Description

Echangeur de chaleur, en particulier radiateur d'un circuit de refroidissement de moteur d'un véhicule.Heat exchanger, in particular radiator of a vehicle engine cooling circuit.

L'invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur, formant en particulier un radiateur d'un circuit de refroidissement d'un moteur de véhicule automobile, comprenant un faisceau de tubes de circulation de liquide qui sont pourvus d'ailettes d'échange thermique avec un fluide extérieur.The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular forming a radiator of a cooling circuit of a motor vehicle engine, comprising a bundle of liquid circulation tubes which are provided with heat exchange fins with a fluid. outside.

Ces ailettes sont en général des plaques métalliques, par exemple d'aluminium, ayant une épaisseur très faible, de l'ordre de 0,1 ou 0,2 mm, qui sont traversées par les tubes de circulation de liquide. Le faisceaua en général la forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle dont deux petites faces opposées sont constituées par les petits cités d'extrémités des ailettes et dont deux grandes faces opposées sont constituées par les grands côtés de ces ailettes. Le fluide extérieur, en général de l'air, traverse le faisceau parallèlement aux ailettes, en pénétrant par l'une desdites grandes faces du faisceau et en sortant par l'autre grande face.These fins are generally metal plates, for example of aluminum, having a very small thickness, of the order of 0.1 or 0.2 mm, which are traversed by the liquid circulation tubes. The bundle generally has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, two small opposite faces of which are formed by the small cities of the ends of the fins and two large opposite faces of which consist of the long sides of these fins. The external fluid, generally air, crosses the beam parallel to the fins, penetrating by one of said large faces of the beam and leaving by the other large face.

On a constaté que, lors des manipulations de l'échangeur avant et pendant son montage dans un véhicule, les ailettes subissaient des déformations, notamment à leurs extrémités formant lesdites petites faces du faisceau, et cela malgré toutes les précautions prises, en raison de leur extrême minceur.It was found that, during handling of the exchanger before and during its mounting in a vehicle, the fins underwent deformations, in particular at their ends forming said small faces of the bundle, and this despite all the precautions taken, due to their extreme thinness.

On a constaté également que les manipulations de l'échangeur à mains nues pouvaient entre dangereuses, car les bords des ailettes très minces sont coupants.It was also found that handling the heat exchanger with bare hands could be dangerous, because the edges of the very thin fins are sharp.

On connait déjà, dans la technique antérieure, des radiateurs dont le faisceau est pourvu de plaques ou traverses métalli- ques latérales permettant, soit de fixer le radiateur à un support prévu à cet effet dans un véhicule automobile, soit de fixer un groupe moto-ventilateur sur le radiateur. Ces plaques ou traverses métalliques rigides sont fixées par sertissage sur les bords des ailettes et recouvrent en partie, lesdites petites faces du faisceau. L'expérience a montré toutefois que ces traverses ou plaques métalliques rigides pouvaient, dans certains cas limites, transmettre aux ailettes les efforts et vibrations auxquels elles étaient soumises lorsque le véhicule était en service, et qu'il en résultait des déformations des ailettes, en raison de la minceur et de la fragilité de celles-ci.Radiators are already known in the prior art, the beam of which is provided with lateral metal plates or crosspieces making it possible either to fix the radiator to a support provided for this purpose in a motor vehicle, or to fix a power unit. fan on the radiator. These rigid metal plates or crosspieces are fixed by crimping on the edges of the fins and partially cover said small faces of the bundle. Experience has shown, however, that these rigid metal sleepers or plates could, in certain borderline cases, transmit to the fins the forces and vibrations to which they were subjected when the vehicle was in service, and that this resulted in deformations of the fins, because of the thinness and the fragility of these.

Par ailleurs, les constructeurs de véhicules automobiles demandent, pour la plupart, que les radiateurs leur soient livrés et/ou puissent etre montés sur les véhicules sans défauts d'aspect et, notamment, sans que les parties des ailettes formant les deux petites faces du faisceau soient déformées ou écrasées.Furthermore, motor vehicle manufacturers request, for the most part, that the radiators be delivered to them and / or be able to be mounted on the vehicles without appearance defects and, in particular, without the parts of the fins forming the two small faces of the beam are distorted or crushed.

L'invention a pour but de répondre à cette demande.The invention aims to meet this demand.

Elle propose à cet effet un échangeur de chaleur, tel qu'un radiateur pour un circuit de refroidissement de moteur de véhicule automobile, comprenant un faisceau de tubes munis d'ailettes d'échange thermique avec un fluide extérieur, le faisceau étant de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique rectangle présentant deux petites faces opposées constituées par des bords ou extrémités des ailettes, caractérisé en ce que l'une au moins de ces deux petites faces du faisceau est munie d'une plaque de protection montée par clipsage élastique sur le faisceau. To this end, it provides a heat exchanger, such as a radiator for a motor vehicle engine cooling circuit, comprising a bundle of tubes provided with heat exchange fins with an external fluid, the bundle being of substantially shaped shape. rectangular parallelepiped having two small opposite faces formed by the edges or ends of the fins, characterized in that at least one of these two small faces of the bundle is provided with a protective plate mounted by elastic clipping on the bundle.

Ces plaques selon l'invention, qui recouvrent les petites faces du faisceau, Ont pour but essentiel de protéger les extrémités ou bords des ailettes lors des manipulations de l'échangeur, lors de son montage et également par la suite lors de l'utilisation du véhicule. A la différence des traverses ou plaques métalliques de la technique antérieure, elles n'ont pas un rôle de support à assurer et peuvent être très minces et par conséquent très légères.These plates according to the invention, which cover the small faces of the bundle, have the essential purpose of protecting the ends or edges of the fins during handling of the exchanger, during its mounting and also subsequently when using the vehicle. Unlike the metal sleepers or plates of the prior art, they do not have a supporting role to ensure and can be very thin and therefore very light.

Elles sont de plus très bon marché et très faciles à monter sur le faisceau.They are also very inexpensive and very easy to mount on the harness.

Avantageusement, ces plaques de protection présentent, sur leur face extérieure, au moins une nervure longitudinale qui permet en particulier de guider ou de positionner le faisceau lors du montage de l'échangeur dans un véhicule et/ou d'assurer une étanchéité entre les petites faces du faisceau et une paroi fixe correspondante du véhicule.Advantageously, these protective plates have, on their outer face, at least one longitudinal rib which makes it possible in particular to guide or position the bundle during the mounting of the exchanger in a vehicle and / or to ensure a seal between the small beam faces and a corresponding fixed wall of the vehicle.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ces plaques de protection comprennent également, sur leur face extérieure, des moyens de fixation ou de guidage d'éléments légers, tels que des cibles, tuyaux ou analogues.According to another characteristic of the invention, these protective plates also comprise, on their outer face, means for fixing or guiding light elements, such as targets, pipes or the like.

Dans la description qui suit, faite à titre d'exemple, on se réfère au dessin annexé qui est une vue schématique partielle en perspective d'un échangeur de chaleur et d'une plaque de protection selon l'invention.In the description which follows, given by way of example, reference is made to the appended drawing which is a partial schematic perspective view of a heat exchanger and a protective plate according to the invention.

L'échangeur de chaleur représenté est du type comprenant un faisceau 10 formé par un ensemble de tubes parallèles 11, disposés en deux rangées, qui traversent des ailettes 12 parallèles et régulièrement écartées les unes des autres.The heat exchanger shown is of the type comprising a bundle 10 formed by a set of parallel tubes 11, arranged in two rows, which pass through fins 12 which are parallel and regularly spaced from one another.

Les tubes 11 sont des tubes métalliques, par exemple en aluminium, à parois minces et sont fixés aux ailettes par tout moyen approprié, par exemple par sertissage.The tubes 11 are metal tubes, for example aluminum, with thin walls and are fixed to the fins by any suitable means, for example by crimping.

Les ailettes 12 sont des plaques planes, rectangulaires, en un métal approprié, par exemple de l'aluminium et ont en général une épaisseur très faible, de l'ordre de 0,1 mm par exemple. L'ensemble tubes 11 - ailettes 12 forme le faisceau 10 de l'échangeur de chaleur.The fins 12 are flat, rectangular plates, made of a suitable metal, for example aluminum, and generally have a very small thickness, of the order of 0.1 mm for example. The assembly of tubes 11 - fins 12 forms the bundle 10 of the heat exchanger.

A au moins une de leurs extrémités, les tubes 11 débouchent dans une boite à eau 13, fixée sur le faisceau 10 d'une façon classique, notamment par l'intermédiaire d'un collecteur ou plaque à trous parallèle aux ailettes 12.At at least one of their ends, the tubes 11 open into a water box 13, fixed to the bundle 10 in a conventional manner, in particular by means of a manifold or plate with holes parallel to the fins 12.

Le faisceau 10 a en général la forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle et présente donc, constituées par les bords des ailettes 12, deux grandes faces 14 et deux petites faces 15, dont une seule est représentée sur le dessin. Ces grandes et petites faces 14 et 15 du faisceau ne sont pas continues, mais sont matérialisées par les bords ou côtés longitudinaux et transversaux des ailettes 12, respectivement. De façon classique (non représentée au dessin), les extrémités des ailettes 12 définissant les petites faces 15 du faisceau peuvent être légèrement pliées ou rabattues, toutes dans le même sens, de façon à donner à ces petites faces un aspect plus continu.The beam 10 generally has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and therefore has, constituted by the edges of the fins 12, two large faces 14 and two small faces 15, only one of which is shown in the drawing. These large and small faces 14 and 15 of the bundle are not continuous, but are materialized by the longitudinal or transverse edges or sides of the fins 12, respectively. Conventionally (not shown in the drawing), the ends of the fins 12 defining the small faces 15 of the bundle can be slightly folded or folded down, all in the same direction, so as to give these small faces a more continuous appearance.

Comme indiqué plus haut, les manipulations de l'échangeur ont souvent pour conséquence des déformations ou des écrasements des parties d'extrémités 16 des ailettes constituant les petites faces du faisceau 15.As indicated above, the handling of the exchanger often results in deformation or crushing of the end parts 16 of the fins constituting the small faces of the bundle 15.

L'invention prévoit de protéger ces parties d'extrémités 16 des ailettes au moyen de plaques ou traverses 18 dont les dimensions, en longueur et en largeur, correspondent à celles des petites faces 15 du faisceau 10 et qui sont montées sur le faisceau simplement par clipsage élastique.The invention provides for protecting these end portions 16 of the fins by means of plates or crosspieces 18 whose dimensions, in length and in width, correspond to those of the small faces 15 of the bundle 10 and which are mounted on the bundle simply by elastic clipping.

Avantageusement, les plaques ou traverses 18 sont réalisées en une matière légère et élastiquement déformable, telle qu'une matière plastique, par exemple du polyéthylène, et peuvent être obtenues facilement par extrusion ou par moulage. Advantageously, the plates or crosspieces 18 are made of a light and elastically deformable material, such as a plastic material, for example polyethylene, and can be obtained easily by extrusion or by molding.

Pour leur montage par clipsage sur le faisceau, ces plaques 18 comprennent des parties latérales 19, telles que des rebords longitudinaux qui sont parallèles l'un à l'autre et perpendiculaires au plan de la plaque 18 correspondante, et qui présentent sur leurs faces internes, en regard l'une de l'autre, une nervure longitudinale 20 propre à s'emboîter élastiquement dans une rainure 21 présentée par chaque grande face 14 du faisceau au voisinage immédiat de la petite face 15 correspondante de ce faisceau. Les rainures 21 des grandes faces 14 du faisceau sont formées par l'alignement d'encoches identiques 22, en forme de V à fond arrondi, pratiquées dans les grands côtes des ailettes 12, au voisinage immédiat des petits côtés de ces ailettes.For their mounting by clipping onto the bundle, these plates 18 include lateral parts 19, such as longitudinal edges which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of the corresponding plate 18, and which have on their internal faces , facing one another, a longitudinal rib 20 suitable for fitting elastically in a groove 21 presented by each large face 14 of the bundle in the immediate vicinity of the corresponding small face 15 of this bundle. The grooves 21 of the large faces 14 of the bundle are formed by the alignment of identical notches 22, in the form of a V with a rounded bottom, formed in the large ribs of the fins 12, in the immediate vicinity of the short sides of these fins.

Le montage des plaques de protection 18 est extrêmement simple. I1 suffit de disposer ces plaques parallèlement aux petites faces 15 du faisceau et de les en approcher, comme indiqué par la flèche 23, puis de les appuyer légèrement, les nervures 20 des rebords 19 venant alors s'emboîter élastiquement dans les rainures 21 formées par les encoches 22 des ailettes.The mounting of the protective plates 18 is extremely simple. It suffices to place these plates parallel to the small faces 15 of the bundle and to approach them, as indicated by arrow 23, then to press them lightly, the ribs 20 of the flanges 19 then coming to fit elastically into the grooves 21 formed by the notches 22 of the fins.

Ces plaques de protection 18 sont montées sur les petites faces opposées 15 du faisceau 10 lors de l'assemblage de l'échangeur 10 et peuvent rester en place lorsque l'échangeur a été monté dans le véhicule automobile.These protective plates 18 are mounted on the small opposite faces 15 of the bundle 10 during assembly of the exchanger 10 and can remain in place when the exchanger has been mounted in the motor vehicle.

Avantageusement, les plaques de protection 18 peuvent présenter, sur leur face extérieure, au moins une nervure longitudinale 24, comme représenté au dessin, pour permettre ou faciliter un positionnement précis du faisceau 10 par rapport à des parois fixes du support du radiateur dans le véhicule, et également pour assurer une étanchéité entre les petites parois 15 du faisceau et ces parois fixes du support, en formant barrage pour l'air destiné à traverser le faisceau par les grandes faces de celui-ci. Advantageously, the protective plates 18 may have, on their outer face, at least one longitudinal rib 24, as shown in the drawing, to allow or facilitate precise positioning of the beam 10 relative to fixed walls of the radiator support in the vehicle , and also to ensure a seal between the small walls 15 of the bundle and these fixed walls of the support, by forming a barrier for the air intended to pass through the bundle by the large faces of the latter.

Les nervures longitudinales 24 des plaques de protection 18 peuvent également présenter, comme représenté en trait fantôme sur le dessin, des trous ou orifices 25, pour le passage ou le guidage d'éléments légers, tels que des cables, des tuyaux, etc.The longitudinal ribs 24 of the protective plates 18 may also have, as shown in phantom in the drawing, holes or orifices 25, for the passage or guidance of light elements, such as cables, pipes, etc.

Pour fixer les idées, on précisera à titre d'exemple que ces plaques de protection 18 ont une longueur comprise entre 300 et 800 mm selon les cas, une largeur d'environ 35 mm, et une épaisseur d'environ 1 à 1,5 mm.To fix the ideas, it will be specified by way of example that these protective plates 18 have a length of between 300 and 800 mm depending on the case, a width of approximately 35 mm, and a thickness of approximately 1 to 1.5 mm.

Un radiateur, dont le faisceau 10 est pourvu de plaques de protection 18 recouvrant ces petites faces 15, peut être manipulé à mains nues sans risque de coupure, et sans que les parties 16 d'extrémités des ailettes 12 soient déformées, pliées ou écrasées. A radiator, the bundle 10 of which is provided with protective plates 18 covering these small faces 15, can be handled with bare hands without risk of cutting, and without the end portions 16 of the fins 12 being deformed, bent or crushed.
