Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear Stirling refrigerators, specifically to a moving part assembly for a linear Stirling refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Stirling coolers are electrically driven mechanical refrigerators that are characterized by their compact structure, small size, light weight, and high efficiency. They are widely used in infrared cooling detectors, scientific research, and aerospace fields.

[0003] The mover assembly is one of the power components for the operation of a linear Stirling refrigerator. The coil is connected to an AC power source, which generates an electromagnetic field that interacts with the magnet. As the AC power changes, it controls the reciprocating motion of the refrigerator's mover.

[0004] Linear Stirling refrigerators are compact in structure, operate for long periods, and are difficult to maintain. Therefore, they require high reliability and stability. The magnets and the magnet frame are glued together, while the compression piston is laser-welded to the magnet frame. Since the mover assembly is one of the power components for the operation of the linear Stirling refrigerator, the magnets, the magnet frame, and the compression piston are constantly subjected to force, which can easily lead to the magnets loosening and the compression piston falling off. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mover assembly for a linear Stirling refrigerator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A mover assembly for a linear Stirling refrigerator includes:

[0008] A skeleton, wherein a plurality of magnets are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the skeleton;

[0009] A ring clamp is fitted onto the outer surface of the magnet and is used to fix the magnet onto the frame.

[0010] A frame cover is disposed at the end of the frame and is used to press the end face of the magnet.

[0011] Preferably, the magnet is an arc-shaped strip, and the projection of the magnet on the radial plane is trapezoidal.

[0012] Preferably, each of the magnets has at least one groove formed on its outer surface, and the ring is fitted inside the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the ring is a semi-circular arc structure, and two rings are provided on the same circumferential plane, with the ends of the two rings connected to each other.

[0014] Preferably, each of the magnets and the frame is coated with adhesive, and each of the magnets is pre-connected to the frame by the adhesive.

[0015] Preferably, adhesive is applied between the ring and the groove to pre-connect the ring and the groove.

[0016] Preferably, the frame cap includes a hollow annular cap, the center of the cap having an annular first connecting portion extending away from the frame, and the outer edge of the cap having an annular second connecting portion extending close to the frame, the second connecting portion being used to press the end face of the magnet.

[0017] Preferably, a leaf spring is engaged with the end face of the first connecting part, and the leaf spring has a hollow annular structure.

[0018] Preferably, a compression piston is inserted into the interior of the skeleton cover, and one end of the compression piston is inserted into the interior of the first connecting part.

[0019] Preferably, the end of the compression piston is provided with a coating groove at the internal position corresponding to the first connecting part, and the inside of the coating groove is coated with glue.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. The mating surfaces of the compression piston and the magnetic steel frame are provided with glue grooves. The glue grooves are coated with glue, and then laser welding is performed after the glue is used to bond them together, which increases the connection strength between the compression piston and the magnetic steel frame.

[0022] 2. The magnets are set in a trapezoidal shape. Because the magnets repel each other, after the first magnet is installed, the distance between the two magnets will be less than the width of the magnet, making it more difficult to assemble the last magnet. However, if trapezoidal magnets are used, it is easier to assemble them with the narrower end.

[0023] 3. A rectangular groove is provided on the outer wall of the trapezoidal magnet. Two semi-circular rings are bonded in the groove, and the two semi-circular rings connect the sheet magnets into one piece to prevent the magnets from loosening radially.

[0024] 4. After the magnet is axially pressed together, the magnet frame cap is glued to prevent the magnet from loosening axially. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Magnet 3 is an arc-shaped strip, and the projection of magnet 3 on the radial plane is trapezoidal.

[0044] Due to the interaction force between magnets 3, after the first 5 magnets 3 are installed, the distance between two magnets 3 will be less than the width of magnet 3, making it more difficult to assemble the last magnet 3.

[0047] Specifically, the ring 2 can be glued into the groove 8 to connect the 6 magnets 3 into one piece and prevent the magnets 3 from loosening radially.

[0048] Specifically, multiple sets of grooves 8 can be provided, and the fixation of the magnet 3 can be further strengthened through the cooperation of multiple sets of grooves 8 and the internal ring 2.

[0049] Specifically, each magnet 3 and the frame 1 are coated with glue, and each magnet 3 is pre-connected to the frame 1 by the glue.

[0050] Specifically, the frame cover 4 includes a hollow annular cover body, the center of which has an annular first connecting portion 41 extending away from the frame 1, and the outer edge of which has an annular second connecting portion 42 extending close to the frame, the second connecting portion 42 being used to press the end face of the magnet 3.

[0051] Specifically, a leaf spring 5 is engaged with the end face of the first connecting part 41, and the leaf spring 5 has a hollow annular structure.

[0052] Specifically, the leaf spring 5 and the frame cover 4 can be pre-connected with glue and then welded.

[0053] A compression piston 6 is inserted into the inside of the skeleton cover 4, and one end of the compression piston 6 is connected to the top of the skeleton cover 4.

[0054] A glue-applying groove 7 is provided at the end of the compression piston 6 corresponding to the end of the skeleton cover 4. The glue-applying groove 7 is annular and is coated with glue. The compression piston 6 is fixed inside the skeleton cover 4 by the glue.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples; within the framework of the present invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.
