Description

[0002] As indispensable general equipment in chemical industry, petroleum, food and other numerous industrial fields, heat exchanger occupies the pivotal position in the production process. Its core function lies in realizing the heat transfer between fluids, ensuring that the fluid temperature can accurately reach the heat index required by the process flow, thereby meeting various production needs. In actual industrial application, heat exchanger can flexibly play the roles of condenser, evaporator and other multiple roles, and its wide application range and diversified types fully demonstrate its importance and practicality in the industrial field.

[0003] As a crucial component in heat exchanger, the collecting heat aluminium pipe works cooperatively with other parts to build a complete heat exchanger structure. It undertakes the key task of distributing or collecting heat exchange medium in the heat exchange process, and plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring the normal operation and high efficiency of heat exchanger.

[0004] However, as for the current traditional collecting heat aluminium pipe production process, the method of winding the aluminium strip into a pipe through a pipe winding machine is generally adopted. This production method meets the production needs to a certain extent, but the pipe wall of the collecting heat pipe inevitably leaves a joint. The existence of these joint structures not only affects the appearance quality of the collecting heat pipe, but more importantly, it will cause a series of problems such as the decline of mechanical properties and the weakening of corrosion resistance of the collecting heat pipe. These problems not only reduce the overall performance of the heat exchanger, but also may pose a potential threat to production safety. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the total length of the limiting structure and the opening structure is 2.1±0.2 mm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above technical scheme has the advantages that: the limiting structure can effectively prevent the generation of butt joint difference, thereby ensuring the perfect and clean appearance of the product.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please refer to Figs. 1-2The embodiment provides a high-corrosion-resistance welding seam structure of a heat exchanger collecting aluminum pipe, which comprises a strip, the strip having a first non-linear edge and a second non-linear edge, the first non-linear edge and the second non-linear edge being overlapped to form a butt joint gap, the butt joint gap having a limiting structure and an opening structure connected in series, and the cooperation of the two greatly enhances the overall stability and corrosion resistance of the welding seam.

[0027] In the embodiment, the limiting structure comprises a gap bevel segment, a gap round corner segment and a gap vertical segment connected in series, and the first edge and the second edge of the three segments are symmetrically arranged. The limiting structure can effectively prevent the generation of a butt joint gap, and avoid appearance defects caused by the gap.

[0028] In the embodiment, the opening structure comprises a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end form a triangular structure with an opening, the first end has a first inclined edge or a straight edge, and the second end has a second inclined edge; the triangular structure can effectively guide and store the welding liquid during the welding process, thereby ensuring sufficient filling and high-quality completion of the welding seam.

[0029] In the embodiment, the high end of the gap bevel segment is connected with the opening structure, the low end of the gap bevel segment is connected with the gap round corner segment, and the design of the gap bevel segment can gradually slow down the speed of the welding liquid during the flow process, thereby avoiding the direct impact of the welding liquid on the welding seam area, and reducing the generation of welding defects. The design of the gap round corner segment helps to disperse stress when the welding seam is stressed, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking of the welding seam due to stress concentration.

[0030] In the embodiment, the maximum distance between the first edge and the second edge of the gap bevel segment, the gap round corner segment and the gap vertical segment is 0.1 mm. The close butt joint helps to reduce possible defects in the welding process, such as pores, slag inclusion and the like, and also reduces the risk of cracks caused by welding stress, thereby improving the reliability of the welding seam.

[0031] For the collecting pipe, the following welding seam structure parameters are optimal: the total length of the limiting structure and the opening structure is 2.1±0.2 mm; the total length of the gap bevel segment, the gap round corner segment and the gap vertical segment is 1.5±0.2 mm, which ensures the strength and makes the welding process more smooth, thereby reducing the welding time. The length of the gap vertical segment is less than or equal to 0.5 mm, which makes the welding seam more compact in the vertical direction and reduces the stress concentration in the welding seam area. The inclination angle of the gap bevel segment is 26±2 degrees, which helps the welding liquid to flow more smoothly during the welding process, thereby avoiding the accumulation or vortex of the welding liquid in the welding seam area.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the same; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
