[0002] The micro throttling refrigerator mainly utilizes the Joule-Thomson effect (JT) to perform refrigeration, and is widely applied to occasions with small sizes.

[0003] The heat exchange structure of the micro throttling refrigerator is mainly formed by winding heat exchange pipes outside a conical or columnar core shaft. However, the inside of the conical or columnar core shaft is a hollow structure, which causes a waste of a large space, and thus the probe with the throttling refrigerator also has a large space waste, and is difficult to be applied to complex scenes.

[0004] In the related art, various shaped grooves are machined on a plane plate to form a heat exchanger and a throttling device, and thus throttling refrigeration is realized. Such a planarized refrigerator can better meet the needs of various micro and planarized occasions.

Compared with the cylindrical or conical structure in the related art, the throttling refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application designed in a flat structure has strong impact resistance and high stability.

Compared with the cylindrical and conical structures in the related art, the throttling refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application designed in a flattened structure has strong impact resistance and high stability.

[0034] It should be noted that the heat exchange pipe is coiled in a planar shape in the cavity, that is, the heat exchange pipe is arranged to extend along a plane. Specifically, the heat exchange pipe can also be provided in multiple layers, but each layer of the heat exchange pipe extends in the same plane. In some embodiments, the heat exchange pipe is spirally coiled in the cavity. In other embodiments, the heat exchange pipe is coiled in a serpentine or curved shape in the cavity.

[0035] The disc body can be an integrated structure with an internal cavity. The disc body can also be composed of multiple sub-disc bodies to define an internal cavity.

[0036] In some embodiments, the disc body comprises a first disc body and a second disc body. The first disc body and / or the second disc body is provided with a spiral groove.

The air passage is connected to the spiral chamber. A cold plate is provided outside the air passage. The air passage and the cold plate define the expansion chamber.

[0040] In some embodiments, at least one of the first and second discs is made of an insulating material or a material with low thermal conductivity.

[0041] In other words, at least one of the first and second discs is made of heat-insulating material or at least one of the first and second discs is made of low thermal conductivity material. That is, the first and second discs can be selected as heat-insulating materials or low thermal conductivity materials as needed.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least one of the first disc and the second disc is provided with a vent hole that connects the spiral chamber to the outside.

[0043] It is understandable that the vent can be provided on only one of the first and second discs, or on both the first and second discs.

[0044] In some embodiments, there are multiple vent holes on the first or second disc body, and the multiple vent holes are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the first or second disc body.

[0045] In some embodiments, the throttling refrigerator of the present invention further includes a housing, a first plate and a second plate are disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing, the housing is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the gas passage, and the cold plate is disposed at the mounting holes.

[0046] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first cover and a second cover connected to define a receiving cavity, a first disc located inside the first cover, a second disc located inside the second cover, and a mounting hole provided on the first cover.

[0047] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 A throttling refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the throttling refrigerator of this embodiment includes a plate body 1, a heat exchange tube 2 and a cold plate 3, wherein the plate body 1 includes a first plate body 101 and a second plate body 102.

The refrigeration gas in the spiral cavity 5 exchanges heat with the cooling gas in the heat exchange pipe 2, and then flows out to the atmosphere through the vent hole 13 of the second disc body 102.

[0051] Therefore, the refrigeration gas in the heat exchange pipe 2 is sprayed out through the throttling hole after temperature reduction of the refrigeration gas in the spiral cavity 5, the temperature of the refrigeration gas is further reduced, the refrigeration gas after further temperature reduction flows back to the spiral cavity 5 and further exchanges heat with the subsequent refrigeration gas in the heat exchange pipe 2, so as to further reduce the temperature of the subsequent refrigeration gas in the heat exchange pipe 2, and the temperature of the cold disc 3 is stabilized at a low temperature through the reciprocating process, thereby being capable of cooling the components that need to be cooled.

[0059] Optionally, the cross section of the disc body 1 is circular, rectangular, triangular, etc., and the specific shape can be reasonably set according to actual needs.

[0060] It can be understood that the cross section of the disc body 1 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the disc body 1.

[0061] The first disc body 101 is provided with a gas path channel 7 penetrating the disc body 1 at a position corresponding to the throttle hole, the gas path channel 7 is in communication with the spiral cavity 5, and the cold disc 3 is arranged on the outer side of the disc body 1 at a position corresponding to the gas path channel 7 and defines an expansion cavity 8 with the gas path channel 7.

[0062] It can be understood that the gas path channel 7 and the cold disc 3 define an expansion cavity, and after the refrigerant gas in the heat exchange pipe 2 is throttled and sprayed through the throttle hole 6 of the heat exchange pipe 2, the pressure and temperature in the expansion cavity 8 defined by the gas path channel 7 and the cold disc 3 are reduced, so that the cold quantity of the refrigerant gas can directly act on the cold disc, greatly reducing the loss of the cold quantity of the refrigerant gas and improving the utilization rate of the cold quantity of the refrigerant gas.

[0063] As shown in FIG. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the gas path channel 7 is arranged on the first disc body 101 and located at the center position of the first disc body 101, i.e., at the end point of the spiral groove 4.

[0064] It can be understood that in order to enable the cooling gas throttled and sprayed to pass through the gas path channel 7 and the cold disc 3 for heat exchange as soon as possible, the throttle hole should be arranged at the position of the heat exchange pipe 2 corresponding to the gas path channel 7, i.e., the throttle hole can be arranged at the position of the heat exchange pipe 2 at the end point of the spiral groove 4.

The second disc body 102 and the spiral groove 4 define the spiral chamber 5 in which the heat exchange pipe 2 can be arranged, and the gas passage 7 is set to connect the throttling hole of the heat exchange pipe 2 and the cold disc 3, so that the throttled refrigerator exchanges heat only with the cold disc 3. The backflow of the refrigerator after heat exchange with the cold disc 3 is connected only with the high-pressure gas in the heat exchange pipe 2 in the spiral chamber 5, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigeration gas and further improve the refrigeration efficiency.
