Generell erhält durch die Reduzierung der Rohrwandstärken die Temperaturwechselbelastung bei Kraftfahrzeugkühlmittelkühlern einen immer größeren Stellenwert.In general, by reducing the pipe wall thicknesses, the thermal cycling in automotive coolant coolers is becoming increasingly important.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Problem, für einen Wärmeübertrager der gattungsgemäßen Art eine verbesserte oder zumindest eine alternative Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere auch bei dünnwandigen Flachrohren mit zumindest einer Trennwand durch eine gesteigerte Dauerfestigkeit in dem Trennwandbereich auszeichnet.The present invention therefore deals with the problem of providing a heat exchanger of the generic type an improved or at least one alternative embodiment, which is characterized in particular in thin-walled flat tubes with at least one partition by an increased fatigue strength in the partition wall area.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of
Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, im Bereich einer Lötfläche zwischen einem Flachrohr und einem Durchzug in einem Rohrboden zumindest eine Längsseite, vorzugsweise beide Längsseiten, des Durchzuges so auszubilden, beispielsweise durch entsprechende Laschen oder das Einbringen von Vertiefungen, dass eine sich später zwischen der zumindest einen Längsseite des Durchzuges und dem Flachrohr ergebende Lötfläche eine Lötgrenze bzw. einen Lötrand mit einem wellenförmigen Verlauf aufweist, wobei ein Hochpunkt des wellenförmigen Verlaufes der Lötgrenze mit einer Trennwand, insbesondere mit einem Falz, des jeweiligen Flachrohres zusammen fällt, wodurch eine deutlich erhöhte Temperaturwechselfestigkeit erreicht werden kann, was sich beispielsweise durch FEM-Rechnungen bestätigt hat. Der erfindungsgemäße Wärmeübertrager weist hierzu in bekannter Weise einen Wärmeübertragerblock mit Flachrohren auf, die jeweils längsendseitig in einem Durchzug des zugehörigen Rohrbodens gehalten sind. Jeder Durchzug weist dabei zwei sich gegenüberliegende und im Wesentlichen gerade Längsseiten sowie zwei sich gegenüberliegende Schmalseiten auf. Darüber hinaus ist jedes Flachrohr mit den Längsseiten und den Schmalseiten des Durchzuges verlötet. Erfindungsgemäß weist nun zumindest eine Lötverbindung zwischen zumindest einer der Längsseiten zumindest eines Durchzuges und einem darin angeordneten Flachrohr eine wellenförmige Lötgrenze auf die durch wellenförmige Vertiefungen ausgebildet ist, die bei in den Durchzügen verlöteten Flachrohren einen ebenso wellenförmigen Verlauf der Lötgrenze in diesem Bereich, das heißt entlang der zugehörigen Längsseite, erzeugen. Die wellenförmige Lötgrenze, welche selbstredend Hochpunkte und Tiefpunkte aufweist, ist nun derart zu der zumindest einen Trennwand des Flachrohres ausgerichtet, dass die Lötgrenze im Bereich der zumindest einen Trennwand, insbesondere des zumindest einen Falzes, einen Hochpunkt und damit insbesondere eine zum freien Rand des Durchzuges hin reduzierte Breite aufweist. Hierdurch kann eine deutliche Spannungsreduzierung im Trennwandbereich erreicht werden, was einer erheblichen Lebensdauerverlängerung unter Temperaturlast entspricht. Insgesamt kann durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung zumindest einer der Längsseiten eines Durchzuges mit der hieraus resultierenden wellenförmigen Lötgrenze und die Ausrichtung der Hochpunkte der wellenförmigen Lötgrenze auf die Trennwand des Flachrohres eine deutlich gesteigerte Temperaturbeständigkeit des Wärmeübertragers erreicht werden.
Erfindungsgemäß weist dabei zumindest eine der Längsseiten zumindest eines Durchzuges wellenförmige Vertiefungen aufweist, wobei deren wellenförmiger Rand die entsprechende wellenförmige Lötgrenze der Lötverbindung zwischen dem zumindest einen Durchzug und dem darin angeordneten Flachrohr bildet, wobei die wellenförmige Lötgrenze beabstandet zu einem freien Rand des Durchzuges verläuft und mit dem freien Rand eine Lötfläche begrenzt, deren Breite b insbesondere im Bereich des Falzes bzw. der Trennwände reduziert ist.Insgesamt ergibt sich somit eine verlötete Fläche, die nach oben hin rechteckförmig zum freien Rand des Durchzuges abschließt und nach unten mittels des wellenförmigen Verlaufs der Lötgrenze bzw. dem Lötrand, wodurch nicht nur eine großflächige und damit zuverlässige Verlötung geschaffen werden kann, sondern durch den speziellen erfindungsgemäßen wellenförmigen Verlauf der Lötgrenze mit Anordnung eines Hochpunktes im Bereich der zumindest einen Trennwand, insbesondere des zumindest einen Falzes, des Flachrohres auch eine äußerst temperaturbelastungsbeständige. Dabei ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die wellenförmige Lötgrenze eine der Anzahl der Trennwände entsprechende Anzahl an Hochpunkten aufweist.The present invention is based on the general idea of forming at least one longitudinal side, preferably both longitudinal sides, of the passage in the region of a soldering surface between a flat tube and a passage in a tubesheet, for example by means of corresponding straps or the introduction of depressions, which later becomes between the solder surface resulting at least one longitudinal side of the passage and the flat tube has a soldering edge or a soldering edge with a wave-shaped course, wherein a high point of the wave-shaped course of the soldering line coincides with a partition, in particular with a fold, of the respective flat tube, whereby a significantly increased Thermal shock resistance can be achieved, which has been confirmed for example by FEM calculations. The heat exchanger according to the invention has for this purpose in a known manner to a heat exchanger block with flat tubes, which are each held along the longitudinal end in a passage of the associated tube sheet. Each passage has two opposite and in the Essentially straight longitudinal sides and two opposite narrow sides. In addition, each flat tube is soldered to the long sides and the narrow sides of the passage. According to the invention, at least one solder joint between at least one of the longitudinal sides of at least one passage and a flat tube arranged therein has a wavy soldering boundary formed by wave-shaped recesses which, in the case of flat tubes soldered in the passages, have an equally undulating course of the soldering limit in this region, ie along the associated longitudinal side, generate. The wave-shaped soldering boundary, which of course has high points and low points, is now aligned with the at least one partition wall of the flat tube such that the soldering limit in the region of the at least one partition, in particular of the at least one fold, is a high point and thus, in particular, a free edge of the passage has reduced width. In this way, a significant reduction in voltage in the partition wall area can be achieved, which corresponds to a significant life extension under temperature load. Overall, a significantly increased temperature resistance of the heat exchanger can be achieved by the inventive design of at least one of the longitudinal sides of a passage with the resulting wavy Lötgrenze and the alignment of the high points of the wave soldering border on the partition wall of the flat tube.
According to the invention, at least one of the longitudinal sides of at least one passage has wave-shaped depressions, the wave-shaped edge of which forms the corresponding undulating soldering edge of the solder joint between the at least one passage and the flat tube arranged therein, wherein the undulating soldering boundary extends at a distance to a free edge of the passage and with limited to the free edge of a soldering surface, whose width b is reduced in particular in the region of the fold or the partitions.In total, this results in a soldered surface, which closes upwards rectangular to the free edge of the passage and down by means of the wave-shaped Along the solder boundary or the soldering edge, which not only a large-scale and thus reliable soldering can be created, but also by the special invention wavy course of Lötgrenze with arrangement of a high point in the region of at least one partition, in particular of at least one fold, the flat tube an extremely temperature resistant. It is preferably provided that the wave-shaped solder limit has a number of partitions corresponding number of high points.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung weist die Lötgrenze im Bereich des Hochpunktes und/oder des Tiefpunktes zwei um jeweils einen Winkel α von 7° ≤ α ≤ 30° zu einer Horizontalen abgewinkelte Flanken auf. Je nach gewähltem Winkel kann dabei in Zusammenschau mit der Wellenlänge ein flacherer bzw. steilerer Verlauf der Lötgrenze erreicht werden.In an advantageous development of the solution according to the invention, the soldering limit in the region of the high point and / or the low point has two flanks angled away from each other at an angle α of 7 ° ≦ α ≦ 30 ° to a horizontal. Depending on the selected angle, a flatter or steeper course of the soldering limit can be achieved in conjunction with the wavelength.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung weist die Lötgrenze zwischen dem Hochpunkt und dem Tiefpunkt eine Höhendifferenz h von 1,5 mm < h < 2,5 mm auf. Durch die Bestimmung bzw. Festlegung der Amplitude des wellenförmigen Verlaufes der Lötgrenze, welche der halben Höhe entspricht, kann ebenfalls Einfluss auf die Dauerfestigkeit genommen werden.In an advantageous development of the solution according to the invention, the soldering boundary between the high point and the low point has a height difference h of 1.5 mm <h <2.5 mm. By determining or determining the amplitude of the wave-shaped curve of the soldering limit, which corresponds to half the height, influence on the fatigue strength can also be taken.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung weist die wellenförmige Lötgrenze eine Wellenlänge l von 4,0 mm ≤ l ≤ 26,0 mm auf. Dieser Bereich lässt bereits erahnen, dass insbesondere für unterschiedlich große Wärmeübertrager die Wellenlänge l der wellenförmigen Lötgrenze einfach an die jeweilige Größe des Flachrohres bzw. des Durchzuges adaptiert werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the wave-shaped soldering limit has a wavelength l of 4.0 mm ≦ l ≦ 26.0 mm. This range already suggests that, in particular for heat exchangers of different sizes, the wavelength l of the wave-shaped soldering boundary can be easily adapted to the respective size of the flat tube or of the passage.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung geht die wellenförmige Lötgrenze über einen Hochpunkt in die Schmalseite des Durchzuges über. Die Schmalseite kann dabei rechtwinklig zu den beiden Längsseiten angeordnet sein, oder aber auch halbkreisförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei durch das Übergehen der wellenförmigen Lötgrenze über einen Hochpunkt in die Schmalseite eine höhere Spannungsaufnahme möglich ist. Da insbesondere diese Eckbereiche bei einer Temperaturbelastung hohen Spannungen ausgesetzt sind, kann hierdurch ebenfalls die Lebensdauer des erfindungsgemäßen Wärmeübertragers verlängert werden.In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the wave-shaped soldering boundary goes over a high point in the narrow side of the Passage over. The narrow side can be arranged at right angles to the two longitudinal sides, or else be formed semicircular, with a higher voltage pickup is possible by going over the wave-shaped solder border over a high point in the narrow side. Since, in particular, these corner regions are exposed to high stresses under a temperature load, the service life of the heat exchanger according to the invention can likewise be prolonged as a result.

Die wellenförmige Lötgrenze 12 bzw. die wellenförmigen Vertiefungen 11 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel an einer Einführseite 17 der Längsseite 7 des Durchzuges 5 des Rohrbodens 6 angeordnet. Die jeweiligen Einführseiten 17 der Durchzüge 5 sind einem Sammelkasten 18 des Wärmeübertragers 1 abgewandt (vgl.
Der wellenförmige Verlauf der Lötgrenze 12 und insbesondere die deckungsgleiche Anordnung der Hochpunkte 13 der Lötgrenze 12 mit den Trennwänden 10 bzw. dem Falz 9 führen zu einer deutlichen Reduzierung der Spannungen in diesem Bereich unter Temperaturbelastung, wodurch eine deutlich erhöhte Temperaturwechselfestigkeit des Wärmeübertragers 1 erzielt werden kann. FEM-Berechnungen haben dabei mit den beschriebenen Geometrien gezeigt, dass eine mittels des erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten und in Bezug auf den Falz 9 bzw. die Trennwand 10 ausgerichteten Verlaufs der Lötgrenze 12 eine deutliche Spannungsreduzierung und somit eine erhebliche Lebensdauerverlängerung unter Temperaturlast bedeutet. Ein weiterer großer Vorteil der wellenförmigen Lötgrenze 12, gebildet durch beispielsweise die Vertiefungen 11 bzw. Einkerbungen liegt in dem einfachen Einführen der Flachrohre 4 in die Durchzüge 5, ohne dass hierbei die Gefahr des Verkantens besteht. Dabei können die wellenförmigen Vertiefungen 11 zugleich eine Einführschräge bilden, insbesondere auch im Bereich der Tiefpunkte 14, die das Einführen des Flachrohrs 4 in den zugehörigen Durchzug 5 erleichtert.The wave-shaped course of the
