Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile engines, in particular to a device for preventing coolers from being blocked. Background Art
[0002] With increasingly stringent emission regulations, engines are being driven to continuously upgrade their technology in terms of energy conservation and environmental protection in order to meet the requirements of emission regulations. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) technology is more effective in reducing NOx emissions. Because it uses the exhaust gas recirculation method to introduce part of the combustion exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe into the intake pipe to mix with fresh air, it reduces the oxygen content in the mixture and increases the specific heat capacity of the mixture, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing NOx emissions. At the same time, it has the advantages of minimal changes to the original model and greater design freedom.
[0003] Because the exhaust gas temperature discharged by the engine is relatively high, and the engine intake system has certain temperature restrictions, when the utilization rate of EGR is gradually increased, the requirements for the EGR cooler are also getting higher and higher. It is necessary to avoid cooler blockage, which causes a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and fails to meet the temperature requirements of the engine intake system. However, due to the complexity of manufacturing the existing EGR cooler and the accumulation of soot and condensed water in the exhaust gas, the EGR cooler is prone to blockage, resulting in insufficient heat exchange efficiency of the EGR cooler and abnormal engine operation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new device to prevent cooler blockage to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] An air outlet base is installed on the left side of the shell, and an air inlet base is installed on the right side of the shell. The outer surface of the fin is provided with corrugated folds, and the corrugated folds of the fin are a wave height equal to ~ times the wavelength, a wave width equal to ~ times the wave pitch and a fin length greater than or equal to times the fin width. By providing a shell, it is convenient to protect the components of this device. By providing flat tubes and fins, it is convenient to have a circulation cooling effect on the engine. By providing an air outlet base and an air inlet base, it is convenient to circulate the internal gas of this device, so that this device can effectively dissipate heat.

By providing the wave width and wave pitch, it is convenient to control the exhaust gas channel area.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the air inlet base and the shell are connected to form an air inlet channel, and the air outlet base and the shell are connected to form an air outlet channel, which facilitates air circulation inside the device and ensures the effectiveness of heat dissipation of the device.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the air outlet base and the air inlet base are set to a trumpet shape, which facilitates the transition of gas from the circular mouth of the valve to the square tube channel of the shell, ensures uniform airflow distribution in the shell, and avoids excessive exhaust gas entering individual flat tubes and clogging the fins.

[0017] Example 1, reference Figure 1The utility model discloses a device for preventing cooler blockage, which can solve the problems of the complexity of manufacturing existing EGR coolers, the accumulation of soot and condensed water in the exhaust gas, and the clogging failure of the EGR cooler, which leads to insufficient heat exchange efficiency of the EGR cooler and abnormal engine operation. The device comprises a housing 1, wherein a plurality of groups of flat tubes 2 are arranged in the housing 1, and a plurality of fins 3 are evenly installed in the inner cavity of the flat tubes 2;
[0018] An air outlet base 4 is installed on the left side of the shell 1, and an air inlet base 5 is installed on the right side of the shell 1.
