Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular a radiator for cooling the drive motor of a motor vehicle, comprising a bundle of parallel tubes for the circulation of a fluid to be cooled, aligned in at least one row, and at at least one profiled cheek extending in the same longitudinal direction as the tubes and arranged at one end of said row, as well as at least one support fixed on said cheek to receive a component in a determined position relative to the heat exchanger heat.
  • the component to be positioned thanks to the support is for example a nozzle intended to channel, through the radiator, the air flow produced by a fan and intended to sweep the tubes to cool the fluid which circulates there.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a support that is inexpensive to produce and easy to fix on the heat exchanger.
  • the invention relates in particular to a heat exchanger of the kind defined in the introduction, and provides that the support comprises a sheet metal jumper having a clean back to rest on the cheek opposite the beam and two flanges extending from of the back substantially in the direction of alignment of the tubes on either side of the bundle and of the cheek, stamped portions of the back projecting towards the cheek and cooperating with the profile of the latter to ensure rider guidance relative to the cheek in said longitudinal direction and each of the flanges having on its edge opposite the back of the teeth which are folded towards the other flange by trapping the marginal regions of the cheek to maintain the back applied to it and immobilize the support in the longitudinal direction.
  • the support comprises a sheet metal jumper having a clean back to rest on the cheek opposite the beam and two flanges extending from of the back substantially in the direction of alignment of the tubes on either side of the bundle and of the cheek, stamped portions of the back projecting towards the cheek and cooperating with the profile of the latter to ensure rider guidance relative to the cheek in said longitudinal direction and each of
  • the partially illustrated radiator intended for cooling a heat transfer fluid which collects the heat released by the heat engine driving a motor vehicle, comprises a row of tubes 1 for the circulation of this fluid.
  • the tubes 1 are elongated in the same horizontal direction, and mutually aligned in the vertical direction. They have a flattened cross section whose length and thickness are oriented respectively horizontally and vertically.
  • the tubes 1 are kept apart from each other by fins or spacers 2 in the form of strips of corrugated sheet metal in the manner of a sinusoid, the corrugation ridges of the same spacer alternately coming into contact with two neighboring tubes of the row.
  • the tube located at the upper end of the row is kept apart, by an insert 2 similar to the previous ones, from a profiled cheek 3 elongated parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tubes, hereinafter simply called "longitudinal direction".
  • the cheek 3 is formed by a strip of sheet metal about 0.5 mm thick, folded along longitudinal lines to form a substantially flat sole 4, resting on the ridges of the interlayer 2, and two ribs 5 deviating from the sole opposite the interlayer 2 and consequently from the tubes 1.
  • the two ribs 5 are disposed in the vicinity respectively of the two lateral edges 6 of the cheek 3, which lateral edges are located respectively in the same two vertical planes as the opposite edges 7 of the inserts 2, these two planes, parallel to the longitudinal direction and to the direction of alignment of the tubes, defining two main faces of the radiator.
  • the radiator may further comprise two fluid boxes into which the two ends of each of the tubes 1 open respectively, as well as a second cheek similar to the cheek 6 placed at the lower end of the bundle formed by the tubes. 1 and the inserts 2.
  • the tubes 1, the inserts 2, the cheek 3 and, where appropriate, the two fluid boxes and the bottom cheek are mutually assembled by brazing to form a rigid block.
  • a support 8 constituted, according to the invention, by a single piece of cut sheet metal and folded.
  • the support 8, elongated in the longitudinal direction, has a substantially flat back 9 which rests on the crests of the two ribs 5, the back 9 connecting to two longitudinal flanges 10 and 11 folded substantially at right angles to the beam, opposite the two main faces thereof respectively.
  • the flange 10 extends over the entire length of the support, while the flange 11 is in two parts adjacent respectively to the two ends of the support. Between these two parts, the back 9 is connected to an L-shaped tab 12 of which a branch 13 extends it laterally, substantially in its own plane, the other branch 14 being folded at right angles to the first for extend opposite the corresponding main face of the block. A central zone of the branch 14 is pushed back towards the block to form a threaded collar 15.
  • each of the two regions of the back 8 adjacent to the two parts of the flange 11 are formed several stamped tongues 16, elongated in the lateral direction of the back and mutually aligned in the longitudinal direction.
  • Each tongue is delimited at its two ends by slots 17 produced by punching across the thickness of the back, oriented in the longitudinal direction, which allow to press the tongue by stamping in the direction of the sole 4, according to an arcuate profile as seen in FIG. 5.
  • the length of the tongues 16 corresponds to the interval between the two ribs 5, so that the two ends of each tongue may come to bear substantially on the internal sides of the ribs, allowing longitudinal guidance of the support 8 relative to the cheek 3.
  • the free edges of the flanges 10 and 11 are crenellated so as to form teeth 18 which, when the support is properly positioned with respect to the bundle of tubes and the sole 3, are bent under the edges 6 of the cheek, each in the direction on the other flange, by entering the sections 7 of the interlayer which they deform.
  • the cooperation of the tongues 16 with the ribs 5 immobilizes the support 8 relative to the block brazed in the lateral direction, and the folding of the teeth 18 completes this immobilization in the longitudinal direction and in the direction of alignment of the tubes.
  • the folded teeth 18 can come into direct contact with the edges 6 of the cheek to trap it between the teeth and the back 9, the deformation of the edges 7 further ensuring immobilization in the direction longitudinal.
  • a component such as a nozzle for channeling an air flow can be fixed on the support 8 by means of a screw screwed into the threaded collar 15.
  • two supports such as 8 or more can be arranged on the cheek 3.
  • similar supports can also be mounted on another cheek placed at the lower end of the beam.
  • the support according to the invention is easy and inexpensive to produce and install. It can be placed at the desired location along the cheek, without modification thereof. In addition, it is put in place after brazing the radiator, so that the brazing equipment also does not have to be modified to take account of its presence.
