  The present invention relates to an evaporator with a cold storage function used in a car air conditioner of a vehicle that temporarily stops an engine that is a drive source of a compressor when the vehicle is stopped.

  In this specification and claims, the top, bottom, left and right in FIG.

  In recent years, automobiles have been proposed that automatically stop the engine when the vehicle stops, such as when waiting for a signal, for the purpose of environmental protection or improvement in automobile fuel efficiency.

  However, in a normal car air conditioner, when the engine is stopped, the compressor using the engine as a driving source stops, so that there is a problem that the refrigerant is not supplied to the evaporator and the cooling capacity is rapidly reduced.

  Therefore, in order to solve such problems, the evaporator is provided with a cold storage function, and when the engine stops and the compressor stops, the cold stored in the evaporator is discharged to cool the vehicle interior. Is considered.

  As this type of evaporator with a cold storage function, a plurality of flat refrigerant flow pipes whose longitudinal direction faces the up-down direction and whose width direction faces the ventilation direction are arranged in parallel at intervals, and adjacent refrigerants Ventilation gaps are formed between the circulation pipes, and a cool storage material container in which a cool storage material is sealed in some of the ventilation gaps is disposed, and outer fins are disposed in the remaining ventilation gaps. The fins are arranged in the ventilation gap adjacent to the ventilation gap where the cool storage material container is arranged, and the left and right side walls of the cool storage material container are along the refrigerant circulation pipes on both sides forming the ventilation gap where the cool storage material container is arranged. The inner fins are arranged in the cool storage material container, and the left and right side walls of the cool storage material container are formed so as to be dotted with a plurality of bulge portions bulging outward and the bulge top wall of the bulge portion Is in contact with the refrigerant distribution pipe. The bulging portion on one side wall and the bulging portion on the other side wall of each cool storage material container have the same shape and the same size, and are provided at the same position when viewed from either the left or right side. An evaporator with a cold storage function has been proposed in which inner fins are joined to portions of the left and right side walls of the cold storage material container where the bulging portions are not formed (see Patent Document 1).

  According to the evaporator with a cool storage function described in Patent Document 1, during normal cooling when the compressor is operating, the cold heat of the coolant flowing in the coolant circulation pipe is passed through the bulging top wall of the bulging portion of the cool storage material container. It is transmitted to the whole, is transmitted from the contact portion to the inner fin on the side wall through the inner fin to the cold storage material in the cold storage material container, and cold energy is stored in the cold storage material. On the other hand, when the compressor stops, the cold heat stored in the regenerator material in the regenerator material container is transmitted to the both side walls of the regenerator material container through the contact portion from the inner fin to the inner fin, and then the bulging part Is transmitted to the refrigerant circulation pipe through the bulging top wall, and is transmitted to the outer fin disposed in the ventilation gap on both sides of the ventilation gap where the cool storage material container is disposed through the refrigerant circulation pipe, and from the outer fin to the ventilation gap. It is designed to be cooled by the air flowing through.

  However, in the evaporator with a cool storage function described in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 7, the bulging portion (61) of one side wall (60a) and the other side wall (60a) of each cool storage material container (60). The bulging portion (61) has the same shape and the same size, and only the portion where the bulging portion (61) is not formed on the left and right side walls (60a) of the cold storage container (60) is the inner fin ( 62) and the bulging top wall of the bulging portion (61) is not in contact with the inner fin (62), so the left and right side walls when the cold storage container (60) is viewed from either the left or right side ( 60a) and the refrigerant distribution pipe (63) overlap, the ratio of the contact area to the inner fin (62) on the left and right side walls (60a) of the cold storage container (60) with respect to the entire area of the overlapped part is considerable. It is getting smaller. Therefore, in both cases of cold storage and cooling, the heat transfer efficiency between the left and right side walls (60a) of the cold storage container (60) using the inner fins (62) and the cold storage material is not sufficient. There is a problem that the cold storage performance and the cooling performance are inferior.
