Description

本発明は、空気調和機等に用いられる熱交換器に関する。   The present invention relates to a heat exchanger used for an air conditioner or the like.

従来、フィンチューブ型熱交換器のフィン(放熱板)には、フィン同士の間隔を適正に保つために、フィンの一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサが設けられている。図8の(a)に示すように、フィン101の一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサ102は、その先端面が隣接するフィン101の表面に当接することで、フィン101同士の間隔を適正に保つが、図8の(b)に示すように、このスペーサ102が隣接するフィン101の切り起こし孔103に嵌り込むと、フィン101同士の間隔を適正に保つことができないだけでなく、その後の修正に手間がかかり、組立性が低下するという問題がある。   Conventionally, a fin (heat radiating plate) of a fin tube type heat exchanger has been provided with a spacer formed by cutting and raising a part of the fin in order to keep an appropriate distance between the fins. As shown in FIG. 8A, the spacer 102 formed by cutting and raising a part of the fin 101 has an appropriate distance between the fins 101 by contacting the surface of the adjacent fin 101 with the tip end surface thereof. However, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the spacer 102 is fitted into the cut-and-raised hole 103 of the adjacent fin 101, not only the interval between the fins 101 cannot be maintained properly, but also There is a problem that it takes a lot of time to correct the above, and the assemblability deteriorates.

そこで、図9に示すように、フィン101の一部を逆台形状に切り起こして形成されるスペーサ102が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このようなスペーサ102によれば、その先端幅が根元幅よりも長くなるので、隣接するフィン101の切り起こし孔103に嵌まりにくくなると考えられる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, a spacer 102 formed by cutting and raising a part of the fin 101 into an inverted trapezoidal shape has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to such a spacer 102, since the tip width is longer than the root width, it is considered that it is difficult to fit into the cut-and-raised hole 103 of the adjacent fin 101.

特開2004−353954号公報JP 2004-353594 A

しかしながら、スペーサが逆台形状であっても、隣接するフィンの逆台形状の切り起こし孔に嵌まり込み、スペーサとしての役割が発揮できないという問題が生じており、さらなる改善の余地があった。   However, even if the spacer has an inverted trapezoidal shape, there is a problem that the spacer cannot fit into the inverted trapezoidal cut and raised hole of the adjacent fin and cannot serve as a spacer, and there is room for further improvement.

そこで、本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みなされたものであって、フィンの一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサを備えるものでありながら、スペーサが隣接するフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性を大幅に低減し、組立性を向上させることができる熱交換器の提供を目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and includes a spacer formed by cutting and raising a part of a fin, and the spacer fits into a cut and raised hole of an adjacent fin. An object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger that can greatly reduce the possibility and improve the assemblability.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために提案されたものであり、請求項1に記載の発明は、熱交換器であって、冷媒が流通する扁平管と、前記扁平管を嵌合する嵌合部を有し前記扁平管と交差する方向に延在し前記扁平管の長さ方向に積層される複数のフィンと、前記フィンの一部を切り起こして形成され、その先端が隣り合う前記フィンに当接することで、隣り合う前記フィンとの間隔を保持するスペーサと、を備え、前記スペーサは、前記スペーサの根元側の第1辺と、前記スペーサの先端側の前記第1辺よりも長い第2辺と、前記第1辺端点と前記第2辺の端点とを結ぶ向かい合った側辺を有し、前記側辺は前記第1辺の端点と前記第2辺の端点を結ぶ仮想直線よりも内側にある辺であることを特徴とする。この構成によれば、スペーサを逆台形状とする場合に比べ、スペーサの先端幅を維持しつつ、切り起こし孔の中間部の幅を小さくできるので、スペーサが隣接するフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性を大幅に低減し、組立性を向上させることができる。また、スペーサを逆台形状とする場合に比べ、スペーサの面積を小さくできるので、フィン間を通過する風の抵抗も小さくすることができる。 The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above object, and the invention according to claim 1 is a heat exchanger, wherein a flat tube through which a refrigerant flows and a fitting for fitting the flat tube A plurality of fins extending in a direction intersecting with the flat tube and stacked in the length direction of the flat tube, and the fins formed by cutting and raising a part of the fins and adjacent to each other And a spacer that maintains a distance between adjacent fins, the spacer being longer than the first side on the base side of the spacer and the first side on the tip side of the spacer A second side, and opposite side sides connecting the first side end point and the second side end point, and the side side is an imaginary straight line connecting the first side end point and the second side end point Is also an inner side. According to this configuration, the width of the middle part of the cut-and-raised hole can be reduced while maintaining the width of the leading end of the spacer as compared with the case where the spacer has an inverted trapezoidal shape. This greatly reduces the possibility of assembly and improves assembly. Moreover, since the area of a spacer can be made small compared with the case where a spacer is made into an inverted trapezoid shape, the resistance of the wind which passes between fins can also be made small.

請求項2の発明は、請求項1に記載の熱交換器において、前記側辺の中間部の前記第1辺に平行な幅は前記第1辺よりも短い部分を有することを特徴とする。
この構成によれば、中間部が根元部よりも絞られたスペーサ(切り起こし孔)が得られるので、スペーサが隣接するフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性をさらに低減させることができるだけでなく、フィン間を通過する風の抵抗もさらに小さくすることができる。
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the heat exchanger according to the first aspect, the width parallel to the first side of the intermediate portion of the side is a portion shorter than the first side.
According to this configuration, a spacer (cut-and-raised hole) in which the intermediate portion is narrower than the base portion can be obtained, so that not only can the possibility that the spacer fits into the cut-and-raised hole of the adjacent fin can be further reduced. The resistance of wind passing between the fins can be further reduced.

請求項3の発明は、請求項2に記載の熱交換器において、前記中間部の幅が前記第1辺よりも短い部分は少なくとも第1辺側に位置することを特徴とする。この構成によれば、中間部の根元部よりも絞られた部分が第1辺側に位置するスペーサ(切り起こし孔)が得られるので、スペーサが隣接するフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性をさらに低減させることができるだけでなく、フィン間を通過する風の抵抗もさらに小さくすることができる。 According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the heat exchanger according to the second aspect , a portion where the width of the intermediate portion is shorter than the first side is located at least on the first side. According to this configuration, since the spacer (cut-and-raised hole) in which the portion narrowed down from the base portion of the intermediate portion is located on the first side is obtained, the spacer may be fitted into the cut-and-raised hole of the adjacent fin. Can be further reduced, and the resistance of wind passing between the fins can be further reduced.

本発明によれば、フィンの一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサを備えるものでありながら、スペーサが隣接するフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性を大幅に低減し、組立性を向上させることができる。   According to the present invention, although the spacer is formed by cutting and raising a part of the fin, the possibility that the spacer fits into the cut and raised hole of the adjacent fin is greatly reduced and the assembling property is improved. be able to.

And a plurality of fins 21 stacked in the length direction of the tube 19.

図5は、本発明の実施形態に係る熱交換器の要部断面図である。
図5に示すように、扁平管19は、矢印で示す空気流通方向に延びた扁平な形状を有し、その内部には、空気流通方向に並ぶ複数の冷媒流路19aが形成されている。
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of the heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, the flat tube 19 has a flat shape extending in the air flow direction indicated by an arrow, and a plurality of refrigerant channels 19 a arranged in the air flow direction are formed therein.

扁平管19は、空気が通過するための隙間を介して上下に並列に配置され、その両端部が一対のヘッダ20に接続される。例えば、図4の(b)に示す熱交換器5では、左右方向に沿う複数の扁平管19を上下方向に所定の隙間を介して並列させ、それぞれ扁平管19の両端部をヘッダ20に接続している。   The flat tubes 19 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction through a gap through which air passes, and both ends thereof are connected to a pair of headers 20. For example, in the heat exchanger 5 shown in FIG. 4B, a plurality of flat tubes 19 extending in the left-right direction are juxtaposed in a vertical direction with a predetermined gap, and both ends of the flat tubes 19 are connected to the header 20 respectively. doing.

ヘッダ20は、円筒形状を有しており、その内部において、熱交換器5に供給された冷媒を複数の扁平管19に分岐状に流入させたり、複数の扁平管19から流出した冷媒を合流させる。   The header 20 has a cylindrical shape, in which the refrigerant supplied to the heat exchanger 5 is branched into the plurality of flat tubes 19 or the refrigerant flowing out of the plurality of flat tubes 19 is merged. Let

フィン21は、図5の正面視において扁平管19と交差する方向に延在する平板形状を有しており、扁平管19の長さ方向に空気が通過するための隙間を介して並列に積層して配置されている。例えば、図4の(b)に示す熱交換器5では、上下方向に沿う複数のフィン21が左右方向に所定の隙間を介して並列に配置されている。   The fin 21 has a flat plate shape extending in a direction intersecting with the flat tube 19 in a front view of FIG. 5, and is laminated in parallel through a gap for air to pass in the length direction of the flat tube 19. Are arranged. For example, in the heat exchanger 5 shown in FIG. 4B, a plurality of fins 21 along the vertical direction are arranged in parallel via a predetermined gap in the horizontal direction.

図5に示すように、フィン21には、扁平管19と嵌合される複数の嵌合部21aが形成されており、これらの嵌合部21aを扁平管19と嵌合させた状態でロウ付けすることにより、フィン21と扁平管19とが一体的に接合される。なお、本実施形態の嵌合部21aは、風上側が開口した切り欠き溝形状であるが、打ち抜き孔形状であってもよい。   As shown in FIG. 5, the fin 21 is formed with a plurality of fitting portions 21 a to be fitted to the flat tubes 19, and the fitting portions 21 a are fitted in the flat tubes 19 in the state where the fins 21 are fitted. By attaching, the fin 21 and the flat tube 19 are integrally joined. In addition, although the fitting part 21a of this embodiment is a notch groove shape which the windward side opened, a punching hole shape may be sufficient.

[スペーサ]
つぎに、本発明の要部であるフィン21のスペーサ22について、図5及び図6を参照して説明する。
[Spacer]
Next, the spacer 22 of the fin 21 which is the main part of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

図6は、本発明の実施形態に係る熱交換器のフィンに形成されたスペーサ及び切り起こし孔を示す図であり、(a)はフィンの要部側面図、(b)はフィンの要部斜視図、(c)はスペーサのA−A断面図、(d)はフィンの要部正面図である。
図5及び図6に示すように、フィン21には、隣り合うフィン21同士の間隔(例えば、1mm〜数mm)を適正に保つために、フィン21の一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサ22が設けられている。例えば、本実施形態のフィン21には、上下が嵌合部21aで区画される領域の前端部及び後端部にスペーサ22を設けているが、スペーサ22を設ける位置や個数は適宜変更することができる。
FIG. 6 is a view showing spacers and cut-and-raised holes formed in the fins of the heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a side view of the main part of the fin, and (b) is a main part of the fin. (C) is AA sectional drawing of a spacer, (d) is a principal part front view of a fin.
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, spacers are formed on the fins 21 by cutting and raising a part of the fins 21 in order to properly maintain the interval between adjacent fins 21 (for example, 1 mm to several mm). 22 is provided. For example, the fins 21 of the present embodiment are provided with the spacers 22 at the front end and the rear end of the region where the upper and lower portions are partitioned by the fitting portions 21a, but the position and number of the spacers 22 may be changed as appropriate. Can do.

スペーサ22は、その先端面が隣り合うフィン21の表面に当接することで、フィン21同士の間隔を適正に保つことができる。一方、スペーサ22が隣接するフィン21の切り起こし孔23に嵌り込んだ場合、フィン21同士の間隔を適正に保つことができないだけでなく、その後の修正に手間がかかるため、切り起こし孔23に対するスペーサ22の嵌り込みを防止することが要求される。   The spacer 22 can keep the space | interval of fins 21 appropriate because the front-end | tip surface contact | abuts the surface of the fin 21 which adjoins. On the other hand, when the spacer 22 is fitted into the cut-and-raised hole 23 of the adjacent fin 21, not only cannot the gap between the fins 21 be maintained properly, but also the subsequent correction takes time, so It is required to prevent the spacer 22 from being fitted.

図6に示すように、本実施形態のスペーサ22は、スペーサ22の根元側の第1辺22a(幅寸法W1)と、スペーサ22の先端側の第1辺22aよりも長い第2辺22b(幅寸法W2)と、第1辺22aの端点と第2辺22bの端点とを結ぶ向かい合った側辺を有し、前記側辺は前記第1辺の端点と前記第2辺の端点を結ぶ仮想直線Lよりも内側にある辺である。例えば、本実施形態の側辺22cは、第1辺22aの端点から垂直に立ち上がる第1側辺22dと、第1側辺22dの先端から外側方に向かって傾斜して延在し、第2辺22bの端点に至る第2側辺22eと、を備えて構成される。   As shown in FIG. 6, the spacer 22 of the present embodiment includes a first side 22 a (width dimension W <b> 1) on the base side of the spacer 22 and a second side 22 b (longer than the first side 22 a on the tip side of the spacer 22). Width dimension W2) and opposite side edges connecting the end point of the first side 22a and the end point of the second side 22b, and the side side is an imaginary point connecting the end point of the first side and the end point of the second side The side is inside the straight line L. For example, the side 22c of the present embodiment extends from the end of the first side 22a perpendicularly from the end of the first side 22a, and extends from the tip of the first side 22d so as to incline outward. And a second side 22e that reaches the end point of the side 22b.

このようなスペーサ22によれば、従来のような逆台形状のスペーサに比べ、スペーサ22の先端幅W2を維持しつつ、先端幅W2に平行な切り起こし孔23の中間部24の幅W3を小さくすることができる。これにより、スペーサ22が隣接するフィン21の切り起こし孔23に嵌り込む可能性を大幅に低減することができる。また、スペーサ22によれば、従来のような逆台形状のスペーサに比べ、スペーサ22の面積を小さくできるので、フィン21間を通過する風の抵抗も小さくすることが可能になる。   According to such a spacer 22, the width W3 of the intermediate portion 24 of the cut-and-raised hole 23 parallel to the tip width W2 is maintained while maintaining the tip width W2 of the spacer 22 as compared with the conventional inverted trapezoidal spacer. Can be small. Thereby, the possibility that the spacer 22 fits into the cut-and-raised hole 23 of the adjacent fin 21 can be greatly reduced. Further, according to the spacer 22, since the area of the spacer 22 can be reduced as compared with the conventional inverted trapezoidal spacer, the resistance of wind passing between the fins 21 can also be reduced.

スペーサ22は、側辺22cが仮想直線Lの内側にあることが好ましい。このようなスペーサ22によれば、逆台形状を基準形状とし、第1辺22aと第2辺22bの間における幅W3が絞られた形状のスペーサ22及び切り起こし孔23が得られるので、スペーサ22としての機能や強度を維持しつつ、隣接するフィン21の切り起こし孔23に対する嵌り込みを抑制できる。   It is preferable that the side 22c of the spacer 22 is inside the virtual straight line L. According to such a spacer 22, since the inverted trapezoidal shape is used as a reference shape, the spacer 22 and the cut-and-raised hole 23 having a narrowed width W3 between the first side 22a and the second side 22b are obtained. While maintaining the function and strength as 22, the fitting of the adjacent fins 21 into the cut-and-raised holes 23 can be suppressed.

以上に述べた本発明の実施形態によれば、熱交換器5であって、冷媒が流通する扁平管19と、扁平管19を嵌合する嵌合部21aを有し、扁平管19と交差する方向に延在するフィン21と、フィン21の一部を切り起こして形成されるスペーサ22と、を備え、スペーサ22は、スペーサ22の根元側の第1辺22aと、スペーサの先端側の第1辺22aよりも長い第2辺22bと、第1辺22aの端点と第2辺22bの端点とを結ぶ向かい合った側辺22cを有し、側辺22cは第1辺22aの端点と第2辺22bの端点を結ぶ仮想直線Lよりも内側にある辺であるので、逆台形状のスペーサに比べ、スペーサ22の先端幅W2を維持しつつ、切り起こし孔23の中間部24の幅W3を小さくでき、その結果、スペーサ22が隣接するフィン21の切り起こし孔23に嵌り込む可能性を大幅に低減し、組立性を向上させることができる。また、このようなスペーサ22は、逆台形状のスペーサに比べ、スペーサ22の面積を小さくできるので、フィン21間を通過する風の抵抗も小さくすることができる。   According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the heat exchanger 5 includes the flat tube 19 through which the refrigerant flows, and the fitting portion 21a into which the flat tube 19 is fitted, and intersects the flat tube 19. And a spacer 22 formed by cutting and raising a part of the fin 21, and the spacer 22 includes a first side 22a on the base side of the spacer 22 and a tip side of the spacer. The second side 22b that is longer than the first side 22a, and the opposite side 22c that connects the end point of the first side 22a and the end point of the second side 22b, and the side 22c is connected to the end of the first side 22a. Since the side is inside the virtual straight line L connecting the end points of the two sides 22b, the width W3 of the intermediate portion 24 of the cut-and-raised hole 23 is maintained while maintaining the tip width W2 of the spacer 22 as compared with the inverted trapezoidal spacer. As a result, the spacers 22 are adjacent to each other. Significantly reduces the likelihood that fits into the cut-and-raised hole 23 of the fin 21, thereby improving the assemblability. In addition, such a spacer 22 can reduce the area of the spacer 22 as compared with the inverted trapezoidal spacer, so that the resistance of wind passing between the fins 21 can also be reduced.

また、スペーサ22は、側辺22cが仮想直線Lの内側にあるので、台形状を基準形状とし、第1辺22aと第2辺22bの間における幅W3が絞られた形状のスペーサ22及び切り起こし孔23が得られ、その結果、スペーサ22としての機能や強度を維持しつつ、隣接するフィン21の切り起こし孔23に対する嵌り込みを抑制することができる。   Further, since the side 22c is inside the virtual straight line L, the spacer 22 has a trapezoidal shape as a reference shape, and the spacer 22 having a shape in which the width W3 between the first side 22a and the second side 22b is narrowed. The raised holes 23 are obtained, and as a result, the fitting of the adjacent fins 21 into the cut and raised holes 23 can be suppressed while maintaining the function and strength as the spacers 22.

[変形例]
つぎに、スペーサ22の変形例について、図7を参照して説明する。ただし、前記実施形態と共通する部分は、前記実施形態と同じ符号を用いることにより、前記実施形態の説明を援用する。
[Modification]
Next, a modified example of the spacer 22 will be described with reference to FIG. However, the description of the embodiment is incorporated by using the same reference numerals as those in the embodiment for portions common to the embodiment.

図7は、変形例に係るスペーサを示す図であり、(a)は第1変形例に係るスペーサの正面図、(b)は第2変形例に係るスペーサの正面図である。
図7に示すように、変形例に係るスペーサ22B、22Cは、側辺22f、22gが凹状の折曲線又は湾曲線から形成される点が前記実施形態のスペーサ22と相違している。例えば、変形例1に係るスペーサ22Bの側辺22fは、第1辺22aの端点から内側方に向けて傾斜して立ち上がる第1側辺22hと、第1側辺22hの先端から第2辺22bに向かって垂直方向に延在する第2側辺22iと、第2側辺22iの先端から外側方に向けて傾斜して延在し、第2辺22bの端点に至る第3側辺22jと、を備えている。また、変形例2に係るスペーサ22Cでは、変形例1に係るスペーサ22Bの側辺22fと実質的に同等の側辺22gを湾曲辺により実現している。
7A and 7B are diagrams showing a spacer according to a modified example, in which FIG. 7A is a front view of the spacer according to the first modified example, and FIG. 7B is a front view of the spacer according to the second modified example.
As shown in FIG. 7, the spacers 22B and 22C according to the modification are different from the spacer 22 of the above-described embodiment in that the side sides 22f and 22g are formed from concave folding lines or curved lines. For example, the side 22f of the spacer 22B according to Modification 1 includes a first side 22h that rises inward from the end of the first side 22a, and a second side 22b from the tip of the first side 22h. A second side 22i extending in the vertical direction toward the second side, a third side 22j extending obliquely outward from the tip of the second side 22i, and reaching the end point of the second side 22b, It is equipped with. Further, in the spacer 22C according to the second modification, the side 22g substantially equivalent to the side 22f of the spacer 22B according to the first modification is realized by the curved side.

このような変形例によれば、第1辺22aと第2辺22bの間における幅(幅寸法W3)が第1辺22a(幅寸法W1)よりも短い部分を有するスペーサ22B、22Cや切り起こし孔(図示せず)が得られるので、スペーサ22B、22Cが隣り合うフィン21の切り起こし孔23に嵌り込む可能性をさらに低減させることができるだけでなく、風の流れを垂直に受けるスペーサの面積を小さくできるので、フィン21間を通過する風の抵抗もさらに小さくすることができる。なお、第1辺22aと第2辺22bの間における根元部(幅寸法W1)よりも短い幅W3の部分を第2辺22b側に位置させることで、根元部よりも絞られた幅W3の部分が第1辺側まで位置するスペーサ(切り起こし孔)が得られるので、スペーサが隣り合うフィンの切り起こし孔に嵌り込む可能性をさらに低減させることができるだけでなく、フィン間を通過する風の抵抗もさらに小さくすることができる。   According to such a modified example, the spacers 22B and 22C having a width (width dimension W3) between the first side 22a and the second side 22b shorter than the first side 22a (width dimension W1) or the cut and raised portions. Since a hole (not shown) is obtained, not only can the possibility of the spacers 22B and 22C fitting into the cut-and-raised hole 23 of the adjacent fin 21 can be further reduced, but also the area of the spacer that receives the wind flow vertically. Therefore, the resistance of wind passing between the fins 21 can be further reduced. In addition, the part of the width W3 shorter than the base part (width dimension W1) between the first side 22a and the second side 22b is positioned on the second side 22b side, so that the width W3 is narrower than the base part. Since a spacer (cut-and-raised hole) in which the portion is located up to the first side is obtained, not only can the possibility that the spacer fits into the cut-and-raised hole of the adjacent fin can be further reduced, but also the wind passing between the fins The resistance can be further reduced.
