AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing refrigeration equipment, gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant is prone to partial or complete blockage when circulating in the pipeline, resulting in uneven cooling effect and shortened service life. This is mainly due to the backflow of solder to the inner wall of the branch pipe, which affects the flow area and flow rate.

Method used

By employing inserts made of different materials and an expanded annular groove structure, the difference in wettability and permeability of the materials is utilized to prevent solder backflow, and the expanded annular groove weakens capillary action and liquid surface tension, ensuring flow area.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents solder backflow, ensures uniform distribution of refrigerant and flow area, and improves cooling effect and equipment life.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration machinery technology, and more specifically to an anti-clogging distributor device. Background Technology

[0002] A distributor used in refrigeration and air conditioning piping systems thoroughly mixes the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and then supplies it evenly and in equal amounts to the evaporator, ensuring uniform mixing of the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and its distribution into each branch. During operation, the refrigeration equipment circulates the high-pressure, high-speed gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant within each pipeline for cooling; ensuring uniform distribution in each pipeline is crucial for optimal cooling performance. In existing technologies, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the branch pipes for conveying liquid need to be welded. The distributor head is generally equipped with a stepped hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which is vertically integrated for positioning. The pipe is directly welded to this hole. Because the distributor is generally made of copper, the pipe has good wettability and excellent permeability when welded with the welding material. Under capillary action, the solder is very easy to flow back to the inner wall of the branch pipe opening, forming a partial or complete blockage. This affects the flow area, causes differences in refrigerant flow in each pipeline, affects the cooling effect, and also affects the service life. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a reasonably structured and effective anti-clogging distributor device.

[0004] A clog-resistant distributor device includes a distributor head, a nozzle, and a distributor. The distributor head has multiple first guide holes. A non-conforming insert is pressed between the distributor head and the nozzle. The insert has a guide structure extending from the center to both sides. An expansion-type annular groove is provided on the lower side of the first guide holes. The insert has a second guide hole coaxial with the first guide holes. A positioning structure is provided on the second guide hole. The diameter of the second guide hole is larger than that of the first guide hole. A fastening ring is provided in the center or around the circumference of the insert.

[0005] This practical structure is reasonable. By setting up inserts made of different materials, when welding the pipe, distributor head and nozzle, the difference in wettability of the different materials to the solder prevents the solder backflow and achieves the anti-clogging function.

[0006] By adding an expanded annular groove, the gap between the annular grooves is used to weaken capillary action and liquid surface tension, preventing excessive solder penetration and ensuring the flow area.

[0007] As a further improvement and supplement to the above solution, this utility model also includes the following additional technical features:

[0008] The cross-section of the flow guiding structure is V-shaped, resulting in good flow guiding effect.

[0009] The insert is made of brass, which has poor wettability and permeability, so the welding fluid will not flow back.

[0010] The insert is made of stainless steel, and the second guide hole is located inside the protruding boss. A tapered connecting mechanism is provided on the boss and the insert body. Stainless steel has poor wettability and permeability, preventing backflow of the welding fluid.

[0011] The insert is equipped with a positioning ring to ensure that the insert is positioned correctly.

[0012] The distributor is an impeller, which mixes the gas and liquid refrigerants evenly.

[0013] The following beneficial effects can be achieved by using this utility model:

[0014] This practical structure is reasonable. By setting up inserts made of different materials, the difference in wettability of different materials to the solder during welding can prevent solder backflow and achieve the anti-clogging function.

[0015] By adding an expanded annular groove, the gap between the annular grooves is used to weaken capillary action and liquid surface tension, preventing excessive solder penetration and ensuring the flow area. Attached Figure Description

A fastening ring 6 is provided in the middle or around the circumference of the insert 4 for pressing and positioning.

[0024] Furthermore, the cross-section of the flow guiding structure 41 is V-shaped, and the V-shape is distributed from the nozzle 2 to the distributor head 1.

[0025] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the insert 4 is made of brass, the fastening ring 6 is located on the lower circumference of the insert 4, the insert 4 is in contact with the dispenser head 1, and the fastening ring 6 is in contact with the nozzle 2.
