Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator components, in particular to an air return pipe component of a dual-system refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] The evaporator is one of the important components in the refrigerator refrigeration system. During the refrigerator refrigeration process, the low-temperature condensed liquid passes through the evaporator to exchange heat with the outside air and absorb heat through vaporization to achieve the refrigeration effect. In a dual-system air-cooled refrigerator, there are two evaporators, namely the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator. Therefore, it is necessary to connect the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator through a return air pipe.
[0003] At present, the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator of the dual-system air-cooled refrigerator are connected in series through a three-way pipe on the return air pipe. Usually, the three-way pipe on the return air pipe is made of copper pipe. The three-way pipe adds two welding points on the return air pipe, which increases the leakage rate of the return air pipe. Since the return air pipe is installed in the foaming layer of the refrigerator, it is difficult to find and repair when a welding point leak occurs. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a further solution of the utility model: one end of the No. 1 capillary is connected to a No. 1 connecting tube, and the No. 1 connecting tube is parallel to the inlet end of the No. 1 return air pipe and fits each other; one end of the No. 2 capillary is connected to a No. 2 connecting tube, and the No. 2 connecting tube is parallel to the inlet end of the No. 2 return air pipe and fits each other.
[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: a curved section is formed in the middle of the No. 2 air return pipe, the No. 1 capillary tube and the No. 2 capillary tube.
[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the curved section includes a horizontal U-shaped section and a vertical U-shaped section that are integrally connected.
[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the No. 1 air return pipe and the No. 2 air return pipe are respectively wrapped with aluminum foil tape.
[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: the exterior of the No. 2 air return pipe, the No. 1 capillary tube and the No. 2 capillary tube parallel section are tightly wrapped with aluminum foil tape.
[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] The utility model uses aluminum foil tape to wrap the No. 1 air return pipe and the No. 2 air return pipe respectively, and there is no welding point connection between the No. 1 air return pipe and the No. 2 air return pipe, which not only reduces the risk of leakage in the box, but also facilitates the loading and unloading and maintenance of the No. 1 air return pipe and the No. 2 air return pipe;
[0013] The utility model adopts a method of stacking the horizontal U-shaped section and the vertical U-shaped section around the pipe for the No. 2 return air pipe, the No. 1 capillary tube and the No. 2 capillary tube in the middle parallel section, thereby lengthening the heat exchange length of the No. 2 return air pipe and the No. 1 capillary tube and the No. 2 capillary tube in a limited space, thereby improving the heat exchange performance;
[0014] Since the first capillary tube and the second capillary tube are both slender structures, the first connecting tube and the second connecting tube are provided, and the first capillary tube and the second capillary tube are expanded and transitioned before being connected to the corresponding freezing evaporator and refrigerating evaporator in the refrigerator, thereby improving the convenience of connection.
