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.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
