[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed that the scope of the subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. Any modifications, substitutions and alterations made based on ordinary technical knowledge and conventional means in the art without departing from the above-described technical concept of the present invention are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model presents a novel ducted arc-shaped radiator, comprising a mounting plate 1, an oil nozzle 2, a bypass valve 3, oil inlet and outlet end caps 4, a core assembly 5, and an oil return end cap 6.

[0040] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the upper side of mounting plate 1 has a tapered surface structure to fit the engine duct and is fixed with bolts, making assembly and disassembly simple. The lower side of mounting plate 1 transitions to an arc-shaped surface structure, using welded connections to the arc-shaped core assembly 5. To achieve weight reduction, a groove is cut in the middle of mounting plate 1, and reinforcing ribs are added in the middle for support to ensure strength. Figure 11 As shown, the lower side of the mounting plate 1 is connected to the core assembly 5 by welding, and the welding position is located at the I-shaped through hole on the arc surface of the mounting plate 1.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the lubricating oil nozzle 2 is the lubricating oil inlet and outlet nozzle. It is connected to the main unit pipeline by end face assembly and then by clamp. The lubricating oil passes through the lubricating oil inlet nozzle, through the harmonica tube 10, through the core assembly 5 to the return oil end cap 6, and returns to the lubricating oil outlet nozzle from the other end of the harmonica tube 10. The diameter of the lubricating oil nozzle 2 is φ26mm.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, bypass valve 3 is the control device, and there are 12 plugs ( Figure 8 The left side of the valve (middle section) features a threaded assembly structure. By controlling the spring compression, it ensures the valve opens to regulate the lubricating oil connection. Together with the valve assembly (valve seat, valve core), spring, and sealing ring 13, it forms the bypass valve 3. If the pressure difference between the lubricating oil inlet and outlet increases, the lubricating oil opens the bypass valve 3, flowing directly from the lubricating oil inlet nozzle to the lubricating oil outlet nozzle, bypassing the harmonica tube 10. The sealing ring 13 in the bypass valve 3 is made of fluoropolymer rubber with good high and low temperature resistance.

[0043] like Figure 9 The lubricating oil inlet and outlet end cap 4 is a transition part between the heat exchange core assembly 5 and the pipeline in the radiator. It mainly plays the role of collecting working medium and rectifying flow. It is also the pressure-bearing structure inside the product cavity. The lubricating oil inlet and outlet end cap 4 is processed by welding. Materials with good weldability are preferred, and reasonable welding processes are selected to ensure the quality of welding materials.

[0044] like Figure 10 The core assembly 5 consists of an upper side plate 7, a lower side plate 8, a harmonica tube 10, a grid plate 11 (which is welded to the harmonica tube 10 to isolate it from the air and collect lubricating oil), and fins 9 (with brazing filler metal), all integrally brazed. Vacuum brazing is preferred, which further improves the brazing quality and raises the brazing requirements, avoiding the need for re-welding after brazing aluminum alloy. This ensures the overall brazing of the core assembly 5 while controlling the product weight. The internal channel of the harmonica tube 10 is formed from aluminum profiles using a mold, and then pressed into the required shape using special tooling. The air-side fins 9 are also pressed into the required shape. After the core assembly 5 is assembled, it is clamped using a special fixture and then brazed in a vacuum brazing furnace. At high temperature, the air-side fins 9 with brazing filler metal are connected to the harmonica tube 10. The welding quality is checked after brazing. In core assembly 5, the number of flow paths on the oil side is even, and the number of flow paths on the air side is single. The flow path arrangements are either 1-2 or 1-4 (1 represents a single flow path, 2 and 4 represent double and four flow paths respectively). As the number of flow paths increases, the flow resistance loss at the bends increases significantly. Calculations show that when there are four flow paths on the oil side, the flow resistance at the bends accounts for approximately 30% to 35% of the product's flow resistance. Separating each flow path requires adding a seal, thus increasing the product weight. Therefore, a structure with two flow paths on the oil side and a single flow path on the air side is preferred. Core assembly 5 consists of an upper side plate 7, a lower side plate 8, a harmonica tube 10, a grid plate 11, and fins 9 (with brazing filler metal) welded together via vacuum brazing. The structure of the harmonica tube 10 is as follows... Figure 11Cross-sectional view shown.

[0045] As Figure 12 The oil return end cover 6 is the oil passage, and is formed by argon arc welding, and mainly functions as collecting the oil to make the oil return to the oil outlet.

[0046] As Figure 1 And Figure 11 The main process of the novel duct arc-shaped radiator is that the radiator assembly is formed by argon arc welding of the core assembly 5, the oil inlet and outlet end cover 4, the oil return end cover 6 and the oil nozzle 2, and then the surface treatment is carried out, the nanometer passivation is carried out on the outer surface, the air side fin 9 and the mounting surface, the oil inlet and outlet are connected with the pipeline on the machine through the clamp, the mounting surface of the upper side plate 7 is fixed through the bolt, and the main process methods of the product mainly relate to mechanical processing, sheet metal forming, argon arc welding and post-weld machining.

[0047] The working principle of the duct arc-shaped radiator is that the core assembly 5 adopting the plate-fin structure, the high-temperature oil from the engine enters the mouth pipe 10 of the duct arc-shaped radiator, the low-temperature air passes through the fin 9 inside the core assembly 5, and heat conduction is carried out between the fin 9 and the mouth pipe 10, so that the heat is exchanged to the low-temperature air flowing through the fin 9 from the outer duct, so that the purpose of cooling the high-temperature oil is achieved. Figure 9 The left side of the oil inlet and outlet end cover 4 is the oil outlet cavity and the oil outlet nozzle, the right side is the oil inlet cavity and the oil inlet nozzle, the bypass cavity is below the oil outlet cavity, the bypass cavity is provided with an oil outlet corresponding to the oil outlet cavity, the bypass cavity is provided with an oil inlet corresponding to the oil inlet cavity, and the bypass valve 3 is located in the bypass cavity.

[0048] Different from the single-layer fin design of the cold edge structure in the prior art, the cold edge of the utility model adopts the multi-layer fin structure, and the hot edge adopts the structure of the mouth pipe 10.

[0049] The above merely provides one of the embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
