Abstract
A heat exchanger having a core portion in which cooling water is stored and flows; an upper reinforcing plate coupled to the upper end of the core portion, having an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe connected to the core portion, and having a joining portion for fixation; a lower reinforcing plate coupled to the lower end of the core portion; a first support portion which is coupled to one lengthwise side of the lower surface of the lower reinforcing plate and can absorb vibration; and a second support portion which is coupled to the other lengthwise side of the lower surface of the lower reinforcing plate and can absorb vibration, so that the core portion can be firmly coupled to a housing.
Claims16
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a core portion including an inlet tank portion and an outlet tank portion in which spaces in which cooling water is stored and flows are formed and a plurality of tubes each having one end connected to the inlet tank portion and the other end connected to the outlet tank portion to form a flow passage through which the cooling water flows;
- an upper reinforcing plate coupled to an upper end of the core portion, having an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe formed to communicate with the inlet tank portion and the outlet tank portion, respectively, and having coupling portions formed for fixation;
- a lower reinforcing plate coupled to a lower end of the core portion;
- a first support portion coupled to one side of the lower reinforcing plate in a length direction on a lower surface of the lower reinforcing plate and absorbing vibrations;
- and
- a second support portion coupled to the other side of the lower reinforcing plate in the length direction on a lower surface of the lower reinforcing plate and absorbing vibrations,
- wherein the first support portion includes:
- a first bracket coupled to the lower reinforcing plate and a first anti-vibration member fitted onto the first bracket,
- wherein the first anti-vibration member has a plurality of support protrusions protruding from at least one of side surfaces thereof in a width direction or the length direction, and the support protrusions extend along a height direction.
