Technical Problem

但是,在目前日趋激烈的汽车业成本竞争大环境下,由于采用密封条的密封安装设计方式会涉及到额外的单零件成本及额外的空调箱总装装配工时,其生产制造成本较高的劣势日益凸显

Benefits of technology

[0018]本实用新型中的蒸发器箱使用蒸发器壳体的安装凹槽直接安装蒸发器芯体,其中安装凹槽内沿第三方向相对设置的两侧内壁均设置有安装凸起,安装凸起与蒸发器芯体的外壁过盈连接,从而实现对蒸发器芯体沿第三方向的限位,与安装凹槽的配合作用下,即可实现对蒸发器芯体的固定;同时安装凹槽的内壁还设置有沿第二方向间隔设置的密封筋,密封筋沿第三方向延伸设置并抵接于蒸发器芯体的外壁,任意相邻两个上述密封筋与上述蒸发器芯体的外壁围设成一密闭腔体,也即多个密封筋形成了对蒸发器芯体沿第一方向两端外壁的密封,避免旁通空气泄漏,提高了蒸发器芯体的换热效率。该蒸发器箱能够牢固地固定蒸发器芯体,提高了蒸发器芯体外周的密封性能,且固定方式简便,无需额外采用密封件进行密封,能够降低物料成本和装配工时成本。
