Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a first heat exchange device 1 according to the present invention.
The heat exchange device 1 at least comprises a first flow passage 101 and a second flow passage, and fluid in the first flow passage 101 can exchange heat with fluid in the second flow passage; the fluid in the first flow passage 101 may be a refrigerant and the fluid in the second flow passage may be a cooling fluid. The heat exchange device may also have a third flow passage, a fourth flow passage, etc.
The heat exchange device 1 comprises a valve core component 11, a core component 12 and a connecting piece 13, wherein the valve core component 11 and the core component 12 are assembled and fixed, and the connecting piece is assembled and fixed with the core component. The spool member 11 may be, for example, a spool structure of an expansion valve.
The core member 12 includes a top press piece 122, a plate portion 121, and a bottom press piece 123, and the top press piece 122, the plate portion 121, and the bottom press piece 123 are welded and fixed. The core member 12 has at least a first duct 1211, a second duct 1213 and a plate-to-plate passage 1212, the first duct 1211, the plate-to-plate passage 1212 and the second duct 1213 are connected, and the first flow passage 101 includes a portion of the first duct 1211, the second duct 1213 and the plate-to-plate passage 1212.
Herein, the first orifice 1211, the second orifice 1213 are orifices when the core member 12 is not assembled with the valve core member 11. After the first and second passages 1211, 1213 are fitted with the spool member or the connector, even if there is a member or a part located in another member, it is intended herein that the member or the part is located in the first or second passage as long as the member is located in the first or second passage of the core member.
At least a portion of the spool member 11 extends into the first passage 1211, and at least a portion of the connector 13 extends into the first passage 1211.
The core member 12 has a plurality of plates stacked one on another, and each adjacent plate is welded and fixed to the other, and each plate has at least a first hole and a second hole, and the first holes of the plates are aligned with each other and the second holes of the plates are aligned with each other along the stacking direction of the plates. The first and second holes are located adjacent to the edges of the plate, so that the fluid flowing through the plate can have a longer flow path, which helps to improve the heat exchange efficiency. The first apertures of each plate are aligned to form a portion of the first aperture 1211 and the second apertures of each plate are aligned to form a portion of the second aperture 1213.
The top press piece 122 has a third hole 1221, the third hole 1221 being aligned with the first hole, and the bottom press piece 123 has a communication hole 1231, the communication hole 1231 being aligned with the first hole.
The heat exchange device 1 comprises a communication channel 103 and another communication channel 104, the communication channel 103 is communicated with the connecting channel 138 of the connecting piece 13, and the another communication channel 104 can be communicated with the second hole 1213, so that fluid can enter from the communication channel 103, passes through the connecting channel of the connecting piece 13, enters the first hole after being throttled and regulated by the valve core component 11, and then enters the plate-to-plate channel 1212 of the core component 12 to exchange heat with the fluid of the second hole, and the flow path is simple and the heat exchange efficiency is high. Of course, in other cases, the other communication passage 104 may not directly communicate with the second cell 1213, for example, a pipe may be provided in the second cell 1213 to communicate with the other communication passage 104. In other cases, the other communication channel 104 may not be in communication with the interplate channels 1212 through the second cell channels 1213, the other communication channel 104 may be disposed on the side of the core member 12 where the communication channel 103 is disposed, and the other communication channel 104 may be adjacent to the communication channel 103 and not in direct communication with the communication channel 103.
The core member 12 has a first side 124 and a second side 126, at least part of the core member 11 is located at the first side 124, and a communication passage 138 is located at the second side 126, the communication passage communicating with the connection passage. For example, the spool member 11 includes a coil portion 1120, and the coil portion 1120 is located at the first side portion 124.
The valve body member 11 has a valve seat portion 111, at least a portion of the valve seat portion 111 is located in the first bore 1211, the valve seat portion 111 has a peripheral opening 1113, an orifice 1114, and a bottom opening 1115, the peripheral opening 1113 communicates with the first bore 1211 and with the inter-plate passage 1212, the connector 13 has a connection passage 138, one end of the connector 13 is located in the first bore 1211, the bottom opening 1115 communicates with the connection passage 138 of the connector 13, and the connection passage 138 does not directly communicate with the first bore 1211. The spool member 11 may be a spool portion of an electronic expansion valve. In this way, fluid from the connecting channel 138 of the connecting piece 13 can enter the interplate channels 1212 through the bottom opening 1115, the orifice 1114, the peripheral opening 1113 and the first bore 1211, so that the fluid can exchange heat with the fluid between the adjacent plates inside the plate portion 121. The peripheral openings 1113 may communicate directly with the first port 1211 or may communicate directly with the interplate passages 1212.
Herein, the fact that the connecting passage is not directly communicated with the first duct does not exclude the transition communication between the two through a flow passage provided by other components.
The valve seat portion 111 has a base section 1111 having a bottom opening 1115 and a middle section 1112 having a peripheral opening 1113, the middle section 1112 being adjacent to the first side 124 of the core component 12 relative to the base section 1111 in the stacking direction of the core components 12. The middle section 1112 is located in the first passage 1211, so that the depth of the valve core component 11 assembled to the core component 12 is relatively deep, which helps to reduce the height of the valve core component 11 protruding from the core component 12, and helps to make the overall structure smaller and more compact. When the valve element component is in an open state, the communication channel, the connecting channel, the bottom opening, the throttle hole, the peripheral opening, the first hole channel, the plate-to-plate channel and the second hole channel are communicated.
The fluid entering the heat exchange device not only can realize throttling depressurization, but also the fluid entering the interplate channels 1212 from the peripheral opening 1113 through the first hole channel can directly exchange heat with the fluid of the interplate channels 1212 adjacent to each other, and throttling and heat exchange can be completed in the core body component 12, so that not only is the phase stability of the fluid facilitated, but also the heat exchange efficiency is improved.
It should be noted that the base section and the middle section are defined by name difference and not by structure.
The side of the core component 12, which is provided with the valve core component 11, is taken as the upper side, and the middle section 1112 is positioned above the connecting piece 13; after entering from the bottom opening 1115, the fluid passes through the orifice 1114 and then flows out from the peripheral opening 1113, so that the fluid that has just entered the core member 12 is depressurized by the expansion valve, exits from the peripheral opening 1113, enters the interplate passages 1212, and exchanges heat with the fluid in the second flow passage. Throttling and pressure reduction of the refrigerant are completed inside the core body part 12, connection with a subsequent heat exchange link is smooth, and the heat exchange efficiency of subsequent heat exchange is reduced due to the fact that factors such as gas-liquid stratification of the refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction in a longer pipeline are caused by pipeline arrangement.
The connecting element 13 has an annular wall 131, and the valve seat 111 is sealed with the annular wall 131, for example, in a radial or axial manner.

The first end 134 has a stopper groove 136, and the stopper groove 136 is positioned opposite to the second groove 1117.

Thus, the depth of the valve core component 11 assembled to the core component 12 is deeper, which helps to reduce the height of the valve core component 11 protruding from the core component 12, and helps to make the overall structure smaller and more compact.
The coupling member 13 has an annular wall portion 131, and the valve seat portion 111 is provided in a sealing manner with the annular wall portion 131. The height of the annular wall portion 131 is larger than the height of the base section 1111 in the sheet stacking direction of the core member 12.

The side of the core component 12, which is provided with the valve core component 11, is taken as the upper side, and the middle section 1112 is positioned above the connecting piece 13; after entering from the bottom opening 1115, the fluid passes through the orifice 1114 and then flows out from the peripheral opening 1113, so that the fluid that has just entered the core member 12 is depressurized by the expansion valve, and then exits from the peripheral opening 1113, and can enter the interplate passages 1212 to exchange heat with the fluid in the second flow passage. Throttling and pressure reduction of the refrigerant are completed inside the core body part 12, connection with a subsequent heat exchange link is smooth, and the heat exchange efficiency of subsequent heat exchange is reduced due to the fact that factors such as gas-liquid stratification of the refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction in a longer pipeline are caused by pipeline arrangement.
Connector 13 has a first end 134 and a second end 135, first end 134 being disposed in cooperation with valve seat portion 111 and second end 135 being disposed in cooperation with bottom block 123.

The flange 137 is located between the plate portion 121 and the bottom pressing block 123, but the location of the flange 137 between the plate portion 121 and the bottom pressing block 123 is not limited to the fact that the flange 137 is necessarily in contact with the plate portion 121 and the bottom pressing block 123, and here, it is only shown that the flange 137 is located between a partial structure of the plate portion 121 and a partial structure of the bottom pressing block 123.
The flange portion 137 is limited between the plate portion 121 and the bottom press block 123, and can be used to determine the position of the connecting member 13 in the core component 12, stabilize the sealing engagement between the connecting member 13 and the base section 1111, and facilitate the assembly of the connecting member 13 and the core component 11.
The heat exchange device has a second sealing member 15, for example in the form of a gasket, the second sealing member 15 being located between the flange portion 137 and the plate portion 121 for sealing the first aperture 1211. The bottom pressing block 123 has a screw hole 1233, and the bottom pressing block 123 and the plate portion 121 can be fixed by a screw inserted into the screw hole, and the seal between the flange portion 137 and the plate portion 121 can be compressed by the screw fixation. In addition, a third sealing element can be arranged between the flange part 137 and the bottom pressing block 123 of the heat exchange device, so that the connection piece 13 and the core body component 12 are sealed through axial sealing, the sealing performance of the heat exchange device is stabilized, and meanwhile, the processing is simple.
Because the connecting element 13 has two sealing points, the sealing between the connecting element 13 and the valve seat 111 is realized by placing the sealing element in the groove of the base section 1111, so that the base section 1111 and the inner wall of the connecting element 13 are radially sealed, and at this time, the inner wall of the connecting element 13 has a certain roughness requirement, and additional processing treatment needs to be performed on the inner wall of the connecting element 13 to ensure the matching performance required by sealing.
At another sealing point of the connecting member 13, the flange portion 137 is pressed by the bottom pressing block 123, so that the flange portion 137 and the plate portion 121 are axially sealed, and a sealing member is arranged between the flange portion 137 and the plate portion 121, so that the flange portion and the plate portion 121 are sealed in an axial sealing manner, and at this time, the requirement on the roughness of the portion where the flange portion 137 and the plate portion 121 are matched is lower than the requirement on the roughness required in radial sealing. Therefore, the processing of the connecting member 13 is mainly concerned with the matching of the inner wall of the connecting member 13 and the base section 1111, and has fewer processing considerations, simple processing and easy implementation.
