Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent heating medium from leaking and a header pipe blank from deforming by performing a 1st bending process for the header pipe blank, an inserting process for a partition board and a 2nd bending process for the header pipe blank. CONSTITUTION:The header pipe blank 18 having a nearly U-shaped section is formed by the 1st bending process and the partition board 14 is inserted from the opening 32 of this header pipe blank. Then, the opening side of this header pipe blank 18 is bent inside. In this way, the partition board 14 is press- contacted and tacked to the inside of the header pipe blank. Therefore, a large inserting hole for inserting the partition board need not be provided. Consequently, deformation of the header pipe blank 18 caused by making inserting holes having a large opening area each and, moreover, defective brazing can be prevented.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional header pipe manufacturing method, it is necessary to provide the insertion hole 5 for temporary insertion of the partition, and drilling of this hole is essential. Further, the insertion hole 5 needs to be large enough to allow the insertion part 6 of the partition plate 4 to be inserted thereinto, that is, it needs to be wide enough to cover approximately half the circumference of the header pipe material 1. Therefore, during the brazing process performed after inserting the partition plate 4, the brazing at the insertion hole 5 tends to be defective, causing heat medium leakage. Furthermore, such a large opening is made of header pipe material 1.
When the header pipe material 1 is provided on the side wall of the header pipe, the strength of the header pipe material 1 is significantly reduced. There was a problem with this.

FIG. 12(e) shows a fifth modification, in which the partition plate 1
4e has a protrusion 14e° formed at its lower end. When inserting this partition plate 14e, positioning holes 44 are formed in the header pipe material 18 in the hole drilling process.
As shown in FIG. 13, the protrusion 14e' is inserted into the positioning hole 44 in the insertion process. In this insertion process, the partition plate 14e is positioned by the positioning hole 44, and the partition plate 14 can be temporarily fixed at an appropriate position.

Further, the positioning hole 44 only needs to be a hole of a size sufficient for positioning, and the header pipe material 18 does not need to be opened wide. Therefore, brazing does not cause defects, and the strength of the header pipe material 18 does not decrease significantly. In this fifth modification, a plurality of protrusions 14e' and positioning holes 44 may be provided, thereby improving the temporary fixing effect of the partition plate 14e.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a header pipe material having a U-shaped cross section is formed in the first bending step, a partition plate is inserted into this header pipe material, and the header pipe material is further Since the partition plate is temporarily fixed within the header pipe material by bending the opening side of the partition plate inward, it is not necessary to provide a large insertion hole for inserting the partition plate rod as in the conventional case. Therefore, there is an advantage in that it is possible to prevent deformation of the header pipe material due to the drilling of the insertion hole with a large opening area, and also to prevent defects in brazing.
