Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle heat dissipation technology, and in particular to a cooling module for a generator set and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The generator set's cooling module consists of a radiator, intercooler, shroud, and fan assembled in sequence. This assembly method causes the cold air blown out by the fan to first pass through the intercooler, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the cold air before it blows over the radiator. This significantly affects the radiator's heat dissipation. The heat that the engine needs to dissipate through the radiator is far greater than the heat that the intercooler can dissipate. This leads to an overcapacity in the intercooler's heat dissipation capacity and an insufficient heat dissipation capacity in the radiator, which affects the engine's operation. Utility Model Content

[0006] An intercooler core is disposed on the side of the blower from which the airflow is blown out. The intercooler core includes a plurality of first cooling pipes arranged at intervals along a first direction and a first heat dissipation strip sandwiched between two adjacent first cooling pipes. The first direction is perpendicular to the direction of the airflow.
[0007] A radiator core is disposed on the side of the intercooler core facing away from the air blower. The radiator core includes a plurality of second cooling pipes arranged at intervals along a first direction and a second heat dissipation strip sandwiched between two adjacent second cooling pipes.
[0008] Both the first heat dissipation strip and the second heat dissipation strip are formed into a wavy structure. The wave height of the first heat dissipation strip in the first direction is a, the thickness of the first cooling pipe in the first direction is b, the wave height of the second heat dissipation strip in the first direction is c, and the thickness of the second cooling pipe in the second direction is d, where a+b=2×(c+d).

[0012] And / or, the width dimension of the intercooler core in the first direction is k, and the width dimension of the radiator core in the first direction is l, where k≤l.
[0013] Preferably, in the direction of the airflow, there is a gap between the intercooler core and the radiator core.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] The cooling module of this utility model's generator set includes a blower that forms an airflow; an intercooler core disposed on the side of the blower from which the airflow is directed, comprising a plurality of first cooling pipes spaced apart along a first direction and a first heat dissipation strip sandwiched between each pair of adjacent first cooling pipes, the first direction being perpendicular to the direction of the airflow; and a radiator core disposed on the side of the intercooler core facing away from the blower, comprising a plurality of second cooling pipes spaced apart along the first direction and a second heat dissipation strip sandwiched between each pair of adjacent second cooling pipes; both the first and second heat dissipation strips are formed in a wavy structure, the first heat dissipation...

[0050] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a cooling module for a generator set is provided, which includes a blower, an intercooler core 10, and a radiator core 20.
[0051] The specific structure of the cooling module of the generator set according to this embodiment will be described below.
[0052] In this embodiment, the air blower can be a fan or a positive pressure air supply device, and the air blower can generate airflow. The intercooler core 10 is located on the side where the airflow is blown out by the air blower, and the radiator core 20 is located on the side of the intercooler core 10 facing away from the air blower, so that the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20 are arranged opposite to each other in the direction of airflow, and the airflow can pass through the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20 in sequence.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the intercooler core 10 includes a plurality of first cooling pipes 11 arranged at intervals along a first direction D1 and a first heat dissipation strip 12 sandwiched between each pair of adjacent first cooling pipes 11. The first direction D1 is perpendicular to the airflow direction, and the extension direction of the first cooling pipes 11 (i.e., the second direction D2 as described below) is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the airflow direction. The radiator core 20 includes a plurality of second cooling pipes 21 arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 and a second heat dissipation strip 22 sandwiched between each pair of adjacent second cooling pipes 21. The extension directions of the first cooling pipes 11 and the second cooling pipes 21 are the same, so that the cold airflow reaches the intercooler core 10 after being blown out from the blower and passes through the first heat dissipation strip 12, carrying away the heat of the intercooler. At this time, the temperature of the airflow is relatively increased, and then it passes through the second heat dissipation strip 22, carrying away the heat of the radiator back to the atmosphere.
[0054] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, both the first heat dissipation strip 12 and the second heat dissipation strip 22 are formed into a wavy structure, specifically a wavy structure formed by repeatedly bending a sheet-like structure. The wave height of the first heat dissipation strip 12 in the first direction D1 is a, the thickness of the first cooling pipe 11 in the first direction D1 is b, the wave height of the second heat dissipation strip 22 in the first direction D1 is c, and the thickness of the second cooling pipe 21 in the second direction is d. The units of a, b, c, and d are all mm, and a + b = 2 × (c + d). This reduces the wind resistance of the intercooler, thereby reducing the temperature change of the airflow after passing through the intercooler, achieving the purpose of relatively lowering the temperature of the airflow entering the radiator. This makes the heat dissipation capacity of the intercooler lower than that of the existing intercooler, but still meets the heat dissipation requirements, while the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator is improved. This achieves the goal of improving the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator while ensuring the heat dissipation capacity of the intercooler, achieving the ideal cooling effect, improving the engine's operating condition, and thus improving the vehicle's performance and safety. This application achieves a balance between the intercooler's heat dissipation capacity and the radiator's heat dissipation capacity with a slight surplus by limiting the condition a+b=2×(c+d), thus ensuring the engine's optimal operating condition.
[0055] It should be noted that, as mentioned above, wave height is the height dimension between the crest and trough of the wave structure in the first direction D1, and wave distance, as described below, is the distance between adjacent wave heights and troughs in the second direction D2.
[0056] Preferably, the first heat dissipation strip 12 has no window structure, thus further reducing the air resistance of the intercooler.
[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a baffle plate 111 is provided inside the first cooling pipe 11. The baffle plate 111 is formed by repeatedly bending a sheet-like structure to create a wavy structure, thereby increasing its contact area with the first cooling pipe 11 and further reducing the temperature of the airflow entering the radiator core 20, thus improving the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator. Preferably, the bent portion of the baffle plate 111 is formed into a straight tooth-like structure.
[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the wavelength of the first heat dissipation strip 12 in the second direction D2 is i, and the wavelength of the second heat dissipation strip 22 in the second direction D2 is j, i < j, so that the heat dissipation capacity of the second heat dissipation strip 22 is greater than that of the first heat dissipation strip 12. This reduces the wind resistance of the intercooler and ensures the reliability and effectiveness of the temperature reduction after the airflow flows out of the intercooler core 10 and before entering the radiator core 20.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, in the direction of airflow, the first cooling pipe 11 and a portion of the second cooling pipe 21 are arranged opposite to each other, such that each first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to every other second cooling pipe 21. For example, the first first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the first second cooling pipe 21, the second first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the third second cooling pipe 21, the third first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the fifth second cooling pipe 21, and so on; or the first first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the second second cooling pipe 21, the second first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the fourth second cooling pipe 21, the third first cooling pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the sixth second cooling pipe 21, and so on. In this way, the airflow direction through the radiator core 20 is optimized, further improving the radiator's heat dissipation capacity and meeting the engine's cooling requirements.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, the height dimension of the intercooler core 10 in the second direction D2 is h, and the height dimension of the radiator core 20 in the second direction D2 is g, h = g, so that the airflow in all parts of the radiator core 20 is uniform, so as to better remove the heat of the radiator.
[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the width dimension of the intercooler core 10 in the first direction D1 is k, and the width dimension of the radiator core 20 in the first direction D1 is l, k≤l, which makes the airflow in the radiator core 20 better and makes it easier to remove heat.
[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, there is a gap 60 between the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20 in the direction of airflow. That is, the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20 are spaced apart in the direction of airflow, so that the airflow from the intercooler core 10 first enters the gap 60 and then enters the radiator core 20, which helps to distribute the airflow evenly.
[0063] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the cooling module of the generator set also includes a first support assembly 31 surrounding the circumferential sidewall of the intercooler core 10 and a second support assembly 32 surrounding the circumferential sidewall of the radiator core 20, so as to achieve full circumferential support and protection for the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20 in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The first support assembly 31 and the second support assembly 32 can both be formed into a rectangular frame structure. Specifically, the first support assembly 31 and the second support assembly 32 include side plates provided at the left and right ends and guard plates provided at the upper and lower ends, and the two side plates and the two guard plates form a rectangular frame structure.
[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the generator set's cooling module also includes a seal 40 for assembly sealing. The seal 40 can be a sealing strip, and multiple seals 40 are provided. Some seals 40 are sandwiched between the first support assembly 31 and the intercooler core 10, while others are sandwiched between the second support assembly 32 and the radiator core 20. This achieves a sealed protection around the circumferential edges of the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20, ensuring no airflow loss. Figure 6 As shown, a portion of the seal 40 is sandwiched between the first support assembly 31 and the second support assembly 32, thereby sealing the assembly gap between the first support assembly and the second support assembly.
[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the cooling module of the generator set also includes a buffer 50 for shock absorption. The buffer 50 can be a rubber pad, and multiple buffers 50 are provided. Some buffers 50 are sandwiched between the first support assembly 31 and the intercooler core 10, and some buffers 50 are sandwiched between the second support assembly 32 and the radiator core 20, to prevent damage to the intercooler core 10 or radiator core 20 caused by vibration or impact during vehicle use. Preferably, the buffers 50 are located at the four corners of the intercooler core 10 and the radiator core 20.
[0066] According to the cooling module of the generator set of this utility model, a blower forms an airflow; an intercooler core is disposed on the side of the blower from which the airflow is blown out, and the intercooler core includes a plurality of first cooling pipes spaced apart along a first direction and a first heat dissipation strip sandwiched between each pair of adjacent first cooling pipes, the first direction being perpendicular to the direction of the airflow; a radiator core is disposed on the side of the intercooler core facing away from the blower, and the radiator core includes a plurality of second cooling pipes spaced apart along the first direction and a second heat dissipation strip sandwiched between each pair of adjacent second cooling pipes; both the first and second heat dissipation strips are formed as follows: The wavy structure has a first heat dissipation strip with a wave height of 'a' in the first direction and a first cooling pipe with a thickness of 'b' in the first direction. The second heat dissipation strip has a wave height of 'c' in the first direction and a second cooling pipe with a thickness of 'd' in the second direction. a + b = 2 × (c + d). This reduces the wind resistance of the intercooler, thereby reducing the temperature change of the airflow after passing through the intercooler. This achieves the goal of relatively lowering the temperature of the airflow entering the radiator, improving the radiator's heat dissipation capacity, and enhancing the radiator's heat dissipation capacity while ensuring the intercooler's heat dissipation capacity. This achieves the ideal cooling effect and improves the engine's operating condition.
[0067] The second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle that includes a cooling module for a generator set as described above, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the engine, improves the engine's operating condition, and thereby enhances the vehicle's performance and safety.

The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto.
