Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an integrated expansion tube water tank. Background Technology
[0002] The expander radiator is an important component of the automotive cooling system. Its main function is to store and release superheated steam in the engine cooling system to maintain stable cooling system pressure and prevent engine overheating or damage due to excessive pressure. In harsh environments, such as deserts and other areas with high temperatures, the cooling channels inside the expander radiator are generally straight channels, resulting in poor heat dissipation performance and potentially causing engine overheating or damage.
[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN220365641U discloses a high-efficiency heat dissipation automotive radiator. This high-efficiency heat dissipation automotive radiator, through the coordinated use of a radiator body, fixing block, radiator box, submersible pump, water pipes, drain pipes, radiator fan, air duct, and radiator block, solves the problems of existing automotive radiators that rely on front-side heat dissipation, resulting in poor heat dissipation efficiency, and lack of rear-side heat dissipation, thus reducing the practicality and inconvenience for users. While this high-efficiency heat dissipation automotive radiator boasts high-efficiency heat dissipation and improves practicality, it lacks an auxiliary heat dissipation structure on the inner wall of the pipes, even though it incorporates a rear-side heat dissipation structure. This results in a small contact area between the coolant and the pipes, leading to poor heat exchange efficiency and hindering rapid heat dissipation for the vehicle. In harsh environments such as high temperatures, this can easily cause engine overheating, potentially damaging the radiator and affecting normal driving, thus reducing its practicality.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated expansion tube water tank, including an upper water chamber 1 and a lower water chamber 2, and an installation frame 3 disposed between the upper water chamber 1 and the lower water chamber 2. A strip tube 4 is disposed on the inner wall of the installation frame 3, and a cooling groove 6 is opened on the inner edge of the strip tube 4. An auxiliary heat dissipation component 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling groove 6.
[0031] Specifically, the upper water chamber 1, the lower water chamber 2, and the mounting frame 3 are all made of aluminum. The advantages are that the aluminum upper water chamber 1, lower water chamber 2, and mounting frame 3 are lightweight, have high heat dissipation efficiency, and strong corrosion resistance, while also having relatively low material costs and high practicality.
[0032] Specifically, heat dissipation fins 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the strip tube 4. Multiple identical heat dissipation fins 5 are arranged at equal intervals. The advantage is that, through the design of the heat dissipation fins 5, heat is dissipated to the surrounding environment through air convection, which can dissipate heat from the high-temperature coolant inside the cooling tank 6. The design of multiple heat dissipation fins 5 further improves the overall heat dissipation performance.
[0033] Specifically, multiple identical auxiliary heat dissipation components 7 are provided, and these components are distributed at equal intervals. The advantage is that the design of multiple auxiliary heat dissipation components 7 further improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency, extends the service life of the car engine, and is highly practical.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] like Figure 2-6As shown, as an improvement over the previous embodiment, in order to further improve the overall heat dissipation performance, specifically, the auxiliary heat dissipation component 7 includes a first inclined plate 701, a second inclined plate 702, a third inclined plate 703, a vertical plate 704 and a diversion groove 705. The inner wall of the cooling groove 6 is fixedly installed with the first inclined plate 701, the second inclined plate 702 and the third inclined plate 703. One end of the third inclined plate 703 away from the first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702 is fixedly installed with the vertical plate 704. The outer walls of the first inclined plate 701, the second inclined plate 702, the third inclined plate 703 and the vertical plate 704 are all provided with the diversion groove 705. The first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702 have the same structure. The angle of the first inclined plate 701 is 45°. The cross-section of the combination of the first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702 is in a "丷" shape structure. The cross-section of the third inclined plate 703 is in a "∧" shape structure. The width of the third inclined plate 703 is greater than the width of the gap between the first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702. The advantage is that through the cooperation of the first inclined plate 701, the second inclined plate 702 and the third inclined plate 703, the coolant flows through the gap between the first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702 to the surface of the third inclined plate 703, and then flows from the surface of the third inclined plate 703 to the surface of the next set of the first inclined plate 701 and the second inclined plate 702, increasing the contact area of the coolant and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.
[0036] Specifically, the center line of the vertical plate 704 is parallel to the inner wall of the cooling groove 6, and a vertical flow channel is formed between the vertical plate 704 and the inner wall of the cooling groove 6. The advantage is that when the water flow of the coolant inside the cooling groove 6 is large, when the coolant passes through the vertical flow channel formed between the vertical plate 704 and the inner wall of the cooling groove 6, it fully contacts the vertical plate 704 and the inner wall of the cooling groove 6, increasing its contact area and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency, and has high practicability.
[0037] Specifically, the cross-section of the diversion groove 705 is in an "arc" shape structure, and the depth of the diversion groove 705 is half of the thickness of the first inclined plate 701. The advantage is that through the design of the diversion groove 705, the contact area of the coolant is further increased, and the overall heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved.
[0038] Working Principle: During operation, coolant enters the cooling tank through the upper water chamber 1. Then, through the interaction of inclined plates 701, 702, and 703, the coolant flows through the gap between inclined plates 701 and 702 to the surface of inclined plate 703, and then from the surface of inclined plate 703 to the surface of the next set of inclined plates 701 and 702. This increases the contact area of the coolant and improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency. When the coolant flow inside the cooling tank 6 is large, the coolant forms a vertical flow channel between the vertical plate 704 and the inner wall of the cooling tank 6, fully contacting the vertical plate 704 and the inner wall of the cooling tank 6, increasing the contact area and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. It has high practicality and is highly effective. The coolant then flows out through the lower water chamber 2. The design of the guide channel 705 further increases the contact area of the coolant, greatly improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. The design of multiple auxiliary heat dissipation components 7 further improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency, extends the service life of the car engine, and has high practicality. The design of the heat dissipation fins 5 dissipates heat to the surrounding environment through air convection, which can dissipate heat from the high-temperature coolant inside the cooling tank 6. The design of multiple heat dissipation fins 5 further improves the overall heat dissipation performance. The upper water chamber 1, lower water chamber 2, and mounting frame 3, made of aluminum, have the characteristics of light weight, high heat dissipation efficiency, and strong corrosion resistance, and the material cost is relatively low, making them highly practical.
