Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Stirling refrigerator, particularly to a free-piston type Stirling refrigerator in which an electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism and a compression chamber are positioned comparatively close to each other.
  • stator of the driving unit comprising a laminated core and an electromagnetic coil.
  • the displacer starts reciprocating with a predetermined phase difference relative to the piston.
  • the compression chamber provided between the piston and the displacer, is brought into a high temperature state while the expansion chamber, located on the other side of the compression chamber across the displacer, is brought into a low-temperature state.
  • the refrigerator is thus capable of cooling a cooling target.
  • a heat is generated in the compression chamber, it needs to be cooled.
  • Casings for such Stirling refrigerators are generally formed of a comparatively thick stainless steel material.
  • One of the reasons for employing such material is because it is necessary to make a leakage of helium less likely to occur since helium is often used as an operating gas encapsulated in the casing of such Stirling refrigerator and helium is the nearest to the ideal gas and prone to be leaked.
  • Other reasons therefor are because the casing needs to be manufactured from a metal capable of withstanding a high pressure as an operating gas is encapsulated therein at a high pressure; and stainless steel is relatively inexpensive and has an excellent workability and corrosion resistance.
  • Such Stirling refrigerators generate heat not only in a compression chamber but also in an electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism.
  • the heat generated in the electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism originates from Joule heat (or copper loss) caused by an electric current flowing through the electromagnetic coil, as well as a loss at a laminated core (or iron loss).
  • Joule heat or copper loss
  • a loss at a laminated core or iron loss
  • the casing is generally formed of a stainless steel material not so high in thermal conductivity. For this reason, and along with the material being comparatively thick, there have been concerns about the electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism being unable to be cooled down to the full extent. This problem has been a main factor hindering the improvement of the cooling capacity of Stirling refrigerators.

  • the casing is partially formed with a heat-conduction block formed of a metal exhibiting high thermal conductivity, and the heat-conduction block is thermally in contact with the mount.
  • a second aspect of the present invention is a Stirling refrigerator as set forth in the first aspect wherein the heat-conduction block is provided on the outside of the compression chamber defined between the piston and the displacer.
  • a third aspect of the present invention is a Stirling refrigerator as set forth in the second aspect wherein on the body portion is formed at least one through-hole through which a heat pipe or thermosiphon is inserted into the body portion, and a gap provided between the through-hole and the heat pipe or thermosiphon is sealed.
  • a heat generated at the stator of the electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism is allowed to be released to the outside of the casing through the mount and the heat-conduction block 4 that are formed of a metal having a high thermal conductivity.
  • the electromagnetic reciprocating drive mechanism can be fully cooled, thus enhancing the cooling capacity of the Stirling refrigerator.
  • the heat-conduction block is provided on the outside of the compression chamber defined between the piston and the displacer, whereby a heat generated in the compression chamber can also be released through the heat-conduction block at the same time.
  • the body portion is formed at least one through-hole through which a heat pipe or a thermosiphon is inserted into the body portion, while a gap between the through-hole and the heat pipe (or thermosiphon) is sealed.
