Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and more particularly to a high-efficiency tubular heat exchange structure for automobile heat exchangers. Background Art
[0002] The automotive heat exchanger is a key component used in vehicle engines and air-conditioning systems. Its main function is to achieve heat transfer and exchange to ensure that the engine and air-conditioning system operate within the optimal temperature range. The engine radiator is mainly used to cool the engine coolant and keep the engine at a suitable operating temperature. The engine oil cooling is an important condition that affects the engine performance.
[0003] There are two major categories of automobile engine heat exchangers. The shell and tube heat exchanger is a cylindrical shell in which many parallel tubes are arranged (these parallel tubes are called tube bundles). The cold and hot fluids flow through the space inside the tube (tube side) and the space outside the tube (shell side) respectively to exchange heat. The traditional shell and tube heat exchanger has a short tube path, and the exchange path and time of the two hot and cold fluids are both short, resulting in limited heat exchange efficiency. In order to increase the heat exchange time between the high-temperature fluid and the low-temperature fluid, the length of the tube bundle and the shell and tube is lengthened, which undoubtedly increases the external space occupied by the heat exchange structure, which has certain disadvantages, and the longer shell and tube or tube bundle increases the resistance to fluid flow.
[0004] To this end, we propose a high-efficiency tubular heat exchange structure for automotive heat exchangers to address the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the existing practical problems. Compared with the existing technology, a high-efficiency tubular heat exchange structure for an automobile heat exchanger is provided. The structure is achieved by adding a coaxially arranged discharge pipe, an inner spacer ring and an outer spacer ring inside the shell. The three divide the heat exchange space into an outer heat exchange chamber, a middle heat exchange chamber and an inner heat exchange chamber distributed from outside to inside and connected in an S shape. The cooling medium and the oil medium are subjected to countercurrent heat exchange treatment along the S-shaped path, which prolongs the heat exchange path and time and expands the heat exchange area of the two media. The outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber are respectively provided with spiral outer guide vanes, middle guide vanes and inner guide vanes, so that the cooling medium flows in a spiral shape in the outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber, so that the cooling medium fully exchanges heat. In addition, during the flow of the cooling medium, the spiral guide vanes rotate along its flow direction, play a continuous propulsion role, and reduce the flow resistance of the cooling medium.

[0009] Furthermore, the left circulation groove includes a left outer ring groove, a left middle ring groove and a left inner ring groove which are opened on the inner end wall of the left end cover from the outside to the inside and correspond to the positions of the outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber respectively, and a left overflow groove is opened between the left middle ring groove and the left inner ring groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the right circulation groove includes a right outer ring groove, a right middle ring groove and a right inner ring groove which are opened from the outside to the inside at the inner end of the right end cover and also correspond to the positions of the outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber.

Since the outer guide vanes, the middle guide vanes and the inner guide vanes are all spiral structures, their synchronous rotation with the tube bundle is beneficial to push the cooling medium flowing in the heat exchange cavity in the flow direction, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the cooling medium.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0017] The present scheme is to add a discharge pipe, an inner spacer ring and an outer spacer ring arranged coaxially inside the shell.

The outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber are connected from head to tail through a left flow groove arranged on the left end cover and a right flow groove arranged on the right end cover, forming an S-shaped structure. The cooling medium is introduced into the outer heat exchange chamber through the cooling medium inlet pipe, flows along the S-shaped path, and performs heat exchange treatment with the engine oil which also flows countercurrently in the S-shaped path. In addition, the spiral guide plate is arranged in a spiral structure, so that the cooling medium flows in a spiral shape in the outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber and the inner heat exchange chamber, which not only extends the heat exchange path, but also expands the heat exchange area of the two media, thereby realizing efficient heat exchange.
[0018] This solution also fixes the outer ring plate, the inner ring plate and the tube bundle located at the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity with the left end cover, and fixes the middle ring plate and the tube bundle located at the middle heat exchange cavity with the right end cover, and reversely drives the left end cover and the right end cover to rotate, and the outer guide vanes and the inner guide vanes in the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the same direction, and the middle guide vanes in the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the opposite direction. Since the outer guide vanes, the middle guide vanes and the inner guide vanes are all spiral structures, their synchronous rotation with the tube bundle is conducive to continuously circulating and pushing the cooling medium flowing in the heat exchange cavity in the flow direction, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the cooling medium.

[0042] See also Figure 9-11The oil medium to be cooled is injected into the left outer annular groove 201 of the left end cover 2 through the oil inlet pipe 10. The oil medium is introduced from the left outer annular groove 201 into the tube bundles 8 at the multiple outer heat exchange chambers, and then introduced into the right outer annular groove 301 of the right end cover 3 through the tube bundle 8, and then introduced into the tube bundle 8 at the middle heat exchange chamber through the right overflow groove 304 and the right middle annular groove 302, and then introduced into the left middle annular groove 202 of the left end cover 2 through the tube bundle 8 of the middle heat exchange chamber, and then introduced into the tube bundle 8 at the inner heat exchange chamber through the left overflow groove 204 and the left inner annular groove 203, and then introduced into the right inner annular groove 303 of the right end cover 3 through the tube bundle 8 of the inner heat exchange chamber, and finally discharged outwardly through the oil discharge pipe 12, so that the oil medium flows through the outer heat exchange chamber, the middle heat exchange chamber, and the inner heat exchange chamber in an S shape.

[0045] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment improves the heat exchange structure as follows:
[0046] See also Figure 12-Figure 15The left end cover 2 and the right end cover 3 are respectively connected with the left and right ends of the shell 1 for rotation. The left drive wheel 13 and the right drive wheel 14 for rotationally driving the left and right end covers 2 and 3 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer end walls. The left and right ends of the outer spacer ring 6 are fixedly connected with a pair of outer ring plates 41. The left and right ends of the inner spacer ring 7 and the discharge pipe 9 are fixedly connected with a pair of inner ring plates 43. The ends of the multiple tube bundles 8 located in the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity extend outward and penetrate the outer ring plate 41 and the inner ring plate 43 respectively and are fixed in the left outer ring groove 201 and the left inner ring groove 203 on the left end cover 2. The ends of the multiple tube bundles 8 located in the middle heat exchange cavity extend outward and penetrate the middle ring plate 42 and are fixed in the right middle ring groove 302 on the right end cover 3, so that the outer guide vanes 51, the inner guide vanes 53 and the tube bundles 8 at the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity rotate with the left end cover 2, and the middle guide vanes 51 and the tube bundles 8 at the middle heat exchange cavity rotate in the opposite direction with the right end cover 3.
[0047] The outer end wall of the left middle ring groove 202 is provided with a plurality of left connecting grooves 205 corresponding to the position of the middle heat exchange cavity, and the outer end wall of the right outer ring groove 301 and the right inner ring groove 303 is provided with a plurality of right connecting grooves 1 305 and right connecting grooves 2 306 corresponding to the positions of the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity, respectively.

The bundle 8 is fixedly connected to the right end cover 3, and reversely drives the left end cover 2 and the right end cover 3 to rotate. The outer guide vanes 51 and the inner guide vanes 53 in the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the same direction, and the middle guide vanes 52 in the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the opposite direction. Since the outer guide vanes 51, the middle guide vanes 52 and the inner guide vanes 53 are all spiral structures, they are conducive to pushing the cooling medium flowing in the heat exchange cavity in the flow direction during the synchronous rotation with the tube bundle 8, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the cooling medium.
[0048] In summary, the present invention is to add a discharge pipe 9, an inner spacer ring 7, and an outer spacer ring 6 coaxially arranged inside the shell 1, and the outer spacer ring 6, the inner spacer ring 7, and the discharge pipe 9 divide the heat exchange space into an outer heat exchange cavity, a middle heat exchange cavity, and an inner heat exchange cavity distributed from the outside to the inside, and the outer heat exchange cavity, the middle heat exchange cavity, and the inner heat exchange cavity are respectively provided with a spiral outer guide plate 51, a middle guide plate 52, and an inner guide plate 53, and the outer heat exchange cavity, the middle heat exchange cavity, and the inner heat exchange cavity are connected between the head and the tail through the left flow groove arranged on the left end cover 2 and the right flow groove arranged on the right end cover 3. The through grooves are interconnected and have an S-shaped structure. The oil medium is introduced into the left outer ring groove 201 of the left end cover 2 through the oil inlet pipe 10. The oil medium flows through the multiple tube bundles 8 of the outer heat exchange cavity, the middle heat exchange cavity, and the inner heat exchange cavity in the S-shaped path in sequence, and is discharged from the oil discharge pipe 12 on the right end cover 3. At the same time, the cooling medium is introduced into the outer heat exchange cavity through the cooling medium inlet pipe 11. The cooling medium flows along the S-shaped path from outside to inside through the inner heat exchange cavity, the middle heat exchange cavity, and the outer heat exchange cavity, and flows in the opposite direction with the oil medium to perform efficient heat exchange treatment;
[0049] The spiral guide vane 5 is arranged in a spiral structure, so that the cooling medium flows in the outer heat exchange cavity, the middle heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity in a spiral shape, which not only extends the heat exchange path, but also expands the heat exchange area of the two media.
[0050] In addition, by fixing the outer ring plate 41, the inner ring plate 43 and the tube bundle 8 located at the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity to the left end cover 2, and fixing the middle ring plate 42 and the tube bundle 8 located at the middle heat exchange cavity to the right end cover 3, the left end cover 2 and the right end cover 3 are driven in reverse to rotate, and the outer guide vanes 51 and the inner guide vanes 53 in the outer heat exchange cavity and the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the same direction, and the middle guide vanes 52 in the inner heat exchange cavity rotate in the opposite direction. Since the outer guide vanes 51, the middle guide vanes 52 and the inner guide vanes 53 all have a spiral structure, their synchronous rotation with the tube bundle 8 is conducive to continuously circulating the cooling medium flowing in the heat exchange cavity in the flow direction, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the cooling medium.
