Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive heat exchanger technology, and in particular to a novel structured heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive radiator is a core component of the automotive cooling system. It mainly consists of a core, an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, and cooling fins. Its working principle is to introduce the high-temperature coolant generated during engine operation into the core, increase the contact area with the air through the cooling fins, and then complete the heat exchange with the help of vehicle movement or airflow from the cooling fan. After the coolant is cooled, it flows back to the engine for reuse, thus ensuring that the engine is always in a suitable operating temperature range and avoiding problems such as power loss and component damage caused by overheating. It is widely used in the power system cooling scenarios of various fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.
[0003] Conventional radiators are usually rectangular or square, taking up a lot of space. This high space occupancy rate squeezes the space for surrounding components and reduces the utilization rate of the internal space of the car frame. Therefore, we propose a new type of heat exchanger structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel heat exchanger structure.
[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a novel structure heat exchanger, including a shell assembly, an air heat dissipation assembly, a water heat dissipation assembly, and an oil heat dissipation assembly, wherein the air heat dissipation assembly is located inside the shell assembly, the water heat dissipation assembly is located inside the shell assembly, and the oil heat dissipation assembly is located inside the shell assembly; The housing assembly includes a cover plate, a first protective frame is fixedly installed at the rear end of the cover plate by bolts, a first side frame is fixedly connected to both ends of the first protective frame, a second protective frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first protective frame by bolts, a second side frame is fixedly connected to both ends of the second protective frame, and a third protective frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second protective frame by bolts, a third side frame is fixedly connected to both ends of the third protective frame.
[0006] The above technical solution enables the independent layering of three types of heat dissipation components—air, water, and oil—within the same housing. The housing's protective frames, borders, and sealing plates are detachably connected by bolts, ensuring the overall structural assembly stability and facilitating the subsequent inspection and replacement of individual components, thus significantly reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the integrated design effectively compresses the overall volume of the heat exchanger, reducing the space occupied by the vehicle frame.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the third protective frame is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the sealing plate, and the third protective frame and the third side frame form a trapezoidal structure after installation.
[0008] Through the above technical solutions, the trapezoidal structure can be precisely adapted to the irregular space inside the car frame, improving space utilization.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the air cooling component includes an air inlet pipe, the rear end of which is connected to a first radiator core, and one end of the first radiator core is connected to an air outlet pipe.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the air inlet pipe, the air outlet pipe and the first radiator core form an independent gas heat dissipation channel, which can realize the directional flow and efficient heat exchange of the gas medium.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surfaces of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two first frame parts, and the surface of the first radiator core is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first frame part.
[0012] The above technical solution enables the air cooling component to be securely installed within the cavity enclosed by the first protective frame and the first side frame, preventing the component from shifting due to vibrations during vehicle operation.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the water cooling component includes a water inlet pipe, the rear end of which is connected to a second radiator core, and one end of the second radiator core is connected to a water outlet pipe.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, an independent water medium heat dissipation channel is constructed. The inlet pipe and outlet pipe, together with the second radiator core, can quickly complete the heat exchange of the water medium and meet the heat dissipation requirements of the automotive water cooling system.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surfaces of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two second frame frames, and the surface of the second radiator core is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second protective frame.
[0016] The above technical solution allows the water cooling component to be securely installed in the second cavity, forming a physical isolation from the air cooling component, avoiding heat interference when different media are dissipating heat, and ensuring that the water cooling efficiency is not affected by other components.
[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the oil cooling assembly includes an oil inlet pipe, the rear end of which is connected to a third radiator core, and one end of the third radiator core is connected to an oil outlet pipe.
[0018] The above technical solution forms an independent oil medium heat dissipation channel, which is adapted to the heat dissipation requirements of the automotive oil system.
[0019] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surfaces of the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two third frame frames, the surface of the third radiator core is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third protective frame, and the third radiator core has a trapezoidal structure.
[0020] The above technical solution enables the stable installation of the oil cooling component, with the trapezoidal core and trapezoidal cavity being compatible, thus reducing space occupation.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model integrates air, water, and oil cooling functions into a single housing component, reducing the space occupied by the vehicle frame. The trapezoidal structure formed by the third guard frame and the third side frame can better utilize the space inside the vehicle frame and share the same cooling fan with other radiators, simplifying the layout of the vehicle's cooling system and making the structure more compact and reasonable.

A third side frame 107 is fixedly connected to both ends of the third protective frame 106. This heat exchanger adopts a layered integrated structure, integrating air, water, and oil heat dissipation functions into the same housing assembly 1, reducing the space occupied by the vehicle frame. The trapezoidal structure formed by the third protective frame and the third side frame can better utilize the space inside the vehicle frame, sharing the same cooling fan with other radiators, simplifying the layout of the vehicle's cooling system, and making the structure more compact and reasonable.
[0026] The bottom of the third protective frame 106 is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the sealing plate 101. After installation, the third protective frame 106 and the third frame 107 form a trapezoidal structure.
[0027] The air cooling assembly 2 includes an air inlet pipe 201, the rear end of which is connected to a first radiator core 202, and one end of the first radiator core 202 is connected to an air outlet pipe 203.
[0028] The surfaces of the air inlet pipe 201 and the air outlet pipe 203 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two first frame 103 respectively, and the surface of the first radiator core 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first frame 103.
[0029] The water cooling component 3 includes a water inlet pipe 301, the rear end of which is connected to a second radiator core 302, and one end of the second radiator core 302 is connected to a water outlet pipe 303.

[0033] The implementation principle of a novel heat exchanger in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, the radiator is first installed in the engine compartment of the car. A fan is installed at the front end of the sealing plate 101. The air inlet pipe 201 and air outlet pipe 203 are connected to corresponding pipes. The water inlet pipe 301 and water outlet pipe 303 are connected to corresponding pipes. The oil inlet pipe 401 and oil outlet pipe 403 are connected to corresponding pipes. Each medium enters the interior of the first radiator core 202, the second radiator core 302, and the third radiator core 402 through the corresponding liquid inlet pipes. When the airflow from the vehicle or the fan passes through the three cores inside the housing assembly 1, heat exchange occurs with the core tube walls, rapidly dissipating the heat from the gas, water, and oil media to the external environment. The dissipated media return to the corresponding system loop through the corresponding liquid outlet pipes, completing the heat dissipation cycle. This heat exchanger adopts a layered integrated structure, integrating the three heat dissipation functions of gas, water, and oil into the same housing assembly 1. The interior design reduces the space occupied by the car frame.

It can share the same cooling fan with other radiators, simplifying the layout of the vehicle's cooling system and making the structure more compact and reasonable.
