  • Patent number: 11397053
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core, an intake tank, and a flow limiting portion. The heat exchanger core includes a stacked heat exchange portion, a distribution portion, and a collection portion. The stacked heat exchange portion defines first fluid flow paths through which a first fluid flows in a first direction, and second fluid flow paths through which a second fluid flows in a third direction. The distribution portion is configured to distribute the first fluid to the first fluid flow paths. The collection portion is configured to collect the first fluid from the first fluid flow paths. The flow limiting portion is configured to suppress an inflow of the second fluid from the intake tank into the distribution portion and the collection portion. The flow limiting portion and the intake tank are provided as a single component.

  • Patent number: 11179896
    Abstract: A bonded body is formed of a first member and a second member. The first member has a first base portion and a first welded portion which protrudes from the first base portion toward the second member side. The second member has a second base portion and a second welded portion which protrudes from the second base portion toward the first member side. In a first region of the joint portion, a first rib formed so as to project from the first base portion toward the second member side covers the first welded portion and the second welded portion from the side. In a second region different from the first region, a second rib formed so as to project from the second base portion toward the first member side covers the first welded portion and the second welded portion from the side.

  • Publication number: 20210270548
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plate member, a fixation member, and a brazing material pathway. The plate member has a first side coated with a brazing material, and a second side which is an opposite side of the first side and is not coated with the brazing material. The fixation member is disposed on the second side and configured to fix a position of a pipe. The brazing material pathway extends from the first side to the second side. The brazing material coated on the plate member spreads into the brazing material pathway. The pipe is inserted into an insertion hole formed in the plate member. An entire outer circumference of the pipe is swaged and engaged with an inner side of the insertion hole. The brazing material pathway is formed on at least the outer circumference of the pipe or the inner side of the insertion hole.

  • Publication number: 20200165964
    Abstract: An air cooling device includes a first inlet surge tank, a first heat exchanger to cool air introduced from the first surge tank, a second inlet surge tank, a second heat exchanger to cool air introduced from the second surge tank, and an outlet surge tank. The outlet surge tank receives both of airs introduced from the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and the airs flows from the outlet surge tank toward an internal combustion engine. The outlet surge tank includes a merging space and a fixing hole. The merging space is where the airs introduced from the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger merge with each other. A fastening member to fasten the outlet surge tank passes through the fixing hole from an outer surface of the outlet surge tank away from the merging space toward the internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20190375164
    Abstract: A bonded body formed by a vibration welding of a first member and a second member. The first member includes a first base portion extending along an edge on the second member side, and a first welded portion which protrudes from the first base portion toward the second member. The second member includes a second base portion extending along an edge on the first member side and disposed to face the first base portion, and a second welded portion protruding from the second base portion toward the first member side, and a distal end of which is vibration welded to the distal end of the first welded portion. The first member has a rib for covering the first welded portion and the second welded portion from the side, and the rib is formed so as to protrude from the first base portion toward the second member side at a position separated from the first welded portion.

  • Patent number: 10099320
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy brazing sheet having high corrosion resistance is provided, which develops the sacrificial anticorrosion effect in both surfaces of the sheet, which has the brazing function in one of both the surfaces, and which prevents the occurrence of preferential corrosion. A channel forming component for a vehicular heat exchanger is also provided by utilizing the aluminum alloy brazing sheet. An aluminum alloy brazing sheet having high corrosion resistance includes an aluminum alloy core, a filler material clad on one surface of the core, and a sacrificial anode material clad on the other surface of the core, wherein the filler material, the sacrificial anode material, and the core have respective predetermined alloy compositions. A channel forming component for a vehicular heat exchanger is manufactured using the aluminum alloy brazing sheet having high corrosion resistance.
