Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive intercooler technology, specifically to a water-cooled intercooler core structure. Background Technology

[0002] Water-cooled intercoolers are crucial components in the intake air thermal management system of turbocharged engines, reducing intake air temperature. They balance the intake air temperature of turbocharged engines through liquid cooling, increasing the airflow and density entering the engine and improving engine efficiency. Water-cooled intercoolers are compact, have high heat exchange efficiency, and require less installation space and simpler piping compared to air-cooled intercoolers, saving space in the vehicle's front compartment. Existing water-cooled intercooler core structures, such as those in patent application publication number CN109441620A, use two U-shaped plates for the water-side cover. The interlocking structure, with the U-shaped plate joining at the inlet and outlet of the water-side fins, places significant demands on the precision of the parts and the welding of the product, increasing the risk of leakage to some extent. The two bends of the U-shaped plate interlocking structure are welded to the R-corner of the main board of the water-cooled intercooler. The dimensional accuracy requirements for the R-corner of the main board and the two bends of the U-shaped plate are very strict, requiring a fit clearance of ≤0.15mm. This structure increases the risk of leakage at the R-corner welding position. The water-side cover and water chamber adopt a separate structure, increasing the welding leakage points of the water-cooled intercooler product. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a water-cooled intercooler core structure. The structure is simple and easy to operate. It not only makes the welding effect of the radiator better, but also reduces the risk of leakage. It is suitable for mass production and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-cooled intercooler core structure, including an air flat tube assembly, wherein the air flat tube assemblies are arranged sequentially, and each air flat tube assembly includes an air flat tube, with fins disposed between the air flat tubes. Both ends of the air flat tube assembly are connected to a main board by welding. The front and rear sides of the air flat tube assembly are respectively provided with integrally connected side plates. An upper cover plate and a lower cover plate are welded to the upper and lower surfaces of the air flat tube assembly, respectively. The upper cover plate, lower cover plate, air flat tube assembly, and main board are connected by a welded protective connection, and the upper cover plate, lower cover plate, and main board ensure that the water-side area of ​​the air flat tube assembly is sealed. The upper and lower cover plates are respectively provided with water chambers, located diagonally on the upper and lower sides of the air flat tube assembly. The upper water chamber is connected to an outlet pipe, and the lower water chamber is connected to an inlet pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, the water chamber is integrally connected to the lower cover plate or the upper cover plate, and the water chamber is manufactured by stamping.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower cover plate and the upper cover plate have the same structure.

[0007] Furthermore, claws are provided at the four corners of both the lower and upper cover plates, and grooves corresponding to the claws are provided at the four corners of the main board.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by integrating the water chamber and the cover plate into one piece, and by having the upper and lower cover plates form a dense weld seam through the claws engaging with the grooves on the main board, this structural design can increase the welding qualification rate of the product and reduce the risk of leakage at the joints of the core parts. This water-cooled intercooler core structure is simple in structure and easy to operate, which not only makes the welding effect of the radiator better, but also reduces the risk of leakage, making it suitable for mass production.
