Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an anti-corrosion radiator, and more particularly to an anti-corrosion radiator with a magnesium rod, belonging to the field of anti-corrosion technology for radiators. Background Technology
[0002] Radiators are essential heating equipment in winter, but steel radiators are susceptible to corrosion during use, which affects their lifespan. To address this issue, current technologies often employ the method of installing magnesium rods inside the radiators for corrosion protection, utilizing the sacrificial anode effect of the magnesium rods to protect the radiator body.
[0003] However, existing anti-corrosion radiators containing magnesium rods have many drawbacks during use: First, the magnesium rods are mostly suspended at the top of the radiator, while actual corrosion is concentrated in the bottom water accumulation area, resulting in misalignment of the protected area and ineffective protection of the bottom water accumulation area; second, the magnesium rods are consumed quickly and are inconvenient to maintain and replace, requiring the disassembly of the entire radiator or cutting of the pipes, increasing maintenance costs and difficulty; third, some magnesium rods are made of a mixed alloy block of magnesium, zinc, and aluminum, which is prone to disintegration during the reaction process, forming fragments that contaminate the pipes and affect the normal operation of the system.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a corrosion-resistant radiator with magnesium rods that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this invention provides a corrosion-resistant radiator with a magnesium rod.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a corrosion-resistant radiator with magnesium rod, including a radiator body, the radiator body including heat dissipation fins and end caps installed at both ends of the heat dissipation fins, and at least one mounting component is provided at the bottom of the end cap located at the bottom end of the heat dissipation fins.
[0007] The mounting components include a mounting base and a fastener that is detachably connected to the mounting base. The mounting base has a mounting groove adapted to the magnesium rod, and the magnesium rod is placed in the mounting groove. The magnesium rod is fastened to the mounting base by the fastener.
[0008] Preferably, the magnesium rod is a magnesium-aluminum alloy rod, wherein the mass fraction of magnesium in the magnesium-aluminum alloy rod is 60%-80% and the mass fraction of aluminum is 20%-40%.

[0012] Preferably, springs are provided at both ends of the mounting groove, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove and the other end in contact with the magnesium rod.
[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a buffer layer, and the buffer layer is made of rubber.
[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the end cap is fitted with a welding plate, and the mounting base is welded to the welding plate.

[0017] This utility model proposes a corrosion-resistant radiator with a magnesium rod.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1 The corrosion-resistant radiator with magnesium rod shown includes a radiator body 10, which includes a heat sink 1 and end caps 2 installed at both ends of the heat sink. At least one mounting component 3 is provided at the bottom of the end cap 2 located at the bottom end of the heat sink.
[0024] Each heat sink fin has end caps installed at both ends, forming a set. Adjacent sets are connected by mating. The sides of the end caps are machined with connection holes and plug-in plates, allowing each set of end caps to be plugged into adjacent sets. The installation components facilitate the installation and replacement of the magnesium rod.
[0025] By placing magnesium rods at the bottom of the radiator, the easily corroded bottom water accumulation area can be specifically protected. The magnesium rods are also removable and replaceable for easy maintenance. In addition, the magnesium rods made of specific alloy materials can slow down the consumption rate and reduce the risk of disintegration and pollution.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting component 3 includes a mounting base 31 and a fastener 32 detachably connected to the mounting base. The mounting base 31 has a mounting groove 33 adapted to the magnesium rod. The magnesium rod 4 is placed in the mounting groove 33 and is fastened to the mounting base by the fastener 32.
[0027] By setting a mounting base, the magnesium rod can be supported, making it easy to install the magnesium rod at the bottom of the end cap. By setting a fastener that can be detachably connected to the mounting base, the magnesium rod can be fixed in the mounting groove. By setting the mounting groove to match the shape of the magnesium rod, it is easy to install the magnesium rod.
[0028] Preferably, the magnesium rod is a magnesium-aluminum alloy rod, in which the mass fraction of magnesium is 60%-80% and the mass fraction of aluminum is 20%-40%.
[0029] By using magnesium-aluminum alloy materials, the consumption rate of magnesium rods can be slowed down while maintaining high electrochemical activity, adapting to complex water quality environments and extending service life.
[0030] Furthermore, the surface of the magnesium rod is coated with an anti-corrosion coating made of epoxy resin. The anti-corrosion coating has several micropores.
[0031] By applying an anti-corrosion coating to the surface of the magnesium rod, the coating can slow down the corrosion of the magnesium rod in the non-working state. By creating micropores, the magnesium rod can be in contact with water in the working state to play an anti-corrosion role, thereby further extending the service life of the magnesium rod.
[0032] Specifically, the magnesium rods are 5-15cm in length and 2-5cm in diameter. This size range ensures corrosion protection while avoiding excessive space occupation or increased costs due to oversized rods.
[0033] Preferably, the shape of the magnesium rod is adapted to the curvature of the bottom of the radiator, with a length of 10cm and a diameter of 3cm, so that the magnesium rod fits better with the bottom of the radiator, expands the protection range, and improves the anti-corrosion effect.
[0034] Preferably, the mounting base 31 is a semi-circular elongated cylinder with external threads at both ends, and the fixing member 32 is an end cap with internal threads. The end cap is threaded to both ends of the mounting base, and multiple through holes are provided on the end cap.
[0035] For ease of installation, the mounting base is designed as a semi-circular elongated cylinder to facilitate the installation of the magnesium rod. Both ends of the mounting base are hollow cylinders for easy connection with the end caps. The shape of the mounting base also matches the bottom surface of the end cap, improving installation convenience. A threaded connection allows for detachable connection between the fastener and the mounting base, resulting in a simple structure, convenient operation, and easy replacement of the magnesium rod. The through-hole design ensures sufficient contact between water and the magnesium rod, guaranteeing effective sacrificial anode effect.
[0036] When using, first place the magnesium rod in the mounting base, then put the fasteners on both ends of the mounting base and tighten them with threads. The fasteners limit and fix the magnesium rod, preventing it from falling out of the mounting base. When the magnesium rod needs to be replaced, simply unscrew the end caps on both sides to replace it, increasing convenience.
[0037] Furthermore, springs 34 are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting groove 33. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the other end is in contact with the magnesium rod.
[0038] By installing a spring in the mounting slot, which works in conjunction with the fixing component, the limiting and fixing effect on the magnesium rod is enhanced, ensuring that the magnesium rod will not move or fall off within the mounting base.
[0039] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting groove 33 is provided with a buffer layer, and the buffer layer is made of rubber.
[0040] By setting an elastic buffer layer, the magnesium rod can be cushioned and protected, reducing damage caused by vibration and other factors during installation and use, while also enhancing the seal between the magnesium rod and the mounting base.
[0041] Preferably, the inner wall of the end cap 2 is fitted with a welding plate 21, and the mounting base 31 is welded to the welding plate.
[0042] By setting up a welding plate, the magnesium rod can be stably fixed to the bottom of the end cap, preventing damage due to long-term use or violent shaking, and effectively avoiding the failure of the internal anti-corrosion function of the radiator.
[0043] The bottom surface of the welding plate and the inner wall of the end cap can be joined by an adhesive. The adhesive should be a high-temperature resistant material to prevent melting and failure during the assembly of the radiator.
[0044] Furthermore, connecting plates 35 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting base 31, and the mounting base is connected to the welding plate through the connecting plates.
[0045] By incorporating a connecting plate, the mounting base can be easily welded to the inner wall of the end cap. The welded connection is strong and reliable, ensuring the connection strength between the mounting base and the radiator body and preventing the mounting base from detaching during use.
[0046] Preferably, the radiator body 10 has a drain port at its bottom, with a valve at the drain port. The drain port can periodically drain accumulated water and impurities from the bottom of the radiator, reducing the accumulation of corrosive substances. At the same time, when replacing the magnesium rod, the drain port can drain the internal water, making the operation convenient.
[0047] In use, this invention involves installing a magnesium rod in a mounting groove at the bottom of the radiator body and securing it with an end cap. Water flows through a through-hole in the end cap and comes into contact with the magnesium rod, which acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes, protecting the radiator body from corrosion. When the magnesium rod is worn down to a certain level, it can be easily replaced by opening the end cap. The valve is periodically opened to drain accumulated water and impurities from the bottom of the radiator through the drain port, maintaining a healthy internal environment.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the bottom surface of the welding plate and the end cap can be connected by welding. The protruding part of the top of the welding plate can contact the inner wall of the heat sink, increasing the size and thickness of the weld. Brazing can be used for this welding. The welding plate enhances the welding strength.
[0050] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a corrosion-resistant radiator with a magnesium rod, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0051] 1) By placing the magnesium rod at the bottom of the radiator, it can directly protect the water accumulation area at the bottom, solving the problem of misalignment of the protection area in the existing technology and improving the anti-corrosion effect.
[0052] 2) The magnesium rod is installed using a mounting bracket and a detachable fastener. When the magnesium rod is worn down to a certain extent, it can be replaced simply by removing the fastener, without having to disassemble the entire radiator, thus reducing maintenance difficulty and cost.
[0053] 3) Magnesium rods made of magnesium-aluminum alloy slow down the consumption rate, extend service life, reduce the risk of alloy block disintegration, and reduce the possibility of debris contaminating the pipeline.
[0054] 4) The through holes on the end caps ensure full contact between water and the magnesium rod, ensuring that the magnesium rod can effectively exert the sacrificial anode effect; the elastic buffer layer on the inner wall of the mounting tank protects the magnesium rod; the anti-corrosion coating and microporous design on the surface of the magnesium rod further extend its service life.
[0055] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
