Embodiment 1
As a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, fins 2 having a predetermined width are prepared. The fin 2 has an opening 3 into which the heat transfer tube is inserted in advance. In addition, a slit (not shown) for controlling the ventilation resistance is formed between the adjacent openings 3 as described later.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a heat transfer tube 7 for flowing a predetermined refrigerant through the end plate 8 is inserted, and subsequently, the heat transfer tube 7 is inserted through the corresponding opening 3 of the fin 2. The fins 2 are sequentially stacked. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the fin part 9 used as the heat exchanger which laminated | stacked the fin 2 is formed. Next, in the fin portion 9, a cut 5 is formed at a predetermined position in the middle of the direction in which the fin 2 extends. The cut 5 is formed from one end side in the width direction of the fin 2 toward the other end side, leaving the portion 6 on the other end side in the width direction.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the portion of the fin portion 9 located on one side across the cut 5 is referred to as a first fin portion 10, and the portion of the fin portion 9 located on the other side across the cut 5 is the first fin portion 10. As the second fin portion 11, the cut 5 is gradually widened from one end side, and the second fin portion 11 is bent 180 ° with respect to the first fin portion 10 as shown in FIG. 11 is superimposed on the second fin portion 10. The nail | claw part 8a provided in the end plate 8 of the 2nd fin part 11 is latched by the end plate 8 of the 1st fin part 10 in the overlapped state.

  The first fin portion 10 and the second fin portion 11 that are overlapped, the first fin portion 10 becomes, for example, a main heat exchanger (first heat exchanger) 12, and the second fin portion 11 becomes an auxiliary heat exchanger ( (Second heat exchanger) 13.

  Next, the main heat exchanger 12 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 formed in this manner are the most air flow in the air conditioner indoor unit as shown in FIG. The auxiliary heat exchanger 13 is disposed on the upstream side with respect to the air flow, and the main heat exchanger 12 is disposed on the downstream side. Similarly, other heat exchangers 14 and 15 formed by laminating fins are also arranged at predetermined positions. Thus, arrangement | positioning of the heat exchanger 1 in an air conditioner is completed, and the indoor heat exchanger is completed by connecting predetermined heat exchanger tubes (not shown) in each heat exchanger after that. To do.

  Next, as an example of the operation of the air conditioner provided with such a heat exchanger, a heating operation will be described as an example. In the case of heating operation, the heat exchanger 1 on the indoor unit side functions as a condenser, and when air is sent into the heat exchanger 1 by the crossflow fan 20, the air sent in and the refrigerant flowing through the heat transfer pipe Heat exchange takes place between them.

  In this case, the refrigerant made into a high-temperature gas by the compressor of the outdoor unit (both not shown) first flows into the main heat exchanger 12. The refrigerant that has flowed into the main heat exchanger 12 exchanges heat with air as it flows through the heat transfer tube, and gradually liquefies to become a gas-liquid two-phase state. The refrigerant in the gas-liquid two-phase state flows out from the main heat exchanger 12 and finally flows into the auxiliary heat exchanger 13. The refrigerant flowing into the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 is supercooled while flowing through the heat transfer tube, and flows out of the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 as a low-temperature liquid refrigerant.

  Since the main heat exchanger 12 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 in the heat exchanger 1 are separated, the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 that is filled with a low-temperature refrigerant when the heat exchanger 1 is used as a condenser. Is separated from the main heat exchanger 12, and the temperature of the main heat exchanger 12 can be kept high. As a result, the temperature difference between the air and the heat exchanger 1 is increased, and the heat exchange rate of the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 can be improved. The air conditioner including the heat exchanger manufactured by the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment is configured and operates as described above.

  According to the heat exchanger manufacturing method described above, the main heat exchanger 12 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 widen the predetermined cut 5 provided in the fin portion 9 formed by stacking the plurality of fins 2. The second fin portion 11 is bent by 180 ° with respect to the first fin portion 10, and the second fin portion 11 is overlapped with the second fin portion 10.

  Thereby, compared with the case where a main heat exchanger and an auxiliary heat exchanger are manufactured separately and assembled like a heat exchanger in a conventional air conditioner, productivity of the heat exchanger can be improved. At the same time, parts can be shared.

  In the heat exchanger for an air conditioner described above, the second fin portion is folded 180 ° with respect to the first fin portion based on a predetermined cut 5 and overlapped with the first fin portion to assist the main heat exchanger.

The number of rows is the number of rows of heat transfer tubes arranged in the width direction of the fin portion. The number of rows described above is an example, and a predetermined cut is provided along the direction in which the fin portion 9 extends. Thus, the number of rows of heat transfer tubes can be increased or decreased with respect to the initial number of rows.

Modification 5
First, after the fin portion 9 is formed by laminating the fins 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, three cuts 5 a, 5 b, 5 c are formed in the fin portion 9. The cut 5a is formed from the other end side to the one end side while leaving the portion 6 on the one end side in the width direction of the fin portion 9.

  In addition, when a cut along the direction in which the fin portion extends is also formed, by expanding the cut (see FIGS. 14 to 17), for example, as shown in FIG. 21, the number of rows of heat transfer tubes The main heat exchanger 12 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 having different numbers of slits 4 are manufactured.

  As described above, the slits corresponding to the heat exchanger to be disposed are formed in the fin in advance, so that the performance of the heat exchanger can be sufficiently exhibited. In addition, a predetermined cut is provided in the fin portion in which the fins having such slits are laminated, and the other fin portion is bent with respect to the one fin portion based on the cut. The productivity of the heat exchanger can be improved by superimposing the part on one fin part.
