Abstract

A heat exchanger according to the present invention includes plates each having, at one side thereof, an inlet port into which a fluid is introduced, and a first junction port having a periphery protruding upward, and having, at the other side thereof, an outlet port from which the fluid is discharged, and a second junction port having a periphery protruding upward, and a heat dissipation fin seated on an upper surface of the plate and having at least one non-heat dissipation fin portion formed by cutting a predetermined region of the heat dissipation fin in a direction parallel to a direction from one side to the other of the plate, in which the heat dissipation fin may be inserted between the pair of stacked plates.

Claims (57)

1 . A heat exchanger comprising:

plates each having an inlet port into which a fluid is introduced, and an outlet port from which the fluid is discharged; and

a heat dissipation fin inserted between a pair of the plates,

wherein the inlet port and the outlet port are formed at one side based on a width direction of the plates and spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the heat dissipation fin comprises a non-heat dissipation fin portion formed at another side based on the width direction of the plates,

wherein a heat exchanger core is formed by stacking the plates,

wherein the plates comprise:

a first junction port having a periphery protruding upward; and

a second junction port having a periphery protruding upward,

wherein the first junction port and the second junction port are formed at the another side based on the width direction of the plates and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed within a maximum distance range between an outer diameter of the first junction port and an outer diameter of the second junction port and positioned at an edge of the heat dissipation fin, and

wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, a cut width of a central portion is larger than a cut width of a cut start point and a cut width of a cut end point.

2 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed by cutting a part of the heat dissipation fin.

3 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation fin has holes formed to correspond to the inlet port, the outlet port, the first junction port, and the second junction port and is seated on an upper surface of the plates.

4 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed to include a point farthest in distance from both the inlet port and the outlet port.

5 . The heat exchanger of claim 4 , wherein a cut start point of the non-heat dissipation fin portion is positioned at a point corresponding to an outer diameter range of the first junction port, and said outer diameter range is based on a direction parallel to a direction from one side to the another side of the plates.

6 . The heat exchanger of claim 5 , wherein a cut end point of the non-heat dissipation fin portion is positioned at a point corresponding to an outer diameter range of the second junction port, and said outer diameter range is based on a direction parallel to the direction from one side to the another side of the plates.

7 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion has a width of 1 to 1.5 mm in a direction from an edge to an inside of the heat dissipation fin.

8 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, a cut width of a cut start point and a cut width of a cut end point are different from each other.

9 . The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, the cut width increases in a direction from the cut start point to the cut end point.

10 . The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, the cut width decreases in a direction from the cut start point to the cut end point.

11 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein a coolant flows through the heat exchanger core, and

wherein the heat exchanger further comprises:

a receiver dryer; and

a connector configured to connect the heat exchanger core and the receiver dryer.

12 . A heat exchanger comprising:

plates each having an inlet port into which a fluid is introduced, and an outlet port from which the fluid is discharged; and

a heat dissipation fin inserted between a pair of the plates,

wherein the inlet port and the outlet port are formed at one side based on a width direction of the plates and spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the heat dissipation fin comprises a non-heat dissipation fin portion formed at another side based on the width direction of the plates,

wherein a heat exchanger core is formed by stacking the plates,

wherein the plates comprise:

a first junction port having a periphery protruding upward; and

a second junction port having a periphery protruding upward,

wherein the first junction port and the second junction port are formed at the another side based on the width direction of the plates and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed within a maximum distance range between an outer diameter of the first junction port and an outer diameter of the second junction port and positioned at an edge of the heat dissipation fin,

wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, a cut width of a cut start point and a cut width of a cut end point are different from each other, and

wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, the cut width increases in a direction from the cut start point to the cut end point.

13 . The heat exchanger of claim 12 , wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed by cutting a part of the heat dissipation fin.

14 . The heat exchanger of claim 12 , wherein the heat dissipation fin has holes formed to correspond to the inlet port, the outlet port, the first junction port, and the second junction port and is seated on an upper surface of the plates.

15 . The heat exchanger of claim 12 , wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed to include a point farthest in distance from both the inlet port and the outlet port.

16 . A heat exchanger comprising:

plates each having an inlet port into which a fluid is introduced, and an outlet port from which the fluid is discharged; and

a heat dissipation fin inserted between a pair of the plates,

wherein the inlet port and the outlet port are formed at the another side based on a width direction of the plates and spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the heat dissipation fin comprises a non-heat dissipation fin portion formed at another side based on the width direction of the plates,

wherein a heat exchanger core is formed by stacking the plates,

wherein the plates comprise:

a first junction port having a periphery protruding upward; and

a second junction port having a periphery protruding upward,

wherein the first junction port and the second junction port are formed at one side based on the width direction of the plate and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the plates,

wherein the non-heat dissipation fin portion is formed within a maximum distance range between an outer diameter of the first junction port and an outer diameter of the second junction port and positioned at an edge of the heat dissipation fin,

wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, a cut width of a cut start point and a cut width of a cut end point are different from each other, and

wherein in the non-heat dissipation fin portion, the cut width decreases in a direction from the cut start point to the cut end point.
