[0051] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0052] An embodiment of the present invention provides a gas-liquid separator, which has the function of exchanging heat and cooling the first refrigerant, thereby reducing the temperature of the first refrigerant when it enters the expansion valve, improving the refrigeration effect, and reducing the risk of liquid hammer in the compressor. The gas-liquid separator will be described in detail below.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The gas-liquid separator includes an outer cylinder 3, an inner cylinder 4 and a heat exchange tube 5. The inner cylinder 4 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 3. The inner cylinder 4 is used to connect the first refrigerant, and the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 3 form a partition chamber. The heat exchange tube 5 is arranged in the partition chamber and is used to connect the second refrigerant. When the first refrigerant enters the inner cylinder 4, the first refrigerant transfers heat to the inner cylinder 4, and the inner cylinder 4 transfers heat to the partition chamber to increase the temperature of the partition chamber. The second refrigerant flows in the heat exchange tube 5, and the temperature of the second refrigerant is lower than the temperature of the partition chamber. The heat exchange tube 5 and the second refrigerant form a temperature difference with the high-temperature partition chamber, so that the heat exchange tube 5 and the second refrigerant flowing inside the heat exchange tube 5 complete heat exchange with the high-temperature partition chamber, directly or indirectly cool the first refrigerant in the inner cylinder 4, reduce the temperature of the first refrigerant when entering the expansion valve, improve the refrigeration effect, and reduce the risk of liquid hammer in the compressor.

[0054] There is a temperature difference between the first cold medium and the second cold medium, and the temperature of the first cold medium is higher than the temperature of the second cold medium.

[0055] refer to Figure 7 The outer cylinder 3 may be a closed tank body with a hollow interior. In this embodiment, the outer cylinder 3 is a cylindrical tube body with two ends connected. The inner cylinder 4 may be an integrally formed tank body with a cavity. When the inner cylinder 4 is an integrally formed tank body, holes need to be opened on the formed tank body to install pipes for inputting and outputting the first cold medium. In this embodiment, the inner cylinder 4 includes a cylinder body 40 and an inner cylinder cover 41. The upper end of the cylinder body 40 is open, and the inner cylinder cover 41 is sealed at the upper end of the cylinder body 40.

[0056] refer to Figures 8 to 10 In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator also includes an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 2. The upper cover 1 is connected to the upper end of the outer cylinder 3, and the lower cover 2 is connected to the lower end of the outer cylinder 3. The upper cover 1 is provided with a first flow channel 10 and a second flow channel 11, and the lower cover 2 is provided with a third flow channel 20 and a fourth flow channel 21.

[0057] The first flow channel 10 is connected to the interior of the inner cylinder 4. Specifically, a connecting pipe 42 is connected to the inner cylinder cover plate 41. One end of the connecting pipe 42 is inserted into the first flow channel 10, and the other end of the connecting pipe 42 is inserted into the interior of the inner cylinder 4, so that the first flow channel 10 is connected to the interior of the inner cylinder 4. The second flow channel 11 is connected and communicated with one end of the heat exchange tube 5, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 5 is connected and communicated with the fourth flow channel 21. The third flow channel 20 is connected to the partition chamber.

[0058] The heat exchange tube 5 is connected to the second refrigerant to cool the first refrigerant inside the inner cylinder 4, so the inner space of the heat exchange tube 5 needs to be isolated from the partition chamber.

[0059] refer to Fig.11 Combined with Figure 8 In this embodiment, the heat exchange tube 5 is spirally distributed in the compartment chamber, and the spiral heat exchange tube 5 can have a larger contact area with the first refrigerant, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange efficiency. In other embodiments, the heat exchange tube 5 can also be arranged in the compartment chamber in a serpentine shape.

[0060] The outer wall of the heat exchange tube 5 can be in close contact with the inner cylinder 4, so as to improve the efficiency of heat exchange. Of course, the heat exchange tube 5 can also be spaced apart from the inner cylinder 4.

[0061] Furthermore, the cross section of the heat exchange tube 5 may be circular, semicircular, rectangular, or elliptical. Of course, the cross section is not limited to the above shapes, and may also be other regular or irregular shapes.

[0062] It should be noted that the diameter and length of the heat exchange tube 5 can be adaptively changed according to actual needs.

[0063] refer to Fig.12 Combined with Figure 6 The gas-liquid separator also includes a gas-liquid separation component 6, which is arranged inside the inner cylinder 4, and is used to separate the gas phase and liquid phase of the first refrigerant entering the inner cylinder 4.

[0064] The gas-liquid separation assembly 6 includes a separation plate 60, which is used to separate the gas phase and liquid phase of the first refrigerant entering the inner cylinder 4. The separation plate 60 is located below the inner cylinder cover plate 41 and is spaced apart from the inner cylinder cover plate 41. The end of the connecting pipe 42 is located above the separation plate 60. When the first refrigerant is discharged from the connecting pipe 42, the first refrigerant first impacts the separation plate 60, and the liquid phase in the first refrigerant adheres to the separation plate 60, thereby separating from the gas phase. The liquid phase on the separation plate 60 will flow into the bottom of the inner cylinder 4 along the edge of the separation plate 60.

[0065] refer to Fig.13 The gas-liquid separation component 6 also includes a separation tube 61 . The separation tube 61 is arranged inside the inner cylinder 4 . The separation tube 61 includes an outer tube body 611 and an inner tube body 612 .

[0066] The outer tube body 611 has a first end and a second end, both of which are open, the first end is connected to the interior of the inner tube body 4, and the second end is connected to the inner tube body 612 and the interior of the inner tube body 4. One side of the inner tube body 612 is connected to the inner side wall of the outer tube body 611, the lower end of the inner tube body 612 is connected to the second end of the outer tube body 611, and the upper end of the inner tube body 612 passes through the separation plate 60 and the inner tube cover plate 41 in sequence and then connects to the partition chamber.

[0067] After the initial separation by the separation plate 60, the first cold medium enters the interior of the inner cylinder 4, and most of the liquid phase adheres to the separation plate 60. The gas phase and a small amount of liquid phase remaining in the gas phase enter the outer tube body 611 from the first end of the outer tube body 611, and then enter the inner tube body 612 from the second end of the outer tube body 611, and finally enter the partition chamber from the upper end of the inner tube body 612. The small amount of liquid phase remaining in the gas phase will adhere to the tube walls of the outer tube body 611 and the inner tube body 612 when flowing through the outer tube body 611 and the inner tube body 612, thereby performing secondary gas-liquid separation, thereby improving the effectiveness of gas-liquid separation; the first cold medium entering the partition chamber contacts with the heat exchange tube 5, so that the second cold medium and the first cold medium can fully exchange heat, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 5.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second refrigerant is input from the fourth flow channel 21 and output from the second flow channel 11. The second refrigerant flows upward, and the first refrigerant is discharged from the inner tube body 612 and flows downward, so that the second refrigerant and the first refrigerant flow countercurrently with each other, fully exchanging heat, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 5.

[0069] Furthermore, a partition plate is provided between the outer wall of the inner tube body 612 and the inner wall of the outer tube body 611, through which the liquid phase remaining in the gas phase can be further adhered, thereby reducing the liquid content in the gas phase, and the liquid phase adhered to the partition plate and the tube walls of the inner tube body 612 and the outer tube body 611 flows into the interior of the inner cylinder 4 through the opening at the second end of the outer tube body 611, and is mixed and stored with the initially separated liquid phase. The number of partition plates can be one or more.

[0070] Of course, in order to quickly collect the secondarily separated liquid phase into the inner cylinder 4, the second end of the outer tube 611 is set in a cone, and the bottom of the cone is opened.

[0071] In this embodiment, a separation tube mounting seat 62 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the inner cylinder 4 , and the separation tube 61 is stably disposed inside the inner cylinder 4 through the separation tube mounting seat 62 .

[0072] refer to Fig.14 The separation tube mounting seat 62 is in the shape of a cylindrical bottle cap as a whole, and a plurality of limit blocks 621 are arranged on the inner wall. The plurality of limit blocks 621 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the separation tube mounting seat 62. Since the second end of the outer tube body 611 is conical, when the second end of the outer tube body 611 is plugged into the separation tube mounting seat 62, the plurality of limit blocks 621 can clamp and limit the second end of the outer tube body 611, thereby ensuring that the outer tube body 611 is vertically and stably arranged inside the inner cylinder body 4.

[0073] The bottom of the separation tube mounting seat 62 is fixed on the inner bottom wall of the inner cylinder 4, and a plurality of through holes 622 are also provided on the circumferential side wall of the separation tube mounting seat 62, through which the liquid phase collected from the walls of the partition plate, the inner tube body 612, and the outer tube body 611 can flow into the interior of the inner cylinder 4.

[0074] Reference again Figure 7 In this embodiment, the tube diameter of the lower end of the inner cylinder 4 is shrunk, that is, the tube diameter of the end of the inner cylinder 4 away from the inner cylinder cover plate 41 is reduced. This design can collect the separated liquid phase at the bottom of the inner cylinder 4 and make the liquid level of the liquid phase in the inner cylinder 4 higher, which is convenient for recycling the liquid phase. On the other hand, there can be a larger spacing space between the heat exchange tube 5, which is convenient for the installation and connection of the heat exchange tube 5.

[0075] The inner cylinder 4 is also provided with an escape area 401 recessed toward the inside thereof for escaping the heat exchange tube 5 , so that the heat exchange tube 5 and the inner cylinder 4 can be compactly arranged inside the outer cylinder 3 .

[0076] The flow path of the first refrigerant in this embodiment is: first flow channel 10 -> connecting pipe 42 -> interior of inner cylinder 4 -> first end of outer tube 611 -> second end of outer tube 611 -> inner tube 612 -> partition chamber -> third flow channel 20 .

[0077] The flow path of the second refrigerant is: the fourth flow channel 21 -> the heat exchange tube 5 -> the second flow channel 11 .

[0078] The gas-liquid separator of the embodiment of the present invention can not only effectively separate the liquid phase in the first refrigerant through the separation plate 60 and the separation tube 61, but also heat exchange and cool the first refrigerant through the heat exchange tube 5, thereby improving the refrigeration effect and reducing the risk of liquid hammer in the compressor. In addition, the gas-liquid separator also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, excellent heat exchange performance, strong versatility, and low manufacturing cost.

[0079] In addition, the directional descriptions such as up, down, left, right, inside, and outside mentioned in this embodiment are all descriptions based on the drawings, and other embodiments may include but are not limited to such directional descriptions.

[0080] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
