[0024] Figure 2 is a schematic view of a refrigeration structure
[0025] Figure 3 is a schematic view of a mover structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments:
[0027] Embodiment 1:
[0028] A cold head structure, as shown in Figure 1 The cold head structure comprises a cold head shell 1-1, a piston cylinder 1-2 fixedly connected in the hollowed part at the bottom of the cold head shell 1-1, and a passage 1-4 between the piston cylinder 1-2 and the cold head shell 1-1, which serves as a gas passage with a gap of 5 mm.
[0029] It is worth noting that the hollowed part at the connecting end of the piston cylinder 1-2 and the cold head shell 1-1 is a lateral hollowed part, which forms a lateral flow passage for the gas.
[0030] Continuing to refer to the accompanying Figure 1 The top of the piston cylinder 1-2 is an open structure without internal contact, and is provided with an expansion piston head 1-5. The gap is smaller than that of the passage 1-4.
[0031] The gas passage forms a circulating effect of in-out.
[0032] The expansion piston head 1-5 is sealed at the top and is connected in parallel with at least two expansion piston springs 1-6 at the bottom, which are two in this embodiment. The expansion piston springs 1-6 are fixed to the inner wall of the piston cylinder, and a cold head connecting rod 1-7 is fixed in the center of the expansion piston springs 1-6. The cold head connecting rod 1-7 is connected to the expansion piston head at the top and is fixed to a hollowed connecting part 1-8 at the bottom side of the cold head shell 1-1 at the center position.
[0033] That is, the cold head connecting rod is fixed, and the piston is driven to push the flow of the gas by the power structure cooperating with the expansion piston springs, forming a reciprocating motion. Unlike the traditional structure in which the connecting rod drives the reciprocating motion, the length of the reciprocating contact is shorter, and the frictional effect is smaller, so that the refrigeration effect is more optimal.
[0034] Further, the cold head shell 1-1 is provided with a heat dissipation fin 1-9 at the bottom side, and a cold end 1-10 is provided at the top side, preferably made of red copper.
[0035] Embodiment 2:
[0036] This embodiment is a cold end structure, which is applied to the cold end structure in Embodiment 1.
[0037] Specifically, the cold end structure is connected to the mover structure 100 through the connecting end 1-11 at the bottom side. The mover structure 100 is provided with the cold end structure on one side or on both sides. In this embodiment, the cold end structure is provided on both sides.
[0038] Continuing to refer to the accompanying Figure 2 The mover structure comprises a mover shell 1, which is provided with a heat dissipation structure, which can be a heat dissipation fin, for heat dissipation of the mover structure.
[0039] The inner structure is provided with a fixed support 2 inside the mover shell 1, which is a support structure of the whole mover interior, and a power cavity 21 is arranged in the middle of the fixed support 2.
[0040] The power cavity 21 is provided with a power assembly 22, and the power assembly 22 is connected to the power piston head 3 on one side or on both sides through a through connecting rod 221.
[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 221 is connected to the power piston head 3 on both sides, that is, a double-sided cold head can be formed, and double-sided refrigeration is realized.
[0042] Continue to refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The power assembly 22 includes a coil 222 arranged in the power cavity 21, and further includes a magnet 223 arranged inside the coil 222 and connected through the connecting rod 221, and the magnet 223 reciprocates in the power cavity 21.
[0043] Therefore, the connecting rod 221 can reciprocate in the whole fixed support 2, specifically, the connecting rod 221 penetrates the through hole arranged on the upper and lower sides of the power cavity, and the inside of the power cavity is a power source, that is, the coil drives the magnet to move.
[0044] Under the driving of the connecting rod 221, the power piston head 3 arranged in the cylinder sleeve 4 fixed inside the fixed support 2 also moves, and the connecting rod 221 is fixed with the reed 5 on the bottom side of the cylinder sleeve 4, specifically, the center point is fixed, and the both sides are connected, so that the power piston head 3 connected on both sides reciprocates in the cylinder sleeve.
[0045] When arranged on one side, the side without the cylinder sleeve is also fixed with the reed 5, which is fixed on the fixed support, and is used for auxiliary positioning and reciprocating movement of the connecting rod, and the power shell is closed on this side.
[0046] It is worth noting that the power piston head 3 and the connecting rod 221 are fixed through the bolt 7.
[0047] Continue to refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The mover shell 1 is provided with a connecting port 6 on one side or on both sides, which is provided on both sides in this embodiment, and is an external fixed end, which is used for connection with the cold head end, that is, the expansion piston end.
[0048] The whole mover shell is provided with 3.5MPa helium.
[0049] In the working mechanism of the structure, when the power piston head is driven by the coil to move towards the cold head, the reciprocating movement is realized in cooperation with the bidirectional reed, when the power piston head moves towards the cold head, the gas at the cold head part moves outward through upward, downward between the expansion piston and the cylinder body, to form a cycle, at this time, the expansion piston and the power piston head move relatively.
[0050] Therefore, the refrigeration structure has small overall noise, the mover part is separated, the double cold end effect is formed, the refrigeration structure does not need to be coaxially arranged with the shaft rod of the expansion piston, and the overall performance is better
[0051] In summary, the cold head structure of the scheme is fixed through the connecting rod, reciprocating motion of the piston is realized through the reciprocating of the elastic sheet, the overall structure is independent, the refrigeration effect is guaranteed, the volume is reduced, and the integration is higher.
[0052] In the refrigeration structure, the cold head of the thermoacoustic compressor is separated from the mover part, the double cold end effect is formed, the refrigeration structure does not need to be coaxially arranged with the shaft rod of the expansion piston, the volume is small, double refrigeration is formed, the overall performance is better, and the selectivity is high.
