Evaporative pipe in refrigerator and mounting structure of evaporative pipe in refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator evaporator and a refrigerator evaporator installation structure, in particular, the first connector and the second connector is formed so that one end is in communication with the first connector, the other end is connected to the first connector, the other end It includes a tube which is installed to communicate with the inside of the tube partition wall is related to the refrigerator evaporator and the refrigerator evaporator installation structure is formed in the longitudinal direction of the tube.

In general, a refrigerator is a type of air conditioner. As for the cooling cycle, a gaseous refrigerant compressed at high temperature and high pressure in a compressor loses heat as it becomes a liquid refrigerant due to high pressure while passing through a condenser. The refrigerant at low temperature and high pressure is brought into a low temperature and high pressure state, and then the refrigerant at low temperature and low pressure is vaporized while passing through the evaporator to take away heat from the surroundings. Through the process of moving to the condenser through the condensation to perform the cooling continuously.

As it is well known, recently, Kimchi storage was developed to use only the Kimchi to make the kimchi mature and keep it fresh by using the principle of the refrigerator. After ripening, it maintains the proper temperature to preserve the taste of ripe kimchi for a long time.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the internal structure of a conventional kimchi storage.

As shown in Figure 1, when looking at the configuration of the conventional general kimchi storage, the kimchi storage room 3 is provided inside the kimchi storage body (6), the kimchi storage room (3) by lifting upwards to open and close The door 5 is hinged to the upper end of the rear surface of the body (6).

In addition, a lower side of the kimchi storage chamber (3) is divided into a machine room 14, in which a compressor (2) and a condenser, etc., for cooling cycles are arranged, and a heat insulating material (4) is provided at a portion requiring heat insulation inside the main body (6). ), Etc., to obtain a thermal insulation effect.

Here, the kimchi storage room (3) has a separate kimchi storage tube is inserted to ripen and store kimchi.

In addition, an evaporator 12 and a hot wire 13 are installed outside the incase 10 of the kimchi storage room 3 to supply cold air or heat to the kimchi storage room 3.

At this time, the evaporator 12 and the heating wire 13 is installed while wrapping the outer surface of the in-case 10.

The structure in which the conventional evaporator 12 is installed is installed while the evaporator 12 forms a horizontal arrangement and surrounds the outer surface of the incase 10 of the kimchi storage room.

In this case, an inlet portion through which the refrigerant flows into the evaporator 12 and an outlet portion through which the refrigerant flows out are formed, the inlet portion is connected to the condenser, and the outlet portion is connected to the compressor.

Since the condenser and the compressor are disposed in the machine room provided below the kimchi storage chamber, the inlet and the outlet are respectively installed toward the bottom of the kimchi storage chamber.

In addition, starting from the inlet, the evaporator 12 is installed while wrapping up from the bottom of the incase 10 to the top.

Therefore, when the refrigerant flows into the evaporator 12 through the inlet portion from the condenser through the capillary tube, the refrigerant flows from the lower portion of the incase 10 to vaporize.

Since the evaporator 12 is installed only by enclosing the outer surface of the incase 10, the evaporator 12 enclosing the incase 10 is the incase 10 and the evaporator 12. It is installed with a certain gap without being in close contact therebetween.

Therefore, when the incase 10 is cooled by the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator 12, the evaporator 12 is simply formed as a pipe with a cross section to effectively cool the air into the flat plate-shaped incase 10. There is a problem that cannot be delivered.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator is increased, it is possible to maintain the evaporator compact, and to provide a refrigerator evaporator and a refrigerator evaporator installation structure that the cost of the product is reduced. There is this.

Refrigerator evaporator of the present invention for achieving the above object, the first connector and the second connector formed with a pipe connection, the one end is installed in communication with the first connector, the other end is installed in communication with the second connector And a tube, wherein a partition is formed in the tube length direction.

Refrigerator evaporator installation structure of the present invention for achieving the above object, the storage case is formed with an in-case, and the evaporator is installed on the outer surface of the in-case, the evaporator is a first connector and the second tube is formed with a connection hole A connector is installed so that one end is in communication with the first connector, and a tube is installed so that the other end is in communication with the second connector. A partition wall is formed in the tube in the longitudinal direction of the tube.

In the above configuration, the evaporator may be installed to spirally wound on the outer surface of the incase.

According to the refrigerator evaporator and the refrigerator evaporator installation structure of the present invention as described above, there are the following effects.

A first connector and a second connector formed with a pipe connection hole, and a tube installed at one end thereof in communication with the first connector, and a tube installed at the other end thereof in communication with the second connector, and a partition wall is formed in the tube in the longitudinal direction of the tube. The heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator is increased, the evaporator can be kept compact, and the cost of the product can be reduced. In addition, since both ends of the evaporator are connected to separate connectors, the evaporator can be formed into one long band shape and bend in accordance with the shape of the incase to be installed in the incase, thus simplifying the process of manufacturing the evaporator. The assembling process is also simplified.
