Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat exchangers, and more specifically to a heat exchanger with a built-in water tank. Background Technology

[0002] A heat exchanger is a cooling device. During use, the radiator receives a large amount of heat, causing the cooling water in the radiator to slowly evaporate.

[0003] As radiators are used for extended periods, the cooling water gradually decreases, leading to insufficient cooling water and affecting heat dissipation efficiency. This presents a technical problem of insufficient cooling water in radiators after prolonged use, necessitating the design of a heat exchanger with its own water tank.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat exchanger with a built-in water tank to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A heat exchanger with an integrated water tank, comprising:

[0008] A water supply component, comprising a water supply chamber and an inlet for supplying cooling water to the water supply chamber;

[0009] Cooling components, including multiple cooling channels communicating with the water supply chamber;

[0010] A water storage component, comprising a water storage cavity connected to the other end of a plurality of cooling channels, so that cooling water in the water supply component reaches the water storage component through the cooling component;

[0011] Water supply pipe, which is suitable for connecting water supply components and water storage components.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the water supply component and the water storage component are respectively connected to two ends of the cooling component;

[0013] The water storage device also includes a water outlet that communicates with the water storage cavity.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the water supply component further includes a water inlet;

[0015] The water inlet is adapted to be connected to the water supply chamber and the water supply pipe.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the water supply pipe is located outside the cooling component;

[0017] The two ports of the water supply pipe are connected to the water supply chamber and the water storage chamber, respectively.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the water supply pipe is separate from the cooling component;

[0019] The water supply pipe is made of a good conductor;

[0020] The water supply pipe is connected to the side of the water supply component.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, the water supply unit further includes a level gauge;

[0022] Both the water inlet and the water supply outlet are located on the side of the water supply unit.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the level gauge is located above the water supply unit;

[0024] The liquid level gauge penetrating the water supply component is located inside the water supply chamber.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the water supply component is provided with an air vent at its upper part;

[0026] The vent is connected to the water supply chamber so that the water vapor in the heat exchanger can be automatically discharged.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, the water supply component, cooling component, water storage component, and water supply pipe are all made of metal;

[0028] The water storage component is located below the water supply component and the cooling component.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It provides a heat exchanger with its own water tank. By using water supply components, cooling components and water storage components in cooperation, a heat exchanger with its own water tank is made. After the cooling water in the radiator is consumed, cooling water is replenished, so as to achieve the effect of providing cooling water to the inside of the radiator when it is in use. This avoids the reduction of radiator efficiency caused by the reduction of cooling water. At the same time, the newly added cooling water improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator.

[0042] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 3 At least one embodiment provides a heat exchanger with a built-in water tank, comprising: a water supply component 1, which includes a water supply chamber 13 and an inlet 12 for supplying cooling water to the water supply chamber 13, the cooling water reaching the water supply chamber 13 through the inlet 12; a cooling component 2, which includes a plurality of cooling channels communicating with the water supply chamber 13, the cooling water reaching the plurality of cooling channels of the cooling component 2 through the water supply chamber 13, during which the cooling water is cooled down; and a water storage component 3, which includes a water storage chamber 32 communicating with the other end of the plurality of cooling channels, so that the cooling water in the water supply component 1 reaches the water storage component 3 through the cooling component 2, i.e., connected to... The cooling water supplied by the water supply chamber 13, after being cooled by the cooling channel of the cooling component 12, is then supplied to the equipment that needs cooling; the water supply pipe 4 is adapted to connect the water supply component 1 and the water storage component 3, that is, to supply new cooling water to the radiator to replenish the part of cooling water that evaporates due to the temperature rise; the water supply component 1, the water storage component 3 and the water supply pipe 4 are connected to the external control system, the water supply component 1 and the water storage component 3 are connected to the cooling pipe of the external system, the cooling pipe is used to directly contact the equipment that needs cooling, and the water supply pipe 4 is connected to the water supply tank of the external control system.

[0044] In some embodiments, the water supply component 1 and the water storage component 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the cooling component 2 to form a water path for cooling water to pass through the cooling component 2; the water storage component 3 also includes a water outlet 31 connected to the water storage chamber 32 for discharging the cooling water cooled by the cooling component 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, the water supply component 1 further includes a water inlet 11 for providing supplemental water to the radiator; the water inlet 11 is adapted to be connected to the water supply chamber 13 and the water supply pipe 4.

[0046] In some embodiments, the water supply pipe 4 is located outside the cooling component 2; the two ports of the water supply pipe 4 are respectively connected to the water supply chamber 13 and the water storage chamber 32, and are used as channels for the supplementary water provided by the water supply pipe 4.

[0047] In some embodiments, the water supply pipe 4 is separate from the cooling component 2; the water supply pipe 4 is made of a good conductor to ensure that the water supply pipe 4 can dissipate heat and at the same time increase the heat dissipation efficiency; the water supply pipe 4 is connected to the side of the water supply component 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the water supply component 1 further includes a level gauge 14 for detecting the liquid level in the water supply chamber 13 and providing the detection result to an external control system. The external control system determines whether to add cooling water to the water supply chamber 13 based on the detection result. The water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are both located on the side of the water supply component 1 for easy connection with other mechanisms and pipelines.

[0049] In some embodiments, the level gauge 14 is located at the upper part of the water supply component 1; the level gauge 14 penetrates the water supply component 1 and is located in the water supply chamber 13 so that the level gauge 14 contacts the cooling water in the water supply chamber 13.

[0050] In some embodiments, the upper part of the water supply component 1 is provided with an exhaust port 15 for discharging water vapor in the water supply chamber 13. Water vapor in the water storage chamber 32, the water supply pipe 4 and the cooling channel will all be collected in the water supply chamber 13 and then discharged from the exhaust port 15. The exhaust port 15 is connected to the water supply chamber 13 so that water vapor in the heat exchanger can be automatically discharged.

[0051] In some embodiments, the water supply component 1, cooling component 2, water storage component 3, and water supply pipe 4 are all made of metal to ensure high heat dissipation efficiency; the water storage component 3 is located below the water supply component 1 and the cooling component 2 to facilitate the discharge of cooled water after cooling.

[0052] Working principle: Before using a heat exchanger with a built-in water tank, the water supply component 1, the water storage component 3, and the water supply pipe 4 are connected to the external control system. The water supply component 1 and the water storage component 3 are connected to the cooling pipe of the external system. The cooling pipe is used to directly contact the equipment that needs to be cooled. The water supply pipe 4 is connected to the water supply tank of the external control system. When using a heat exchanger with a built-in water tank: the external control system provides pressure to the radiator, so that the cooling water flows from the water supply chamber 13 through the cooling channel of the cooling component 2 and the water supply pipe 4 to the water storage chamber 32. Then, the cooling water in the water storage chamber 32 returns to the water supply chamber 13 through the outlet 31 and the cooling pipe of the external control system. When the level gauge 14 detects that the liquid level is too low, the external control system provides new cooling water to the water supply chamber 13 until the level gauge 14 reaches the required position. During this process, water vapor is discharged from the vent 15.
