[0002] The intercooler comprises a core body, a left air chamber and a right air chamber, and the left air chamber and the right air chamber are respectively connected to two ends of the core body.

[0003] When the intercooler is working, high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the core from the air inlet of the left air chamber, then enters the air cavity of the right air chamber and finally flows out from the air outlet of the right air chamber. The temperature difference between the inlet and outlet air cavities exceeds 100℃, which can easily cause the main plate welds near the left air chamber to break due to thermal stress; in addition, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas continuously pulses the left air chamber, causing the left air chamber to expand and contract continuously, which will drive the main plate of the core to reciprocate, which can easily cause fatigue fracture of the main plate of the core.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air chamber structure, an intercooler and a vortex supercharging device to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 An air chamber structure provided by the present application is described in detail.

[0050] In this embodiment, an air chamber structure is provided, and this air chamber structure is used to be connected with the core 4 so as to form an intercooler. It can be understood that this air chamber structure is a part of the intercooler.

[0051] Specifically, the air chamber structure includes an air chamber. Further, the air chamber is formed by a shell 1a. The air chamber has an air flow channel, which is connected to the core body 4. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be guided to the core body 4 through the air flow channel. In addition, the air flow channel is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet at both ends along its axial direction. The air outlet is connected to the core body 4. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the air flow channel through the air inlet and is input into the core body 4 from the outlet.

[0052] Specifically, the air chamber structure further includes a reinforcing connection member having a reinforcing portion.

[0053] Specifically, the spoiler component has a connecting portion and a spiral portion connected to the connecting portion, both of which extend along the axial direction of the air flow channel, wherein the connecting portion is close to the air inlet and the spiral portion is close to the air outlet, one end of the reinforcement portion is connected to the connecting portion, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the air chamber.

[0054] Furthermore, an airflow conducting channel is formed between the spoiler component and the airflow channel. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the airflow conducting channel through the air inlet. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gas passes through the spiral portion, the flow direction of the gas is changed and the flow rate of the gas is increased, thereby improving the cooling effect of the intercooler and shortening the cooling time.

[0055] In summary, the provision of the reinforcement portion increases the overall connection strength of the air chamber. Even if the high-temperature and high-pressure gas continuously impacts the air chamber in a pulsed manner, the reciprocating motion amplitude between the air chamber and the engine will be reduced, thereby reducing the reciprocating motion amplitude of the core 4, thereby improving the service life of the core 4 to a certain extent, and preventing the core 4 and the main plate 3 (the main plate 3 is arranged between the air chamber and the core 4) from being broken; in addition, the provision of the spoiler component can increase the flow rate of the gas and improve the cooling effect of the intercooler to a certain extent.

[0056] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcement part is a rib plate 1b, one end of the rib plate 1b is connected to the connection part at the air inlet and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the air chamber to fix the spoiler component to the air chamber.

[0057] Specifically, the rib plate 1b not only increases the strength of the air chamber and reduces the reciprocating motion of the core 4, but also plays a certain role in fixing the spoiler component.

[0058] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of rib plates 1b are provided, and the plurality of rib plates 1b are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion.

[0059] Specifically, the plurality of ribs 1b can fix the air chamber from different directions to ensure the strength of the air chamber along the circumferential direction.

[0060] Furthermore, four rib plates 1b are provided, and the four rib plates 1b are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion.

[0061] Furthermore, the rib plate 1b has a plate-like structure.

[0062] It is worth noting that the rib plate 1b may also be in other shapes, such as an arc-shaped structure, and rib plates 1b in other shapes are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0063] In this embodiment, the spoiler member includes a connecting rod that can serve as a connecting portion and a spoiler spiral column 1 e that can serve as a spiral portion.

[0064] Specifically, the connecting rod is close to the air inlet end of the air chamber, and the spoiler spiral column 1e is close to the air outlet end of the air chamber.

[0065] Specifically, a spiral groove 1c is provided on the spoiler spiral column 1e. When high-temperature and high-pressure gas passes through the airflow conduction channel, the spiral groove 1c increases the flow velocity of the airflow, thereby improving the working efficiency of the intercooler.

[0066] Furthermore, a plurality of spiral grooves 1c are provided, and the plurality of spiral grooves 1c are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spoiler spiral column 1e.

[0067] In this embodiment, the spoiler component further includes a guide hole 1d; the guide hole 1d penetrates the connecting rod and the spoiler spiral column 1e;

[0068] During actual use, the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow will not only flow into the air chamber from the airflow guide channel, but also be guided into the air chamber from the guide hole 1d, thereby further increasing the airflow introduction efficiency.

[0069] Embodiment 2

[0070] In this embodiment, an intercooler is also provided. The intercooler includes a core 4 and the above-mentioned air chamber structure.

[0071] Specifically, the air chamber structures are respectively located on both sides of the core 4 , one of the air chambers is the left air chamber 1 , and the other air chamber is the right air chamber 2 .

[0072] In actual use, high-temperature and high-pressure gas can pass through the left air chamber 1, the core 4 and the right air chamber 2 in sequence.

[0073] In this embodiment, the left air chamber 1 and the core 4 as well as the right air chamber 2 and the core 4 are connected via the main piece 3 .

[0074] In summary, the setting of the reinforcement parts in the left air chamber 1 and the right air chamber 2 increases the overall connection strength between the left air chamber 1 and the right air chamber 2. Even if the high-temperature and high-pressure gas continuously impacts the air chamber in a pulsed manner, the reciprocating motion amplitude between the air chamber and the engine will be reduced, thereby reducing the reciprocating motion amplitude of the core 4, thereby improving the service life of the core 4 to a certain extent and avoiding the core 4 and the main plate 3 from being broken; in addition, the setting of the spoiler component can increase the flow rate of the gas and improve the cooling effect of the intercooler to a certain extent.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
