Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kühler für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einem Rippen - Rohr - Block, bestehend aus Flachrohren mit dazwischen angeordneten Rippen, wobei die umgeformten Enden der Flachrohre in gegenüberliegenden Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen münden und mit den Längsseiten der umgeformten Enden untereinander verbunden sind wobei die Enden der Flachrohre von den Verbindungsrändern der Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen umfaßt und mittels Löten verbunden sind. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung solcher Kühler, bei dem der Rippen - Rohr - Block mit den Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen gleichzeitig verlötet werden. Der Kühler wird in seiner Herstellung vereinfacht und in seiner Funktion verbessert, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Flachrohre (2) aus zwei Rohrhälften (2a; 2b) bestehen, wovon mindestens eine Rohrhälfte an ihren Enden (4) quer zur Längsrichtung abgebogen ist, wobei die Abbiegung (8) eine Längsseite des Flachrohres (2) ausbildet, die etwa mit dem Ende der Längsseite des benachbarten Flachrohres (2) eine Verbindungsfläche (9) bildet und wenn die Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen (5) mit ihren Verbindungsrändern (7) bis über die Abbiegung (8) hinweg reichen und mit den Längsrändern (10) der Rohrhälften (2a; 2b) verbunden sind. Ein erstes erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren sieht vor, daß Flachrohrhälften aus Blechband (21) unter Umformung der Längsränder hergestellt und auf Länge geschnitten werden, daß dann entweder zuerst an den Enden mindestens einer der Flachrohrhälften eines jeden Flachrohres mindestens eine Abbiegung quer zur Längsrichtung der Flachrohrhälften angebracht wird, und danach beim Zusammenfügen des Rippen-Flachrohr-Blocks Verbindungsflächen zwischen den abgebogenen Enden einer Flachrohrhälfte mit den Enden des benachbarten Flachrohres gebildet werden, oder daß zuerst die Flachrohrhälften zu Flachrohren zusammengefügt und mit den Rippen (3) zum Rippen - Flachrohr -Block zusammengesetzt werden und danach die Enden mindestens einer Flachrohrhälfte eines jeden Flachrohres durch Einführen eines Werkzeuges so weit abgebogen werden, daß sie mit den Enden (4) der Flachrohrhälfte des benachbarten Flachrohres eine Verbindungsfläche ausbildet und daß die Sammel-oder Umlenkkästen mit ihren Verbindungsrändern über die Längsränder der Flachrohrhälften geschoben werden. Ein alternatives Herstellungsverfahren sieht die Verwendung von Flachrohrhälften vor, die miteinander an ihren Schmalseiten verschweißt sind.
