A male screw-like groove 15b is formed below the flange portion 15a with a predetermined length.

  In addition to the formation of a seal groove 15c fitted with an annular seal member S2 that seals both the flange portion 15 and the main body 2a, the position spaced apart vertically below the groove 15b is Seal grooves 15d and 15e in which the seal members S3 and S4 are mounted are formed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the connecting holes 8 b and 8 c of the tank plate 8 of the header 4 are fixed in a state where the corresponding connecting portions 13 b and 13 c for the joint member 11 are inserted. The fixing part 12d of the adapter member 12 is joined to the joining part 11a of the member 11 in a state where it is inserted.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the step 12c of the adapter member 12 abuts on the upper end of the joint 11a, and the groove 12e of the adapter 12 communicates with the communication window 11c of the joint 11a. The placing wax X1 placed in the groove 12e is melted into the gap W between the fixing portion 12d and the joining portion 11a and is joined over the entire circumference thereof, whereby the adapter member 12 is joined. The joint member 11 is fixed.

The receiver tank 2 is fixed to the groove 12b of the adapter member 12 in a state where the groove 15b of the connection pipe 15 of the receiver tank 2 is screwed.
Further, the sealing performance between the connecting pipe 15 and the adapter member 12 is ensured by the sealing members S1, S3, and S4.

  Accordingly, the receiver tank 2 is detachably fixed to the adapter member 12, and is in a state of communicating with the chambers R4 and R5 of the header 4 through the connection portions 13b and 13c of the adapter member 12 and the joint member 11. ing.

Next, the operation will be described.
When manufacturing the heat exchanger A with a receiver tank configured as described above, first, the respective constituent members described above are individually manufactured using aluminum as a material.
At this time, at least one of the contact portions of each component member is provided with a clad layer (brazing sheet) made of a brazing material. In the peripheral member of the receiver 2, the outer side of the tank 4 and the second divided member A brazing material is provided inside and outside 14, and a brazing material is placed in the groove 12 e of the adapter member 12 over the entire circumference. On the other hand, the first divided member 13 is not provided with a brazing material.

  Next, after the heat exchanger main body 1 is temporarily assembled, as shown in FIG. 13, the header connecting portions 13 b and 13 c of the first divided member 13 are respectively connected to the corresponding communication holes 8 b and 8 c of the tank plate 8 of the header 4. The stepped portions 13d of the header connecting portions 13b and 13c are brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tank plate 8.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the substantially elliptical columnar jigs 20 and 20 each having a stepped portion 20a whose diameter is increased radially outward are respectively connected to the header connecting portions 13b and 13b from the opening side of the first divided member 13, respectively. The header connecting portions 13b and 13c are inserted into 13c and expanded in diameter from the inner side to the outer side, and are fixed by caulking in the communication holes 8b and 8c.
At this time, the step portions 20a of the jigs 20 and 20 come into contact with the inner side of the step portions 13d of the header connection portions 13b and 13c and are pressed toward the tank plate 8, thereby the header connection portions 13b and 13c. In a state where the respective step portions 13d are in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tank plate 8, the header connection portions 13b and 13c can be fixed by being crimped to the communication holes 8b and 8c.
Note that the header connecting portions 13b and 13c may be plastically deformed and caulked so as to increase in diameter toward the distal end side.

Accordingly, there is no need for a jig for fixing the tank plate 8, and the jig 20 can be easily inserted from the opening side of the first divided member 13 to expand the diameter of the header connection portions 13b and 13c. Good sex.
Further, the stepped portions 13d of the header connecting portions 13b and 13c abut on the outer peripheral surface of the tank plate 8, whereby the insertion allowance of the header connecting portions 13b and 13c into the communication holes 8a and 8b can be easily positioned.
Note that the first divided member 13 can be fixed in advance as described above before the tank plate 8 is temporarily assembled to the heat exchanger body 1. In this case, the jig 20 can be inserted from the inside of the tank plate 8 and the header connecting portions 13b and 13c can be crimped and fixed to the communication holes 8b and 8c.

Next, after the second divided member 14 is overlapped in the middle of the first divided member 13 and the joint member 11 is temporarily fixed, the fixing portion 12d of the adapter member 12 is slightly press-fitted into the joint portion 11a. insert.
At this time, both edge portions 13e, 13e of the first divided member 13 and both edge portions 14a, 14a of the second divided member 14 are fitted to each other, whereby both can be fixed in a properly positioned state.
Further, since the placing wax X1 is provided in the groove 12e, it does not get in the way when the fixing portion 12d is inserted into the joint portion 11a, and there is no possibility of coming off in contact with the joint member 11 side.

  Next, the heat exchanger body 1 to which both the divided members 13 and 14 and the adapter member 12 are temporarily fixed is transported to a heating furnace (not shown) and heat-treated, thereby fixing the fixing portions of the constituent members by brazing. .

  At this time, in the first embodiment, since the brazing material is provided on the outer side and the inner side of the second divided member 14, each joint portion between the divided members 13 and 14 can be brazed well by the outer brazing material. .

  Here, both the divided members 13 and 14 and the adapter member 12 have a large difference in thermal mass, and the fixing portion 12d of the adapter member 12 is inserted into the joining portion 11a. The brazing material is not heated as desired, and it is difficult to achieve good brazing. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, hot air in the heating furnace is provided in the groove 12e through the communication window 11c. The placed brazing filler metal X1 is melted, whereby the brazing material can be distributed between the fixing portion 12d and the joint portion 11a, and can be satisfactorily brazed and fixed over the entire circumference.

  Further, since the inside of the joint portion 11a is smoothly heated by the hot air, the brazing material provided inside the split member 14 of the joint portion 11a can be melted and brazed and fixed to the fixing portion 12d.

  In addition, when applying the flux, the flux can be applied along the groove 12e through the communication window 11c, whereby the flux can be applied to the entire circumference of the fixing portion 12d, and good brazing and fixing can be achieved. realizable.

  In addition, since both of the divided members 13, 14 and particularly the first divided member 13 that is in direct contact with the tank plate 8 are press-molded products and are light in weight and have a low thermal mass, the heat received by the tank plate 8 during brazing and fixing. Stable brazing and fixing can be realized with less influence.

  Further, the header connecting portions 13b, 13c of the joint member 11 project in a cylindrical shape toward the header 4 so that a space O (see FIG. 11) is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the header 4 and the header connecting portions 13b, 13c. ) Can be reduced as much as possible to achieve a smooth temperature rise and temperature drop of the header 4 during brazing and fixing.

  In addition to the stepped portions 13d of the header connecting portions 13b and 13c coming into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tank plate 8, the header connecting portions 13b and 13c of the joint member 11 have an elliptical cross section. Compared to the case, the joint member 11 and the adapter member 12 can be stably fixed during and after brazing.

  Therefore, in the first embodiment, the two divided members 13 and 14 and the adapter member 12 can be fixed with a small amount of brazing material provided on the second divided member 14, and thus the molten brazing material flows into the header 5. Thus, erosion of the tube or the like can be prevented.

Next, the receiver tank 2 is fixed by screwing the groove 15b of the connecting pipe 15 of the receiver tank 2 into the groove 12b of the adapter member 12 and bringing the lower end of the flange portion 15 into contact with the upper end portion of the adapter member 12. Then, the manufacture of the heat exchanger A with a receiver tank is finished.
At this time, the screwing operation can be performed by applying a tightening tool to the flange portion 15a of the connecting pipe 15 of the receiver tank 2 and rotating it, and there is no possibility that the brazing material of the peripheral member is cracked or broken.
Moreover, since the lower end of the flange part 15 contacts the upper end part of the adapter member 12, it is possible to prevent excessive tightening of the connecting pipe 15 into the adapter part 12.
Therefore, the receiver tank 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the adapter member 12, and the type and size of the receiver tank 2 can be easily designed and changed according to the type and core size of the heat exchanger body 1.
Furthermore, when the receiver tank 2 is damaged, it can be removed from the adapter member 12 for replacement / repair, and the maintainability is excellent.

  The heat exchanger A with a receiver tank configured as described above flows into the chamber R1 of the header 5 from the compressor side (not shown) through the connection hole 16a (see FIG. 1) of the connector P1 after being mounted on the vehicle. The circulation medium of about 70 ° C. exchanges heat through the fins 6b and the vehicle running wind passing through the core section 6 or the forced wind by the fans while passing through the tubes 6a corresponding to the chambers R1 and R2 of the core section 6. Then, it flows into the chamber R2 of the header 4.

  The distribution medium in the chamber R2 flows through the tubes 6a5 corresponding to the chambers R2 and R3 of the core portion 6 and flows into the chamber R3 of the header 5. Next, the distribution medium in the chamber R3 is the core portion. After flowing through the tubes 6 a corresponding to the six chambers R 3 and R 4, heat exchange is performed with the vehicle traveling wind passing through the core portion 6 a or forced air by the fan, and then flows into the chamber R 4 of the header 4.

  Next, the flow medium in the chamber R4 flows into the main body of the receiver tank 2 from the connection portion 13b of the joint member 11 and is separated into gas and liquid by an internal structure outside the figure, and then from the connection portion 13d to the chamber R5. Inflow.

  Next, the liquid circulation medium in the chamber R5 is heat-exchanged with the vehicle running wind passing through the core section 6 or the forced wind by the fan while flowing through the tubes 6a corresponding to the chambers R5 and R6 of the core section 6. As a result, it is supercooled to about 45 ° C. and flows into the chamber R 6 of the header 5.

  Finally, the distribution medium in the chamber R6 is discharged from the connection hole 16b of the connector P2 to the evaporator side outside the figure, whereby the heat exchanger body 1 corresponds to the chambers R1 to R4 as shown in FIG. It functions as a condenser divided into an upper condensing part E1 and a lower supercooling part E2 corresponding to the chambers R5 and R6.
