Detailed description of the invention
By reference to the accompanying drawings embodiments of the present invention are described.
Ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiment is such as the refrigeration machine of Ji Fude-McMahon (GM) formula helium being used as refrigerant gas.Ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 possesses displacer 2, between displacer 2, form the cooling bench 5 of the bottomed cylindrical that the cylinder body 4 of expansion space 3 and mode that is adjacent with expansion space 3 and that surround this expansion space 3 in addition exist.Cooling bench 5 plays a role as the heat exchanger carrying out heat exchange between cooling object and refrigerant gas.Displacer 2 comprises main part 2a and the cap 2b in low-temperature end.Cap 2b can be made up of the parts identical with main part 2a.Further, cap 2b also can be made up of the material of thermal conductivity factor higher than main part 2a.Thus, cap 2b is also as playing a role flowing through the heat-conducting part carrying out heat exchange between the refrigerant gas in cap 2b.Cap 2b such as uses the thermal conductivity factors such as copper, aluminium, stainless steel to be at least greater than the material of main part 2a.Cooling bench 5 is such as made up of copper, aluminium, stainless steel etc.
Compressor 12 reclaims low pressure refrigerant gas from suction side, and the backward ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 compressed supplies higher pressure refrigerant gas.As refrigerant gas, such as, can use helium etc., but be not limited thereto.
Displacer 2 holds into and can move back and forth along long side direction by cylinder body 4.Consider from viewpoints such as intensity, thermal conductivity factor, helium isolating powers, cylinder body 4 such as uses stainless steel.
Be provided with the not shown scotch yoke mechanism back and forth driving displacer 2 in the temperature end of displacer 2, displacer 2 moves along the axial reciprocating of cylinder body 4.
Displacer 2 has cylindric outer peripheral face, is filled with cool storage material in the inside of displacer 2.The internal capacity of this displacer 2 forms regenerator 7.The rectifier (not shown) flowing of helium being carried out to rectification can be provided with in the upper end side of regenerator 7 and lower end side.
The upper opening 11 that refrigerant gas is circulated from this Room 8 to displacer 2 is formed in the temperature end of displacer 2.Room 8 is the space formed by the temperature end of cylinder body 4 and displacer 2, and its volume changes along with moving back and forth of displacer 2.
Room 8 is connected with by the common pipe arrangement of supply and discharge in the interconnective pipe arrangement of suction and discharge system that is made up of compressor 12, supply valve 13, return valve 14.Further, partially leaning between the part of temperature end and cylinder body 4 of displacer 2, seal 15 is installed.
The refrigerant gas stream 16 importing refrigerant gas to expansion space 3 is formed in the low-temperature end of displacer 2.Expansion space 3 is the space formed by cylinder body 4 and displacer 2, and its volume changes along with moving back and forth of displacer 2.Be configured with in the position corresponding with expansion space 3 of the periphery of cylinder body 4 and bottom and cool the hot linked cooling bench 5 of object, cooling bench 5 is cooled by the refrigerant gas being flowed into expansion space 3 by refrigerant gas stream 16.
Consider from viewpoints such as proportion, intensity, thermal conductivity factors, the main part 2a of displacer 2 such as uses phenolic resins etc.Cool storage material is such as made up of woven wire etc.In addition, the operating state of ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 shown in Fig. 1.Therefore, along with main part 2a shrinks a little because of low temperature, main part 2a and cap 2b are in the identical state of external diameter, but at normal temperatures, the external diameter of cap 2b is slightly less than the external diameter of main part 2a.
Then, the action of ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 is described.At the point sometime of refrigerant gas supply step, displacer 2 is positioned at the lower dead center LP of cylinder body 4.If the moment of meanwhile or a little staggering opens supply valve 13, then higher pressure refrigerant gas is supplied in cylinder body 4 from the common pipe arrangement of supply and discharge via supply valve 13.Its result, higher pressure refrigerant gas flows into the regenerator 7 of displacer 2 inside from the upper opening 11 being arranged in displacer 2 top.While the higher pressure refrigerant gas flow in regenerator 7 is cooled by cool storage material, be supplied to expansion space 3 via the refrigerant gas stream 16 being positioned at displacer 2 bottom.
If expansion space 3 is filled up by higher pressure refrigerant gas, then supply valve 13 is closed.Now, displacer 2 is positioned at the top dead centre UP of cylinder body 4.If the moment of meanwhile or a little staggering opens return valve 14, then the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 is depressurized and expands.The heat of cooling bench 5 is absorbed by the helium being expanded into the expansion space 3 of low temperature.
Displacer 2 moves towards lower dead center LP, thus the volume of expansion space 3 reduces.Refrigerant gas in expansion space 3 turns back to the suction side of compressor 12 via refrigerant gas stream 16, regenerator 7, upper opening 11.Now, cool storage material cooled dose of gas cooling.Using this operation as 1 circulation, ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 repeats this cool cycles, cools thus to cooling bench 5.
In the ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiment and displacer 2, the heat entered from cooling bench 5 enters to cap 2b via the refrigerant gas existed expansion space 3.That is, when the low temperature refrigerant gas produced in expansion space 3 is by refrigerant gas stream 16, between refrigerant gas and cap 2b, heat exchange is carried out.
Further, the heat entering into cap 2b transmits towards expansion space 3 in cap 2b inside further.As mentioned above, cap 2b is possessed in the low-temperature end of displacer 2.Therefore, cap 2b contacts with the low temperature refrigerant gas in expansion space 3, thus can improve the heat exchange efficiency between cooling bench 5 and refrigerant gas further.
In addition, the cap 2b of displacer 2 is sometimes also made up of such as phenolic resins etc.But compared with the ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by the present embodiment being made up cap 2b of thermal conductivity factor higher than the material of main part 2a, the heat exchange between refrigerant gas and lid reduces, and does not substantially carry out heat exchange.Therefore, carry out heat exchange between the low temperature refrigerant gas only produced in expansion space 3 and cooling bench 5, cooling effectiveness declines.Therefore, with regard to the Gai Eryan of displacer 2, preferably make cap 2b by thermal conductivity factor higher than the material of main part 2a.
As described above, in the ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiment, displacer 2 moves back and forth in cylinder body 4, thus makes the refrigerant gas in expansion space 3 expand and produce cold.As shown in Figure 1, in order to moving back and forth of displacer 2, between cylinder body 4 and displacer 2, be provided with clearance C.Part adjacent with cooling bench 5 in clearance C plays a role as the heat exchanger carrying out heat exchange between the refrigerant gas in cooling bench 5 and clearance C.
At this, be also known as and made the refrigerant gas in displacer 2 be made by heat exchanger refrigerant gas stream 16 towards the technology of the radial direction (direction towards the side of cylinder body 4) of cylinder body 4.According to the method, although the advantage having heat exchange area to increase, there is the trend that the bending and flow path area of refrigerant gas stream 16 narrows.Its result, flow path resistance increases, thus produces the pressure loss.Further, when displacer 2 moves back and forth in cylinder body 4, because of the heat conduction of refrigerant gas that exists in clearance C and the loss produced and so-called " loss of shuttling back and forth " also increase.
Loss of shuttling back and forth is reduced, refrigerant gas stream 16 is axially set and makes the technology that refrigerant gas to flow out to the bottom surface of cylinder body 4 at cylinder body 4 in contrast, be also known as.The method owing to actively not carrying out heat exchange in clearance C, therefore, it is possible to the flow path resistance of reduction refrigerant gas stream 16.Therefore, with by refrigerant gas stream 16 towards the radial direction of cylinder body 4 method compared with, the pressure loss and shuttle back and forth loss reduce.On the other hand, the heat exchange area between the refrigerant gas expanded in expansion space 3 and cooling object narrows, and heat exchange efficiency declines.
Therefore, the refrigerant gas stream 16 that displacer 2 is communicated with expansion space 3 is arranged to when the refrigerant gas flowed into from displacer 2 flows out in expansion space 3 involved by embodiment, makes it tilt towards the long side direction relative to displacer 2.Below, the refrigerant gas stream 16 involved by embodiment is more specifically illustrated.
One example of the refrigerant gas stream 16 shown in Fig. 1 involved by embodiment.As shown in Figure 1, be provided with the 1st opening portion 17 on the surface (hereinafter referred to as " interior surface 19 ") of the private side of the displacer 2 of the cap 2b of displacer 2, and the surface (hereinafter referred to as " outer surface 20 ") of outer side at displacer 2 is provided with the 2nd opening portion 18.Refrigerant gas stream 16 to be arranged to the 1st opening portion 17 as one end, using the 2nd opening portion 18, as the other end, the interior surface 19 in cap 2b be communicated with outer surface 20.
At this, refrigerant gas stream 16 is arranged to as follows: when the 1st opening portion 17 in interior surface 19 is projected to outer surface 20 along the long side direction of displacer 2, the position of the 1st opening portion 17 after projection is different from the position of the 2nd opening portion 18.Thus, when the refrigerant gas flowed into from the 1st opening portion 17 flows out in expansion space 3 from the 2nd opening portion 18, refrigerant gas flows out to the direction different from the long side direction of displacer 2.Its result, with axially arrange compared with the situation of refrigerant gas stream 16 towards the below in Fig. 1 along cylinder body 4, ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiment passes through the effect of the refrigerant gas flowed out in expansion space 3 from the 2nd opening portion 18, easily produces the eddy current of refrigerant gas in expansion space 3.Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency between refrigerant gas and cooling bench 5 is improved.
Further, with make refrigerant gas stream 16 towards the radial direction of cylinder body 4 situation compared with, the ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiment due to the flow path area of refrigerant gas stream 16 can be widened, therefore, it is possible to reduce shuttle back and forth loss and the pressure loss.
At this, the refrigerant gas that refrigerant gas stream 16 is preferably arranged to flow out from the 2nd opening portion 18 is towards the side of cylinder body 4.Thus, the side collision of the refrigerant gas and the cylinder body 4 that flow out from the 2nd opening portion 18 and change moving direction, the flowing of the refrigerant gas therefore in expansion space 3 becomes complexity.Therefore, in expansion space 3, more easily produce the eddy current of refrigerant gas, thus the heat exchange efficiency between refrigerant gas and cooling bench 5 is further enhanced.
In addition, preferably multiple refrigerant gas stream 16 be communicated with the 2nd opening portion 18 1st opening portion 17 is set at the cap 2b of displacer 2.Thereby, it is possible to widen the flow path area of refrigerant gas stream 16 entirety, thus the pressure loss can be reduced further.Further, because refrigerant gas flows out in expansion space 3 from multiple position, the flowing of the refrigerant gas therefore in expansion space 3 becomes complicated.Therefore, in expansion space 3, easily produce the turbulent flow of refrigerant gas, the heat exchange efficiency between refrigerant gas and cooling bench 5 is further enhanced.
Fig. 2 (a)-Fig. 2 (b) is the figure of another example of the refrigerant gas stream 16 represented in the ultra-low temperature refrigerating device 1 involved by embodiments of the present invention.Identical with the example shown in Fig. 1, the refrigerant gas stream 16 of the example shown in Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b) be also arranged to using the 1st opening portion 17 as one end, using the 2nd opening portion 18 as the other end, the interior surface 19 in cap 2b is communicated with outer surface 20.Further, be arranged to when the 1st opening portion 17 in interior surface 19 is projected to outer surface 20 along the long side direction of displacer 2, the position of the 1st opening portion 17 after projection is different from the position of the 2nd opening portion 18.
On the other hand, example shown in Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b) is different from the example shown in Fig. 1, and the direction of being flowed out in expansion space 3 by the refrigerant gas of a refrigerant gas stream 16 is identical with the direction that the refrigerant gas by other refrigerant gas streams 16 flows out in expansion space 3.Thus, the active force of the refrigerant gas flowed out to expansion space 3 works to the direction making the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 rotate, thus the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 easily produces eddy current.In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 2 (a), refrigerant gas stream 16 is configured to linearity, in contrast, in the example shown in Fig. 2 (b), refrigerant gas stream 16 is configured to spiral-shaped.Compared with the example shown in Fig. 2 (b), the example shown in Fig. 2 (a) is easily processing this one side of refrigerant gas stream 16 effectively.On the other hand, compared with the example shown in Fig. 2 (a), in the example shown in Fig. 2 (b), refrigerant gas stream 16 is elongated.Therefore, there is the effect that the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant gas flowing through refrigerant gas stream 16 and cap 2b is improved.
Fig. 3 (a)-Fig. 3 (b) is the figure of the another example of the refrigerant gas stream 16 represented involved by embodiments of the present invention, is the stereogram representing cap 2b and refrigerant gas stream 16.More specifically, Fig. 3 (a)-Fig. 3 (b) is the figure arranging the situation of 4 refrigerant gas streams 16 (refrigerant gas stream 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d) at cap 2b respectively.In addition, compared with the example shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b), in Fig. 3 (a)-Fig. 3 (b), omit a part for cap 2b shape.
At this, 4 articles of refrigerant gas streams 16 shown in Fig. 3 (a) are configured to the example of linearity respectively to the 2nd opening portion 18 from the 1st opening portion 17.Further, shown in Fig. 3 (b), 4 articles of refrigerant gas streams 16 are configured to spiral-shaped example from the 1st opening portion 17 respectively to the 2nd opening portion 18.In Fig. 3 (a)-Fig. 3 (b), the direction of being flowed out in expansion space 3 by the refrigerant gas of a refrigerant gas stream 16 in 4 refrigerant gas streams 16 is different from the direction that the refrigerant gas by other refrigerant gas streams 16 flows out in expansion space 3.
Such as, in Fig. 3 (a), flowed out to lower right in Fig. 3 (a) in expansion space 3 by the refrigerant gas of refrigerant gas stream 16a.In contrast, by the refrigerant gas of the refrigerant gas stream 16c opposition side to the outflow direction of the refrigerant gas by refrigerant gas stream 16a expansion space 3 in, i.e. lower left outflow in Fig. 3 (a).Thus, the active force of the refrigerant gas flowed out to expansion space 3 works to the direction making the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 rotate, thus the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 easily produces eddy current.
More specifically, in Fig. 3 (a), 4 refrigerant gas streams 16 are arranged to the central shaft Rotational Symmetry of the long side direction relative to displacer 2.At this, the central shaft of the long side direction of displacer 2 is consistent with central shaft when cap 2b being regarded as cylinder.Therefore, in Fig. 3 (a), can also say that 4 refrigerant gas streams 16 are arranged to the central shaft Rotational Symmetry relative to cap 2b.
Such as, if by the 90-degree rotation clockwise centered by central shaft of the cap 2b shown in Fig. 3 (a), then the position of postrotational refrigerant gas stream 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d respectively with rotate before refrigerant gas stream 16b, 16c, 16d and 16a consistent.Also identical when revolving turnback or 270 degree, the position of postrotational refrigerant gas stream 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d respectively with rotate before refrigerant gas stream 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d in any one is consistent.
Thus, the refrigerant gas flowed out to expansion space 3 by refrigerant gas stream 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d all plays the effect that the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 is rotated to same direction of rotation.As a result, the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 easily produces eddy current, thus the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant gas that can improve further in expansion space 3 and cap 2b.
In addition, identical with the example shown in Fig. 3 (a), in the example shown in Fig. 3 (b), 4 refrigerant gas streams 16 are also arranged to the central shaft Rotational Symmetry of the long side direction relative to displacer 2.Therefore, its action effect is also identical with the example shown in Fig. 3 (a), and the refrigerant gas of expansion space 3 easily produces eddy current, thus the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant gas that can improve further in expansion space 3 and cap 2b.
