Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of radiators, in particular to a water chamber with a flow distribution function and a radiator. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the radiator is working, the anti-freezing liquid flowing out of the engine enters the upper water chamber from an inlet pipe, flows through the cooling pipe, and then enters the lower water chamber, and then flows into the engine through the outlet pipe, forming a cycle. The water chamber structure on the inlet side of the existing radiator in the industry is an internal hollow structure. The cooling liquid enters the inside of the water chamber, collides with the inner wall, and is then distributed to each cooling pipe on both sides.

[0003] When the flow rate of the cooling liquid is small, the cooling liquid will flow into the nearest cooling pipe, and the cooling liquid will not enter the cooling pipe close to the distal end of the inlet. In order to fully utilize the radiator, the flow rate and flow of the inlet water need to reach a certain value, and the cooling liquid can be distributed to the distal end of the cooling pipe. However, when the flow rate and flow of the inlet water increase, the internal pressure of the cooling liquid increases, which affects the structural reliability of the radiator. If the flow distribution of the cooling liquid into each cooling pipe is uneven, it will lead to the fact that the local cooling pipe is not fully utilized, and the performance of the radiator is reduced.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a water chamber with a flow distribution function to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present application provides a water chamber with a flow distribution function and a radiator, which effectively solves the problem that the flow distribution of the cooling liquid is uneven when entering the water chamber of the existing radiator due to structural reasons, and reduces the performance of the radiator.

[0015] Preferably, the number of the heat dissipation belts and the number of the heat dissipation pipes are both plural, and the plural heat dissipation belts and the plural heat dissipation pipes are arranged alternately between the water outlet chamber and the water chamber with flow distribution function.

[0016] According to the water chamber with flow distribution function of the present application, through the cooperation of the water chamber body, the water inlet and the flow distribution assembly, the internal cooling liquid can flow uniformly, all cooling pipes can be fully utilized, and the performance of the radiator is improved. The flow distribution assembly can make the cooling liquid entering the water chamber body from the water inlet be distributed, and flow uniformly inside the water chamber body.

[0035] According to a first aspect of the present application, a water chamber with a flow distribution function is provided, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The water chamber with a flow distribution function is used for a radiator, and can be used as a water chamber on the water inlet side of the radiator. The water chamber with a flow distribution function includes a water chamber body 1, a water inlet 2, and a flow distribution assembly.

[0036] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 4 The detailed structure of the water chamber body 1, the water inlet 2, and the flow distribution assembly of the water chamber with a flow distribution function will be described in detail.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment, the water chamber body 1 can be formed as a hollow cuboid member. The water chamber body 1 formed as a cuboid member is used to receive cooling liquid from the outside and for the passage of the cooling liquid, so that the cooling liquid flows from the water chamber body 1 to the water outlet chamber 9 described below. The water inlet 2 is used to receive cooling liquid from the outside, and the flow distribution assembly is used to distribute the cooling liquid entering from the water inlet 2, so that the cooling liquid flowing inside the water chamber body 1 is evenly distributed, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator is improved. Specifically, the water inlet 2 is arranged at one end of the water chamber body 1, and can be arranged at the lower end surface of the water chamber body 1. The inside of the water chamber body 1 is provided with a water inlet flow channel in communication with the water inlet 2, and the cooling liquid flows through the water inlet flow channel to the inside of the water chamber body 1. The flow distribution assembly is arranged in the water inlet flow channel, and can be used to distribute the cooling liquid and make multiple streams of cooling liquid flow to different positions inside the water chamber body 1. An included angle is arranged between the center line of the flow distribution assembly and the center line of the water inlet 2, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the center line of the flow splitting assembly can be a second center line L2, the center line of the water inlet 2 can be a first center line L1, and an included angle is formed between the first center line L1 and the second center line L2, so that the cooling liquid entering from the water inlet 2 can impact the flow splitting assembly from the side, and then be formed into multiple flow splits. As shown in the figure, Figure 4 As shown, in the case that the cooling liquid enters the inside of the water chamber body 1 from the water inlet 2, the cooling liquid abuts against the flow splitting assembly to form multiple water flows.

[0038] The water chamber with the flow splitting function is provided with a flow splitting assembly, so that the cooling liquid entering the inside of the water chamber body 1 from the water inlet 2 is split and uniformly flows in the inside of the water chamber body 1. The purpose of uniformly distributing by increasing the water inlet flow rate and the water inlet flow rate in the prior art is avoided, the increase of the internal pressure of the radiator is avoided, and the reliability of the radiator is ensured. At the same time, due to the uniform flow of the internal cooling liquid, all the radiator pipes 7 of the radiator are fully utilized, and the performance of the radiator is improved.

[0039] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment, the water inlet flow channel can include a rim portion connected with the inner side wall of the water inlet 2, and the middle portion of the flow splitting assembly is arranged in the rim portion. In order to facilitate the smooth and stable passage of the cooling liquid, the inside of the water chamber body 1 is provided with a water inlet flow channel, which is in communication with the water inlet 2, and the cooling liquid can enter the inside of the water chamber body 1 from the water inlet flow channel.

[0040] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment, the rim portion can include a first rim portion 401 and a second rim portion 402, both of which are connected with the inner side wall of the water inlet 2, and an arc-shaped flow channel 403 is formed between the first rim portion 401 and the second rim portion 402. The first rim portion 401 and the second rim portion 402 can both be formed into a rim with an arc, and the arc of the rim can match the circular arc of the water inlet 2, so that the cooling liquid can directly enter the arc-shaped flow channel 403 from the water inlet 2. The arc-shaped flow channel 403 can be formed into an arc-shaped groove for receiving the cooling liquid and splitting the cooling liquid.

[0041] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the embodiment, the shunt assembly can include a first shunt plate 301 and a second shunt plate 302, which are respectively arranged at the first edge portion 401 and the second edge portion 402, the first shunt plate 301 is away from the water inlet 2, and the second shunt plate 302 is close to the water inlet 2. The first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 can each be formed into a cuboid plate structure, the middle part of the cuboid plate structure overlaps the first edge portion 401 or the second edge portion 402, and the two ends of the cuboid plate structure are respectively located on both sides of the first edge portion 401 or the second edge portion 402, so as to guide the shunting of the cooling liquid and control the flow direction of the cooling liquid. Further, as shown, Figure 3 the middle lines of the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 can each be a second middle line L2, and the middle lines of the first edge portion 401 and the second edge portion 402 (not shown in the figure) can each be parallel to the first middle line L1, so that the middle lines of the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 and the middle lines of the first edge portion 401 and the second edge portion 402 also form an included angle, so that the cooling liquid can impact the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 from the side to achieve a more excellent shunting effect. Further, the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 are arranged staggered, when the cooling liquid enters from the water inlet 2, it first impacts the second shunt plate 302 and then impacts the first shunt plate 301, achieving secondary shunting.

[0042] Preferably, as shown, Figure 3 in the embodiment, the included angle between the first middle line L1 and the second middle line L2 is 30°-60°. That is, it can be understood that the inclination angle of the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 is 30°-60°. In the embodiment, the inclination angle of the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 is 45°, which can make the shunting uniform, but is not limited thereto. The user can adjust the inclination angle of the first shunt plate 301 and the second shunt plate 302 according to the use demand of the radiator, and then adjust the shunting range and size.

[0043] Preferably, as shown, Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the embodiment, the shunt assembly can further include a third shunt plate 303, which is arranged on the inner side wall of the water chamber body 1, and the third shunt plate 303 is close to the second shunt plate 302. The third shunt plate 303 can be formed into an elongated structure for dividing the inside of the water chamber body 1, so that the cooling liquid can be divided into two parts to flow. Further, referring to Figure 4After the first diversion plate 301 and the second diversion plate 302 divide the cooling liquid, a part of the cooling liquid flows along the upper part of the third diversion plate 303, and another part of the cooling liquid flows along the lower part of the third diversion plate 303, so that the flow of the cooling liquid in the water chamber body 1 is more uniform and sufficient.

[0044] Preferably, as shown in the embodiments, the length of the third diversion plate 303 is greater than the length of the second diversion plate 302, and the third diversion plate 303 is parallel to the end face of the water chamber body 1. Since the water chamber body 1 is formed in a cuboid structure, in order to divide the cooling liquid into two parts to flow, the length of the third diversion plate 303 needs to correspond to the length of the water chamber body 1, so the length of the third diversion plate 303 is greater than the length of the second diversion plate 302, so as to accommodate the cooling liquid divided by the second diversion plate 302. Figure 1 Figure 2 Preferably, as shown in the embodiments, the end of the water chamber body 1 provided with the water inlet 2 is also provided with an exhaust port 8, and the exhaust port 8 is connected with an expansion tank (not shown) for discharging water vapor in the water chamber body 1.

Figure 1 The use process of the water chamber with the diversion function is as follows: as shown in the embodiments, the cooling liquid enters from the water inlet 2 and enters the inside of the water chamber body 1 through the arc-shaped flow channel 403. When the cooling liquid flows in the arc-shaped flow channel 403, it is divided by the first diversion plate 301 and the second diversion plate 302 located on the first edge 401 and the second edge 402, and then forms multiple cooling liquid streams, which flow to different positions in the water chamber body 1 in different directions, so that the cooling liquid flows uniformly in the water chamber body 1.

[0046] Figure 4 The water chamber with the diversion function can make the cooling liquid in the inside flow uniformly by the cooperation of the water chamber body, the water inlet and the diversion assembly, so that all the cooling pipes are fully utilized, and the performance of the radiator is improved. The diversion assembly can divide the cooling liquid entering the inside of the water chamber body from the water inlet and make it flow uniformly in the inside of the water chamber body. The purpose of uniform distribution is achieved by increasing the water inlet flow rate and the water inlet flow in the prior art, the internal pressure of the radiator is avoided from increasing, and the reliability of the radiator is ensured.

[0047] In addition, as shown in the embodiments, according to the second aspect of the present application, a radiator is provided, which comprises the water chamber with the diversion function as described above.
