[0002] Plate-fin heat exchangers are a new type of high-efficiency heat exchange equipment. Due to their compact structure, small size, high strength, and high heat transfer efficiency, they are widely used in various fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and engineering machinery. They are recognized as one of the most efficient new heat exchangers. Through the introduction of large-scale vacuum brazing furnaces and plate-fin heat exchanger manufacturing technology, the production of plate-fin heat exchangers has developed rapidly.

[0003] However, existing plate-fin radiators have the following problems during use:

[0004] This results in poor stability of the channels on both sides of the core. When the radiator vibrates with the vehicle and the temperature and pressure change constantly, the channels on both sides of the core are prone to cracking and leakage, leading to an increase in radiator quality accidents and a reduction in the service life of the radiator.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a core structure for a plate-fin radiator that is not prone to cracking and leakage in the channels on both sides of the core when the whole machine is subjected to vibration and constant alternation of temperature and pressure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The core structure of this plate-fin radiator improves the brazing effect and overall strength of the hot-side channels near the length of the core structure by adding inner long seals to the hot-side channels on both sides.

[0025] The following description is intended to provide a detailed account of the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a core structure of a plate-fin radiator, wherein the core structure 100 is provided with a plurality of rows of cold-side channels a and a plurality of rows of hot-side channels b, the hot-side channels b and the cold-side channels a are arranged along the length direction of the core structure 100, the cold-side channels a are provided with a short sealing strip 200 at the outer end of the hot-side channels b in the length direction, and the hot-side channels b are provided with outer long sealing strips 300 at both ends of the cold-side channels a in the length direction, characterized in that the hot-side channels b near the two sides of the core structure 100 in the length direction are supported and connected in the middle of the cold-side channels a in the length direction by an inner long sealing strip 400;

[0027] A stepped combination structure A is formed between the short seals 200 near both sides of the core structure 100 along its length. The dimensions of the short seals 200 in the stepped combination structure A along the length of the hot side channel b gradually increase near both ends of the core structure 100 along its length.

[0028] By adding inner long seals 400 to the hot-side channels b on both sides of the length direction of the core structure 100, the brazing effect and overall strength of the hot-side channels b on both sides of the length direction of the core structure 100 can be improved. By forming a stepped combination structure A with the short seals 200 on both sides of the length direction of the core structure 100, the effects of vibration of the whole machine and constant alternation of temperature and pressure can be effectively buffered, and the problem of cracking and leakage of the hot-side channels b and cold-side channels a on both sides of the core structure 100 on both sides of the length direction of the core structure can be solved.

[0029] See also Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, the core structure 100 includes side plates 101 arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the core structure 100. Partition groups are spaced apart between the side plates 101 along the length direction of the core structure 100. Each partition group includes two partitions 102 arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the core structure 100. Inner fins 103 are disposed between the partitions 102, forming the hot-side channel b. Outer fins 104 are disposed between two adjacent partition groups along the length direction of the core structure 100, forming the cold-side channel a.

[0030] See Figure 5The inner long sealing strip 400 has an approximately rhomboid horizontal cross-section. Specifically, the inner long sealing strip 400 includes a first part 401 and a second part 402 connected along the length direction of the cold side channel a. The first part 401 is rectangular, and a second part 402 is respectively provided on both sides of the first part 401 along the length direction of the cold side channel a. The size of the second part 402 gradually decreases away from the first part 401. As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the second part 402 is isosceles triangular, and the base edge of one of the second parts 402 is respectively connected to both sides of the first part 401 along the length direction of the cold side channel a. Through the above design, the inner fin 103 can be effectively prevented from being pressed, thus avoiding affecting the brazing effect.

[0031] The outer sealing strip 300 extends outward toward the side of the hot-side channel b to form a contact portion 301. The size of the contact portion 301 gradually decreases as it approaches the hot-side channel b. Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the outer sealing strip 300 is rectangular, and the horizontal cross-section of the contact portion 301 is an isosceles triangle. The side of the outer sealing strip 300 toward the hot-side channel b is connected to the bottom edge of the contact portion 301.

[0032] In this embodiment, the three outermost rows of hot-side channels b near the core structure 100 along the length direction are supported and connected in the middle of the cold-side channel a along the length direction by an inner long seal 400, which can improve the overall strength of these three rows of hot-side channels b.

[0033] The three outermost rows of cold-side channels a along the length of the core structure 100 form a stepped combination structure A between the corresponding short seals 200. The stepped combination structure A can effectively buffer the vibration of the whole machine and the effects of the continuous alternation of temperature and pressure.

[0034] In one embodiment, the core structure of the plate-fin heat sink is an aluminum plate-fin heat sink core structure.

[0035] The core structure of this plate-fin radiator improves the brazing effect and overall strength of the side channels by adding inner sealing strips in the middle of the three outermost rows of hot-side channels b on both sides of the core structure 100 along its length. At the same time, the short sealing strips 200 of the three outermost rows of cold-side channels a on both sides of the core structure 100 adopt a stepped combination sealing strip structure from the outside to the inside, which can effectively buffer the impact of vibration of the whole machine and the continuous alternation of temperature and pressure. The above design solves the problem that the channels on both sides of the core of the existing plate-fin radiator are prone to cracking and leakage due to vibration of the whole machine and continuous alternation of temperature and pressure.

[0036] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. The scope of patent application of this utility model should not be limited by these embodiments. That is, any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit disclosed in this utility model still fall within the patent scope of this utility model.
