Description

Condenser for refrigerator {Condenser for refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a condenser for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator condenser composed of a plurality of independent heat dissipation fins coupled to a refrigerant pipe made of a single winding steel pipe and a refrigerant pipe. It relates to a condenser for a refrigerator in which a heat radiation fin is inserted to increase a specific surface area, and the refrigerant pipe is bent in multiple stages to form a plurality of refrigerant pipe rows.

Generally, a refrigerator is a refrigeration apparatus that lowers the temperature in the refrigerator and repeats the refrigeration cycle of compressing, condensing, expanding, and evaporating the refrigerant so that food can be kept fresh for a long time. It is a generalized home appliance.

The cooling device installed in the refrigerator generates cold air by performing heat exchange through a phase change of the refrigerant circulating along the refrigerant pipe. Such a cooling device is usually configured by connecting a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant expansion device, and an evaporator in sequence by a refrigerant pipe.

The basic configuration of the refrigerator will be described below. The refrigerator includes a compressor for heating and boosting a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas at a high temperature and a high pressure, a condenser for condensing the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas flowing from the compressor, and a high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas at a low temperature and low pressure liquid refrigerant. And a capillary tube to be converted into a low temperature, low pressure liquid refrigerant and an evaporator which generates cold air by evaporating the low temperature and low pressure gas refrigerant.

Therefore, the cold air of the refrigerator compartment changed to a higher temperature than the initial supply temperature by heat exchange with the refrigerated food stored in the refrigerator compartment partitions the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment by the suction power of the blower fan installed at the rear of the freezer compartment and natural convection. The suction is forced into the evaporator side through the barrier, and the cold air in the refrigerating chamber is heat exchanged to low temperature while passing through the evaporator by the continuous rotation of the blowing fan.

The cold heat exchanged in this way is directly transferred to the freezer and the refrigerating chamber from the direct cooling refrigerator, and the intercooled refrigerator is transferred to the inside of the freezer compartment by a blowing fan, and the inside of the refrigerating chamber through the cold compartment duct formed at the rear of the refrigerating compartment. Forced blowing to lower the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment.

The cycle for lowering the inside of the refrigerator is continued until the inside of the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, and when the inside of the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, the refrigerator temporarily stops operating and the inside of the refrigerator falls below the set temperature. It prevents overcooling and wasted power.

On the other hand, the condenser is installed in the machine room provided in the lower part of the refrigerator to dissipate the heat of condensation by natural cooling or forced cooling. The conventional condenser has a thin wire connected to a straight steel pipe through which refrigerant flows at regular intervals. Spot welding was carried out, and the sheet itself was continuously bent in multiple stages to a size that can be installed in a refrigerator to form a hexahedral shape as a whole.

However, the condenser as described above requires a lot of manual work partly in the manufacturing process, so the efficiency in the process is low, and the manufacturing time is long, and the manufacturing cost of the condenser may increase due to the decrease in productivity. In addition, the most important heat dissipation surface area of the condenser caused a decrease in performance, and in order to solve this problem, there were various problems such as installing an additional component cluster pipe or other work added to the assembly process.

The technical problem to be achieved in the present invention is a refrigerator condenser, a conventional condenser spot welds a thin wire at regular intervals on a straight steel pipe flowing refrigerant, and repeats itself continuously in a size that can be installed inside the refrigerator Although it was bent to form a hexahedron as a whole, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect of such a condenser, a plurality of independent heat dissipation fins were attached to a refrigerant pipe and a refrigerator condenser was banded.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a refrigerator condenser comprising a plurality of independent heat dissipation fins 10 that are coupled to a refrigerant pipe through a hole 20 and a refrigerant pipe 30 made of a single winding steel pipe. To provide a condenser.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a conventional condenser for a refrigerator. As shown in the figure, the conventional condenser is bent several times to form a plurality of layers of the refrigerant pipe 50 is layered again to be layered to form a hexahedral shape as a whole. In addition, a plurality of wire cooling fins 60 are coupled to the outer surface of the bent refrigerant tube so as to widen the heat dissipation area.

The conventional condenser condenses the refrigerant gas compressed by the compressor into a liquid refrigerant, and the heat of the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant tube 50 where the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas introduced into the inlet flows through the bending tube. Heat is transferred to the wire cooling fins 60 to exchange heat with external air around the condenser. That is, the refrigerant inside is condensed into a liquid state while being cooled. At this time, the plurality of wire cooling fins 60 coupled to the outer surface of the refrigerant pipe serves to widen the heat exchange area with the external air.

However, the conventional condenser constructed as described above is welded with a plurality of wire cooling fins 60 in the manufacturing process and attached to the outer surface of the refrigerant pipe, so that the work process for manufacturing the condenser is complicated and difficult, and the manufacturing cost is high. have.

In addition, the conventional condenser has a problem that the heat exchange efficiency is low because the heat of the refrigerant is transferred to the wire cooling fins 60 coupled to the outer surface of the refrigerant tube again the heat of the refrigerant transferred to the outer surface of the refrigerant tube. In other words, the conventional condenser exchanges heat with the outside air after being heated by wire cooling fins which substantially expands the heat exchange area of the condenser, although the heat inside the heat exchange partly with the outside air contacting the outer surface of the refrigerant pipe. Since the heat dissipation area is small wire cooling fin has a problem of low heat exchange efficiency.

2 is a perspective view showing the structure of a machine room of a refrigerator. As shown in the figure, the machine chamber is provided with a compressor 150, a condenser 170, and a cooling fan 160 for cooling them together with the evaporator 130 described above.

A compressor 150 for compressing the refrigerant at a high temperature and high pressure is installed at one side of the machine room, and a condenser 170 for condensing the refrigerant compressed at the compressor is installed at the other side. At this time, the compressor and the condenser are interconnected through the refrigerant pipe. In addition, an inlet and an outlet through which air is circulated are formed in the rear of the machine room to cool the heat generated from the compressor and the condenser, and a cooling fan is installed between the compressor and the condenser to forcibly blow air inside the machine room.

3 is a cutaway view showing the configuration of a refrigerator cooler. As shown in the figure, a storage compartment in which food is stored is formed in the interior of the main body 70 of the refrigerator. The storage compartment of the upper and lower spaces is partitioned by an intermediate wall so that the upper portion forms the freezing chamber 80 and the lower portion is The refrigerating chamber 90 is achieved.

In addition, an evaporator 130 for generating cold air is accommodated and installed in the wall of the rear side of the freezer compartment, and a cold air supply passage 100 for guiding the cold air generated in the evaporator to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment is formed at the upper and lower portions of the evaporator. The intermediate wall is provided with a cold air return passage 110 so that the cold air in the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment can be returned to the evaporator. On the other hand, a cold air blowing fan 120 for forcibly blowing the cold air generated in the evaporator to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment is installed on one side of the cold air supply passage.

Figure 4 is a front view showing the shape of the heat radiation fin of the condenser for refrigerator of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the heat dissipation fin 10 has a hole 20 for coupling with the refrigerant pipe 30, the hole of the heat dissipation fin may have a plurality of holes as necessary. That is, the two-hole radiating fins are illustrated in this drawing, and three-hole radiating fins or four-row radiating fins may be manufactured and used as needed.

Figure 5 is a side view showing the shape of the heat radiation fin of the condenser for refrigerators of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the heat dissipation fin 10 has a hole 20 for coupling with the refrigerant pipe 30, the side portion of the hole of the heat dissipation fin protrudes perpendicular to the heat dissipation fin.

The hole of the heat dissipation fin which protrudes can maintain the shape of the fin when combined with the refrigerant tube, and serves to widen the heat dissipation area in order to efficiently transfer the heat of the refrigerant tube to the heat dissipation fin.

Figure 6 is a process diagram showing the coupling process of the heat radiation fin and the refrigerant pipe of the condenser for a refrigerator of the present invention. As shown in the figure, after arranging a plurality of heat dissipation fins 10 in a row, the heat dissipation fins are coupled to the heat dissipation fins by rotating or vibrating the refrigerant pipe 30 into the holes 20 of the heat dissipation fins.

If the refrigerant pipe is forcibly pressed into the hole 20 of the heat sink fin, the shape of the heat sink fin is deformed or the hole is torn, so that the heat sink fin cannot be completely in contact with the refrigerant pipe. The heat radiation efficiency is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the hole 20 of the heat radiation fin is made to be the same as the diameter of the refrigerant pipe, and when the heat radiation fin and the refrigerant pipe is combined while pressing or vibrating the refrigerant pipe while rotating the refrigerant pipe can be combined with the heat radiation fin without deforming the shape of the heat radiation fin. It will be possible.

As shown in the figure, after coupling the heat radiation fins 10 to the refrigerant pipe 30, the refrigerant pipe is bent to form a plurality of refrigerant pipe rows.

9 is a state diagram showing a state in which the fixing plate is attached to fix the bent refrigerant pipe of the condenser for a refrigerator of the present invention. As shown in the figure, after the radiating fin 10 is coupled to the refrigerant pipe 30, the refrigerant pipe is bent to form a plurality of refrigerant pipe rows, and then a fixing plate is attached to fix the plurality of refrigerant pipe rows.
