Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air heat exchangers, and specifically relates to a tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube. Background Technique

[0002] The air heat exchanger is a core component of the air conditioning system, and its application range is very wide. It is mainly used for heat exchange between air and refrigerant, and can also be used for heat exchange between cold (hot) water and air, or heat exchange between hot oil and air. The heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger directly affects the efficiency of the air conditioning system.

[0003] The main structural form of the current air heat exchanger is the tube-fin type. Generally, the punched fins are sleeved on the heat exchange tube, and the fins are closely attached to the heat exchange tube through mechanical or hydraulic expansion tube. The refrigerant or coolant flows inside the tube, and the air flows outside the tube for heat exchange. Some heat exchangers use heat dissipation fins wound around the heat exchange tube and fixed by spot welding. Since there are gaps between the fins and the heat exchange tube, the heat exchange performance is seriously affected. Therefore, the volume of the air heat exchanger is relatively large and the cost is relatively high. At the same time, the fins are very thin, generally only 0.1-0.2 mm, which makes the fins very easy to deform due to collision, thus affecting the performance of the heat exchanger.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube to solve the problem that the heat exchange performance is seriously affected due to the gap between the fins and the heat exchange tube in the above-mentioned background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube, including a heat exchanger structure, the heat exchanger structure includes a heat exchanger matrix and heat dissipation fins installed on one side of the heat exchanger matrix. One end of the upper side of the heat exchanger matrix is provided with a collecting outlet pipe, and one end of the lower side of the heat exchanger matrix is provided with a collecting inlet pipe;

[0007] The surface of the heat dissipation fins is provided with ribs, and grooves are formed on the surface of the heat dissipation fins on the side opposite to the ribs.

[0008] Preferably, a tube hole is penetrated through the middle end of the heat dissipation fins.

[0009] Preferably, the heat exchanger matrix includes a heat exchange tube and a positioning piece sleeved on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube.

[0010] Preferably, a bent tube is installed between the same-side ports of the heat exchanger matrix.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] (1) A tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube provided by the present utility model has fins on the heat sink. The fins are used to increase the heat exchange area and position and distance. The entire heat sink is integrally cast. According to certain dimensions and positioning requirements, the heat exchange tubes are arranged, and aluminum alloy is used for casting outside the heat exchange tubes, and finally a whole is formed. The heat exchanger matrix is modularly designed and can be combined at will to meet different usage occasions.

[0013] (2) For a tube-fin integrated air heat exchange tube provided by the present utility model, when working, the coolant flows inside the tube, and the air flows outside the heat sink. Since the tube and fin are integrally cast, and at the same time the heat exchange tubes are arranged closely, and there are fins on the heat sink, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger structure is increased by more than 50% compared with the ordinary expanded fin heat exchanger. It can greatly reduce the weight of the heat exchanger, reduce the size of the heat exchanger, and improve the heat exchange efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The collection outlet pipe 13 is the coolant outlet, and the collection inlet pipe 14 is the coolant inlet.

[0020] The surface of the heat sink 12 is provided with fins 121, and a groove 122 is formed on the surface of the heat sink 12 on the side opposite to the fins 121. The groove 122 is used to position the distance between two heat sinks 12, leaving an air passage.

[0021] A tube hole 123 is formed through the middle end of the heat sink 12 for dissipating heat from the heat sink 12.

[0022] The heat exchanger base 11 includes heat exchange tubes 111 and positioning pieces 112 sleeved on the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes 111 to position multiple groups of arranged heat exchange tubes 111.

[0023] A bent pipe 113 is installed between the same-side ports of the heat exchanger base 11, and the bent pipe 113 is integrally bent.

[0024] In this embodiment: First, a single heat exchange tube 111 is bent into a snake shape through a mold, a positioning piece 112 is sleeved on the heat exchange tube 111, the heat exchange tube 111 bent into a snake shape and the bent pipe 113 are placed in a metal mold, multiple layers are placed according to a certain rule, and the melted aluminum alloy is injected into the metal mold for casting to obtain the heat sink 12. The heat sink 12 has fins 121 and grooves 122. According to needs, the heat sinks 12 are combined. When combining, the grooves 122 of one heat sink 12 are opposite to the fins 121 of another heat sink 12. The collecting pipes 13 and 14 are welded to form a radiator. Each group of heat exchange tubes forms a process. The heat sink 12 has fins 121, and the fins 121 are used to increase the heat exchange area and position and fix the distance.
