Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger having an improved brazing property between tubes with beads formed and tube insertion holes of header pipes.
  • a conventionally known heat exchanger has a plurality of tubes laminated, ends of the respective tubes inserted into tube insertion holes of header pipes, and the tubes brazed with the edges of the tube insertion holes.
  • a medium for heat exchange is meandered a plurality of times to flow between an inlet joint and an outlet joint, which are formed on the header pipes, through the tubes while performing heat exchange.
  • the tube used in the heat exchanger is known to be produced by folding a thin plate made of aluminum alloy or the like or laminating the two plates and brazing both ends of the plate in the breadth direction.
  • This tube has inward projections (hereinafter called “beads”) which are formed of bends on the plate produced by rolling. These beads serve as a reinforcing material to improve a pressure resistance of the tube by being brazed mutually or by being brazed with an opposed tube face to divide inside passages and also expand the heat conducting face against a medium to improve a heat exchanging efficiency.
  • the beads may be formed to continue in the longitudinal direction of the tube, in the form of circle or ellipse.
  • the header pipes used for the heat exchanger may be formed by forming a flat material of aluminum alloy into an annular tube or by assembling a header pipe material for an end plate and a tank plate from a radial direction.
  • Tube insertion holes of the header pipe are formed when the header pipe material is pressed. And, they are shaped to correspond to the cross sectional shape of the tube and generally slightly larger than the outer periphery of the tube so that the tube can be inserted.
  • a flat portion without the beads is formed at given portions of the tube (e.g., Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 8-200977), or a protruded face (hereinafter called "burring") is broadly formed at the edge of the tube insertion hole.
  • the tube is formed to have flat ends, the strength within the header pipe is lowered when it is brazed, and results in defectively brazing the tube and the header pipe. Therefore, the beads are also formed at the ends of the tube. Specifically, the flat portion is formed to locate between the adjacent beads with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tube.
  • the heat exchanger disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 8-49995 has a large number of beads formed at a given pitch in the longitudinal direction of the tube, and the burring which is longer than the given pitch is formed, so that the brazing face between the burring and the flat portion located between the beads is secured.
  • the heat exchanger disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 8-49995 has the beads on the burring, so that the burring is required to be formed longer than a required brazing width. But, forming a long burring is difficult and also limited because it involves draw forming of the header pipe material.
  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, which is formed by inserting ends of a tube having long beads formed to divide inside passages into tube insertion holes of header pipes and brazing the tube with edges of the tube insertion holes, wherein a flat portion without the beads is formed on the ends of the tube, a burring is formed on the edges of the tube insertion holes so to be brazed in contact with the flat portion, and the flat portion is formed to have a width in a longitudinal direction of the tube, the width being larger than that of the burring in the longitudinal direction of the tube.
  • the strength of the tube in the header pipes can be secured while brazing, defective brazing can be decreased, and even if the inserted degree of the tube is deviated to some extent, a brazing area can be secured.
  • a brazing property can be improved, and a pressure resistance involved can also be improved.
  • a heat exchanger 1 of the invention has a plurality of tubes 2, 2, which are stacked with fins 5, 5 intervened between them, connected to communicate with a pair of header tubes 3, 4 which are disposed on both ends of the tubes 2, 2.
  • the respective header pipes 3, 4 have upper and lower end openings closed by a blind cap 6 and their interior divided by partition plates 7 disposed at given locations. Besides, the header pipes are provided with an inlet joint 3a to receive a heat exchange medium and an output joint 4a to discharge the heat exchange medium outside.
  • the header pipes 3, 4 are formed into a cylindrical tube having a circular cross section. And, tube insertion holes 9 are formed in a longitudinal direction of the header pipes 3, 4 at predetermined intervals.
  • the tubes 2 have their ends brazed into the tube insertion holes 9.
  • a side plate 8 is disposed at the top and bottom of the layer of the tubes 2, 2. The side plate 8 has its ends fixed to the header pipes 3, 4 and reinforces a structural strength of the heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchange medium taken through the inlet joint 3a is meandered a plurality of times to flow between the header pipes 3, 4 in a unit of a given group of tubes 2, 2, passed through the tubes 2, 2 while heat-exchanging, and discharged from the outlet joint 4a. And, the heat exchange by the medium is promoted by the heat conduction by the fins 5, 5 intervened between the tubes 2, 2 and the side plate 8.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the neighborhood of the end of the tube 2 and the tube insertion hole 9.
  • the tube 2 and the header pipe 4 (or header pipe 3) are connected to communicate mutually by inserting the end of the tube 2 into the tube insertion hole 9 (in the direction of an arrow in the drawing) and brazing a flat portion 2a of the tube 2 and a burring 9a of the tube insertion hole 9.
  • the tube 2 is made of a plate (brazing sheet) having a brazing material claded on its inner face. Specifically, the tube 2 is formed into a flat shape having flat faces to face each other by forming joint sections 10, 10 at both ends in the breadth direction of the plate, and folding the plate at the center so to contact the joint sections 10, 10 mutually.
  • a plurality of beads 11, 11 are formed to continue on the flat faces and in the longitudinal direction of the tube 2, and a plurality of passages 12, 12 are formed by being divided by the beads 11, 11 inside the tube 2. Tops of the beads 11, 11 are brazed to the opposed inner face of the flat face.
  • the flat portion 2a is formed on a part of the tube 2 where the beads 11, 11 are not formed as indicated by chain lines. In this embodiment, it is formed by pressing back the beads which were once formed on the pertinent position.
  • the beads 11, 11 are formed at the middle and ends of the tube 2. And, the flat portion 2a is formed between the beads 11, 11 in the longitudinal direction of the tube 2.
  • the flat portion 2a is formed to have a width in the longitudinal direction of the tube 2 and larger than the width of a portion to contact with the burring 9a as described afterward.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state that one end of the tube 2 is inserted into the tube insertion hole 9 and the flat portion 2a is aligned in contact with the burring 9a.
  • the flat portion 2a and the burring 9a are mutually brazed in this state.
  • the burring 9a is formed into an arc to protrude from the end of the tube insertion hole 9 inwardly of the header pipe 4.
  • the flat portion 2a is formed to have a width large enough to accommodate the entire face of the burring and also its width is wider in the longitudinal direction of the tube. Specifically, a given interval is formed in the breadth direction of the tube 2 between the burring 9a and the beads 11, 11 and at the center and ends of the tube 2, and the flat portion 2a is positioned on the interval.
  • the tube 2 Since the beads 11, 11 are also formed at the ends of the tube 2, the tube 2 has its strength secured within the header pipe 4. Especially, it is not deformed by heat during brazing, and brazing property between the flat portion 2a and the burring 9a is improved.
  • Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view showing a state that the flat portion 2a is aligned with the burring 9a.
  • A indicates a width of the flat portion 2a in the longitudinal direction of the tube 2
  • B a width of the burring 9a in the longitudinal direction of the tube 2.
  • the width A of the flat portion 2a is larger than the width B of the burring 9a, so that a brazing area between the tube 2 and the header pipe 4 (header pipe 3) can be secured sufficiently. Therefore, even if an insertion degree of the end of the tube 2 is deviated, the brazing property can be improved, and the pressure resistance of the heat exchanger can be improved accordingly.
  • the heat exchanger of this embodiment has a simplified shape of the flat portion 2a so that it can be formed with ease as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the flat portion 2a of the first embodiment has boundaries with the same curvature as the burring 9a, but the flat portion 2a of this embodiment has linear boundaries. Since other structures are the same as in the first embodiment, their description is omitted.
  • A is a width of the flat portion 2a
  • B is a width of the burring 9a.
  • the flat portion is formed into a rectangular shape having the width A with respect to the arc-shaped burring brazing section, so that the flat portion can be formed simply and easily.
  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger which is formed by inserting ends of a tube having long beads formed to divide inside passages into tube insertion holes of header pipes and brazing the tube with edges of the tube insertion holes, wherein a flat portion without the beads is formed on the ends of the tube, a burring is formed on the edges of the tube insertion holes so to be brazed in contact with the flat portion, and the flat portion is formed to have a width in the longitudinal direction of the tube, which is larger than that of the burring in the longitudinal direction of the tube.
  • the tube's strength in the header pipe can be secured, and the brazing area can be secured even if the insertion degree of the tube is deviated to some extent.
  • the brazing property can be improved, and the pressure resistance involved can be improved.
