Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einem Rippen - Flachrohr - Block, bestehend aus Flachrohren mit dazwischen angeordneten Rippen, wobei umgeformte Enden der Flachrohre in gegenüberliegende Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen münden und mit den Längsseiten der umgeformten Enden untereinander sowie mit den Schmalseiten an den Verbindungsrändern der Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen mittels Löten verbunden sind; die Enden der Flachrohre weisen mindestens einen Trennschnitt auf, der die Enden der Flachrohre in zwei Teile aufteilt; mindestens eines der aufgetrennten Teile eines jeden Flachrohres besitzt quer zur Längsrichtung eine Abbiegung, die zu einer Verbindungsfläche zwischen der Längsseite des Flachrohres und der Längsseite des Teils des benachbarten Flachrohres führt; die Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen reichen mit ihren Verbindungsrändern bis über die Abbiegung hinweg,
Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Herstellungsverfahren für den Wärmetauscher.The invention relates to a heat exchanger for motor vehicles with a rib - flat tube block, consisting of flat tubes with ribs arranged therebetween, with deformed ends of the flat tubes leading into opposite collection or deflection boxes and with the longitudinal sides of the deformed ends with one another and with the narrow sides at the connection edges the collection or deflection boxes are connected by means of soldering; the ends of the flat tubes have at least one separating cut, which divides the ends of the flat tubes into two parts; at least one of the separated parts of each flat tube has a bend transversely to the longitudinal direction, which leads to a connecting surface between the longitudinal side of the flat tube and the longitudinal side of the part of the adjacent flat tube; the collection or deflection boxes extend with their connection edges over the turn,
Furthermore, the invention relates to a production method for the heat exchanger.
Der Wärmetauscher und das Verfahren sind Gegenstand der Patentanmeldungen DE 100 19 268.8 und DE 100 60 006.9.
Wird ein solcher Wärmetauscher als Kühlmittel - Kühler verwendet, ist der kleine Durchmesser der Flachrohre relativ gering, oftmals im Bereich von weniger als 2 mm, so daß die durch den Trennschnitt entstandenen zwei Teile, die der Lötverbindung mit den Verbindungsrändern der Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen dienen, ebenfalls sehr kleine Flächen ausbilden, die zu teilweise unbefriedigenden Lötverbindungen führen.
Beispielsweise aus den Fig. 4 und 6 der DE 195 43 986 A1 ist zu erkennen, daß der große Durchmesser der umgeformten Enden der Flachrohre soweit verkleinert ist, daß die Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen deutlich schmaler sind als der Rippen - Flachrohr -Block. Würde der große Durchmesser nicht so stark verkleinert werden, käme es auch dort verstärkt zu Problemen hinsichtlich der Lötverbindung. Ferner würde sich der Abstand zwischen den Flachrohren bzw. die Höhe der dazwischen angeordneten Rippen zwangsläufig weiter verringern, was hinsichtlich der Konstruktionsfreiheit Einschränkungen mit sich bringt.
Mithin entstehen Nachteile, insbesondere wenn in einem bestimmten Anwendungsfall die Netztiefe, bzw. die Tiefe des Rippen - Rohr - Blocks sehr gering sein soll, beispielsweise im Bereich von 20 bis 30 mm, weil dann die Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen so schmal sind, daß sie zu einem unerwünscht hohen Druckverlust im Kühlmittel führen.
Die Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung besteht darin, die vorstehenden Nachteile zu beseitigen oder abzuschwächen.
Erfindungsgemäß ist dazu bei dem Wärmetauscher vorgesehen, daß die Enden der Flachrohre innerhalb ihres Umformungsabschnitts zweifach abgestuft sind, wobei die eine Abstufung mittels eines Stauch - und Aufweitvorganges hergestellt ist, sodass der kleine Durchmesser der Flachrohr erweitert und der grosse Durchmesser der Flachrohr verkleinert wird, und wobei die andere Abstufung durch den Trennschnitt und die Abbiegung mindestens eines der aufgetrennten Teile herstellbar ist.
Das Herstellungsverfahren sieht im Zusammenhang mit dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 5 erfindungsgemäß vor, daß die Enden der Flachrohre vor dem Auftrennen oder in einem Arbeitsgang mit dem Auftrennen einer Stauch - und Aufweitoperation unterzogen werden, wobei der kleine Durchmesser der Flachrohre erweitert und der große Durchmesser der Flachrohre verkleinert wird, und daß der mindestens eine Trennschnitt innerhalb des Umformabschnittes in den Schmalseiten der Enden der Flachrohre angebracht wird.The heat exchanger and the method are the subject of the patent applications DE 100 19 268.8 and DE 100 60 006.9.
If such a heat exchanger is used as a coolant cooler, the small diameter of the flat tubes is relatively small, often in the range of less than 2 mm, so that the two parts resulting from the separating cut, which serve the solder connection with the connection edges of the collecting or deflection boxes , also form very small surfaces, which lead to partially unsatisfactory solder joints.
For example, from FIGS. 4 and 6 of DE 195 43 986 A1 it can be seen that the large diameter of the deformed ends of the flat tubes is reduced to such an extent that the collecting or deflecting boxes are significantly narrower than the ribbed flat-tube block. If the large diameter were not reduced so much, there would also be more problems there with regard to the solder joint. Further, the distance between the flat tubes and the height of the interposed ribs would inevitably continue to reduce, which brings restrictions in terms of design restrictions.
Thus disadvantages arise, in particular if, in a certain application, the depth of the nets or the depth of the finned tube block should be very small, for example in the range from 20 to 30 mm, because then the collecting or Deflection boxes are so narrow that they lead to an undesirably high pressure drop in the coolant.
The object of the present invention is to eliminate or mitigate the above disadvantages.
According to the invention, it is provided in the heat exchanger, that the ends of the flat tubes are doubly graded within its forming section, wherein the gradation is made by means of an upsetting and Aufweitvorganges, so that the small diameter of the flat tube expands and the large diameter of the flat tube is reduced, and wherein the other gradation can be produced by the separating cut and the bending of at least one of the separated parts.
The manufacturing method according to the invention provides, in connection with the preamble of
Die Erfindung führt zu folgenden Vorteilen. Weil die Enden der Flachrohre zunächst umgeformt, dann aufgetrennt und danach mindestens eines der abgetrennten Teile abgebogen wird, kann mit der maßlichen Gestaltung der Abbiegungen der Abstand zwischen den Flachrohren und damit der Auswahlbereich für geeignete Rippen wesentlich erweitert werden.
Außerdem ergeben sich an den Enden der Flachrohre breitere Schmalseiten und damit wird sich die Lötqualität der Schmalseiten mit den Verbindungsrändern der Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen verbessern.
Die Erfindung gewährleistet die Verwendung der Wärmetauscher auch für Kühlmittel - Luft - Kühler, die Flachrohre mit sehr kleinen Abmessungen ihrer kleinen Durchmesser aufweisen, weil auch bei derartigen Wärmetauschern genügend Lötflächen erzeugt werden können. Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung jedoch auch beispielsweise für luftgekühlte Ladeluftkühler mit Vorteilen anwendbar.
Insbesondere wird durch die Erfindung - durch die Kombination von Stauch - und Aufweitoperation mit Trenn - und Abbiegevorgang - erreicht, daß auch Wärmetauscher mit geringer Tiefe des Kühlnetzes also sehr schmale Wärmetauscher Sammel - oder Umlenkkästen aufweisen können, die nicht schmaler sein müssen als die Tiefe des Kühlnetzes. Damit wird der Druckabfall im Kühlmittel nicht so stark ausfallen wie beim Stand der Technik.
Insbesondere ist das deshalb erreicht worden, weil die Aufweitoperation geringer sein kann, d. h. nicht so große Umformgrade aufweist als beim Stand der Technik, was bedeutet, daß nicht so große Einengungen am Übergang des Umformabschnittes zum Flachrohr vorhanden sind. Das führt zu einer deutlichen Verringerung des Druckverlustes.
Weil der Umformgrad geringer sein kann, kann auch die Tiefe des Umformabschnittes und die Länge des Trennschnittes am jeweiligen Ende des Flachrohres vergrößert werden, wodurch die Vielfalt konstruktiver Möglichkeiten wesentlich erweitert wird.
Letztlich ist die Anbringung des Trennschnitts, falls das in einem separaten Arbeitsschritt erfolgen soll, einfacher geworden, weil die Schmalseiten der Flachrohrenden vorher verbreitert wurden.
Weitere Merkmale sind Inhalt der Unteransprüche, auf die hiermit verwiesen wird. Außerdem gehen Merkmale und Wirkungen aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen hervor, die möglicherweise auch als wesentlich angesehen werden müssen. Dazu wird Bezug auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen genommen.

In addition, at the ends of the flat tubes wider narrow sides and thus the soldering quality of the narrow sides will improve with the connection edges of the collecting or deflection boxes.
The invention also ensures the use of the heat exchangers for coolant - air - coolers having flat tubes with very small dimensions of their small diameter, because even with such heat exchangers enough solder surfaces can be generated. Of course, however, the invention is also applicable, for example, for air-cooled charge air cooler with advantages.
In particular, the invention achieves - through the combination of upsetting and expansion operation with separation and bending operation - that even heat exchangers with a shallow depth of the cooling network can thus have very narrow heat exchangers collecting or deflecting boxes, which need not be narrower than the depth of the cooling network. Thus, the pressure drop in the coolant will not be as strong as in the prior art.
In particular, this has been achieved because the Aufweitoperation may be less, that is not as large degrees of deformation than in the prior art, which means that not so large constrictions at the transition of Umformabschnittes are present to the flat tube. This leads to a significant reduction in the pressure loss.
Because the degree of deformation can be lower, the depth of the forming section and the length of the separating cut can be increased at each end of the flat tube, whereby the variety of constructive options is significantly expanded.
Ultimately, the attachment of the separating cut, if this should be done in a separate step, has become easier because the narrow sides of the flat tube ends have been widened before.
