Abstract

A heat exchanger of a heat exchange device includes stacked plate members, each including rectification walls that partition the surface into a lane shape. The rectification walls can include straight-line portions extending along a long side from a first end towards a second end and curved portions. The curve portions include arc-like portions bended from the straight-line portions toward the first long side, and first extending portions extending from the first arc-like portions to the first long side. A curved face being curved towards the first long side can be provided on the curved portions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A heat exchange device comprising:
 a body case having a first intake port and a first discharge port for a first environment, and a second intake port and a second discharge port for a second environment;   a first blast fan for the first environment and a second blast fan for the second environment which are provided in the body case; and   a heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between air of the first environment and air of the second environment in the body case,   wherein the heat exchanger has a structure in which a second synthetic resin-made plate member is stacked on the surface of a first synthetic resin-made plate member with a predetermined gap therebetween, and a third synthetic resin-made plate member is stacked on the surface of the second plate member with a predetermined gap therebetween,   wherein a plurality of first rectification walls that partitions the surface of the first plate member into a lane shape is formed on the surface, confronting the second plate member,   wherein a plurality of second rectification walls that partitions the surface of the second plate member into a lane shape is formed on the surface, confronting the third plate member,   wherein a plurality of third rectification walls that partitions the surface of the third plate member into a lane shape is formed on the surface, opposite to the second plate member,   wherein the first rectification walls of the first plate member include:
 first straight-line portions which extend along a first long side from a first end thereof towards a second end; and 
 first curved portions including first arc-like portions bended from the first straight-line portions toward the first long side, and first extending portions extending from the first arc-like portions to the first long side, 
   wherein the second rectification walls of the second plate member include:
 second straight-line portions which extend along a second long side from a first end thereof towards a second end; and 
 second curved portions including second arc-like portions which are bended from the second straight-line portions toward the second long side, and second extending portions extending from the second arc-like portions to the second long side, 
   wherein a distance between the adjacent first rectification walls in the first extending portions is larger than the distance between the first rectification walls in the first straight-line portions,   wherein a distance between the adjacent second rectification walls in the second extending portions is larger than the distance between the second rectification walls in the second straight-line portions,   wherein a first curved face which is perpendicular to the second straight-line portions of the second rectification walls of the second plate member is provided on the first curved portions of the first plate member being curved towards the first long side, and   wherein a second curved face which is perpendicular to the first straight-line portions of the first rectification walls is provided on the second curved portions of the second plate member being curved towards the second long side.   
     
     
         2 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first curved face is formed by processing the first plate member itself, and   the second curved face is formed by processing the second plate member itself.   
     
     
         3 . The heat exchange device of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the first curved face is formed by processing the first plate member itself into a protruding circular-arc shape, and   wherein the second curved face is formed by processing the second plate member itself into a gently protruding circular-arc shape.   
     
     
         4 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein first sealing protrusions are provided in sections of the first curved portions of the first rectification walls of the first plate member, which sections are perpendicular to the second straight-line portions of the second rectification walls, so as to protrude into first recessed portions on the first plate member, and   wherein second sealing protrusions are provided in sections of the second straight-line portions of the second rectification walls of the second plate member, which sections are perpendicular to third curved portions of the third rectification walls of the third plate member adjacent to the second straight-line portions, so as to protrude into second recessed portions on the second plate member.   
     
     
         5 . The heat exchange device of  claim 4 ,
 wherein the first sealing protrusions have such a shape that a diameter thereof decreases as each one of the protrusions extends from the first plate member towards the second plate member,   wherein the second sealing protrusions have such a shape that a diameter thereof decreases as each one of the protrusions extends from the second plate member towards the third plate member,   wherein the first recessed portions on the first plate member have such a shape that a diameter on the side of the first plate member is larger than that on the side of the second plate member, and   wherein the second recessed portions on the side of the second plate member have such a shape that a diameter on the side of the second plate member is larger than that on the side of the third plate member.   
     
     
         6 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein both sides of the second rectification walls of the second plate member coming in close contact with the first rectification walls of the first plate member have such a shape that both the sides are depressed towards the first plate member, and   wherein both sides of the third rectification walls of the third plate member coming in close contact with the second rectification walls of the second plate member have such a shape that both the sides are depressed towards the second plate member.   
     
     
         7 . A device for accommodating a heat generation body, comprising:
 a cabinet for accommodating a heat generation body; and   the heat exchange device of  claim 1  mounted to an opening of the cabinet.   
     
     
         8 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first curved face is unitary with the first plate member, and   the second curved face is unitary with the second plate member.   
     
     
         9 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein first protrusions are provided on parts of the first rectification walls of the first plate member so as to protrude into first recessed portions which are formed on the second rectification walls, and   wherein second protrusions are provided on parts of the second rectification walls of the second plate member so as to protrude into second recessed portions which are formed on the third rectification walls.   
     
     
         10 . The heat exchange device of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the first protrusions protrude into the first recessed portions on the first plate member so as to make contact with inner top faces thereof, and   wherein the second protrusions protrude into the second recessed portions on the second plate member so as to make contact with the inner top faces thereof.   
     
     
         11 . The heat exchange device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein first protrusions are provided in sections of the first rectification walls of the first plate member where the first curved face is not formed, and   wherein second protrusions are provided in sections of the second rectification walls of the second plate member where the second curved face is not formed.
