Description

冷凍機、及び進退部材の支持構造Support structure for refrigerator and advance / retreat member
 本発明は、冷凍機、及び進退部材の支持構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a support structure for advancing and retracting members.
 冷凍機は、冷媒が充填された容器と、軸線方向に進退可能な進退部材と、を備えている。このような進退部材を支持する支持構造として、特許文献1及び特許文献2に示すものが知られている。特許文献1の支持構造では、ボールベアリングによって、進退部材としてのピストンを支持している。特許文献2の支持構造では、螺旋状の板バネによって、進退部材としてのピストンを支持している。 The refrigerator includes a container filled with a refrigerant and an advance / retreat member that can advance and retreat in the axial direction. As a support structure for supporting such an advance / retreat member, those shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known. In the support structure of Patent Document 1, a piston as an advance / retreat member is supported by a ball bearing. In the support structure of Patent Document 2, a piston as an advance / retreat member is supported by a spiral leaf spring.

 上述のような特許文献1の支持構造の場合、ボールベアリングの転がりによって振動が生じる。例えば、宇宙機器に搭載される冷凍機に当該支持構造を採用した場合、当該振動が冷凍機における各機器に影響を与えてしまうという問題がある。一方、上述のような特許文献2の支持構造の場合、ボールベアリングのような振動の発生は抑制できるが、螺旋状の板バネを用いた場合は、ピストンの径方向における位置ずれが発生する可能性がある。すなわち、ピストンが圧縮空気側へ移動して板バネが大きく変形したときに、板バネの剛性が低下することにより、ピストンに径方向の位置ずれが生じる可能性がある。従って、ピストンのストロークを長くすることができないという問題がある。 In the case of the support structure of Patent Document 1 as described above, vibration occurs due to rolling of the ball bearing. For example, when the support structure is adopted in a refrigerator mounted on a space device, there is a problem that the vibration affects each device in the refrigerator. On the other hand, in the support structure of Patent Document 2 as described above, the occurrence of vibration like a ball bearing can be suppressed, but when a spiral leaf spring is used, a displacement in the radial direction of the piston can occur. There is sex. That is, when the piston moves to the compressed air side and the leaf spring is greatly deformed, the rigidity of the leaf spring is lowered, and there is a possibility that the piston is displaced in the radial direction. Therefore, there is a problem that the stroke of the piston cannot be increased.
 そこで本発明は、振動を抑制すると共に、進退部材の長ストローク化に対応できる冷凍機、進退部材の支持構造を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator and a support structure for advancing / retreating members that can suppress vibration and can cope with a long stroke of the advancing / retreating members.
 上記課題を解決するため、本発明の一形態に係る冷凍機は、冷媒が充填された容器と、所定方向に進退可能な進退部材と、進退部材を所定方向へ進退可能に支持すると共に、所定方向と直交する直交方向への移動を規制する支持部材と、を備える冷凍機であって、支持部材は、進退部材に接続されている第1の接続部と、容器に接続されている第2の接続部と、所定方向へ延びて一端側で第1の接続部に接続され、他端側で第2の接続部と接続され、所定方向に変形する変形部と、を備え、変形部は、曲げられた板状又は筒状の部材で構成される。 In order to solve the above problems, a refrigerator according to an aspect of the present invention supports a container filled with a refrigerant, an advancing / retreating member that can advance and retreat in a predetermined direction, and a reciprocating member that can advance and retreat in a predetermined direction. A support member that restricts movement in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the direction, wherein the support member is a first connection portion connected to the advance / retreat member and a second connection connected to the container. A connecting portion that extends in a predetermined direction and is connected to the first connecting portion on one end side, is connected to the second connecting portion on the other end side, and is deformed in a predetermined direction. It is composed of a bent plate-like or cylindrical member.
 本発明の一形態に係る冷凍機は、進退部材を所定方向へ進退可能に支持すると共に、所定方向と直交する直交方向への移動を規制する支持部材を備えている。このような支持部材は、進退部材に接続されている第1の接続部と、容器に接続されている第2の接続部と、所定方向へ延びて一端側で第1の接続部に接続され、他端側で第2の接続部と接続され、所定方向に変形する変形部と、を備えている。また、変形部は、曲げられた板状又は筒状の部材で構成される。このような支持構造によれば、進退部材の進退に伴って、第1の接続部を介して、変形部の曲げられた板状又は筒状の部材が伸縮する。従って、ボールベアリングのような振動の発生を抑制できる。また、変形部は、進退部材に接続された第1の接続部と、容器に固定された第2の接続部との間にて、板状又は筒状の部材が変形するものであるため、螺旋状の板バネに比して、進退部材の進退に伴う剛性の低下を抑制できる。従って、ストロークを長くしても、進退部材の径方向における位置ずれを抑制できる。以上により、振動を抑制すると共に、進退部材の長ストローク化に対応できる。 The refrigerator according to one aspect of the present invention includes a support member that supports the advance / retreat member so that the advance / retreat member can advance and retreat in a predetermined direction and restricts movement in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction. Such a support member is connected to the first connection portion connected to the advance / retreat member, the second connection portion connected to the container, and the first connection portion on one end side extending in a predetermined direction. And a deforming portion that is connected to the second connecting portion on the other end side and deforms in a predetermined direction. Further, the deforming portion is configured by a bent plate-like or cylindrical member. According to such a support structure, as the advance / retreat member advances / retreats, the plate-like or cylindrical member having the deformed portion bent expands / contracts via the first connection portion. Therefore, the occurrence of vibrations such as ball bearings can be suppressed. In addition, since the deforming portion is a plate-shaped or cylindrical member deformed between the first connecting portion connected to the advance / retreat member and the second connecting portion fixed to the container, Compared to a spiral leaf spring, it is possible to suppress a decrease in rigidity associated with the advance / retreat of the advance / retreat member. Therefore, even if the stroke is lengthened, the positional deviation in the radial direction of the advance / retreat member can be suppressed. As described above, it is possible to suppress vibration and cope with a long stroke of the advance / retreat member.
 冷凍機において、変形部は、所定方向から見て、進退部材を取り囲むように設けられてよい。これにより、進退部材を十分に支持することができるため、進退部材の進退に伴う剛性の低下を更に抑制できる。 In the refrigerator, the deformation portion may be provided so as to surround the advance / retreat member when viewed from a predetermined direction. Thereby, since the advance / retreat member can be sufficiently supported, it is possible to further suppress a decrease in rigidity due to advance / retreat of the advance / retreat member.
 冷凍機において、変形部は、湾曲又は屈曲する複数の板状部材によって構成され、それぞれの板状部材は、進退部材の所定方向へ延びる中心軸線を基準とした場合の周方向から見て、湾曲又は屈曲していてよい。これにより、進退部材の進退に伴って、湾曲又は屈曲した板状部材が所定方向に伸縮することで、進退部材を支持することができる。 In the refrigerator, the deforming portion is configured by a plurality of curved or bent plate-like members, and each plate-like member is curved when viewed from the circumferential direction with respect to the central axis extending in a predetermined direction of the advance / retreat member. Or it may be bent. Thus, the advance / retreat member can be supported by the expansion or contraction of the curved or bent plate-like member in a predetermined direction as the advance / retreat member advances / retreats.
 冷凍機は、容器に固定されたピストンを更に備え、進退部材は、ピストンを受容するシリンダであり、支持部材は、シリンダの所定方向における両端に設けられていてよい。これにより、進退部材としてのシリンダを、当該シリンダの両端にて支持部材で十分に支持することができる。 The refrigerator may further include a piston fixed to the container, the advance / retreat member may be a cylinder that receives the piston, and the support members may be provided at both ends of the cylinder in a predetermined direction. Thereby, the cylinder as the advance / retreat member can be sufficiently supported by the support members at both ends of the cylinder.
 冷凍機は、進退部材が進退するための力を発生させるコイルを更に備え、変形部は導電性材料からなり、コイルへ電力を供給してよい。これにより、変形部をコイルへ電力を供給する部材として兼用することができる。 The refrigerator may further include a coil that generates a force for the advance / retreat member to advance and retreat, and the deforming portion may be made of a conductive material, and supply power to the coil. Thereby, a deformation | transformation part can be shared as a member which supplies electric power to a coil.
 冷凍機において、変形部は、湾曲又は屈曲する複数の板状部材によって構成され、板状部材は、平面方向における第1の方向の剛性と、平面方向における当該第1の方向に直交する第2の方向の剛性と、が異なる材料からなってよい。これにより、剛性の低い方向が所定方向に対応し、剛性の高い方向が直交方向に対応するように変形部の位置を合わせることで、進退部材の直交方向への移動を十分に規制することができる。 In the refrigerator, the deformable portion is configured by a plurality of curved or bent plate-like members, and the plate-like member has a rigidity in the first direction in the planar direction and a second orthogonal to the first direction in the planar direction. It may be made of a material different in rigidity in the direction. Accordingly, the movement of the advancing / retreating member in the orthogonal direction can be sufficiently restricted by aligning the position of the deformed portion so that the direction with low rigidity corresponds to the predetermined direction and the direction with high rigidity corresponds to the orthogonal direction. it can.
 本発明の一形態に係る進退部材の支持構造は、所定方向に進退可能な進退部材と、進退部材を所定方向へ進退可能に支持すると共に、所定方向と直交する直交方向への移動を規制する支持部材と、を備える進退部材の支持構造であって、支持部材は、進退部材に接続されている第1の接続部と、所定の部材に接続されている第2の接続部と、所定方向へ延びて一端側で第1の接続部に接続され、他端側で第2の接続部と接続され、所定方向に変形する変形部と、を備え、変形部は、曲げられた板状又は筒状の部材で構成される。 A support structure for an advance / retreat member according to an aspect of the present invention supports an advance / retreat member that can advance / retreat in a predetermined direction, supports the advance / retreat member so that the advance / retreat member can advance / retreat in a predetermined direction, and restricts movement in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction.

In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part or an equivalent part, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
 図1に示されるように、冷凍機1は、いわゆるスターリングサイクルを利用したスターリング冷凍機であり、たとえば80K程度の冷却温度を発生させる小型冷凍機である。冷凍機1は、ガス圧縮機2と、コールドヘッド3と、これらを接続するキャピラリチューブ4と、を備えている。この冷凍機1の内部には、冷凍作用の発生に利用される冷媒ガス(冷媒)が充填されている。冷媒ガスとしては、たとえば、ヘリウムガスを用いることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator 1 is a Stirling refrigerator using a so-called Stirling cycle, and is a small refrigerator that generates a cooling temperature of about 80K, for example. The refrigerator 1 includes a gas compressor 2, a cold head 3, and a capillary tube 4 that connects them. The refrigerator 1 is filled with a refrigerant gas (refrigerant) used for generating a refrigeration action. As the refrigerant gas, for example, helium gas can be used.
 ガス圧縮機2は、本実施形態の進退部材の支持構造50を採用している。なお、本実施形態に係るガス圧縮機2は、中心軸線CLが延びる軸線方向(所定方向)における中央位置を基準として、対称な構成を有している。従って、特に言及が無い限り、軸線方向における一方側の構成についてのみ説明する。また、軸線方向のうち、中央位置に近づく側を「軸線方向の内側」と称し、両端に近づく側を「軸線方向の外側」と称する。また、中心軸線CLと直交する直交方向であって、当該中心軸線CLから近接又は遠ざかる方向を「径方向」と称する。また、径方向のうち、中心軸線CLから遠ざかる側を「径方向における外周側」と称し、中心軸線CLに近づく側を「径方向における内周側」と称する。また、中心軸線CL回りの方向を「周方向」と称する。図1及び図2に示すように、ガス圧縮機2は、容器10と、シリンダ(進退部材)6と、ピストン7と、ヨーク8と、支持部材9A,9Bと、を備えている。このうち、進退部材の支持構造50は、シリンダ6と、支持部材9A,9Bと、を備えて構成されている。 The gas compressor 2 employs the support structure 50 for advancing and retracting members according to this embodiment. The gas compressor 2 according to the present embodiment has a symmetric configuration with respect to the center position in the axial direction (predetermined direction) in which the central axis CL extends. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, only the configuration on one side in the axial direction will be described. Further, in the axial direction, the side approaching the central position is referred to as “inner side in the axial direction”, and the side approaching both ends is referred to as “outer side in the axial direction”. In addition, a direction perpendicular to the central axis line CL and approaching or moving away from the central axis line CL is referred to as a “radial direction”. Further, in the radial direction, the side away from the central axis CL is referred to as “the outer peripheral side in the radial direction”, and the side approaching the central axis CL is referred to as “the inner peripheral side in the radial direction”. The direction around the central axis CL is referred to as “circumferential direction”. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gas compressor 2 includes a container 10, a cylinder (advance / retreat member) 6, a piston 7, a yoke 8, and support members 9 </ b> A and 9 </ b> B. Among these, the advance / retreat member support structure 50 includes the cylinder 6 and support members 9A and 9B.
 容器10は、中心軸線CLを中心として軸線方向に延びる略円筒状をなしており、上記の冷媒ガスが内部に充填されている。容器10の軸線方向における中央位置には、中心軸線回りに広がる仕切部材5が設けられている。 The container 10 has a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction around the central axis CL, and is filled with the above-described refrigerant gas. A partition member 5 extending around the central axis is provided at a central position in the axial direction of the container 10.
 シリンダ6は、軸線方向に進退可能な進退部材を構成している。すなわち、シリンダ6は、軸線方向に沿って往復移動可能である。シリンダ6は、容器10内のうち、仕切部材5よりも軸線方向における外側に収容されており、中心軸線CLを中心として軸線方向に延びる略円筒状をなしている。本実施形態に係るシリンダ6は、円筒状の円筒部31と、円筒部31の内部における軸線方向の中途位置にて径方向全体にわたって広がる仕切部32と、円筒部31の軸線方向における外側の端部付近に設けられ、後述のコイル36を支持するコイル支持部33と、を備えている。コイル支持部33は、円筒部31の外周面から径方向に延び、屈曲して軸線方向内側へ延び、当該部分における先端側にコイル36が形成されている。 The cylinder 6 constitutes an advance / retreat member that can advance and retract in the axial direction. That is, the cylinder 6 can reciprocate along the axial direction. The cylinder 6 is accommodated in the container 10 outside the partition member 5 in the axial direction, and has a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction with the central axis CL as the center. The cylinder 6 according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical cylindrical portion 31, a partition portion 32 that extends over the entire radial direction at a midway position in the axial direction inside the cylindrical portion 31, and an outer end in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 31. And a coil support portion 33 that supports a coil 36 described later. The coil support portion 33 extends in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 31, bends and extends inward in the axial direction, and a coil 36 is formed on the tip side of the portion.
 ピストン7は、容器10に固定されている。ピストン7は、容器10の中央位置から中心軸線CLを中心として、軸線方向の外側へ向かって延びる円柱状の部材である。ピストン7の軸線方向における外側の端面は、シリンダ6の円筒部31内に受容されて、仕切部32と軸線方向において互いに離間するように対向している。これによって、ピストン7とシリンダ6との間に圧縮・膨張空間Nが形成される。圧縮・膨張空間Nの容積はシリンダ6の進退に合わせて増減し、それに合わせて冷媒ガスの膨張と圧縮が行われる。ピストン7には、中心軸線CLに沿って貫通する流路7aと、軸線方向の中央位置にて流路7aから径方向へ貫通する流路7bと、が形成されている。流路7bは、仕切部材5の内部に形成された、径方向へ延びる流路5aと連通されている。この流路5aは、キャピラリチューブ4の流路4aと連通されている。これにより、圧縮・膨張空間Nで圧縮された冷媒ガスは、流路7a,7b,5a,4aを介して、コールドヘッド3へ供給される。 The piston 7 is fixed to the container 10. The piston 7 is a columnar member extending from the center position of the container 10 toward the outer side in the axial direction around the central axis CL. The outer end surface of the piston 7 in the axial direction is received in the cylindrical portion 31 of the cylinder 6 and faces the partition portion 32 so as to be separated from each other in the axial direction. Thereby, a compression / expansion space N is formed between the piston 7 and the cylinder 6. The volume of the compression / expansion space N increases and decreases as the cylinder 6 advances and retreats, and the refrigerant gas is expanded and compressed accordingly. The piston 7 is formed with a flow path 7a penetrating along the central axis CL and a flow path 7b penetrating from the flow path 7a in the radial direction at a central position in the axial direction. The flow path 7 b communicates with a flow path 5 a formed in the partition member 5 and extending in the radial direction. The flow path 5 a is in communication with the flow path 4 a of the capillary tube 4. Thereby, the refrigerant gas compressed in the compression / expansion space N is supplied to the cold head 3 via the flow paths 7a, 7b, 5a, 4a.
 ヨーク8は、シリンダ6の円筒部31よりも径方向における外周側に配置される二重の円筒状の部材である。ヨーク8は、容器10の内周面に固定され、シリンダ6の円筒部31を取り囲むように設けられている。ヨーク8には、軸線方向における外側の端部から、軸方向における内側へ向かって延びる溝部8aが形成されている。溝部8aの径方向の外周側の外周面には、永久磁石34が形成されている。これによりヨーク8は、永久磁石34と共に磁気回路を形成する。ヨーク8の溝部3aには、軸線方向における外側から内側へ向かって、シリンダ6のコイル支持部33に支持されたコイル36が配置される。これにより、溝部3a内では、永久磁石34の内周側に対向するように、コイル36が配置される。コイル36は、励磁されることで永久磁石34との作用によって、進退部材であるシリンダ6が進退するための力を発生させる。 The yoke 8 is a double cylindrical member disposed on the outer peripheral side in the radial direction with respect to the cylindrical portion 31 of the cylinder 6. The yoke 8 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the container 10 and is provided so as to surround the cylindrical portion 31 of the cylinder 6. The yoke 8 is formed with a groove 8a extending from the outer end in the axial direction toward the inner side in the axial direction. A permanent magnet 34 is formed on the outer peripheral surface on the outer peripheral side in the radial direction of the groove 8a. Thereby, the yoke 8 forms a magnetic circuit together with the permanent magnet 34. A coil 36 supported by the coil support portion 33 of the cylinder 6 is disposed in the groove portion 3a of the yoke 8 from the outside toward the inside in the axial direction. Thereby, the coil 36 is arrange | positioned so that it may oppose the inner peripheral side of the permanent magnet 34 in the groove part 3a. The coil 36 is excited to generate a force for the cylinder 6 as the advance / retreat member to advance / retreat by the action of the permanent magnet 34.
 支持部材9Aは、進退部材であるシリンダ6を軸線方向へ進退可能に支持すると共に、軸線方向と直交する直交方向(径方向及び周方向)への移動を規制する。支持部材9Aは、シリンダ6に接続されている第1の接続部41Aと、容器10に接続されている第2の接続部42Aと、軸線方向へ延びて一端側で第1の接続部41Aに接続され、他端側で第2の接続部と接続され、軸線方向に変形する変形部40Aと、を備えている。第1の接続部41Aは、シリンダ6の軸線方向における外側の端部に接続されている。また、第2の接続部42Aは、第1の接続部41Aに対して、軸線方向における外側へ離間して対向するように配置されている。第1の接続部41A及び第2の接続部42Aは、中心軸線CLを中心とする円環状の板状部材、または円板状の板状部材によって構成されている。 The support member 9A supports the cylinder 6 as the advance / retreat member so as to be able to advance and retreat in the axial direction, and restricts movement in the orthogonal direction (radial direction and circumferential direction) orthogonal to the axial direction. The supporting member 9A includes a first connecting portion 41A connected to the cylinder 6, a second connecting portion 42A connected to the container 10, and an axial direction extending to the first connecting portion 41A on one end side. A deformable portion 40A connected to the second connecting portion on the other end side and deformed in the axial direction. The first connecting portion 41 </ b> A is connected to an outer end portion in the axial direction of the cylinder 6. Further, the second connecting portion 42A is disposed so as to face the first connecting portion 41A while being spaced apart outward in the axial direction. 41 A of 1st connection parts and 42 A of 2nd connection parts are comprised by the annular | circular shaped plate-shaped member centering on the center axis line CL, or a disk-shaped plate-shaped member.
 変形部40Aは、曲げられた板状部材で構成される。変形部40Aは、湾曲する複数の板状部材によって構成される。また、それぞれの板状部材は、中心軸線CLを基準とした場合の周方向から見て、湾曲している。具体的には、図3に示すように、帯状に延びる板状部材を断面C字状に湾曲させることによって、変形部40Aが構成される。当該板状部材は長尺な矩形状に形成されている。板状部材は、表裏の平面部が湾曲するように折り曲げられる。板状部材は、弾性異方性を有する材料からなる。板状部材は、平面方向における長手方向(第1の方向)の剛性と、平面方向における短手方向(第2の方向)の剛性と、が異なる材料からなる。ここでは、長手方向の剛性が低く、短手方向の剛性が高い。このような材料として、単結晶金属が挙げられる。適用可能な単結晶金属の例として、Fe-Mn-Si合金、Cu-Al-Mn合金、Cu-Al-Ni合金などが挙げられる。ここでは、弾性異方性と超弾性の両方に優れているCu-Al-Ni合金が採用される。また、変形部40Aは、導電性材料からなるものであってよい。このような構成により、変形部40Aは、長手方向(組み付け字における軸線方向)には変形し易い。一方、変形部40Aは、短手方向(軸線方向と直交する直交方向)には、変形することなく形状が保持される。 The deforming portion 40A is formed of a bent plate member. The deforming portion 40A is configured by a plurality of curved plate-like members. Each plate-like member is curved as seen from the circumferential direction when the center axis CL is used as a reference. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the deformable portion 40 </ b> A is configured by curving a plate-like member extending in a strip shape into a C-shaped cross section. The plate-like member is formed in a long rectangular shape. The plate-like member is bent so that the front and back flat portions are curved. The plate member is made of a material having elastic anisotropy. The plate-like member is made of a material having different rigidity in the longitudinal direction (first direction) in the plane direction and in the short direction (second direction) in the plane direction. Here, the rigidity in the longitudinal direction is low, and the rigidity in the short direction is high. An example of such a material is a single crystal metal. Examples of applicable single crystal metals include Fe-Mn-Si alloys, Cu-Al-Mn alloys, Cu-Al-Ni alloys, and the like. Here, a Cu—Al—Ni alloy that is excellent in both elastic anisotropy and superelasticity is employed. Further, the deformable portion 40A may be made of a conductive material. With such a configuration, the deforming portion 40A is easily deformed in the longitudinal direction (the axial direction in the assembled character). On the other hand, the shape of the deforming portion 40A is maintained without being deformed in the lateral direction (the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction).
 変形部40Aの軸方向における外側の端部は第2の接続部42Aに接続され、内側の端部は第1の接続部41Aに接続される。変形部40Aは、第1の接続部41A及び第2の接続部42Aの外周縁部に接続されている。それぞれの変形部40Aの板状部材は、軸線方向を基準としたときの周方向から見て、湾曲している。変形部40Aは、径方向における内周側へ向かって突出するように湾曲する。変形部40Aは、軸線方向から見て、シリンダ6を取り囲むように複数設けられる。複数の変形部40Aは、中心軸線CL周りに等角度で配置されてよい。変形部40Aの個数は特に限定されるものでもない。以上のような構成により、変形部40Aは、軸線方向には変形する。一方、変形部40Aは、軸線方向と直交する直交方向には、変形することなく形状が保持される。すなわち、支持部材9Aは、シリンダ6を軸線方向へ進退可能に支持すると共に、軸線方向と直交する直交方向への移動を規制することができる。また、支持部材9Aは、コイル36へ電気を供給するための通電部材として機能することができる。 The outer end in the axial direction of the deforming portion 40A is connected to the second connecting portion 42A, and the inner end is connected to the first connecting portion 41A. The deforming portion 40A is connected to the outer peripheral edge portions of the first connecting portion 41A and the second connecting portion 42A. The plate-like member of each deformation part 40A is curved as seen from the circumferential direction when the axial direction is used as a reference. The deforming portion 40A is curved so as to protrude toward the inner peripheral side in the radial direction. A plurality of deforming portions 40A are provided so as to surround the cylinder 6 when viewed from the axial direction. The plurality of deformable portions 40A may be arranged at an equal angle around the central axis line CL. The number of deformation portions 40A is not particularly limited. With the configuration as described above, the deforming portion 40A is deformed in the axial direction. On the other hand, the shape of the deforming portion 40A is maintained without being deformed in the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction. That is, the support member 9A supports the cylinder 6 so as to be able to advance and retract in the axial direction, and can restrict movement in the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction. Further, the support member 9 </ b> A can function as an energization member for supplying electricity to the coil 36.
 支持部材9Bは、シリンダ6に接続されている第1の接続部41Bと、容器10に接続されている第2の接続部42Bと、軸線方向へ延びて一端側で第1の接続部41Bに接続され、他端側で第2の接続部42Bと接続され、軸線方向に変形する変形部40Bと、を備えている。第1の接続部41Bは、シリンダ6の軸線方向における内側の端部に接続されている。また、第2の接続部42Bは、第1の接続部41Bに対して、軸線方向における内側へ離間して対向するように配置されている。その他の構成については、第1の接続部41B、第2の接続部42B、及び変形部40Bは、第1の接続部41A、第2の接続部42A、及び変形部40Aと同様な構成を有する。 The support member 9B includes a first connection portion 41B connected to the cylinder 6, a second connection portion 42B connected to the container 10, and an axial direction extending to the first connection portion 41B on one end side. A deformation portion 40B that is connected and connected to the second connection portion 42B on the other end side and is deformed in the axial direction. The first connection portion 41 </ b> B is connected to the inner end portion in the axial direction of the cylinder 6. Further, the second connection portion 42B is disposed so as to face the first connection portion 41B while being spaced apart inward in the axial direction. For the other configurations, the first connection portion 41B, the second connection portion 42B, and the deformation portion 40B have the same configuration as the first connection portion 41A, the second connection portion 42A, and the deformation portion 40A. .
 図1に示すように、コールドヘッド3は、ケーシング21、シリンダ22、ディスプレーサ23、支持ロッド27、及びコイルバネ25を備えている。略円柱状のケーシング21の内部は、キャピラリチューブ4内の流路4aと連通しており、キャピラリチューブ4を通じて冷媒ガスがケーシング21内に送り込まれる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the cold head 3 includes a casing 21, a cylinder 22, a displacer 23, a support rod 27, and a coil spring 25. The inside of the substantially cylindrical casing 21 communicates with the flow path 4 a in the capillary tube 4, and the refrigerant gas is sent into the casing 21 through the capillary tube 4.
 シリンダ22は、ケーシング21から突出して設けられた略円筒状の部材である。シリンダ22の先端(ケーシング21から突出した端)は閉じられている。シリンダ22の内部には、ケーシング21内と連通する空間が形成されている。また、シリンダ22の内部には、シリンダ22に沿って延在するディスプレーサ23が挿入されている。 The cylinder 22 is a substantially cylindrical member that protrudes from the casing 21. The tip of the cylinder 22 (the end protruding from the casing 21) is closed. A space communicating with the inside of the casing 21 is formed inside the cylinder 22. A displacer 23 extending along the cylinder 22 is inserted into the cylinder 22.
 シリンダ22の先端側には、シリンダ22の内壁とディスプレーサ23とによって膨張空間Mが形成されている。この膨張空間Mには、ディスプレーサ23内に形成されたガス流路24を通じてケーシング21内の冷媒ガスが流れ込む。ディスプレーサ23内のガス流路24には、蓄冷材26が充填されている。 An expansion space M is formed on the tip side of the cylinder 22 by the inner wall of the cylinder 22 and the displacer 23. The refrigerant gas in the casing 21 flows into the expansion space M through the gas flow path 24 formed in the displacer 23. The gas flow path 24 in the displacer 23 is filled with a cold storage material 26.
 ディスプレーサ23は、ケーシング21内でシリンダ22の突出方向に延在する支持ロッド27に支持されている。支持ロッド27は、ケーシング21内に設けられた軸受け支持部28及び軸受け29によって支持されており、軸受け29は、支持ロッド27を介してディスプレーサ23をシリンダ22の突出方向で移動可能に支持している。ケーシング21内には、支持ロッド27を中心として巻回するようにコイルバネ25が設けられている。コイルバネ25の一端は支持ロッド27に取り付けられ、他端は軸受け支持部28に取り付けられている。コイルバネ25は、冷媒ガスの流れによりディスプレーサ23が移動した場合、ディスプレーサ23を初期位置に戻す方向に弾性力を働かせる。 The displacer 23 is supported by a support rod 27 extending in the protruding direction of the cylinder 22 in the casing 21. The support rod 27 is supported by a bearing support portion 28 and a bearing 29 provided in the casing 21, and the bearing 29 supports the displacer 23 movably in the protruding direction of the cylinder 22 via the support rod 27.

 冷凍機1では、コイル36への通電により、一対のシリンダ6が軸線方向に沿って往復動する。すなわち、一対のシリンダ6は、軸線方向で互いに近づくように移動することで圧縮・膨張空間Nを縮小させ、空間内部の冷媒ガスを圧縮する。また、一対のシリンダ6は、軸線方向で互いに離れるように移動することで圧縮・膨張空間Nを拡張させ、空間内部の冷媒ガスを膨張させる。各シリンダ6の往復動により冷媒ガスが圧縮・膨張空間N内で圧縮又は膨張すると、キャピラリチューブ4内の流路を通じて圧力の変動がコールドヘッド3内に伝達され、コールドヘッド3内の冷媒ガスが加圧又は減圧される。 In the refrigerator 1, when the coil 36 is energized, the pair of cylinders 6 reciprocate along the axial direction. That is, the pair of cylinders 6 moves so as to approach each other in the axial direction, thereby reducing the compression / expansion space N and compressing the refrigerant gas inside the space. The pair of cylinders 6 move away from each other in the axial direction to expand the compression / expansion space N and expand the refrigerant gas inside the space. When the refrigerant gas is compressed or expanded in the compression / expansion space N by the reciprocation of each cylinder 6, the pressure fluctuation is transmitted into the cold head 3 through the flow path in the capillary tube 4, and the refrigerant gas in the cold head 3 is changed. Pressurized or depressurized.
 ガス圧縮機2により圧縮・膨張空間Nの冷媒ガスが圧縮されると、キャピラリチューブ4を通じて圧力が伝達し、コールドヘッド3内では冷媒ガスの一部が蓄冷材26によって冷却されながら膨張空間Mへと押し込まれる。その後、ガス圧縮機2により圧縮・膨張空間Nが拡張されると、キャピラリチューブ4を通じてコールドヘッド3内の冷媒ガスの圧力が低下し、圧縮・膨張空間N内の冷媒ガスが断熱膨張して寒冷が発生する。これらの工程の繰り返しにより、コールドヘッド3のシリンダ22において、たとえば約80K以下の冷凍作用を発生させることができる。 When the refrigerant gas in the compression / expansion space N is compressed by the gas compressor 2, the pressure is transmitted through the capillary tube 4, and a part of the refrigerant gas is cooled by the regenerator 26 in the cold head 3 to the expansion space M. It is pushed. Thereafter, when the compression / expansion space N is expanded by the gas compressor 2, the pressure of the refrigerant gas in the cold head 3 is reduced through the capillary tube 4, and the refrigerant gas in the compression / expansion space N is adiabatically expanded and cooled. Occurs. By repeating these steps, a refrigeration action of, for example, about 80 K or less can be generated in the cylinder 22 of the cold head 3.
