Cover structure for core of heat exchanger

Abstract

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 . A cover structure for a core of a heat exchanger, the cover structure comprising:
 an upper cover body;   a lower cover body corresponding in position to and being coupled to the upper cover body, wherein the upper and lower cover bodies define a receiving space together;   a plurality of frames 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, the frames each having a plurality of crosswise extending posts provided therein, and the crosswise extending posts each extending from an edge thereof, wherein the edge of each of the crosswise extending posts adjoins the receiving space, wherein the crosswise extending posts and the frames together define a plurality of slits.   
   
   
       2 . The cover structure for a core of a heat exchanger of  claim 1 , wherein at least a transverse rib is provided between two adjacent ones of the crosswise extending posts. 
   
   
       3 . The cover structure for a core of a heat exchanger of  claim 1 , wherein the frames are operatively provided with at least a partition plate having a first end and a second end so as for the frames to be positioned at the first end and the second end of the partition plate, respectively, the partition plate bending repeatedly to form a plurality of bent portions each having at least a through hole formed therein, wherein at least a pore corresponding in position to the at least a through hole is formed in each of the frames. 
   
   
       4 . The cover structure for a core of a heat exchanger of  claim 3 , wherein the frames and the partition plate are coupled together by adhesive material. 
   
   
       5 . The cover structure for a core of a heat exchanger of  claim 3 , wherein at least a fixing element is penetratingly disposed in the through hole and the pore. 
   
   
       6 . The cover structure of  claim 1 , wherein the frames and the lower cover body are formed integrally with each other. 
   
   
       7 . The cover structure of  claim 1 , wherein the frames and the upper cover body are formed integrally with each other.
