L-type TURN-FIN TUBE HAVING CIRCUMFERENTIAL PROTRUSIONS}

The present invention relates to an el-shaped turnpin tube, and more particularly, to an el-shaped turnpin tube having a columnar protrusion structure.

Generally, a refrigeration system is a system in which refrigerant is circulated to a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator, and absorbs heat from the room and releases it to the outside. The condenser and the evaporator applied to such a refrigeration system are called heat exchangers.

The heat exchanger is a heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing inside the tube and the air present in the outside of the tube.

On the other hand, in the case of the condenser, by dissipating the heat of the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor to a fluid such as air, the state of the condenser is changed into a liquid refrigerant of normal temperature and high pressure, which is easy to evaporate.

Such a condenser may be divided into a wire type condenser and a turn-fin type condenser according to its shape.

Here, the turn-pin condenser has a turn-pin tube, the turn-pin tube is composed of a refrigerant pipe in which the refrigerant flows to the inside, and a turn-pin (turn-fin) coupled to the outside of the refrigerant tube to increase the heat exchange area with the outside air and the like.

Such a turn pin also has an L-type turn pin having a cross-sectional shape in the longitudinal direction of "L", and a turn pin tube having an el-shaped turn pin is manufactured by various methods.

On the other hand, the condenser affects the performance of the refrigerating device, noise reduction, and the like. In particular, the condenser prevents excessive rise of the discharge gas temperature of the compressor, thereby preventing the performance of the freezing device from being lowered, and the heat exchange efficiency is increased. compact configuration is required.

Therefore, in order to reduce the volume of the condenser, the refrigerant pipe may be manufactured to a small diameter, but when the small diameter refrigerant tube is used, it is difficult for the el-type turn pin to be wound around the refrigerant tube, and the shape of the el-type turn pin wound around the refrigerant tube may be satisfactory. Difficult to manage

Therefore, the contact state between the refrigerant tube and the el-turned turn pin is poor and the heat transfer rate is reduced, thereby degrading heat exchange performance.

In order to solve the above problems, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide an el-shaped turnpin tube having a columnar protrusion structure that can provide excellent adhesion to small-diameter tube, and also improve heat exchangeability.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention is a tube in which the refrigerant moves to the inside; And an el (L) type turn pin wound spirally on an outer surface of the tube, wherein the el type turn pin comprises a pin portion and a base portion, and the base portion of the el type turn pin is formed along the length direction of the tube. Spirally wound around the outer circumferential surface of the tube, a projection having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el-shaped turn pin is formed on the surface of the fin portion of the el-shaped turn pin, a spiral groove (groove) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the tube, The groove provides an el-shaped turn pin tube, characterized in that the base portion of the el-shaped turn pin is configured to be seated and supported.

Here, in one embodiment of the present invention, the projecting portion and the concave portion may be alternately formed along the outer end from the radially inner end of the el-shaped turn pin.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion may be formed on one surface or both surfaces of the el-shaped turn pin.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the outer shape of the el-type turn pin may be made in a square or circular shape.

Referring to the effect of the el-shaped turnpin tube having a columnar protrusion structure according to the present invention described above are as follows.

First, according to the present invention, as the protrusion having a predetermined radius is formed on the surface of the el-type turn pin from the inner end of the el-type turn pin, the contact area of the el-type turn pin is widened to increase the heat exchange efficiency.

El-type turn pin 200 is composed of a pin portion 210 and the base portion 220, the cross-section of the el-type turn pin 200 is to form a substantially "L" shape. The base portion 220 of the el-type turn pin 200 is spirally wound around the outer circumferential surface of the tube 100 along the length direction of the tube 100, and the el-type turn pin 200 is made of metal such as steel having excellent heat exchange efficiency. It may be made of a material.

As such, the el-turned turn pin tube 1000 is heat-exchanged with the refrigerant flowing inside the tube 100 and air existing outside the tube 100, and the el-turned turn pin 200 spirals on the outer circumferential surface of the tube 100. It is made to be wound to increase the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant flowing through the inside of the tube 100 and the outside air.

Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the el-shaped turnpin tube according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, a groove 110 may be formed in the tube 100. In the groove 110, the el type turn pin 200 is seated on the tube 100, so that the tube 100 and the el type turn pin 200 are stablely coupled.

For example, the groove 110 formed in the tube 100 is spirally formed in the tube 100 before coupling the tube 100 and the el type turn pin 200, and the el type turn pin is formed in the groove 110 formed in the tube 100. The base portion 220 of the 200 is seated and inserted so that the tube 100 and the el-turned turn pin 200 may be coupled.

Alternatively, in the manufacture of the el-shaped turn pin tube 1000, while rotating the base portion 220 of the el-shaped turn pin 200 on the surface of the tube 100, at the same time the el-shaped turn pin 200 of the tube 100 By pressing inwardly to form the groove 110 in the tube 100, the tube 100 and the el-turned pin 200 may be combined.

As such, in the coupling between the tube 100 and the el-turned pin 200, as the groove 110 is formed in the tube 100, the tube 100 and the el-turned pin 200 have increased adhesion and tight coupling. Can be done.

4 and 5, the protrusion 230 having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el-type turn pin 200 is formed in a circumferential shape on the surface of the el-type turn pin 200.

As shown in FIG. 5, the protrusion 230 may be formed only on one surface of the el-turned pin 200. Alternatively, the protrusion 230 may be formed on both surfaces of the el-turned pin 200 as illustrated in FIG. 6. It is possible.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, protrusions 230 are formed on both surfaces of the el-turned pin 200, and the protrusions 230 may be disposed to be alternately positioned.

The protrusion 230 may be formed with respect to the entire height h of the el-turned pin 200 (see FIG. 2). Here, the height of the el-shaped turn pin 200 may be from the point where the el-shaped turn pin 200 and the tube 100 abuts from the end point of the radially opposite of the el-shaped turn pin 200.

As such, since the protrusion 230 may be formed to have the same height (h, see FIG. 2) of the el-type turn pin 200, the heat exchange efficiency of the el-type turn pin tube 1000 may be increased by increasing the contact area of the el-type turn pin 200. Can be.

Thus, by forming the protrusion 230 on the surface of the el-shaped turn pin 200, it is possible to increase the heat exchange efficiency by increasing the contact area with the air. In addition, the protrusion 230 does not cause a slip phenomenon along the circumferential direction during manufacture of the L-shaped turnpin tube 1000, thereby increasing process efficiency and reducing cost. In addition, the user's hand is no longer cut when using the EL type turnpin tube 1000, such as during manufacture or transportation, thereby increasing safety.

As shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the el-type turn pin 200 includes a plurality of protrusions 230 having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el-type turn pin 200 along the outer direction in the inner direction of the el-type turn pin 200. Can be.

That is, the ellipsoidal turn pin 200 may be viewed as a shape in which the protrusion 230 and the concave portion (that is, the pin portion of the el-type turn pin in which the protrusion is not formed) are alternately formed. The height, thickness, spacing (pitch), and shape of the protrusion 230 may be appropriately selected in consideration of the use place, cooling efficiency, etc. of the L-shaped turnpin tube 1000.

The thickness of the protrusion 230 may be 0.3 mm, for example, and the thickness of the recess may be 0.2 mm, for example.

In FIG. 4, the width w of the protrusion 230 formed on the surface of the L-turn pin 200 is the same, but the width of the protrusion 230 may be formed differently.

As shown in FIG. 4, the radially outer end of the el-turned turn pin 200 may be formed to have a square shape, or alternatively, may be formed to have a circular shape.

In FIG. 4, although the protrusion 230 is formed continuously in the direction in which the el-turned pin 200 is wound in a spiral, the protrusion 230 formed in the el-turned pin 200 is intermittent. Iii) it is also possible to be formed.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a groove formed in a protrusion along line II of FIG. 4, and the groove 231 may be formed along the circumferential direction of the protrusion 230, orthogonal to the circumferential direction of the protrusion 230. In some embodiments, the protrusion 230 may have a groove 231 formed in various shapes.

In FIG. 8, the groove 231 is formed along the circumferential direction of the protrusion 230, and the groove 231 may increase the heat exchange efficiency of the L-turn fin tube 1000 by widening the contact area of the protrusion 230.

Here, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 231 formed in the protrusion 230 may form a variety of shapes, such as semicircles, ellipses, triangles, squares.

The protrusion 230 having the groove 231 formed therein prevents the user's hand from being cut onto the L-turn pin tube 1000 by preventing the user's hand from slipping when using the EL type turn pin 200 or the like. Can increase.

Here, the grooves 231 may be formed in all the protrusions 230, the protrusions 230 in which the grooves 231 are formed and the protrusions 230 in which the grooves 231 are not formed may be alternately repeated. The protrusion 230 in which the groove 231 is formed may be formed in various forms, such as being selectively formed on only one side of the one surface or the other surface of the L-turn pin 200.

In addition, the surface roughness may be adjusted to the recess, and the surface roughness may be processed by sand blasting, and in addition, the surface roughness may be concave through various methods such as grid blasting or shot peening. The negative surface roughness can be adjusted.

By adjusting the surface roughness of the recess, the surface of the recess is roughened, thereby increasing contact with air, thereby increasing heat exchange efficiency. Such surface roughness adjustment may also be applied to the protrusion 230.

That is, the surface roughness adjustment may be selectively performed on the protrusions 230 in which the recesses and the grooves 231 are not formed, and the protrusions 230 in which the grooves 231 are formed. It prevents slipping and increases safety of work.

9 is an exemplary view showing various types of protrusions according to another embodiment of the present invention, the protrusions 230 may have protrusions having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el-type turn pin 200 in various forms on the el-type turn pin 200 ( 230 may be formed in a cylindrical shape.

For example, the el type turn pin 200 may be formed of one protrusion 230 having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el type turn pin 200 (FIG. 9A), and may be formed of two or more pieces (FIG. 9A). 9b)

In another embodiment, the protrusion 230 having a predetermined radius from the inner end of the el-shaped turn pin 200 may be formed intermittently (FIG. 9c). Until the number of the protrusions 230 is formed as one, it is also possible that the protrusions 230 are formed intermittently in a state consisting of a plurality.

In addition, since the protrusion 230 is formed from the inner side of the el-turned pin 200 in the outward direction, the width of the protrusion 230 may be variously formed (FIG. 9D).

In addition, the protrusion 230 may be formed to have a different number of protrusions 230 from the inner side to the outer side of the el type turn pin 200 in a predetermined section in which the el type turn pin 200 is wound (FIG. 9E).

In addition, the protrusion 230 may be formed with respect to the entire height (h, see FIG. 2) of the el-type turn pin 200. That is, the height of the protrusion 230 may be formed to be the same as the height (h, FIG. 2) of the el-shaped turn pin 200 (FIG. 9F), and the protrusion 230 may have various shapes and may have a contact area with air. Increased. The protrusion 230 is not limited to the form illustrated in FIG. 9 and may be formed in various forms.

As such, the protrusion 230 is formed to protrude from the fin part 210 in various positions and shapes, thereby increasing the heat exchange area of the el-shaped turn pin 200 to increase the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant flowing inside the tube 100 and the outside air. Let's go.

On the other hand, the height, thickness, spacing and shape of the protrusions 230 formed on both surfaces of the el-shaped turn pin 200 may be different from each other.

10 is a partially enlarged view showing an el-shaped turn pin having an incision formed according to another embodiment of the present invention. It is also possible to form the incision 211 inward from the radial end of the el-shaped turn pin 200.

As the cut-out portion 211 is formed in the el-type turn pin 200, the cut-out portion 211 generates a vortex in the air passing through the el-type turn pin 200. That is, the cutout 211 is to change the air flow passing through a constant to promote the heat exchange between the air and the el-shaped turn pin 200.

Conventionally, when using steel, it was possible to wind and form steel turn pins only in large diameter tubes, for example, tubes having a large diameter of 20 mm or more.

However, by adopting the same configuration as the embodiment of the present invention, for example, a steel turn pin can be wound around a tube of less than 20 mm, and can be used for a small diameter tube. For example, it is possible to wind and form a steel turn pin even in a tube 100 having a small diameter of 4.76 mm. That is, it can provide the outstanding adhesiveness also to the small diameter tube 100, and can also improve heat exchange property.
