Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and more specifically, to a mounting bracket and a heat exchange module. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation of a heat exchanger, the mounting bracket plays a crucial role in ensuring that the heat exchanger is securely fixed in its installation position, thereby guaranteeing its normal operation. Existing heat exchanger mounting brackets typically consist of two interconnected parts: one part connects to the manifold, and the other part connects to the installation location.

[0003] However, this design lacks sufficient structural strength, connection strength and stability. The mounting bracket is prone to deformation or even damage when subjected to external vibration or impact. Especially under long-term vibration environment, the stability of the mounting bracket cannot be guaranteed. This not only affects the installation firmness of the heat exchanger, but may also cause damage to the internal structure of the heat exchanger. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a mounting bracket and a heat exchange module to improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a mounting bracket is provided for fixing a heat exchanger in an installation position. The mounting bracket has a reinforcing structure, a limiting side, and an installation side. The limiting side is connected to the manifold of the heat exchanger, and the installation side is connected to the installation position. The limiting side is connected to the installation side through the reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure includes a plate-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket and / or a block-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket.

[0006] Furthermore, if there is at least one mounting side, or if there are multiple mounting sides, the limiting side and the multiple mounting sides are connected in pairs by a reinforcing structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting side has an arc-shaped surface whose shape is adapted to the outer periphery of the manifold, and the mounting bracket has a symmetrical plane, which divides the arc-shaped surface into two symmetrical parts with the same curvature. When there is one mounting side, the limiting side and the mounting side face each other, and the symmetrical plane divides the mounting side into two symmetrical parts. When there are multiple mounting sides, the multiple mounting sides are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetrical plane and the limiting side.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has at least two mounting holes that penetrate along the thickness direction of the mounting side, and at least one mounting hole is provided on each mounting side. The reinforcement structure avoids the mounting hole setting. The mounting bracket has a symmetrical plane that divides the limiting side into two symmetrical parts, and multiple mounting holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetrical plane.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes an arc-shaped plate, a mounting plate, side plates, and a support block. The mounting plate is directly opposite the arc-shaped plate, and the arc-shaped plate and the mounting plate form the limiting side and the mounting side of the mounting bracket, respectively. The two ends of the arc-shaped plate in the radial direction are connected to the two ends of the mounting plate through two side plates. The support block is set inside the area formed by the arc-shaped plate, the mounting plate, and the side plates and connects the arc-shaped plate and the mounting plate. The side plates and the support block together form a reinforcing structure, and a hollow area is formed between the support block and any side plate to avoid the mounting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the curved plate, mounting plate, side plate, and support block are integrated into a single structure. The side plate includes interconnected vertical plate segments and folded plate segments, which are respectively connected to the mounting plate and the curved plate. The radial direction of the curved plate perpendicular to the plane of symmetry is the first direction. In the first direction, the distance between the two ends of the curved plate is less than the distance between the two ends of the mounting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes an arc-shaped plate, a top plate, a mounting plate, and a support block. The top plate is directly opposite the arc-shaped plate, and the arc-shaped plate and the mounting plate form the limiting side and the mounting side of the mounting bracket, respectively. The two ends of the arc-shaped plate in the radial direction are connected to the two ends of the top plate through two mounting plates. The support block is set inside the area formed by the arc-shaped plate, the top plate, and the mounting plate and connects the arc-shaped plate and the top plate. The top plate and the support block together form a reinforcing structure, and a hollow area is formed between the support block and any one of the mounting plates to avoid the mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the curved plate, top plate, mounting plate, and support block are integrated into a single structure. The mounting plate is a straight plate, and the radial direction of the curved plate perpendicular to the plane of symmetry is the first direction. In the first direction, the distance between the two ends of the curved plate is equal to the distance between the two mounting plates.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting side has an arc-shaped surface whose shape is adapted to the outer periphery of the manifold, and the effective arc of the arc-shaped surface in contact with the outer periphery of the manifold is at least 120°.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a heat exchange module is provided, which includes a heat exchanger and the aforementioned mounting bracket. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchange tube group, a connecting pipe, and two manifolds. The two manifolds are arranged side by side with intervals. The two ends of the heat exchange tube group are connected to the two manifolds one by one. The connecting pipe is connected to an external device. Each manifold is provided with at least two mounting brackets. The mounting side of the mounting bracket is adapted to and connected to the outer periphery of the manifold. The connecting pipe passes through one of the mounting brackets and is connected to the manifold.

[0015] The present invention provides a mounting bracket for fixing a heat exchanger in an installation position. The mounting bracket has a reinforcing structure, a limiting side, and an installation side. The limiting side is connected to the heat exchanger's manifold, and the installation side is connected to the installation position. The limiting side is connected to the installation side through the reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure includes a plate-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket and / or a block-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket.

[0016] By adopting this solution, the connection between the limiting side and the installation side is strengthened through structural reinforcement, which improves the structural strength of the mounting bracket and avoids the problem of easy deformation or even damage of the mounting bracket due to its low structural strength in the prior art. This ensures the stable installation of the heat exchanger and also helps to reduce product damage caused by vibration. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mounting bracket 10 for fixing a heat exchanger in an installation position. The mounting bracket 10 has a reinforcing structure 101, a limiting side 102, and an installation side 103. The limiting side 102 is connected to the manifold of the heat exchanger, and the installation side 103 is connected to the installation position. The limiting side 102 is connected to the installation side 103 through the reinforcing structure 101. The reinforcing structure 101 includes a plate-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket 10 and / or a block-like structure extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket 10.

[0027] In this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 101 strengthens the connection between the limiting side 102 and the mounting side 103, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10. This avoids the problem of the mounting bracket 10 being easily deformed or even damaged due to its low structural strength in the prior art, thus ensuring the stable installation of the heat exchanger and reducing product damage caused by vibration.

[0028] Preferably, in this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 101 includes a plate-like structure extending along the length of the mounting bracket 10 and / or a block-like structure extending along the length of the mounting bracket 10. It is understood that the extension, quantity, and distribution of the plate-like and block-like structures can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, in some other embodiments not shown in the figures, the thickness of the plate-like and / or block-like structures gradually changes in the length direction; or, the plate-like and / or block-like structures extend along the length and width directions of the mounting bracket 10 (or only along the width direction of the mounting bracket 10); or, multiple plate-like and / or block-like structures are provided along the length and / or width directions of the mounting bracket 10.

[0029] Specifically, when there is at least one mounting side 103, or when there are multiple mounting sides 103, the limiting side 102 and the multiple mounting sides 103 are connected in pairs by the reinforcing structure 101.

[0030] This design allows operators to easily design the number of mounting sides 103 according to actual conditions. The connection between multiple mounting sides 103 and the installation location disperses the force borne by the mounting bracket 10, further enhancing installation stability and reliability. This makes the heat exchanger installation more secure and reduces installation failures or product damage caused by excessive stress at a single point. Furthermore, when there are multiple mounting sides 103, the limiting side 102 and the multiple mounting sides 103 are connected in pairs via a reinforcing structure 101 to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the limiting side 102 and the multiple mounting sides 103, thereby guaranteeing the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10.

[0031] The limiting side 102 has an arc-shaped surface 1021 whose shape is adapted to the outer periphery of the manifold, and the mounting bracket 10 has a symmetrical surface 104, which divides the arc-shaped surface 1021 into two symmetrical parts with the same curvature. When there is one mounting side 103, the limiting side 102 and the mounting side 103 are facing each other, and the symmetrical surface 104 divides the mounting side 103 into two symmetrical parts. When there are multiple mounting sides 103, the multiple mounting sides 103 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetrical surface 104 and the limiting side 102.

[0032] In this embodiment, the tight fit between the arc-shaped surface 1021 and the manifold effectively disperses the force borne by the manifold, reducing stress concentration that could lead to manifold damage and decreased heat exchange efficiency. The design of the symmetrical surface 104 ensures that the mounting side 103 can always be evenly divided into two identical parts, guaranteeing the stability of the transition and the uniformity of force distribution. This reduces stress concentration caused by improper installation and ensures the stability of the mounting bracket 10 during the heat exchanger installation process.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 10 in this embodiment has at least two mounting holes 105 that penetrate along the thickness direction of the mounting side 103. At least one mounting hole 105 is provided on each mounting side 103. The reinforcing structure 101 is provided to avoid the mounting holes 105. The mounting bracket 10 has a symmetrical surface 104 that divides the limiting side 102 into two symmetrical parts. Multiple mounting holes 105 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetrical surface 104.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting holes 105 are used to pass through the fasteners that install the mounting side 103 at the mounting position. Through the multiple mounting holes 105, the avoidance design of the reinforcing structure 101, and the use of fasteners, a firm connection between the mounting bracket 10 and the mounting position is achieved. At the same time, it is beneficial to improve the flexibility and convenience of installation, making the installation of the heat exchanger more stable. In addition, the symmetrical distribution of the mounting holes 105 is also beneficial to reduce installation difficulties caused by improper positioning of the mounting holes 105.

[0035] It is understood that the shape and number of mounting holes 105 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, in some embodiments, multiple mounting holes 105 can be provided on the same mounting side 103 to facilitate the operator to select the appropriate mounting hole to pass through the fastener as needed. In other embodiments, the mounting hole 105 is a strip-shaped hole extending at least along the length of the mounting bracket 10, and its position within the mounting hole 105 is adjustable when the fastener is loosened. This design facilitates fine-tuning of the fastener on the mounting bracket 10, ensures the correspondence between the mounting hole 105 and the installation position for smooth fastener installation, and facilitates rapid installation.

[0036] Preferably, the fastener is a rivet nut, which can pass through the mounting hole 105 to fix the mounting bracket 10 in the mounting position.

[0037] In the first embodiment shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the second embodiment shown, there are two mounting sides 103, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetry plane 104. There are two mounting holes 105, which are respectively provided on the two mounting sides 103 and symmetrically provided on both sides of the symmetry plane 104. The mounting bracket 10 includes an arc-shaped plate 11, a top plate 15, a mounting plate 12, and a support block 14. The top plate 15 is directly opposite the arc-shaped plate 11. The arc-shaped plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 form the limiting side 102 and the mounting side 103 of the mounting bracket 10, respectively. The two ends of the arc-shaped plate 11 in the radial direction are connected to the two ends of the top plate 15 through the two mounting plates 12. The support block 14 is disposed inside the area formed by the arc-shaped plate 11, the top plate 15, and the mounting plate 12 and connects the arc-shaped plate 11 and the top plate 15. The top plate 15 and the support block 14 together form a reinforcing structure 101. A hollow area 106 is formed between the support block 14 and any one of the mounting plates 12 to avoid the mounting hole 105. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 10 is a block structure. Through the combination of the arc plate 11, the mounting plate 12, the top plate 15 and the support block 14, a lightweight and stable mounting bracket 10 is formed. The top plate 15 and the support block 14 form a T-shaped strip structure to realize the connection between the two mounting plates 12 and the arc plate 11, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10. The design of the hollow area 106 not only reduces the weight of the bracket, but also ensures the smooth installation of fasteners, making the installation of the heat exchanger more convenient and stable.

[0038] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 11, top plate 15, mounting plate 12, and support block 14 are integrated into a single structure. The mounting plate 12 is a straight plate, and the radial direction of the arc-shaped plate 11, perpendicular to the plane of symmetry 104, is the first direction. In this first direction, the distance between the two ends of the arc-shaped plate 11 is equal to the distance between the two mounting plates 12. This integrated structure design further improves the structural strength and integrity of the mounting bracket 10, reducing deformation and damage caused by loose connections between components. This facilitates a more stable installation of the heat exchanger, simplifies the manufacturing process, and reduces production costs. It should be noted that, to ensure the reliability of the mounting holes 105 in this embodiment for forming and use on the mounting plate 12, the mounting plate 12 does not need to be segmented.

[0039] In such Figure 3 The illustrated embodiment three and as shown Figure 4 In the fourth embodiment shown, there is one mounting side 103, which is directly opposite to the limiting side 102 and both are divided into two symmetrical parts by the symmetry plane 104. There are two mounting holes 105, which are respectively provided on the mounting side 103 on both sides of the symmetry plane 104. Specifically, the mounting bracket 10 includes an arc-shaped plate 11, a mounting plate 12, a side plate 13, and a support block 14. The mounting plate 12 is directly opposite the arc-shaped plate 11. The arc-shaped plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 respectively form the limiting side 102 and the mounting side 103 of the mounting bracket 10. The two ends of the arc-shaped plate 11 in the radial direction are connected to the two ends of the mounting plate 12 through the two side plates 13. The support block 14 is disposed inside the area formed by the arc-shaped plate 11, the mounting plate 12, and the side plate 13 and connects the arc-shaped plate 11 and the mounting plate 12. The side plate 13 and the support block 14 together form a reinforcing structure 101. A hollow area 106 is formed between the support block 14 and any one of the side plates 13 to avoid the mounting hole 105. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 10 is a block structure. Through the combination of the arc plate 11, the mounting plate 12, the side plate 13, and the support block 14, a lightweight and stable mounting bracket 10 is formed. The two side plates 13 and the support block 14 located between them are arranged in parallel between the mounting plate 12 and the arc plate 11 to realize the transition between the mounting plate 12 and the arc plate 11, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10. The design of the hollow area 106 not only reduces the weight of the bracket but also ensures the smooth installation of fasteners, making the installation of the heat exchanger more convenient and stable.

[0040] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 11, mounting plate 12, side plate 13, and support block 14 are integrated into a single structure. The side plate 13 includes interconnected vertical plate segments 131 and folded plate segments 132, which are respectively connected to the mounting plate 12 and the arc-shaped plate 11. The radial direction of the arc-shaped plate 11, perpendicular to the plane of symmetry 104, is the first direction. In this first direction, the distance between the two ends of the arc-shaped plate 11 is less than the distance between the two ends of the mounting plate 12. This integrated structure design further improves the structural strength and integrity of the mounting bracket 10, reduces deformation and damage caused by loose connections between components, and facilitates a more stable installation of the heat exchanger. It also simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs. Furthermore, the design of the side plate 13 helps to further reduce the size and weight of the mounting bracket 10.

[0041] The limiting side 102 has an arc-shaped surface 1021 whose shape is adapted to the outer circumference of the manifold, and the effective arc of the arc-shaped surface 1021 in contact with the outer circumference of the manifold is at least 120°. This design, by limiting the effective arc of the arc-shaped surface 1021 in contact with the outer circumference of the manifold, ensures the contact area between the arc-shaped surface 1021 and the manifold, providing a good limiting effect for the manifold, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 10 and the manifold. It also helps to save materials and reduce processing costs.

[0042] It is understandable that the structural composition of the mounting bracket 10, the structure of the reinforcing structure 101, and the shape of the hollow area 106 can all be adaptively adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0043] Preferably, the arc-shaped surface 1021 is welded to the outer periphery of the manifold.

[0044] Preferably, in such Figure 2 In the second embodiment shown, and Figure 4 In the fourth embodiment shown, the mounting bracket 10 has a through hole 107 extending along the thickness direction. The connecting pipe connected to the manifold passes through the through hole 107 and is limited and fitted by the inner wall of the through hole 107. This arrangement provides a direct installation path for the connecting pipe through the through hole 107, and provides limiting guidance for the installation of the connecting pipe. This is beneficial to improving the convenience and efficiency of installation, and reduces the performance degradation, failure, and product damage caused by improper installation or inability to install the connecting pipe due to the mounting bracket 10.

[0045] Preferably, in such Figure 2 In the second embodiment shown, and Figure 4 In the fourth embodiment shown, the positions of the through hole 107 and the mounting hole 105 are spaced apart or staggered along the length of the mounting bracket 10 to avoid interference between the connecting pipe and the fastener during installation.

[0046] Another embodiment of this utility model includes a heat exchange module comprising a heat exchanger and the aforementioned mounting bracket 10. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchange tube assembly, a connecting pipe, and two manifolds. The two manifolds are arranged side-by-side with intervals. The two ends of the heat exchange tube assembly are connected to the two manifolds respectively. The connecting pipe is connected to an external device. Each manifold is provided with at least two mounting brackets 10. The mounting side 103 of the mounting bracket 10 is adapted to and connected to the outer periphery of the manifold. The connecting pipe passes through one of the mounting brackets 10 and is connected to the manifold. It can be understood that the adaptation of the mounting side 103 of the mounting bracket 10 to the outer periphery of the manifold is beneficial to increasing the mating area between the mounting bracket 10 and the heat exchanger and ensuring the connection effect. Furthermore, the shape of the limiting side 102 of the mounting bracket 10 is preferably adapted to the installation position, which is beneficial to increasing the mating area between the mounting bracket 10 and the installation position and ensuring the connection effect. This is beneficial to improving the fixing effect and reliability of the mounting bracket 10 on the heat exchanger at the installation position. Specifically, multiple mounting brackets 10 are installed on the manifold to ensure the balance and stability of the heat exchange module during installation and to improve installation applicability. A reinforced structure 101 strengthens the connection between the limiting side 102 and the mounting side 103, increasing the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10 itself. Simultaneously, the through-hole 107 provides a direct installation path for the connecting pipe, further simplifying the installation process and improving efficiency. The installation of the heat exchange module mainly involves fixing the heat exchanger to the required installation position using the mounting brackets 10. During installation, first, the limiting side 102 of the mounting bracket 10 is tightly fitted and connected to the manifold of the heat exchanger. Then, the mounting side 103 is tightly fixed to the installation position of the automotive air conditioning system using fasteners. Finally, the connecting pipe is passed through the through-hole 107 of the mounting bracket 10 and connected to the manifold, completing the installation of the heat exchanger in the heat exchange module at the installation position. The entire installation process is simple and quick, effectively improving the installation efficiency and operational safety of the automotive air conditioning system.

[0047] In summary, this utility model provides a mounting bracket 10 and a heat exchange module. During installation, firstly, the limiting side 102 of the mounting bracket 10 is tightly fitted with the manifold of the heat exchanger. Then, the mounting side 103 is fixed to the installation position of the automotive air conditioning system using fasteners. Finally, the connecting pipe is passed through the through hole 107 of the mounting bracket 10 and connected to the manifold, completing the installation of the heat exchanger in the heat exchange module at the installation position. Through the hollow design and reinforced structure, the structural strength of the mounting bracket 10 can be improved while minimizing its weight, effectively improving the strength-to-weight ratio of the bracket, avoiding the problem of easy deformation due to low strength, ensuring the stable installation of the heat exchanger, reducing product damage caused by vibration, and the lightweight design of the mounting bracket 10 facilitates installation and maintenance, further enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the product, and reducing manufacturing costs. On the other hand, the symmetrical design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also ensures the consistency and stability of the installation, improves the transition effect and stability of the mounting bracket 10, and the design of the through hole 107 makes the installation of the connecting pipe more convenient, while reducing interference with the structure of the mounting bracket 10, ensuring the integrity of the mounting bracket 10 and the convenience of installation.
