Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiator technology, and in particular to a radiator. Background Technology

[0002] In light-duty trucks, the radiator assembly is a crucial component of the cooling system. Its primary functions are water storage and dissipation, aiming to protect the engine from overheating damage. It works by using cool air to lower the temperature of the coolant originating from the engine within the radiator. Under the operating conditions of light-duty trucks, the radiator's cooling surface is prone to blockage, leading to poor heat dissipation and requiring regular cleaning.

[0003] The existing radiator consists of an upper water chamber, a lower water chamber, and a radiator core. The radiator core is a single unit, composed of cooling water pipes and fins. The cooling water pipes are oblong, flat steel tubes, and the fins are corrugated tubes, fixed to the cooling water pipes by welding. This requires a high level of welding skill, is complex to manufacture, and the existing structure lacks disassembly capabilities, resulting in poor cleaning convenience and hygiene. Furthermore, when replacing with a high-power engine, the heat dissipation area is insufficient, making a universal design impossible.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a heat sink that can overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a heat sink that solves the problems of heat sink manufacturing process and ease of cleaning, as well as the problem of universal heat sink assembly.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A radiator includes: an upper water chamber, a lower water chamber, and multiple sets of detachable heat dissipation cores. Each heat dissipation core includes multiple partitions and a core disposed between the partitions. A partition of one heat dissipation core can form a sealed middle water chamber with a partition of another heat dissipation core. Each core includes a steel strip and a cooling water pipe. A locking mechanism is provided on the steel strip, and the cooling water pipe is fixed to the steel strip by the locking mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the partition of the heat dissipation core includes an upper partition, a lower partition, a left partition, and a right partition. The upper partition and the lower partition are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the core, and the left partition and the right partition are respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the core.

[0009] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the partition plate is provided with threaded holes, and the partition plates of two adjacent heat dissipation cores are connected by bolts to form a sealed water chamber.

[0010] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the partitions of two adjacent heat dissipation cores are connected by a quick-connect structure to form a sealed water chamber.

[0011] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the locking mechanism includes multiple steel bars, and by tightening the steel bars, the cooling water pipe is clamped onto the steel strip.

[0012] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the number of steel bars is 3.

[0013] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the steel strip is corrugated.

[0014] The above-described technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The heat sink locking steel strip structure design of the present invention facilitates disassembly and cleaning;

[0016] (2) The combined heat dissipation core structure can increase the heat dissipation effect and is also a universal design that is easy to process and manufacture. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0027] A radiator includes: an upper water chamber 1, a lower water chamber 2, and multiple sets of detachable heat dissipation cores 4. The heat dissipation cores 4 are detachable, and the heat dissipation area can be controlled by combining the cores, achieving a universal design for the radiator. Details are as follows:

[0028] The heat dissipation core 4 includes multiple partitions and a core 43 disposed between the partitions. The partitions of one heat dissipation core 4 can form multiple sealed water chambers 3 with the partitions of another heat dissipation core. The core includes a steel strip 45 and a cooling water pipe 44. A locking mechanism is provided on the steel strip 45, and the cooling water pipe 44 is fixed to the steel strip 45 by the locking mechanism.

[0029] Furthermore, the partitions of the heat dissipation core 4 include an upper partition 41, a lower partition 42, a left partition, and a right partition. The upper partition 41 and the lower partition 42 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the core 43, and the left and right partitions are respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the core 43. The partitions of the heat dissipation core can be combined with another core partition to form an intermediate water chamber, which can increase the time that the cooling water spends in the radiator, buffer the flow rate, and thus increase the heat dissipation.

[0030] The partitions are mainly connected in the following two ways:

[0031] One method involves setting threaded holes in the partition plate, and connecting the partition plates of two adjacent heat dissipation cores 4 with bolts to form a sealed middle water chamber 3. In other words, a sealed space is formed by bolt connection.

[0032] Another option is to use an upper and lower box structure, with the partitions of two adjacent heat dissipation cores 4 connected by a quick-connect structure to form a sealed middle water chamber 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes multiple steel bars 5. By tightening the steel bars 5, the cooling water pipe 44 is secured to the steel strip 45. The cooling water pipe first passes through the steel strip and the steel bar locking mechanism, which solves the complexity and integration of the welding process. The number of steel bars is preferably three.

[0034] The steel strip 45 is corrugated, and the corrugated blades have a louver design to prevent airflow.

[0035] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various different choices and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
