In the heat exchanger, the connection between the components can be achieved with an adhesive or solder. For example, to achieve a connection between two parts, an adhesive or solder may be provided on the outer surface of one of the two parts, and the two parts may then be assembled.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
In the heat exchanger, the connection between the components can be achieved with an adhesive or solder. For example, to achieve a connection between two parts, an adhesive or solder may be provided on the outer surface of one of the two parts, and the two parts may then be assembled. However, since the outer surface of the component is smoother, less adhesive and solder remains on the surface of the component, making it difficult to achieve a reliable connection between the two components. In addition, since the outer surface of the component is smooth, it is difficult for the coating to firmly bond with the outer surface of the component.
To this end, the present application provides a heat exchanger, for example as shown in fig. 1, 3, 5 and 6, comprising a base body including a first base body 11 and a second base body 12, at least one of the first base body 11 and the second base body 12 having a groove, the groove 3 being recessed inwardly from an outer surface of at least one of the first base body 11 and the second base body 12. The grooves include a first groove 31 and a second groove 32, the first groove 31 is filled with an adhesive or solder, the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with both the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the coating 2 is provided on the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, and at least part of the coating 2 is located in the second groove 32.
In the present application, at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate has a groove, which includes a first groove and a second groove. The first groove is filled with adhesive or solder, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove is in contact with both the first substrate and the second substrate. The first groove can contain more adhesive or solder for connecting the first matrix and the second matrix, so that the connection between the first matrix and the second matrix is more reliable. The coating is at least partially located within the second recess, thereby increasing the bonding force of the coating to the heat exchanger matrix.
In some embodiments, the substrate includes a third substrate 13 with which the adhesive or solder filled in the first grooves 31 is in contact. That is, the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with each of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, thereby achieving the connection of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13.
Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 1, the heat exchanger 100 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 101, a plurality of fins 102, and two headers 103. The heat exchange tube 101 is fixedly connected with the collecting pipe 103, the heat exchange tube 101 is in sealing connection with the collecting pipe 103, and the inner cavity of the heat exchange tube 101 is communicated with the inner cavity of the collecting pipe 103. The plurality of heat exchange tubes 101 are arranged along the length direction of the header 103. The thickness direction of the heat exchange tube 101 is parallel to the length direction of the header 103, and the width direction of the heat exchange tube 101 is perpendicular to the length direction of the header 103. The thickness direction of the heat exchange tube 101 may refer to the X direction in fig. 1 and 2, the width direction of the heat exchange tube 101 may refer to the Y direction in fig. 2, and the length direction of the heat exchange tube 101 may refer to the Z direction in fig. 1 and 2. Wherein, X direction, Y direction and Z direction are mutually perpendicular between two by two. The fin 102 is located between two adjacent heat exchange tubes 101, and the fin 102 is fixedly connected with the two heat exchange tubes 101 adjacent thereto. The fins 102 are corrugated along the length of the heat exchange tube 101. The arrangement of the fins 102 can enlarge the heat exchange area of two adjacent heat exchange tubes 101, and improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 100. In some embodiments, a partial region of the fins 102 may be provided with a window structure to form louvered fins to further enhance heat transfer.
In some embodiments, a plurality of independent channels (micro-channels) are arranged in parallel inside one heat exchange tube 101, as shown in fig. 3, and the heat exchanger thus formed is a micro-channel heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the heat exchange tubes 101, fins 102, and collector tubes 103 in a microchannel heat exchanger are all made of a material comprising aluminum/aluminum alloy.
In order to achieve the connection between the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the manifold 103, solder may be provided on the outer surfaces of the fins 102 and the manifold 103. After the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collector tube 103 are arranged, the whole assembly is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the solder, the solder is melted, and then cooled and solidified, so that the fixed connection among the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collector tube 103 is realized by the solder. Because the surfaces of the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collecting pipe 103 are smooth, only a small amount of solder 4 can be reserved between the heat exchange tube 101 and the fins 102 and between the heat exchange tube 101 and the collecting pipe 103 for welding, for example, as shown in fig. 4, so that the connection reliability between the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collecting pipe 103 is poor.
Furthermore, during use of the heat exchanger, it may be necessary to distinguish between different heat exchangers, for example when more than two heat exchangers are provided in the same module of the thermal management system, different heat exchangers being used to perform different functions. Most of the existing heat exchangers show the color of the base material, at most, the size or the shape of the base material is slightly different, and the base material is difficult to distinguish from the base material in terms of appearance, so that the base material is inconvenient to install, check or maintain. For this purpose, the heat exchanger can be colored on the surface, which makes the heat exchanger easy to distinguish. In the related art, since the surfaces of the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collector tube 103 are smooth, it is difficult to firmly bond with the coating.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the heat exchanger 100 includes a substrate and a coating 2, the coating 2 covering at least a portion of the surface of the substrate. The matrix comprises a first matrix 11, a second matrix 12 and a third matrix 13, wherein the first matrix 11 is a heat exchange tube 101, the second matrix 12 is a fin 102, and the third matrix 13 is a collecting pipe 103. At least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 has a groove 3. That is, the grooves 3 may be provided only on one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, may be provided on any two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, and may be provided on each of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13. The groove 3 includes a first groove 31 and a second groove 32. The groove 3 is formed recessed from the outer surface inward from at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13. For example, the groove 3 provided in the first base 11 is formed to be recessed inward from the outer surface of the first base 11, as shown in fig. 5 and 6.
The first groove 31 is filled with an adhesive or solder 4, and the adhesive or solder 4 filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with at least two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13. That is, the adhesive or solder 4 filled in the first groove 31 may be used to connect any two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, or may be used to connect the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13. For example, if the adhesive or solder 4 filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the adhesive or solder 4 filled in the first groove 31 can achieve the connection of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. If the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with all of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 can achieve the connection of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13. The adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 may be entirely located in the first groove 31, as shown in fig. 5, or the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 may be partially located in the first groove 31 and partially overflowed outside the first groove 31, as shown in fig. 6.
In this way, the first grooves 31 can accommodate more adhesive or solder for connecting at least two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, so that the connection between at least two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 is more reliable, that is, the connection between at least two of the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102, and the manifold 103 is more reliable.
The coating 2 is provided on the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, and at least part of the coating 2 is located within said second recess 32, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. The roughness of the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13 is increased through the second grooves 32, so that the bonding force between the coating 2 and the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13 can be improved, and the coating 2 and the heat exchanger substrate can be firmly bonded.
In some embodiments, the first substrate 11 has a first groove 31 and a second groove 32. The adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the first substrate 11, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with at least one of the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. In this way, the first recess 31 is able to accommodate more adhesive or solder for connecting the first substrate 11 with the second substrate 12, or for connecting the first substrate 11 with the third substrate 13, or for connecting the first substrate 11 with the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13. The second grooves 32 provided on the first substrate 12 can enhance the roughness of the outer surface of the first substrate 11, so that the coating 2 can be firmly combined with the outer surface of the first substrate 11, that is, the coating 2 and the heat exchange tube 101 are firmly combined.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, 5, and 6, for example, the outer surface of the first substrate 11 includes a first face 111 and a second face 112. The first surface 111 meets the second surface 112, and the contour line of the first surface 111 is at least partially the intersection line of the first surface 111 and the second surface 112. The first substrate 11 is connected to at least one of the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13 via a first surface 111, at least part of the second surface 112 is covered with the coating 2, the first substrate 11 is recessed inwardly from the first surface 111 to form a first recess 31, and the first substrate 11 is recessed inwardly from the second surface 112 to form a second recess 32.
When the first substrate 11 is connected to the second substrate 12 through the first face 111, the adhesive or solder 4 filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the first face 111, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the second substrate 12, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. In this way, the first recess 111 is able to accommodate more adhesive or solder 4 for achieving a reliable connection of the first face 111 with the second substrate 12, i.e. for achieving a reliable connection of the first substrate 11 with the second substrate 12.
When the first substrate 11 is connected to the third substrate 13 through the first face 111, the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the first face 111, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the third substrate 13. In this way, the first recess 111 is able to accommodate more adhesive or solder for achieving a reliable connection of the first face 111 with the third substrate 13, i.e. for achieving a reliable connection of the first substrate 11 with the third substrate 13.
At least part of the second surface 112 is covered with the coating 2, and as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the second grooves 32 provided in the first substrate 11 can increase the roughness of the second surface 112, so that the coating 2 can be firmly bonded to the second surface 112, that is, the coating 2 is firmly bonded to the first substrate 11 or the heat exchange tube 101.
In some embodiments, one first substrate 11 has at least two first faces 111, at least a portion of the second face 112 being located between two adjacent first faces 111 of the same first substrate 11, as shown in fig. 7. In some embodiments, the first substrate 11 is connected to the second substrate 12 by at least one of the first faces 111, and the first substrate 11 is connected to the third substrate by at least one of the first faces 111. Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the first face 111 includes a first sub-face 1111 and a second sub-face 1112, the first substrate 11 is connected to the second substrate 12 through the first sub-face 1111, and the first substrate 11 is connected to the third substrate 13 through the second sub-face 1112. The first groove 31 includes a first sub groove (not shown) and a second sub groove (not shown). The first sub-groove is formed to be recessed from the first sub-surface 1111 toward the inside of the first base 11, and the second sub-groove is formed to be recessed from the first sub-surface 1112 toward the inside of the first base 11. The first sub-groove is filled with an adhesive or solder, the adhesive or solder filled in the first sub-groove is in contact with the first sub-face 1111, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first sub-groove is in contact with the second substrate 12. In this way, a reliable connection of the first base body 11 and the second base body 12 can be achieved.

The adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with the second substrate 12, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with at least one of the first substrate 11 and the third substrate 13. In this way, the first recess 31 is able to accommodate more adhesive or solder for connecting the second substrate 12 with the first substrate 11 and/or the second substrate 12 with the third substrate 13. The second grooves 32 provided in the second substrate 12 can enhance the roughness of the outer surface of the second substrate 12, so that the coating 2 can be firmly bonded with the outer surface of the second substrate 12, that is, the coating 2 and the fins 102 can be firmly bonded.
In some embodiments, the outer surface of the second substrate 12 includes a third surface 121 and a fourth surface 122, the third surface 121 and the fourth surface 122 meet, and the contour line of the third surface 121 is at least partially the intersection line of the third surface 121 and the fourth surface 122, as shown in fig. 8.

Because the application environment and the application condition of the heat exchanger have specificity, for example, the temperature change amplitude of the surface of the heat exchanger is large in the heat exchange process, and the like, the composite material provided by the related art is difficult to form a proper colored coating on the surface of the heat exchanger. The colored coating formed by coating the composite material in the related art on the surface of the heat exchanger may be easily peeled off from the surface of the heat exchanger, or the coating may cause a decrease in heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. Still other coatings do not meet green environmental requirements due to the irritating odor generated during the preparation process. Accordingly, the present application also provides colored coatings suitable for use in heat exchangers.
In some embodiments, the coating 2 includes a color additive selected from at least one of an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment, and a dye. The colored coating may impart a color to the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13, thereby having an effect of facilitating the differentiation of the heat exchanger.
In practical application, the surfaces of different heat exchangers or different areas of the heat exchangers can be coated with coatings with different colors according to the use requirements, so that the heat exchangers are convenient to distinguish from the appearance. The color of the colored coating is achieved by formulating the type and amount of pigment therein. In addition, the coating isolates the heat exchanger substrate from the external environment, so that the corrosion of the external environment to the heat exchanger is reduced, and the durability of the heat exchanger is improved to a certain extent.
In some embodiments, the color additive is selected from C 18 H 10 Cl 2 N 2 O 2 ,C 32 Cl 16 CuN 8 ,C 32 H 16 CuN 8 ,C 35 H 23 Cl 2 N 3 O 2 ,C 12 H 10 N 6 O 4 ,C 17 H 13 CaClN 4 O 7 S 2 At least one of mica, titanium dioxide, tin dioxide and a mixture of ferric oxide. That is, the color additive may be selected from C 18 H 10 C l2 N 2 O 2 (pigment Red), C 32 Cl 16 CuN 8 (Green), C 32 H 16 CuN 8 (blue), C 35 H 23 Cl 2 N 3 O 2 (purple), C 12 H 10 N 6 O 4 (orange), C 17 H 13 CaClN 4 O 7 S 2 (yellow), a mixture of any one or two or more of mica, titanium dioxide, tin dioxide and ferric oxide (gold color). In actual tinting, the color of the colored coating may be varied, some of the colors may be formulated with only one organic pigment, inorganic pigment or dye, while others may be formulated with more than two organic pigments, more than two inorganic pigments, more than two dyes, or with a combination of organic pigments, inorganic pigments and dyes. 1l
In some embodiments, the particle size of the color additive is from 1 to 5 μm. The smaller the granularity of the color additive is, the more uniform and fine the color coating is, and the color coating formed on the surface of the heat exchanger is beautiful. The small granularity of the color additive is also beneficial to the stable adhesion of the color additive on the surface of the heat exchanger.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the coating 2 is 8-16 μm. Further, the average thickness of the coating is 10-11 mu m, and the thickness of the coating is thinner, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is not greatly influenced.
In some embodiments, the thickness standard deviation of the coating 2 is less than 0.8 μm. The film thickness of the colored coating is uniform, so that the adhesion of the colored coating to the surface of the heat exchanger is good in consistency, and the color additive and the partial peeling of the colored coating are reduced.
In some embodiments, the coating 2 comprises silica, at least a portion of the silica surface having functional groups- (CH) bound thereto 2 ) 3 -O-CH 2 -CH-OCH 2 And hydroxy-OH. The addition of the silicon dioxide can increase the adhesive force and the compactness of the coating, and the silicon dioxide has wide sources and low cost. Surface functional group- (CH) 2 ) 3 -O-CH 2 -CH-OCH 2 The silica nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the sol, so that the silica nanoparticles in the formed coating are also uniformly dispersed, and the uniformity and consistency of the coating are improved. The hydroxyl-OH makes the silica nano particles hydrophilic, so that the colored coating has hydrophilic, water on the surface of the coating is easy to discharge, a large amount of water is reduced to gather on the surface of the coating, the erosion of impurities in the water to the coating can be reduced, and the coating can keep strong adhesion to a substrate permanently. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the silica has a particle size of 55 to 65nm.
In some embodiments, the coating 2 further comprises titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide has hydrophilicity and photocatalytic activity, and the titanium dioxide is matched with silicon dioxide to form a binary oxide system, so that the hydrophilicity and self-cleaning property of the coating are enhanced. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the titanium dioxide has a particle size of 5 to 10nm.
In some embodiments, the coating 2 has an average thickness, and the thickness of at least a portion of the coating 2 disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the first substrate 11 is less than the average thickness; and/or the thickness of at least part of the coating 2 covering at least part of the surface of said second substrate 12 is smaller than the average thickness.
The coating 2 of the present application is different from hydrophilic, hydrophobic, antimicrobial, etc. coatings that require improved performance over the entire exterior surface of the heat exchanger. The coating 2 of the present application is applied to the surface of the heat exchanger in order to facilitate the differentiation of the heat exchanger from the appearance. Thus, at some surfaces of the heat exchanger, such as those shown in fig. 9 and 10, the first substrate 11 is used to form the inner side 1121 of the outer channel of the heat exchanger 100, the second substrate 12 is used to form the inner side 12-1 of the outer channel in cooperation with the inner side 1121 of the first substrate 11, etc., the coating 2 need not be entirely covered thereon, and the thickness of the coating thereon may not be limited. The coating 2 is coated on the surface of the heat exchanger, so that the color change is not large for the appearance of the heat exchanger, because the space formed between the two heat exchange pipes and between the heat exchange pipes and the fins is small, light is difficult to reach into the space, and a certain visual blind area is caused. In the visual blind area, the color of the surface of the heat exchanger is difficult to distinguish from the appearance of the heat exchanger.
In some embodiments, the channels of the heat exchanger 100 comprise external channels for external fluid communication, the second face 112 of the first substrate 11 comprises an inner face 1121, the inner face 1121 being for forming the external channels, the inner face 1121 having a first edge region 1113, a second edge region 1114, and an intermediate region 1115, as shown in fig. 2 and 9. Along the direction of fluid flow F, the first edge region 1113 is proximate to the fluid inlet e1 relative to the intermediate region 1115, the second edge region 1114 is proximate to the fluid outlet e2 relative to the intermediate region 1115, and the intermediate region 1115 is located between the first edge region 1113 and the second edge region 1114. The first edge region 1113 and the second edge region 1114 each have a coating thickness that is greater than the coating thickness of the intermediate region 1115.
In some embodiments, the first edge region 1113, the second edge region 1114, and the intermediate region 1115 may have a regular shape, such as a rectangle, square, etc., or the first edge region 1113, the second edge region 1114, and the intermediate region 1115 may have an irregular shape, such as shown in fig. 9.
In some embodiments, none of the first edge region 1113, the second edge region 1114, and the intermediate region 1115 are coated. In some embodiments, the coating thickness of the inner side 1121 of the first substrate 11 is less than 8 μm. In some embodiments, the inner side 1121 of the first base 11 is a sidewall 110 of the first base 11 perpendicular to the thickness direction (X direction).
In some embodiments, the heat exchanger has internal channels for the passage of an internal fluid, such as a refrigerant, coolant, etc., and external channels for the passage of an external fluid, such as air, etc. The external fluid is a refrigerant, a coolant, or the like flowing through the internal passage. In practice, it is preferable that the inner side surface of the first substrate is not coated with a colored coating, and in this case, it is necessary to shield the surface of the heat exchange tube during spraying. However, in the process of spraying the heat exchanger, in order to simplify the process and reduce the processing cost, the inner side surface of the heat exchange tube may not be shielded, but directly sprayed, so that the composite material is inevitably sprayed to some areas of the inner side surface of the heat exchange tube. When in spraying, the spraying direction and the inner side surface of the heat exchange tube can form a certain angle so as to reduce the area or thickness of the colored coating covered on the inner side surface of the heat exchange tube, thereby reducing the reduction of the heat exchange efficiency of the colored coating to the heat exchanger to a greater extent under the condition that the appearance color of the heat exchanger is not influenced.
In some embodiments, the channels of the heat exchanger comprise external channels for external fluid communication, as shown in fig. 2 and 10, the fourth face 122 of the second matrix 12 has a first outer edge region 1221, a second outer edge region 1222, and a central region 1223, the first outer edge region 1221 being adjacent to the fluid inlet e1 relative to the central region 1223, the second outer edge region 1222 being adjacent to the fluid outlet e2 relative to the central region 1223, the central region 1223 being located between the first outer edge region 1221 and the second outer edge region 1222, the first outer edge region 1221 and the second outer edge region 1212 each having a coating thickness greater than the colored coating thickness overlying the central region 1223 along the fluid flow direction F. In some embodiments, the first outer edge region 1221, the second outer edge region 1222, and the central region 1223 may have a regular shape, such as a rectangle, square, etc., or the first outer edge region 1221, the second outer edge region 1222, and the central region 1223 may have an irregular shape, such as shown in fig. 10. In some embodiments, none of the first outer edge region 1221, the second outer edge region 1222, and the central region 1223 is covered with a color coating.
In practice, it is optimal that the inner surface 12-1 of the second substrate 12 is not coated with a colored coating, in which case shielding of the surface of the second substrate 12 is required during spraying. However, in the process of spraying the heat exchanger 100, the inner surface 12-1 of the second substrate 12 may not be shielded, but may be directly sprayed, so that the composite material is inevitably sprayed to some surfaces of the second substrate 12, for the sake of simplifying the process and reducing the cost. During spraying, the spraying direction can form a certain angle with the inner surface 12-1 of the second substrate 12, so as to reduce the area or thickness of the coating layer covered on the second substrate 12, thereby reducing the reduction of the heat exchange efficiency of the coating layer 2 on the heat exchanger 100 to a greater extent under the condition that the appearance color of the heat exchanger 100 is not affected. In some embodiments, the coating thickness of the inner surface 12-1 of the second substrate 12 is less than 8 μm.
The present application also provides a thermal management system, as shown in fig. 17, the thermal management system includes a compressor 2, a first heat exchanger 1001, a throttling device 3, and a second heat exchanger 1002, wherein a color of a surface of the first heat exchanger 1001 is different from a color of a surface of the second heat exchanger 1002; when the heat management system has a refrigerant flowing, the refrigerant flows into the first heat exchanger 1001 through the compressor 2, flows into the throttle device 3 after heat exchange occurs in the first heat exchanger 1001, and then flows into the second heat exchanger 1002 and flows into the compressor 2 again after heat exchange occurs in the second heat exchanger 1002. Since the first heat exchanger 1001 and the second heat exchanger 1002 have different colors, for example, the first heat exchanger surface is red and the second heat exchanger surface is green, it is possible to distinguish the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger from each other in appearance. In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 1001 is a condenser and the second heat exchanger 1002 is an evaporator. In some embodiments, a reversing device 4 is also provided in the thermal management system.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the surface of one of the first heat exchanger 1001 and the second heat exchanger 1002 is coated with a colored coating, the color of the colored coating being different from the color of the substrate of both the first heat exchanger 1001 and the second heat exchanger 1002; alternatively, at least part of the surface of the first heat exchanger 1001 is covered with a first colored coating, and at least part of the surface of the second heat exchanger 1002 is covered with a second colored coating, the color of the first colored coating being different from the color of the second colored coating. In this way, one of the two heat exchangers is covered with a colored coating, and the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are distinguished by the color difference between the colored coating and the heat exchanger base material; alternatively, the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are distinguished by different colored coatings on the surfaces of the two heat exchangers.
In this application, the colors may be completely different or partially different. The difference in color may be a difference in chromaticity of the color, such as red, green, blue; alternatively, the colors may be different in shade, such as dark red, light red; alternatively, the color may be gradually changed, for example, gradually changed from the outer periphery to the inner periphery, gradually changed from the inner periphery to the outer periphery; or otherwise present a difference in color.
In order to form the coating layer on the surface of the substrate of the heat exchanger, corresponding coating materials can be prepared, and the coating materials are coated on the surface of the heat exchanger in a dip coating, spray coating, brush coating, curtain coating or roller coating mode and are solidified. As described above, since the surfaces of the heat exchange tube, the header and the fins are smooth, it is difficult for the coating layer to be firmly adhered to the surfaces of the heat exchange tube, the header and the fin base. In order to enable a firm adhesion of the coating to the surface of the heat exchanger matrix, the surface to be coated may be sandblasted before the corresponding coating. The sand blasting treatment can increase the surface roughness, so that the binding force between the coating and the surface is increased.
Specifically, after the heat exchanger is assembled, the whole heat exchanger is subjected to sand blasting treatment, and then the composite material is sprayed on the surface of the heat exchanger and cured to form the colored coating 2. However, since the assembled heat exchanger components are shielded from each other during the blasting process, a portion of the outer surface of the heat exchanger cannot be in contact with the blasting. Such as the microchannel heat exchanger 100 shown in fig. 1, the fins 102 are located between two adjacent heat exchange tubes 101, and the gaps between the fins 102 and the adjacent heat exchange tubes 101 are small. During the blasting, it is difficult for the abrasive to reach a part of the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 101, resulting in difficulty in achieving a desired roughness of a part of the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 101 by the blasting. Moreover, during the blasting process, the abrasive is easily stuck between the fins 102 or between the fins 102 and the heat exchange tube 101 due to the large stacking density of the fins 102, which is difficult to clean. Furthermore, the assembled heat exchanger may be damaged by sand blasting, for example, in the sand blasting process, the abrasive ejected at high speed generates impact force on the junction between the heat exchange tube and the collecting pipe and the junction between the heat exchange tube and the fins, resulting in failure of the connection and even leakage of the heat exchange tube.
To this end, the present application provides a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger, as shown in fig. 11, including the steps of:
s1, providing a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12, at least one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 having a groove 3, the groove 3 being recessed inwardly from an outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the groove 3 comprising a first groove 31 and a second groove 32.
S2, connecting the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, so that the first groove 31 is filled with adhesive or solder, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with both the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12.
S3, coating the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 with the coating 2 such that at least part of the coating 2 is located within the second recess 32, the coating 2 comprising a color additive selected from at least one of an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment and a dye.
It will be appreciated that in the present application, the step of providing the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 is performed before the step S2 of joining the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, and also before the step S3 of coating. That is, the steps of joining and coating are performed only after the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 are provided. Therefore, in the present application, step S1 precedes step S2 and step S3. However, the order of step S2 and step S3 is not limited in this application, and step S2 may precede step S3 or follow step S3.
In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 100 further comprises a third substrate 13, in particular the method of manufacturing a heat exchanger further comprises the steps of:
s1', providing a third substrate 13;
s2', connects the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 such that the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with each of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13.
Illustratively, in some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger includes the steps of:
s1, providing a first substrate 11, a second substrate 12 and a third substrate 13, wherein the first substrate 11 is used for forming the heat exchange tube 101, the second substrate 12 is used for forming the fin 102, the third substrate 13 is used for forming the collecting pipe 103, at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13 is provided with a groove 3, the groove 3 is formed by recessing inwards from the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, and the groove 3 comprises a first groove 31 and a second groove 32.
S2, connecting the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, so that the first groove 31 is filled with an adhesive or solder, and the adhesive or solder filled in the first groove 31 is in contact with at least two of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13.
S3, coating the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13 with the coating 2 such that at least part of the coating 2 is located within the second recess 32, the coating 2 comprising a color additive selected from at least one of an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment and a dye.
In the manufacturing method provided by the application, since the groove 3 is provided on at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13, the groove 3 includes the first groove 31 and the second groove 32. When the first, second and third substrates 11, 12 and 13 are connected, the first groove 31 can accommodate more adhesive or solder for connecting at least two of the first, second and third substrates 11, 12 and 13, so that the connection between at least two of the first, second and third substrates 11, 12 and 13 is more reliable, that is, the connection between at least two of the header 103, the heat exchange tube 101 and the fin 102 is more reliable. When the coating is applied, the coating 2 is at least partially located within the second recess 32, the second recess 32 being capable of increasing the bonding force of the coating 2 to at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12 and the third substrate 13. Therefore, according to the manufacturing method provided by the application, the heat exchanger with reliable connection among the heat exchange tube 101, the fins 102 and the collector tube 103 and firm combination of the coating 2 and the heat exchanger matrix can be manufactured.
In some embodiments, the grooves 3 are formed by sand blasting. That is, the present application prepares the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 having grooves on the surfaces thereof by a sand blasting process, and then performs a step of joining the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, and a step of coating at least one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 with a coating.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 12, step S1, i.e., providing the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, includes the steps of:
s11, providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first substrate for forming a first matrix 11 and a second substrate for forming a second matrix 12;
and S12, carrying out sand blasting on the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate.
In some embodiments, at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate has a size larger than its corresponding matrix, and thus, step S1, i.e., providing the first matrix 11 and the second matrix 12, further includes the steps of:
s13, cutting at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, as shown in FIG. 12.
The benefits of grit blasting include, in a first aspect, the removal of residual oxide layers, oil stains, etc. from the substrate surface, resulting in a cleaner metal substrate surface. In the second aspect, the abrasive blasting and polishing effects are beneficial to forming a better micro rough surface structure on the surface of the substrate, so that the binding force of the subsequent coating materials and other coating materials is increased, and the leveling and decoration of the coating are facilitated. In the third aspect, the cutting and impact of the sand blasting strengthens the mechanical properties of the surface of the metal substrate, and improves the fatigue resistance of the metal substrate. In the fourth aspect, irregular structures such as burrs on the surface of the metal substrate can be removed by sand blasting, and small fillets are manufactured on the surface of the metal substrate, so that the surface of the metal substrate is smoother and more attractive, and the subsequent treatment is facilitated. After sand blasting treatment, the surface structure morphology of the metal substrate is changed, and the metal grains are finer and denser. After sand blasting treatment, more hydroxyl groups are formed on the surface of the metal substrate, and in the subsequent process of connecting the functional film layers, the hydroxyl groups of the functional film layers are dehydrated and condensed with the hydroxyl groups of the metal substrate, so that the functional film layers and the metal substrate can be connected through covalent bonds, the covalent bond connection mode is relatively stable, and the durability of connection with the functional film layers is improved.
In addition, the processing mode of the sand blasting process has the characteristics of high efficiency, low cost and suitability for cleaning the large surface area of the metal substrate, and furthermore, the abrasive materials adopted in the sand blasting process can be recycled, so that the cost can be further reduced.

To obtain the first, second, and third substrates, the first, second, and third substrates need to be cut.

In some embodiments, the openings of the first substrate are plugged prior to grit blasting the outer surface of the first substrate. In this way, the passage of abrasive for blasting through the opening into the interior cavity of the first substrate can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the second substrate has the same thickness and width as the second matrix 12, and all structural parameters of the second substrate are the same as the second matrix 12 (as shown in fig. 8) except that the second substrate has a length greater than the second matrix 12, and providing the second matrix 12 further comprises: the second substrate 12 is cut so that the length of the second substrate is the same as the length of the second base 12.

In some embodiments, step S12, i.e., blasting the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate, comprises: the abrasive is mixed in the compressed air and sprayed through the spray gun toward the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate. Further, the abrasive may be sand of corundum material, such as brown corundum, white corundum, black corundum, garnet, etc. The abrasive may also be a grit of the silicon carbide class, such as black silicon carbide, green silicon carbide, and the like. Of course, when selecting the abrasive, other kinds of grits may be selected, such as glass beads, steel shot, steel grit, ceramic grit, resin grit, walnut grit, etc.
In some embodiments, the abrasive has a particle size between 30 mesh and 280 mesh. Specifically, the abrasive may have a particle size of 30 mesh, 50 mesh, 80 mesh, 120 mesh, 150 mesh, 180 mesh, 200 mesh, 220 mesh, 250 mesh, 280 mesh, or the like. The grain size selection of the abrasive can affect the construction of the rough surface of the metal substrate, when the grain size of the abrasive is relatively large, the rough surface of the metal substrate can be finer, and when the grain size is too large, the roughness of the rough surface can be difficult to ensure. When the particle size is too small, the rough surface with a certain roughness is constructed relatively slowly, and the rough effect is poor. In some embodiments, the abrasive may have a particle size ranging between 100 mesh and 200 mesh. Thus, the grain size of the abrasive is not too large or too small, and accordingly, a more ideal rough surface structure is easier to obtain.
In some embodiments, the distance between the spray gun and the spray location corresponding to the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate is between 20mm and 100 mm. Specifically, the distance between the spray nozzle of the spray gun and the corresponding spray position on the outer surface of the heat exchanger is simply recorded as the sand blasting distance, the sand blasting distance is too short, pits are easy to appear on the surface of the metal substrate, the overall rough surface appearance is poor, the sand blasting distance is too long, the impact force of the abrasive is poor, and the surface morphology degree of the metal substrate is poor. The blasting distance may be selected from 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, etc. in the present application.

The injection angle of the spray gun refers to an included angle between the incident direction of the abrasive and a plane of the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate and the third substrate, and specifically, the injection angle α of the spray gun is 15 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 75 °, 90 ° and so on. The spray angle alpha of the spray gun is too small, the interference angle between the metal base material and the abrasive is small, a rough surface is difficult to form, and the spray angle alpha of the spray gun can be an acute angle smaller than or equal to 90 degrees. In some embodiments of the present application, the spray angle α of the spray gun is 45 °.

Because the collecting pipe, the fins and the heat exchange pipe of each part of the heat exchanger are made of aluminum materials, and correspondingly, the aluminum materials are relatively soft, the pressure of compressed air cannot be excessive, otherwise, the parts are easy to damage. Of course, the pressure of the compressed air cannot be too low, otherwise it is difficult to form a rough surface. In some embodiments of the present application, the pressure of the compressed air is 0.45MPa.
In some embodiments, the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate may be sandblasted using a sandblasting machine.

Step S2 will be described below by taking the microchannel heat exchanger described above as an example. In some embodiments, in step S2, the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 are connected by an adhesive or solder. For the connection of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the first substrate 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by solder or adhesive. For example, all of the first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by solder, or all of the first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate by an adhesive, or a part of the first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by solder, another part of the first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by an adhesive, or some of the plurality of first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by solder, and some other of the plurality of first substrates 11 may be connected to the second substrate 12 by an adhesive.

For example, the area of the outer surface of the side wall 110 of the first base 11 for connection with the second base 12 is defined as a first sub-face 1111, and the area of the outer surface of the side wall 110 of the first base 11 for connection with the third base 13 is defined as a second sub-face 1112.
The solder may be melted by heating the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 in a heating furnace after the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate are integrally assembled. In the present application, the grooves provided on the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 are not affected by the blast treatment at a high temperature in a temperature range where the solder melts, or in a temperature range where the solder passes through the furnace, that is, the roughness of the outer surfaces of the first substrate 11, the second substrate 12, and the third substrate 13 on which the grooves are formed is kept substantially unchanged before and after the passage through the furnace.

In order to simulate the actual production process of the heat exchanger to examine whether the process of heating by the furnace would affect the roughness of the blasting surface, samples were prepared in the method of this comparative example.
This comparative example differs from example 1 in that the first substrate was subjected to furnace heating after step 1 and before step 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the following steps are further included after step 1 and before step 2: heating the first matrix at 580-620 deg.c for 40-60 min.
Comparative example 2
In order to examine whether the order of the blasting and the furnace-passing heating steps would affect the roughness of the blasted surface, the present comparative example put the heating step in comparative example 1 before step 1 (i.e., blasting).
The present comparative example is different from comparative example 1 in that the first substrate was heated first, and then the first substrate subjected to the heat treatment was subjected to the blast treatment, and the rest of the present comparative example was the same as comparative example 1.
Performance testing
1. Roughness test
FIG. 16 is a scanning electron microscope image of the surface of the first substrate subjected to the sand blasting treatment in example 1. As can be seen from fig. 16, the sand blasting treatment roughens the outer surface of the first substrate.
The surface roughness of the first substrate which was not subjected to the blast treatment, the first substrate which was subjected to the blast treatment only in example 1, the first substrate which was subjected to the blast treatment and the blast treatment in comparative example 1, and the first substrate which was subjected to the blast treatment and the blast treatment in comparative example 2 were each examined.
The surface roughness of the first substrate without sandblasting was 0.2047. The surface roughness of the first substrate subjected to only the blast treatment in example 1 was 2.7600. The surface roughness of the first substrate after the blast treatment and the furnace heating in this order in comparative example 1 was 2.8368. The surface roughness of the first substrate after the furnace heating and the blast treatment in this order in comparative example 2 was 2.8369.
It follows that the furnace-passing heating, whether performed before or after the blasting, does not have a great influence on the surface roughness of the blasted first substrate.
2. Adhesion test
The test samples of examples 1 to 7 were subjected to the grippy test. The griffe test is to cut and penetrate the coating on the substrate in a lattice pattern, and the patterns after the cutting are classified according to six grades, so as to evaluate the separation resistance of the coating from the substrate.
Gritty test ISO grade:
level 0: the edges of the cuts were perfectly smooth and the edges of the grids did not peel off any;
stage 1: the small piece is peeled off at the intersection of the cuts, and the actual breakage in the scribing area is not more than 5%;
2 stages: the edges and/or the intersections of the cuts are peeled off, and the peeled off area is 5% -15% of the cross-cut area;
3 stages: part of the grids are peeled off or peeled off in whole along the edges of the notch, and/or part of the grids are peeled off in whole, and the peeled area is 15% -35% of the cross-cut area;
4 stages: the edges of the notch are peeled off in large pieces and/or some square lattices are peeled off partially or completely, and the peeled area is 35% -65% of the cross-cut area;
5 stages: exceeding the previous level.
The test samples of examples 1-7 all have a grippy test ISO rating of 0. It can be seen that the colored coating of the present application has a strong adhesion to the substrate.
3. Coating thickness test
The coating thicknesses of examples 1 to 7 were measured by a high-precision chart plating thickness gauge, and the results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 coating thicknesses for examples 1-7
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6 Example 7
Thickness (μm) 11.9 14.0 15.7 14.3 15.0 8.1 10.1
From the results in Table 1, it is clear that the thickness of the colored coating formed by curing on the surface of the heat exchanger is in the range of 8 to 16. Mu.m, and the effect of the thinner colored coating on the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is small.
The application also carries out film thickness uniformity test on the colored coating on the surface of the sample prepared in the example 1 and the example 5, and the specific test method is as follows: 10 test points are randomly selected on the surface of the sample with the colored coating, and film thickness tests are respectively carried out.
The thickness of the red coating measured at the test point on the sample surface of example 1 was: 11.2 μm, 10.2 μm, 10.1 μm, 11.8 μm, 10.4 μm, 9.6 μm, 10.5 μm, 9.4 μm, 9.7 μm, 9.5 μm, 10.2 μm. The average film thickness was 10.2. Mu.m, and the standard deviation was 0.736. Mu.m.
The gold color coating thickness measured by the test points on the surface of the sample of example 5 was: 11.8 μm, 12.0 μm, 11.3 μm, 11.1 μm, 12.8 μm, 12.1 μm, 12.8 μm, 11.2 μm, 10.3 μm, 12.6 μm, 11.8 μm. The average film thickness was 11.8. Mu.m, and the standard deviation was 0.782. Mu.m.
From the test results, the color additives and the fillers in the composite material are uniformly distributed in the coating, so that the thickness of the colored coating on the surface of the sample has good consistency, and the adhesive force is strong and the consistency is good.
While embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
