DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0024] Referring to
[0025] In a case that the heat exchange plate 10 has two or more different protrusions, that is, the heat exchange plate 10 has at least the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13, and the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 meet ?1/Dp1<?2/Dp2. In this case, the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the first groove 14, located on the back side of the first protrusion 12, on the plane where the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 is located is smaller than the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the second groove 15, located on the back side of the second protrusion 13, on the plane where the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 is located, that is, ?1<?2, and the depth of the first groove 14 relative to the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 is greater than the depth of the second groove 15 relative to the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11. When processing the protrusions of the heat exchange plate 10, since ?1<?2, the deformation of the heat exchange plate 10 in an area where the first protrusion 12 is located is greater than the deformation of the heat exchange plate 10 in an area where the second protrusion 13 is located, which easily causes the thinning degree of the material of the top of the first protrusion 12 to be greater than the thinning degree of the material of the top of the second protrusion 13. That is, a thickness of the top of the first protrusion 12 is smaller than a thickness of the top of the second protrusion 13, which easily causes the top of the first protrusion 12 to be lower than the top of the second protrusion 13. By increasing the depth Dp1 of the first groove 14, that is, by making the depth Dp1 of the first groove 14 greater than the depth Dp2 of the second groove 15, the thinned amount of the top of the first protrusion 12 is compensated through the depth of the first groove 14, which reduces the height difference between the top of the first protrusion 12 and the top of the second protrusion 13, and thereby reducing pseudo soldering of the heat exchanger 1. In addition, this parameter relationship between the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 makes the heat exchanger 1 have better heat exchange performance, structural molding characteristics of the heat exchange plate 10 should also be taken in to account in design for manufacturing. The difference in material molding is considered in obtaining a structure of the heat exchange plate 10 which facilitates heat exchange, and the heat exchange requirement and manufacturing characteristics of the heat exchanger 1 are satisfied at the same time.
[0026] The base plate refers to the part of the heat exchange plate without protrusions or grooves, and may be a flat part around a corner hole of the heat exchange plate or a flat part between adjacent protrusions or grooves.
[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0028] In some specific embodiments, as shown in
[0029] As shown in
[0030] The first corner hole 31 and the fourth corner hole 34 may be provided on a same side of the heat exchange plate 10, and the second corner hole 32 and the triangular hole 33 are provided on the other side of the heat exchange plate 10, so as to realize diagonal flow of the heat exchange fluid, that is, an inlet and an outlet of the fluid channel are located on different sides of the heat exchange plate.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, the first protrusions 12 may be wave-shaped protrusions, the multiple wave-shaped protrusions are arranged along the length direction of the heat exchange plate 10, and a recess 18 is formed between two adjacent wave-shaped protrusions. Specifically, as shown in
[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0033] The asymmetric structure of the heat exchange plate may employ other structures. As shown in
[0034] It can be understood that the first protrusion 12 may also employ other structures such as a dotted wave in addition to the wave-shaped protrusion. As shown in
[0035] As shown in
[0036] In some specific embodiments, as shown in
[0037] In some specific embodiments, the heat exchange plate 10 is an aluminum alloy plate, and the thickness H of the base plate 11 is generally about 0.4 to 0.5 mm. The maximum width ?1 of the orthographic projection of the first groove 14 on the plane where the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 is located and the depth Dp1 of the first groove 14 relative to the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 meet the following relationship: 2.5??1/DP1?5, and the maximum width ?2 of the orthographic projection of the second groove 15 on the plane where the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 is located and the depth Dp2 of the second groove 15 relative to the second side surface 112 of the base plate 11 meet the following relationship: 3.5??2/DP2?7, so that the area where the first protrusion 12 is located has a good heat exchange performance, and the top of the second protrusion 13 has a sufficient thickness to ensure the strength of the heat exchange plate 10. Specifically, on one hand, the first protrusion 12 meets the technical requirement of 2.5??1/DP1?5, and the heat exchange performance of the product is preferentially ensured in the area corresponding to the first protrusion 12. For example, the first protrusion 12 is provided in the heat exchange area 60 to preferentially ensure the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange area 60, that is, the superior material stretching design is realized through the first protrusion 12, which provides more heat exchange area and more detailed heat exchange space and structure. On the other hand, the second protrusion 13 meets the technical requirement of 3.5??2/DP2?7, and the heat exchange performance and the reliability of the product are balanced in the area corresponding to the second protrusion 13. For example, the second protrusion 13 is provided in the corner hole area or the flow guide area between the corner hole area and the heat exchange area, through appropriate material stretching, the wall thickness of the fluid channel and the strength of the welded structure are ensured while the flow and the heat exchange requirements in the corresponding area are met. In addition, fluid distribution is preferentially embodied in terms of structural functions of the overall product in such areas, and the technical requirement of 3.5??2/DP2?7 is also advantageous.
[0038] By providing the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 in the heat exchange plate 10, and making the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 meet the above parameter relationship, the heat exchanger 1 has the technical effects of superior heat exchange performance and reliable structure. On one hand, in the heat exchange area 60, the fluid channel corresponding to the second side surface of the base plate 11 has a denser and more uniform arrangement of solder-joints, which strengthens the heat exchange effect, improves the structure of the fluid channel, and especially suitable for an application scenario where a refrigerant is mainly taken into account. The first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 meet the above parameter relationship, which is more beneficial to the uniformity of material molding. Logically, more material is required to be thinned to obtain a superior heat exchange performance, which requires that the heat exchange plate 10 is ensured to be uniformly molded during processing, to reduce the differences of maximum thinned amounts in different areas as much as possible, and thus avoiding local short board in the structure of product. After the heat exchange performance and material molding characteristics of the product are effectively explored, the present application seeks a common benefit area for the heat exchange performance and product strength on the premise of meeting the technical requirements. On the other hand, the two ends of the heat exchange plate 10 are key positions for the strength and fluid distribution of the heat exchanger 1. The corner hole area of the present application preferentially ensures strength and distribution, and the superior heat exchange performance and the reliable product structure are also considered.
