Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intercooler technology, specifically a pressurized water-cooled intercooler. Background Technology

[0002] A pressurized water-cooled intercooler is a water-cooled turbocharged air cooler that enhances heat dissipation efficiency through forced pressurized coolant circulation. It is an upgraded component of the turbocharged engine intake system. Its core feature is that, based on a traditional water-cooled intercooler, an independent high-pressure water pump or pressure regulating device is added. This causes the coolant to flow within the heat exchange tubes at a pressure higher than that of the engine's cooling system. By increasing the coolant flow rate and turbulence, the heat exchange efficiency with the high-temperature pressurized air outside the tubes is enhanced, further reducing the intake air temperature and significantly increasing the intake air density.

[0003] In existing pressurized water-cooled intercoolers, the intake pipe and intercooler shell are mostly rigidly connected. Under high-load conditions, the continuous impact of high-pressure airflow on the intake pipe can easily cause severe vibration, leading to loosening of the rigid connection due to long-term stress concentration, or even seal failure and leakage. Furthermore, the lack of cushioning in the rigid structure prevents the absorption of vibration energy, making the intake pipe prone to fatigue damage and cracking, thus shortening its service life. Therefore, we propose a pressurized water-cooled intercooler. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressurized water-cooled intercooler to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pressurized water-cooled intercooler, comprising an intercooler shell and a shell cover, wherein a first connecting ring frame is fixedly connected to the openings on both sides of the intercooler shell, and a second connecting ring frame is fixedly connected to one side of the shell cover, wherein a plurality of bolts are threaded onto the first and second connecting ring frames, wherein two air inlet pipes are provided inside one end of the shell cover, and an air outlet pipe is embedded inside the other end of the shell cover;

[0006] Several slots are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the housing cover at one end. A stabilizing cover is sleeved on the outer end of the air intake pipe. A buffer pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing cover. Several insert rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing cover near the housing cover. A first connecting seat is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the stabilizing cover. Two second connecting seats are provided at the upper and lower ends of one of the second connecting ring frames, which are threaded with bolts. A through hole is provided through the inner end of the second connecting seat. Rotary grooves are provided at the inner and outer ends of the second connecting seat. A hydraulic support rod is hinged between the rotary groove and the first connecting seat.

[0007] Preferably, an inlet pipe is embedded at the top of the intercooler housing, and an outlet pipe is embedded at the bottom of the intercooler housing.

[0008] Preferably, the cushioning pad is made of either rubber or silicone.

[0009] Preferably, the outer diameter of the insertion rod matches the inner diameter of the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the stabilizer is fitted to the outer end of the air intake pipe through a buffer pad.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: by attaching the stabilizing cover and buffer pad to the air intake pipe, vibrations caused by high-pressure airflow can be absorbed; the insertion rod and slot cooperate to prevent the air intake pipe from shifting; and the hydraulic support rod further enhances stability and reduces stress on the pipe body. The overall structure improves the stability of the device under high-load conditions, reduces the risk of leakage, and extends the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0019] Example 1: A pressurized water-cooled intercooler includes an intercooler housing 1 and a housing cover 2. A first connecting ring frame 13 is fixedly connected to the openings on both sides of the intercooler housing 1. A second connecting ring frame 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing cover 2. Several bolts 22 are threaded onto the first connecting ring frame 13 and the second connecting ring frame 21. Two air inlet pipes 23 are provided inside one end of the housing cover 2, and an air outlet pipe 24 is embedded inside the other end of the housing cover 2. A liquid inlet pipe 11 is embedded at the top of the intercooler housing 1, and a liquid outlet pipe 12 is embedded at the bottom of the intercooler housing 1.

[0020] In use, the intercooler housing 1 and housing cover 2 are sealed and fixed by the first connecting ring frame 13, the second connecting ring frame 21 and bolts 22. The high-temperature boosted air after turbocharging enters the interior of the intercooler housing 1 through the two intake pipes 23 of one end of the housing cover 2. At the same time, the high-pressure coolant is injected into the heat exchange tube inside the housing through the liquid inlet pipe 11. Inside the housing, the high-temperature air outside the tube and the high-pressure coolant flowing inside the tube fully exchange heat. After the air temperature drops, it is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 12 of the other end of the housing cover 2, completing the cooling cycle.

[0021] Example 2: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 1, includes: several slots 201 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the housing cover 2 at one end; a stabilizing cover 3 is sleeved on the outer end of the air intake pipe 23; a buffer pad 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing cover 3; several insert rods 32 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing cover 3 near the housing cover 2; a first connecting seat 33 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the stabilizing cover 3; two second connecting seats 4 are provided at the upper and lower ends of a second connecting ring frame 21, which are threaded to bolts 22; a through hole 401 is provided through the inner end of the second connecting seat 4; a rotating groove 402 is provided at the inner and outer ends of the second connecting seat 4; a hydraulic support rod 41 is hinged between the rotating groove 402 and the first connecting seat 33; the buffer pad 31 is made of either rubber or silicone; the outer diameter of the insert rods 32 matches the inner diameter of the slot 201; and the inner side wall of the stabilizing cover 3 is in contact with the outer end of the air intake pipe 23 through the buffer pad 31.

[0022] In use, first, fit the outer end of the intake pipe 23 into the stabilizer cover 3, ensuring that the buffer pad 31 (made of rubber or silicone) fits tightly against the outer wall of the intake pipe 23. Simultaneously, insert the insertion rod 32 of the stabilizer cover 3 into the slot 201 of the housing cover 2 to initially fix the intake pipe 23. Then, by rotating the bolt 22 inside the through hole 401, the second connecting seat 4 and the second connecting ring frame 21 are fixed by the bolt 22. Adjust the hydraulic support rod 41 (which is hinged at both ends to the first connecting seat 33 and the rotating groove 402 respectively) to a suitable length to further stabilize the stabilizer cover 3.

[0023] When the equipment is working, the stabilizing cover 3 and the buffer pad 31 can absorb the vibration of the air intake pipe 23 caused by the high-pressure airflow. The hydraulic support rod 41 reduces the force on the pipe body by telescopic buffering. The cooperation between the insertion rod 32 and the slot 201 prevents the air intake pipe 23 from shifting under high pressure. The overall lifting device has stability and sealing performance under high load conditions.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
