Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature refrigerators, and in particular to a high-specific-heat displacement piston capable of improving the heat exchange capacity of a refrigerator, a preparation method thereof, and a cold storage refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Cold storage refrigerators include, for example, GM refrigerators and Stirling refrigerators. These refrigerators have a cylinder body and a push piston that reciprocates inside the cylinder body. During the design process, if the high-temperature airflow at the hot end of the piston does not pass through the cold storage material for heat exchange, and directly leaks from the gap between the piston and the cylinder to the low-temperature side, it will cause a loss of cooling capacity in the refrigerator. To avoid the above problems, spiral grooves or gas labyrinth seals are usually processed on the outer circumference of the piston. Specifically, if Figure 1 The spiral groove structure shown in Figure 1 The piston cylinder 121 shown in A is made of stainless steel to ensure that the shrinkage rate is consistent with the cylinder at low temperatures, and the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121 is covered with Figure 1 The resin layer 122 shown in B is made of a wear-resistant resin material, and the thickness of the resin layer 122 is generally not more than 0.5 mm. During the reciprocating movement of the piston, the piston can be prevented from scratching the inner wall of the cylinder. At the same time, a spiral groove is machined along the outer circumference of the resin layer 122, and the depth of the spiral groove is ensured to penetrate the resin layer 122. Further, when turning the spiral groove, part of the stainless steel base material on the outer circumference of the piston cylinder 121 is turned off, so that the stainless steel material of the piston cylinder 121 is exposed ( Figure 1 C). In this way, firstly, compared with the case where the gas flows parallel to the cylinder axis, the gas flow path of the gap leakage between the cylinder and the piston is increased, so that the leaked gas and the outer peripheral surface of the piston can exchange heat more fully; secondly, compared with the resin material, the volume specific heat and thermal conductivity of the stainless steel cylinder are greater. During the intake process, the temperature corresponding to the cylinder cooling the refrigerant gas and the temperature corresponding to the cylinder heating the refrigerant gas during the exhaust process, the difference between these two temperatures is relatively smaller, that is, within one cycle, the temperature change of the cylinder corresponding to the same position is smaller, which means that the heat exchange temperature difference is lower, the heat exchange efficiency is higher, and it is more conducive to improving the heat exchange of the leaked gas in the gap slit.

[0003] The following takes the secondary push piston 12 as an example to explain the push piston provided in the prior art in detail. For a two-stage refrigerator, the secondary push piston 12 is in a low temperature condition as a whole and cannot be sealed by a sealing ring. A spiral groove or labyrinth seal is usually used. Figure 1 Combined with Figure 7For explanation. The piston cylinder 121 is made of stainless steel to be consistent with the material of the cylinder 13, so as to ensure that the shrinkage rates of the two are the same at low temperatures. The outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121 is covered with a resin layer 122 made of a wear-resistant resin material. The wear-resistant resin material is usually polytetrafluoroethylene, which has an extremely low friction coefficient and wear resistance. During the long-term movement of the piston, it can be ensured that the gap size between the outer periphery of the secondary push piston 12 and the inner periphery of the secondary cylinder 132 does not change significantly. In order to improve the performance of the refrigerator, on the basis of the above-mentioned technology, a spiral groove 123 is spirally turned along the outer peripheral surface of the secondary push piston 12 and along the axial extension direction of the secondary push piston 12. The depth of the spiral groove 123 must penetrate the thickness of the resin layer 122. Further, when turning the spiral groove 123, part of the stainless steel substrate on the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the piston cylinder 121 must be turned off to allow the wall to more effectively exchange heat with the gas. By the above method, the back of the spiral groove 123 on the outer peripheral surface of the secondary push piston 12 is covered with a resin layer 122, and the bottom is made of stainless steel. At this time, compared with the tiny slit between the secondary cylinder body 132 and the secondary push piston 12, the spiral groove 123 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121 has a lower flow resistance. In addition to the refrigerant gas flowing through the secondary cold storage material 12c, the part will flow in the spiral longer flow path forming the spiral groove 123, and exchange heat with the stainless steel material with a larger volume specific heat and heat transfer coefficient than the resin material, gradually reducing the incoming high-temperature airflow, preventing the high-temperature gas from directly entering the secondary expansion chamber 10, so this can suppress the decline in refrigeration capacity, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency of the GM refrigerator. When it is above the 50K temperature range, the stainless steel material has a larger volume specific heat and can be made into a wire mesh for use as the primary cold storage material 11c. However, when the temperature drops below 50K, the volume specific heat of stainless steel decreases sharply, while the volume specific heat of the refrigerant helium gradually increases, reaching a peak near the 10K temperature range. Since the volume specific heat of stainless steel is small at low temperatures, the specific heat capacity per unit volume at the same height position on the cylinder wall is not enough to cool or heat the gas, which will increase the temperature difference at the same position on the cylinder wall within a cycle, that is, the heat exchange temperature difference increases, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency, and there may be insufficient heat exchange between the airflow from the gap between the cylinder and the piston and the wall of the piston cylinder 121. Therefore, in the lower temperature range, the piston cylinder 121 made of stainless steel is not conducive to the heat exchange of the gas in the gap slit. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] like Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a high specific heat push piston includes a piston cylinder 121, and a resin layer 122 made of wear-resistant resin material is covered on the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121 opposite to the cylinder 13; a groove 123a is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121, and the groove 123a is a spiral or labyrinth-shaped groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121, and the bottom of the recessed area formed by the groove 123a is covered with a groove-coating material layer 124 of a material different from that of the piston cylinder 121, and below the 50K temperature range, the volume specific heat of the material used in the groove-coating material layer 124 is greater than the volume specific heat of the material used in the piston cylinder 121. Another solution is: the entire recessed area formed by the groove 123a is covered with a groove-coating material layer 124 of a material different from that of the piston cylinder 121. The piston cylinder 121 is made of stainless steel, and the material used for the groove coating material layer 124 is at least one of zinc, tin, and bismuth, or one of the corresponding alloy materials of tin, zinc, and bismuth; or the material used for the groove coating material layer 124 is a magnetic material, and the volume specific heat of the magnetic material below the 50K temperature range is greater than the volume specific heat of the piston cylinder 121 material, and the material used for the groove coating material layer 124 is holmium copper. In addition, when the groove coating material layer 124 covering 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the length of the groove 123a on the piston cylinder 121 is at least one of zinc, tin, and bismuth, or one of the corresponding alloy materials of tin, zinc, and bismuth; the material used for the groove coating material layer 124 covering the remaining 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the length of the groove 123a on the piston cylinder 121 is holmium copper. Or when there are grooves 123a and spiral grooves or labyrinth grooves 123 on the outer circumferential surface of the piston cylinder 121, and the length of the groove 123a accounts for 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the total length of the groove 123a and the spiral grooves or labyrinth grooves 123, the material used for the groove covering material layer 124 covered by the groove 123a is at least one of zinc, tin, and bismuth, or one of the corresponding alloy materials of tin, zinc, and bismuth.

[0048] When the above-mentioned high specific heat push piston includes a primary push piston 11 and a secondary push piston 12 , the groove 123 a is located on the piston cylinder 121 of the secondary push piston 12 .

[0049] A cold storage refrigerator using the high specific heat push piston, the cold storage refrigerator includes the high specific heat push piston, and the high specific heat push piston is installed in the cylinder 13 of the low temperature refrigerator. When the cold storage refrigerator uses a single-stage cylinder 13, the high specific heat push piston is installed in the cylinder 13; and when the cold storage refrigerator is a single-stage refrigerator with a temperature of 20K to 30K, the material used for the covering material layer 122 of the piston cylinder 121 of the high specific heat push piston in the 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 length area close to the low temperature side is at least one of zinc, tin, and bismuth, or one of the corresponding alloy materials of tin, zinc, and bismuth. When the cold storage refrigerator uses a multi-stage cylinder 13, the high specific heat push piston is installed in the cylinder 13 after the primary cylinder 13; and when the cold storage refrigerator uses a two-stage cylinder 13, the high specific heat push piston is a secondary push piston 12 installed in the secondary cylinder 132. Further, when the cold storage refrigerator is a two-stage refrigerator of 4.2K to 10K, the groove coating material layer 124 covered by the groove 123a of 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 length on the piston cylinder 121 of the secondary push piston 12 is made of at least one of zinc, tin, and bismuth, or one of the alloy materials corresponding to tin, zinc, and bismuth; the groove coating material layer 124 covered by the groove 123a of the remaining 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 length on the piston cylinder 121 of the secondary push piston 12 is made of holmium copper. The cold storage refrigerator is any type of refrigerator with a reciprocating push piston, not limited to Gifford-McMahon refrigerator, Solvang refrigerator, pulse tube refrigerator, etc.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown: the cold storage refrigeration machine comprises a compressor 1, a cover assembly 2, a gas pipeline 3, a cylinder 13, a primary push piston 11, and a secondary push piston 12. The compressor 1 inhales and compresses the refrigerant gas, and discharges it as high-pressure refrigerant gas. The gas pipeline 3 supplies the high-pressure refrigerant gas to the cover assembly 2. The cylinder 13 is a two-stage cylinder, the main body of which is made of 304 stainless steel, the primary cylinder 131 and the secondary cylinder 132 are coaxially arranged, and the inner diameter of the secondary cylinder 132 is smaller than the inner diameter of the primary cylinder 131; a primary heat exchanger 13a is welded on the end (cold end) of the primary cylinder 131 away from the cover assembly 2, and a secondary heat exchanger 13b is welded on the end (cold end) of the secondary cylinder 132 away from the cover assembly 2, and the above heat exchangers are all made of copper. The first-stage cylinder 131 is provided with a first-stage push piston 11, and the second-stage cylinder 132 is provided with a second-stage push piston 12. The first-stage push piston 11 and the second-stage push piston 12 are coaxially connected. Figure 7 The secondary push piston 12 moves in the cylinder 13 along the direction Z1 to Z2. Figure 7If the refrigerant moves in the middle and upper part (Z1 direction), the volume of the primary expansion chamber 9 and the secondary expansion chamber 10 increases; otherwise, the corresponding expansion volume decreases. Under the change of the expansion chamber volume, the incoming refrigerant gas passes through the primary piston front hole 11a to exchange heat with the primary cold storage material 11c inside the primary push piston 11, and then flows out from the primary piston rear hole 11b to the primary expansion chamber 9; a part of the gas expands in the primary expansion chamber 9, and the remaining gas flows into the secondary push piston 12 through the secondary piston front hole 12a, exchanges heat with the secondary cold storage material 12c inside the secondary push piston 12, and then flows out from the exhaust port 12b and enters the secondary expansion chamber 10. In the above process, the refrigerant gas transfers its own heat to the cold storage material, and the temperature changes from normal temperature to low temperature. Along the above gas flow direction, that is, the Z2 direction, the temperature of the cylinder 13, the primary push piston 11, and the secondary push piston 12 continuously decreases, forming a temperature gradient.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown: the flow process of the refluxed gas is opposite to the above process. The refrigerant gas flows out from the secondary expansion chamber 10, exchanges heat with the secondary cold storage material 12c in the secondary push piston 12 through the exhaust port 12b, flows out from the front hole 12a of the secondary piston, mixes with the refrigerant gas in the primary expansion chamber 9, and then exchanges heat with the primary cold storage material 11c inside the primary push piston 11 through the rear hole 11b of the primary piston, and then enters the cover assembly 2 through the front hole 11a of the primary piston, and then flows to the low-pressure side of the compressor 1. In the above process, the refrigerant gas absorbs heat from the cold storage material and changes from low temperature to normal temperature.

[0052] By repeating the above actions, the primary cold storage material 11c, the secondary cold storage material 12c and the refrigerant gas are cooled. The low-temperature gas continuously expands and performs work in the primary expansion chamber 9 and the secondary expansion chamber 10, forming a cooling source. Through the heat transfer effect, the primary heat exchanger 13a and the secondary heat exchanger 13b are cooled.

[0053] According to different temperature zones, the secondary cold storage material 12c near the high temperature side generally uses lead, zinc, tin, and bismuth as heat exchange materials; near the low temperature side, magnetic cold storage material holmium copper is used. The selected material has a large volume specific heat in the corresponding temperature zone. During the intake and reflux process, at the same height position of the secondary push piston 12, the cold storage material can form a stable temperature. During the heat exchange with the gas, the temperature remains almost unchanged, only gradually decreasing along the axial direction. In this way, the cold storage material 12c inside the secondary push piston 12 forms a stable and continuous temperature gradient. During the intake process, the airflow is cooled step by step by the cold storage material and enters the expansion chamber for expansion refrigeration; during the reflux process, the gas is heated step by step by the cold storage material, and finally enters the low-pressure chamber of the compressor to complete a cycle.

[0054] For the primary push piston 11, the piston seal ring 7 is used to seal the gap between its outer peripheral surface and the inner wall of the primary cylinder body 131 of the cylinder 13. Since the piston seal ring 7 is installed on the room temperature side, that is, close to the cover assembly 2, the temperature is moderately at a higher temperature during operation, which can effectively prevent the refrigerant gas from entering the primary expansion chamber 9 through the gap between the outer surface of the primary push piston 11 and the inner wall of the primary cylinder body 131. The temperature of the primary heat exchanger 13a is roughly in the temperature range of 40K to 80K.

[0055] Taking the secondary push piston 12 as an example, in order to improve the heat exchange effect between the flowing gas in the spiral groove 123 and the secondary push piston 12, the preparation method of the high specific heat push piston provided by the present invention is further described in detail.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, first, the cylinder piston 121 is made of stainless steel, and an appropriate margin is left on the outer diameter for later use. At the same time, a spiral groove or a labyrinth groove 123 is turned on the outer circumference of the cylinder piston 121. The structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in A.

[0057] Secondly, by electroplating, metal deposition or metal melting, a material with a volume specific heat greater than that of stainless steel below the temperature range of 50K is coated along the outer circumference of the piston cylinder 121 and filled with the corresponding spiral grooves or labyrinth grooves 123 to form a groove coating material layer 124. The structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in B, Figure 3 The dotted shaded portion in B is the groove covering material layer 124. The groove covering material layer 124 may be made of a metal with a low melting point such as zinc, tin, bismuth, or a magnetic material such as holmium copper.

[0058] Next, the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121 covered with the groove coating material layer 124 is processed by turning until the piston cylinder 121 is exposed to the position of the stainless steel substrate, that is, the concave area of ​​the spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123 is covered with the groove coating material layer 124 ( Figure 3 The dotted shaded area in C), the back of the spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123 exposes the base stainless steel part ( Figure 3 (C) The piston cylinder 121 is cylindrical in shape as a whole.

[0059] Fourth, a wear-resistant resin material is sprayed or bonded on the piston cylinder 121 as the resin layer 122. Since zinc, tin, and bismuth are low-melting-point metals and cannot withstand the high temperature of several hundred degrees during the resin powder spraying process, the resin material can be made into a pipe-shaped resin layer 122 in advance, and the whole is bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the processed piston cylinder 121 by low-temperature glue (such as Figure 3 D) to achieve; the melting point of holmium copper is 915℃, which can be directly Figure 3 The piston cylinder 121 in C is sprayed, and a resin layer 122 made of wear-resistant resin material is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the piston cylinder 121.

[0060] Finally, along the original spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123 track, a new spiral groove 123a is re-processed, and it is ensured that the depth of the new spiral groove 123a can penetrate the resin material 122; further, the depth of the new spiral groove 123a is to turn away a portion of the groove covering material layer 124 covering the original spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123, and at least a portion of the groove covering material layer 124 is retained to cover the bottom of the concave area formed by the original spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123 ( Figure 3 E); further, a portion of the groove covering material layer 124 is retained to cover the surface of the recessed area formed by the original spiral groove or labyrinth groove 123 to form a groove 123a.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the piston cylinder 121 is finally covered with a resin layer 122 made of a wear-resistant resin material, and at the same time, the recessed area formed by the groove 123a on the outer circumferential surface has a groove covering material layer 124 made of a covering material with a higher volume specific heat at least at the bottom; during the implementation process, the side wall of the groove 123a can be processed to also have the groove covering material layer 124.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic rare earth material HoCu2 or the noble metal indium can be used as the covering material. Figure 6 The structure of the labyrinth-shaped groove 123a is a labyrinth seal.

[0063] During the implementation, the thickness of the groove covering material layer 124 is selected to be between 1 μm and 1 mm according to the wall thickness of the cylinder 13. Figure 3 The wall thickness of the piston cylinder 121 corresponding to the concave part of the spiral groove 123 in A is equivalent. The thickness of the groove coating material layer 124 should not be too large, because too thick material is likely to increase axial heat leakage loss, and further, the thickness can be selected to be 200μm to 700μm, and more preferably, the thickness can be selected to be 300μm to 500μm.

[0064] It is further explained that in the implementation process of the present invention, lead (Pb) as a non-environmentally friendly material is not recommended as the covering material selected for the groove covering material layer 124 in the present invention.

[0065] Further explanation, for the two-stage refrigerator of 4.2K~10K. Figure 3The structure of B is prepared by the following measures: the covering material of the piston cylinder 121 in the area of ​​1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the length from the high-temperature side is prepared with one of zinc, tin and bismuth to prepare the groove covering material layer 124; the covering material in the area of ​​1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the length from the low-temperature side is prepared with holmium copper to prepare the groove covering material layer 124.

[0066] Further explanation, for a single-stage refrigerator with a temperature of 20K to 30K. Figure 3 The structure of B is prepared by the following measures: the covering material of the piston cylinder 121 in the 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 length area close to the low temperature side is prepared with one of zinc, tin and bismuth to prepare the groove coating material layer 124; the remaining length area of ​​the piston cylinder 121 close to the hot end has a higher temperature, and the volume specific heat of stainless steel is large, so the helium can be fully cooled or heated, and other materials do not need to be covered.

[0067] The high specific heat push piston of the present invention selects a metal material with a large volume specific heat below the 50K temperature zone as the covering material to prepare the groove coating material layer 124, which can improve the volume heat exchange capacity of the outer peripheral surface of the push piston, so that during the heat exchange with the airflow flowing in and out of the gap, its own temperature can remain stable, which can reduce the temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing gases, and ensure that when the gas leaked in the narrow gap between the cylinder and the push piston passes through the groove 123a, the heat exchange between the airflow and the wall surface is more stable and reliable; that is, the wall volume specific heat of the piston cylinder 121 is increased, the heat exchange capacity for the leaked gas in the gap is enhanced, and the performance of the refrigerator is improved.

[0068] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention; any technology not involved in the present invention can be realized by existing technologies.
