WO-A-8 809 473.The invention relates to a heat exchanger, especially an oil cooler for internal combustion engines, consisting of several in parallel pipes arranged to each other for guiding the Heat exchange medium, as well as from lamellar and perpendicular to the Pipes arranged plate-shaped heat exchange elements with the pipes are firmly connected, the plate-shaped Heat exchange elements are bent at the outer edges and lie on top of one another in a scale, cf. e.g. WO-A-8 809 473.

Aus der DE-OS 32 10 114 ist ein Wärmetauscher, insbesondere ein Kühler für Kraftfahrzeuge bekannt. Dieser Wärmetauscher besteht aus mehreren parallel zueinander angeordneten Rohren zur Führung des Wärmetauschmittels. Diese Rohre münden in einen oberen und einen unteren Wasserkasten. Der Wärmetauscher besteht ferner aus lamellenartig und senkrecht zu den Rohren angeordneten plattenförmigen Wärmetauschrippen, die mit den Rohren fest verbunden sind. Diese Wäremtauschrippen sind an ihren Stirnkanten mit umgebogenen Endteilen versehen, die schuppenartig übereinander gelegt sind und somit Seitenteile bilden, an denen Befestigungseinrichtungen für Winkel angeordnet werden können.DE-OS 32 10 114 is a heat exchanger, in particular a Radiator known for motor vehicles. This heat exchanger is there of several tubes arranged in parallel to each other for guidance of the heat exchange medium. These pipes open into an upper and a lower water tank. The heat exchanger also consists of arranged lamellar and perpendicular to the pipes plate-shaped heat exchange fins fixed to the pipes are connected. These heat exchange fins are on their front edges provided with bent end parts that are scale-like are placed one above the other and thus form side parts on which Fastening devices for angles can be arranged.

Der bekannte Wärmetauscher, der mit relativ einfachen Elementen aufgebaut ist und eine gute Wärmeübertragung aufweist, hat den Nachteil, daß zum Befestigen des Wärmetauschers an einem Träger zusätzlich Winkel erforderlich sind. Außerdem sind die Anschlüsse für das Wärmetauschmittel in den oberen und unteren Wasserkasten definiert. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wärmetauscher zu schaffen, der universell einsetzbar ist und ohne Vergrößerung des Bauvolumens an beliebige Anschluß-Strukturen befestigt werden kann.The well-known heat exchanger with relatively simple elements is built up and has good heat transfer, has the Disadvantage that to attach the heat exchanger to a carrier additional angles are required. In addition, the connections for the heat exchange medium in the upper and lower water tank Are defined. The invention is therefore based on the object To create heat exchangers that can be used universally and without Enlargement of the construction volume to any connection structures can be attached.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst.This task is based on the generic term of Main claim solved by its characteristic features.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann in dem Adapterelement gleichzeitig ein Überdruckventil angeordnet werden, das in der Kaltlaufphase einen Bypass für das zu kühlende Medium bildet.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the Adapter element simultaneously arranged a pressure relief valve be in the cold running phase a bypass for the to be cooled Medium forms.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Adapterelements besteht in einer Platte, welche im letzten Wärmetauscherelement integriert ist. Durch die Integration dieser Platte wird die Bauhöhe des gesamten Wärmetauscherelements nur unwesentlich vergrößert. Gleichzeitig sind aber sämtliche Anschlüsse in dieser Adapterplatte enthalten. Die Anschlußrohre für das Wärmetauschmittel können in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Neuerung dem Adapterelement gegenüberliegend angeordnet sein. Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Anschlußrohre in das Adapterelement zu integrieren und damit die Funktionen dieses Elements noch weiter zu erhöhen.One configuration of the adapter element consists of a plate, which is integrated in the last heat exchanger element. Through the Integration of this panel will increase the overall height Heat exchanger element only slightly enlarged. simultaneously but all connections are included in this adapter plate. The connecting pipes for the heat exchange medium can in one advantageous embodiment of the innovation of the adapter element be arranged opposite one another. Of course there is also the possibility of connecting pipes in the adapter element integrate and thus the functions of this element even further to increase.

Eine vorteilhafte Werkstoffkombination für den Wärmetauscher besteht in der Anwendung von lotplattiertem Aluminiumblech. Dieses läßt sich löten, so daß der Zusammenbau des Wärmetauschers durch Erwärmen desselben, beispielsweise in Durchlauföfen, möglich ist. An advantageous combination of materials for the heat exchanger consists in the use of solder-clad aluminum sheet. This can be soldered so that the assembly of the heat exchanger by heating it, for example in continuous furnaces, is possible.

Diese und weitere Merkmale von bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der Neuerung gehen außer aus den Ansprüchen auch aus der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen hervor, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale jeweils für sich allein oder zu mehreren in Form von Unterkombinationen bei der Ausführungsform der Neuerung und auf anderen Gebieten verwirklicht sein und vorteilhafte sowie für sich schutzfähige Ausführungen darstellen können, für die hier Schutz beansprucht wird.These and other features of preferred developments of the Innovations go not only from the claims but also from the description and the drawings, the individual features alone or in pairs in the form of sub-combinations in the embodiment of the innovation and in other areas be realized and advantageous as well as protectable Can represent designs for which protection is claimed here becomes.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch ein Wärmetauscher gezeigt, der aus mehreren parallel zueinander angeordneten und von einem Wärmetauschmittel durchflossenen plattenförmigen Wärmetauschelementen 10 besteht. Die Wärmetauschelemente 10 sind an den umlaufenden Außenkanten 11 abgebogen und lamellenartig zu einem Wärmetauscherpaket aufeinandergestapelt. Den oberen Abschluß des Wärmetauscherpakets bildet eine Abdeckplatte 12. Den unteren Abschluß bildet ein Adapterelement 13 in Kombination mit einer Befestigungsplatte 14. Adapterelement 13 und Befestigungsplatte 14 können aus einem Stück hergestellt sein. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dieses zweistückig aus zwei Stanzteilen zu bilden. Die Verbindung der einzelnen Wärmetauscherelemente 10 miteinander sowie mit der Abdeckplatte 12 und dem Adapterelement 13 erfolgt durch Löten. Hierzu sind die einzelnen Bauelemente beschichtet. Das gesamte Paket mit den Einzelteilen einschließlich der hier dargestellten Abdichtringe 17, 19 wird erwärmt und damit die Einzelteile miteinander verlötet.A heat exchanger is shown schematically in FIG several arranged parallel to each other and by one Plate-shaped heat exchanger through which flows Heat exchange elements 10 exists. The heat exchange elements 10 are bent at the circumferential outer edges 11 and slat-like stacked on top of a heat exchanger package. The top one End of the heat exchanger package forms a cover plate 12. Den bottom end forms an adapter element 13 in combination with a mounting plate 14. adapter element 13 and Mounting plate 14 can be made in one piece. It but there is also the possibility of this in two pieces To form stamped parts. The connection of the individual Heat exchanger elements 10 with each other and with the cover plate 12 and the adapter element 13 is done by soldering. For this are the individual components coated. The entire package with the Individual parts including the sealing rings shown here 17, 19 is heated and thus the individual parts together soldered.

Das zu kühlende Medium, beispielsweise öl, strömt über die Bohrung 15 in Befestigungsplatte 14 und Adapterelement 13 in den Wärmetauscher ein, verteilt sich dort auf die einzelnen Ebenen gemäß den Pfeilen 16 und verläßt den Wärmetauscher über die Bohrung 18.The medium to be cooled, for example oil, flows over the Bore 15 in mounting plate 14 and adapter element 13 in the Heat exchanger, is distributed over the individual levels according to arrows 16 and leaves the heat exchanger via the Hole 18.

In Figur 2 ist in einer Draufsicht das Adapterelement 13 gezeigt. In diesem ist eine Bohrung 15 für den ölzulauf sowie eine Bohrung 18 für den ölrücklauf enthalten. Da der ölrücklauf über einen Kanal, der im Bereich der Bohrung 20 liegt, erfolgen muß, besteht in der Adapterelement eine Verbindung 21 zwischen der Bohrung 18 und der Bohrung 20. Außerdem ist in diesem Bereich eine Bohrung 22 für ein weiter unten erläutertes überdruckventil vorgesehen.In Figure 2, the adapter element 13 is shown in a plan view. In this there is a bore 15 for the oil supply and a bore 18 included for the oil return. Because the oil return through one Channel, which is located in the region of the bore 20, must exist in the adapter element a connection 21 between the bore 18th and the bore 20. There is also a bore in this area 22 provided for a pressure relief valve explained below.

Es ist aus dieser Darstellung ersichtlich, daß sowohl die Zuführungsbohrungen für das zu kühlende öl als auch die Kanäle zur Weiterleitung an beliebigen Stellen positionierbar ist. Die Adapterplatte ermöglicht ein Anschließen des Wärmetauschers an beliebige Anschlußformen. Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Adapterelement mit Absätzen, Vertiefungen oder ähnlichem auszugestalten und damit an eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Befestigungsstrukturen anzupassen.It can be seen from this illustration that both the Feed holes for the oil to be cooled as well as the channels can be positioned at any point for forwarding. The Adapter plate enables the heat exchanger to be connected any connection form. Of course there is also Possibility of the adapter element with paragraphs, recesses or to design similar and thus to a variety of adapt to different fastening structures.

Figur 3 zeigt die Anordnung eines Überdruckventils 23. Dieses ist in der Befestigungsplatte 14 angeordnet und erstreckt sich bis in den Raum des Adapterelements 13. Das überdruckventil 23 stellt ab einem bestimmten Differenzdruck zwischen Anströmseite und Abströmseite eine direkte Verbindung dieser beiden Seiten her.Figure 3 shows the arrangement of a pressure relief valve 23. This is arranged in the mounting plate 14 and extends up to the space of the adapter element 13. The pressure relief valve 23 switches off a certain differential pressure between the inflow side and Downstream side a direct connection of these two sides.

Figur 4 zeigt den Wärmetauscher ähnlich Figur 1, allerdings befindet sich hier die Schnittebene im Bereich der Zufluß- und Abflußleitungen für das Wärmetauschmittel. Das Wärmetauschmittel fließt über den Anschluß 24 in den Wärmetauscher, durchströmt diesen gemäß den Pfeilen 25, nimmt die Wärme des parallel strömenden, zu kühlenden Mediums auf und verläßt den Wärmetauscher über den Anschluß 26.Figure 4 shows the heat exchanger similar to Figure 1, however here is the cutting plane in the area of the inflow and Drain lines for the heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium flows through the connection 24 into the heat exchanger, flows through this according to the arrows 25, the heat of the parallel takes flowing, to be cooled medium and leaves the Heat exchanger via connection 26.

Die Befestigungsplatte 14 ist an einem gießtechnisch hergestellten Teil 28, beispielsweise einem Filtergrundkörper, mittels Schrauben 29 befestigt. Zur Abdichtung zwischen Befestigungsplatte 14 und dem Teil 28 ist in demselben eine Nut 30 eingegossen, in welche ein Dichtring bzw. ein Dichtelement eingelegt ist. Durch diese Abdichtung ist eine Bearbeitung des gegossenen Teils 28 nicht erforderlich. Es wird somit mit geringem Fertigungsaufwand eine dichte Verbindung zwischen dem ölkühler und der Außenstruktur eines Filtergrundkörpers hergestellt.The mounting plate 14 is cast in one manufactured part 28, for example a filter body, attached by screws 29. For sealing between Mounting plate 14 and part 28 is a groove in the same 30 poured into which a sealing ring or a sealing element is inserted. This sealing is a processing of the molded part 28 not required. It is therefore with low manufacturing effort a tight connection between the oil cooler and the outer structure of a filter body manufactured.
