Cover structure for core of heat exchanger
A cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger is provided. The core of a heat exchanger includes a partition plate and a cover. The cover includes a plurality of frames, an upper cover body, and a lower cover body. The upper cover body and the lower cover body join and together define a receiving space for receiving the frames. The frames are disposed on two sides of one of the upper cover body and the lower cover body, allowing the receiving space to be formed between the frames. Each of the frames has a plurality of crosswise extending posts provided therein. Each of the crosswise extending posts extends from an edge thereof, wherein the edge of each of the crosswise extending posts adjoins the receiving space. The crosswise extending posts and the frames together define a plurality of slits. The crosswise extending posts of the frames are coupled to the partition plate directly. The frames and the partition plate are fixed in position within the cover, thereby saving raw materials and reducing the required amount of adhesive material used.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cover structures for the core of a heat exchanger, and more particularly, to a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger, which saves a raw material and reduces use of an adhesive material.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Telecommunications service providers nowadays have to use telecommunications cabinets for signal processing and circuit distribution, whether signal transmission is wired or wireless. Telecommunications cabinets are installed outdoors or indoors as needed, accommodating sophisticated circuits and electronic components. Every telecommunications cabinet is airtight in order to shut out moisture that might otherwise damage the circuits and electronic components therein and even cause a short circuit. A drawback of existing airtight telecommunications cabinets is that they prevent heat generated by electronic components in operation from dissipating. To solve the problem of heat dissipation, telecommunications service providers used to provide telecommunications cabinets with inbuilt heat exchangers for removing heat from the telecommunications cabinets.
Referring to
1. it requires plenty of adhesive material for gluing parts.
2. it is time-consuming.
In view of the drawbacks, the inventor of the present invention collected related data, conducted comprehensive evaluation, gave blanket consideration, followed his years of experience in the art, performed trial runs and made correction repeatedly, and eventually devised a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger as claimed herein.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger, so as to reduce use of an adhesive material.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger, so as to save a raw material.
To achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger. The core of a heat exchanger comprises a partition plate and a cover. The cover comprises a plurality of frames, an upper cover body, and a lower cover body. The upper cover body and the lower cover body join and together define a receiving space for receiving the frames. The frames are disposed on two sides of one of the upper cover body and the lower cover body, allowing the receiving space to be formed between the frames. Each of the frames has a plurality of crosswise extending posts provided therein. Each of the crosswise extending posts extends from an edge thereof, wherein the edge -of each of the crosswise extending posts adjoins the receiving space. The crosswise extending posts and the frames together define a plurality of slits. The crosswise extending posts of the frames are coupled to the partition plate directly. The frames and the partition plate are fixed in position within the cover, thereby saving raw materials and reducing the required amount of adhesive material used. Hence, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. cost-saving,
2. material-saving,
3. greatly reducing the required amount of adhesive material used, and
4. time-saving.
Technical means and structures proposed in the present invention with a view to achieving the aforesaid objectives and effects of the present invention will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description of the features and functions of the preferred embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a cover structure for the core of a heat exchanger. Referring to
