[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a heat sink with a reinforced structure is provided, the heat sink with the reinforced structure including a cooling pipe 1, a main plate 2 and a secondary main plate 3.

[0035] In the following description, reference will be made to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The specific structure of the aforementioned components of the reinforced heat sink and the connection relationship of the aforementioned components are described in detail.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple cooling pipes 1 can be arranged in parallel. Two main plates 2 can be respectively installed at both ends of the multiple cooling pipes 1. A secondary main plate 3 can be disposed in the middle of the multiple cooling pipes 1 along their length. The secondary main plate 3 can have multiple through holes 30, through which the multiple cooling pipes 1 can pass respectively. This arrangement allows the secondary main plate 3 to support the middle of the cooling pipes 1, preventing expansion or bursting of the cooling pipes 1 in the middle, thereby improving the service life of the radiator.

[0037] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple cooling pipes 1 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the radiator of the reinforced structure. The main plate 2 can be a strip-shaped plate, and the cooling pipes 1 can be arranged perpendicular to the surface of the main plate 2. Two main plates 2 can be disposed at both ends along the length direction of the cooling pipes 1. The two main plates 2 can be welded to the ends along the length direction of the multiple cooling pipes 1 respectively. The auxiliary main plate 3 can be sleeved on the cooling pipes 1 and then welded to the multiple cooling pipes 1.

[0038] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment, the heat sink of the reinforced structure may further include heat dissipation strips 4 (only a portion of the heat dissipation strips 4 is shown in the figure). The heat dissipation strips 4 can be arranged along the length of the cooling pipes 1. The heat dissipation strips 4 can be arranged between adjacent cooling pipes 1, i.e., the heat dissipation strips 4 and cooling pipes 1 are staggered. The heat dissipation strips 4 can be welded and fixed to the cooling pipes 1. A gap may be provided in the middle of the heat dissipation strips 4 along its length for mounting the sub-main plate 3. The sub-main plate 3 divides the heat dissipation strips 4 into two parts along its length.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the sub-main plate 3 can be a strip-shaped plate. Multiple through holes 30 can be formed on the sub-main plate 3. The multiple through holes 30 can be spaced apart along the length of the sub-main plate 3. The number and position of the through holes 30 can correspond one-to-one with the number and position of the cooling pipes 1, allowing multiple cooling pipes 1 to pass through the corresponding through holes 30. Specifically, the through holes 30 can be strip-shaped to facilitate the passage of the cooling pipes 1. The through holes 30 can be arranged along the width of the sub-main plate 3.

[0040] Further optimized, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the width of the sub-main plate 3 can be greater than the thickness of the heat dissipation strip 4 and the cooling pipe 1. This ensures that after the sub-main plate 3 is installed on the cooling pipe 1, the edge of the sub-main plate 3 can protect the cooling pipe 1 and the heat dissipation strip 4, preventing damage to the heat dissipation strip 4 and the cooling pipe 1 due to impact.

[0041] Preferred, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the sub-main sheet 3 may also be provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 may be staggered with the plurality of through holes 30 to improve the strength of the sub-main sheet 3 itself. Further, preferably, the reinforcing ribs 31 may be formed in the shape of strips. The reinforcing ribs 31 may protrude from the first side surface of the sub-main sheet 3 (e.g., they may be...). Figure 6 The reinforcing rib 31 is located on the second side of the sub-main piece 3 (as shown on the lower surface), and can be on the second side of the sub-main piece 3 (as shown on the lower surface). Figure 6 The upper surface shown is formed as a depression, so that the sub-main piece 3 is formed as a wave shape.

[0042] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment, the reinforcing rib 31 is along the length direction of the sub-main piece 3 (i.e., as shown in the figure). Figure 6 The sub-main plate 3 is provided with chamfers 310 on both sides (as shown in the horizontal direction). When the sub-main plate 3 is installed on the cooling pipe 1, the cooling pipe 1 can be inserted into the sub-main plate 3 from the side provided with the reinforcing rib 31. In this process, the chamfers 310 can play a guiding role to facilitate the installation of the sub-main plate 3 on the cooling pipe 1.

[0043] In addition, preferred, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the sub-main plate 3 may be provided with a flange 301 at the through hole 30. Preferably, the flange 301 may be provided around the through hole 30 to support the cooling pipe 1. The multiple through holes 30 with flanges 301 on the sub-main plate 3 transitionally engage with the multiple cooling pipes 1, ensuring that the position of the cooling pipes 1 is fixed and preventing tilting.

[0044] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat sink with the reinforced structure may further include a side plate 5. Specifically, the side plate 5 may be disposed on both sides of the plurality of cooling pipes 1 in the width direction. The side plate 5 may be formed in the shape of a strip, and the two ends of the side plate 5 in the length direction may be welded to the main plate 2. The middle part of the side plate 5 in the length direction may be welded to the end of the sub-main plate 3 in the length direction. This arrangement allows the sub-main plate 3 to support the side plate 5. Since the sub-main plate 3, the cooling pipes 1 and the side plate 5 are all provided with solder, these three parts can be welded together by brazing in an oven without the need for additional processes.

[0045] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a radiator with the reinforced structure described above.

[0046] During use, the reinforced radiator has an additional sub-main plate 3 in the middle of the cooling pipe 1, which enables the sub-main plate 3 to support the middle of the cooling pipe 1, preventing the middle of the cooling pipe 1 from expanding or bursting, thereby improving the service life of the radiator.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto.
