the rear being provided, when thesleeve 91 is sleeved to the outside of thesecond pipe portion 921, thesurface 9121 is pushed forward to apply a pushing force to press thesleeve 91 towards the limitingboss 920, which facilitates the application of the force during mounting. - Similarly, the limiting
boss 920 also protrudes outward from thefirst pipe portion 922, that is, the outer surface of the limitingboss 920 is arranged away from the axis T relative to the outer surface of thefirst pipe portion 922. The outer surface of the limitingboss 920 and the outer surface of thefirst pipe part 922 are connected in a stepped shape through thesurface 9202. In other words, thesurface 9202 may be regarded as the rear end face of the limitingboss 920. In this way, when thesleeve 91 is sleeved to the outside of thesecond pipe portion 921, thesurface 9202 is pushed rearward to apply a pushing force to press thesleeve 91 towards the limitingboss 920, which facilitates the application of the force during mounting. - Furthermore, the
sleeve 91 is provided as an integrally-formed metal member, and theconnector pipe 92 is also provided as an integrally-formed metal member. Both thesleeve 91 and theconnector pipe 92 may be made of copper, steel, or other materials. - The above only provides one type of
pipe connecting mechanism 9 for application in therefrigerating system 100 to thereby assemble and connect the rigid pipe body with the flexible pipe body of thethrottle pipeline 3 and/or the flexible pipe body of thetransition pipe 7. Certainly, it may be appreciated that other pipe connecting structures known in the art may also be used to achieve the connection of the rigid pipe body with the flexible pipe body of thethrottle pipeline 3 and/or the flexible pipe body of thetransition pipe 7, and the present utility model is not limited to thispipe connecting mechanism 9. - Hereunder, referring to
FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b , a second embodiment of the refrigerating system of the present utility model is provided. The difference between the present embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is only as follows: - In the present embodiment, the front end of the main body pipe of the intermediate expanded
pipe 31a-1 and the rear end of the preceding capillary 30a-1 are not connected in a vertical stepped surface as in the first embodiment, but are arranged such that the rear end of the preceding capillary 30a-1 passes through the front end of the main body pipe of the intermediate expandedpipe 31a-1 and extends rearward into the intermediate expandedpipe 31a-1; moreover, the rear end of the main body pipe and the front end of the followingcapillary segment 30a-2 are not connected in a vertical stepped surface as in the first embodiment, but are arranged such that the front end of the followingcapillary segment 30a-2 passes through the rear end of the main body pipe of the intermediate expandedpipe 31a-1 and extends forward into the intermediate expandedpipe 31a-1. - Similarly, the front end of the main body pipe of the last expanded
pipe 31a-2 and the rear end of the capillary 30a-2 are not connected in a vertical stepped surface as in the first embodiment, but are arranged such that the rear end of the capillary 30a-2 passes through the front end of the main body pipe of the last expandedpipe 31a-2 and extends rearward into the last expandedpipe 31a-2. - That is, in the present embodiment, an insertion type structure is employed between the capillary 30a and each expanded
pipe 31a. The end of the capillary 30a is inserted into the expandedpipe 31a, and the end of thecapillary body 30a is wrapped from the outside by the refrigerant in the expandedpipe 31a. - The remaining technical content of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be further described.
- Next, with reference to
FIG. 5a andFIG. 5b , a third embodiment of the refrigerating system of the present utility model is provided. The difference between the present embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is as follows: - In the aforementioned first embodiment, each expanded pipe 31 is provided with an equal-diameter pipe structure, which comprises a main body pipe. The main body pipe is provided with a first equal-diameter pipe with a constant cross-sectional area of the channel inside the pipe, and the first equal-diameter pipe is also the main body pipe, namely, the expanded pipe 31;
- However, in the present embodiment, the expanded
pipe 31b is not configured as an equal-diameter pipe structure. The expandedpipe 31b comprises amain body pipe 312b configured as the first equal-diameter pipe, and the cross-sectional area of the channel in themain body pipe 312b is 4 to 75 times the cross-sectional area of the channel in the capillary body 10, and each expandedpipe 31b further comprises a flaredpipe 311b. - The flared
pipe 311b is connected in series between the front end of themain body pipe 312b and the rear end of the preceding capillary 30b-1, that is, a front end of the flaredpipe 311b starts from the rear end of the preceding capillary 30b-1, and a rear end of the flaredpipe 311b terminates at the front end of themain body pipe 312b; Moreover, the cross-sectional area of the channel in the flaredpipe 311b gradually increases from the cross-sectional area of the channel in thecapillary body 30b from the front to the rear to the cross-sectional area of the channel in the first equal-diameter pipe (i.e., themain body pipe 312b). - If the
throttle pipeline 3 is arranged as a circular pipe, an inner diameter of the flaredpipe 311b assumes an inclined surface or an inwardly-convex arc surface or an outwardly-recessed arc surface in a front-rear direction, and the inner diameter of the flaredpipe 311b gradually increases from the inner diameter of thecapillary body 30b to the inner diameter of the first equal-diameter pipe (i.e., themain body pipe 312b). In this way, the refrigerant may smoothly enter themain body pipe 312b of the expandedpipe 31b from the capillary, reducing the flow noise caused by sudden changes in the inner diameter of the pipe. - Furthermore, the difference between the present embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is that the intermediate expanded
pipe 31b-1 further comprisesclosure pipes 313b. - The
closure pipes 313b are connected in series between the rear end of themain body pipe 312b and the front end of the followingcapillary segment 30b-2, that is, a front end of theclosure pipe 313b starts from the rear end of themain body pipe 312b, and a rear end of theclosure pipe 313b terminates at the front end of the followingcapillary segment 30b-2; in addition, a cross-sectional area of a channel in theclosure pipe 313b gradually decreases from the cross-sectional area of the channel in themain body pipe 312b from the front to the rear to the cross-sectional area of the channel in thecapillary body 30b. - In a case where the
throttle pipeline 3 is arranged as a circular pipe, an inner diameter of theclosure pipe 313b assumes an inclined surface or an inwardly-convex arc surface or an outwardly-recessed arc surface in a front-rear direction, and the inner diameter of the first equal-diameter pipe (namely, themain body pipe 312b) gradually reduces to the inner diameter of thecapillary body 30b. In this way, the refrigerant may smoothly enter the capillary from themain body pipe 312b of the expandedpipe 31b, reducing the flow noise caused by sudden changes in the inner diameter of the pipe. - The remaining technical content of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be further described.
- Hereinafter, with reference to
FIG. 6a and FIG. 6b , a fourth embodiment of the refrigerating system of the present utility model is provided. - The difference between the present embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is as follows:
- In the aforementioned first embodiment, each expanded pipe 31 is provided with an equal-diameter pipe structure, which comprises a main body pipe.
