図１，２に示すように、前記吸熱器Ｅは、一般の冷蔵庫ＲＥの冷蔵室内に配設されていて該室内の冷気により冷却されるように構成されるものであり、後述する放熱器Ｒと同じく、熱伝導性のよい金属材、合成樹脂材よりなる吸熱板１に、吸熱通路２をジグザグ状に屈曲形成して構成されており、その吸熱器Ｅの入口３および出口４には、２本の循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２の吸熱側パイプ２０1 ，２０2 がそれぞれ接続されている。吸熱側パイプ２０1 ，２０2 は、それぞれ２本に分離されていて、それらがジョイントｊ，ｊにより着脱可能に接続される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heat absorber E is disposed in a refrigerating room of a general refrigerator RE and is configured to be cooled by the cold air in the room. In the same manner, the heat absorption plate 1 made of a metal material having good heat conductivity and a synthetic resin material is formed by bending the heat absorption passage 2 in a zigzag shape, and the inlet 3 and the outlet 4 of the heat absorber E are The heat absorption side pipes 20 1 and 20 2 of the two circulation pipes P1 and P2 are connected to each other. Each of the heat absorption side pipes 20 1 and 20 2 is separated into two parts, which are detachably connected by joints j and j.

また、図１，３に示すように、前記放熱器Ｒは、観賞魚を飼育する水槽Ｖ内に、該水槽Ｖ内の水に浸漬された状態で配置され、そこを循環する冷却された冷媒、すなわち水により、水槽Ｖ内の水を冷却するように構成されるものであり、図３，９に示すように、熱伝導性のよい金属材、合成樹脂材よりなる吸熱板１１に、放熱通路１２をジグザグ状に屈曲形成して構成されている。図３，８に示すように、放熱器Ｒの入口１３には、循環ポンプＰＵの吐出口３５が接続され、また、放熱器Ｒの出口１４には、一方の循環パイプＰ２の放熱側パイプ２２2 が接続されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the radiator R is disposed in a water tank V for breeding ornamental fish in a state of being immersed in the water in the water tank V, and is a cooled refrigerant that circulates there. That is, the water in the water tank V is cooled by water, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, heat is dissipated to the heat absorbing plate 11 made of a metal material having good thermal conductivity or a synthetic resin material.

In the refrigerant tank T, water as a refrigerant is accommodated. The refrigerant tank T functions as a priming tank for the circulation pump PU and is used to fill the circulation circuit composed of the heat absorber E, the radiator R and the circulation pipes P1 and P2 with a cap. If the circulation pump PU is operated while injecting water into the refrigerant tank T after opening 39, the water in the refrigerant tank T is filled into the circulation circuit. When the circulation circuit is filled with water, the inlet 38 of the refrigerant tank T is closed airtight by the cap 39. Thereafter, according to the operation of the circulation pump PU, water can be circulated in the circulation circuit.

吸熱器Ｅと放熱器Ｒを接続する循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２は、冷蔵庫ＲＥ内より、その外部に引き出せるように、その途中に偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 を有している。この偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 には、後に述べるように、吸熱側パイプ２０1 ，２０2 と放熱側パイプ２２1 ，２２2 とにそれぞれ抜差可能に連通接続されて、それらと共に循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２を構成するものであり、図４〜６に示すように、ゴム、合成樹脂などの弾性体により、偏平な長方形状に形成されていてその内部に冷媒通路を確保するための硬質の保形材２４が封入されいる。また、図５に最も明瞭に示すように、偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 の両端には、接続パイプ２５1 ，２５2 および２６1 ，２６2 がそれぞれ接続されており、一方の接続パイプ２５1 ，２５2 には、ジョイントｊ，ｊを介して吸熱側パイプ２０1 ，２０2 が抜差自在に接続され、また、他方の接続パイプ２６1 ，２６2 には、ジョイントｊ，ｊを介して放熱側パイプ２２1 ，２２2 が抜差自在に接続される。 The circulation pipes P1 and P2 connecting the heat absorber E and the heat radiator R have flat pipes 23 1 and 23 2 in the middle thereof so that they can be drawn out of the refrigerator RE.

ところで、この偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 の、前記隙間ｄへの挿通により、図４に示すように、冷蔵庫ＲＥの蓋体４１の内周面に設けられるシールパッキン４３は、押し潰されるが、これにより、冷蔵庫ＲＥの気密性が損なわれることはなく、また、蓋体４１の開閉に支障を及ぼすこともない。 By the way, by inserting the flat pipes 23 1 and 23 2 into the gap d, the seal packing 43 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lid 41 of the refrigerator RE is crushed as shown in FIG. Thereby, the airtightness of the refrigerator RE is not impaired, and the opening / closing of the lid 41 is not hindered.

図１に示すように、吸熱器Ｅは冷蔵庫ＲＥの冷蔵室に配置され、一方、放熱器Ｒは水槽Ｖ内に配置され、必要に応じて吸盤１６などで水槽Ｖの壁面に固定する。このとき、放熱器Ｒはその全体が水槽Ｖ内の水に浸漬するようにする。   As shown in FIG. 1, the heat absorber E is disposed in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator RE, while the radiator R is disposed in the water tank V and is fixed to the wall surface of the water tank V with a suction cup 16 or the like as necessary. At this time, the radiator R is entirely immersed in the water in the water tank V.

また、冷媒タンクＴを一体に設けた循環ポンプＰＵは、支持部材３０を介して水槽Ｖの隅部に設置され、この循環ポンプＰＵの吐出口３５を放熱器Ｒの入口１３に接続する。   The circulation pump PU provided integrally with the refrigerant tank T is installed at the corner of the water tank V via the support member 30, and the discharge port 35 of the circulation pump PU is connected to the inlet 13 of the radiator R.

図２に示すように、２本の循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２の、吸熱側パイプ２０1 ，２０2 の一端を、冷蔵庫ＲＥ内において、吸熱器Ｅの入口３および出口４に接続する。また、２本の循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２の偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 は、前述したように、冷蔵庫ＲＥのヒンジ連結部４２における冷蔵庫本体４０と蓋体４１との隙間ｄを挿通させたのち、それらの一端の接続パイプ２５1 ，２５2 を吸熱パイプ２０1 ，２０2 の他端にジョイントｊ，ｊを介して接続する。 As shown in FIG. 2, one end of the heat absorption side pipes 20 1 and 20 2 of the two circulation pipes P 1 and P 2 is connected to the inlet 3 and the outlet 4 of the heat absorber E in the refrigerator RE. Further, as described above, the flat pipes 23 1 and 23 2 of the two circulation pipes P1 and P2 are inserted through the gap d between the refrigerator main body 40 and the lid body 41 in the hinge connecting portion 42 of the refrigerator RE. The connection pipes 25 1 and 25 2 at one end thereof are connected to the other ends of the heat absorption pipes 20 1 and 20 2 through joints j and j.

なお、偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 のヒンジ連結部４２における冷蔵庫本体４０と蓋体４１との隙間ｄへの挿通は、冷蔵庫ＲＥの蓋体４１を開いた状態で行なう。 Note that the insertion of the flat pipes 23 1 and 23 2 into the gap d between the refrigerator main body 40 and the lid body 41 in the hinge connection portion 42 is performed with the lid body 41 of the refrigerator RE open.

２本の偏平パイプ２３1 ，２３2 の、冷蔵庫ＲＥから外に出された接続パイプ２６1 ，２６2 の他端は、循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２の、２本の放熱側パイプ２２1 ，２２2 の一端にそれぞれジョイントｊ，ｊを介して接続され、２本の放熱側パイプ２２1 ，２２2 の他端は、その一方２２1 が前記冷媒タンクＴに接続され、その他方２２2 が放熱器Ｒの出口１４に接続される。 The other flat pipes 23 1 , 23 2 , the other ends of the connection pipes 26 1 , 26 2 taken out from the refrigerator RE are the two heat radiation side pipes 22 1 , 22 2 of the circulation pipes P 1, P 2. It is connected via one end to the joints j respectively, j of the two radiation side pipe 22 1, 22 2 at the other end, one 22 1 is connected to the coolant tank T, its other 22 2 radiator Connected to R outlet 14.

本発明にかかる水槽Ｖ内の水の冷却装置を作動するにあたって、吸熱器Ｅ、放熱器Ｒおよび循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２へは予め冷媒である水を充填しておき、それらの内部にエアが残留しないようにする。   When operating the water cooling device in the water tank V according to the present invention, the heat absorber E, the radiator R and the circulation pipes P1 and P2 are filled with water as a refrigerant in advance, and air remains in them. Do not.

前述したように、吸熱器Ｅ、放熱器Ｒおよび循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２を所定位置に組み付けたのち、冷媒タンクＴのキャップ３９を開けて、該冷媒タンクＴ内に、冷媒である水を注入する。   As described above, after the heat absorber E, the heat radiator R, and the circulation pipes P1 and P2 are assembled at predetermined positions, the cap 39 of the refrigerant tank T is opened, and water as the refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant tank T. .

つぎに、循環ポンプＰＵを駆動すると、冷媒タンクＴ内の水が呼水となって、該循環ポンプＰＵ内は水で満たされ、そこから吐出した水は、図１０矢印に示すように、循環回路内を循環する。このとき、循環ポンプＰＵを所定時間継続運転することにより、循環回路内に残留するエアーは、冷媒タンクＴの、開口している注入口３８から次第に外部に排出され、循環回路内には、エアが残留しない。以上により、吸熱器Ｅ、放熱器Ｒおよび循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２よりなる循環回路内に水が充填されたら、循環ポンプＰＵの駆動を停止しても冷却装置は使用可能状態にセットされる。   Next, when the circulation pump PU is driven, the water in the refrigerant tank T becomes expiratory water, the inside of the circulation pump PU is filled with water, and the water discharged therefrom is circulated as shown by arrows in FIG. Circulate in the circuit. At this time, by continuously operating the circulation pump PU for a predetermined time, the air remaining in the circulation circuit is gradually discharged from the inlet 38 of the refrigerant tank T to the outside. Does not remain. As described above, when the circulation circuit composed of the heat absorber E, the radiator R, and the circulation pipes P1 and P2 is filled with water, the cooling device is set in a usable state even if the drive of the circulation pump PU is stopped.

ところで、水槽Ｖ内の水温が上昇して上限温度（約２８°）を超えたら、循環ポンプＰＵを駆動する。これにより、循環回路内の水は、図１０に示すように、該回路内を循環し、冷蔵庫ＲＥ内の冷気により冷やされた吸熱器Ｅ内の冷たい水は、一方の循環パイプＰ１を通って水槽Ｖ内の放熱器Ｒを循環し、水槽Ｖ内で熱交換を行い、水槽Ｖ内の水を冷したのち、温められた水は他方の循環パイプＰ２を流れ、再び冷蔵庫ＲＥ内の吸熱器Ｅに戻り、ここで再び冷やされる。したがって、水槽Ｖ内の水を、冷蔵庫ＲＥの冷気により冷やすことができ、水槽Ｖ内の水温を上限温度以下に維持することができる。   By the way, when the water temperature in the water tank V rises and exceeds the upper limit temperature (about 28 °), the circulation pump PU is driven. As a result, the water in the circulation circuit circulates in the circuit as shown in FIG. 10, and the cold water in the heat absorber E cooled by the cold air in the refrigerator RE passes through one circulation pipe P1. Circulating the radiator R in the water tank V, exchanging heat in the water tank V, cooling the water in the water tank V, the warmed water flows through the other circulation pipe P2, and again the heat absorber in the refrigerator RE Return to E, where it is cooled again. Therefore, the water in the water tank V can be cooled by the cold air of the refrigerator RE, and the water temperature in the water tank V can be maintained below the upper limit temperature.

なお、循環回路に水を充填する場合に、吸熱器Ｅ、放熱器Ｒおよび循環パイプＰ１，Ｐ２に予め水を充填しておかずに、それらを所定位置にセットしたのち、冷媒タンクＴ内にその注入口３８より水を注入しながら、循環ポンプＰＵの運転を継続することにより、循環回路に水を充填することも可能である。   In addition, when filling the circulation circuit with water, the heat absorber E, the radiator R and the circulation pipes P1 and P2 are not filled with water in advance, and after setting them in a predetermined position, the refrigerant tank T is filled with the water. It is also possible to fill the circulation circuit with water by continuing the operation of the circulation pump PU while injecting water from the injection port 38.

以上、本発明の実施例について説明したが、本発明はその実施例に限定されることなく、本発明の範囲内で種々の実施例が可能である。   As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the Example, A various Example is possible within the scope of the present invention.

たとえば、前記実施例では、吸熱器Ｅおよび放熱器Ｒは、板材に冷媒通路を一体に成形して構成されるが、これらをパイプをコイル状、ジグザグ状に屈曲成形して構成してもよい、また前記実施例では、循環ポンプＰＵおよび冷媒タンクＴは、水槽Ｖの上方に設けているが、これらを水槽Ｖの側方に設けてもよい。   For example, in the above-described embodiment, the heat absorber E and the heat radiator R are formed by integrally forming a refrigerant passage in a plate material, but these may be formed by bending a pipe into a coil shape or a zigzag shape. Moreover, in the said Example, although the circulation pump PU and the refrigerant | coolant tank T are provided above the water tank V, you may provide these in the side of the water tank V. FIG.
