The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The evaporator tube positioning structure of the present evaporator includes an inner barrel 40 and an outer barrel 50. The outer barrel 50 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner barrel 40, and a barrel partition cavity 30 is formed between the two. An evaporator tube 60 is arranged in the barrel partition cavity 30. A front end cover plate 70 and a rear end cover plate 80 are provided on the inner barrel 40 or the outer barrel 50. The front end cover plate 70 and the rear end cover plate 80 are respectively located at the front and rear positions of the barrel partition cavity 30. The evaporator tube 60 is spirally wound in the barrel partition cavity 30. The front end of the spirally wound section 100 of the evaporator tube 60 is positioned on the front end cover plate 70, and the rear end is positioned on the rear end cover plate 80.

[0024] In this embodiment, the front end cover plate 70 is used to position the front end of the spirally wound section 100, and the rear end cover plate 80 is used to position the rear end of the spirally wound section 100, so as to avoid the problem of displacement of the front and rear ends of the evaporator tube 60 after spiral winding. That is, after the evaporator tube 60 is assembled, the front and rear ends of the spirally wound section 100 are positioned by the front end cover plate 70 and the rear end cover plate 80 respectively, thereby ensuring that the evaporator tube 60 can be firmly assembled in the barrel compartment cavity 30, thereby improving the position assembly stability of the evaporator tube 60.

[0025] The front end cover plate 70 and the rear end cover plate 80 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the inner barrel 40. The outer diameters of the front end cover plate 70 and the rear end cover plate 80 are respectively larger than the outer diameters of the front and rear ends of the inner barrel 40. The evaporating tube 60 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the inner barrel 40, and the front and rear ends of the spirally wound section 100 are respectively positioned on the front end cover plate 70 and the rear end cover plate 80.

[0026] In this embodiment, the front cover plate 70 and the rear cover plate 80 are respectively fixed to the front and rear ends of the inner barrel 40 by fasteners or clips, and the front cover plate 70 and the rear cover plate 80 can also be fixed to the front and rear ends of the inner barrel 40 by another intermediate component. In addition, since the outer diameters of the front cover plate 70 and the rear cover plate 80 are both larger than the outer diameters of the front and rear ends of the inner barrel 40, a height difference is formed between the front cover plate 70 and the front end of the inner barrel 40, and between the rear cover plate 80 and the rear end of the inner barrel 40. When the evaporator tube 60 is assembled, the front and rear ends of the spirally wound section 100 can be positioned on the front cover plate 70 and the rear cover plate 80, respectively.

[0027] During assembly, the rear end cover plate 80 is first set at the rear end of the inner barrel 40, and then the evaporator tube 60 is spirally wound into shape, and then sleeved on the outer wall of the inner barrel 40, so that the rear end of the spirally wound section 100 is positioned on the rear end cover plate 80, and finally the front end cover plate 70 is set at the front end of the inner barrel 40, and the front end of the spirally wound section 100 is positioned.

The rear end of the spiral winding section 100 is bent toward the rear end of the inner barrel 40 and extends to form an outer bending section 300.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inner bending section 200 and the outer bending section 300 are bent and extended in the same direction, which is beneficial to the layout of the tubes, saves the space occupied by the tubes, and facilitates the miniaturization of the production and processing of the evaporator.

[0030] An inner barrel slot 40.8 is provided on the inner barrel 40, and a bending positioning groove 70.2 is provided on the front cover 70.

[0032] In this embodiment, the positioning function of the inner barrel slot 40.8 is utilized to position the bending position of the inner bending section 200 within the inner barrel slot 40.8, which not only effectively fixes the bending position of the inner bending section 200, but also avoids the problem of breakage caused by excessive bending of the inner bending section 200. In addition, the positioning cooperation of the rear plate positioning groove 80.3 is utilized to position the bending position of the outer bending section 300 on the rear plate positioning groove 80.3, which not only effectively positions the bending position of the outer bending section 300, but also avoids the problem of breakage caused by excessive bending of the outer bending section 300. That is, it can effectively improve the assembly stability of the evaporator tube 60, avoid its displacement problem after assembly, and at the same time avoid damage to the evaporator tube 60.

[0033] A separation cylinder 40.1 is provided inside the inner barrel 40, and the separation cylinder 40.1 separates a first inner barrel cavity 40.2 and a second inner barrel cavity 40.3 which are independent of each other. The first inner barrel cavity 40.2 is located outside the second inner barrel cavity 40.3, and its front end is sealed, and a first inner barrel cavity rear opening 40.4 is provided at the rear end. The second inner barrel cavity 40.3 is provided with a second inner barrel cavity front opening 40.5 and a second inner barrel cavity rear opening 40.6 at the front and rear ends respectively.

[0034] The front end cover plate 70 is provided with a front end cover plate opening 70.1, and the front end cover plate opening 70.1 corresponds to the front opening 40.5 of the second inner barrel cavity.

The extended rear end of the inner bending section 200 is provided with an inner bending section opening 201, and the outer bending section 300 extends outward toward the rear opening 40.4 of the first inner barrel cavity and the rear opening 50.1 of the outer barrel, and its extended rear end is provided with an outer bending section opening 301.

[0037] The rear end cover plate 80 is covered on the barrel partition cavity 30. The rear end cover plate 80 is provided with a first rear end cover plate opening 80.1 corresponding to the rear opening 40.4 of the first inner barrel cavity and a second rear end cover plate opening 80.2 corresponding to the rear opening 40.6 of the second inner barrel cavity.

[0040] The bent outer bending section 300 extends outward through the first inner barrel cavity rear opening 40.4 and the outer barrel rear opening 50.1 in sequence.

[0041] The evaporating tube 60 is connected to the refrigerant end through the outer bending section 300 and the inner bending section 200, so that the refrigerant enters the evaporating tube 60 through the outer bending section 300 and is then discharged from the inner bending section 200. At the same time, the setting of the spirally wound section 100 is conducive to increasing the evaporation area, which not only makes the cooling more uniform and rapid, improves the evaporation efficiency, but also is more energy-saving and efficient.
