Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, specifically to a novel condenser support plate structure. Background Technology

[0002] A condenser is a heat exchange device that converts gas or vapor into liquid. It is widely used in refrigeration, automotive air conditioning, industrial systems and other fields. It achieves heat exchange through heat dissipation. Its core function is to cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state, providing a basis for subsequent circulation. The condenser support plate is an important component inside the condenser, mainly used to support and fix the various components inside the condenser.

[0003] Although the condenser is supported by a support plate, the condenser will shrink and deform due to continuous temperature changes during long-term operation. This can lead to cracks at the connection between the condenser and the support plate, thus reducing the condenser's service life. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new condenser support plate structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel condenser support plate structure to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel condenser support plate structure includes a condenser body, the condenser body including two symmetrically arranged pipes, a plurality of cooling pipes installed between the two pipes, and two support plates welded between the opposite ends of the two pipes. The plurality of cooling pipes are located between the two support plates. Each of the two support plates includes two symmetrically arranged horizontal plates, two arc-shaped grooves opened at the opposite outer ends of the two horizontal plates, and a U-shaped plate installed between the opposite inner ends of the two horizontal plates.

[0007] The connection between the U-shaped plate and the two horizontal plates is provided with a first arc-shaped surface, and the two corners of the U-shaped plate are provided with a second arc-shaped surface on their opposite inner sides.

[0008] By setting the first and second arc surfaces, the U-shaped plate and the two horizontal plates form a reinforcing rib geometry, thereby providing stable support for the two pipes. This effectively improves the rigidity and bending resistance of the support plate, while reducing the shrinkage and deformation of the condenser body. It can also disperse concentrated stress, avoid stress concentration at the weld, effectively reduce the probability of crack formation, and thus extend the service life of the condenser body.

[0009] Furthermore, the height between two adjacent first arc-shaped surfaces and the second arc-shaped surface is 3mm, and the length of the plurality of horizontal plates is 9mm.

[0010] Furthermore, circular grooves are provided at both ends of the two U-shaped plates, and rectangular grooves are provided on the upper sides of both ends of the two U-shaped plates.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple grooves are formed on the periphery of both pipes, and the opposite ends of the multiple cooling pipes correspond to the multiple grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, both pipes are equipped with support components on their periphery, the support components including an L-shaped bracket installed on the periphery of the pipe and a mounting hole opened at one end of the L-shaped bracket.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the novel condenser support plate structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] By setting the first and second arc surfaces, the U-shaped plate and the two horizontal plates form a reinforcing rib geometry, thereby providing stable support for the two pipes. This effectively improves the rigidity and bending resistance of the support plate, while reducing the shrinkage deformation of the condenser body. It can also disperse concentrated stress, avoid stress concentration at the weld, effectively reduce the probability of crack formation, and thus extend the service life of the condenser body.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a novel condenser support plate structure, including a condenser body 1. The condenser body 1 includes two symmetrically arranged pipes 2, a plurality of cooling pipes 3 installed between the two pipes 2, and two support plates 4 welded between the opposite ends of the two pipes 2. The plurality of cooling pipes 3 are located between the two support plates 4. Each of the two support plates 4 includes two symmetrically arranged horizontal plates 5, two arc-shaped grooves 6 opened at the opposite outer ends of the two horizontal plates 5, and a U-shaped plate 7 installed between the opposite inner ends of the two horizontal plates 5. The connection between the U-shaped plate 7 and the two horizontal plates 5 is provided with a first arc-shaped surface 8, and the opposite inner sides of the two corners of the U-shaped plate 7 are provided with a second arc-shaped surface 9.

[0024] In this embodiment, a condenser body 1 is included, which includes two symmetrically arranged pipes 2 and a plurality of cooling pipes 3 installed between the two pipes 2.

[0025] Specifically, multiple grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the two pipes 2. The opposite ends of the multiple cooling pipes 3 correspond to the multiple grooves 12. Through the multiple grooves 12, the opposite ends of the multiple cooling pipes 3 can be inserted into the multiple grooves 12 to make them interlock, so that the multiple cooling pipes 3 and the two pipes 2 become a whole.

[0026] Specifically, support components are installed around the periphery of both pipes 2. The support components include an L-shaped bracket 14 installed around the periphery of the pipe 2 and a mounting hole 15 opened at one end of the L-shaped bracket 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, two support plates 4 are welded between the opposite ends of two pipes 2, and multiple cooling pipes 3 are located between the two support plates 4. Each of the two support plates 4 includes two symmetrically arranged horizontal plates 5 and two arc-shaped grooves 6 opened at the opposite outer ends of the two horizontal plates 5.

[0028] Specifically, circular blocks 13 are installed at both ends of the two pipes 2, and arc-shaped grooves 6 correspond to the periphery of the pipes 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a U-shaped plate 7 is installed between the inner ends of the two horizontal plates 5;

[0030] Specifically, circular grooves 10 are provided at both ends of the two U-shaped plates 7, and rectangular grooves 11 are provided on the upper side of both ends of the two U-shaped plates 7. The circular grooves 10 and rectangular grooves 11 can reduce stress concentration and deformation during bending, while dispersing stress and providing deformation buffer space, thereby further reducing the shrinkage deformation of the condenser body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a first arc-shaped surface 8 is provided at the connection between the U-shaped plate 7 and the two horizontal plates 5, and a second arc-shaped surface 9 is provided on the opposite inner side of the two corners of the U-shaped plate 7.

[0032] Specifically, the height between two adjacent first arc surfaces 8 and second arc surfaces 9 is 3mm, and the length of multiple horizontal plates 5 is 9mm. By setting the two first arc surfaces 8 and two second arc surfaces 9, the two ends of the support plate 4 can be folded inward, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the support plate 4.

[0033] Working steps: When the condenser body 1 shrinks and deforms, the two pipes 2 simultaneously move inward and squeeze multiple cooling pipes 3 and two support plates 4. At the same time, the two support plates 4 support the two pipes 2. The two inwardly shrinking pipes 2 squeeze the four horizontal plates 5. At the same time, the four first arc surfaces 8 and the four second arc surfaces 9 disperse the compressive force on the four horizontal plates 5. The four first arc surfaces 8 and the four second arc surfaces 9 can fold the edges of the two support plates 4 inward to form a reinforcing rib geometry, which effectively improves the rigidity and bending resistance of the two support plates 4. At the same time, it reduces and disperses the compressive force on the four horizontal plates 5, thereby reducing the concentration of compressive force at the weld between the four arc grooves 6 and the two pipes 2, effectively reducing the occurrence of cracks in the two pipes 2. This reduces the shrinkage and deformation of the condenser body 1 and increases the strength of the condenser body 1, while taking into account both lightweight and rigidity.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
