Abstract

This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil coolers, and more particularly to an aluminum plate type automotive transmission oil cooler, including a horizontal plate with a vertical plate bolted to its surface. A heat-conducting aluminum plate is fixedly mounted on the surface of the horizontal plate, and heat dissipation fins are fixedly mounted on one side of the heat-conducting aluminum plate. Hot oil transfers heat to the surface of the heat-conducting aluminum plate, and the heat is dissipated through the heat dissipation fins. The coolant in the generator system enters the water cooling pipe. Since the water cooling pipe is in contact with the oil cooling pipe, the coolant can cool the hot oil in the oil cooling pipe. A servo motor drives the cooling fan blades to rotate, blowing air towards the water cooling pipe to enhance the cooling effect of the coolant. The air can also blow towards the heat-conducting aluminum plate and the oil cooling pipe, carrying away the heat from their surfaces. By using different cooling methods, the transmission achieves an effective cooling effect, preventing the transmission temperature from becoming too high and ensuring the service life of the transmission.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil coolers, specifically relating to an aluminum plate type automotive transmission oil cooler. Background Technology

[0002] Oil coolers are a common type of oil cooling device used in hydraulic and lubrication systems. This device allows heat exchange between two fluid media with a certain temperature difference, thereby reducing oil temperature and ensuring normal system operation. Oil coolers can be classified into air-cooled and water-cooled types based on the heat exchange medium. They are mainly used to cool hydraulic oil and lubricating oil. Oil coolers are widely used in various industries such as plastics machinery, construction machinery, mining machinery, automobiles, steel, wind power, and aerospace. There are many types of oil coolers. Water-cooled oil coolers are divided into tubular oil coolers and plate oil coolers. Plate oil coolers are further divided into detachable plate oil coolers (detachable plate heat exchangers) and brazed plate oil coolers (brazed plate heat exchangers). Air-cooled oil coolers are divided into tube-fin type and plate-fin type. During the operation of the transmission, an oil cooler is needed to control the transmission oil temperature and ensure that the transmission operates within the optimal temperature range. However, in current use, oil coolers generally use either air cooling or water cooling to cool the hot transmission oil. Often, only one of these two methods is used. A single cooling method cannot quickly cool down the hot transmission oil, which can easily lead to excessively high transmission temperatures and affect the service life of the transmission. Therefore, an aluminum plate type automotive transmission oil cooler is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an aluminum plate type automotive transmission oil cooler. This solves the problem that current oil coolers typically use either air cooling or water cooling to cool the hot transmission oil, and these two methods are often used in isolation. A single cooling method cannot quickly cool down the hot transmission oil, which can easily lead to excessively high transmission temperatures and affect the service life of the transmission.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum plate type automotive transmission oil cooler, comprising a horizontal plate, a vertical plate bolted to the surface of the horizontal plate, a heat-conducting aluminum plate fixedly mounted on the surface of the horizontal plate, a heat dissipation fin fixedly mounted on one side of the heat-conducting aluminum plate, an oil cooling pipe fixedly mounted on the surface of the vertical plate, an oil inlet pipe fixedly connected to one end of the oil cooling pipe, an oil outlet pipe fixedly connected to the other end of the oil cooling pipe, a water cooling pipe fixedly mounted on the surface of the horizontal plate, a water inlet pipe fixedly connected to one end of the water cooling pipe, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected to the other end of the water cooling pipe, a support rod fixedly mounted on one side of the vertical plate, a support plate fixedly connected to one end of the support rod, a protective shell provided on the surface of the support plate, a servo motor fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protective shell, and a cooling fan blade connected to the output end of the servo motor.

[0005] Preferably, both the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are equipped with sealing gaskets, and the oil cooling pipe is connected to the heat-conducting aluminum plate.

[0006] Preferably, both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are threaded.

[0007] Preferably, the water cooling pipe is located on one side of the oil cooling pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the protective housing is provided with screws, and the protective housing is connected to the support plate by the screws.

[0009] Preferably, the cooling fan blades are located on one side of the water cooling pipe, and the water cooling pipe is connected to the heat-conducting aluminum plate.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the horizontal plate, and the surface of the mounting plate is provided with mounting holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] As hot oil flows through the oil cooling pipes, it transfers heat to the surface of the heat-conducting aluminum plates, which are then dissipated through the heat dissipation fins. Simultaneously, the coolant in the generator system enters the water cooling pipes through the inlet pipe. Since the water cooling pipes are in contact with the oil cooling pipes, the coolant cools the hot oil in the oil cooling pipes during its flow, achieving a heat exchange effect. The servo motor drives the cooling fan blades to rotate, blowing air towards the water cooling pipes, thereby enhancing the cooling effect of the coolant in the water cooling pipes. Furthermore, the airflow can also carry away heat from the surfaces of the heat-conducting aluminum plates and oil cooling pipes. By employing different cooling methods, the gearbox achieves effective cooling, preventing overheating and ensuring the gearbox's service life. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum plate type automotive gearbox oil cooler, including a horizontal plate 1, a vertical plate 2 bolted to the surface of the horizontal plate 1, a heat-conducting aluminum plate 3 fixedly mounted on the surface of the horizontal plate 1, a heat dissipation fin 4 fixedly mounted on one side of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3, an oil cooling pipe 5 fixedly mounted on the surface of the vertical plate 2, an oil inlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to one end of the oil cooling pipe 5, an oil outlet pipe 7 fixedly connected to the other end of the oil cooling pipe 5, a water cooling pipe 8 fixedly mounted on the surface of the horizontal plate 1, a water inlet pipe 9 fixedly connected to one end of the water cooling pipe 8, a water outlet pipe 10 fixedly connected to the other end of the water cooling pipe 8, a support rod 11 fixedly mounted on one side of the vertical plate 2, a support plate 12 fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 11, a protective shell 13 provided on the surface of the support plate 12, a servo motor 14 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protective shell 13, and a cooling fan blade 15 connected to the output end of the servo motor 14.

[0022] After the oil cooler is installed in its operating position, the gearbox connecting pipe can be connected to the oil inlet pipe 6 and the oil outlet pipe 7. During gearbox operation, hot oil inside the gearbox enters the oil cooling pipe 5 through the oil inlet pipe 6. As the hot oil flows within the oil cooling pipe 5, it transfers heat to the surface of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3, which is then cooled by the heat dissipation fins 4. The heat-conducting aluminum plate 3 and the heat dissipation fins 4 effectively cool the hot oil. Simultaneously, while the hot oil flows within the oil cooling pipe 5, the coolant in the generator system enters the water cooling pipe 8 through the water inlet pipe 9. As the coolant flows within the water cooling pipe 8, it comes into contact with the oil cooling pipe 5, allowing the coolant to cool the hot oil within the oil cooling pipe 5. The system employs cooling treatment to achieve heat exchange. After startup, the servo motor 14 drives the cooling fan blades 15 to rotate. During rotation, the cooling fan blades 15 blow air towards the water cooling pipe 8, enhancing the cooling effect of the coolant within the pipe. The air also blows towards the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3 and oil cooling pipe 5, carrying away heat from their surfaces. By using different cooling methods, the gearbox achieves effective cooling, preventing overheating and ensuring its lifespan. All electrical equipment in this device is powered by an external power source, and the electric servo motor and other components are controlled by a PLC automatic control system.

[0023] In one aspect of this embodiment, the oil inlet pipe 6 and the oil outlet pipe 7 are provided with threads to facilitate the connection of the external pipe, thereby facilitating the injection of hot oil into the oil cooling pipe 5 through the oil inlet pipe 6.

[0024] In one aspect of this embodiment, the sealing gasket is used to improve the sealing performance of the oil inlet pipe 6 and the oil outlet pipe 7, prevent leakage between the external transmission pipe and the oil inlet pipe 6 and the oil outlet pipe 7, and ensure the performance of the oil inlet pipe 6 and the oil outlet pipe 7.

[0025] In one aspect of this embodiment, the protective housing 13 can be disassembled and installed using screws, which facilitates the maintenance of the servo motor 14, while the protective housing 13 can also provide protection for the servo motor 14.

[0026] In one aspect of this embodiment, a water cooling pipe 8 located on one side of the oil cooling pipe 5 can cool the hot oil inside the oil cooling pipe 5. The water cooling pipe 8 is in contact with the oil cooling pipe 5. When the coolant flows inside the water cooling pipe 8, the hot oil will transfer heat to the surface of the oil cooling pipe 5. The coolant can carry away the heat generated by the hot oil on the surface of the oil cooling pipe 5, perform heat exchange treatment, and cool the oil cooling pipe 5, so that the hot oil inside the oil cooling pipe 5 achieves a cooling effect.

[0027] In one aspect of this embodiment, the mounting plate 16 can be fixed through the mounting hole 17, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the cooler.

[0028] In one aspect of this embodiment, the cooling fan blade 15 can blow air towards the water cooling pipe 8, thereby enhancing the cooling effect of the coolant in the water cooling pipe 8. The air can also blow towards the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3, carrying away the heat from the surface of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3. The coolant in the water cooling pipe 8 can also cool down the heat generated by the heat-conducting aluminum plate 3.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
