Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle air conditioners, and more specifically relates to a novel automobile heater side plate structure and a heater core assembly. Background Art

[0002] The car heater core and evaporator are two important parts of the car air conditioner, and their function is to achieve heat exchange between two different media (refrigerant and air). There are many specifications and types of car heater cores, and generally each car model will have a different heater core, but how to achieve the lightness, high efficiency and economy of the heater core has always been the premise of the development and design of the heater core.

[0003] As an important part of the automobile air-conditioning system, the car heater core is mainly used for heat exchange regulation of the car to ensure the ambient temperature inside the car and avoid overheating during driving or damage caused by excessively high external temperature, which would affect the normal driving of the car and cause danger.

[0004] The side plate structure of the existing heater core assembly includes an upper side plate respectively arranged on the upper side of the entire core assembly and a lower side plate respectively arranged on the lower side of the entire core assembly. The upper and lower side plates can effectively fix the fins on the upper and lower sides of the core assembly. In order to improve the fin fixing effect, the existing heater side plate structure is usually designed to be thicker, heavier, and has a high material cost. At the same time, the existing side plate structure design and the installation operation of the water chamber components on both sides are cumbersome and inefficient, and the effect of fixing the fins needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Problem to be solved

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing automobile side panel structure design, such as thick thickness and high material cost, the utility model provides a new automobile heater side panel structure, which can effectively solve the above problems and at the same time improve the convenience of installation and disassembly of the side panel structure, the overall strength of the shell and the fin fixing effect.

[0007] At the same time, the utility model also provides a heater core assembly having the above-mentioned heater side plate structure. The heater core assembly adopting this heater side plate structure has a lighter structure, lower manufacturing cost and is more convenient to install.

[0008] 2. Technical solution

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0010] The utility model provides a novel automobile heater side plate structure, which comprises an upper side plate and a lower side plate. The thickness of the upper side plate and the lower side plate are both below 0.8 mm.

[0011] It should be noted that the existing conventional side plate thickness is at least 1mm or more to ensure the use strength of the side plate and to ensure that it is not easy to deform during the assembly process. The warm air side plate structure of the utility model can further improve the heat transfer effect by optimizing the thickness of the upper and lower side plates, which can not only reduce power consumption loss, but also improve the performance of the warm air core; at the same time, in order to avoid the side plates being too thin, resulting in the side plates being unable to guarantee horizontality and the strength being to be improved, the utility model is provided with reinforcing ribs along the length direction of the upper and lower side plates, respectively, which can effectively solve the strength deficiency caused by the thin plate. In addition, in the more optimized warm air side plate structure, fin pressing ribs are also provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the upper and lower side plates, respectively, which can fix the fins to prevent the fins from falling off and the fins from being displaced, and are also conducive to further improving the overall strength of the side plates.

[0012] As a further improvement of the utility model, the upper side plate is provided with a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib symmetrically distributed along its length direction, and the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are arranged on both sides of the upper side plate, and the lower side plate is provided with a third reinforcing rib and a fourth reinforcing rib symmetrically distributed along its length direction, and the third reinforcing rib and the fourth reinforcing rib are arranged on both sides of the lower side plate. The reinforcing ribs symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower side plates can effectively ensure the horizontality of the side plate structure, prevent the problem of easy distortion and deformation caused by its too thin thickness, and thus significantly improve the overall strength of the side plate structure.

[0013] As a further improvement of the utility model, a first fin rib is provided near the first reinforcing rib, a second fin rib is provided near the second reinforcing rib, the first fin rib and the second fin rib are symmetrically distributed, a third fin rib is provided near the third reinforcing rib, a fourth fin rib is provided near the fourth reinforcing rib, and the third fin rib and the fourth fin rib are symmetrically distributed. The utility model can fix the fins and improve the fin fixing effect by providing symmetrically distributed fin ribs, and further improve the strength of the side plate structure.

[0014] As a further improvement of the utility model, positioning holes are symmetrically processed at both ends of the center position of the upper side plate or the lower side plate. The arrangement of the positioning holes facilitates the positioning of the side plate structure during processing, transportation and assembly of the core assembly.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, bosses are processed at both ends of the upper side plate along the width direction, and recesses are processed at both ends of the lower side plate along the width direction. By setting the bosses or recesses, it is convenient to rivet the upper and lower side plates on the water chamber components on both sides of the heater core assembly, which is easy to operate and greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0016] The utility model discloses an automobile heater core assembly, comprising a water chamber assembly, wherein the water chamber assemblies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the core assembly, the two water chamber assemblies are connected via a plurality of flat tubes arranged parallel to each other, and the utility model also comprises the above-mentioned heater side plate structure, wherein the two ends of the heater side plate structure are respectively installed and connected to the water chamber assemblies.

[0017] As a further improvement of the utility model, fins are also included. Fins are installed between adjacent flat tubes. The upper side plate is arranged above the fin at the uppermost end of the core body to fix the fin at the uppermost end of the core body assembly. The lower side plate is arranged below the fin at the lowermost end of the core body assembly to fix the fin at the lowermost end of the core body assembly. By adopting the side plate structure of the utility model, not only the structural support stability of the entire warm air core assembly can be increased, but also the fins can be protected to avoid wear and tear on the fins during assembly or use.

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model, but the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0034] At the same time, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation", "screw-on" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that for the sake of ease of description, the sizes of the various components shown in the drawings are not drawn according to actual proportions. For example, the thickness or width of certain layers may be exaggerated relative to other layers.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a new type of automobile heater side panel structure of this embodiment includes an upper side panel 1 and a lower side panel 2, the thickness of the upper side panel 1 and the lower side panel 2 are both below 0.8 mm, and the upper side panel 1 and the lower side panel 2 are respectively provided with reinforcing ribs along their length directions. Specifically, the upper side panel 1 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 101 and a second reinforcing rib 102 that are symmetrically distributed along its length direction, and the first reinforcing rib 101 and the second reinforcing rib 102 are provided near the edges of both sides of the upper side panel 1. The lower side panel 2 is provided with a third reinforcing rib 201 and a fourth reinforcing rib 202 that are symmetrically distributed along its length direction, and the third reinforcing rib 201 and the fourth reinforcing rib 202 are provided near the edges of both sides of the lower side panel 1.

[0038] In the prior art, the thickness of conventional heating side panels is at least 1 mm. The upper and lower side panels provided in this embodiment can further reduce the thickness of the side panels by setting reinforcing ribs, and can be made thinner and lighter, meeting the needs of lightweight development of automobiles. The thickness of the material used for the upper side panel 1 and the lower side panel 2 of this embodiment is reduced by at least 20%, and the strength of the side panel can be significantly improved by setting two symmetrical reinforcing ribs, ensuring the horizontality of the side panel, being able to withstand greater stress, and not being easily deformed by distortion. It can also meet the quality standard of tensile strength of traditional thick side panels, and after assembly, not only lightweight design is achieved, but also material costs are saved.

[0039] Furthermore, fin ribs are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2, and the fin ribs are arranged in the middle of the two reinforcing ribs. Specifically, a first fin rib 103 is arranged near the inner side of the first reinforcing rib 101, and a second fin rib 104 is arranged near the inner side of the second reinforcing rib 102. The first fin rib 103 and the second fin rib 104 are symmetrically distributed. A third fin rib 203 is arranged near the inner side of the third reinforcing rib 201, and a fourth fin rib 204 is arranged near the inner side of the fourth reinforcing rib 202. The third fin rib 203 and the fourth fin rib 204 are symmetrically distributed.

[0040] There are multiple groups of fin ribs, which can be designed according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, three groups are specifically provided in the upper side plate 1 and the lower side plate 2. The three groups of fin ribs are evenly spaced and are respectively provided at the two ends and the middle part of the side plate. The provision of the fin ribs can further prevent the side plate (including the upper side plate 1 and the lower side plate 2) from deformation and improve the strength of the side plate. On the other hand, the provision of the fin ribs can play a role in fixing the fin 3, preventing the fin 3 from falling off and displacement, and ensuring that the fin 3 can be stably fixed in the middle part of the side plate after assembly. Compared with the traditional side plate, the fixing effect of the fin 3 is significantly improved. In addition, the difficulty of operation is reduced during the assembly of the fin 3, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0041] As a further improvement of this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, positioning holes (i.e., a first positioning hole 105 and a second positioning hole 205) are symmetrically processed at both ends of the center position of the upper side plate 1 or the lower side plate 2. The arrangement of the positioning holes facilitates the positioning of the side plate structure during processing, transportation, and assembly of the core assembly.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the new side panel structure of the automobile in this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, and the difference between it and Embodiment 1 is that bosses 106 are symmetrically processed at both ends of the width direction of the upper side panel 1, and recesses 206 are symmetrically processed at both ends of the width direction of the lower side panel 2. By providing the bosses 106 or the recesses 206, it is convenient to rivet the upper and lower side panels on the water chamber components on both sides of the heater core assembly, which is easy to operate and greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0044] In addition, further, recesses 206 can be set at both ends of the upper plate 1, and bosses 106 can be set at both ends of the lower plate, both of which can achieve the above purpose and complete the convenient assembly of the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, this embodiment also provides a car heater core assembly, including a water chamber assembly, which is arranged on both sides of the core assembly, and the two water chamber assemblies are connected through a plurality of flat tubes 4 arranged in parallel with each other. The heater assembly of this embodiment adopts the heater side plate structure of embodiment 2, and the bosses 106 arranged at both ends of the upper side plate 1 are riveted with the water chamber assembly, and the recesses 206 arranged at both ends of the lower side plate 2 are riveted with the water chamber assembly to complete the installation connection. It also includes fins 3, and fins 3 are installed between adjacent flat tubes 4. The upper side plate 1 is arranged above the fins 3 at the uppermost end of the core assembly, and is used to fix the fins 3 at the uppermost end of the core assembly. The lower side plate 2 is arranged below the fins 3 at the lowermost end of the core assembly, and is used to fix the fins 3 at the lowermost end of the core assembly. By adopting the side plate structure of the utility model, not only can the structural support stability of the entire heater core assembly be increased, but also the protection of the fins 3 can be achieved to avoid wear and tear on the fins 3 during assembly or use. Finally, the assembled core assembly is put into the furnace for welding, the composite layer on the surface of the parts is melted at high temperature, and the flux flows into the matching gap of the parts to achieve the welding effect. More optimally, during high-temperature welding, the core will deform, so the reinforcing ribs set on the side plate structure of the utility model can increase its strength and prevent the core from deforming.

[0047] In addition, by using the utility model's heater side plate structure to assemble the heater core assembly, the material thickness of the upper and lower side plates and their structural design optimization can further improve the heat transfer effect, which can not only reduce power consumption loss, but also improve the performance of the heater core. Therefore, compared with ordinary cores, the utility model's heater core assembly has the advantages of light weight, good stability, high efficiency, large heating capacity, and more environmental protection.

[0048] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
