- A
liquid reservoir assembly 100 for a refrigerating system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in the following with reference toFIGS. 1 to 6 . - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , theliquid reservoir assembly 100 for the refrigerating system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes aliquid reservoir 1, agas input pipe 2, agas output pipe 3 and a capillary 4. Theliquid reservoir 1 may have a substantially cylindrical shape, theliquid reservoir 1 defines aliquid storage chamber 11 therein, and theliquid storage chamber 11 may be used to store a refrigerant, such that a filling quantity deviation of the refrigerant can be reduced, and a phenomenon of an excessive refrigerant or an insufficient refrigerant can be prevented from occurring. Theliquid reservoir 1 may have agas inlet 12 and agas outlet 13. For example, as illustrated in the drawings, thegas inlet 12 may be disposed at a top of theliquid reservoir 1, and thegas outlet 13 may be disposed at a bottom of theliquid reservoir 1. Thus, the refrigerant can enter theliquid storage chamber 11 in theliquid reservoir 1 through thegas inlet 12, and flow out of thegas outlet 13 after finishing a subsequent heat exchange with thecapillary 4, thus completing a circulation. - The
gas input pipe 2 may be connected to thegas inlet 12 of theliquid reservoir 1, and thegas output pipe 3 may be connected to thegas outlet 13 of theliquid reservoir 1. The refrigerant can pass through thegas input pipe 2, flow into theliquid reservoir 1 via thegas inlet 12, flow out of thegas outlet 13, pass through thegas output pipe 3, and subsequently enter acompressor 6. - The
capillary 4 may be attached to thegas input pipe 2 and/or thegas output pipe 3, and wound around an outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1. Thus, refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4 can achieve the heat exchange with the incompletely evaporated refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1, so as to completely liquefy the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 and to reach a supercooling effect, such that a supercooling degree can be increased, a refrigerating capacity per unit volume can be promoted, a refrigerating speed can be enhanced, refrigerating efficiency can be further improved, and an energy consumption can be reduced. Furthermore, since the heat exchange between the capillary 4 and theliquid reservoir 1 improves purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4, a noise produced by an airflow disturbance can also be reduced. Meanwhile, the purity of a refrigerant gas in theliquid reservoir 1 can also be improved, and a liquid strike phenomenon can be prevented from occurring in thesubsequent compressor 6. - It should be noted that, the
capillary 4 may be attached to thegas input pipe 2 and/or thegas output pipe 3. That is to say, thecapillary 4 may be attached to thegas input pipe 2, as illustrated in drawings. In this way, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can perform the heat exchange with the refrigerant in thegas input pipe 2, thereby improving the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4. Alternatively, thecapillary 4 may be attached to thegas output pipe 3, such that the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can perform the heat exchange with the refrigerant outflowing from theliquid reservoir 1, thereby improving the supercooling degree of the refrigerant. Further alternatively, thecapillary 4 may be attached to thegas input pipe 2 and thegas output pipe 3 at the same time, that is, one end of thecapillary 4 is attached to thegas input pipe 2, a middle portion of thecapillary 4 is wound around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1, and also, the other end of thecapillary 4 is attached to thegas output pipe 3, such that thecapillary 4 can achieve a sufficient heat exchange with theliquid reservoir 1, and thus the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4 can be high, thereby further improving the refrigerating efficiency. - In the
liquid reservoir assembly 100 for the refrigerating system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, by attaching thecapillary 4 to thegas input pipe 2 and/or thegas output pipe 3, and by winding thecapillary 4 around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can achieve the heat exchange with the incompletely evaporated refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1, so as to completely liquefy the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 and to reach the supercooling effect, such that the supercooling degree can be increased, the refrigerating capacity per unit volume can be promoted, the refrigerating speed can be enhanced, the refrigerating efficiency can be further improved, and the energy consumption can be reduced. Moreover, theliquid reservoir 1 can reduce the filling quantity deviation of the refrigerant, and prevent the phenomenon of the excessive refrigerant or the insufficient refrigerant from occurring, such that the refrigerating speed can be further enhanced, and the refrigerating efficiency can be improved. Meanwhile, since the heat exchange between the capillary 4 and theliquid reservoir 1 improves the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4, the purity of the refrigerant gas in theliquid reservoir 1 can also be improved, such that the noise produced by the airflow disturbance can be reduced, and a probability of the liquid strike phenomenon occurring in thecompressor 6 can be decreased. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in the drawings, the
capillary 4 may be attached to thegas input pipe 2, such that the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can achieve the heat exchange with the refrigerant in thegas input pipe 2, the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4 can be further improved, and the refrigerating efficiency can be enhanced. - In some embodiments, as illustrated in the drawings, an
inlet end 41 of thecapillary 4 may be wound around thegas input pipe 2 and anoutlet end 42 of thecapillary 4 may be wound around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1. Thus, on the one hand, a stability of thecapillary 4 being wound around theliquid reservoir 1 can be enhanced, so as to avoid falling off of thecapillary 4; on the other hand, since the refrigerant from theinlet end 41 of thecapillary 4 can achieve the heat exchange with thegas input pipe 2, a vast majority of the refrigerant has become liquid, only a small amount of the refrigerant is in a gaseous state and is mixed in the liquid, and such gaseous refrigerant is further liquefied while passing through thecapillary 4 wound around theliquid reservoir 1, such that all the refrigerants finally entering theevaporator 8 are liquid, the refrigerating capacity per unit volume of the refrigerant is ensured to be maximized, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, the temperature reducing speed is increased, and the energy consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, since the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4 is high, the noise caused by the air turbulence is effectively avoided. - As one embodiment, as illustrated in the drawings, the
capillary 4 may be bound to thegas input pipe 2 by atape 5, so as to improve the stability of thecapillary 4 being attached to thegas input pipe 2, and to reduce the probability of thecapillary 4 falling off - In some embodiments, the
tape 5 may be a heat-transfer tape 5. In this way, the heat exchange between the capillary 4 and thegas input pipe 2 is facilitated. Further, thetape 5 may be an aluminum-foil tape 5. Since the aluminum-foil tape 5 is capable of conducting heat and has advantages of a good viscidity, a strong adhesive force, an anti-aging characteristic, etc., by binding thecapillary 4 to thegas input pipe 2 with the aluminum-foil tape 5, the stability and the reliability of thecapillary 4 being attached to thegas input pipe 2 can be further improved, and an influence on the heat exchange between the capillary 4 and thegas input pipe 2 can also be reduced. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in the drawings, the
liquid reservoir 1 may be oriented in a vertical direction, thegas inlet 12 may be disposed at the top of theliquid reservoir 1, and thegas outlet 13 may be disposed at the bottom of theliquid reservoir 1. Thus, the refrigerant in thegas input pipe 2 may enter theliquid storage chamber 11 through thegas outlet 13, and perform a gas-liquid separation under the action of gravity. The refrigerant in theliquid storage chamber 11 performs the heat exchange with the refrigerant in thecapillary 4, flows out of thegas outlet 13 of theliquid reservoir 1 after being further vaporized, and enters thesubsequent compressor 6, thereby completing the circulation. - In order to improve the purity of the refrigerant outflowing from the
liquid reservoir 1, thegas output pipe 3 may extend into theliquid reservoir 1. For example, in an example illustrated in the drawings, an end of thegas output pipe 3 may extend into theliquid reservoir 1 until above a central portion of theliquid reservoir 1, and the end may be inclined towards a side wall of theliquid reservoir 1. In this way, when the gas-liquid refrigerant mixture enters theliquid reservoir 1 through thegas inlet 12 at the top, the liquid refrigerant moves downwards under the action of gravity, and gathers at the bottom of theliquid storage chamber 11 to perform the heat exchange with thecapillary 4 wound around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1, so as to be further vaporized. The gaseous refrigerant moves upwards, flows out of thegas output pipe 3, and further flows into thesubsequent compressor 6. Also, the liquid refrigerant continues performing the heat exchange with thecapillary 4. While performing the heat exchange with the refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can be further liquefied, such that all the refrigerants entering theevaporator 8 can be liquid. Thus, the refrigerating capacity per unit volume of the refrigerant can be ensured to be maximized, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved, and the energy consumption can be reduced. - In some embodiments, as illustrated in the drawings, a part of the
gas output pipe 3 extending into theliquid reservoir 1 may have multiple oil return holes 31. Since a lubricating oil in thecompressor 6 will unavoidably enter arefrigerating system 200 when thecompressor 6 compresses the refrigerant to work, by providing the multiple oil return holes 31 in the part of thegas output pipe 3 extending into theliquid reservoir 1, a separation of the refrigerant and the lubricating oil can be achieved, the refrigerant can flow into the subsequent heat exchange system, and the lubricating oil can return to a compression chamber of thecompressor 6. On one hand, the influence of the lubricating oil on therefrigerating system 200 can be reduced; on the other hand, the lubricating oil can be recycled to avoid a phenomenon that thecompressor 6 is burnt out due to operations with insufficient oil, so as to protect thecompressor 6. - In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
gas input pipe 2 and thegas output pipe 3 are each a copper pipe. The copper pipe has a good heat-conduction performance and a low cost, such that, by employing the copper pipe, the heat exchange effects of thegas input pipe 2 and thegas output pipe 3 with thecapillary 4 can be improved, and also, the cost can be reduced. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
gas input pipe 2 and thegas output pipe 3 may be respectively connected to theliquid reservoir 1 by welding. In other words, thegas input pipe 2 may be welded at thegas inlet 12, and thegas output pipe 3 may be welded at thegas output pipe 13. Thus, during mounting, thegas input pipe 2 and thegas output pipe 3 may be welded to theliquid reservoir 1 firstly, and then welded to theevaporator 8 as a whole. These operations are convenient and simple, such that a mounting efficiency can be improved, and a production cost can be reduced. - In conclusion, in the
liquid reservoir assembly 100 for the refrigerating system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, by attaching thecapillary 4 to thegas input pipe 2 and/or thegas output pipe 3, and by winging thecapillary 4 around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can achieve the heat exchange with the incompletely evaporated refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1, so as to completely liquefy the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 and to reach the supercooling effect, such that the supercooling degree can be increased, the refrigerating capacity per unit volume can be promoted, the refrigerating speed can be enhanced, the refrigerating efficiency can be further improved, and the energy consumption can be reduced. Moreover, theliquid reservoir 1 can reduce the filling quantity deviation of the refrigerant, and prevent the phenomenon of the excessive refrigerant or the insufficient refrigerant from occurring, such that the refrigerating speed can be further increased, and the refrigerating efficiency can be further improved. Meanwhile, since the heat exchange between the capillary 4 and theliquid reservoir 1 improves the purity of the refrigerant liquid in thecapillary 4, the noise produced by the airflow disturbance can also be reduced, the probability of the liquid strike phenomenon occurring in thecompressor 6 can be reduced, and hence a service life of thecompressor 6 can be prolonged. - The present disclosure further provides a
refrigerating system 200, as illustrated inFIG. 7 , the refrigeratingsystem 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes acompressor 6, acondenser 7, anevaporator 8 and a liquid reservoir assembly. - Specifically, the

Furthermore, the supercooling degree can be increased, the refrigerating capacity per unit volume can be promoted, the refrigerating speed can be enhanced, the refrigerating efficiency can be improved, and the energy consumption can be reduced. Meanwhile, the noise produced by the airflow disturbance can also be reduced, the probability of the liquid strike phenomenon occurring in thecompressor 6 can be reduced, and the service life of thecompressor 6 can be prolonged. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
gas input pipe 2 may be connected to theevaporator 8 by welding, such that the strength and the reliability of the connection between theliquid reservoir assembly 100 and theevaporator 8 can be enhanced, the manufacturing is facilitated, and the production cost is reduced. - The specific structure and the operation process of the

FIG. 7 , in the present embodiment, thecompressor 6 has anexhaust port 61 and agas return port 62, thecondenser 7 includes aleft condenser 71 and aright condenser 72, and ananti-condensation pipe 73 is connected between theleft condenser 71 and theright condenser 72 so as to prevent a condensation phenomenon from occurring to thecondenser 7. Theexhaust port 61 is connected to one end of theleft condenser 71, and the other end of theleft condenser 71 is connected to one end of theright condenser 72 through theanti-condensation pipe 73. Adry filter 9 is connected between the other end of theright condenser 72 and theliquid reservoir assembly 100, and thedry filter 9 is communicated with theinlet end 41 of thecapillary 4. - The
inlet end 41 of thecapillary 4 is bound to thegas input pipe 2 by thealuminum foil tape 5. Theoutlet end 42 of thecapillary 4 is wound around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1. Theoutlet end 42 of thecapillary 4 is connected to an inlet of theevaporator 8, and an outlet of theevaporator 8 is connected to theliquid reservoir 1 through thegas input pipe 2 by welding. Thegas output pipe 3 is connected to thecompressor 6. - When in operation, the
compressor 6 compresses the refrigerant in the compression chamber to work. After being compressed by thecompressor 6, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is discharged out of theexhaust port 61 of thecompressor 6, enters theleft condenser 71 and theright condenser 72 in turn to perform a heat dissipation, and further enters thecapillary 4 via theinlet end 41 of thecapillary 4 after being filtered by thedry filter 9, so as to achieve the heat exchange with the refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1. - After being throttled and depressurized by the
capillary 4, the refrigerant enters theevaporator 8 and absorbs heat in theevaporator 8, thus achieving a refrigerating operation. Then, the refrigerant enters theliquid reservoir 1 through thegas input pipe 2, achieves the heat exchange with the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 within theliquid reservoir 1, and returns to thecompressor 6 through thegas output pipe 3 to be compressed, thereby completing the circulation of the refrigerant in therefrigerating system 200. - Since the
capillary 4 is attached to thegas input pipe 2 and wound around the outer wall of theliquid reservoir 1, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can perform a further heat exchange with the refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1 during the circulation. - Specifically, the refrigerant liquid after being throttled and depressurized by the
capillary 4 can perform the heat exchange with the incompletely evaporated refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1. On one hand, the refrigerant in thecapillary 4 can be further completely liquefied into the refrigerant liquid under the action of the low-temperature refrigerant in theliquid reservoir 1, so as to reach the supercooling effect, such that the supercooling degree can be increased, and the refrigerating capacity per unit volume can be improved. Thus, the refrigerating effect can be promoted, the refrigerating speed can be increased, and the energy consumption can be reduced, so as to improve the purity of the refrigerant liquid entering theevaporator 8, and to reduce the noise produced by the airflow disturbance. - One the other hand, the incompletely evaporated refrigerant in the
