Abstract

A heat exchanger including a first header and a second header; flat tubes, each having two ends connected to the first header and the second header respectively; a fin arranged between adjacent flat tubes; an input-output pipe welded to at least one header of the first header and the second header; and a water guide member disposed to the input-output pipe and/or the at least one header.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat exchanger, comprising:
a first header and a second header;
flat tubes, each having two ends connected to the first header and the second header respectively;
a fin arranged between adjacent flat tubes;
an input-output pipe welded to at least one header of the first header and the second header; and
a first water guiding member mounted to the at least one header and located above a welding position, where the input-output pipe and the at least one header are welded, along an axial direction of the at least one header.

2. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first water guiding member is arranged adjacent to the welding position where the input-output pipe and the at least one header are welded.

3. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a second water guiding member mounted to the input-output pipe.

4. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the second water guiding member is a water guiding disc fitted over the input-output pipe.

5. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the water guiding disc has a notch, which allows the water guiding disc to be fitted over the input-output pipe and extends along a radial direction of the water guiding disc.

6. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 4 , wherein a lower edge of the water guiding disc is provided with a water leading bar extending downwards from the water guiding disc.

7. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the input-output pipe comprises an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are simultaneously welded to one of the first header and the second header or are respectively welded to the first header and the second header, and the second water guiding member is mounted to at least one of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.

8. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first water guiding member is a water guiding disc fitted over the at least one header.

9. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the water guiding disc has a notch, which allows the water guiding disc to be fitted over the at least one header and extends along a radial direction of the water guiding disc.

10. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 8 , wherein an edge of the water guiding disc is provided with a water discharge port.

11. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 10 , wherein the water guiding disc is provided with a water leading bar extending downwards from the water discharge port.

12. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the input-output pipe comprises an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe,
the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are simultaneously welded to one header of the first header and the second header, and the first water guiding member is provided to the one header above at least one welding position of a welding position where the inlet pipe and the one header are welded and another welding position where the outlet pipe and the one header are welded; or
the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the first header and the second header respectively, and the first water guiding member is provided to at least one of the first header and the second header.

13. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the input-output pipe comprises an inlet pipe welded with the first header and an outlet pipe welded with the second header, each of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe is provided with a second water guiding member, and each of the first header and the second header is provided with the first water guiding member.

14. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the first water guiding member of the first header is connected with the second water guiding member of the inlet pipe by a water leading plate, and the first water guiding member of the second header is connected with the second water guiding member of the outlet pipe by another water leading plate.

15. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the input-output pipe comprises an inlet pipe welded with the first header and an outlet pipe welded with the first header, each of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe is provided with a second water guiding member, and the first header is provided with the first water guiding member.

16. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the first header is provided with two first water guiding members, one of the two first water guiding members of the first header is connected with the second water guiding member of the inlet pipe by a water leading plate, and the other one of the two first water guiding members of the first header is connected with the second water guiding member of the outlet pipe by another water leading plate.

17. The heat exchanger as set forth in claim 13 , wherein each of the first water guiding member and the second water guiding member is a water guiding disc, and the water guiding disc has a central mounting hole, and a notch in communication with the central mounting hole and extending along a radial direction of the water guiding disc.

18. A heat exchanger, comprising:
a first header and a second header;
flat tubes, each having two ends connected to the first header and the second header respectively;
a fin arranged between adjacent flat tubes;
an input-output pipe welded to at least one header of the first header and the second header; and
a water guiding member mounted to the input-output pipe and/or the at least one header,
wherein the water guiding member is configured as a water retaining block, an upper surface of the water retaining block is provided with a groove configured to be fitted with the input-output pipe, and in a cross section of the input-output pipe, at least a lower half of the input-output pipe is fitted in the groove.

19. The heat exchanger according to claim 18 , further comprising:
a bracket connected with the at least one header; and
an elastic member arranged on the bracket, the water retaining block being configured as a flexible block and arranged on the elastic member.

20. A heat exchanger, comprising:
a first header and a second header;
flat tubes, each having two ends connected to the first header and the second header respectively;
a fin arranged between adjacent flat tubes;
an input-output pipe welded to at least one header of the first header and the second header; and
a water guiding member mounted to the input-output pipe and spaced apart from a welding position where the input-output pipe and the at least one header are welded.
