Integrated components have many additional equipment parts, high requirements for welding strength, and complex internal channel structures. They are prone to channel blockage caused by impurities in the heat exchanger, which affects the normal use of the heat exchange equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] Technical objective: To address the shortcomings of existing integrated heat exchanger systems, this utility model discloses a multifunctional pressure plate with a filter screen.
[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0021] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more of which are set forth herein. Each embodiment and example is provided by way of explanation of the apparatus, composition, and materials of the present disclosure, and not by way of limitation. Rather, the following description provides convenient illustrations for implementing exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Indeed, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure.
[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a multifunctional pressure plate with a filter screen for integrating functions into an automotive heat exchanger core. The multifunctional pressure plate 1 has a refrigerant flow channel connecting the heat exchanger and its integrated components. A filter chamber 2 is provided on the refrigerant flow channel, and a removable built-in filter screen 3 is installed inside the filter chamber 2. Assembly holes are provided along the refrigerant flow direction on the refrigerant flow channel for installing equipment components that detect or control the refrigerant flow. The equipment components can be selected according to the required function. In an embodiment of this utility model, the equipment components are a PT sensor and an expansion valve. The PT sensor detects the refrigerant temperature at the filter chamber, and the expansion valve controls the refrigerant flow within the flow channel. Correspondingly, as... Figure 1 As shown, the assembly holes of this utility model include a PT sensor mounting threaded hole 5 and an expansion valve mounting threaded hole 6. The expansion valve mounting threaded hole 6 is located at the rear end of the filter chamber 2 along the refrigerant flow direction, and the PT sensor mounting threaded hole 5 is located at the filter chamber 2.
[0023] The built-in filter 3 of this utility model has an interference fit with the filter cavity 2. Reinforcing ribs 4 are provided along the direction of insertion into the filter cavity 2. The reinforcing ribs 4 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the built-in filter 3. The setting of the reinforcing ribs 4 can enhance the overall structural strength of the filter and reduce the deformation of the built-in filter 3 during the installation process. Preferably, the reinforcing ribs 4 can be set on the inner wall of the built-in filter 3, which facilitates the processing of the filter structure and avoids affecting the assembly between the built-in filter 3 and the filter cavity 2.
[0024] The multifunctional pressure plate 1 of this invention is welded and fixed to the heat exchanger core. The surface closest to the heat exchanger core is the welding surface. Since the multifunctional pressure plate 1 integrates valves and sensors, the fixing strength of the pressure plate is also highly demanding. Conventional welding methods are prone to affecting the overall fixing effect due to poor welding of the welding surface. Therefore, this invention has several intersecting and interconnected grid patterns 7 on the welding surface. The grid patterns 7 form a flow path in the welding surface to assist the flow of solder. During welding, the structure formed by the grid patterns 7 allows the solder to flow capillarily within the grid, improving the welding quality. For cases with a large welding area, a process groove 9 can be opened in the middle of the welding surface of the functional pressure plate 1 to divide the welding surface into independent welding areas.
[0025] Meanwhile, since valves and sensors require welding and fixing of the multi-functional pressure plate before assembly, the flux used in welding will climb up the surface of the pressure plate due to capillary action. When the flux climbs to the sealing surface of the assembly hole, it will affect the sealing effect of subsequent equipment installation. Therefore, this utility model sets an anti-climbing groove 8 on the outer periphery of the welding surface at the position corresponding to the assembly hole on the multi-functional pressure plate 1. The anti-climbing groove 8 separates the welding surface from other areas of the multi-functional pressure plate 1, ensuring welding while preventing flux from climbing up and contaminating the sealing surface of the assembly hole.
[0026] In use, the multi-functional pressure plate 1 is first welded and fixed to the heat exchanger core, and the various equipment components are installed according to the assembly holes. When the automotive refrigerant system is running, the refrigerant enters the filter chamber 2 from the heat exchanger, and after impurities are filtered out by the built-in filter screen 3, it flows towards the condenser along the refrigerant channel. During this process, sensors installed on the multi-functional pressure plate detect parameters such as the refrigerant temperature, and the flow of the refrigerant is controlled by the expansion valve. The multi-functional pressure plate of this invention can effectively integrate automotive refrigerant system components, reduce channel blockage, and ensure reliable fixation.
