Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finned heat dissipation technology, specifically to a staggered toothed fin structure for automobiles that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] The intercooler is a key component of a turbocharger system, used to cool high-temperature compressed air and improve engine combustion efficiency. As the core heat dissipation element of the intercooler, the design, materials, and manufacturing process of the heat exchange fins directly affect heat dissipation performance, airflow resistance, and durability. The staggered fins, with their serrated arrangement and staggered distribution of adjacent fins, can increase the heat exchange area per unit space, enhance turbulence, and improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0003] However, during the stamping process of staggered tooth fins, the complex cutting edge of the staggered tooth structure is more prone to burrs due to uneven local stress. Burrs will destroy the streamline structure of the fin surface, leading to stress concentration, increased flow resistance, local turbulence, mechanical peeling of the oxide layer, exposure of fresh metal for continuous corrosion, and greatly reducing the service life of the intercooler. On the other hand, the staggered tooth fin structure of one-piece stamping is complex, and the burrs are hidden and have various shapes, which are difficult to remove uniformly, increasing processing costs. Furthermore, excessive processing will destroy the fin tooth shape and affect heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] This invention provides a staggered-tooth fin structure for automotive applications that facilitates heat dissipation. It offers the following advantages:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the original integral stamped toothed structure is replaced by a split fin body and a serrated sub-plate. The serrated stamping plate and the serrated sub-plate are set as strip structures, which facilitates the grinding and removal of burrs and avoids burr corrosion from affecting the service life of the fins.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a staggered toothed fin structure for automotive applications that facilitates heat dissipation, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a fin body 1 with strip-shaped placement grooves spaced apart on the fin body 1. The placement grooves divide the fin body 1 into strips by several equally spaced serrated stamping plates 101. Connecting plates 102 are integrally formed at the ends of several serrated stamping plates 101. Serrated auxiliary plates 2 are inserted into the placement grooves with a concave-convex fit. The serrated auxiliary plates 2 are configured as strip structures. The serrated stamping plates 101 and serrated auxiliary plates 2 are staggered and arranged as strips, allowing for direct deburring on both sides to avoid corrosion caused by burrs.
[0024] The cross-sections of the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth auxiliary plate 2 are both configured as a combination of several trapezoidal sawtooth plates connected end to end. The trapezoidal sawtooth plate includes an integrally formed flat plate and protrusions inclined on both sides of the flat plate. The flat plates of the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth auxiliary plate 2 are staggered and partially overlap, which can be used for brazing. The flat plate and the protrusions are connected with rounded corners.
[0025] The overlapping portions of the serrated stamping plate 101 and the serrated auxiliary plate 2 are respectively provided with welding slots. A brazed beam 3 passes through the welding slot. A brazed gap is provided between the brazed beam 3 and the side wall of the welding slot. The brazed beam 3 increases the welding surface and improves the stability of the serrated stamping plate 101 and the serrated auxiliary plate 2. Filling slots 4 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the serrated stamping plate 101 and the serrated auxiliary plate 2. A filling block 5 is provided in the filling slot 4. The filling block 5 is positioned directly below the brazed beam 3 with a concave-convex fit. A brazing molten metal block 6 is inserted into the filling slot. A snap-fit is provided on the lower side of the brazing molten metal block 6. The through groove is inserted into the upper side of the brazed beam 3 with a concave-convex fit. The side wall of the filling block 5 slides and abuts against the inner wall of the through groove. The brazing molten block 6 is made of the same material as the brazing material. Heating the brazing molten block 6 can heat and melt it to fill the filling slot 4 to form a seal. Before brazing, the brazing molten block 6 is inserted into the filling slot 4 with a concave-convex fit to limit the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2 to ensure that the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2 will not shake. After heating and brazing, grinding can make the upper and lower sides of the brazing molten block 6 flush with the side walls of the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] In this invention, the fin body 1 is divided into strip-shaped serrated stamping plates 101 by a placement groove, which facilitates the burr removal process on both sides of the serrated stamping plates 101 and the serrated sub-plates 2, thus avoiding corrosion of the fin structure caused by burrs. During the assembly of the fin body 1 and the serrated sub-plates 2, the serrated sub-plates 2 are inserted into the placement groove, aligning the welding slots on the serrated stamping plates 101 and the serrated sub-plates 2. The brazed beam rod 3 is then placed in the welding slot, and the brazing molten block is then... 6 is inserted into the filling slot 4 to ensure the stable alignment of the fin body 1 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2 before welding. The welding stability of the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2 is increased by brazing the brazing gap between the brazing beam rod 3 and the welding through slot. Then, the brazing molten block 6 is heated and melted to fill the gap between the welding through slot, the filling slot 4, the filling block 5 and the brazing molten block 6 to form a sealed weld, which further improves the stability of the connection between the sawtooth stamping plate 101 and the sawtooth sub-plate 2.
