Description

この発明は、停車時に圧縮機の駆動源であるエンジンを一時的に停止させる車両のカーエアコンに用いられる蓄冷機能付きエバポレータに関する。   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.

この明細書および特許請求の範囲において、図1および図2の上下を上下というものとする。   In this specification and the claims, the top and bottom of FIGS. 1 and 2 are the top and bottom.

近年、環境保護や自動車の燃費向上などを目的として、信号待ちなどの停車時にエンジンを自動的に停止させる自動車が提案されている。   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.

ところで、通常のカーエアコンにおいては、エンジンを停止させると、エンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機が停止するので、エバポレータに冷媒が供給されなくなり、冷房能力が急激に低下するという問題がある。   By the way, in a normal car air conditioner, when the engine is stopped, the compressor using the engine as a driving source stops, so that the refrigerant is not supplied to the evaporator, and the cooling capacity is rapidly reduced.

そこで、このような問題を解決するために、エバポレータに蓄冷機能を付与し、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、エバポレータに蓄えられた冷熱を利用して車室内を冷却することが考えられている。   Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the evaporator is provided with a cold storage function, and when the engine stops and the compressor stops, the interior of the vehicle can be cooled using the cold energy stored in the evaporator. It is considered.

蓄冷機能付きエバポレータとして、上下方向にのびるとともに幅方向を通風方向に向け、かつ通風方向に間隔をおいて配置された複数の扁平状冷媒流通管からなる組が、冷媒流通管の幅方向と直角をなす方向に間隔をおいて複数配置され、複数の冷媒流通管からなる組の片面側に、上下方向にのびるとともに幅方向を通風方向に向け、かつ内部に蓄冷材が封入された扁平状蓄冷材容器が、通風方向に隣り合う冷媒流通管に跨るように配置されて冷媒流通管にろう付され、通風方向に並んだ冷媒流通管からなる組および当該組の冷媒流通管にろう付された蓄冷材容器からなる組み合わせ体が、冷媒流通管の幅方向と直角をなす方向に間隔をおいて配置され、隣り合う組み合わせ体どうしの間が通風間隙とされ、通風間隙にフィンが配置されて冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器にろう付されているものが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   As an evaporator with a cold storage function, a set consisting of a plurality of flat refrigerant flow pipes extending in the vertical direction and extending in the width direction in the ventilation direction and spaced in the ventilation direction is perpendicular to the width direction of the refrigerant flow pipe A flat regenerator in which a plurality of refrigerant circulation pipes are arranged at intervals in a direction extending in the vertical direction and in the width direction in the direction of ventilation, and in which a regenerator material is enclosed. The material container is disposed so as to straddle the refrigerant flow pipes adjacent to each other in the ventilation direction, brazed to the refrigerant flow pipes, and brazed to the set of refrigerant flow pipes arranged in the ventilation direction and the refrigerant flow pipes of the set. A combination body composed of cold storage material containers is arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the refrigerant flow pipe, a ventilation gap is formed between adjacent combination bodies, and fins are arranged in the ventilation gap to cool the combination body. What is brazed to the flow pipe and the cold storage container it has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータにおいては、冷媒流通管の片面と蓄冷材容器の外面とが面接触させられてろう付されているが、この場合、冷媒流通管の片面と蓄冷材容器の外面との間に、両者が全面にわたって完全にろう付されないことにより生じる隙間が散在するおそれがある。そして、圧縮機が作動して車室内を冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の働きにより冷却する際に、発生した凝縮水が上記隙間内に侵入し、当該隙間内での凝縮水の滞留および当該凝縮水の凍結と、凝縮水の解凍とを繰り返し、その結果上記隙間が徐々に大きくなって、やがて蓄冷材容器全体が冷媒流通管から剥がれるおそれがある。また、上記隙間に凝縮水が滞留することにより、冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器が腐食するおそれがある。   In the evaporator with a cool storage function described in Patent Document 1, one side of the refrigerant flow tube and the outer surface of the cool storage material container are brought into surface contact and brazed, but in this case, one side of the coolant flow tube and the cool storage material container There may be a gap between the outer surface and the outer surface due to the fact that they are not completely brazed over the entire surface. When the compressor is actuated to cool the passenger compartment by the action of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant flow pipe, the generated condensed water enters the gap, and the condensed water stays in the gap and the condensed water Freezing and thawing of condensed water are repeated, and as a result, the gap gradually increases, and the entire cool storage material container may be peeled off from the refrigerant circulation pipe. In addition, the condensed water stays in the gap, which may cause corrosion of the refrigerant flow pipe and the cold storage material container.

In the cool storage material container, a plurality of concave grooves for drainage inclined downward on the leeward side at the upper side of the brazed portion brazed to two refrigerant flow pipes adjacent to each other in the direction of ventilation in the cold storage material container are vertically spaced. A plurality of drainage concave grooves formed on the leeward side of the brazing part and inclined downward on the windward side are formed at intervals in the vertical direction, and the wind of the brazing part of the cold storage material container is formed. The evaporator with a cool storage function in which the height positions of the inclined lower end portion of the drainage ditch formed in the upper portion and the inclined lower end portion of the drainage ditch formed in the leeward portion are different.

2)蓄冷材容器の排水用凹溝が、蓄冷材容器における冷媒流通管にろう付された壁を内方に変形させることによって形成されている上記1)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。 2) The evaporator with a cool storage function according to the above 1) , wherein the concave groove for drainage of the cool storage material container is formed by inwardly deforming a wall brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe in the cool storage material container.

3)冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器が別個に形成されており、蓄冷材容器が、冷媒流通管にろう付された容器本体部と、容器本体部の通風方向の風上側縁部または風下側縁部に連なるとともに冷媒流通管よりも通風方向外側に突出するように設けられ、かつ厚み方向の寸法が容器本体部の厚み方向の寸法よりも大きくなった内容積増大部とを備えており、通風方向に並んだ複数の冷媒流通管からなる組および当該組の冷媒流通管にろう付された蓄冷材容器からなる組み合わせ体が、冷媒流通管の幅方向と直角をなす方向に間隔をおいて配置され、隣り合う組み合わせ体どうしの間が通風間隙とされ、通風間隙にフィンが配置されて冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器にろう付され、フィンにおける通風方向の両側部分のうちの内容積増大部が設けられた側の部分が、冷媒流通管よりも通風方向外側に突出させられ、蓄冷材容器の内容積増大部の両面にフィンがろう付されている上記1)または2)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。 3) The refrigerant circulation pipe and the cold storage material container are formed separately, and the cold storage material container is brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe, and the windward edge or the leeward edge of the container main body in the ventilation direction. And an internal volume increasing portion having a dimension in the thickness direction that is larger than a dimension in the thickness direction of the container main body portion. A combination of a plurality of refrigerant flow pipes arranged in the direction and a combination of cold storage containers brazed to the refrigerant flow pipes of the set are arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the refrigerant flow pipe Between the adjacent combinations is a ventilation gap, fins are arranged in the ventilation gap and brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe and the cold storage material container, and the internal volume increasing portion of both side portions of the fin in the ventilation direction is Provided Above 1) or 2) an evaporator with a cool storage function according portions, than the refrigerant circulation pipe is protruded in the air outwardly, the fins are brazed on both sides of the internal volume increasing portion of the cold storage container.

上記1)〜4)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、冷媒流通管と冷媒流通管にろう付された蓄冷材容器との間に、下方に向かって風下側または風上側に傾斜させられ、かつ傾斜下端部が複数の冷媒流通管からなる組における通風方向に隣り合う2つの冷媒流通管間の隙間に開口した複数の排水用凹溝が形成されているので、冷媒流通管の片面と蓄冷材容器の外面との間に隙間が散在していたとしても、当該隙間に侵入した凝縮水は、排水用凹溝内に入って当該排水用凹溝内を下方に流れ、通風方向に隣り合う2つの冷媒流通管間の隙間を通って蓄冷材容器の下方に流れ落ちる。したがって、冷媒流通管の片面と蓄冷材容器の外面との間に、両者が全面にわたって完全にろう付されないことにより生じる隙間内への凝縮水の滞留が抑制されるとともに、当該隙間内に凝縮水が滞留することに起因する凝縮水の凍結が抑制され、蓄冷材容器全体の冷媒流通管からの剥がれを長期間にわたって防止することができる。また、冷媒流通管の片面と蓄冷材容器の外面との間に散在する隙間内への凝縮水の滞留が抑制されるので、冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器の腐食を防止することができる。 According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of the above 1) to 4) , between the refrigerant flow pipe and the cold storage material container brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe, it is inclined downward or leeward toward the leeward side, and Since a plurality of drain grooves are formed in the gap between two refrigerant flow pipes adjacent to each other in the ventilation direction in a set of a plurality of refrigerant flow pipes whose inclined lower ends are formed, one side of the refrigerant flow pipe and the cold storage material Even if a gap is scattered between the outer surface of the container, the condensed water that has entered the gap enters the drainage ditch, flows downward in the drainage ditch, and is adjacent to the ventilation direction 2. It flows down below the cool storage material container through the gap between the two refrigerant flow pipes. Therefore, the condensate is prevented from staying in the gap between the one surface of the refrigerant flow pipe and the outer surface of the cool storage material container, and the condensate is not completely brazed over the entire surface. Freezing of condensed water resulting from the retention of water can be suppressed, and peeling of the entire cool storage material container from the refrigerant circulation pipe can be prevented over a long period of time. In addition, since the condensate stays in the gaps scattered between one side of the refrigerant flow tube and the outer surface of the cold storage material container, corrosion of the refrigerant flow tube and the cold storage material container can be prevented.

上記1)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、排水用凹溝を冷媒流通管に形成する場合の冷媒の流通抵抗の増大を防止することができる。 According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of 1) above, it is possible to prevent an increase in refrigerant flow resistance when the drainage concave groove is formed in the refrigerant flow pipe.

上記2)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、蓄冷材容器における冷媒流通管にろう付された面に、排水用凹溝を比較的簡単に形成することができる。 According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of 2) above, the drain groove can be formed relatively easily on the surface brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe in the cold storage material container.

上記3)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、蓄冷材容器が、冷媒流通管にろう付された容器本体部と、容器本体部の通風方向の風上側縁部または風下側縁部に連なるとともに冷媒流通管よりも通風方向外側に突出するように設けられ、かつ厚み方向の寸法が容器本体部の厚み方向の寸法よりも大きくなった内容積増大部とを備えているので、蓄冷材容器の容器高さが全体に同一の場合に比べて、蓄冷材容器および冷媒流通管の長さを長くしたり、蓄冷材容器の厚み方向の寸法である容器高さを全体に高くしたりすることなく、蓄冷材容器に封入される蓄冷材の量を多くすることができる。したがって、蓄冷機能付きエバポレータの小型軽量化を図ることができる。しかも、内容積増大部を設けることに起因する通風間隙の面積の減少を抑制することができ、熱交換コア部の寸法を変えない場合であっても、通気抵抗の上昇を抑制することができる。 According to the evaporator with the cold storage function of 3) above, the cold storage material container is connected to the container main body portion brazed to the refrigerant circulation pipe, and the windward side edge or the leeward side edge portion of the container main body portion in the ventilation direction and the refrigerant. The container of the regenerator container is provided with an inner volume increasing portion provided so as to protrude outward in the ventilation direction from the circulation pipe and having a dimension in the thickness direction larger than a dimension in the thickness direction of the container main body. Compared to the case where the height is the same as the whole, without increasing the length of the cold storage material container and the refrigerant distribution pipe, or without increasing the overall container height that is the dimension in the thickness direction of the cold storage material container, The quantity of the cool storage material enclosed with the cool storage material container can be increased. Therefore, the evaporator with a cold storage function can be reduced in size and weight. Moreover, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the area of the ventilation gap due to the provision of the internal volume increasing portion, and it is possible to suppress an increase in ventilation resistance even when the dimensions of the heat exchange core portion are not changed. .

また、通風方向に並んだ複数の冷媒流通管からなる組および当該組の冷媒流通管にろう付された蓄冷材容器からなる組み合わせ体が、冷媒流通管の幅方向と直角をなす方向に間隔をおいて配置され、隣り合う組み合わせ体どうしの間が通風間隙とされ、通風間隙にフィンが配置されて冷媒流通管および蓄冷材容器にろう付され、フィンにおける通風方向の両側部分のうちの内容積増大部が設けられた側の部分が、冷媒流通管よりも通風方向外側に突出させられ、蓄冷材容器の内容積増大部の両面にフィンがろう付されているので、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、蓄冷材容器の内容積増大部内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱が、内容積増大部の両側面から内容積増大部の両側面にろう付されているフィンを介して通風間隙を通過する空気に伝えられるので、放冷性能が向上する。   In addition, a combination of a plurality of refrigerant flow tubes arranged in the ventilation direction and a combination of cool storage containers brazed to the refrigerant flow tubes of the set are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the refrigerant flow tubes. Between the adjacent combinations, a fin is arranged in the ventilation gap and brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe and the cold storage material container, and the inner volume of the fins on both sides in the ventilation direction The portion on the side where the increasing portion is provided protrudes outward in the ventilation direction from the refrigerant flow pipe, and fins are brazed on both sides of the inner volume increasing portion of the cold storage material container, so the engine stops and compresses When the machine is stopped, the cold heat of the cold storage material in the internal volume increasing portion of the cold storage material container is passed through the fins brazed from both side surfaces of the internal volume increasing portion to both side surfaces of the internal volume increasing portion. Through the air Since Erareru, to improve cooling performance.

特に、内容積増大部が容器本体部の風下側に設けられている場合には、通風間隙を流れてくる空気の温度が低くなっている部分に、多くの蓄冷材が入れられている内容積増大部が存在することになるので、蓄冷材を効率良く冷却することができ、蓄冷性能が向上する。   In particular, when the internal volume increasing part is provided on the leeward side of the container body part, the internal volume in which a large amount of cold storage material is placed in the part where the temperature of the air flowing through the ventilation gap is low Since an increase part will exist, a cool storage material can be cooled efficiently and cold storage performance improves.

上記4)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、いずれか1つの蓄冷材容器の内容積増大部に蓄冷材充填口を形成するとともに、いずれか1つの蓄冷材容器の内容積増大部に空気抜き口を形成しておくことにより、内部どうしが連通させられている蓄冷材容器内への蓄冷材の封入作業が簡単になる。 According to the evaporator with a cool storage function of 4) above, a regenerator filling port is formed in the inner volume increasing portion of any one of the cool storage material containers, and an air vent is provided in the inner volume increasing portion of any one of the cool storage material containers. By forming, it becomes easy to enclose the regenerator material in the regenerator container in which the interiors communicate with each other.

上述した蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)は、車両のエンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機、圧縮機から吐出された冷媒を冷却するコンデンサ(冷媒冷却器)、コンデンサを通過した冷媒を減圧する膨張弁(減圧器)とともにフロン系冷媒を使用する冷凍サイクルを構成し、カーエアコンとして、停車時に圧縮機の駆動源であるエンジンを一時的に停止させる車両、たとえば自動車に搭載される。そして、圧縮機が作動している場合には、圧縮機で圧縮されてコンデンサおよび膨張弁を通過した低圧の気液混相の2相冷媒が、冷媒入口(7)を通って蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)の冷媒入口ヘッダ部(5)内に入り、前側の全冷媒流通管(13)を通って第1中間ヘッダ部(9)内に流入する。第1中間ヘッダ部(9)内に入った冷媒は、連通部材(12)を通って第2中間ヘッダ部(11)内に入った後、後側の全冷媒流通管(13)を通って出口ヘッダ部(6)内に流入し、冷媒出口(8)から流出する。そして、冷媒が冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる間に、通風間隙(17)を通過する空気と熱交換をし、冷媒は気相となって流出する。   The evaporator with a cold storage function (1) described above includes a compressor that uses a vehicle engine as a drive source, a condenser that cools the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (refrigerant cooler), and an expansion valve that depressurizes the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser ( A refrigeration cycle that uses a chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant together with a decompressor) is mounted on a vehicle, for example, an automobile, that temporarily stops an engine that is a driving source of a compressor when the vehicle is stopped as a car air conditioner. When the compressor is operating, the low-pressure gas-liquid mixed-phase two-phase refrigerant compressed by the compressor and passed through the condenser and the expansion valve passes through the refrigerant inlet (7) and has an evaporator with a cold storage function ( The refrigerant enters the refrigerant inlet header part (5) of 1) and flows into the first intermediate header part (9) through the front all refrigerant circulation pipe (13). The refrigerant that has entered the first intermediate header portion (9) passes through the communication member (12), enters the second intermediate header portion (11), and then passes through the rear refrigerant flow pipe (13). It flows into the outlet header (6) and flows out from the refrigerant outlet (8). Then, while the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant flow pipe (13), heat exchange is performed with the air passing through the ventilation gap (17), and the refrigerant flows out as a gas phase.

このとき、冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる冷媒によって蓄冷材容器(15)の容器本体部(20)内の蓄冷材が冷却されるとともに、通風間隙(17)を通って冷媒により冷やされた空気によって蓄冷材容器(15)の内容積増大部(21)内の蓄冷材が冷却され、その結果蓄冷材に冷熱が蓄えられる。   At this time, the cool storage material in the container body (20) of the cool storage material container (15) was cooled by the coolant flowing in the coolant circulation pipe (13), and was cooled by the coolant through the ventilation gap (17). The cool storage material in the internal volume increasing portion (21) of the cool storage material container (15) is cooled by the air, and as a result, cold heat is stored in the cool storage material.

また、圧縮機が作動している場合には、大気中の水分が凝縮して凝縮水が発生する。ここで、冷媒流通管(13)の片面と蓄冷材容器(15)の外面との間に、両者が全面にわたって完全にろう付されないことにより生じる隙間が散在していたとしても、当該隙間に侵入した凝縮水は、排水用凹溝(22)内に入るとともに、排水用凹溝(22)内を下方に流れ、各組(14)の前後に隣り合う冷媒流通管(13)間の隙間(14A)を通って下方に流れ落ちる。したがって、冷媒流通管(13)の片面と蓄冷材容器(15)の外面との間に生じた隙間内への凝縮水の滞留が抑制されるとともに、当該隙間内に凝縮水が滞留することに起因する凝縮水の凍結が抑制され、蓄冷材容器(15)全体の冷媒流通管(13)からの剥がれを長期間にわたって防止することができる。また、冷媒流通管(13)の片面と蓄冷材容器(15)の外面との間に散在する隙間内への凝縮水の滞留が抑制されるので、冷媒流通管(13)および蓄冷材容器(15)の腐食を防止することができる。   Further, when the compressor is operating, moisture in the atmosphere is condensed and condensed water is generated. Here, even if there is a gap between one side of the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the outer surface of the cold storage material container (15) that is not completely brazed over the entire surface, it enters the gap. The condensed water enters the drainage ditch (22), flows downward in the drainage ditch (22), and the gap between the refrigerant circulation pipes (13) adjacent to each other before and after each set (14) ( Flows down through 14A). Accordingly, the condensate water stays in the gap formed between one side of the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the outer surface of the cool storage material container (15), and the condensate water stays in the gap. Freezing of the condensed water due to this is suppressed, and peeling of the entire cool storage material container (15) from the refrigerant circulation pipe (13) can be prevented over a long period of time. In addition, since the condensate water stays in the gaps scattered between one side of the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the outer surface of the cold storage material container (15), the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the cold storage material container ( 15) Corrosion can be prevented.

圧縮機が停止した場合には、蓄冷材容器(15)の容器本体部(20)内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱が、容器本体部(20)の左側面から蓄冷材容器(15)の左側面にろう付されているコルゲートフィン(18)を介して通風間隙(17)を通過する空気に伝えられるとともに、容器本体部(20)の右側面から冷媒流通管(13)および当該冷媒流通管(13)にろう付されているコルゲートフィン(18)を介して通風間隙(17)を通過する空気に伝えられる。また、蓄冷材容器(15)の内容積増大部(21)内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱は、内容積増大部(21)の左右両側面から内容積増大部(21)の左右両側面にろう付されているコルゲートフィン(18)を介して通風間隙(17)を通過する空気に伝えられる。したがって、エバポレータ(1)を通過した風の温度が上昇したとしても、当該風は冷却されるので、冷房能力の急激な低下が防止される。   When the compressor stops, the cold heat of the regenerator material in the container body (20) of the regenerator container (15) is transferred from the left side of the container body (20) to the left side of the regenerator container (15). It is transmitted to the air passing through the ventilation gap (17) via the corrugated fin (18) brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the refrigerant flow pipe ( It is transmitted to the air passing through the ventilation gap (17) through the corrugated fin (18) brazed to 13). Also, the cold heat of the regenerator material in the inner volume increasing portion (21) of the cool storage material container (15) will be transferred from the left and right side surfaces of the inner volume increasing portion (21) to the left and right side surfaces of the inner volume increasing portion (21). The air is transmitted to the air passing through the ventilation gap (17) through the attached corrugated fin (18). Therefore, even if the temperature of the wind that has passed through the evaporator (1) rises, the wind is cooled, so that a rapid decrease in the cooling capacity is prevented.
