Abstract
In a heat exchanger, a bracket is fixed to the side plate only by fastening, after an assembly including a core portion and the side plate is bonded together in a furnace. Therefore, the bracket can be readily fixed to the side plate without using an additional connection member such as a bolt. Accordingly, the core portion can be made relatively larger while it can prevent an outer dimension of the heater core from being enlarged. Further, one of the side plate and the bracket has a protrusion, and the other one of the side plate and the bracket has a hole being engaged with the protrusion. Therefore, the bracket can be further tightly fixed to the side plate without brazing.
Description
- This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-1426 filed on Jan. 8, 2002, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a heat exchanger and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat exchanger is suitably used for a radiator or a condenser of a vehicle. Related Art:
- A heat exchanger of a vehicle, described in JP-P2001-27493A, includes a heat-exchanging core portion, a side plate disposed on an end portion of the core portion for reinforcing the core portion, and attachment brackets fixed to the side plate. In this heat exchanger, after the brackets are temporally fixed to the side plate, the brackets are finally fixed to the side plate by brazing.
- Generally, in order to braze a
core portion 210 and aside plate 230, it is necessary to temporally fix thecore portion 210 and theside plate 230 by using a wire or the like, as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, the attachment positions of the brackets are need to be set at positions without the wire, and are not freely set. On the other hand, when abracket 140 having a width dimension Wb larger than a thickness Dc of thecore portion 210 is finally fixed to theside plate 230 by bonding as shown in FIG. 6, a base for preventing a tilt of the heat exchanger is necessary while the heat exchanger is moved into a furnace. If the heat exchanger is tilted while being transmitted to the furnace, the position of the temporally fixedcore portion 210 or theside plate 230 may be greatly shifted. - The brackets can be tightly fixed to the side plate before the brazing, by using an additional connection member such as a bolt and a rivet. However, in this case, it is necessary to form holes in the side plate, for inserting the additional connection member. Therefore, the size of the side plate becomes larger, and the outer dimension of the heat exchanger also becomes larger.
- In view of the above-described problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a heat exchanger in which an attachment position of a bracket is arbitrarily set in a side plate.
- It is an another object of the present invention to provide a heat exchanger in which the bracket can be fixed to the side plate only by fastening after a bonding between a core portion and the side plate is performed.
- It is a further another object of the present invention to provide a heat exchanger that has a relative large core portion while restricting an outer dimension of the heat exchanger from being increased.
- It is a further another object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method through which the bracket can be readily attached to the side plate only by press-deforming a part of part side plate without using an additional connection member.
- According to the present invention, a heat exchanger includes a core portion having a plurality of tubes in which a first fluid flows to perform heat exchange with a second fluid flowing through the core portion outside the tubes, a side plate disposed on an end portion of the core portion for reinforcing the core portion, and a bracket being fixed to the side plate only by fastening. Because the bracket is fixed to the side plate only by fastening, the attachment of the bracket can be performed after an assembly including the core portion and the side plate is brazed in a furnace. Therefore, the bracket can be fixed to the side plate at an arbitrary position, and the attachment position of the bracket can be arbitrarily set. Further, the bracket is fixed into the side plate only by fastening without using an additional connection member such as a bolt, it is unnecessary to form a hole for the additional connection member in the side plate. Accordingly, it is compared with a case where the bracket is fixed to the side plate by using the connection member, the core portion can be made relatively larger while an outer dimension of the heat exchanger can be restricted.
- Preferably, the side plate extends in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the tubes, and is formed into an approximate U-shape in cross section, to have a bottom wall portion connected to the core portion and two opposite side walls protruding from the bottom wall portion to a side opposite to the core portion. Further, a part of the side walls is plastically deformed by pressing from an outside of the side plate to clip and fasten the bracket between the side walls. Therefore, the bracket can be tightly fastened and fixed to the side plate.
- More preferably, one of the bottom wall portion of the side plate and the bracket has a protrusion, and the other one of the bottom wall portion of the side plate and the bracket has a hole being engaged with the protrusion. Therefore, the bracket can be further tightly fixed to the side plate without using the additional connection member.
- According to a manufacturing method of the present invention, after temporally assembling the side plate to the one end of the core portion to form an assembly, the assembly is bonded integrally in a furnace. Further, a part of the side plate is press-deformed from an outside of the side plate after the bracket is inserted into the side plate, so that the bracket is fastened and fixed to the side plate after the brazing. Therefore, the bracket can be readily attached to the side plate.

- (First Embodiment)
- In the first embodiment, a heat exchanger of the present invention is typically used for a
condenser 100 for a vehicle air conditioner. - As shown in FIG. 1, the
condenser 100 includes acore portion 110 for performing a heat exchange between refrigerant and air, twoheader tanks 120 at both sides of thecore portion 110, and twoside plates 130 for reinforcing thecore portion 110. Thecore portion 110 is composed of a plurality oftubes 111 in which refrigerant flows, and a plurality corrugatedfins 112 each of which is connected to outer surfaces of adjacent twotubes 111 by brazing. Theheader tanks 120 extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of thetubes 111 to communicate with thetubes 111. Theheader tanks 120 are connected to thetubes 111, for distributing the refrigerant into thetubes 111 and for collecting the refrigerant from thetubes 111. On the other hand, theside plates 130 are provided on both the sides of thecore portion 110 to extend in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal direction of thetubes 111. As shown in FIG. 2, each of theside plates 130 is formed from an aluminum plate by pressing into an approximate U-shape in cross section. - In the first embodiment, the
tubes 111, thefins 112, theheader tanks 120 and theside plates 130 are made of the same metal, and are bonded integrally by brazing. - Metal bracket (e.g., two)140, through which the
condenser 100 is assembled to a vehicle, are fixed to theside plate 130 positioned on the upper side of thecore portion 110. On the other hand, bushingrubber members 150, for elastically supporting thecondenser 100 relative to the vehicle, are fixed to theside plate 130 positioned on the lower side of thecore portion 110. - As shown in FIG. 2, the
bracket 140 inserted into theside plate 130 betweenside wall portions 131, and theside wall portions 131 are pressed from an outside by a fastening jig (not shown), so that a part of theside wall portions 131 is plastically deformed to press-contact thebracket 140. Therefore, thebracket 140 is fixed to theside plate 130 by press-deforming, at the part of theside wall portions 131. In the first embodiment, thebracket 140 is fixed to theside plate 130 only by the fastening without using an additional connection member. In the first embodiment, the fastening of thebracket 140 to theside plate 140 is performed, after the brazing of an assembly including thetubes 111, thefins 112, theheader tanks 120 and theside plates 130 is finished. - According to the first embodiment, the
bracket 140 is fixed to theside plate 130 only by press-deforming (fastening), an attachment position of thebracket 140 can be freely set. Because thebracket 140 is fixed to the side plate only by fastening, the fastening of thebracket 140 to theside plate 130 can be performed after the assembly is bonded together by brazing. Accordingly, thebracket 140 can be fixed to theside plate 130 at any position in the longitudinal direction of theside plate 130. - In the first embodiment, when the assembly of the
condenser 100 is transferred to a furnace for brazing, thebrackets 140 are not attached to the assembly yet. Therefore, even when a width dimension of thebracket 140 in an air flow direction of thecore portion 110 is set larger than a thickness of thecore portion 110, a base for preventing a tilt of the assembly of thecondenser 100 is unnecessary, and the heat exchanger can be manufactured in low cost. - In the first embodiment, the
brackets 140 and theside plate 130 can be made of the same metal with the same electrical potential. In this case, it can prevent one of thebrackets 140 and theside plate 130 from being electrically corroded preferentially. Alternatively, when thebracket 140 is made of a metal (e.g., iron) different from the side plate 130 (e.g., aluminum), a coating film can be formed on the surface of thebracket 140 that is more readily corroded in electrical potential as compared with theside plate 130. Therefore, corrosion in thebracket 140 and theside plate 130 can be effectively prevented. - In the first embodiment, the
bracket 140 is directly fixed to theside plate 130 only by fastening of theside plate 130, after the brazing of the assembly of thecondenser 100 is finished. Therefore, it is unnecessary to form an insertion hole in theside plate 130, for inserting an additional connection member such as a bolt and a rivet. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the dimension of thecore portion 110 can be increased by AH, while it can prevent the outer dimension of thecondenser 100 from being increased, as compared with a case where thebracket 140 is fixed to theside plate 130 using a bolt B. Accordingly, the radiating capacity of thecondenser 100 can be increased, while it can prevent the outer dimension of thecondenser 100 from being increased. - (Second Embodiment)
- In the above-described first embodiment, a part of the
side wall portions 131 of theside plate 130 is pressed to thebracket 140 to be deformed, so that thebracket 140 is directly fixed to theside plate 130. However, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a part of abottom portion 132 of theside plate 130 is cut to be protruded from the surface of thebottom portion 132, so that aprotrusion 133 is formed. On the other hand, ahole 141 being engaged with theprotrusion 133 of theside plate 130 is provided in thebracket 140 so that theprotrusion 133 of theside plate 130 is inserted into thehole 141 of thebracket 140. In the second embodiment, while theprotrusion 133 of theside plate 130 is engaged with thehole 141 of thebracket 140, a part of theside wall portions 131 of theside plate 130 is pressed toward inside to fasten thebracket 140. Accordingly, thebracket 140 can be strongly fixed into theside plate 130 without brazing. - When the
protrusion 133 inserted into thehole 141 of thebracket 140 press-contacts thebracket 140, thebracket 140 can be further strongly fixed to theside plate 130. Theprotrusion 133 can be press-fitted into thehole 141 of thebracket 140. - In the second embodiment, the
protrusion 133 is provided in theside plate 130, and thehole 141 is provided in thebracket 140. However, theprotrusion 133 can be provided in thebracket 140, and thehole 141 can be provided in theside plate 130. Even in this case, the same effects can be obtained. - Although the present invention has been fully described in connection with the preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
- For example, in the above-described embodiments, the present invention is typically applied to the condenser. However, the present invention can be applied to the other heat exchanger such as a radiator.
- In the above-described embodiments, the
bracket 140 and theside plate 130 are made of metal. However, thebracket 140 and theside plate 130 can be made of a material having a sufficient corrosion-resistance performance, such as a rubber and a resin. - Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
