Description

本発明は、コンデンサ、エバポレータ、ヒータコア、ラジエータ等の熱交換器のヘッダタンクに関する。   The present invention relates to a header tank of a heat exchanger such as a condenser, an evaporator, a heater core, or a radiator.

一般に積層型熱交換器は、図2に示すように複数のチューブ1とフィン2とが交互に積層され、これらの積層されたチューブ1の一端側に入口側ヘッダタンク3が、他端側に出口側ヘッダタンク(図示せず)が連通接続されている。入口側ヘッダタンク3の適所には熱交換流体を導入する流入口3aが、他方の出口側ヘッダタンクの適所には熱交換流体を排出する流出口が設けられ、必要に応じてこれら流出入口間で熱交換流体が複数回蛇行して流れるように、両ヘッダタンク内の所要個所にヘッダタンク内を区切る仕切板(図示せず)が配設されている。また、両ヘッダタンクに設けられた流出入口には、一般にコネクタを介して熱交換流体を導入もしくは排出する配管(図示せず)が取り付けられている。   In general, a laminated heat exchanger has a plurality of tubes 1 and fins 2 alternately laminated as shown in FIG. 2, and an inlet-side header tank 3 is provided at one end side of the laminated tubes 1 and the other end side thereof. An outlet header tank (not shown) is connected in communication. An inlet 3a for introducing the heat exchange fluid is provided at a suitable place of the inlet side header tank 3, and an outlet for discharging the heat exchange fluid is provided at a suitable place of the other outlet side header tank. In order to allow the heat exchange fluid to meander and flow multiple times, a partition plate (not shown) that divides the header tank is disposed at a required location in both header tanks. Also, piping (not shown) for introducing or discharging a heat exchange fluid is generally attached to the outflow inlets provided in both header tanks via a connector.

このような積層型熱交換器のヘッダタンク3は、耐圧強度を必要とすること、及びフィンとチューブとよりなるコア部とヘッダタンクとを組み付けした後にろう付けするという製造上の理由から、一般に金属材料、特にアルミニウム材料で作られていた。しかしながら、金属材料から作られるヘッダタンクは、材料コスト及び製造コストが高くなるという問題があった。
そのために金属材料に代えて樹脂材料によりヘッダタンクを作ることも考えられたが、その場合は、ヘッダタンクの耐圧強度が不足するという問題がある。これは、内部に案内板を設けていないヘッダタンクにおいて、特に著しかった。
The header tank 3 of such a stacked heat exchanger generally requires pressure resistance strength and is generally manufactured for the reason of brazing after assembling the core portion and the header tank composed of fins and tubes. Made of metal material, especially aluminum material. However, the header tank made of a metal material has a problem that the material cost and the manufacturing cost increase.
For this reason, it has been considered that the header tank is made of a resin material instead of the metal material, but in this case, there is a problem that the pressure resistance of the header tank is insufficient. This was particularly remarkable in a header tank that did not have a guide plate inside.

本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、耐圧強度が十分に確保でき、かつ材料コスト及び製造コストを削減することができる熱交換器のヘッダタンクを提供することである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a header tank of a heat exchanger that can sufficiently ensure pressure resistance and can reduce material costs and manufacturing costs. .

本発明は、前記課題を解決するための手段として、特許請求の範囲の各請求項に記載の熱交換器のヘッダタンクを提供する。
請求項1に記載の熱交換器のヘッダタンクは、ヘッダタンクが樹脂材料から形成されていて、その内部に補強リブを設けるようにしたものであり、これにより、ヘッダタンクの耐圧強度を上げることができ、樹脂製のヘッダタンクを可能にしたものである。また、ヘッダタンクの材料コスト及び製造コストを削減できる。
This invention provides the header tank of the heat exchanger as described in each claim of a claim as a means for solving the said subject.
The header tank of the heat exchanger according to claim 1 is such that the header tank is made of a resin material and is provided with reinforcing ribs inside thereof, thereby increasing the pressure resistance of the header tank. It is possible to make a header tank made of resin. Moreover, the material cost and manufacturing cost of the header tank can be reduced.

請求項2の該ヘッダタンクは、補強リブにヘッダタンク内の熱交換流体を整流する整流板を兼用させたものであり、これにより、ヘッダタンク内の熱交換流体を各チューブに出来るだけ均等に分配することができ、熱交換効率を向上させることができる。
請求項3の該ヘッダタンクは、補強リブをヘッダタンクと一体に形成するようにしたものであり、これにより、ヘッダタンクの製造効率を改善でき、製造コストを下げることができる。
The header tank according to claim 2 is configured such that the reinforcing rib also serves as a rectifying plate for rectifying the heat exchange fluid in the header tank, whereby the heat exchange fluid in the header tank is evenly distributed to each tube as much as possible. The heat exchange efficiency can be improved.
The header tank according to the third aspect is such that the reinforcing rib is formed integrally with the header tank, whereby the manufacturing efficiency of the header tank can be improved and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

以下、図面に基づいて本発明の実施の形態の熱交換器のヘッダタンクについて説明する。図1は、本発明の熱交換器のヘッダタンクの正面図及び平面図を示している。熱交換器は、熱交換流体が流通する複数の扁平状のチューブ1と波状のフィン(コルゲートフィン)2とが交互に積層され、これらの積層されたチューブ2の両端側にはヘッダプレート4が接続していて、このヘッダプレート4を覆うようにしてヘッダタンク3(図面においては片側のヘッダタンクのみが示されている)が設けられている。一方のヘッダタンク3には、外部から熱交換流体を導入する流入口3aが設けられ、他方のヘッダタンク(図示せず)には、熱交換が終了した熱交換流体を外部に排出する流出口(図示せず)が設けられている。従ってヘッダタンク3は、複数本のチューブ1内を流通する熱交換流体を分配集合させている。このようにして、チューブ1内を通る熱交換流体とチューブ1外のフィン2を通る空気との間で熱交換が行われる。なお、チューブ1とフィン2とから構成されるコア部の、チューブ1の長手方向に直交する方向の両端部には、サイドプレート6が設けられていて、コア部を補強している。   Hereinafter, a header tank of a heat exchanger according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1: has shown the front view and top view of the header tank of the heat exchanger of this invention. In the heat exchanger, a plurality of flat tubes 1 and corrugated fins (corrugated fins) 2 through which a heat exchange fluid flows are alternately stacked, and header plates 4 are provided at both ends of the stacked tubes 2. A header tank 3 (only one header tank is shown in the drawing) is provided so as to cover the header plate 4. One header tank 3 is provided with an inlet 3a for introducing heat exchange fluid from the outside, and the other header tank (not shown) is an outlet for discharging the heat exchange fluid after heat exchange to the outside. (Not shown) is provided. Therefore, the header tank 3 distributes and collects the heat exchange fluid flowing through the plurality of tubes 1. In this way, heat exchange is performed between the heat exchange fluid passing through the tube 1 and the air passing through the fins 2 outside the tube 1. In addition, the side plate 6 is provided in the both ends of the core part comprised from the tube 1 and the fin 2 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the tube 1, and the core part is reinforced.

次に本発明の特徴であるヘッダタンク3について説明する。本発明においては、ヘッダタンク3が樹脂材料の成形加工によって形成される。この樹脂材料には、ガラス繊維又はカーボン繊維等の補強繊維を添加してもよい。この樹脂製のヘッダタンク3は、従来の金属製のヘッダタンクに比べて、耐圧強度で劣る恐れがある。そのため、本発明では、この樹脂製のヘッダタンク3の内部に耐圧強度の強化を図るために補強リブ5を設けている。樹脂材料としては、公知の熱可塑性の樹脂であれば使用可能である。   Next, the header tank 3 which is a feature of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, the header tank 3 is formed by molding a resin material. A reinforcing fiber such as glass fiber or carbon fiber may be added to the resin material. This resin header tank 3 may be inferior in pressure resistance compared to a conventional metal header tank. Therefore, in the present invention, the reinforcing rib 5 is provided in the resin header tank 3 in order to enhance the pressure strength. As the resin material, any known thermoplastic resin can be used.

この補強リブ5の形状は、ヘッダタンク3の耐圧強度を高めることができるならどのような形状でもよいが、熱交換流体が各チューブ1に万遍無く行き渡るように整流作用をもつような形状が好ましい。図1に示される補強リブ5は、ヘッダタンク3の流入口3aから対向する側面に向かって湾曲板状に設けられていて、流入口3aから導入される熱交換流体が左右に分配されて、ヘッダタンク3内部に行き渡るようになっている。   The shape of the reinforcing rib 5 may be any shape as long as the pressure resistance of the header tank 3 can be increased. However, the shape of the reinforcing rib 5 has a rectifying action so that the heat exchange fluid can be uniformly distributed to each tube 1. preferable. The reinforcing rib 5 shown in FIG. 1 is provided in a curved plate shape from the inlet 3a of the header tank 3 toward the opposite side surface, and the heat exchange fluid introduced from the inlet 3a is distributed to the left and right, It reaches the inside of the header tank 3.

図1においては、補強リブ5は1つしか設けられていないが、複数設けることも可能である。また、図1では、熱交換流体が導入される側のヘッダタンク3にしか補強リブ5が設けられていないが、熱交換流体が排出される側のヘッダタンク3にも、当然補強リブ5が設けられるものである。この場合、補強リブ5の形状を、各チューブ1からの熱交換流体が流出口に向かって集められるような形状にすることが好ましい。   In FIG. 1, only one reinforcing rib 5 is provided, but a plurality of reinforcing ribs 5 may be provided. In FIG. 1, the reinforcing rib 5 is provided only in the header tank 3 on the side where the heat exchange fluid is introduced. It is provided. In this case, the shape of the reinforcing rib 5 is preferably such that the heat exchange fluid from each tube 1 is collected toward the outlet.

この補強リブ5は、ヘッダタンク3と別体で形成し、後にヘッダタンク3の内壁に固着するようにしてもよいが、好ましくは、ヘッダタンク3と一体に成形加工により形成される。こうすることにより、作業手順が減り、補強リブ付きヘッダタンクを安価に製造できる。   The reinforcing rib 5 may be formed separately from the header tank 3 and may be fixed to the inner wall of the header tank 3 later. Preferably, the reinforcing rib 5 is formed integrally with the header tank 3 by molding. By doing so, the work procedure is reduced, and the header tank with the reinforcing rib can be manufactured at low cost.

以上説明したように、本発明では、ヘッダタンクに補強リブを設けることによって、耐圧強度を十分に確保できるヘッダタンクを樹脂材料で形成することができ、材料及び製造コストの削減を図ることができる。また、補強リブに熱交換流体を整流させる整流板としての機能をもたせることによって、熱交換流体を各チューブに略平等に分配させることができ、熱交換効率を改善することもできる。   As described above, in the present invention, by providing the header tank with the reinforcing rib, the header tank that can sufficiently secure the pressure strength can be formed of the resin material, and the material and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. . Further, by providing the reinforcing rib with a function as a rectifying plate that rectifies the heat exchange fluid, the heat exchange fluid can be distributed to each tube substantially equally, and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

本発明の実施の形態の熱交換器のヘッダタンクの正面図と平面図である。It is the front view and top view of the header tank of the heat exchanger of embodiment of this invention. 従来の熱交換器のヘッダタンクである。It is the header tank of the conventional heat exchanger.
