Description

ろう付け用治具、および、それを用いて作製された積層型冷媒分配器Brazing jig and laminated refrigerant distributor manufactured using it
 本発明は、複数の板状体が積層されて構成された積層型冷媒分配器のろう付け用治具、および、それを用いて作製された積層型冷媒分配器に関する。 The present invention relates to a brazing jig for a laminated refrigerant distributor configured by laminating a plurality of plate-like bodies, and a laminated refrigerant distributor manufactured by using the brazing jig.
 従来、空気調和装置などの冷凍サイクル装置における冷媒回路の熱交換器には、流入する冷媒を複数に分配する冷媒分配器が用いられている。このような冷媒分配器として、例えば、複数の板状体が積層されて構成された積層型冷媒分配器が用いられる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。積層型冷媒分配器は、例えば、積層方向の一方の端面に、1つの円管が接続されるとともに、他方の端面に、複数の扁平多孔管などの伝熱管が接続される。この場合、積層型冷媒分配器では、円管が冷媒の入口管となり、複数の伝熱管が冷媒の出口管となる。 Conventionally, a refrigerant distributor that distributes the inflowing refrigerant into a plurality of heat exchangers in a refrigerant circuit in a refrigeration cycle device such as an air conditioner has been used. As such a refrigerant distributor, for example, a laminated refrigerant distributor configured by laminating a plurality of plate-like bodies is used (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the laminated refrigerant distributor, for example, one circular tube is connected to one end face in the stacking direction, and a plurality of heat transfer tubes such as flat perforated tubes are connected to the other end face. In this case, in the laminated refrigerant distributor, the circular pipe serves as the refrigerant inlet pipe, and the plurality of heat transfer pipes serve as the refrigerant outlet pipe.
 このような積層型冷媒分配器は、複数の板状体をろう付け用治具で挟んでろう付接合されることによって作製される(例えば、特許文献2参照)。具体的には、積層型冷媒分配器の複数の板状体をろう付け接合する場合、複数の板状体は、隣接する板状体との間にろう材が介在した状態で積層され、積層方向の一方の端面と他方の端面とが加圧装置によって狭持されるように固定される。そして、複数の板状体が加圧装置によって狭持された状態で、炉中ろう付けが行われる。 Such a laminated refrigerant distributor is manufactured by sandwiching a plurality of plate-like bodies with brazing jigs and brazing and joining them (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Specifically, when a plurality of plate-shaped bodies of a laminated refrigerant distributor are brazed and joined, the plurality of plate-shaped bodies are laminated and laminated with a brazing material interposed between the plurality of plate-shaped bodies. One end face and the other end face in the direction are fixed so as to be sandwiched by the pressurizing device. Then, brazing in the furnace is performed with the plurality of plate-shaped bodies sandwiched by the pressurizing device.
 このとき、複数の板状体は、積層方向の両端面のそれぞれと加圧装置の加圧部との間に、長尺状のろう付け用治具を介在させた状態で、炉中ろう付けが行われる。これにより、複数の板状体の積層方向の両端面のそれぞれに作用する面圧の均一化が図られる。また、炉中ろう付けの際には、複数の板状体の積層方向が鉛直方向となるように、積層型冷媒分配器が炉内に配置される。複数の板状体には、伝熱管を挿入するための挿入孔が形成されており、複数の板状体のろう付けが完了すると、ろう付けされた複数の板状体に設けられた挿入孔に、複数の伝熱管が同時に挿入される。 At this time, the plurality of plate-shaped bodies are brazed in a furnace with a long brazing jig interposed between each of both end faces in the stacking direction and the pressurizing portion of the pressurizing device. Is done. As a result, the surface pressure acting on each of both end faces in the stacking direction of the plurality of plate-shaped bodies can be made uniform. Further, at the time of brazing in the furnace, the laminated refrigerant distributor is arranged in the furnace so that the stacking direction of the plurality of plate-like bodies is the vertical direction. Insertion holes for inserting heat transfer tubes are formed in the plurality of plate-shaped bodies, and when the brazing of the plurality of plate-shaped bodies is completed, the insertion holes provided in the plurality of brazed plate-shaped bodies are provided. Multiple heat transfer tubes are inserted at the same time.

 ところで、上述したようにして炉中ろう付けが行われた積層型冷媒分配器では、複数の板状体の線膨張率と、長尺状のろう付け用治具の線膨張率との差により、伝熱管が挿入される挿入孔の位置および寸法が変化する虞がある。そのため、ろう付けされた複数の板状体に対して複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際の挿入性が悪化し、作業時間が増大する。また、場合によっては、複数の板状体に対して複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際に、一部の伝熱管に実用上不都合なつぶれあるいは変形が生じる虞がある。 By the way, in the laminated refrigerant distributor in which brazing is performed in the furnace as described above, the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of a plurality of plate-shaped bodies and the linear expansion coefficient of a long brazing jig , The position and size of the insertion hole into which the heat transfer tube is inserted may change. Therefore, the insertability when a plurality of heat transfer tubes are simultaneously inserted into a plurality of brazed plate-like bodies deteriorates, and the working time increases. Further, in some cases, when a plurality of heat transfer tubes are simultaneously inserted into a plurality of plate-shaped bodies, some of the heat transfer tubes may be crushed or deformed, which is practically inconvenient.
 本発明は、上記従来の技術における課題に鑑みてなされたものであって、ろう付けの際の、伝熱管を挿入するための挿入孔の位置および寸法の変化を抑制し、複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際の挿入性を向上させることができるろう付け用治具を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and suppresses changes in the position and size of the insertion hole for inserting the heat transfer tube during brazing, and can provide a plurality of heat transfer tubes. It is an object of the present invention to provide a brazing jig capable of improving insertability at the same time.
 また、本発明は、上記のろう付け用治具を用いてろう付けされた複数の板状体に対して複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際に、実用上不都合となるつぶれあるいは変形が抑制された積層型冷媒分配器を提供することを目的とする。 Further, in the present invention, when a plurality of heat transfer tubes are simultaneously inserted into a plurality of plate-shaped bodies brazed using the above brazing jig, crushing or deformation which is inconvenient for practical use is suppressed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a laminated refrigerant distributor.
 本発明のろう付け用治具は、長尺状の複数の板状体が積層された積層型冷媒分配器のろう付けを行う際に用いられるろう付け用治具であって、前記板状体の積層方向の一方の端面に接して設けられ、前記板状体の長手方向において複数に分割された第1治具と、前記板状体の積層方向の他方の端面に接して設けられる第2治具とを備えるものである。 The brazing jig of the present invention is a brazing jig used when brazing a laminated refrigerant distributor in which a plurality of long plate-shaped bodies are laminated, and is the plate-shaped body. A first jig provided in contact with one end face in the stacking direction of the plate-shaped body and divided into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped body, and a second jig provided in contact with the other end face in the stacking direction of the plate-shaped body. It is equipped with a jig.
 また、本発明の積層型冷媒分配器は、本発明に係るろう付け用治具を用いて作製された積層型冷媒分配器であって、前記板状体の積層方向の端面に加熱痕が形成されているものである。 Further, the laminated refrigerant distributor of the present invention is a laminated refrigerant distributor manufactured by using the brazing jig according to the present invention, and heating marks are formed on the end faces of the plate-shaped bodies in the stacking direction. It is what has been done.
 本発明によれば、積層型冷媒分配器に対するろう付け処理の際に、複数に分割された第1治具は、第1治具と接する板状体の熱膨張に追従し、第1治具の熱膨張の影響を受けることなく熱膨張する。これにより、ろう付け処理の際の板状体の11の熱膨張量と熱収縮量とに差異が生じないことから、挿入孔の位置および寸法の変化が抑制されるため、複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際の挿入性を向上させることができる。 According to the present invention, during the brazing process on the laminated refrigerant distributor, the first jig divided into a plurality of parts follows the thermal expansion of the plate-like body in contact with the first jig, and the first jig It expands without being affected by the thermal expansion of. As a result, there is no difference between the amount of heat expansion and the amount of heat contraction of 11 of the plate-shaped body during the brazing process, so that changes in the positions and dimensions of the insertion holes are suppressed, so that a plurality of heat transfer tubes can be used. It is possible to improve the insertability when inserting at the same time.
 また、このようなろう付け用治具が用いられることにより、ろう付け処理が行われた積層型冷媒分配器に複数の伝熱管を同時に挿入する際に、積層型冷媒分配器に対する実用上不都合となるつぶれあるいは変形を抑制することができる。 Further, the use of such a brazing jig causes practical inconvenience to the laminated refrigerant distributor when a plurality of heat transfer tubes are simultaneously inserted into the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor. Brazing or deformation can be suppressed.

The heat transfer tube 4 is made of, for example, aluminum. The plurality of heat transfer tubes 4 are arranged side by side in a certain direction, for example. A plurality of fins 5 are joined to the heat transfer tube 4. The fin 5 is made of, for example, aluminum. The heat transfer tube 4 and the fin 5 are joined by brazing, for example. The example of FIG. 1 shows a case where the number of heat transfer tubes 4 is four, but this is not limited to this example. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, a case where the heat transfer tube 4 is a flat tube will be described.
 このように構成された熱交換器1において、冷媒配管を流れる冷媒は、第1分配器2に流入して分配流路2aで分配され、複数の伝熱管4に流出する。冷媒は、複数の伝熱管4において、例えば、図示しないファンによって供給される空気等の流体と熱交換を行う。複数の伝熱管4を流れる冷媒は、第2分配器3の合流流路3aに流入して合流し、冷媒配管に流出する。なお、熱交換器1において、冷媒は、逆流可能、つまり第2分配器3から第1分配器2に向かって流れることが可能である。 In the heat exchanger 1 configured in this way, the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipe flows into the first distributor 2, is distributed in the distribution flow path 2a, and flows out to the plurality of heat transfer tubes 4. The refrigerant exchanges heat with a fluid such as air supplied by a fan (not shown) in the plurality of heat transfer tubes 4. The refrigerant flowing through the plurality of heat transfer tubes 4 flows into the merging flow path 3a of the second distributor 3, merges, and flows out to the refrigerant pipe. In the heat exchanger 1, the refrigerant can flow back, that is, can flow from the second distributor 3 toward the first distributor 2.
[第1分配器2の構成]
 積層型冷媒分配器である第1分配器2の構成について説明する。図2は、第1分配器の構成の一例を示す分解斜視図である。図3は、図2に示す第1分配器のA部分を拡大した斜視図である。図4は、図2に示す第1分配器のA部分を拡大して流路入口側から見た概略図である。なお、図4には、伝熱管4を併せて図示している。
[Structure of 1st distributor 2]
The configuration of the first distributor 2 which is a laminated refrigerant distributor will be described. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the first distributor. FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion A of the first distributor shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion A of the first distributor shown in FIG. 2 as viewed from the flow path inlet side. Note that FIG. 4 also shows the heat transfer tube 4.
 図2~図4に示すように、第1分配器2は、長尺状に形成された板状体11を有する。板状体11は、ベア材となる第1板状部材12_1~第1板状部材12_4と、クラッド材となる第2板状部材13_1~第2板状部材13_3と、が交互に積層されて形成される。板状体11の積層方向の最も外側には、第1板状部材12_1と第1板状部材12_4とがそれぞれ積層される。なお、以下では、第1板状部材12_1~第1板状部材12_4を総称して、第1板状部材12と記載する場合がある。同様に、第2板状部材13_1~第2板状部材13_3を総称して、第2板状部材13と記載する場合がある。 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the first distributor 2 has a plate-shaped body 11 formed in a long shape. In the plate-shaped body 11, the first plate-shaped members 12_1 to 12_1 to be the bare material and the second plate-shaped members 13_1 to the second plate-shaped members 13_3 to be the clad materials are alternately laminated. It is formed. The first plate-shaped member 12_1 and the first plate-shaped member 12_1 are laminated on the outermost side of the plate-shaped body 11 in the stacking direction. In the following, the first plate-shaped member 12_1 to the first plate-shaped member 12_1 may be collectively referred to as the first plate-shaped member 12. Similarly, the second plate-shaped member 13_1 to the second plate-shaped member 13_3 may be collectively referred to as the second plate-shaped member 13.
 第1板状部材12は、例えば、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金製であり、3mm程度の厚みを有する部材で形成されている。これは、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金が、従来の熱交換器で使用している銅と比較して、安価かつ軽量であり、また、熱伝導率も高いためである。このように、第1板状部材12の材料としてアルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金が用いられることにより、原価低減を効果的に行うことができる。なお、第1板状部材12には、ろう材が塗布されない。 The first plate-shaped member 12 is made of, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and is made of a member having a thickness of about 3 mm. This is because aluminum or an aluminum alloy is cheaper and lighter than copper used in conventional heat exchangers, and has high thermal conductivity. As described above, by using aluminum or an aluminum alloy as the material of the first plate-shaped member 12, cost reduction can be effectively performed. The brazing material is not applied to the first plate-shaped member 12.
 第1板状部材12のそれぞれには、分配流路2aとなる貫通孔12a_1~貫通孔12a_4が形成される。貫通孔12a_1~貫通孔12a_4は、第1板状部材12の表裏を貫通する。 Through holes 12a_1 to 12a_4 serving as distribution flow paths 2a are formed in each of the first plate-shaped members 12. The through holes 12a_1 to 12a_4 penetrate the front and back surfaces of the first plate-shaped member 12.
 第1板状部材12と第2板状部材13とが積層されると、貫通孔12a_1~貫通孔12a_3は、分配流路2aの一部として機能する。貫通孔12a_1は、冷媒等の流体が流入する流体入口部として機能する。貫通孔12a_3の末端は、冷媒等の流体が流出する流体出口部として機能する。貫通孔12a_4は、伝熱管挿入部2bとして機能するため、冷媒等の流体が流れない。 When the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are laminated, the through holes 12a_1 to 12a_3 function as a part of the distribution flow path 2a. The through hole 12a_1 functions as a fluid inlet portion into which a fluid such as a refrigerant flows. The end of the through hole 12a_3 functions as a fluid outlet portion through which a fluid such as a refrigerant flows out. Since the through hole 12a_4 functions as the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b, a fluid such as a refrigerant does not flow.
 第2板状部材13は、例えば、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金製であり、第1板状部材12と比較して薄く(例えば、1mm程度)形成されている。第2板状部材13の少なくとも表裏面には、ろう材が塗布される。第2板状部材13のそれぞれには、分配流路2aとなる貫通孔13a_1および貫通孔13a_2が形成される。貫通孔13a_1~貫通孔13a_3は、第2板状部材13の表裏を貫通する。 The second plate-shaped member 13 is made of, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and is formed thinner (for example, about 1 mm) than the first plate-shaped member 12. A brazing material is applied to at least the front and back surfaces of the second plate-shaped member 13. Through holes 13a_1 and through holes 13a_2 serving as distribution flow paths 2a are formed in each of the second plate-shaped members 13. The through holes 13a_1 to 13a_3 penetrate the front and back surfaces of the second plate-shaped member 13.
 なお、第1板状部材12および第2板状部材13は、この例に限られず、例えばステンレス製であってもよい。積層型冷媒分配器である第1分配器2のろう付け処理における加熱に対して十分な耐熱性を有していれば、どのような材料が用いられてもよい。 The first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are not limited to this example, and may be made of stainless steel, for example. Any material may be used as long as it has sufficient heat resistance to heating in the brazing treatment of the first distributor 2 which is a laminated refrigerant distributor.
 第1板状部材12と第2板状部材13とが積層されると、貫通孔13a_1および貫通孔13a_2は、分配流路2aの一部として機能する。貫通孔13a_3は、伝熱管挿入部2bとして機能するため、冷媒等の流体が流れない。 When the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are laminated, the through hole 13a_1 and the through hole 13a_2 function as a part of the distribution flow path 2a. Since the through hole 13a_3 functions as the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b, a fluid such as a refrigerant does not flow.
 第1板状部材12_1に形成される貫通孔12a_1、第2板状部材13_1に形成される貫通孔13a_1、および、第2板状部材13_2に形成される貫通孔13a_2は、流路断面円形状に貫通形成される。流路断面とは、流路を流体の流れと直交する方向で切断した断面である。 The through hole 12a_1 formed in the first plate-shaped member 12_1, the through hole 13a_1 formed in the second plate-shaped member 13_1, and the through hole 13a_1 formed in the second plate-shaped member 13_2 have a circular cross-sectional shape of the flow path. It is formed through. The flow path cross section is a cross section obtained by cutting the flow path in a direction orthogonal to the flow of the fluid.
 流体入口部として機能する貫通孔12a_1には、入口管としての冷媒配管が接続される。例えば、第1板状部材12_1の冷媒の流入側の面に口金等が設けられ、その口金等を介して冷媒配管が接続されてもよい。また、貫通孔12a_1の内周面が、冷媒配管の外周面と嵌合する形状であり、口金等を用いずに、貫通孔12a_1に冷媒配管が直接接続されてもよい。 A refrigerant pipe as an inlet pipe is connected to the through hole 12a_1 that functions as a fluid inlet portion. For example, a base or the like may be provided on the surface of the first plate-shaped member 12_1 on the inflow side of the refrigerant, and the refrigerant pipe may be connected via the base or the like. Further, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 12a_1 may be shaped to fit with the outer peripheral surface of the refrigerant pipe, and the refrigerant pipe may be directly connected to the through hole 12a_1 without using a base or the like.
 第1板状部材12_2に形成される貫通孔12a_2は、例えば、流路断面Z字状に貫通形成される。第1板状部材12_2の冷媒が流入する側に積層される第2板状部材13_1の貫通孔13a_1は、貫通孔12a_2の中心と対向する位置に形成される。第1板状部材12_2の冷媒が流出する側に積層される第2板状部材13_2の貫通孔13a_2は、貫通孔12a_2の端部と対向する位置に形成される。 The through hole 12a_2 formed in the first plate-shaped member 12_2 is formed through, for example, in a Z-shaped cross section of the flow path. The through hole 13a_1 of the second plate-shaped member 13_1 laminated on the side where the refrigerant of the first plate-shaped member 12_2 flows in is formed at a position facing the center of the through hole 12a_2. The through hole 13a_2 of the second plate-shaped member 13_2, which is laminated on the side where the refrigerant of the first plate-shaped member 12_2 flows out, is formed at a position facing the end of the through hole 12a_2.
 第1板状部材12_3に形成される貫通孔12a_3は、例えば、流路断面Z字状部分と流路断面直線状部分とが組み合わされた形状に貫通形成される。なお、以下の説明において、流路断面Z字状部分をZ字状部112Aと称し、流路断面直線状部分を直線状部112Bと称するものとする。 The through hole 12a_3 formed in the first plate-shaped member 12_3 is formed through, for example, in a shape in which a Z-shaped portion of the flow path cross section and a linear portion of the flow path cross section are combined. In the following description, the Z-shaped portion of the flow path cross section will be referred to as the Z-shaped portion 112A, and the linear portion of the flow path cross section will be referred to as the linear portion 112B.
 図3に示すように、直線状部112Bは、Z字状部112Aの両端部に連通している。すなわち、直線状部112Bは、貫通孔12a_3の末端、つまり分配流路2aの末端に位置する空間部として形成され、流体出口部として機能する部分に相当する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the linear portion 112B communicates with both ends of the Z-shaped portion 112A. That is, the linear portion 112B is formed as a space portion located at the end of the through hole 12a_3, that is, the end of the distribution flow path 2a, and corresponds to a portion that functions as a fluid outlet portion.
 なお、図3において紙面上側に位置する直線状部112Bの下辺にZ字状部112Aの紙面上側の端部が連通している。また、図3において紙面下側に位置する直線状部112Bの上辺にZ字状部112Aの紙面下側の端部が連通している。2つの直線状部112Bは互いに平行である。さらに、図4に示すように、直線状部112Bの開口面積は、伝熱管4の先端部4aの開口面積よりも大きい。 In FIG. 3, the upper end of the Z-shaped portion 112A communicates with the lower side of the linear portion 112B located on the upper side of the paper surface. Further, in FIG. 3, the lower end of the Z-shaped portion 112A communicates with the upper side of the linear portion 112B located on the lower side of the paper surface. The two linear portions 112B are parallel to each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the opening area of the linear portion 112B is larger than the opening area of the tip portion 4a of the heat transfer tube 4.
 第1板状部材12_3の冷媒が流入する側に積層される第2板状部材13_2の貫通孔13a_2は、貫通孔12a_3の中心と対向する位置に形成される。第1板状部材12_3の第2板状部材13_2とは反対側に積層される第2板状部材13_3の貫通孔13a_3は、貫通孔12a_3の直線状部112Bと対向する位置に形成される。 The through hole 13a_2 of the second plate-shaped member 13_2 laminated on the side where the refrigerant of the first plate-shaped member 12_3 flows in is formed at a position facing the center of the through hole 12a_3. The through hole 13a_3 of the second plate-shaped member 13_3 laminated on the side opposite to the second plate-shaped member 13_2 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3 is formed at a position facing the linear portion 112B of the through hole 12a_3.
 第1板状部材12と第2板状部材13とが積層されると、第1板状部材12に形成されている貫通孔と、第2板状部材13に形成されている貫通孔と、が連通して分配流路2aが形成される。つまり、第1板状部材12と第2板状部材13とが積層されると、隣接する貫通孔同士が連通するとともに、連通する貫通孔以外の部分が隣接する第1板状部材12または第2板状部材13に閉塞され、分配流路2aが形成されることになる。なお、第1分配器2では、分配流路2aが、1つの流体入口部に対して4つの流体出口部を有している場合を例に図示しているが、分岐数を4分岐に限定するものではない。 When the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are laminated, a through hole formed in the first plate-shaped member 12 and a through hole formed in the second plate-shaped member 13 become available. A distribution flow path 2a is formed by communicating with each other. That is, when the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are laminated, the adjacent through holes communicate with each other, and the portion other than the communicating through holes is adjacent to the first plate-shaped member 12 or the first plate-shaped member 12. It is closed by the two-plate-shaped member 13 to form the distribution flow path 2a. In the first distributor 2, the case where the distribution flow path 2a has four fluid outlets for one fluid inlet is shown as an example, but the number of branches is limited to four. It is not something to do.
 図2に示すように、第1板状部材12_4に形成される貫通孔12a_4、および、第2板状部材13_3に形成される貫通孔13a_3は、貫通孔12a_3の端部である直線状部112Bの対面方向に形成され、伝熱管4の先端部4aが挿入される伝熱管挿入部2bとして機能する。つまり、貫通孔12a_4、および、貫通孔13a_3は、伝熱管4の延長線上に位置する直線状部112Bに対向する位置に形成されるようになっており、ここに伝熱管4を挿入することで伝熱管4が第1分配器2に接続される。 As shown in FIG. 2, the through hole 12a_4 formed in the first plate-shaped member 12_4 and the through hole 13a_3 formed in the second plate-shaped member 13_3 are linear portions 112B which are the ends of the through hole 12a_3. It is formed in the facing direction of the heat transfer tube 4 and functions as a heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b into which the tip end portion 4a of the heat transfer tube 4 is inserted. That is, the through holes 12a_4 and the through holes 13a_3 are formed at positions facing the linear portion 112B located on the extension line of the heat transfer tube 4, and by inserting the heat transfer tube 4 into the through holes 12a_4 and the through holes 13a_3. The heat transfer tube 4 is connected to the first distributor 2.
 また、伝熱管4の先端部4aは、第2板状部材13_3の貫通孔13a_3の位置であってもよく、第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の直線状部112Bの位置であってもよい。つまり、伝熱管4の先端部4aは、第2板状部材13_2に接触しない位置であればよい。第1板状部材12_4の貫通孔12a_4の内周面は、伝熱管4の外周面に嵌合される。その嵌合は、加熱されたろう材が毛細管現象によって染み込む程度の隙間を有するとよい。 Further, the tip portion 4a of the heat transfer tube 4 may be at the position of the through hole 13a_3 of the second plate-shaped member 13_3, or may be the position of the linear portion 112B of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3. Good. That is, the tip portion 4a of the heat transfer tube 4 may be at a position where it does not come into contact with the second plate-shaped member 13_2. The inner peripheral surface of the through hole 12a_4 of the first plate-shaped member 12_4 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the heat transfer tube 4. The fitting should have a gap such that the heated brazing material is infiltrated by the capillary phenomenon.
 図5は、図2に示す第1分配器の展開図である。図6は、図2に示す第1分配器2の縦断面図である。なお、図6では、説明の便宜上、それぞれ板状体11の厚さを概略的に均一として図示している。また、図6では、流体の流れ方向に沿って切断した断面を示している。 FIG. 5 is a development view of the first distributor shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the first distributor 2 shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, for convenience of explanation, the thickness of each plate-shaped body 11 is shown as being substantially uniform. Further, FIG. 6 shows a cross section cut along the flow direction of the fluid.
 図5および図6に示すように、冷媒配管を流れてきた冷媒は、第1板状部材12_1の貫通孔12a_1を流体入口部として、第1分配器2の内部に流入する。貫通孔12a_1から流入した冷媒は、第2板状部材13_1の貫通孔13a_1に流入する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipe flows into the inside of the first distributor 2 with the through hole 12a_1 of the first plate-shaped member 12_1 as the fluid inlet portion. The refrigerant that has flowed in through the through hole 12a_1 flows into the through hole 13a_1 of the second plate-shaped member 13_1.
 第1板状部材12_1の貫通孔12a_1から第2板状部材13_1の貫通孔13a_1に流入した冷媒は、第1板状部材12_2の貫通孔12a_2の中心に流入する。第1板状部材12_2の貫通孔12a_2の中心に流入した冷媒は、隣接して積層される第2板状部材13_2の表面に当たって分岐し、第1板状部材12_2の貫通孔12a_2の端部に流れる。第1板状部材12_2の貫通孔12a_2の端部に至った冷媒は、第2板状部材13_2の貫通孔13a_2を通過して、第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の中心に流入する。 The refrigerant that has flowed from the through hole 12a_1 of the first plate-shaped member 12_1 into the through hole 13a_1 of the second plate-shaped member 13_1 flows into the center of the through hole 12a_2 of the first plate-shaped member 12_2. The refrigerant that has flowed into the center of the through hole 12a_2 of the first plate-shaped member 12_2 hits the surface of the second plate-shaped member 13_2 that is laminated adjacently and branches, and reaches the end of the through hole 12a_2 of the first plate-shaped member 12_2. It flows. The refrigerant that has reached the end of the through hole 12a_2 of the first plate-shaped member 12_2 passes through the through hole 13a_2 of the second plate-shaped member 13_2 and flows into the center of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3.
 第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の中心に流入した冷媒は、隣接して積層される第2板状部材13_3の表面に当たって分岐し、第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の端部に流れる。第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の端部である直線状部112Bは流体出口部として機能しており、第1板状部材12_3の貫通孔12a_3の端部に至った冷媒は、貫通孔13a_3または貫通孔12a_3内に位置する伝熱管4の先端部4aから伝熱管4の内部に流入する。 The refrigerant that has flowed into the center of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3 hits the surface of the second plate-shaped member 13_3 that is laminated adjacently and branches, and reaches the end of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3. It flows. The linear portion 112B, which is the end portion of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3, functions as a fluid outlet portion, and the refrigerant reaching the end portion of the through hole 12a_3 of the first plate-shaped member 12_3 is a through hole. It flows into the inside of the heat transfer tube 4 from the tip portion 4a of the heat transfer tube 4 located in 13a_3 or the through hole 12a_3.
 伝熱管4に流入した冷媒は、第2板状部材13_3の貫通孔13a_3の内部および第1板状部材12_4の貫通孔12a_4の内部に位置する領域を通過して、伝熱管4のフィン5が接合された領域に流入する。 The refrigerant that has flowed into the heat transfer tube 4 passes through a region located inside the through hole 13a_3 of the second plate-shaped member 13_3 and inside the through hole 12a_4 of the first plate-shaped member 12_4, and the fin 5 of the heat transfer tube 4 passes through the region. It flows into the joined area.
[ろう付け用治具50の構成]
 次に、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具について説明する。本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具は、上述した複数の板状体11を積層した積層型冷媒分配器を作製する際に用いられる。図7は、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具の構成の一例を示す概略図である。図8は、積層型冷媒分配器に対するろう付け用治具の配置について説明するための概略図である。図9は、ろう付け処理の際のろう付け用治具の配置状態を示す概略図である。
[Structure of Brazing Jig 50]
Next, the brazing jig according to the first embodiment will be described. The brazing jig according to the first embodiment is used when manufacturing a laminated refrigerant distributor in which the plurality of plate-shaped bodies 11 described above are laminated. FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing an example of the configuration of the brazing jig according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a schematic view for explaining the arrangement of the brazing jig with respect to the laminated refrigerant distributor. FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing an arrangement state of the brazing jig during the brazing process.
 図7に示すように、ろう付け用治具50は、板状の第1治具51および第2治具52で構成されている。ろう付け用治具50は、図8および図9に示すように、第1治具51と第2治具52とで、複数の板状体11で形成されたろう付け前の積層型冷媒分配器60を挟み込むように使用される。そして、第1治具51、第2治具52および積層型冷媒分配器60は、ろう付け処理の際に、加圧治具70によって加圧されて固定される。なお、第1治具51および第2治具52は、板状に限られず、例えばブロック状に形成されてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 7, the brazing jig 50 is composed of a plate-shaped first jig 51 and a second jig 52. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the brazing jig 50 is a laminated refrigerant distributor before brazing, which is formed of a plurality of plate-shaped bodies 11 by the first jig 51 and the second jig 52. It is used to sandwich 60. Then, the first jig 51, the second jig 52, and the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 are pressed and fixed by the pressurizing jig 70 during the brazing process. The first jig 51 and the second jig 52 are not limited to a plate shape, and may be formed in a block shape, for example.
 第1治具51は、例えばステンレス製である。第1治具51は、長尺状の板状体11の長手方向(図7のx方向)に複数に分割されて形成されている。図7の例は、第1治具51が2つの分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bに分割されている場合を示す。分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bは、幅(y方向の長さ)が積層型冷媒分配器60の短手方向の長さと略同等の長さとなるように形成されている。 The first jig 51 is made of, for example, stainless steel. The first jig 51 is formed by being divided into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction (x direction in FIG. 7) of the elongated plate-shaped body 11. The example of FIG. 7 shows a case where the first jig 51 is divided into two divided first jigs 51A and 51B. The first division jigs 51A and 51B are formed so that the width (length in the y direction) is substantially the same as the length in the lateral direction of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60.
 積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理が行われる場合、第1治具51は、図8に示すように、積層された複数の板状体11の積層方向(z方向)の端面のうち、扁平管である伝熱管4が接続される冷媒出口側の端面に接するように配置される。この場合、第1治具51は、長手方向が積層型冷媒分配器60の伝熱管挿入部2bが並んで配列されている板状体11の長手方向と一致するように配置される。 When the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is brazed, the first jig 51 uses, as shown in FIG. 8, among the end faces of the plurality of laminated plate-like bodies 11 in the stacking direction (z direction). The heat transfer tube 4 which is a flat tube is arranged so as to be in contact with the end face on the refrigerant outlet side to which the heat transfer tube 4 is connected. In this case, the first jig 51 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped body 11 in which the heat transfer tube insertion portions 2b of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 are arranged side by side.
 また、第1治具51には、第1貫通孔51aが形成されている。第1貫通孔51aは、積層型冷媒分配器60の板状体11に設けられた挿入孔である伝熱管挿入部2bに対応する位置に設けられ、積層型冷媒分配器60の伝熱管挿入部2bの数に応じて、1または複数設けられる。板状体11の第1貫通孔51aが設けられていない部分は、後述する加圧治具70によって加圧される加圧面とされる。 Further, the first jig 51 is formed with a first through hole 51a. The first through hole 51a is provided at a position corresponding to the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b, which is an insertion hole provided in the plate-shaped body 11 of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, and is provided at a position corresponding to the heat transfer tube insertion portion of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. One or more are provided depending on the number of 2b. The portion of the plate-shaped body 11 where the first through hole 51a is not provided is a pressurized surface to be pressurized by the pressurizing jig 70 described later.
 第2治具52は、例えばステンレス製であり、長尺状に形成されている。第2治具52は、x方向およびy方向のそれぞれの長さが積層型冷媒分配器60の長手方向および短手方向のそれぞれの長さと略同等の長さとなるように形成されている。積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理が行われる場合、第2治具52は、図8に示すように、積層された複数の板状体11の積層方向(z方向)の端面のうち、円管が接続される冷媒入口側の端面に接するように配置される。 The second jig 52 is made of stainless steel, for example, and is formed in a long shape. The second jig 52 is formed so that the lengths in the x direction and the y direction are substantially the same as the lengths in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. When the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is brazed, the second jig 52 uses, as shown in FIG. 8, among the end faces of the plurality of laminated plate-like bodies 11 in the stacking direction (z direction). It is arranged so as to be in contact with the end face on the refrigerant inlet side to which the circular pipe is connected.
 また、第2治具52には、第2貫通孔52aが形成されている。第2貫通孔52aは、第2治具52が積層型冷媒分配器60に接して配置される際に、積層型冷媒分配器60の板状体11に取り付けられた、冷媒入口側の配管である円管を避けるために設けられている。 Further, the second jig 52 is formed with a second through hole 52a. The second through hole 52a is a pipe on the refrigerant inlet side attached to the plate-shaped body 11 of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 when the second jig 52 is arranged in contact with the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. It is provided to avoid a certain circular pipe.
 ろう付け用治具50を構成する第1治具51および第2治具52は、上述したようにステンレス製である。これは、耐熱性が高く、ろう付け処理が行われる際の高温下でも加圧治具70による力を積層型冷媒分配器60に対して均等に印圧できるためである。なお、ろう付け用治具50の材質は、ろう付け処理の際の温度に対して治具の機械的強度が低下しない材質であれば、この例に限られず、いずれの材料が用いられてもよい。耐熱性は、材料の物性を維持する性質を示し、例えば、材料の融点あるいは熱膨張係数などによって判断することができる。 The first jig 51 and the second jig 52 constituting the brazing jig 50 are made of stainless steel as described above. This is because the heat resistance is high and the force of the pressurizing jig 70 can be evenly applied to the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 even at a high temperature when the brazing process is performed. The material of the brazing jig 50 is not limited to this example as long as the mechanical strength of the jig does not decrease with respect to the temperature during the brazing process, and any material may be used. Good. The heat resistance shows the property of maintaining the physical properties of the material, and can be determined by, for example, the melting point or the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material.
 また、板状体11とろう付け用治具50とは、異なる材料が用いられると好ましく、さらに、ろう付け用治具50は、板状体11と比較してより耐熱性が高い材料が用いられるとより好ましい。これは、炉内で積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理が行われる際に、加熱によって板状体11の変形が生じる可能性がある場合でも、より耐熱性の高いろう付け用治具50によって板状体11の変形を抑制できるためである。 Further, it is preferable that a different material is used between the plate-shaped body 11 and the brazing jig 50, and further, the brazing jig 50 uses a material having higher heat resistance than the plate-shaped body 11. It is more preferable to be brazed. This is a brazing jig 50 having higher heat resistance even when the plate-like body 11 may be deformed by heating when the brazing treatment of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is performed in the furnace. This is because the deformation of the plate-shaped body 11 can be suppressed.
 加圧治具70は、積層型冷媒分配器60に対して第1治具51および第2治具52が配置された状態で、第1治具51側および第2治具52側の加圧面から中心方向(z方向)に加圧し、第1治具51、第2治具52および複数の板状体11を固定する。 The pressurizing jig 70 has a pressurizing surface on the first jig 51 side and the second jig 52 side in a state where the first jig 51 and the second jig 52 are arranged with respect to the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. The first jig 51, the second jig 52, and the plurality of plate-shaped bodies 11 are fixed by applying pressure in the central direction (z direction).
 加圧治具70は、把持部71を有している。把持部71は、例えば弾性力によって開閉動作し、ろう付け前の積層型冷媒分配器60が第1治具51および第2治具52によって挟まれた状態で、第1治具51および第2治具52の加圧面を把持する。 The pressurizing jig 70 has a grip portion 71. The grip portion 71 is opened and closed by, for example, an elastic force, and the first jig 51 and the second jig 51 and the second jig 51 are sandwiched between the first jig 51 and the second jig 52 with the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 before brazing. The pressure surface of the jig 52 is gripped.
 なお、加圧治具70は、この例に限られない。第1治具51および第2治具52が取り付けられた積層型冷媒分配器60を加圧することができ、積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理の際の熱に対する耐熱性を有していれば、どのような形状および材質のものでもよい。 The pressurizing jig 70 is not limited to this example. The laminated refrigerant distributor 60 to which the first jig 51 and the second jig 52 are attached can be pressurized, and has heat resistance to heat during the brazing process of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. For example, it may be of any shape and material.
[積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理]
 次に、積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理について説明する。図10~図13は、積層型冷媒分配器のろう付け処理の流れについて説明するための概略図である。
[Brazing process of laminated refrigerant distributor 60]
Next, the brazing process of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 will be described. 10 to 13 are schematic views for explaining the flow of the brazing process of the laminated refrigerant distributor.
 まず、図10に示すように、第1板状部材12_1~12_6と、第2板状部材13_1~13_5とが交互に配置される。第1板状部材12_1の貫通孔12a_1には、入口管である冷媒配管がろう付けによって予め取り付けられている。次に、図11に示すように、第1板状部材12_1~12_6と、第2板状部材13_1~13_5とが積層される。これにより、ろう付け前の積層型冷媒分配器60が形成される。 First, as shown in FIG. 10, the first plate-shaped members 12_1 to 12_6 and the second plate-shaped members 13_1 to 13_5 are alternately arranged. A refrigerant pipe, which is an inlet pipe, is previously attached to the through hole 12a_1 of the first plate-shaped member 12_1 by brazing. Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the first plate-shaped members 12_1 to 12_6 and the second plate-shaped members 13_1 to 13_5 are laminated. As a result, the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 before brazing is formed.
 第1板状部材12_1~12_6と、第2板状部材13_1~13_5とが積層されると、図12に示すように、第1治具51および第2治具52が、積層された積層型冷媒分配器60を挟み込むように配置される。第1治具51の分割第1治具51Aは、長手方向の一方の端面が積層型冷媒分配器60の長手方向の一方の端面と一致するように配置される。また、第1治具51の分割第1治具51Bは、長手方向の他方の端面が積層型冷媒分配器60の長手方向の他方の端面と一致するように配置される。第2治具52は、第2貫通孔52aを介して、第1板状部材12_1に取り付けられた入口管を避けるようにして配置される。 When the first plate-shaped members 12_1 to 12_6 and the second plate-shaped members 13_1 to 13_5 are laminated, as shown in FIG. 12, the first jig 51 and the second jig 52 are laminated. It is arranged so as to sandwich the refrigerant distributor 60. Division of the first jig 51 The first jig 51A is arranged so that one end face in the longitudinal direction coincides with one end face in the longitudinal direction of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. Further, the divided first jig 51B of the first jig 51 is arranged so that the other end face in the longitudinal direction coincides with the other end face in the longitudinal direction of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. The second jig 52 is arranged so as to avoid the inlet pipe attached to the first plate-shaped member 12_1 through the second through hole 52a.
 そして、第1治具51および第2治具52の加圧面が加圧治具70の把持部71によって加圧される。これにより、第1治具51、積層型冷媒分配器60および第2治具52がそれぞれ接した状態で加圧治具70によって固定される。 Then, the pressurizing surfaces of the first jig 51 and the second jig 52 are pressurized by the grip portion 71 of the pressurizing jig 70. As a result, the first jig 51, the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, and the second jig 52 are fixed by the pressurizing jig 70 in contact with each other.
 次に、ろう付け用治具50が取り付けられた積層型冷媒分配器60は、炉内で加熱される。これにより、第2板状部材13に塗布されたろうが溶融し、第1板状部材12および第2板状部材13が接合される。そして、図13に示すように、ろう付けされた積層型冷媒分配器60に対して、出口管としての伝熱管4が第1板状部材12_6の伝熱管挿入部2bに挿入され、ろう材によってろう付けされる。 Next, the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 to which the brazing jig 50 is attached is heated in the furnace. As a result, the wax applied to the second plate-shaped member 13 is melted, and the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13 are joined. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the heat transfer tube 4 as an outlet pipe is inserted into the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b of the first plate-shaped member 12_6 with respect to the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor 60, and the brazed material is used. Brazed.
 図14は、ろう付け処理後の積層型冷媒分配器の状態を示す概略図である。図14に示すように、積層型冷媒分配器60に対するろう付け処理が完了すると、ろう付け処理の加熱により、積層型冷媒分配器60の表面には加熱痕80が形成される。これは、ろう付け処理の際に、積層型冷媒分配器60の外面側の第1板状部材12_1および12_6の表面のうち、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bが接している部分と、それ以外の部分とで、酸化の仕方が異なるためである。ここでいう「表面」は、積層型冷媒分配器60における板状体11の積層方向の端面を示す。 FIG. 14 is a schematic view showing the state of the laminated refrigerant distributor after the brazing treatment. As shown in FIG. 14, when the brazing treatment for the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is completed, heating marks 80 are formed on the surface of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 by heating the brazing treatment. This is the portion of the surfaces of the first plate-shaped members 12_1 and 12_6 on the outer surface side of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 that are in contact with the divided first jigs 51A and 51B during the brazing process, and other parts. This is because the method of oxidation is different from that of the part. The “surface” here refers to the end face of the plate-shaped body 11 in the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 in the laminated direction.
 具体的には、第1板状部材12_1および12_6の表面のうち、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bが接している部分は、炉内で空気に直接触れることがないため、酸化が抑制される。これに対して、第1板状部材12_1および12_6の表面のうち、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bが接している部分以外の部分は、炉内で空気に触れるため、酸化が促進される。 Specifically, on the surfaces of the first plate-shaped members 12_1 and 12_6, the portions in contact with the divided first jigs 51A and 51B do not come into direct contact with air in the furnace, so that oxidation is suppressed. .. On the other hand, on the surfaces of the first plate-shaped members 12_1 and 12_6, the parts other than the parts in contact with the first divided jigs 51A and 51B come into contact with air in the furnace, so that oxidation is promoted.
 このように、ろう付けされた積層型冷媒分配器60における板状体11の積層方向の端面である表面の状態を確認することにより、どのようなろう付け用治具が用いられたのかを判断することができる。 In this way, by confirming the state of the surface of the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor 60, which is the end surface of the plate-shaped body 11 in the laminating direction, it is possible to determine what kind of brazing jig was used. can do.
[板状体11の熱膨張]
 ろう付け処理時の板状体11の熱膨張について説明する。背景技術の項でも説明したように、従来のろう付け処理の際には、複数の板状体11の線膨張率と、従来のろう付け用治具の線膨張率との差により、伝熱管4が挿入される伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法が変化する。そのため、ろう付けされた積層型冷媒分配器に複数の伝熱管4を同時に挿入する際に、伝熱管4の挿入性が悪化する。
[Thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11]
The thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 during the brazing process will be described. As explained in the section of background technology, in the conventional brazing process, the heat transfer tube is determined by the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the plurality of plate-shaped bodies 11 and the linear expansion coefficient of the conventional brazing jig. The position and size of the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b into which the 4 is inserted changes. Therefore, when a plurality of heat transfer tubes 4 are simultaneously inserted into the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor, the insertability of the heat transfer tubes 4 deteriorates.
 そこで、本実施の形態1では、ろう付け処理の際に生じる板状体11の熱膨張の影響を低減し、ろう付けされた積層型冷媒分配器60に複数の伝熱管4を同時に挿入する際の伝熱管4の挿入性を向上させる。以下では、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具50を用いた場合の板状体11の熱膨張について説明する前に、従来のろう付け用治具を用いた場合の板状体11の熱膨張について説明する。 Therefore, in the first embodiment, when the influence of thermal expansion of the plate-like body 11 generated during the brazing process is reduced and a plurality of heat transfer tubes 4 are simultaneously inserted into the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor 60. The insertability of the heat transfer tube 4 of the above is improved. In the following, before explaining the thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 when the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment is used, the plate-shaped body 11 when the conventional brazing jig is used The thermal expansion of the above will be described.

(Conventional brazing jig 150)
FIG. 15 is a schematic view showing an example of the configuration of a conventional brazing jig. FIG. 16 is a schematic view for explaining the arrangement of the conventional brazing jig with respect to the laminated refrigerant distributor. FIG. 17 is a schematic view showing an arrangement state of a conventional brazing jig during a brazing process.
 図15に示すように、従来のろう付け用治具150は、第1治具151および第2治具152で構成されている。ろう付け用治具150は、図16および図17に示すように、第1治具151と第2治具152とで、複数の板状体11で形成されたろう付け前の積層型冷媒分配器60を挟み込むように使用される。そして、第1治具151、第2治具152および積層型冷媒分配器60は、ろう付け処理の際に、加圧治具70によって加圧されて固定される。 As shown in FIG. 15, the conventional brazing jig 150 is composed of a first jig 151 and a second jig 152. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the brazing jig 150 is a laminated refrigerant distributor before brazing, which is formed of a plurality of plate-shaped bodies 11 by the first jig 151 and the second jig 152. It is used to sandwich 60. Then, the first jig 151, the second jig 152, and the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 are pressed and fixed by the pressurizing jig 70 during the brazing process.
 第1治具151は、例えばステンレス製であり、長尺状に形成されている。第1治具151は、長手方向(図15のx方向)および短手方向(y方向)それぞれの長さが積層型冷媒分配器60の長手方向および短手方向それぞれの長さと略同等の長さとなるように形成されている。なお、従来の第1治具151は、本実施の形態1に係る第1治具51と異なり、1枚の板状部材であるとともに、第1貫通孔51aが形成されていない。 The first jig 151 is made of stainless steel, for example, and is formed in a long shape. The length of the first jig 151 in the longitudinal direction (x direction in FIG. 15) and the length in the lateral direction (y direction) is substantially the same as the length in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. It is formed so as to be. Unlike the first jig 51 according to the first embodiment, the conventional first jig 151 is a single plate-shaped member and does not have a first through hole 51a.
 積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理が行われる場合、第1治具151は、図16に示すように、積層された複数の板状体11の積層方向(z方向)の端面のうち、伝熱管4が接続される冷媒出口側の端面に接するように配置される。 When the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is brazed, the first jig 151 uses the end faces of the plurality of laminated plate-like bodies 11 in the stacking direction (z direction) as shown in FIG. The heat transfer tube 4 is arranged so as to be in contact with the end surface on the refrigerant outlet side to which the heat transfer tube 4 is connected.
 第2治具152は、例えばステンレス製であり、本実施の形態1に係る第2治具52と同様に、長尺状に形成されている。積層型冷媒分配器60のろう付け処理が行われる場合、第2治具152は、図16に示すように、積層された複数の板状体11の積層方向(z方向)の端面のうち、円管が接続される冷媒入口側の端面に接するように配置される。また、第2治具152には、本実施の形態1に係る第2治具52と同様に、第2貫通孔52aが形成されている。 The second jig 152 is made of stainless steel, for example, and is formed in a long shape like the second jig 52 according to the first embodiment. When the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is brazed, the second jig 152 uses, as shown in FIG. 16, among the end faces of the plurality of laminated plate-like bodies 11 in the stacking direction (z direction). It is arranged so as to be in contact with the end face on the refrigerant inlet side to which the circular pipe is connected. Further, the second jig 152 is formed with a second through hole 52a as in the second jig 52 according to the first embodiment.
(従来のろう付け用治具150を用いた場合の板状体11の熱膨張)
 図18および図19は、従来のろう付け用治具を用いた場合の、ろう付け処理時における板状体の熱膨張について説明するための模式断面図である。なお、図18および図19では、説明を容易とするため、ろう付け用治具150の第1治具151と、第1治具151に接する第1板状部材12_6~第2板状部材13_3までの一部の板状体11とを図示する。また、図18において、第1治具151とそれぞれの板状体11とに示される矢印は、長手方向(x方向)における熱膨張の状態を示し、矢印の長さは熱膨張量を示すものとする。さらに、図19において、第1治具151と積層型冷媒分配器60とに示される矢印は、長手方向(x方向)における熱収縮の状態を示し、矢印の長さは熱収縮量を示すものとする。熱膨張および熱収縮は、板状体11の短手方向(y方向)においても発生するが、ここでは、説明を容易とするため、長手方向における熱膨張および熱収縮のみを図示して説明する。
(Thermal expansion of the plate-like body 11 when the conventional brazing jig 150 is used)
18 and 19 are schematic cross-sectional views for explaining the thermal expansion of the plate-like body during the brazing process when a conventional brazing jig is used. In addition, in FIGS. 18 and 19, in order to facilitate the explanation, the first jig 151 of the brazing jig 150 and the first plate-shaped member 12_6 to the second plate-shaped member 13_3 in contact with the first jig 151 A part of the plate-shaped body 11 up to is illustrated. Further, in FIG. 18, the arrows shown on the first jig 151 and the respective plate-shaped bodies 11 indicate the state of thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction (x direction), and the length of the arrow indicates the amount of thermal expansion. And. Further, in FIG. 19, the arrows shown by the first jig 151 and the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 indicate the state of heat shrinkage in the longitudinal direction (x direction), and the length of the arrow indicates the amount of heat shrinkage. And. Thermal expansion and contraction also occur in the lateral direction (y direction) of the plate-shaped body 11, but here, for ease of explanation, only thermal expansion and thermal contraction in the longitudinal direction will be illustrated and described. ..
 従来のろう付け用治具150が用いられる場合のろう付け処理では、積層型冷媒分配器60を構成する板状体11に対して熱が加わると、図18に示すように、第1治具151およびそれぞれの板状体11では、熱膨張が発生する。ここで、ステンレス製の第1治具151と、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金製の板状体11とでは、線膨張率が異なる。また、第1板状部材12と第2板状部材13との間には、第2板状部材13の表面に塗布されたろう材が介在している。 In the brazing process when the conventional brazing jig 150 is used, when heat is applied to the plate-shaped body 11 constituting the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, as shown in FIG. 18, the first jig Thermal expansion occurs in 151 and each plate-shaped body 11. Here, the linear expansion coefficient is different between the first jig 151 made of stainless steel and the plate-shaped body 11 made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Further, a brazing material applied to the surface of the second plate-shaped member 13 is interposed between the first plate-shaped member 12 and the second plate-shaped member 13.
 このような場合に、ろう材が溶融すると、表裏に溶融したろう材が存在する12_4および12_5と、第2板状部材13_3~13_5とは、溶融したろう材によって制限あるいは規制されることなく熱膨張する。 In such a case, when the brazing material is melted, 12_4 and 12_5 in which the molten brazing material is present on the front and back surfaces and the second plate-shaped members 13_3 to 13_5 are heated without being restricted or restricted by the molten brazing material. Inflate.
 これに対して、第1治具151に接する第1板状部材12_6は、表面にろう材が介在していない。そのため、第1治具151の熱膨張の影響を受け、他の板状体11である第1板状部材12_4および12_5ならびに第2板状部材13_3~13_5と比較して、熱膨張が制限あるいは規制される。 On the other hand, the first plate-shaped member 12_6 in contact with the first jig 151 does not have a brazing material interposed on the surface. Therefore, it is affected by the thermal expansion of the first jig 151, and the thermal expansion is limited or limited as compared with the first plate-shaped members 12_4 and 12_5 and the second plate-shaped members 13_3 to 13_5 which are other plate-shaped bodies 11. Be regulated.
 一方、ろう付け処理によってそれぞれの板状体11がろう付けされた後、積層型冷媒分配器60が放熱されると、ろう付けされた積層型冷媒分配器60では、図19に示すように、熱収縮が発生する。このとき、積層型冷媒分配器60を構成するそれぞれの板状体11は、あたかも一体型の積層型冷媒分配器60として収縮する。そのため、第1治具151に接する第1板状部材12_6の熱収縮量は、熱膨張量よりも大きくなる。これにより、第1板状部材12_6に設けられた伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法は、ろう付け前の状態と比較して変化する。 On the other hand, when the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 dissipates heat after the respective plate-shaped bodies 11 are brazed by the brazing process, the brazed laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is as shown in FIG. Heat shrinkage occurs. At this time, each plate-shaped body 11 constituting the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 contracts as if it were an integrated laminated refrigerant distributor 60. Therefore, the amount of heat shrinkage of the first plate-shaped member 12_6 in contact with the first jig 151 is larger than the amount of thermal expansion. As a result, the position and dimensions of the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b provided on the first plate-shaped member 12_6 change as compared with the state before brazing.
 このように、従来のろう付け用治具150を用いて板状体11のろう付け処理を行った場合には、ろう付け用治具150に接する板状体11とそれ以外の板状体11との熱膨張量が異なることにより、伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法が変化する。 In this way, when the plate-shaped body 11 is brazed using the conventional brazing jig 150, the plate-shaped body 11 in contact with the brazing jig 150 and the other plate-shaped bodies 11 are in contact with each other.

 図20は、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具を用いた場合の、ろう付け処理時における板状体11の熱膨張について説明するための模式断面図である。なお、図20では、説明を容易とするため、ろう付け用治具50の第1治具51と、第1治具51に接する第1板状部材12_6~第2板状部材13_3までの一部の板状体11とを図示する。また、図20において、第1治具51とそれぞれの板状体11とに示される矢印は、長手方向(x方向)における熱膨張の状態を示し、矢印の長さは熱膨張量を示すものとする。熱膨張および熱収縮は、板状体11の短手方向(y方向)においても発生するが、ここでは、説明を容易とするため、長手方向における熱膨張および熱収縮のみを図示して説明する。
(Thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 when the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment is used)
FIG. 20 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining the thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 during the brazing process when the brazing jig according to the first embodiment is used. In FIG. 20, for the sake of simplicity, the first jig 51 of the brazing jig 50 and one of the first plate-shaped members 12_6 to the second plate-shaped members 13_3 in contact with the first jig 51. The plate-shaped body 11 of the portion is illustrated. Further, in FIG. 20, the arrows shown on the first jig 51 and the respective plate-shaped bodies 11 indicate the state of thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction (x direction), and the length of the arrow indicates the amount of thermal expansion. And. Thermal expansion and contraction also occur in the lateral direction (y direction) of the plate-shaped body 11, but here, for ease of explanation, only thermal expansion and thermal contraction in the longitudinal direction will be illustrated and described. ..
 本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具50が用いられる場合のろう付け処理では、積層型冷媒分配器60を構成する板状体11に対して熱が加わると、図20に示すように、第1治具51およびそれぞれの板状体11では、熱膨張が発生する。このとき、ステンレス製の第1治具151と、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金製の板状体11とでは、線膨張率が異なる。 In the brazing process when the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment is used, when heat is applied to the plate-shaped body 11 constituting the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, as shown in FIG. , The first jig 51 and each of the plate-shaped bodies 11 generate thermal expansion. At this time, the linear expansion coefficient is different between the first jig 151 made of stainless steel and the plate-shaped body 11 made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
 一方、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具50では、第1治具51が複数の分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bに分割されている。そのため、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bは、接している第1板状部材12_6の熱膨張に追従する。これにより、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bに接する第1板状部材12_6は、第1治具51の熱膨張の影響を受けることなく、他の板状体11である第1板状部材12_4および12_5ならびに第2板状部材13_3~13_5と同様に熱膨張する。 On the other hand, in the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment, the first jig 51 is divided into a plurality of divided first jigs 51A and 51B. Therefore, the split first jigs 51A and 51B follow the thermal expansion of the first plate-shaped member 12_6 in contact with the first plate-shaped member 12_6. As a result, the first plate-shaped member 12_6 in contact with the divided first jigs 51A and 51B is not affected by the thermal expansion of the first jig 51, and the first plate-shaped member 12_4 which is another plate-shaped body 11 And 12_5 and the second plate-shaped members 13_3 to 13_5 are thermally expanded.
 熱収縮については、図示しないが、従来のろう付け用治具150を用いた場合と同様に、積層型冷媒分配器60が放熱されると、積層型冷媒分配器60を構成するそれぞれの板状体11は、あたかも一体型の積層型冷媒分配器60として収縮する。そのため、分割第1治具51Aおよび51Bに接する第1板状部材12_6は、他の板状体11である第1板状部材12_4および12_5ならびに第2板状部材13_3~13_5と同様に熱収縮する。 Although not shown, heat shrinkage is not shown, but as in the case of using the conventional brazing jig 150, when the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 dissipates heat, each plate shape constituting the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is formed. The body 11 contracts as if it were an integrated laminated refrigerant distributor 60. Therefore, the first plate-shaped member 12_6 in contact with the divided first jigs 51A and 51B is heat-shrinked in the same manner as the first plate-shaped members 12_4 and 12_5 and the second plate-shaped members 13_3 to 13_5, which are other plate-shaped bodies 11. To do.
 したがって、この場合には、それぞれの板状体11における熱膨張量と熱収縮量とに差異がないため、伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法の変化が抑制される。 Therefore, in this case, since there is no difference in the amount of thermal expansion and the amount of heat contraction in each plate-shaped body 11, changes in the position and dimensions of the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b are suppressed.
 以上のように、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具50は、積層型冷媒分配器60における板状体11の積層方向の一方の端面に接して設けられ、長尺状の板状体11の長手方向において複数に分割された第1治具51と、板状体11の積層方向の他方の端面に接して設けられる第2治具52とを備えている。これにより、積層型冷媒分配器60に対するろう付け処理の際に、第1治具51が、第1治具51と接する板状体11の熱膨張に追従するので、第1治具51に接する板状体11は、第1治具51の熱膨張の影響を受けることなく熱膨張する。したがって、ろう付け処理の際の板状体の11の熱膨張量と熱収縮量とに差異がないので、伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法の変化を抑制することができる。 As described above, the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment is provided in contact with one end face of the plate-like body 11 in the stacking direction in the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, and has a long plate shape. A first jig 51 divided into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction of the body 11 and a second jig 52 provided in contact with the other end surface of the plate-shaped body 11 in the stacking direction are provided. As a result, during the brazing process on the laminated refrigerant distributor 60, the first jig 51 follows the thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 in contact with the first jig 51, and thus comes into contact with the first jig 51. The plate-shaped body 11 thermally expands without being affected by the thermal expansion of the first jig 51. Therefore, since there is no difference between the amount of thermal expansion and the amount of heat shrinkage of the plate-shaped body 11 during the brazing process, changes in the position and dimensions of the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b can be suppressed.
 ろう付け用治具50において、第1治具51は、板状体11の積層方向に貫通する第1貫通孔51aを有している。この場合、第1貫通孔51aは、板状体11に形成された伝熱管挿入部2bに対応する位置に設けられると好ましい。これにより、第1治具51と板状体11との接触面積が減少するため、ろう付け処理の際に生じる板状体11の熱膨張に対する第1治具51の熱膨張の影響を低減することができ、伝熱管挿入部2bの位置および寸法の変化をさらに抑制することができる。 In the brazing jig 50, the first jig 51 has a first through hole 51a penetrating in the stacking direction of the plate-shaped body 11. In this case, it is preferable that the first through hole 51a is provided at a position corresponding to the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b formed in the plate-shaped body 11. As a result, the contact area between the first jig 51 and the plate-shaped body 11 is reduced, so that the influence of the thermal expansion of the first jig 51 on the thermal expansion of the plate-shaped body 11 that occurs during the brazing process is reduced. This makes it possible to further suppress changes in the position and dimensions of the heat transfer tube insertion portion 2b.
 ろう付け用治具50において、第2治具52は、板状体11に取り付けられた配管を避ける第2貫通孔52aを有している。これにより、配管の有無によらず、ろう付け処理の際に、第2治具52を積層型冷媒分配器60に取り付けることができる。 In the brazing jig 50, the second jig 52 has a second through hole 52a that avoids the piping attached to the plate-shaped body 11. As a result, the second jig 52 can be attached to the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 during the brazing process regardless of the presence or absence of piping.
 また、本実施の形態1に係る積層型冷媒分配器60は、本実施の形態1に係るろう付け用治具50を用いて作製されたものであり、板状体11の積層方向の端面に加熱痕80が形成されている。このような加熱痕80は、積層型冷媒分配器60に対するろう付け処理の際に、板状体11の表面に取り付けられるろう付け用治具に接触する部分と接触しない部分とで、酸化の仕方が異なることで生じる。そのため、加熱痕80の状態により、積層型冷媒分配器60を作製した際のろう付け用治具の形状を判断することができる。 Further, the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 according to the first embodiment is manufactured by using the brazing jig 50 according to the first embodiment, and is formed on the end face of the plate-shaped body 11 in the laminated direction. A heating mark 80 is formed. Such a heating mark 80 is a method of oxidation at a portion that contacts the brazing jig attached to the surface of the plate-shaped body 11 and a portion that does not contact during the brazing treatment of the laminated refrigerant distributor 60. Is caused by different. Therefore, the shape of the brazing jig when the laminated refrigerant distributor 60 is manufactured can be determined from the state of the heating marks 80.
