- the flexible tube 30 includes a connection portion 1 for connecting to the compressor 11, the refrigerant pipe 40, and the like at the end.
- the flexible tube 30 includes a tube main body 2 made of a bellows-like metal body, and a metal fitting 3 that connects the tube main body 2 and the connection portion 1. Further, the flexible tube 30 includes a flexible metal tube outer periphery coating 4 that covers the tube body 2 and a fixing metal fitting 6 that fixes the tube outer periphery coating 4 to the metal fitting 3.
- the tube body 2 corresponds to the “tube” in the present invention.
- the tube outer periphery coating 4 corresponds to “coating” in the present invention.
- a resin film 5 that is solid and sufficiently thinner than the tube outer periphery coating 4 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tube outer periphery coating 4.
- the resin film 5 is a fluororesin, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), or It is composed of tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE) or the like.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- PFA tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer
- FEP tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer
- ETFE tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer
- the tube body 2 serves as a flexible member to guide a fluid such as a refrigerant to a predetermined location with airtightness.
- the tube body 2 alone cannot withstand the high pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 and cannot withstand the pressure pulsation generated from the compressor 11. Therefore, the tube main body 2 is covered and supported by a flexible metal tube outer periphery coating 4 that is resistant to radial pressure.
- a fluorine resin excellent in heat resistance and lubricity is sprayed on the inner surface of the tube outer periphery coating 4 with a spray gun or a sprayer, and the thin resin film 5 is laminated by firing or the like.
- the thickness of the resin film 5 is set to be, for example, 10 ( ⁇ m) to 100 ( ⁇ m).

- the flexible tube 30 assembled by the above-described method has the bellows crest portion of the tube body 2 in direct contact with the solid thin resin film 5.
- the portion can slide on the resin film 5 with good lubrication.

- the flexible tube 30 includes the metal bellows-like tube body 2 that allows fluid to flow, and the metal tube outer periphery coating 4 that covers the tube body 2.
- a fluorine-based resin film 5 was provided between the tube body 2 and the tube outer periphery coating 4.
- the resin film 5 formed of a fluorine-based resin is superior in heat resistance as compared to an intermediate material such as a plastic hose, and therefore can withstand the temperature of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11.
- the effect of improving the durability of the flexible tube 30 can also be obtained.
- the flexibility of the flexible tube 30 itself is not increased, and at the same time, the lubrication between the tube main body 2 and the resin film 5 is ensured as described above. Because it is excellent, it does not prevent the flexible tube from bending. Therefore, the flexible tube 30 can exhibit a sufficient vibration insulating effect.
- the resin film 5 is solid, and even if the resin film 5 is subjected to internal pressure from the tube body 2, the resin film 5 changes only very slightly, so that the resin film 5 protrudes outside the tube outer periphery coating 4. The effect that there is no can be acquired.
- the fluorine-based resin film 5 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tube outer periphery coating 4.
- Embodiment 2 Since the basic configuration of the flexible tube 30 in the second embodiment is the same as that of the flexible tube 30 in the first embodiment, the second embodiment will be described below with a focus on differences from the first embodiment. .
- the difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the resin film 5 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tube main body 2.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged schematic view of the outer portion of the flexible tube according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
- the fluorine-based resin film 5 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tube body 2.
- the bellows crest of the tube body 2 is covered with a thin thin resin film 5, and the resin film 5 of the bellows crest can slide on the inner peripheral surface of the tube outer periphery coating 4 with good lubrication. Yes.
- the tube body 2 does not directly rub against the metal of the tube outer periphery coating 4 on the inner surface of the tube outer periphery coating 4, and the tube body 2 is scratched. It becomes possible to make it slide without doing.
- the fluororesin film 5 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tube body 2.
- the tube body 2 and the tube outer periphery coating can be used even when there is a material problem such as the tube outer periphery coating 4 being unable to withstand the sintering of the resin film 5. 4 can be provided with the resin film 5. Further, even when there are many gaps in the tube outer periphery coating 4 and it is difficult to form the resin film 5, the resin film 5 can be provided between the tube main body 2 and the tube outer periphery coating 4.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係るフレキシブルチューブを使用した冷媒回路の全体構成を示す概略図である。図1に示されるように、空気調和システム100は、室外機10及び室内機20を有している。室外機10と室内機20とは、冷媒主管18及び冷媒主管19で接続されている。
室外機10には、圧縮機11と、四方弁等の切替弁15と、熱源側熱交換器12とが、フレキシブルチューブ30と冷媒配管40とで接続されて搭載されている。また、室外機10には、室外送風機16が搭載されている。
室内機20には、室内送風機17と、負荷側熱交換器14と、膨張弁13とが搭載されている。室内機20は、冷媒主管18及び冷媒主管19を介して室外機10と接続し、冷媒が流入又は流出するようになっている。
図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係るフレキシブルチューブの外観を示す概略図である。また、図3は、本発明の実施の形態1に係るフレキシブルチューブの断面概略図である。なお、フレキシブルチューブ30は両端が同一の構造となっているため、図2及び図3においては、フレキシブルチューブ30の一端のみを例示している。図2及び図3に示されるように、フレキシブルチューブ30は端部に圧縮機11及び冷媒配管40等に接続するための接続部1を備える。また、フレキシブルチューブ30は、蛇腹状の金属体からなるチューブ本体2と、チューブ本体2と接続部1とを接続する金具3とを備える。さらに、フレキシブルチューブ30は、チューブ本体2を覆うフレキシブルな金属製のチューブ外周被覆4と、チューブ外周被覆4を金具3に固定する固定金具6を備えている。
次に、フレキシブルチューブ30の製作工程について説明する。まず第一に、スプレーガン又は噴霧器等により、耐熱性及び潤滑性に優れたフッ素系樹脂をチューブ外周被覆4の内面に吹き付け、焼成等により薄い樹脂膜5を積層させる。この際、樹脂膜5の厚さは例えば、10(μm)~100(μm)となるようにする。なお、本実施の形態1において、スプレーガン又は噴霧器等により、フッ素系樹脂を吹き付ける例を示したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、樹脂膜5を薄く均一に積層させることができれば刷毛塗りなどでフッ素系樹脂を塗ってもよい。又は、樹脂膜5をフィルム状に予め形成し、フィルム状の樹脂膜5をチューブ外周被覆4の内周面に貼り付けても良い。この場合、フィルム状の樹脂膜5は樹脂を吹き付ける方法に比べて、膜の厚さのむらを抑えることが可能であるため、樹脂膜5の膜の厚さを一定に形成することが容易となる。
以上のことから、本実施の形態1によれば、フレキシブルチューブ30は、流体を流通させる金属製の蛇腹状のチューブ本体2と、チューブ本体2を覆う金属製のチューブ外周被覆4と、を備え、チューブ本体2とチューブ外周被覆4との間にフッ素系の樹脂膜5を設けた。このようにすることで、チューブ本体2の蛇腹の山の部分が摩耗しないので摺動傷が付かず、チューブ本体2が疲労破壊し難くなるという効果を得ることができる。また、フッ素系樹脂で形成された樹脂膜5は、プラスチックホースなどの中間材に比べて耐熱性にも優れているため、圧縮機11から吐出された高温冷媒の温度にも耐えることができ、フレキシブルチューブ30の耐久性の向上という効果も得ることができる。
本実施の形態2におけるフレキシブルチューブ30の基本的な構成は実施の形態1におけるフレキシブルチューブ30と同様であるため、以下、実施の形態1との相違点を中心に本実施の形態2を説明する。実施の形態1と本実施の形態2との相違点は、樹脂膜5がチューブ本体2の外周面に設けられている点である。
