Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the present utility model will be described in detail as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] To solve the above problems, the present utility model provides a condenser and a vehicle having the same, and the condenser can sufficiently dry the refrigerant.

[0026] Figure 1 Shown is the schematic axonometric view of the condenser provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 2 Shown as Figure 1 Schematic top view of the condenser therein, Figure 3 Shown as Figure 1 Schematic front view of the condenser therein, Figure 4 Shown as Figure 3 Schematic cross-sectional view in the direction of IV-IV of the condenser therein. As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the condenser provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a dryer 10, a first refrigerant inlet (not shown in the figure) and a first refrigerant outlet 11 are provided on the dryer 10, and a flow channel 12 for the refrigerant to flow is formed in the dryer 10 (see Figure 4 ), the flow channel 12 is meanderingly connected between the first refrigerant inlet and the first refrigerant outlet 11, and a drying bag 20 is provided in the flow channel 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, by the meandering arrangement of the flow channel 12, the length of the flow channel 12 can be significantly increased under the condition of limited space of the dryer 10, and the contact distance between the flow channel 12 and the drying bag 20 can be increased, so that the condenser can sufficiently dry the refrigerant.

[0028] Please continue to refer to Figure 4, in order to increase the length of the flow channel 12, in this embodiment, the first refrigerant inlet and the first refrigerant outlet 11 of the dryer 10 may be arranged at two diagonals on the upper surface of the dryer 10 (for the sake of easy understanding, in the Figure 4 cross-sectional view, a circle is used to represent the first refrigerant inlet and the first refrigerant outlet 11 on the dryer 10).

[0029] The dryer 10 may be in the shape of a flat box, and a plurality of partition plates 13 are arranged in the dryer 10. The plurality of partition plates 13 are arranged in parallel and staggered to form a meandering flow channel 12 for the refrigerant to flow in the dryer 10. In other words, one end of one partition plate 13 is connected to the inner wall of the first side of the dryer 10, and there is a gap between the other end and the inner wall of the second side of the dryer 10. The inner walls of the first side and the second side of the dryer 10 are arranged opposite to each other, and one end of another partition plate 13 adjacent to this partition plate 13 is connected to the inner wall of the second side of the dryer 10, and there is a gap between the other end and the inner wall of the first side of the dryer 10.

[0030] The drying bag 20 extends into the flow channel 12 along the length direction of the partition plate 13. When the refrigerant flows in the flow channel 12, the refrigerant can pass through the drying bag 20 to complete the drying of the refrigerant. Through the above settings, the refrigerant can be made to contact the drying bag 20 more fully in the flow channel 12, so that the dryer 10 can better dry the refrigerant.

[0031] Figure 5 Shown as Figure 1 the exploded structural schematic diagram of the condenser in Figure 6 Shown as Figure 5 the axonometric structural schematic diagram of the drying bag in Figure 5 and Figure 6 Shown, in this embodiment, the drying bag 20 is detachably arranged in the dryer 10. By detachably arranging the drying bag 20 in the dryer 10, when the drying effect of the drying bag 20 weakens, the drying bag 20 can be directly detached from the dryer 10 for replacement to ensure the drying effect of the dryer 10 on the refrigerant.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drying bag 20 includes a fixing head 21, a connecting portion 22 and a bag body 23 for storing a desiccant. The connecting portion 22 is arranged between the fixing head 21 and the bag body 23. The drying bag 20 is detachably arranged in the dryer 10 through the fixing head 21.

[0033] An installation hole 14 is formed on the side wall of the dryer 10, and the sealing ring on the fixing head 21 is detachably arranged in the installation hole 14 through interference fit.

[0034] The connecting part 22 includes a connecting base 221 and a plurality of connecting columns 222. The plurality of connecting columns 222 are arranged at intervals. One end of each connecting column 222 is connected to the fixed head 21, and the other end is connected to the connecting base 221. The bag body 23 is fixed on the connecting base 221, and a through hole is formed in the middle of the connecting base 221. Through the arrangement of the plurality of connecting columns 222 arranged at intervals and the through hole on the connecting base 221, the connecting part 22 can reduce the interference with the flow of the refrigerant.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, at one end of the bag body 23 connected to the connecting part 22, along the direction from near the connecting part 22 to far from the connecting part 22, the thickness of the bag body 23 gradually increases. That is, on one end of the bag body 23 connected to the connecting part 22, a slope is formed on the bag body 23, and the setting of this slope is beneficial to the flow of the refrigerant in the flow channel 12.

[0036] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the condenser further includes a condenser core 30. A refrigerant second inlet 31 and a refrigerant second outlet (not shown in the figure) are provided on the condenser core 30. The condenser core 30 is arranged on the dryer 10, and the refrigerant second outlet is communicated with the refrigerant first inlet. That is, the refrigerant enters the condenser core 30 through the refrigerant second inlet 31 for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, it enters the dryer 10 through the refrigerant second outlet and the refrigerant first inlet to complete the drying of the refrigerant.

[0037] In this embodiment, the condenser core 30 is fixed on the dryer 10. That is, the condenser core 30 is integrated with the dryer 10. Through the above integrated setting, the volume occupied by the condenser can be reduced.

[0038] A coolant inlet 32 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the condenser core 30, and a coolant outlet 34 is provided on the other side of the upper surface of the condenser core 30.

[0039] Further, the condenser core 30 may include a plurality of heat exchange plates 33 arranged in layers. An inner cavity (not shown in the figure) is formed between two adjacent heat exchange plates 33. A coolant passage for the flow of coolant and a refrigerant passage for the flow of refrigerant are formed in the inner cavity. Along the height direction of the condenser core 30, the coolant passage and the refrigerant passage are alternately arranged. In other words, the two adjacent inner cavities are not connected, and the two adjacent inner cavities are respectively used for circulating coolant and refrigerant. While the coolant and the refrigerant are flowing, heat exchange is completed between the two. The coolant, such as water, enters the condenser core 30 from the coolant inlet 32, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the condenser core 30, and then flows out from the coolant outlet 34. The refrigerant enters the condenser core 30 from the second refrigerant inlet 31, and after completing heat exchange, enters the dryer 10 from the condenser core 30, and after being dried in the dryer 10, flows out from the first refrigerant outlet 11.

[0040] In summary, in the present utility model, by arranging the flow channel 12 in a winding manner, it is possible to significantly increase the length of the flow channel 12 and the contact distance between the flow channel 12 and the drying bag 20 under the condition of limited space in the dryer 10, so that the condenser can dry the refrigerant sufficiently. Further, through the design of the internal flow channel 12 of the dryer 10 and the design of the drying bag 20, it is possible to better facilitate the flow of the refrigerant in the dryer 10 and the full contact between the refrigerant and the drying bag 20.

[0041] The present utility model also provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned condenser. For other technical features of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art and will not be elaborated herein.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model to form equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, but as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
