Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of radiators, and particularly relates to an integrated radiator and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, major automobile companies have come up with various tricks in vehicle appearance and driving space to attract consumers, making the current automobiles very different from traditional automobiles in terms of appearance and driving space. However, the novel shape and increased driving space have led to a continuous reduction in the front engine compartment space. As the "heart" of the vehicle's power, the front engine compartment must not only meet the integrity of power components but also ensure the safety gap between various components. After the reduction of the front engine compartment, higher requirements are put forward for the layout of various components in the front engine compartment. At the same time, the small-opening shape is more favored by consumers, but the small-opening shape leads to a reduction in the air intake volume, posing a huge challenge to the heat exchange performance of the front-end cooling module. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] Based on the situation that the traditional front-end cooling module layout scheme leads to a small front engine compartment space, the utility model provides an integrated radiator and a vehicle.
[0004] The integrated radiator and vehicle provided by the utility model adopt the following technical solutions:
[0005] An integrated radiator includes a cooling chamber I, a cooling chamber II, a plurality of flat tubes for connecting the cooling chamber I and the cooling chamber II, and heat dissipation fins arranged between adjacent two flat tubes. The cooling chamber I and the cooling chamber II are each divided along their own length directions into a refrigerant chamber for adding refrigerant and a water chamber for adding coolant. The flat tube is divided along its own length direction into a refrigerant channel communicating with the refrigerant chamber and a coolant channel communicating with the water chamber. A refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet are arranged on the side of the cooling chamber I where the refrigerant chamber is located. A partition plate I is arranged between the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet in the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber I. A coolant outlet is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber I where the water chamber is located. A coolant inlet is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber II where the water chamber is located.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then enters the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber I through the refrigerant inlet. The refrigerant cannot directly flow out from the refrigerant outlet through the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber I under the blockage of the partition plate I. The refrigerant flows into the refrigerant channel of the flat tube through the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber I, enters the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber II through the refrigerant channel of the flat tube, and then flows back into the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber I through the refrigerant channel of the flat tube from the refrigerant chamber of the cooling chamber II. During the flow of the refrigerant in the flat tube, the heat exchange between the air and the heat dissipation fins cools and condenses the refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is condensed into a low-temperature and high-pressure gas-liquid two-phase state after condensation, and finally flows out through the refrigerant outlet and is used for air-conditioning refrigeration, realizing the condensation of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant; the coolant enters the water chamber of the cooling chamber II through the coolant inlet of the cooling chamber II, enters the coolant channel of the flat tube, and enters the water chamber of the cooling chamber I through the coolant channel. When the coolant flows in the flat tube, the heat exchange between the air and the heat dissipation fins cools the coolant in the flat tube, and finally flows out of the water chamber through the coolant outlet, realizing the heat dissipation and cooling of the coolant; by integrating the condenser and the low-temperature radiator, the front-end cooling module reduces a single condenser, which can increase the space in the front cabin, relieve the layout pressure of each component in the front engine compartment, reduce the thickness of the front-end cooling module, increase the surface wind speed of the radiator, improve the heat exchange performance of the radiator, enable the vehicle to be applied to multiple scenarios and working conditions, and greatly improve the driving experience of consumers.
[0007] Further, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are uniformly distributed along the length direction of the inner wall of the refrigerant channel of the flat tube.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall strength of the side wall of the refrigerant channel is strengthened by the reinforcing ribs, so that the refrigerant channel can withstand the pressure brought by the movement of the refrigerant.
[0009] Further, a first partition plate is arranged along the length direction in both the cooling chamber I and the cooling chamber II.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooling chamber I and the cooling chamber II are separated by the first partition plate, so that both the cooling chamber I and the cooling chamber II can simultaneously flow two media, namely the refrigerant and the coolant, and the heat dissipation effect is better.
[0011] Further, a second partition plate is arranged along the length direction in the flat tube, and the second partition plate divides the flat tube into a refrigerant channel and a coolant channel.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the flat tube is divided into two channels by the second partition plate, so that the chambers of the corresponding media in the two cooling chambers can be communicated.
[0013] Further, the second partition plate and the first partition plate are in the same plane, and both ends of the second partition plate are respectively connected to the first partition plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the refrigerant chamber filled with two refrigerants can be connected through the refrigerant channels, and the two water chambers filled with coolant can be connected through the coolant channels, preventing the mixing of two different media in the chamber.
[0015] Furthermore, the refrigerant inlet is located at a position near the top of the Cooling Chamber I, the refrigerant outlet and the coolant outlet are located at positions near the bottom of the Cooling Chamber I, and the coolant inlet is located at a position near the top of the Cooling Chamber II.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the refrigerant and the coolant enter the corresponding chambers and channels from the inlets for flow and heat dissipation, and flow out through the outlets after the heat dissipation is completed.
[0017] Furthermore, two partition plates I are provided and located between the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet, and a partition plate II is provided in the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber II, and the partition plate II is located between the two partition plates I.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, it enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber I through the refrigerant inlet. The refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber II through the refrigerant channel under the blockage of the partition plate I near the refrigerant inlet 11. After the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber II, it enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber I through the refrigerant channel under the blockage of the partition plate II. After the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber I, it enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber II through the refrigerant channel under the blockage of the partition plate I near the refrigerant outlet. Finally, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber of the Cooling Chamber I through the refrigerant channel and is discharged from the refrigerant outlet.
[0019] Furthermore, an exhaust port is provided on the side of the Cooling Chamber I where the water chamber is provided.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas in the water chamber can be discharged through the exhaust port.
[0021] A vehicle includes the integrated radiator in the above technology.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0033] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1-6 drawings.
[0034] An embodiment of the present utility model discloses an integrated radiator and a vehicle. Refer to Figures 1-6, an integrated radiator includes a cooling chamber I 1, a cooling chamber II 4, several flat tubes 2 for communicating the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 4, and heat dissipation fins 3 arranged between two adjacent flat tubes 2. Both the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 3 are divided along their own length directions into a refrigerant chamber 5 for adding refrigerant and a water chamber 6 for adding coolant. The flat tube 2 is divided along its own length direction into a refrigerant channel 21 communicating with the refrigerant chamber 5 and a coolant channel 22 communicating with the water chamber 6. A refrigerant inlet 11 and a refrigerant outlet 12 are arranged on the side of the cooling chamber I 1 where the refrigerant chamber 5 is located. A partition plate I 8 is arranged between the refrigerant inlet 11 and the refrigerant outlet 12 in the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1. A coolant outlet 13 is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber I 1 where the water chamber 6 is located. A coolant inlet 41 is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber II 4 where the water chamber 6 is located.
[0035] The refrigerant is compressed by a compressor to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the refrigerant inlet 11. Blocked by the partition plate I 8, the refrigerant flows into the refrigerant channel 21 of the flat tube 2, which can prevent the refrigerant from directly flowing out of the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the refrigerant outlet 12. The refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4 through the refrigerant channel 21 of the flat tube 2, and then flows from the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4 into the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I through the refrigerant channel 21 of the flat tube 2. During the flow of the refrigerant in the flat tube 2, the heat exchange between the air and the heat dissipation fins 3 cools and condenses the refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant forms a low-temperature and high-pressure gas-liquid two-phase state after condensation, and finally flows out through the refrigerant outlet 12 and is used for air-conditioning refrigeration to achieve the condensation of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant; the coolant enters the water chamber 6 of the cooling chamber II 4 through the coolant inlet 41 of the cooling chamber II 4, enters the coolant channel 22 of the flat tube 2, and enters the water chamber 6 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the coolant channel 22. When the coolant flows in the flat tube 2, the heat exchange between the air and the heat dissipation fins 3 cools the coolant in the flat tube 2, and finally flows out of the water chamber through the coolant outlet 13 to achieve the heat dissipation and cooling of the coolant; by integrating the condenser and the low-temperature radiator, the front-end cooling module reduces a single condenser, which can increase the space in the front cabin, relieve the layout pressure of each component in the front engine compartment, reduce the thickness of the front-end cooling module, increase the surface wind speed of the radiator, improve the heat exchange performance of the radiator, enable the vehicle to be applied to multi-scene and multi-condition scenarios, and greatly improve the driving experience of consumers.
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are evenly distributed along the length direction on the inner wall of the flat tube 2 where the refrigerant channel 21 is located. The overall strength of the side wall of the refrigerant channel 21 is strengthened by the reinforcing ribs 23, so that the refrigerant channel 21 can withstand the pressure brought by the movement of the refrigerant.
[0037] In this embodiment, a first partition plate 7 is disposed along the length direction of each of the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 4. The two cooling chambers are separated by the first partition plate 7, enabling two media, namely refrigerant and coolant, to flow simultaneously in the two cooling chambers, resulting in a better heat dissipation effect.
[0038] In this embodiment, a second partition plate 24 is disposed along the length direction of the flat tube 2. The second partition plate 24 divides the flat tube 2 into a refrigerant passage 21 and a coolant passage 22. By separating the flat tube 2 into two passages through the second partition plate 24, the chambers of the corresponding media in the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 4 can be communicated.
[0039] In this embodiment, the second partition plate 24 and the first partition plate 7 are in the same plane, and both ends of the second partition plate 24 are respectively connected to the first partition plate 7, enabling the refrigerant chambers 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 4 to be communicated through the refrigerant passage 21, and enabling the water chambers 6 of the cooling chamber I 1 and the cooling chamber II 4 to be communicated through the coolant passage 22, preventing the mixing of the two different media in the chambers.
[0040] In this embodiment, the refrigerant inlet 11 is located at a position near the top of the cooling chamber I 1, the refrigerant outlet 12 and the coolant outlet 13 are located at positions near the bottom of the cooling chamber I 1, and the coolant inlet 41 is located at a position near the top of the cooling chamber II 4. The refrigerant and the coolant enter the corresponding chambers and passages from the inlets for heat dissipation, and flow out through the outlets after the heat dissipation is completed.
[0041] In this embodiment, two partition plates I 8 are provided and located between the refrigerant inlet 11 and the refrigerant outlet 12. A partition plate II 9 is disposed in the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4, and the partition plate II 9 is located between the two partition plates I 8. After being compressed by the compressor, the refrigerant becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas and enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the refrigerant inlet 11. Blocked by the partition plate I 8 near the refrigerant inlet 11, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4 through the refrigerant passage 21. After entering the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4, blocked by the partition plate II 9, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the refrigerant passage 21. After entering the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1, blocked by the partition plate I 8 near the refrigerant outlet 12, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber II 4 through the refrigerant passage 21. Finally, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant chamber 5 of the cooling chamber I 1 through the refrigerant passage 21 and is discharged from the refrigerant outlet 12.
[0042] In this embodiment, an exhaust port 14 is provided on the side of the cooling chamber I 1 where the water chamber is located, and the gas in the water chamber 6 can be discharged through the exhaust port 14.
