Abstract
The present invention relates to a connector provided between a condenser and a receiver driver and configured to fixedly couple the condenser and the receiver driver, and a vehicle heat exchanger including the same, and more particularly, to a connector capable of improving weldability between the receiver dryer side and the connector by means of a pipe-shaped clad plate or a ring-shaped clad seating member, and a vehicle heat exchanger including the same.
Claims5
A connector, which is provided between a condenser and a receiver dryer, the connector comprising:
- a body including one surface facing the condenser, and the other surface facing the receiver dryer;
- a first protruding portion protruding outward from one surface of the body so as to be inserted into a coupling hole of the condenser;
- and
- a second protruding portion protruding outward from the other surface of the body so as to be inserted into a coupling hole of the receiver dryer,
- wherein the second protruding portion is made of a clad material,
- wherein the second protruding portion is formed by inserting a clad plate having a pipe shape into the other surface of the body,
- wherein an insertion groove, which is recessed toward the inside of the body, is formed in a central portion of the other surface of the body, and one side of the clad plate is inserted into the insertion groove and fitted with the insertion groove,
- wherein the first protruding portion is integrated with the body, and the first protruding portion is made of the same material as the body, and
- wherein the condenser comprises a core part formed by stacking a plurality of flat plates, and one surface of the body is formed to be flat so as to be joined to an outer surface of the core part, wherein the other surface of the body is recessed while corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of the receiver dryer so as to be seated on the outer peripheral surface of the receiver dryer.
