Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and more specifically, to a heating core flow channel structure and a heater. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing automotive air conditioning systems use ceramic plate heaters to generate heat at a set voltage, which is then transferred to the vehicle's coolant system to heat the passenger compartment or other areas. Furthermore, the heater's flow channel plate uses fins to form flow channels for the fluid, with adjacent channels separated to ensure uniform fluid flow within the plate. Baffles are also required to separate the fluid at the inlet and outlet of the flow channel plate. This ensures that the heater uniformly heats the fluid for effective thermal management.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, baffles need to be installed separately, and separately installed baffles can affect the smoothness of the flow channel. Utility Model Content

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a heating core flow channel structure 10, including:
[0034] Housing 100 and fin assembly 200;
[0035] The outer casing 100 includes two barrel-shaped shells 110; the barrel-shaped openings 111 of the two shells 110 face each other so that the inner walls of the two shells 110 together enclose a sealed receiving space 101; the fin assembly 200 is hermetically disposed in the receiving space 101; at least one shell 110 is provided with a through inlet 121 and an outlet 122.
[0036] At least one housing 110 has a recess 300; the recess 300 extends from the outer wall of the housing 110 toward the fin assembly 200 along the length of the housing 110; and the recess 300 extends between the inlet 121 and the outlet 122, and until it abuts against the fin located in the middle of the fin assembly 200, so that the inner cavity of the receiving space 101 near the inlet 121 and the outlet 122 is separated by the recess 300.
[0037] In this design, the recessed portion 300 of the housing 110 of the heating core flow channel structure 10 extends between the inlet 121 and the outlet 122, and even abuts against the fins located in the middle of the fin assembly 200, thereby separating the inner cavities near the inlet 121 and outlet 122 in the receiving space 101 by the recessed portion 300. Because the recessed portion 300 can be manufactured as part of the housing 110, its forming is convenient, while also meeting the requirement of separating the inner cavities at the inlet 121 and outlet 122. This heating core flow channel structure 10 can achieve simple and efficient separation of the inlet 121 and outlet 122, and also increases the structural stability at the inlet and outlet 122 through the recessed portion 300.
[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To understand more structural details of the heating core flow channel structure 10. In this embodiment, both housings 110 are provided with an inlet 121 and an outlet 122, with the inlet 121 of one housing 110 facing the inlet 121 of the other housing 110, and the outlet 122 of one housing 110 facing the outlet 122 of the other housing 110. Simultaneously, both housings 110 are provided with oppositely arranged recesses 300.
[0039] Optionally, in this embodiment, the recessed portion 300 is integrally formed with the housing 110, which can improve the overall structural stability of the housing 100.
[0040] As can also be seen from the figure, in an optional embodiment, the recess 300 penetrates the outer wall of the housing 110, so that a through notch 301 is formed in the center of the recess 300. That is, the recess 300 forms a hollow structure, and only the wall surface of the recess 300 is used as a partition. It is easy to understand that in other embodiments, the recess 300 may not be a hollow structure, and a plate or the like may be provided in the notch 301 of the recess 300; this is just an example.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the recess 300 includes a transition plate 310 and two connecting plates 320; the two connecting plates 320 are disposed at both ends of the transition plate 310; in each housing 110, the connecting plates 320 and the transition plates 310 are both disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 110 and extend toward the barrel-shaped opening 111; the connecting plates 320 are connected to the side wall of the barrel-shaped opening 111. That is, the recess 300 achieves the purpose of separating the inner cavity of the inlet and outlet 122 only through the combination of plates. It is easy to understand that in other embodiments, the recess 300 can also be a solid structure; this is merely an example.
[0042] from Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can also be seen that, in an optional embodiment, two connecting plates 320 are arranged in parallel within each housing 110. This ensures the stability of the two connecting plates 320. In other embodiments of this utility model, the two connecting plates 320 may also have a certain included angle; this is merely an example and not a limitation.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, in each housing 110, two connecting plates 320 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the transition plate 310. This makes the connecting plates 320 more stable and reliable relative to the transition plate 310. In other embodiments of this invention, the two connecting plates 320 may also be arranged asymmetrically; this is merely an example and not a limitation.
[0044] In an optional embodiment, the transition plate 310 and the two connecting plates 320 maintain a smooth transition. This ensures the uniformity of force distribution between the transition plate and the connecting plates 320, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the recess 300. Optionally, the transition plate 310 and the two connecting plates 320 have an arc transition. In other embodiments of this utility model, the transition plate 310 and the connecting plates 320 may also be connected with chamfers or right angles; this is merely an example and not a limitation.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the connecting plate 320 and the sidewall of the barrel-shaped opening 111 maintain a smooth transition. This ensures the uniformity of force distribution between the connecting plate 320 and the sidewall of the barrel-shaped opening 111, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the recess 300. Optionally, the connecting plate 320 and the sidewall of the barrel-shaped opening 111 have an arc transition. In other embodiments of this invention, the connecting plate 320 and the sidewall of the barrel-shaped opening 111 can also be chamfered or right-angled; this is merely an example and not a limitation.
[0046] As can also be seen from the figure, in an optional embodiment, the two connecting plates 320 have the same length along the length direction of the housing 110. This ensures the overall symmetry of the recess 300, facilitates manufacturing, and is also beneficial for alignment and fit with the fins. In other embodiments of this utility model, the two connecting plates 320 may have different lengths; this is merely an example and not a limitation.
[0047] In an optional implementation, the transition plate 310 is an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate ensures a smooth connection between the two connecting plates 320.
[0048] Secondly, the present invention provides a heater, which includes a heating core flow channel structure 10 of any of the foregoing embodiments.
[0049] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a heating core flow channel structure 10 and a heater, which has at least the following advantages:
[0050] The recess 300 of the housing 110 extends between the inlet 121 and the outlet 122, and abuts against the fins located in the middle of the fin assembly 200, thereby separating the inner cavities of the receiving space 101 near the inlet 121 and the outlet 122 by the recess 300. Because the recess 300 can be manufactured as part of the housing 110, it is convenient to form the recess 300, while also meeting the requirement of separating the inner cavities at the inlet 121 and the outlet 122.
[0051] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
