The inner round corners and the inner side planes of the bent bosses at the two ends of the baffles are tightly attached to the round corners and the planes of the heat dissipation pipes, and the tops of the bent bosses are tightly attached to the grooves in the cover plate; a groove is formed in the intercooler main piece, and the outer round corners and the outer side planes of the bent bosses at the two ends of the baffles are attached to the inner round corners and the planes of the groove of the intercooler main piece, so that a rectangular sealing cavity is formed. According to the utility model, under the condition that the material components of the baffle plate are not changed, the baffle plate adopts a new structure, so that the leakage failure form caused by unreasonable structural design of the main sheet, the radiating pipe and the cover plate can be effectively slowed down, and the risk of part fit clearance is reduced, thereby improving the welding qualification rate of the water-air intercooler and improving the reliability of the intercooler.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile water-to-air intercoolers, in particular to a water-to-air intercooler with a novel baffle structure. Background Art

[0002] As an integral part of the engine's thermal system, the automotive intercooler plays a crucial role in engine operation and fuel efficiency. Intercoolers are typically made of aluminum alloy and are divided into two common types based on the cooling medium: air-cooled, which uses the cold air entering the vehicle as it moves, to cool the vehicle; and water-cooled, which uses a cooler with a shape and principle similar to an air-cooled intercooler placed in the intake manifold, allowing the pressurized hot air to flow through it while coolant continuously flows through the intercooler, removing the heat from the pressurized air.

[0003] The function of an intercooler: Engine exhaust temperatures are very high, and heat conduction through the supercharger raises the intake air temperature. If uncooled, pressurized air enters the combustion chamber, it not only affects the engine's charging efficiency but also easily leads to excessively high combustion temperatures, increasing the NOx content in the engine's exhaust and causing air pollution. To mitigate the adverse effects of supercharged air temperatures, an intercooler is added to reduce intake air temperatures. Water-to-air intercoolers use water as a cooling medium and are used to cool the pressurized air in vehicles, engine blocks, and other engines. They are energy-saving and environmentally friendly products that increase power, reduce exhaust emissions, and protect the environment.

[0004] The existing water-to-air intercooler structure consists of a core plate, heat pipes, and a cover plate. The cover plate has two openings that connect to the inlet and outlet pipes, allowing coolant from the liquid side to enter the water-to-air intercooler cavity. After brazing in a brazing furnace, the internal structure of the core plate, heat pipes, and cover plate components changes. Improperly designed joints and poorly welded connections can lead to leaks, allowing coolant to flow into the air path through gaps, thus affecting engine performance. Therefore, a water-to-air intercooler with a new baffle structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
