[0021] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention better understood by the technical personnel in the field, and to make the above-mentioned features, purposes and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present invention includes: a water outlet joint 1 and a water baffle 2, one end of the water outlet joint 1 is integrally provided with an expansion notch 3, and the top of the expansion notch 3 is provided with a water baffle 2;
[0023] The expansion notch 3 includes a notch-shaped connecting pipe 4, a water flow guide plate 5 and a limit plate 6. The end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the water outlet joint 1 is provided with a water flow guide plate 5, and the top of the water flow guide plate 5 is provided with a limit plate 6 facing the water flow direction.
[0024] A water-blocking plate 2 is fixed on the top of the limiting plate 6 .
[0025] During use, the internal structure of the cooler does not need to be significantly changed, and the purpose can be achieved by simply changing the joint structure of the water outlet. This patent improves the water outlet structure of the existing EGR cooler and adds a water baffle to improve the performance and reliability of the cooler, which not only meets the performance requirements of the engine, but also greatly reduces the cost of transformation, thereby improving product competitiveness; this structure is not only easy to form, but also has stable quality; it is easy to use in production and reduces the loss of manpower hours.
[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the expansion notch 3 and the watertight plate 2 are fixed by spot welding.
[0027] The above structure is set up, and the expansion notch 3 and the water-blocking plate 2 are fixed together by spot welding to ensure that they will not be loose and avoid breakage under the impact of water flow.
[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 6 is preferably arc-shaped, and two opposite sides of the limiting plate 6 are arc-shaped retaining edges 7 .
[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the length of the arc-shaped retaining edge 7 is not less than half the length of the short side of the water flow guide plate 5 .
[0030] With the above structure, since there are arcuate ribs 7 on both sides of the limit plate 6 and the length of the arcuate ribs 7 is not shorter than half the length of the water flow guide plate 5, it can effectively guide, collect and merge the water flow.
[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, a through hole 8 is provided on the water flow guide plate 5 , and the through hole 8 is connected to the water inlet of the connecting pipe 4 and is integrally provided.
[0032] With the above structure, since the through hole 8 is integrally connected to the water inlet of the connecting pipe 4, it can be ensured that water can directly enter the connecting pipe 4 under the action of the limiting plate 6, and the water flow is smooth without overflow.
[0033] In the present embodiment, the water-blocking plate 2 is preferably in a "convex" shape, and the water-blocking plate 2 includes a first horizontal end 21 and a second horizontal end 22, wherein the first horizontal end 21 is located above the through hole 8, and the long side dimension of the second horizontal end 22 is the same as the long side dimension of the limiting plate 6.
[0034] By setting the above structure, the first horizontal end 21 is located above the through hole 8, which can effectively avoid the water flow from hitting the water baffle 2 and prevent the water flow from splashing out.
[0035] Preferably in this embodiment, arc-shaped ports 9 are provided on both short sides of the second horizontal end 22 .
[0036] The above structure is arranged to facilitate taking the whole device by utilizing the arc-shaped port 9, thus achieving the effect of facilitating use.
