Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intercoolers, and particularly relates to an intercooler which is convenient to clean. Background Art

[0002] An intercooler is actually a supporting component for a turbocharger, and its function is to improve the air exchange efficiency of an engine, and it is widely used in major automobile manufacturers. The existing patent (publication number: CN219176435U) discloses an intercooler. This utility model blocks external impurities and insects by setting a rectangular frame and a metal barrier net, avoiding impurities from adsorbing on the outside of the intercooler body and reducing its heat exchange area with the outside. At the same time, the metal barrier net can be pulled out for cleaning to prevent impurities from blocking the heat dissipation channel. However, in actual application, since the intercooler body only uses side plates to protect the base tubes and fins located in the middle, and due to the simple structure of the side plates, they cannot bear large impacts, making the side plates prone to serious deformation, affecting the stability of the intercooler body. For this reason, we propose an intercooler which is convenient to clean. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an intercooler which is convenient to clean.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] Design an intercooler which is convenient to clean, including a pair of transition grooves connected with a main pipe. An reinforcing frame is installed between the transition grooves. A base tube with both ends communicating with the transition grooves is arranged in the reinforcing frame. Support pieces are arranged between the inner wall of the reinforcing frame and the base tubes at the edge. The support pieces include a plurality of V-shaped units connected end to end. Fins are arranged between adjacent base tubes. Frameworks are detachably connected to the upper and lower sides of the reinforcing frame, and barrier nets are movably arranged in the frameworks.

[0006] In the above solution, the framework includes a base frame with a magnetic coating I coated on its surface. The barrier net is connected inside the base frame. A limiting piece is connected to the top of the base frame. Heat dissipation openings corresponding to the fins are arranged on the surface of the limiting piece. Brush hairs connected to the inner wall of the limiting piece are arranged between adjacent heat dissipation openings. A limiting cover plate is arranged at the front end of the base frame.

[0007] In the above solution, the surface of the limiting piece is coated with a magnetic coating II with the opposite magnetism to that of the magnetic coating I. A handle is installed at the front end of the limiting piece, and the other end of the limiting piece is hinged to the base frame.

[0008] In the above solution, positioning plates are fixed on both sides of the reinforcing frame, and the positioning plates are connected to the transition grooves through fasteners.

[0009] In the above solution, the limit cover plate is connected to the barrier net. A second magnetic coating is also applied to the surface of the limit cover plate, and a handle is installed on the limit cover plate.

[0010] In the above solution, one end of the base frame away from the limit cover plate is provided with a fixing plate. A first screw is threadedly connected to the fixing plate. A magnetic sheet is fixed to the bottom end of the first screw. A connecting block is fixed to the reinforcing frame. Magnetic attraction grooves are formed at both the upper and lower ends of the connecting block. The magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction grooves is opposite to that of the magnetic sheet.

[0011] In the above solution, limiting mechanisms are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the transition groove. The limiting mechanism includes a mounting plate fixed to the transition groove. A second screw pointing to the base frame is threadedly connected to the mounting plate. A magnetic attraction plate with a magnetic attraction opposite to that of the first magnetic coating is connected to the end of the second screw.

[0012] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By providing a reinforcing frame and support pieces, a protective layer is constructed outside the base pipe and the fins by using the reinforcing frame to prevent the base pipe and the fins from directly contacting the outside world. In cooperation with the support pieces, a transition structure is formed between the base pipe at the edge and the inner wall of the reinforcing frame. Combining with the V-shaped structure of the support pieces, the structural strength of the support pieces is improved. Compared with the prior art, when the reinforcing frame is subjected to a strong impact, the V-shaped structure of the support pieces will provide sufficient supporting force to the reinforcing frame to resist the deformation of the reinforcing frame, thereby reducing or avoiding the deformation of the reinforcing frame, effectively improving the stability of the base pipe and the fins, and thus ensuring the stable operation of the intercooler. By providing a base frame, a limiting piece, a brush, a barrier net and a limit cover plate, the barrier net is installed by using the base frame. In cooperation with the limiting piece, the barrier net is limited from above, and the barrier net is loaded and unloaded by a pulling method, which is convenient to use. Compared with the prior art, when the barrier net is pulled, friction is generated between the brush and the surface of the barrier net, thereby initially cleaning the surface of the barrier net and reducing the subsequent cleaning time. When too much impurities adhere to the brush, the brush can be exposed by turning the limiting piece upwards, which is convenient for cleaning the brush. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following combines the accompanying drawings and embodiments to further describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an intercooler that is easy to clean, including a pair of transition grooves 1 connected to a main pipe 2, a strengthening frame 5 is installed between the transition grooves 1, a base pipe 3 with both ends communicating with the transition grooves 1 is arranged inside the strengthening frame 5, a support piece 6 is arranged between the inner wall of the strengthening frame 5 and the base pipe 3 at the edge, the support piece 6 includes a plurality of V-shaped units connected end to end, and fins 4 are arranged between adjacent base pipes 3;

[0021] Specifically, by setting the strengthening frame 5 and the support piece 6, using the strengthening frame 5 to construct a protective layer outside the base pipe 3 and the fins 4 to prevent the base pipe 3 and the fins 4 from directly contacting the outside world, and cooperating with the support piece 6 to form a transition structure between the base pipe 3 at the edge and the inner wall of the strengthening frame 5. Combining with the V-shaped structure of the support piece 6, the structural strength of the support piece 6 is improved. Compared with the prior art, when the strengthening frame 5 is subjected to a strong impact, the V-shaped structure of the support piece 6 will provide sufficient supporting force to the strengthening frame to resist the deformation of the strengthening frame 5, thereby reducing or avoiding the deformation of the strengthening frame 5, effectively improving the stability of the base pipe 3 and the fins 4, and thus ensuring the stable operation of the intercooler.

[0022] The upper and lower sides of the strengthening frame 5 are detachably connected with a frame, and a barrier net 9 is movably arranged inside the frame;

[0023] Furthermore, the frame includes a base frame 8 with a magnetic coating I on its surface, which endows the base frame 8 with a magnetic force. The barrier net 9 is connected inside the base frame 8. A limiting piece 10 is connected to the top of the base frame 8. The barrier net 9 is fully limited by the base frame 8 and the limiting piece 10. Heat dissipation openings 11 corresponding to the fins 4 are provided on the surface of the limiting piece 10, so that the fins 4 can dissipate heat outward after absorbing the heat of the base tube 3. Brush hairs 21 connected to the inner wall of the limiting piece 10 are provided between adjacent heat dissipation openings 11. The brush hairs 21 are arranged along the length direction of the base tube 3. A limiting cover plate 13 is provided at the front end of the base frame 8;

[0024] Furthermore, a magnetic coating II with a magnetic property opposite to that of the magnetic coating I is coated on the surface of the limiting piece 10, so that the limiting piece 10 and the base frame 8 are adsorbed to each other under the magnetic force, enabling the limiting piece 10 to be stably connected to the base frame 8. A handle 12 is installed at the front end of the limiting piece 10, and the other end of the limiting piece 10 is hinged to the base frame 8, facilitating the up-and-down flipping of the limiting piece 10;

[0025] Furthermore, positioning plates 7 are fixed on both sides of the strengthening frame 5. The positioning plates 7 are connected to the transition groove 1 through fasteners; the positioning plates 7 are parallel to the surface of the transition groove 1, and installation grooves for cooperating with the fasteners are provided on the transition groove 1, facilitating disassembly and assembly;

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting cover plate 13 is connected to the barrier net 9, and a magnetic coating II is also coated on the surface of the limiting cover plate 13, so that the limiting cover plate 13 and the base frame 8 are adsorbed to each other under the magnetic force, enabling the barrier net 9 to be stably connected inside the base frame 8. A handle 14 is installed on the limiting cover plate 13, and by controlling the handle 14, the barrier net 9 can be pulled out;

[0027] Specifically, by providing the base frame 8, the limiting piece 10, the brush hairs 21, the barrier net 9 and the limiting cover plate 13, the base frame 8 is used to install the barrier net 9. In cooperation with the limiting piece 10, the barrier net 9 is limited from above. The barrier net 9 is loaded and unloaded by pulling. It is convenient to use. Compared with the prior art, when the barrier net 9 is pulled, friction is generated between the brush hairs 21 and the surface of the barrier net 9, thereby initially cleaning the surface of the barrier net 9 and reducing the subsequent cleaning time. When too many impurities adhere to the brush hairs 21, by flipping the limiting piece 10 upward, the brush hairs 21 can be exposed, facilitating the cleaning of the brush hairs 21.

[0028] Furthermore, a fixing plate 16 is provided at one end of the base frame 8 away from the limit cover plate 13. A first screw 17 is threadedly connected to the fixing plate 16. A magnetic sheet 18 is fixed to the bottom end of the first screw 17. A connecting block 15 is fixed to the reinforcing frame 5. Magnetic suction grooves 19 are formed at both the upper and lower ends of the connecting block 15. A third magnetic coating with a magnetic property opposite to that of the magnetic sheet 18 is coated on the inner wall of the magnetic suction groove 19, so that the magnetic sheet 18 and the inner wall of the magnetic suction groove 19 are adsorbed to each other by magnetic force, thereby stably connecting the base frame 8 and the reinforcing frame 5. By rotating the first screw 17, the magnetic sheet 18 contacts and then adsorbs to the magnetic suction groove 19;

[0029] Furthermore, limiting mechanisms 20 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the transition groove 1. The limiting mechanism 20 includes a mounting plate 201 fixed to the transition groove 1. A second screw 202 pointing to the base frame 8 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 201. The end of the second screw 202 is movably connected to a magnetic suction plate 203 with a magnetic property opposite to that of the first magnetic coating. A fourth magnetic coating is coated on the magnetic suction plate 203, and the magnetic property of the fourth magnetic coating is opposite to that of the first magnetic coating. By rotating the second screw 202, the magnetic suction plate 203 gradually approaches the base frame 8. When the magnetic suction plate 203 and the base frame 8 are in mutual contact, the two are adsorbed to each other under the action of magnetic force, thereby assisting in the stable connection between the base frame 8 and the transition groove 1, and thus enhancing the stability of the frame and the barrier net 9.

[0030] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
