Description

차량용 히터코어 장치{HEATER CORE APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE}[0001] HEATER CORE APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE [0002]

본 발명은 차량용 히터코어 장치에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 열전소자와 히트파이프를 이용해서 겨울철 냉간 시동시에 초기 난방 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 차량용 히터코어 장치에 관한 기술이다.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a heater core device for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a heater core device for a vehicle that can improve initial heating performance during a cold start in winter using a thermoelectric element and a heat pipe.

일반적으로, 히터코어는 엔진에서 가열된 냉각수를 이용해 차가운 외부공기를 예열하는 장치이며, 예열된 공기는 블로워를 통해 차 실내로 공급되는 바, 주로 겨울철 차 실내의 난방이 필요한 경우 사용된다.Generally, the heater core is a device for preheating cold outside air using the cooling water heated by the engine, and the preheated air is supplied to the inside of the car through the blower.

종래의 히터코어는 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 냉각수가 유입되는 입구파이프(1)를 구비한 유입탱크(2), 냉각수가 배출되는 출구파이프(3)를 구비한 배출탱크(4), 상기 유입탱크(2)와 배출탱크(4)를 연결하고 냉각수유로를 형성하는 다수개의 튜브(5), 상기 튜브(5)사이에 개재된 핀(6)을 포함하는 구성으로 되어 있다.1, the conventional heater core includes an inlet tank 2 having an inlet pipe 1 into which cooling water flows, a discharge tank 4 having an outlet pipe 3 through which cooling water is discharged, A plurality of tubes 5 for connecting the tank 2 and the discharge tank 4 to form a cooling water flow path and a fin 6 interposed between the tubes 5.

그런데, 상기와 같은 종래의 히터코어는 엔진 냉각 후 가열된 냉각수만을 이용해서 공기를 예열하는 구성으로, 겨울철 냉간 시동시에는 엔진이 예열되기 전까지 시간이 소요됨에 따라 냉각수가 충분히 가열되기까지도 많은 시간이 소요되는 바, 이로 인해 겨울철 냉간 시동시 초기 난방 성능이 나쁜 단점이 있다.However, in the conventional heater core as described above, the air is preheated only by using the cooling water heated after the engine is cooled. In cold start in winter, it takes a long time until the engine is preheated, This is a disadvantage in that the initial heating performance is poor when cold starting in winter.

상기의 단점을 해소하기 위해 전기를 이용해 냉각수를 예열하는 프리히터(pre-heater), 전기를 이용해 히터코어 주변의 공기를 예열하는 PTC(Positiv Temperature Coefficient)히터 등과 같은 보조 장치들이 개발되었으나, 상기와 같은 보조 장치들은 설치공간을 별도로 마련해야 하므로 레이아웃상 불리하고, 가격이 비싸며, 연료사용으로 인해 연비에 불리한 단점이 있다.In order to overcome the disadvantages described above, auxiliary devices such as a pre-heater for preheating the cooling water by using electricity and a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater for preheating the air around the heater core by using electricity have been developed. Such auxiliary devices have disadvantages such as disadvantage in layout, expensive price, and fuel consumption due to the use of fuel because the installation space must be provided separately.

상기의 배경기술로서 설명된 사항들은 본 발명의 배경에 대한 이해 증진을 위한 것일 뿐, 이 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 이미 알려진 종래기술에 해당함을 인정하는 것으로 받아들여져서는 안 될 것이다.
It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.

When a DC current is passed through the tube, the thermoelectric element and the pipe thermoelectric element 80 generate heat and heat As a thermoelectric element, a structure that generates heat absorption and heat radiation by using the above-described thermoelectric element is well-known technology, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

한편, 상기 탱크열전소자(50)는 상기 유입탱크(10)에서 상기 튜브(30)가 결합되는 밑면에 상기 유입탱크(10)의 길이방향을 따라 결합된 구조인 바, 이를 통해 유입탱크(10)의 전체길이 구간에서 유입탱크(10)로 유입된 냉각수를 충분히 예열할 수 있게 된다.The tank thermoelectric element 50 has a structure in which the tube 30 is coupled to the bottom surface of the inflow tank 10 along the longitudinal direction of the inflow tank 10, It is possible to sufficiently preheat the cooling water flowing into the inflow tank 10 in the entire length range of the cooling water.

상기 제어기(60)는 탱크열전소자(50)와 파이프열전소자(80)로 공급되는 전류 및 전류방향을 각각 제어할 수 있는 구성인 바, 이를 통해 상기 제어기(60)는 탱크열전소자(50)와 파이프열전소자(80)의 동작을 필요에 따라 각각 개별적으로 제어할 수 있게 된다.The controller 60 controls the current and the current direction to be supplied to the tank thermoelectric element 50 and the pipe thermoelement 80 so that the controller 60 controls the tank thermoelectric element 50, And the operation of the pipe thermoelectric element 80 can be individually controlled as needed.

본 발명에 따라 상기 히트파이프(70)는 상기 튜브(30)와 교차적으로 배치되게 설치된 구조이고, 상기 파이프열전소자(80)는 상기 히트파이프(70)마다 1개씩 결합되게 설치된 구조이다.According to the present invention, the heat pipe 70 is installed to be disposed alternately with the tube 30, and the pipe thermoelectric elements 80 are connected to the heat pipes 70 one by one.

본 발명은 상기 파이프열전소자(80)에서 발생된 열이 짧은 시간내에 상기 히트파이프(70)의 전체 길이에 걸쳐 골고루 전달될 수 있어야 하는 바, 이를 위해 상기 히트파이프(70)는 열전달이 우수한 재질로 형성되는 것이 바람직하다.
In the present invention, the heat generated from the pipe thermoelectric element 80 must be uniformly transmitted over the entire length of the heat pipe 70 within a short time. To this end, the heat pipe 70 is made of a material having excellent heat transfer As shown in Fig.

이하, 본 발명 실시예의 작용에 대해 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

겨울철 냉간 시동시 엔진은 충분히 예열되지 않은 상태이고, 이로 인해 냉각수도 충분히 예열되지 않은 상태이다.During a cold start in winter, the engine is not fully warmed up and the coolant is not fully warmed up.

이때에는 제어기(60)의 제어에 의해 탱크열전소자(50)와 상기 파이프열전소자(80)로 전류가 공급되고 동시에 공급되는 전류의 방향이 제어됨으로써, 상기 탱크열전소자(50)와 상기 파이프열전소자(80)는 발열작용을 하게 된다.At this time, current is supplied to the tank thermoelectric element 50 and the pipe thermoelectric element 80 under the control of the controller 60, and the direction of the current supplied at the same time is controlled, whereby the tank thermoelectric element 50, The element 80 is exothermic.

탱크열전소자(50)의 발열에 의해 유입탱크(10)로 유입된 냉각수는 빠른 시간애에 예열되고, 동시에 파이프열전소자(80)의 발열에 의해 튜브(30)를 흐르는 냉각수도 다시 한번 예열이 된다.The cooling water flowing into the inlet tank 10 due to the heat of the tank thermoelectric element 50 is preheated for a short time and the cooling water flowing through the tube 30 by the heat of the pipe thermoelectric element 80 is once again preheated do.

따라서, 핀(40)을 통과하는 차가운 외부공기는 급속하게 예열된 냉각수의 온도에 의해 가열된 후 블로워의 동작에 의해 실내로 배출되는 바, 이에 따라 겨울철 냉간 시동시에도 빠른 시간내에 차 실내의 공기를 따뜻하게 해줄 수 있게 된다.Therefore, the cold outside air passing through the fin 40 is heated by the temperature of the rapidly preheated cooling water and then discharged to the room by the operation of the blower. Accordingly, even in the cold start of winter, To warm you up.

그리고, 일정시간 경과 후 엔진이 충분히 예열되고 이를 통해 냉각수가 예열된 엔진에 의해서도 충분히 예열될 수 있는 상황이 되면, 제어기(60)는 냉각수 온도를 검출하는 온도센서(90)의 신호를 전달받아서 탱크열전소자(50)와 파이프열전소자(80)로 전류 공급을 차단하게 되며, 이후 냉각수 온도가 다시 하강하는 경우에 탱크열전소자(50)와 파이프열전소자(80)로 전류를 공급하도록 제어하게 된다.The controller 60 receives the signal of the temperature sensor 90 for detecting the temperature of the cooling water, and when the engine 10 is fully preheated after a certain period of time and the cooling water can be sufficiently preheated by the preheated engine, The current supply to the thermoelectric element 50 and the pipe thermoelectric element 80 is cut off and then the current is supplied to the tank thermoelectric element 50 and the pipe thermoelectric element 80 when the cooling water temperature is lowered again .

그리고, 엔진 효율 및 내구성을 높이기 위해 초기 엔진 시동 오프(off)시에는 탱크열전소자(50)에만 전류를 공급하고 파이프열전소자(80)에는 전류 공급을 차단하며, 동시에 냉각수 펌프를 사용해서 엔진 냉각수를 초기에 가열 및 순환시키게 되는 바, 이를 통해 엔진 재시동시 미리 예열되어 있는 냉각수를 통해 엔진의 효율을 높일 수 있게 되고 더 나아가 엔진의 내구성 또한 향상시킬 수 있게 된다.
In order to increase the engine efficiency and durability, when the engine is turned off, the current is supplied only to the tank thermoelectric element 50 and the current is supplied to the pipe thermoelectric element 80. At the same time, So that the efficiency of the engine can be increased through the cooling water that has been preheated in advance when the engine is restarted, and furthermore, the durability of the engine can be further improved.
