[0002] High-temperature and high-pressure hot air from the engine enters the air inlet of the charge air cooler. When the air inlet direction is consistent with the flow direction of the gas in the cooling pipe, the high-temperature and high-pressure hot air directly enters the cooling pipe, and after cooling, the low-temperature and low-pressure cold air flows out of the air outlet of the charge air cooler and returns to the engine.

[0055] Embodiment One

[0056] At present, when the high-temperature and high-pressure hot air from the engine is cooled by the intercooler, the cooling pipe 12 at the air inlet 6 is subjected to a large impact force of the high-temperature and high-pressure hot air, which easily causes the cooling pipe 12 to burst, thereby reducing the service life of the intercooler. Based on this, the present application provides an intercooler, which will be described below in combination with Figures 1-9 The intercooler is described in detail.

[0057] The present application provides an intercooler, which comprises a first air chamber member 1, a second air chamber member 2, a blocking member 3 and a cooling member 4.

[0058] Specifically, the cooling member 4 is in communication with the first air chamber member 1 and the second air chamber member 2 at both ends thereof along a first direction 5; in combination Figure 1 and in accordance with Figure 1 the placement mode, the first direction 5 is the vertical direction, and then the first air chamber member 1 is arranged above the cooling member 4 and is in communication with the cooling member 4, and the second air chamber member 2 is arranged below the cooling member 4 and is in communication with the cooling member 4.

[0059] Further, the first air chamber member 1 or the second air chamber member 2 has an air inlet 6 and an air outlet 7, the hot air is guided to the cooling member 4 through the air inlet 6, and the cooled hot air is guided out through the air outlet 7. In the first preferred embodiment, in combination Figure 4As shown, the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 7 are both formed in the first air chamber member 1, the hot air enters the cooling member 4 through the air inlet 6, undergoes the primary cooling in part of the cooling member 4 and reaches the second air chamber member 2, then undergoes the secondary cooling of the remaining part of the cooling member 4 from the second air chamber member 2, and finally is guided out from the air outlet 7. Alternatively, the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 7 are both formed in the second air chamber member 2, the hot air enters the cooling member 4 through the air inlet 6, undergoes the primary cooling in part of the cooling member 4 and reaches the first air chamber member 1, then undergoes the secondary cooling of the remaining part of the cooling member 4 from the first air chamber member 1, and finally is guided out from the air outlet 7.

[0060] Specifically, the blocking member 3 is arranged in the first air chamber member 1 or the second air chamber member 2 where the air inlet 6 is located; the blocking member 3 corresponds to the air inlet 6, and there is a preset distance between the blocking member 3 and the cooling member 4; when the hot air passes through the air inlet 6, the blocking member 3 divides the flow of the hot air and prevents the hot air from being directly guided to the cooling member 4 corresponding to the air inlet 6.

[0061] Further, taking the case that the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 7 are both formed in the first air chamber member 1 as an example, the blocking member 3 is arranged in the first air chamber member 1; the blocking member 3 directly corresponds to the air inlet 6, and there is a preset distance between the blocking member 3 and the cooling member 4; in combination with Figure 7 As shown, when the hot air passes through the air inlet 6, the hot air is divided into two flows from the gap between the blocking member 3 and the first air chamber member 1 towards the two sides of the blocking member 3, which changes the flow direction of the hot air (equivalent to the blocking member 3 blocking the path of the hot air directly guided to the cooling member 4), that is, the hot air does not directly reach the cooling member 4 in a straight line, but reaches the cooling member 4 in a curved path. Compared with the straight path, the curved path increases the distance to the cooling member 4 and the time to reach the cooling member 4, which to some extent reduces the pressure of the hot air to the cooling member 4.

[0062] In summary, the blocking member 3 arranged at the position opposite to the air inlet 6 can change the flow direction of the hot air, so that the hot air does not directly face the cooling member 4 opposite to the air inlet 6, thereby weakening the impact force of the hot air at high temperature and high pressure on the cooling member 4 opposite to the air inlet 6, and improving the service life of the intercooler. In addition, the hot air reaches the cooling member 4 in a curved path, rather than a straight path, which increases the distance to the cooling member 4 and the time to reach the cooling member 4, which to some extent also reduces the pressure of the hot air to the cooling member 4.

[0063] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air chamber member 1 includes a first housing 9 and a first main plate 10.

[0064] Specifically, referring to Figure 7 , the first shell 9 is buckled on the first main sheet 10, and a first gas containing cavity 22 is formed between the first shell 9 and the first main sheet 10; referring to Figure 4 , the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 7 are formed on the first shell 9 and are respectively communicated with the first gas containing cavity 22.

[0065] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 4-6 , the blocking member 3 comprises a blocking plate 21; the blocking plate 21 is connected to the first shell 9 at a position corresponding to the air inlet 6 and being at a preset distance from the cooling member 4.

[0066] Specifically, the size of the blocking plate 21 is greater than the size of the air inlet 6, that is, the blocking plate 21 can completely block the air inlet 6; referring to Figure 7 , the air inlet 6 is circular with a diameter of L1, and the blocking plate 21 is rectangular with a length of L3, so L3 is greater than L1.

[0067] Specifically, the preset distance is between 20mm-40mm. Preferably, the preset distance is 30mm.

[0068] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the cooling member 4 comprises fins 11 and cooling pipes 12 communicated with the first gas chamber member 1 and the second gas chamber member 2 respectively; the cooling pipes 12 are multiple, and the multiple cooling pipes 12 are arranged at intervals along the second direction 14; the fins 11 are arranged between adjacent cooling pipes 12.

[0069] Specifically, taking the arrangement mode in Figure 1 as an example, the second direction 14 refers to the left-right direction. That is, the multiple cooling pipes 12 are arranged at intervals along the direction from left to right; the fins 11 are arranged in a bent form between adjacent cooling pipes 12.

[0070] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , a partition plate 15 is arranged at a preset position in the first gas containing cavity 22; the partition plate 15 divides the first gas containing cavity 22 into a first air inlet part 16 and a first air outlet part 17 which are not communicated with each other; the air inlet 6 is communicated with the first air inlet part 16, and the air outlet 7 is communicated with the first air outlet part 17.

[0071] Specifically, when the first gas chamber member 1 and the second gas chamber member 2 are arranged on the cooling member 4 respectively, the partition plate 15 divides the first gas containing cavity 22 into the first air inlet part 16 and the first air outlet part 17 which are not communicated with each other, so as to divide the cooling member 4 into two parts.

[0072] In actual working process, the hot air enters into the first air inlet part 16 through the air inlet 6 firstly, then is cooled once by the cooling member 4 of the left part and reaches the second air chamber member 2, then is cooled twice by the cooling member 4 of the left part again, and finally is discharged through the air outlet 7.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first main sheet 10 is provided with the through holes 18 as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The cooling pipe 12 can pass through the through hole 18 so that the cooling pipe 12 is in communication with the first gas containing cavity 22.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second air chamber member 2 comprises the second shell 19 and the second main sheet 20 as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second shell 19 is buckled on the second main sheet 20, and the second gas containing cavity is surrounded between the second shell 19 and the second main sheet 20.
