ABSTRACT:
To improve refrigerating efficiency by preventing working fluid flowing into a pulse tube from a high-temperature end side thereof from reaching a cooling part in a cryogenic refrigerator, a ball-shaped travel member which has almost the same cross-section as the cross section of the pulse tube is inserted into the pulse tube and moves together with the working fluid therein. In this arrangement, when the working fluid begins to flow into the pulse tube from a flow rate regulation part on the high-temperature end side of the pulse tube, the travel member located within the pulse tube moves toward a cooling part together with the working fluid flowing in the pulse tube. Since the travel member has almost the same cross-section as the cross-section of the pulse tube, there is no possibility that the working fluid flows through between the inner wall of the pulse tube and the travel member. Therefore, the travel member can reliably prevent the working fluid flowing into the high-temperature end of the pulse tube from reaching the cooling part, and thereby the refrigerating efficiency of the pulse tube refrigerator can be improved.
