Modular Heat Exchanger With Connection Blocks For Electrical Device Cooling

The heat exchanger is divided into multiple modular units, each comprising a tube-type cooling path part and connection plates. These modular units can be independently assembled and then coupled together through connection blocks, allowing the electrical device to be inserted before final assembly. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling both efficient brazing coupling within modules and easy insertion during assembly.

The connection plates and connection blocks are designed to apply pressing force that dynamically adjusts the interval between tubes. During assembly, the electrical device can be inserted with sufficient clearance, but after assembly, the connection components exert force to tighten the contact between the electrical device and tubes. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by providing both easy insertion and tight pressing contact.

The pressing function is merged into the connection blocks that already serve to couple the modular units together. The connection blocks simultaneously provide mechanical connection between modules and apply the necessary pressing force to ensure tight contact between the electrical device and tubes. This merging eliminates the need for additional separate pressing plates, resolving the contradiction by providing pressing force without increasing structural complexity.

The connection blocks are designed with asymmetric features including protrusions and recesses that enable straightforward coupling in the stacking direction. This asymmetric design provides adaptability for multi-stage stacking while maintaining simple connection formation, as the protrusion-recess interface guides and secures the connection without requiring complex zigzag arrangements. The asymmetric connection blocks resolve the contradiction by enabling both stacking flexibility and easy connection formation.
