The present invention is used in air conditioners such as room air conditioners, packaged air conditioners, and car air conditioners, heat pump hot water heaters, refrigerators, freezers, and the like, and a gas such as air that flows between a large number of stacked flat fins. The present invention relates to a finned tube heat exchanger that transfers heat to and from a fluid such as water or refrigerant flowing in a heat transfer tube.

It is a fin-and-tube heat exchanger. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a conventional heat exchanger. FIG. 11 is a front view showing a part of the fin shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the conventional fin-tube heat exchanger 101 penetrates the fins 110 that are stacked in parallel with a certain interval, and the flat fins 110 that are stacked in parallel. It is comprised with the heat exchanger tube 130 inserted in this way. The fin 110 is formed with a cylindrical fin collar 116 that rises vertically from the fin 110, and the inside of the fin collar 116 is a through hole 116a. The heat transfer tube 130 is disposed through the through hole 116 a of the fin collar 116, and is closely bonded to the fin collar 116.

In the conventional fin tube type heat exchanger 101 configured as described above, a fluid such as water or a refrigerant flows through the inside by flowing a gas such as air between the laminated plate-like fins 110. The heat from the heat transfer tube 130 is configured to exchange heat with the gas flowing through the fins 110.

Each fin 110 in the conventional fin tube type heat exchanger 101 is bent and laminated in the same shape. In the front view of the fins 110 shown in FIG. 11 (showing the laminated surface), the main flow direction W of the airflow flowing between the laminated fins 110 is the row direction (left-right direction in FIG. 11), and is orthogonal to the row direction. The direction is a step direction (vertical direction in FIG. 11).

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the fin 110 is formed with a plurality of ridge lines 112 (mountains) and ridge lines 114 (valleys) that are a plurality of fold lines extending in the step direction.

By bending the movement of the airflow in this way, the heat transfer performance from the fin 110 to the airflow has been improved. However, in the conventional heat exchanger having such a configuration, as used in general heat exchange, heat transfer is caused by an air flow leading edge effect generated in a fin formed by cutting and raising a part of a flat plate material. There was a problem that the result as the acceleration effect could not be obtained and the heat transfer performance as a heat exchanger was not so high as expected.

In the first embodiment, the main flow direction W of the airflow is the same as the row direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 2) in each heat transfer fin 20, and the direction orthogonal to the row direction in each heat transfer fin 20 is the step direction. (Vertical direction in FIG. 2).

A heat transfer tube 50 penetrating through the heat transfer fins 20 perpendicular to the laminated surface of the fins 20 is provided. A heat medium such as a refrigerant flowing inside the heat transfer tubes 50 flows between the stacked heat transfer fins 20 and exchanges heat with the gas (air) flowing along the stacked surface of the heat transfer fins 20. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, each heat transfer fin 20 is formed with a plurality of fin collars 60, and each fin collar 60 has a through hole 20 a (3 in FIG. 2) through which the heat transfer tube 50 passes. Two through-holes 20a are formed). That is, a substantially cylindrical fin collar 60 is formed around each through-hole 20a so as to extend in the direction of the laminated surface of the heat transfer fins 20 or in a direction substantially orthogonal to the main flow direction W of the airflow.

In order to improve the workability of this insertion operation, the inner diameter D (see FIG. 3) of the fin collar 60 is processed to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the heat transfer tube 50 when the heat transfer fin 20 is pressed. Then, after the heat transfer tube 50 is inserted into the fin collar 60, the diameter of the heat transfer tube 50 is expanded by utilizing the hydraulic pressure in the heat transfer tube 50 or by a mechanical method, and the heat transfer tube 50 and the fin collar. 60 are closely attached to each other to improve the heat transfer performance.

Each heat transfer fin 20 in the finned tube heat exchanger 1 according to the first embodiment is formed by integrally forming a flat metal plate by pressing, and has a plurality of bending lines (including ridge lines). ing. As shown in FIG. 2, the heat transfer fin 20 is formed with a plurality of

ridge lines

40 a and 40 b on the mountain side and the valley side extending in parallel to the step direction. In the following description, the mountain-side ridge line 40a extending in the step direction is a mountain ridge line, and the valley-side ridge line 40b is a valley ridge line.

In the first embodiment, the undulating portion 40 having two ridges corresponds to one fin collar 60. The configuration of the undulating portion 40 conforms to the specifications of the heat exchanger used. It will be changed accordingly.

As described above, the heat transfer fin 20 includes a plurality of mountain ridge lines 40a and a valley ridge line 40b between adjacent mountain ridge lines 40a. Thus, the undulating portion 40 is configured. Further, in the heat transfer fin 20, a cylindrical fin collar 60 that protrudes perpendicularly to the laminated surface of the heat transfer fins 20 is formed by integral molding. An annular seat portion 30 having a flat surface is formed around the cylindrical fin collar 60 in a concentric circle. The flat surface of the seat portion 30 is parallel to the laminated surface of the heat transfer fins 20. The heat transfer fin 20 is formed with an inclined surface 30 a that rises from the annular seat portion 30 to the undulating portion 40.

In the finned tube heat exchanger according to the first embodiment configured as described above, the heat transfer fins 20 are positioned in the vicinity of the fin collar 60, and a plurality of heat transfer fins 20 are provided at intermediate positions between the fin collars 60 adjacent in the step direction. The intermediate mountain part 80 comprised by the ridgeline of is formed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the heat transfer fin 20 is an intermediate position between the fin collars 60 adjacent to each other in the step direction, and includes two peak portions 45 configured by

adjacent peak lines

40 a and 40 a extending in the step direction. An intermediate mountain portion 80 is formed at a valley position between 45. That is, the intermediate mountain portion 80 is on the central axis extending in the step direction including the center of the fin collar 60 (the center of the heat transfer tube 50) arranged in parallel in the step direction, that is, on the valley ridge line 40b in the first embodiment. Formed in position.

The intermediate mountain portion 80 is constituted by a mountain-side ridge line 80a extending in the row direction connecting the middle portions of the slopes of the

adjacent mountain portions

45, 45 facing each other. The valley-side ridge line 80b constituting the side surface 80c of the intermediate mountain portion 80 (the slopes located above and below the mountain-side ridge line 80a in FIG. 2) is a front view when the heat transfer fin 20 is viewed from the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer tube 50. 2 (on the laminated surface of the heat transfer fins 20 shown in FIG. 2), from both ends of the ridge line 80a on the mountain side to both sides thereof, the ridge line 80a on the mountain side is at an intermediate position and has an angle of approximately 90 degrees. Is formed in a substantially square shape when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer tube 50. In the first embodiment, the case where the front shape of the intermediate mountain portion 80 is substantially square will be described, but the front shape of the intermediate mountain portion of the present invention is a quadrangle.

The height of the seat position 30 of the intermediate mountain portion 80 from the flat surface (hereinafter referred to as the height of the intermediate mountain portion 80) is the height of the seat position 30 of the mountain portion 45 whose top is constituted by a mountain ridge line 40a extending in the step direction. It is formed lower than the height from the flat surface (hereinafter referred to as the height of the ridge 45). It is preferable that the height of the intermediate peak portion 80 is formed to a height within a range of about 1/4 to about 3/4 of the height of the peak portion 45.

As described above, one intermediate mountain portion 80 is constituted by one ridge line 80a extending in the column direction and four valley ridge lines 80b extending from both ends of the ridge line 80a to both sides. Two slopes 80c are formed on both sides of the ridge line 80a on the mountain side. In one intermediate mountain portion 80 formed in this way, the four valley-side ridge lines 80b are formed in the middle part of the adjacent mountain portions 45 formed by the mountain ridge lines 40a extending in the step direction. The vicinity of the valley-side ridge line 80b constituting the intermediate mountain portion 80 configured in this way is for heat exchange in the intermediate mountain portion 80 lower than the mountain portion 45, similarly to the mountain ridge line 40a and the valley ridge line 40b extending in the step direction. Since the airflow is bent, the heat transfer rate to the airflow can be increased. For this reason, the finned tube heat exchanger according to the first embodiment has a structure having high heat transfer performance, smoothes the airflow between the stacked heat transfer fins 20, and reduces the airflow resistance. The structure has excellent characteristics.

As described above, in the heat transfer fin 20 according to the first embodiment, the intermediate mountain portion 80 formed of a plurality of ridge lines is formed between the fin collars 60 adjacent in the step direction. The height of the intermediate mountain portion 80 having the mountain-side ridge line 80a extending in the row direction is formed lower than the height of the mountain portion 45 having the mountain ridge line 40a extending in the step direction, and the height of the intermediate mountain portion 80 is the mountain portion. The height is set within a range of about 1/4 to about 3/4 of the height of 45. If the height of the intermediate mountain portion 80 is set to be higher than 3/4 of the height of the mountain portion 45 having the mountain ridge line 40a extending in the step direction, the height of the intermediate mountain portion 80 extends in the step direction as it becomes closer to the height of the mountain portion 45. The flow along the undulating portion 40 formed by the ridge line hardly occurs, and the heat transfer performance is deteriorated.

On the other hand, when the height of the intermediate peak portion 80 is set lower than ¼ of the height of the peak portion 45 extending in the step direction, the length of the valley-side ridge line 80b at which the heat transfer coefficient becomes high cannot be set long. For this reason, it is difficult to obtain excellent heat transfer performance.
Therefore, the height of the intermediate mountain portion 80 having the mountain-side ridge line extending in the row direction is preferably about ¼ to about ¾ of the height of the mountain portion 45 having the mountain ridge line 40a extending in the step direction.

In the above-described embodiment, in the heat transfer fin (20) having the undulating portion (40) composed of a plurality of peaks and valleys extending in the step direction, the fin collar (60) adjacent in the step direction Although the description has been given of the configuration in which the intermediate mountain portion 80 extending in the column direction is provided in the valley portion between them, the present invention is not limited to the configuration example of the first embodiment described above.

In each case, the effect of improving the heat transfer performance described above can be added, and further, a synergistic effect of promoting heat transfer can be brought about.

Hereinafter, specific configuration examples in the case where the intermediate mountain portion in the fin tube type heat exchanger of the present invention is used for other configurations will be described using Embodiments 2 to 5.
