[0045] For the purpose of clearly expressing the technical solutions and technical advantages of the present application, the technical solutions in the present application will be further clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0046] The present application provides a three-medium heat exchanger embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, which comprises a first manifold 1 and a second manifold 2, and further comprises a plurality of first heat exchange tubes 31 and second heat exchange tubes 32 arranged in parallel and at a distance. Figure 1 Figure 2 ​As shown, the first manifold 1 is a combined structure composed of a manifold part 10 and a first flow distribution plate 11. The manifold part 10 is provided with an open surface 100 and at least one fluid passage 101. The open surface 100 is provided with a plurality of flow distribution holes 102 communicating with the fluid passage 101. The first flow distribution plate 11 has a soldering surface 110 provided with a solder layer. The soldering surface 110 is provided with a plurality of concave flow distribution cavities 111. Each flow distribution cavity 111 is provided with a first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112. The first heat exchange tube 31 is inserted and soldered in the first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112. The medium tube and the flow distribution cavity 111 are in communication. The open surface 100 and the soldering surface 110 are soldered together. The flow distribution cavity 111 communicates with the fluid passage 101 through one or a group of flow distribution holes 102.

[0047] It should be explained that the above-mentioned "each flow distribution cavity 111 communicates with the fluid passage 101 through one or a group of flow distribution holes 102" means that when the first flow distribution plate 11 is installed on the manifold part 10, each flow distribution cavity 111 can communicate with one, two or a plurality of flow distribution holes 102, i.e. the number of flow distribution holes 102 corresponding to a single flow distribution cavity 111 on the open surface 100 can be one, two or a plurality.

[0048] In the structure of the embodiment, the second manifold 2 includes a fluid chamber 20 and a second flow distribution plate 21. The second flow distribution plate 21 is provided with a plurality of second heat exchange tube insertion holes 210. The first manifold 1 and the second flow distribution plate 21 are in sequence and parallel. The fluid chamber 20 and the second flow distribution plate 21 are welded or crimped to realize connection. After combination, they form a closed cavity structure for the second fluid manifold. The second flow distribution plate 21 is also provided with a plurality of first heat exchange tube through holes 211 arranged in parallel. The first heat exchange tube through holes 211 are coaxially corresponding to the first heat exchange tube insertion holes 112 and equal in number. The first heat exchange tube through holes 211 and the second heat exchange tube insertion holes 112 are arranged alternately. The first heat exchange tube 31 communicates with the medium passage of the first manifold 1 in correspondence. The second heat exchange tube 32 communicates with the medium passage of the second manifold 2 in correspondence, forming a three-medium heat exchanger.

[0049] In the structure of the embodiment, the first heat exchange tube through hole 211 is coaxial with the first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112. The aperture of the first heat exchange tube through hole 211 is not less than the aperture of the first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112.

[0050] The second flow equalization plate 21 is provided with an installation groove facing the fluid chamber 20. The second heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 and the first heat exchange tube through hole 211 are formed parallel to each other at the bottom of the installation groove. The heat exchange surface of the first heat exchange tube 31 and the heat exchange surface of the second heat exchange tube 32 are attached to each other along the fluid flow direction, forming a structure in which the adjacent heat exchange surfaces of two flat tubes in a tube group are attached together and the fluids are isolated from each other.

[0051] In this embodiment, both the manifold section 10 and the first flow equalization plate 11 are located within the fluid chamber 20, and the first flow divider 1 and the second flow divider 2 constitute an inner and outer dual-channel structure.

[0052] In the structure of this embodiment, the manifold section 10 is a parallel flow flat tube with a multi-channel structure, and each channel has one or more flow equalization holes on the same wall surface of the manifold section 10.

[0053] In another embodiment of the present invention, the second flow equalization plate 21 is provided with a mounting groove facing the fluid chamber 20, and the second heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 is formed at the bottom of the mounting groove. The first heat exchange tube through hole 211 and the second heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 are spaced apart on the second flow equalization plate 21.

[0054] Unlike the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, the first heat exchange tube through hole 211 and the second heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 are not adjacent to each other on the mounting groove, but are spaced apart on the second flow equalization plate 21 along the length direction of the second flow equalization plate 21.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first flow equalization plate 11 includes a plug-in plate 24 and a mounting plate 25 that are attached and connected to each other. The plug-in plate 24 forms a mating surface 241 and a first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112. The first heat exchange tube 31 is inserted into and brazed in the first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 through the mating surface 241. The mounting plate 25 forms the brazing surface 110 and a connecting hole 251 that passes through the mounting plate 25.

[0056] The side port of the first heat exchange tube insertion hole 112 away from the mating surface 21 extends in a direction away from the first flow equalization plate 11 to form an annular mounting protrusion.

[0057] The two ports of the connecting hole 251 are flush with the two surfaces of the mounting plate 25, the mounting protrusion is inserted into the connecting hole 251, and the mounting protrusion does not protrude from the brazing surface 110; or the side port of the connecting hole 251 away from the brazing surface 110 extends away from the mounting plate 25 to form a ring-shaped connecting protrusion 252, the mounting protrusion and the connecting protrusion 252 are sleeved with each other, and the mounting protrusion does not protrude from the brazing surface 110.

[0058] Compared with the heat exchanger in the related art, the three-medium heat exchanger has the following advantages: the volume of the fluid passage 101 can be reduced and the pressure-bearing capacity thereof can be increased, and the filling amount of the circulating working medium can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of environmental pollution; in addition, since the volume of the fluid passage 101 can be reduced, the occupied volume of the three-medium heat exchanger can be reduced, so that the three-medium heat exchanger can meet the use requirement of a small space, thereby expanding the application range thereof.

[0059] For the convenience of understanding, the difference between the three-medium heat exchanger and the existing heat exchanger will be described below.

[0060] As disclosed in Chinese Patent CN210051186U, a three-medium heat exchanger has a structure that directly leads to the height of the distributor being almost three times the maximum width of the matched flat tube; Chinese Patent CN110530177A discloses a three-medium heat exchanger, CN113606961A discloses a three-medium heat exchanger with an auxiliary heat exchange structure, and CN216115589U discloses a distributor structure of a multi-medium heat exchanger. The distributors of the three patents are different from the early welding scheme, which avoids excessive heat capacity at the intermediate partition plate and effectively improves the welding quality. However, the distributor structures of the three patents are essentially similar, all of which select a hollow cylinder with a circular or "D" shaped cross-section as the high-pressure side distributor, and use the plug-in method for brazing, which causes the height to be still greater than the maximum width of the matched flat tube. Optimization based on such structures cannot avoid the limitation that the first cavity after plugging is greater than the maximum width of the flat tube, and the structure of the three-medium heat exchanger still cannot meet the use requirement of a small space, and the heat exchanger structure still needs to be improved.

[0061] It should be noted that the structure of the heat exchanger in the related art has limitations in structure and processing (i.e., only holes can be punched on the pipe of the distributor to realize the welding of the heat exchange tube), which leads to the fact that the hole diameter of the existing distributor must be greater than the maximum width of the flat tube, otherwise the punching and welding requirements of the heat exchange tube cannot be met.

[0062] The distribution structure of the three-medium heat exchanger divides the first distribution flow device 1 into two independent distribution pipe parts 10 and first flow equalizing plates 11, realizes the flow direction of the heat exchange medium through the distribution pipe parts 10, and realizes the installation of the heat exchange pipes through the first flow equalizing plates 11, so that the distribution structure of the present application does not need to punch holes directly on the fluid channel 101, and the inner diameter of the fluid channel 101 can be designed to be smaller, so as to reduce its volume, increase its pressure bearing capacity, and reduce the filling amount of the circulating working medium, thereby reducing the risk of environmental pollution. In addition, since the first distribution flow device 1 can be designed to be smaller, the overall size of the three-medium heat exchanger can be designed to be smaller, thereby meeting the use requirements of the three-medium heat exchanger in a small space.

[0063] The present application also provides a processing method of a three-medium heat exchanger, which is used for batch production of the three-medium heat exchanger and at least includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 1: The flow equalizing small holes 102 are punched on the opening surface 100 of the distribution pipe part 1 produced by the extrusion profile process by using the electric spark discharge punching or mechanical drilling and milling process; the concave flow equalizing cavity 111 and the first heat exchange pipe insertion hole 112 are formed on the first flow equalizing plate 11 by using the stretching stamping process on the plate material with a solder layer, and the first heat exchange pipe through hole 211 and the second heat exchange pipe insertion hole 210 are formed on the second flow equalizing plate 21 by using the stretching stamping process;

[0065] Step 2: Each of the first heat exchange pipes 31 is inserted into one of the first heat exchange pipe insertion holes 112 through the first heat exchange pipe through hole 211, each of the second heat exchange pipes 32 is inserted into the second heat exchange pipe insertion hole 210, and the two heat exchange pipes are arranged in mutual adhesion, partial adhesion or interval according to the process requirements;

[0066] Step 3: The opening surface 100 of the distribution pipe part 10 of the first distribution flow device 1 is adhered to the brazing surface 110 of the first flow equalizing plate 11, and the first distribution flow device 1 and the second flow equalizing plate 21 are arranged in parallel in sequence to complete the assembly of the heat exchanger;

[0067] Step 4: The assembled heat exchanger is placed in a brazing furnace to complete the brazing sealing;

[0068] Step 5: The fluid chamber 20 is welded or pressed to the second flow equalizing plate 21 to complete the assembly of the heat exchanger.

[0069] The present application also provides a heat pump air conditioning system, which includes one or more heat exchangers, and at least one of the heat exchangers is the three-medium heat exchanger structure described in any of the embodiments.

[0070] It should be pointed out finally that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the same; and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features thereof can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
