[0031] The heat exchanger core provided by this utility model includes an inner fin layer comprising an upper core plate and a lower core plate. Existing technology uses a single piece of inner fin between the upper and lower core plates for heat conduction, which is costly. To save on production costs, instead of using inner fins to transfer heat from the heat medium, the lower core plate has several downward-protruding first protrusions on its bottom surface and several upward-protruding second protrusions on its top surface, with each first and second protrusion facing each other. When the heat medium flows through the inner fin layer, heat can be conducted from the first and second protrusions, thus simulating the heat conduction capability of inner fins between the upper and lower core plates. To maintain the stability of the inner fin layer, the upper core plate... The core plate and the lower core plate maintain a stable relative position, and the first and second protrusions can improve the thermal conductivity, ensuring close contact between the first and second protrusions. Furthermore, to prevent the heat medium from clogging within the inner fin layer, all the first protrusions are spaced apart, allowing the heat medium to fully contact the first and second protrusions while flowing, thereby improving the thermal conductivity. Even further, when the heat medium flows through the first and second protrusions within the inner fin layer, the obstruction caused by the first and second protrusions creates turbulence, resulting in the heat medium contacting multiple first and second protrusions within the inner fin layer, increasing the contact area between the heat medium and the heat-conducting medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0046] Example 1:
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figures 4-6 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes a plurality of inner fin layers 1 and a plurality of outer fin layers 2; the inner fin layers 1 and the outer fin layers 2 are alternately arranged.
[0048] The inner fin layer 1 includes an upper core plate 11 and a lower core plate 13;
[0049] The bottom surface of the upper core plate 11 is provided with a plurality of downwardly protruding first protrusions 111; all the first protrusions 111 are spaced apart; the top surface of the lower core plate 13 is provided with a plurality of upwardly protruding second protrusions 131; one first protrusion 111 and one second protrusion 131 are arranged facing each other; the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 are in close contact.
[0050] When using the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, air, as the cooling medium, can flow through the outer fin layer 2; such as Figure 9As shown, end caps 01 are installed on both sides of the heat exchanger core 0. The position of the end caps 01 is offset from the inlet and outlet of the cold medium flowing in the outer fin layer 2. The hot medium enters the inner fin layer 1 through the end caps 01. The first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1 replace the inner fins 12. The hot medium flows in the gap between the first protrusion 111 and exchanges heat through the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131. The heat of the hot medium is transferred to the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 and dissipated through the outer fin layer 1.
[0051] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes an inner fin layer 1 comprising an upper core plate 11 and a lower core plate 13. Existing technology uses a single inner fin 12 between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 for heat conduction, which is costly. To save on the production cost of the heat exchanger core 0, instead of using the inner fin 12 to transfer heat from the heat medium, the lower core plate 11 has several downward-protruding first protrusions 111 on its bottom surface, and the lower core plate 13 has several upward-protruding second protrusions 131 on its top surface, with one first protrusion 111 and one second protrusion 131 facing each other. When the heat medium flows in the inner fin layer 1, heat can be conducted from the first protrusions 111 and the second protrusions 131, thereby simulating the heat conduction capability of the inner fin 12 between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13. To maintain the stability of the inner fin layer 1... The upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 are kept in a stable relative position, and the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 can improve the heat conduction efficiency, so that the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 are in close contact. Furthermore, in order to prevent the heat medium from being blocked in the inner fin layer 1, all the first protrusions 111 are spaced apart, so that the heat medium can fully contact the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 while flowing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency. Furthermore, when the heat medium flows through the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1, it is blocked by the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131, which will cause the heat medium to form turbulence, so that the heat medium contacts multiple first protrusions 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1, increasing the contact area between the heat medium and the heat conduction medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0052] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is preferably further provided with a plurality of inner fins 12 in order to further improve the heat conduction efficiency. The inner fins 12 are placed horizontally and are disposed between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13.
[0053] In order to keep the inner fin layer 1 stable and the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 in a stable relative position, when the inner fin 12 is between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, the top of the inner fin 12 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the upper core plate 11, and the bottom of the inner fin 12 is in close contact with the top surface of the lower core plate 13. At this time, the inner fin 12 can directly transfer the heat of the heat medium to the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency of the inner fin 12.
[0054] Furthermore, the inner fin 12 is staggered from the first protrusion 111. Compared with the prior art which uses a whole inner fin 12, the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 replace part of the inner fin 12, which improves heat exchange efficiency and reduces the cost of using the inner fin 12.
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model preferably includes an outer fin layer 2 comprising an outer fin 21, a left sealing strip 22, and a right sealing strip 23. The outer fin 21 is placed horizontally between the left and right sealing strips 22 and 23. The outer fin layer 2 serves as a flow channel for the cold medium, guiding heat from the inner fin layer 1 from the upper core plate 11 and lower core plate 13 through the outer fin 21, and dissipating the heat on the outer fin 21 through air. Furthermore, to ensure air can flow through the inner fin 21, the inner fin layer 21 is designed to allow for the dissipation of heat from the inner fin 21. Fins 21 are placed along the left and right flow direction of the medium. The placement direction of the outer fins 21 is perpendicular to the placement direction of the inner fins 12. The end caps 01 are set on the left and right sides of the heat exchanger core 0. The hot medium enters the inner fin layer 1 from the end caps 01. Due to the left seal 22 and the right seal 23, the hot medium cannot enter the outer fin layer 2. When the placement direction of the outer fins 21 is set perpendicular to the placement direction of the inner fins 12, air can flow through the gaps in the outer fins 21, avoiding the air being blocked by the outer fins 21, thus affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0056] Furthermore, the top of the outer fin 21 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the outer fin 21 is in close contact with the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1, so that the outer fin 21 can directly contact the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby enhancing the heat conduction effect of the outer fin 21 and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0057] Furthermore, the top of the left seal 22 is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the left seal 22 is tightly attached to the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1; the top of the right seal 23 is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the right seal 23 is tightly attached to the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1. Through the above operations, the sealing effect of the left seal 22 and the right seal 23 on the outer fin layer 2 is enhanced, while ensuring that the outer fins 21 can effectively contact the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, so that the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 can remain parallel, thereby improving the stability of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0058] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is preferably provided that the top and bottom of the heat exchanger core 0 are both outer fin layers 2; the outer fin layer 2 located at the top of the heat exchanger core 0 is used as the first outer fin layer 3, and the outer fin layer 2 located at the bottom of the heat exchanger core 0 is used as the second outer fin layer 4.
[0059] In order to make the first outer fin layer 3 and the second outer fin layer 4 form a complete flow channel, an upper partition 5 and a lower partition 6 are also included; the upper partition 5 covers the top of the first outer fin layer 3, and the lower partition 6 covers the bottom of the second outer fin layer 4.
[0060] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is made to be in close contact with the top of the outer fin 21 of the first outer fin layer 3, thereby preventing the outer fin 21 in the first outer fin layer 3 from becoming loose; the top surface of the lower partition 6 is made to be in close contact with the bottom of the outer fin 21 of the second outer fin layer 4, thereby preventing the outer fin 21 in the second outer fin layer 4 from becoming loose.
[0061] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is tightly attached to the top of the left seal 22 of the first outer fin layer 3, and the left seal 22 of the first outer fin layer 3 forms a seal between the upper partition 5 and the upper core plate 11 of the next inner fin layer 1; the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is tightly attached to the top of the right seal 23 of the first outer fin layer 3, and the right seal 23 of the first outer fin layer 3 forms a seal between the upper partition 5 and the upper core plate 11 of the next inner fin layer 1; thereby preventing the heat medium inside the end cap 01 from entering the first outer fin layer 3;
[0062] The top surface of the lower partition 6 is in close contact with the bottom of the left seal 22 of the second outer fin layer 4, and the left seal 22 of the second outer fin layer 4 forms a seal between the lower partition 6 and the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1; the top surface of the lower partition 6 is in close contact with the bottom of the right seal 23 of the second outer fin layer 4, and the right seal 23 of the second outer fin layer 4 forms a seal between the lower partition 6 and the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1; thereby preventing the heat medium inside the end cap 01 from entering the second outer fin layer 4.
[0063] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model preferably includes an upper cover plate 7 and a lower cover plate 8 to protect the heat exchanger core 0. The upper cover plate 7 covers the top surface of the upper partition plate 5, and the lower cover plate 8 covers the bottom surface of the lower partition plate 6. The upper cover plate 7 can prevent the first outer fin layer 3 from directly colliding with external objects, and the lower cover plate 8 can prevent the second outer fin layer 4 from directly colliding with external objects, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by the heat exchanger core 0 colliding with external objects and extending the service life of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0064] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, preferably, in order to further reduce the production cost of the heat exchanger core 0, can eliminate the front and rear sealing strips in the inner fin layer 1; a groove-shaped first extension 112 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper core plate 11, the first extension 112 is arranged in the left-right direction, and the length of the first extension 112 is equal to the length of the front side of the upper core plate 11; the upper core plate 11 and the first extension 112 are integrally formed to enhance the sealing of the upper core plate 11 and prevent the heat medium from flowing out; furthermore, the upper bottom surface of the first extension 112 is lower than the upper plate surface of the upper core plate 11, and the lower bottom surface of the first extension 112 is lower than the lower plate surface of the upper core plate 11, so that the first extension 112 forms a groove relative to the upper core plate 11;
[0065] A grooved second extension 132 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the lower core plate 13. The second extension 132 is arranged in the left-right direction and its length is equal to the length of the front side of the lower core plate 13. The lower core plate 13 and the second extension 132 are integrally formed to enhance the sealing of the upper core plate 11 and prevent the hot medium from flowing out. Furthermore, the upper surface of the second extension 132 is higher than the upper plate surface of the lower core plate 13, and the lower surface of the second extension 132 is higher than the lower plate surface of the lower core plate 13. The bottom of the groove of the second extension 132 is arranged facing upward, so that the second extension 132 forms an upward protruding groove relative to the lower core plate 13.
[0066] Furthermore, since the length of the first extension 112 is equal to the length of the front side of the upper core plate 11, and the length of the second extension 132 is equal to the length of the front side of the lower core plate 13, when the lower bottom surface of the first extension 112 and the upper surface of the second extension 132 are in close contact and fixed, an inner fin layer 1 with front and rear closed is formed between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby saving the front and rear sealing strips required for sealing the front and rear sides of the inner fin layer 1, and thus reducing the cost of producing the heat exchanger core 0.
[0067] like Figures 4-5As shown, in the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, preferably, since the left sealing strip 22 and the right sealing strip 23 are tightly attached to the upper surface of the upper core plate 11 or the lower surface of the lower core plate 13 in the inner fin layer 1, and the first extension 112 and the second extension 132 are grooved, there is a gap between the sealing strip and the extension. In order to tightly weld the end cap 01 to both sides of the heat exchanger core 0, it is necessary to increase the welding thickness between the heat exchanger core 0 and the left and right end caps 01. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the gap between the sealing strip and the extension to form a thicker welding thickness, that is, to increase the thickness of the welding between the upper core plate 11 and the extension. The thickness of the lower core plate 13 allows for a larger contact area between the upper core plate 11 and the end cap 01, thus enabling better welding of the end caps 01 on both sides to the heat exchanger core 0. By designating the side closest to the center of the upper core plate 11 as the inner side, the outer sidewall of the first extension 112 and the outer sidewall of the second extension 132 are inclined outwards, making the groove opening wider and facilitating the fixing of objects at the groove of the first extension 112 or the second extension 132, thereby increasing the thickness of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13.
[0068] Furthermore, in order to increase the thickness of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, the inner fin layer 1 also includes a number of first inserts 14 and a number of second inserts 15. The first inserts 14 and the second inserts 15 are cuboid in shape and can be fitted into the grooves of the first extension 112 or the second extension 132.
[0069] The first insert 14 is horizontally positioned so that it is fixed to the upper bottom surface of the first extension 112. When the first insert 14 is positioned at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the side wall of the first insert 14 is flush with the side wall of the upper core plate 11, increasing the contact area between the upper core plate 11 and the end cap 01, which is beneficial for fixing the end cap 01 and the upper core plate 11 together. The second insert 14 is horizontally positioned so that it is fixed to the lower surface of the second extension 132. When the second insert 14 is positioned at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the side wall of the second insert 14 is flush with the side wall of the lower core plate 13, increasing the contact area between the lower core plate 13 and the end cap 01, which is beneficial for fixing the end cap 01 and the lower core plate 13 together.
[0070] like Figure 6As shown, in the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, preferably, when the inner fins 12 are disposed at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the side of the inner fins 12 is flush with the side of the upper core plate 11; when the inner fins 12 are disposed at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 can be kept parallel by means of the inner fins 12, thereby avoiding the loosening of the left sealing strip 22 or right sealing strip 23 of the upper and lower layers of the inner fin layer 1, so that the left sealing strip 22 or right sealing strip 23 can be tightly attached to the upper core plate 11 or the lower core plate 13, thereby improving the stability of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0071] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is preferably further reduced in production cost by forming a first protrusion 111 and a second protrusion 131 by stamping. The top of the first protrusion 111 is provided with a first intaglio 113 with the same outline as the first protrusion 111, and the bottom of the second protrusion 131 is provided with a second intaglio 133 with the same outline as the second protrusion 131. This reduces the amount of material used in the preparation of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13. At the same time, the use of thinner materials for the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 can reduce the heat transfer time and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0072] Example 2:
[0073] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model includes a plurality of inner fin layers 1 and a plurality of outer fin layers 2; the inner fin layers 1 and the outer fin layers 2 are alternately arranged.
[0074] The inner fin layer 1 includes an upper core plate 11 and a lower core plate 13; the bottom surface of the upper core plate 11 is provided with a plurality of downwardly protruding first protrusions 111; all the first protrusions 111 are spaced apart; the top surface of the lower core plate 13 is provided with a plurality of upwardly protruding second protrusions 131; one first protrusion 111 and one second protrusion 131 are arranged facing each other; the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 are in close contact.
[0075] When using the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, air can flow through the outer fin layer 2 as a cold medium; end caps 01 are installed on both sides of the heat exchanger core 0, and the position of the end caps 01 is offset from the inlet and outlet of the cold medium flowing in the outer fin layer 2; the hot medium enters the inner fin layer 1 through the end caps 01, and the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1 replace the inner fin 12. The hot medium flows in the gap between the first protrusion 111 and exchanges heat through the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131. The heat of the hot medium is transferred to the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 and dissipates through the outer fin layer 1.
[0076] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model includes an inner fin layer 1 comprising an upper core plate 11 and a lower core plate 13. Existing technology uses a single inner fin 12 between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 for heat conduction, which is costly. To save on the production cost of the heat exchanger core 0, instead of using the inner fin 12 to transfer heat from the heat medium, the lower core plate 11 has several downward-protruding first protrusions 111 on its bottom surface, and the lower core plate 13 has several upward-protruding second protrusions 131 on its top surface, with one first protrusion 111 and one second protrusion 131 facing each other. When the heat medium flows in the inner fin layer 1, heat can be conducted from the first protrusions 111 and the second protrusions 131, thereby simulating the heat conduction capability of the inner fin 12 between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13. To maintain the stability of the inner fin layer 1... The upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 are kept in a stable relative position, and the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 can improve the heat conduction efficiency, so that the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 are in close contact. Furthermore, in order to prevent the heat medium from being blocked in the inner fin layer 1, all the first protrusions 111 are spaced apart, so that the heat medium can fully contact the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 while flowing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency. Furthermore, when the heat medium flows through the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1, it is blocked by the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131, which will cause the heat medium to form turbulence, so that the heat medium contacts multiple first protrusions 111 and the second protrusion 131 in the inner fin layer 1, increasing the contact area between the heat medium and the heat conduction medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0077] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model is preferably further provided with an inner fin layer 1 including a plurality of inner fins 12 in order to further improve the heat conduction efficiency. The inner fins 12 are placed horizontally and are disposed between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13.
[0078] In order to keep the inner fin layer 1 stable and the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 in a stable relative position, when the inner fin 12 is between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, the top of the inner fin 12 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the upper core plate 11, and the bottom of the inner fin 12 is in close contact with the top surface of the lower core plate 13. At this time, the inner fin 12 can directly transfer the heat of the heat medium to the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency of the inner fin 12.
[0079] Furthermore, the inner fin 12 is staggered from the first protrusion 111. Compared with the prior art which uses a whole inner fin 12, the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 replace part of the inner fin 12, which improves heat exchange efficiency and reduces the cost of using the inner fin 12.
[0080] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model preferably includes an outer fin layer 2 comprising an outer fin 21, a left sealing strip 22, and a right sealing strip 23. The outer fin 21 is placed horizontally between the left and right sealing strips 22 and 23. The outer fin layer 2 serves as a flow channel for the cold medium, guiding heat from the inner fin layer 1 from the upper core plate 11 and lower core plate 13 through the outer fin 21, and dissipating the heat on the outer fin 21 through air. Furthermore, to ensure air can flow through the inner fin 21, the inner fin... The outer fin 21 is placed along the left and right flow direction of the medium. The placement direction of the outer fin 21 is perpendicular to the placement direction of the inner fin 12. The end cap 01 is set on the left and right sides of the heat exchanger core 0. The hot medium enters the inner fin layer 1 from the end cap 01. Due to the left seal 22 and the right seal 23, the hot medium cannot enter the outer fin layer 2. When the placement direction of the outer fin 21 is set perpendicular to the placement direction of the inner fin 12, the air can flow through the gaps of the outer fin 21, avoiding the air being blocked by the outer fin 21, thereby affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0081] Furthermore, the top of the outer fin 21 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the outer fin 21 is in close contact with the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1, so that the outer fin 21 can directly contact the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby enhancing the heat conduction effect of the outer fin 21 and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0082] Furthermore, the top of the left seal 22 is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the left seal 22 is tightly attached to the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1; the top of the right seal 23 is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1, and the bottom of the right seal 23 is tightly attached to the top surface of the upper core plate 11 of the lower inner fin layer 1. Through the above operations, the sealing effect of the left seal 22 and the right seal 23 on the outer fin layer 2 is enhanced, while ensuring that the outer fins 21 can effectively contact the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, so that the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 can remain parallel, thereby improving the stability of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0083] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model is preferably provided in that the top and bottom of the heat exchanger core 0 are both outer fin layers 2; the outer fin layer 2 located at the top of the heat exchanger core 0 is used as the first outer fin layer 3, and the outer fin layer 2 located at the bottom of the heat exchanger core 0 is used as the second outer fin layer 4.
[0084] In order to make the first outer fin layer 3 and the second outer fin layer 4 form a complete flow channel, an upper partition 5 and a lower partition 6 are also included; the upper partition 5 covers the top of the first outer fin layer 3, and the lower partition 6 covers the bottom of the second outer fin layer 4.
[0085] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is made to be in close contact with the top of the outer fin 21 of the first outer fin layer 3, thereby preventing the outer fin 21 in the first outer fin layer 3 from becoming loose; the top surface of the lower partition 6 is made to be in close contact with the bottom of the outer fin 21 of the second outer fin layer 4, thereby preventing the outer fin 21 in the second outer fin layer 4 from becoming loose.
[0086] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is tightly attached to the top of the left seal 22 of the first outer fin layer 3, and the left seal 22 of the first outer fin layer 3 forms a seal between the upper partition 5 and the upper core plate 11 of the next inner fin layer 1; the bottom surface of the upper partition 5 is tightly attached to the top of the right seal 23 of the first outer fin layer 3, and the right seal 23 of the first outer fin layer 3 forms a seal between the upper partition 5 and the upper core plate 11 of the next inner fin layer 1; thereby preventing the heat medium inside the end cap 01 from entering the first outer fin layer 3;
[0087] The top surface of the lower partition 6 is in close contact with the bottom of the left seal 22 of the second outer fin layer 4, and the left seal 22 of the second outer fin layer 4 forms a seal between the lower partition 6 and the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1; the top surface of the lower partition 6 is in close contact with the bottom of the right seal 23 of the second outer fin layer 4, and the right seal 23 of the second outer fin layer 4 forms a seal between the lower partition 6 and the lower core plate 13 of the upper inner fin layer 1; thereby preventing the heat medium inside the end cap 01 from entering the second outer fin layer 4.
[0088] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model preferably includes an upper cover plate 7 and a lower cover plate 8 to protect the heat exchanger core 0. The upper cover plate 7 covers the top surface of the upper partition plate 5, and the lower cover plate 8 covers the bottom surface of the lower partition plate 6. The upper cover plate 7 can prevent the first outer fin layer 3 from directly colliding with external objects, and the lower cover plate 8 can prevent the second outer fin layer 4 from directly colliding with external objects, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by the heat exchanger core 0 colliding with external objects and extending the service life of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0089] like Figures 10-11As shown, in the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, preferably, in order to further reduce the production cost of the heat exchanger core 0, the front and rear sealing strips in the inner fin layer 1 can be omitted; an L-shaped first bending portion 114 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper core plate 11, the first bending portion 114 is arranged downward, the top of the vertical plate of the upper core plate 11 and the first bending portion 114 are fixed together, the side near the center of the upper core plate 11 is taken as the inner side, and the horizontal plate of the first bending portion 114 extends outward. The upper surface of the horizontal plate of the first bend 114 is lower than the upper surface of the upper core plate 11, and the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the first bend 114 is lower than the lower surface of the upper core plate 11. In order to completely seal the front and rear sides of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 in the inner fin layer 1, the first bend 114 is arranged in the left and right direction, and the length of the first bend 114 is equal to the length of the front side of the upper core plate 11. Furthermore, the upper core plate 11 and the first bend 114 are integrally formed to enhance the sealing of the upper core plate 11 and prevent the heat medium from flowing out.
[0090] L-shaped second bends 134 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the lower core plate 13. The second bends 134 are upwardly oriented, and the bottom of the vertical plate of the lower core plate 13 and the second bend 134 are fixed together. The horizontal plate of the second bend 134 extends outward, and the upper surface of the horizontal plate of the second bend 134 is higher than the upper surface of the lower core plate 13. The lower surface of the horizontal plate of the second bend 134 is higher than the lower surface of the lower core plate 13. In order to completely seal the front and rear sides of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 in the inner fin layer 1, the second bend 134 is arranged in the left and right direction, and the length of the second bend 134 is equal to the length of the front side of the lower core plate 13. Furthermore, the lower core plate 13 and the second bend 134 are integrally formed to enhance the sealing of the upper core plate 11 and prevent the heat medium from flowing out.
[0091] Furthermore, since the length of the first bend 114 is equal to the length of the front side of the upper core plate 11, and the length of the second bend 134 is equal to the length of the front side of the lower core plate 13, when the lower plate surface of the horizontal plate of the first bend 114 and the upper plate surface of the horizontal plate of the second bend 134 are in close contact and fixed, an inner fin layer 1 with front and rear closed is formed between the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, thereby saving the front and rear sealing strips required for sealing the front and rear sides of the inner fin layer 1, and thus reducing the cost of producing the heat exchanger core 0.
[0092] like Figures 10-12As shown, in the heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, preferably, since the left sealing strip 22 and the right sealing strip 23 are closely attached to the upper plate surface of the upper core plate 11 or the lower plate surface of the lower core plate 13 in the inner fin layer 1, and the first bending part 114 and the second bending part 134 are L-shaped, there is a gap between the sealing strip and the bending part. In order to weld the end cap 01 tightly to both sides of the heat exchanger core 0, it is necessary to increase the welding thickness between the heat exchanger core 0 and the left and right end caps 01. For this purpose, it is necessary to fill the gap between the sealing strip and the bending part to form a thicker welding thickness, that is, to increase the thickness of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, so that the upper core plate 11 and the end cap 01 have a larger contact area, and the lower core plate 13 and the end cap 01 have a larger contact area.
[0093] Furthermore, to increase the thickness of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13, the inner fin layer 1 also includes several U-shaped inserts 16; the vertical cross-section of the U-shaped inserts 16 is U-shaped; the U-shaped inserts 16 are horizontally arranged, with the upper sidewall of the U-shaped insert 16 fixed to the upper plate surface of the horizontal plate of the first bending part 114, and the lower sidewall of the U-shaped insert 16 fixed to the lower plate surface of the horizontal plate of the second bending part 134; when the U-shaped inserts 16 are arranged at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the sidewall of the U-shaped insert 16 is flush with the sidewall of the upper core plate 11, increasing the contact area between the upper core plate 11 and the end cap 01, which is beneficial for fixing the end cap 01 and the upper core plate 11 together; the sidewall of the U-shaped insert 16 is flush with the sidewall of the lower core plate 13, increasing the contact area between the lower core plate 13 and the end cap 01, which is beneficial for fixing the end cap 01 and the lower core plate 13 together.
[0094] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model is preferably provided in that, when the inner fins 12 are disposed at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the side of the inner fins 12 is flush with the side of the upper core plate 11 and the side of the inner fins 12 is flush with the side of the lower core plate 13. When the inner fins 12 are disposed at the left and right ends of the inner fin layer 1, the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13 can be kept parallel by means of the inner fins 12, thereby avoiding the loosening of the left sealing strip 22 or right sealing strip 23 of the upper and lower layers of the inner fin layer 1, so that the left sealing strip 22 or right sealing strip 23 can be tightly attached to the upper core plate 11 or the lower core plate 13, thereby improving the stability of the heat exchanger core 0.
[0095] The heat exchanger core provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model is preferably further reduced in terms of production cost. The first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 are formed by embossing. The top of the first protrusion 111 is provided with a first intaglio 113 with the same outline as the first protrusion 111, and the bottom of the second protrusion 131 is provided with a second intaglio 133 with the same outline as the second protrusion 131. This reduces the amount of material used in the preparation of the upper core plate 11 and the lower core plate 13. At the same time, the use of thinner materials for the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 131 can reduce the heat transfer time and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0096] In summary, the heat exchanger core provided by this utility model can solve the problem of the prior art using a whole piece of inner fin to cover the second partition plate in the inner fin layer, which results in too many inner fins used in the inner fin layer and increases the production cost of the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the production cost of the heat exchanger.
