Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool processing technology, specifically to a fractal flow channel structure intercooler. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industry, intercoolers are key heat dissipation components for equipment such as engines and air compressors, and their performance directly affects the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.

[0003] Traditional intercoolers mostly adopt single-channel or simple multi-channel structures, which have revealed many limitations in practical applications. Single-channel designs are prone to uneven airflow distribution. When gas flows inside the intercooler, local flow velocities are often too high or too low due to differences in flow channel resistance. This prevents the high-temperature gas from being cooled evenly, thus forming local hot spots and reducing overall heat dissipation efficiency. While simple multi-channel structures can improve the flow distribution effect to some extent, they still cannot achieve efficient and uniform airflow distribution due to the lack of a scientific flow channel layout. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fractal flow channel structure intercooler, which solves the problems of uneven airflow distribution, low heat transfer efficiency, high flow resistance, and unstable installation in traditional intercoolers.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fractal flow channel structure intercooler, comprising: a frame, wherein a flow distribution device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, the flow distribution device discharging air through a multi-hole flow distribution method, the flow distribution device including a flow distribution plate, wherein a vortex strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow distribution plate through an air outlet, and the air outlet is opened on the inner wall of the flow distribution plate. By discharging air through the multi-hole flow distribution method of the flow distribution device, the airflow entering the intercooler can be evenly distributed to each flow channel, avoiding the problem of local overheating caused by uneven airflow distribution in the traditional single-channel structure, and significantly improving the overall cooling efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the flow divider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. The outer wall of the flow divider is linearly arrayed along the inner wall of the frame, and the outer wall of the vortex strips is linearly arrayed along the central axis of the air outlet. The vortex strips set at the air outlet on the inner wall of the flow divider can induce vortices when the airflow passes through, effectively destroying the airflow boundary layer and enhancing the heat exchange intensity between the airflow and the internal structure of the intercooler. Compared with the traditional smooth flow channel design, it can significantly improve the heat transfer efficiency, make the heat exchange between the cooling medium and the high-temperature gas more complete, reduce the gas temperature, and improve the operational stability of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the outer walls of the diverter are arranged in a V-shape, and the end of the diverter away from the main air outlet is a sharp corner. The design of the outer walls of the diverter being arranged in a V-shape and the end away from the main air outlet being a sharp corner effectively reduces the impact resistance when the airflow enters the flow channel, allowing the airflow to enter the flow channel between the diverter plates more smoothly.

[0010] Preferably, the ends of the splitters that are close to each other are the main air outlets, and the pointed ends are the air inlets. This shape helps to guide the airflow to converge quickly towards the main air outlets, reducing the flow resistance of the airflow inside the intercooler. While ensuring the cooling effect, it reduces energy loss and improves the overall performance of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides a fractal flow channel structure intercooler. It has the following advantages:

[0014] This utility model, by setting up a flow distribution device, uses a multi-hole flow distribution method to evenly disperse the airflow entering the intercooler into each flow channel, avoiding the local overheating problem caused by uneven airflow distribution in traditional single-channel structures. At the same time, the linear array design of the flow distribution plate along the inner wall of the frame further enhances the flow distribution effect, making the airflow within the frame more stable and uniform. The vortex strips set in the air outlet on the inner wall of the flow distribution plate can induce vortices when the airflow passes through, effectively destroying the airflow boundary layer, enhancing the heat exchange intensity between the airflow and the internal structure of the intercooler, making the heat exchange between the cooling medium and the high-temperature gas more complete, and reducing the gas temperature.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fractal flow channel structure intercooler, comprising:

[0022] The frame 1 has a diversion device 2 fixedly connected to its inner wall. The diversion device 2 discharges air through a multi-hole diversion method. The diversion device 2 inside the frame 1 discharges air through multiple directions and multiple channels.

[0023] The flow distribution device 2 includes a flow distribution plate 20. The inner wall of the flow distribution plate 20 is fixedly connected to a vortex strip 21 through an air outlet, and the air outlet is opened on the inner wall of the flow distribution plate 20. The outer wall of the flow distribution plate 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The outer wall of the flow distribution plate 20 is linearly arrayed along the inner wall of the frame 1, and the outer wall of the vortex strip 21 is linearly arrayed along the central axis of the air outlet. High-temperature gas enters the interior of the frame 1 from the pointed end 23 of the flow distribution device 2. The flow distribution plates 20 are arranged in a V-shape and linearly arrayed on the inner wall of the frame 1. By using a multi-hole flow distribution method, the incoming airflow is dispersed to each flow channel. This design breaks the limitation of uneven airflow in traditional single-channel flow, so that the airflow can enter the area between each flow distribution plate 20 evenly, laying the foundation for sufficient heat exchange in the future. The linear array of flow distribution plates 20 further optimizes the flow path of the airflow in the frame 1, ensuring that the airflow diffuses smoothly and evenly, and avoiding the decrease in cooling efficiency caused by local airflow accumulation or uneven flow velocity.

[0024] The outer walls of the diffuser plates 20 are arranged in a V-shape. The end of the diffuser plate 20 furthest from the main air outlet 22 is a pointed end 23, and the ends of the diffuser plates 20 that are close to each other are the main air outlet 22. The pointed end 23 is the air inlet. The V-shaped arrangement of the diffuser plates 20, with the pointed end 23 furthest from the main air outlet 22, guides the airflow. When the airflow enters the flow channel, the pointed end 23 can effectively reduce the impact resistance of the airflow, allowing the airflow to smoothly enter the flow channel between the diffuser plates 20. At the same time, the V-shaped structure helps to guide the airflow to converge towards the main air outlet 22, optimizing the flow path of the airflow inside the intercooler and reducing the resistance of the airflow during the flow process. In this way, while ensuring efficient cooling, the energy loss of the airflow is reduced, and the overall operating efficiency of the equipment is improved.

[0025] The outer wall of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 3. The fixing block 3 provides a stable installation foundation for the intercooler. By connecting the fixing block 3 to the installation parts of various equipment, it can be ensured that the intercooler remains stable during equipment operation and avoids the impact of shaking or displacement on the internal airflow and heat exchange effect.

[0026] During use, the diversion device 2 inside the frame 1 drains water through multiple directions and multiple channels;

[0027] High-temperature gas enters the frame 1 from the pointed end 23 of the diversion device 2. The diversion plates 20 are arranged in a V-shape and distributed linearly on the inner wall of the frame 1. By using a multi-hole diversion method, the incoming airflow is dispersed to each flow channel. This design breaks the limitation of uneven airflow in traditional single-channel systems, allowing the airflow to enter the area between each diversion plate 20 evenly, laying the foundation for sufficient heat exchange in the future. The linear array of diversion plates 20 further optimizes the flow path of the airflow in the frame 1, ensuring that the airflow diffuses smoothly and evenly, and avoiding the decrease in cooling efficiency caused by local airflow accumulation or uneven flow velocity.

[0028] When the airflow passes through the air outlet on the inner wall of the splitter plate 20, the vortex strips 21, which are arranged linearly along the central axis at the air outlet, will disturb the airflow and induce the airflow to form vortices. The generation of vortices can effectively destroy the boundary layer of the airflow, increase the contact area and contact intensity between the airflow and the internal structure of the intercooler, thereby enhancing the convective heat transfer process. Compared with the traditional smooth flow channel, the vortex strips 21 enable the airflow to exchange heat with the cooling medium more fully, greatly improve the heat transfer efficiency, quickly reduce the temperature of the high-temperature gas, and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0029] The diffuser plates 20 are arranged in a V-shape, with the end furthest from the main air outlet 22 designed as a pointed end 23. This shape guides the airflow. When the airflow enters the flow channel, the pointed end 23 can effectively reduce the impact resistance of the airflow, allowing the airflow to smoothly enter the flow channel between the diffuser plates 20. At the same time, the V-shaped structure helps guide the airflow to converge towards the main air outlet 22, optimizing the flow path of the airflow inside the intercooler and reducing the resistance of the airflow during the flow process. In this way, while ensuring efficient cooling effect, the energy loss of airflow is reduced, and the overall operating efficiency of the equipment is improved.

[0030] The fixing block 3, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 1, provides a stable installation base for the intercooler. By connecting the fixing block 3 to the installation parts of various equipment, it can be ensured that the intercooler remains stable during equipment operation, and avoids the impact of shaking or displacement on the internal airflow and heat exchange effect.
