Description
本発明はパルス管冷凍機に関し、特に、放熱器に熱交換器と蓄冷器をロウ付け接合したパルス管冷凍機に関する。 The present invention relates to a pulse tube refrigerator, and more particularly to a pulse tube refrigerator in which a heat exchanger and a regenerator are brazed to a radiator.
液体窒素温度のような極低温を発生する小型の極低温冷凍機としては、パルス管冷凍機等がよく知られている。
図13は従来のリターン型パルス管冷凍機の構成図である。パルス管冷凍機は、圧縮機710、放熱器720、蓄冷器740、コールドヘッド750、パルス管760および位相制御機構770から構成されており、これの冷凍作用発生原理は以下の通りに理解されている。
A pulse tube refrigerator or the like is well known as a small cryogenic refrigerator that generates an extremely low temperature such as liquid nitrogen temperature.
FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a conventional return type pulse tube refrigerator. The pulse tube refrigerator is composed of a compressor 710, a radiator 720, a regenerator 740, a cold head 750, a pulse tube 760, and a phase control mechanism 770, and the principle of generating the refrigeration action is understood as follows. Yes.
この冷凍機の内部に封入されている作動ガス(例えばヘリウムガス)は、所定の周波数で往復運動する圧縮機710によって繰り返し圧縮と膨張が行われる。まず、圧縮機710の圧縮過程によって圧縮熱を発生した作動ガスは、放熱器720で高温側熱交換器730を介して圧縮熱を外部に放出する(断熱圧縮行程)。圧縮された作動ガスは、蓄冷器540およびコールドヘッド750を通ってパルス管760に流入する(等温行程)。パルス管760においては、作動ガスは膨張して寒冷を発生する(断熱膨張行程)。この際、位相制御機構770によって、作動ガスの圧力と流速との位相が調整される。位相制御機構770はイナータンスチューブ771とバッファータンク772とで構成されており、作動ガスはこの中をほぼ正弦波的な圧力振幅を伴って流れる。電気回路に例えると、イナータンスチューブ771はインダクタンスおよび抵抗のインピーダンス成分に相当し、バッファータンク772はキャパシタンス成分に相当する。上記のようにして発生した寒冷によりコールドヘッド750から吸熱する。次に、圧縮機710の膨張過程においては、パルス管760で冷却された作動ガスが、蓄冷器740と準静的に熱交換しながら放熱器720を通って圧縮機710に戻ってくる(等温行程)。以上の4つの工程を繰り返すことによって、コールドヘッド750は極低温まで冷却される。 The working gas (for example, helium gas) sealed in the refrigerator is repeatedly compressed and expanded by a compressor 710 that reciprocates at a predetermined frequency. First, the working gas that has generated compression heat by the compression process of the compressor 710 releases the compression heat to the outside through the high-temperature side heat exchanger 730 by the radiator 720 (adiabatic compression process). The compressed working gas flows into the pulse tube 760 through the regenerator 540 and the cold head 750 (isothermal stroke). In the pulse tube 760, the working gas expands to generate cold (adiabatic expansion process). At this time, the phase between the pressure of the working gas and the flow velocity is adjusted by the phase control mechanism 770. The phase control mechanism 770 includes an inertance tube 771 and a buffer tank 772, and the working gas flows therethrough with a substantially sinusoidal pressure amplitude. In an electric circuit, inertance tube 771 corresponds to an impedance component of inductance and resistance, and buffer tank 772 corresponds to a capacitance component. Heat is absorbed from the cold head 750 by the cold generated as described above. Next, in the expansion process of the compressor 710, the working gas cooled by the pulse tube 760 returns to the compressor 710 through the radiator 720 while performing quasi-static heat exchange with the regenerator 740 (isothermal). Process). By repeating the above four steps, the cold head 750 is cooled to a very low temperature.
高温側熱交換器730は、円柱形状を有しており、作動ガスの流路として軸方向に多数の貫通孔を設けている。なお、材料は熱伝導性が高い銅が主に用いられる。蓄冷器740は、薄肉パイプからなる蓄冷管741に、金属メッシュや微細な金属球からなる蓄冷材742を内部に装填することにより構成されている。なお、蓄冷管741はコールドヘッド750への熱抵抗を大きくしたいため、材料として熱伝導率の低いステンレスが主に用いられている。 The high temperature side heat exchanger 730 has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a large number of through holes in the axial direction as a flow path for the working gas. The material is mainly copper having high thermal conductivity. The regenerator 740 is configured by loading a regenerator material 742 made of a metal mesh or fine metal balls into a regenerator tube 741 made of a thin-walled pipe. Since the regenerator tube 741 is intended to increase the thermal resistance to the cold head 750, stainless steel having a low thermal conductivity is mainly used as a material.
放熱器720、蓄冷器740、コールドヘッド750、パルス管760の接合には、異材質接合や熱抵抗低減および作動ガスの気密性確保の観点からロウ付けが多く用いられている。図13および図14において太線で記載された部分がロウ付けにより接合されている部分である。ロウ付けの種類は、材質に銅を使用している部分があるため、酸化防止を目的として真空雰囲気ロウ付けが用いられている。 For joining the radiator 720, the regenerator 740, the cold head 750, and the pulse tube 760, brazing is often used from the viewpoint of joining different materials, reducing thermal resistance, and ensuring airtightness of the working gas. In FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, a portion indicated by a thick line is a portion joined by brazing. Since there is a part using copper as a material for brazing, vacuum atmosphere brazing is used for the purpose of preventing oxidation.
特に、高温側熱交換器730と放熱器720との接触界面における接合は熱抵抗の低減、接合強度および作動ガスの気密性確保が重要となる。
図14は、図13に示すB部の拡大図である。また、図15は、ロウ付け前の図13に示すB部の拡大図である。
図15に示すように、放熱器720には、ワイヤー状のロウ材722を設置しておくための溝721と、蓄冷器740と高温側熱交換器730との境界近傍にロウ溜り溝723と、が形成されている。ロウ溜り溝723は、真空炉内で溶融したロウ材が毛細管現象により境界面に流れ出した際に、蓄冷器740および高温側熱交換器730の作動ガスの流路内にロウ材が侵入することを防止するために設けられている。よって、適切なロウ付け処理がなされると、図14の太線部分がロウ付けにより接合されることとなる。
In particular, for the bonding at the contact interface between the high temperature side heat exchanger 730 and the radiator 720, it is important to reduce the thermal resistance, ensure the bonding strength, and ensure the airtightness of the working gas.
FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of a portion B shown in FIG. FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of a portion B shown in FIG. 13 before brazing.
As shown in FIG. 15, the radiator 720 includes a groove 721 for installing a wire-like brazing material 722, and a brazing groove 723 near the boundary between the regenerator 740 and the high temperature side heat exchanger 730. , Is formed. The brazing groove 723 allows the brazing material to enter the working gas flow paths of the regenerator 740 and the high temperature side heat exchanger 730 when the brazing material melted in the vacuum furnace flows out to the boundary surface by capillary action. It is provided to prevent this. Therefore, when an appropriate brazing process is performed, the thick line portions in FIG. 14 are joined by brazing.
この種の冷凍機における熱交換器の接合方法としては、特許文献1に記載されている。
一般的に適切なロウ付けを実施するためには、真空炉の設定温度や加熱時間などの多くの条件を調整する必要がある。この最適条件は、ロウ付け部品や炉内に設置された治具の熱容量、熱伝導率、放射率、炉内の配置位置と配置数など、複数のパラメータにより決定されるため、通常は経験や実験等により試行錯誤により決定される。
図14に示すような構造においては、設定温度が低く加熱時間が短いと、溶融ロウが高温側熱交換器730および蓄冷管741と放熱器720との接触界面に十分に流れ込まず、ロウ付けによる接合強度、熱抵抗の低減、作動ガスの密封などの機能を発揮することができない。
In general, in order to perform appropriate brazing, it is necessary to adjust many conditions such as a set temperature of a vacuum furnace and a heating time. This optimum condition is determined by multiple parameters such as the heat capacity, thermal conductivity, emissivity of the brazing parts and jigs installed in the furnace, and the position and number of placement in the furnace. Determined by trial and error through experiments and the like.
In the structure as shown in FIG. 14, when the set temperature is low and the heating time is short, the molten brazing does not sufficiently flow into the contact interface between the high temperature side heat exchanger 730 and the regenerator tube 741 and the radiator 720, which is caused by brazing. Functions such as bonding strength, reduction in thermal resistance, and sealing of working gas cannot be exhibited.
一方、設定温度が高く加熱時間が長いと、図16に示すように溶融ロウがロウ溜り溝723で止まらずに蓄冷材742や高温側熱交換器730の貫通孔まで浸入し、作動ガスの流路を塞いでしまう。このように作動ガスの流路が狭くなると冷凍機としての性能が著しく低下することとなる。
しかし、図14のように複雑な構造を有するロウ付けを実施においては、複数回の試作実験などによりロウ付けの各種条件を探索して決定しても、安定したロウ付け品質を得ることが非常に困難であるため、ロウ付け不良が発生しやすい。また、ロウ付け完了後にロウ付け品質を確認するには内部の状態を観察する必要があるが、X線検査装置等の非破壊で内部を検査可能である特殊な装置等が必要となる。
On the other hand, when the set temperature is high and the heating time is long, as shown in FIG. 16, the molten wax does not stop at the wax accumulation groove 723 and enters the cold storage material 742 and the through hole of the high temperature side heat exchanger 730, It will block the road. When the working gas flow path becomes narrow in this way, the performance as a refrigerator is significantly reduced.
However, in carrying out brazing having a complicated structure as shown in FIG. 14, it is very possible to obtain stable brazing quality even if various conditions for brazing are searched and determined by a plurality of trial experiments or the like. Therefore, brazing defects are likely to occur. Further, in order to confirm the brazing quality after the brazing is completed, it is necessary to observe the internal state, but a special apparatus capable of inspecting the inside in a non-destructive manner such as an X-ray inspection apparatus is required.
さらに、図13に示すように蓄冷器740の一部が放熱器720の内部に位置することにより、放熱器720の熱が蓄冷器740に流入しやすいため、冷却効率の低下が発生する。
そこで、本発明は上記課題に鑑み、ロウ付け時に溶融ロウが蓄冷材742や高温側熱交換器730へ浸入することを確実に防止する構造とし、高温側熱交換器730と放熱器720の接触界面における熱抵抗を低減し、容易にロウ付けの処理条件を決定可能とし、蓄冷器への熱流入を低減することにより、冷却性能が高い安定した品質を有する冷凍機を実現することを目的とする。
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, since a part of the regenerator 740 is located inside the radiator 720, the heat of the radiator 720 easily flows into the regenerator 740, resulting in a decrease in cooling efficiency.
Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention has a structure that reliably prevents molten solder from entering the cold storage material 742 and the high temperature side heat exchanger 730 during brazing, and the contact between the high temperature side heat exchanger 730 and the radiator 720. The purpose is to realize a refrigerator with high cooling performance and stable quality by reducing thermal resistance at the interface, making it possible to easily determine the brazing processing conditions, and reducing heat inflow to the regenerator. To do.

本発明では、蓄冷管の一端と高温側熱交換器とを全周溶接により接合することにより、放熱器と蓄冷器および高温側熱交換器とのロウ付けによる接合において、ロウ付け時に溶融ロウが蓄冷材や高温側熱交換器などへ浸入することを確実に防止できる。また、ロウ溜り溝を廃止できるため、高温側熱交換器と放熱本体の接触界面における熱抵抗を低減できる。ロウ付けの処理条件の決定に際しては、構造が簡単になるために試作実験などをせずとも適切なロウ付けの処理条件を決定することが可能となる。 In the present invention, one end of the regenerator tube and the high-temperature side heat exchanger are joined together by welding all around, so that in the joining by brazing between the radiator, the regenerator and the high-temperature side heat exchanger, molten brazing is performed during brazing. Intrusion into cold storage materials or high-temperature heat exchangers can be reliably prevented. In addition, since the brazing groove can be eliminated, the thermal resistance at the contact interface between the high temperature side heat exchanger and the heat radiating body can be reduced. When determining the brazing processing conditions, it is possible to determine an appropriate brazing processing condition without performing a trial experiment because the structure is simple.
また、上記に加え、蓄冷材を放熱器の外部に位置するように配置することにより、放熱器から蓄冷器への熱流入が減少し、かつ、蓄冷器の円柱軸方向の熱抵抗が増加することで高温部から低温端への流入熱量が減少し、冷却効率が向上する。 In addition to the above, by disposing the regenerator material so as to be located outside the radiator, the heat inflow from the radiator to the regenerator is reduced, and the thermal resistance in the columnar axial direction of the regenerator is increased. As a result, the amount of heat flowing from the high temperature portion to the low temperature end is reduced, and the cooling efficiency is improved.
本発明に係るパルス管冷凍機の実施形態を図1乃至図12に基づき説明する。なお、基本的な作動原理については、従来技術と同様であるため詳細な説明は省略する。
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係るパルス管冷凍機の断面図である。なお、図1はU字リターン型パルス管冷凍機に適用した場合の図である。図2は図1に記されたA部の拡大図である。図3は図1に記されたA部のロウ付け前の拡大図である。
An embodiment of a pulse tube refrigerator according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The basic operation principle is the same as that of the prior art, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a pulse tube refrigerator according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In addition, FIG. 1 is a figure at the time of applying to a U-shaped return type pulse tube refrigerator. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion A shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of portion A shown in FIG. 1 before brazing.
U字リターン型パルス管冷凍機は、圧縮機110、放熱器120、蓄冷器140、コールドヘッド150、パルス管160および位相制御機構170から構成されている。位相制御機構170はイナータンスチューブ171とバッファータンク172とで構成されている。
高温側熱交換器130は円柱形状を有し、その外径は蓄冷器の蓄冷管141の外径と等しく形成されている。高温側熱交換器130の端面と蓄冷器140の端面とを外径が一致するように突き合わせ、その境界部136を全周溶接により接合して一体ユニットとして構成している。溶接には、レーザービーム溶接や電子ビーム溶接等の熱歪の発生が少ない溶接方法を採用することが望ましい。レーザービーム溶接の場合はアルゴンやヘリウムなどのイナートガス雰囲気中で行う。なお、溶接部136が蓄冷管141の外径より大きくなった場合には、切削や研磨により蓄冷管141の外径より小さくする。また、可能であればヘリウムリーク試験を行うとより良い。
The U-shaped return type pulse tube refrigerator includes a compressor 110, a radiator 120, a regenerator 140, a cold head 150, a pulse tube 160, and a phase control mechanism 170. The phase control mechanism 170 includes an inertance tube 171 and a buffer tank 172.
The high temperature side heat exchanger 130 has a cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is formed to be equal to the outer diameter of the regenerator tube 141 of the regenerator. The end face of the high temperature side heat exchanger 130 and the end face of the regenerator 140 are abutted so that the outer diameters coincide with each other, and the boundary 136 is joined by all-around welding to constitute an integrated unit. For welding, it is desirable to employ a welding method such as laser beam welding or electron beam welding that generates less thermal distortion. Laser beam welding is performed in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon or helium. In addition, when the welding part 136 becomes larger than the outer diameter of the cool storage tube 141, it makes it smaller than the outer diameter of the cool storage tube 141 by cutting or grinding | polishing. If possible, it is better to conduct a helium leak test.
放熱器120、高温側熱交換器130、蓄冷器140、コールドヘッド150、パルス管160の接合にはロウ付けが用いられている。図において太線で記載された部分がロウ付けにより接合されている部分である。
放熱器120、高温側熱交換器130、蓄冷器140のロウ付けについて、詳細に説明する。放熱器120には高温側熱交換器130および蓄冷管141の外径と等しい穴が形成されている。さらに、ワイヤー状のロウ材122を設置しておくための溝121も形成されている。なお、ロウ溜り溝は不用である。
Brazing is used to join the radiator 120, the high temperature side heat exchanger 130, the regenerator 140, the cold head 150, and the pulse tube 160. In the figure, the part indicated by the bold line is the part joined by brazing.
The brazing of the radiator 120, the high temperature side heat exchanger 130, and the regenerator 140 will be described in detail. A hole equal to the outer diameter of the high temperature side heat exchanger 130 and the regenerator tube 141 is formed in the radiator 120. Furthermore, a groove 121 for installing a wire-like brazing material 122 is also formed. In addition, the wax accumulation groove is unnecessary.
前記の溝121にワイヤー状のロウ材122を設置して高温側熱交換器120と蓄冷管140との一体ユニットを放熱器の穴に挿入し、さらにその他の部品も組み立てた後に、真空雰囲気ロウ付けにより接合する。炉内での処理条件は、加熱時間は長めとし、加熱温度は高めとする。
本構成を採用することにより、ロウ付けの加熱時間を十分に長く、加熱温度を十分に高くすることができるため、溶融ロウが接触界面に十分に流れ込むことで、接合強度が高く、熱抵抗が小さく、作動ガスの漏れがない接合を実現できる。また、溶接部136が全周溶接されていることによって、蓄冷管141と高温側熱交換器130の境界面は完全に封鎖されており、溶融ロウが蓄冷材142や高温側熱交換器の貫通孔に達することはなく、作動ガスの流路を塞いでしまうことはない。さらに、ロウ溜り溝を不要としたことで、高温側熱交換器130と放熱器120の接触界面が増加するため、接触界面における熱抵抗が低減される。
A wire-shaped brazing material 122 is installed in the groove 121, an integrated unit of the high-temperature side heat exchanger 120 and the regenerator tube 140 is inserted into the hole of the radiator, and other components are assembled. Join by attaching. The processing conditions in the furnace are that the heating time is longer and the heating temperature is higher.
By adopting this configuration, the brazing heating time can be made sufficiently long and the heating temperature can be made sufficiently high, so that the molten brazing sufficiently flows into the contact interface, resulting in high bonding strength and low thermal resistance. It is possible to realize a bonding that is small and does not leak working gas. Further, since the welded part 136 is welded all around, the boundary surface between the regenerator tube 141 and the high temperature side heat exchanger 130 is completely sealed, and the molten solder penetrates the regenerator material 142 and the high temperature side heat exchanger. It does not reach the hole and does not block the working gas flow path. Furthermore, since the wax retaining groove is not required, the contact interface between the high temperature side heat exchanger 130 and the radiator 120 is increased, so that the thermal resistance at the contact interface is reduced.
図4は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係るパルス管冷凍機の図1に記されたA部の拡大図である。図5は高温側熱交換器230の形状を記した図である。なお、貫通孔は省略してある。
第1の実施形態と第2の実施形態との差異点は、高温側熱交換器の形状と高温側熱交換器と蓄冷管との位置決め方法のみであるため、その他の部分説明は省略する。
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion A shown in FIG. 1 of the pulse tube refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the shape of the high temperature side heat exchanger 230. The through hole is omitted.
The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is only the shape of the high-temperature side heat exchanger and the positioning method of the high-temperature side heat exchanger and the regenerator tube, and the other partial explanations are omitted.
高温側熱交換器230は、蓄冷管141の外径と等しい第1の円柱部231と、蓄冷管の内径と等しい第2の円柱部232とを有している。高温側熱交換器の第2の円柱部232を蓄冷管141に挿入し、高温側熱交換器の第1の円柱部231と蓄冷管141との境界部136を全周溶接により接合して一体ユニットとして構成している。
溶接には、前記と同じようにレーザービーム溶接や電子ビーム溶接等を採用することが望ましい。また、溶接部136が蓄冷管141の外径より大きくなった場合には、切削や研磨により蓄冷管141の外径より小さくする。
The high temperature side heat exchanger 230 has a first cylindrical portion 231 equal to the outer diameter of the regenerator tube 141 and a second cylindrical portion 232 equal to the inner diameter of the regenerator tube. The second cylindrical portion 232 of the high temperature side heat exchanger is inserted into the regenerator tube 141, and the boundary portion 136 between the first cylindrical portion 231 of the high temperature side heat exchanger and the regenerator tube 141 is joined by welding all around. It is configured as a unit.
For welding, it is desirable to employ laser beam welding, electron beam welding, or the like, as described above. Moreover, when the welding part 136 becomes larger than the outer diameter of the cool storage pipe 141, it makes it smaller than the outer diameter of the cool storage pipe 141 by cutting or grinding | polishing.
上記構成により、高温側熱交換器230と蓄冷器140との溶接に際する位置決めが容易となり、かつ、蓄冷管141が高温側熱交換器230に挿入することで溶接の接合部136がモーメント加重に対して強くなる。
