[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model provides the following technical solutions to solve the problem of weak welding between existing corrugated plates: a heat exchanger welded by corrugated plates, comprising a first corrugated plate 1 and a second corrugated plate 2 alternately stacked up and down, the edges of the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 are both provided with a circle of flange 10, both ends of the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 are both provided with liquid inlet and outlet, the bottom surfaces of the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 are arranged with corrugated lower concave portions 7 extending downward, the lower end surfaces of the corrugated lower concave portions 7 and the adjacent corrugated plates are arranged on the bottom surfaces of the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2. The top of the part between the corrugated concave parts 7 is provided with a corrugated plane 9, and the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 are arranged in opposite directions with a rotation of 180 degrees. The first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 are welded and connected through the contacting corrugated plane 9 as the first welding point A. The first welding point A formed by the corrugated plane 9 between the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 installed positively and negatively can realize the formation of capillary action under high temperature and high vacuum conditions in the vacuum brazing furnace, so that the solder coating on the surface of the plate sheet is melted, accumulated and solidified, thereby preventing the loss of solder without contact surface and ensuring the connection strength between the plates.
[0023] Specifically, the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 are formed by stamping and pressing of the plate, and the corrugated plane 9 needs to be formed during the stamping and pressing process, so the height, plane width and corrugation R angle of the corrugated lower recess 7 need to be greater than a certain design value to ensure that a certain corrugated plane 9 is present after stamping and forming.
[0024] Among them, the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 are placed in opposite directions, so the corrugated recessed portions 7 in opposite directions can be staggered to form a relatively large number of intersections, each intersection can form a first welding point A, and the corrugated recessed portions 7 are continuous or discontinuous in shape and can be set as needed.
[0025] The essence of capillary action is the attraction of the liquid surface to the solid surface, and the balance between the cohesive force between liquid molecules and the adhesive force between the liquid and the container molecules. In this embodiment, the first welding point A can gather the molten solder around the first welding point A, and after solidification, a relatively strong welding structure can be formed.
[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-2 As shown, the liquid inlet and outlet include a first liquid inlet and outlet 3 and a second liquid inlet and outlet 6 arranged side by side at both ends of the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2, wherein the edge of the first liquid inlet and outlet 3 is provided with a circle of bosses 4 extending downward, the bosses 4 on the first corrugated plate sheet 1 are tightly attached to the edge of the second liquid inlet and outlet 6 on the second corrugated plate sheet 2 of the next layer and form a second welding point B, and the bonding strength between the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 is improved by forming the second welding point B, and the bosses 4 and the second liquid inlet and outlet 6 are also in surface contact, and the welding strength is large.
[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, a third welding point C is formed between the flange portions 10 of the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2. The third welding point C is set by utilizing the contact position between the flange portions 10 to improve the bonding strength between the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2.
[0028] In order to further improve the strength of the heat exchanger, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sinking portion 5 is provided around the first liquid inlet and outlet 3 at a position connected to the flange portion 10, and the bottom of the sinking portion 5 of the first corrugated board sheet 1 contacts the corresponding bottom surface of the second corrugated board sheet 2 to form a fourth welding point D. The sinking portion 5 can not only improve the strength of the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2, but also improve the bonding strength between the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2 by setting the fourth welding point D.
[0029] In order to facilitate assembly, a marking groove 8 is provided on one side edge of the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2 to facilitate identification of the placement direction of the first corrugated board sheet 1 and the second corrugated board sheet 2 during assembly.
[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0031] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0032] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0033] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
