Detailed Description
The minimum curved surface is a curved surface with all zero average curvatures on each point, and when the minimum curved surface shows a periodic rule in three mutually independent directions, the minimum curved surface is called a three-period minimum curved surface. Common TPMS topological structures are Schwarz Primitive (TPMS-P), schwarz Diamond (TPMS-D), schoen Gyroid (TPMS-G) and Schoen I-WP (TPMS-I-WP). The TPMS structure has the excellent characteristics of high surface area-volume ratio, high strength, high rigidity, full connectivity and the like. Wherein high surface volume ratio and full connectivity are favorable to the heat dissipation of structure, and high strength and rigidity can guarantee that the structure possesses good mechanical properties. Based on the above advantages, the applicant applied the TPMS structure to the heat exchanger. However, the TPMS structure is a periodic array structure (the relative density of each region of the whole structure is the same), the lattice structure and the size are the same in all the regions, and the heat exchange conditions of each region are different in the practical application process, so the applicant aims to develop a heat exchange structure based on a variable-period minimum curved surface by using the excellent characteristics of the three-period minimum curved surface, and adopts a heat exchange core structure based on a variable-period minimum curved surface optimized by CFD iteration.
In addition, in order to meet the use requirement of the heat exchanger, a novel material (structure) is developed, and the novel material can simultaneously meet the requirements of good strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance under high-temperature and low-temperature conditions. In particular, ceramics (such as silicon nitride) generally have high corrosion resistance and service temperature, but the strength and toughness of the ceramics are not high, and the cyclic thermal stress caused by hot and cold end media can cause the cracking and the damage of the ceramics. Metal materials (such as titanium alloys) generally have excellent strength and toughness, but the usable temperature is generally low, and the requirements of the high-performance heat exchanger on the materials under the service load are difficult to meet. Therefore, the wall surface contacting with the fluid medium is made of ceramics with high corrosion resistance and working temperature, and the middle of the two side wall surfaces is made of metal material with excellent strength and toughness, so that the requirements on the use temperature and the corrosion resistance can be met, and the high-toughness steel plate has good toughness. However, due to the large difference between the mechanical properties (including strength and modulus) and the thermal expansion coefficients of metals and ceramics, the metal-ceramic interface joint is prone to inconsistent and discontinuous strain transmission of thermal expansion strains, which can lead to crack failure along the interface. Therefore, a novel interface gradual change composite structure is developed, and particularly, a novel material and a treatment process are also related, so that gradient transition of the tissue and the mechanical property at the interface is realized, the stress concentration at the interface can be effectively relieved, and the metal-ceramic multifunctional gradient material with excellent performance is prepared. In addition, the part with the complex space curved surface and the interface gradual change structure is completed by adopting an additive manufacturing technology. The present invention has been completed on the basis of the above description, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "disposed/sleeved," "connected," and the like are to be construed broadly, e.g., "connected," which may be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
The "sectional area" in the present invention means an area of a cross section perpendicular to a direction along which a hot (or cold) fluid flow path extends.
The invention provides a heat exchange structure based on a variable-period minimum curved surface, which comprises a cold fluid flow channel and a hot fluid flow channel which are mutually isolated, wherein the cold fluid flow channel and the hot fluid flow channel are mutually staggered in a three-dimensional space but are not mutually communicated, so that the heat exchange area is increased, and the heat exchange is strengthened.
The internal structures of the cold fluid flow channel and the hot fluid flow channel are variable-period minimum curved surface structures. The variable-period minimum curved surface structure body is characterized in that the internal structures of the cold fluid flow channel and the hot fluid flow channel are gradually changed, and the variable-period minimum curved surface structure body is characterized in that: 1) The inlet of the cold fluid flow passage (or hot fluid flow passage) and the outlet of the cold fluid flow passage (or hot fluid flow passage) have different curvatures. And/or, 2) the cross-sectional area of the inlet to the outlet is gradually changed for the same fluid flow channel. And/or, 3) the wall thickness of the flow channel of the minimum curved surface structure in the heat exchanger is gradually changed, and the change condition can be obtained by introducing pressure data into design software according to the calculation result of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and thickening the wall surface of a part with high pressure. If the heat exchange carrier in the heat exchange structure adopts gas, the absolute pressure of the gas will rise, and if a certain degree is reached, the gas flow blocking phenomenon may be generated, so that the gas flow circulation is not smooth, the flow velocity is reduced, the heat exchange efficiency is reduced, the pressure loss is increased, and the heat exchange structure is constructed according to the gas flowing state, so that the problems can be avoided. The mechanical properties of the TPMS structure are also highly related to the lattice structure and size and wall thickness, and in the air cooler, the load applied to each region is not necessarily the same, so the lattice structure and size and wall thickness of each region are constructed according to the different load applied to each region.
A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for constructing a heat exchange structure based on a minimum variable-period curved surface, which can be applied to design the heat exchange structure according to the above embodiment, and the method comprises the following steps: 1) Obtaining an initial heat exchange model (the initial model comprises a minimum periodic structure of a fluid region, an initial wall thickness and an initial runner section size) by adopting modeling software; 2) And (3) introducing the initial heat exchange model into fluid technical software, and performing initial calculation according to working conditions: acquiring fluid state data of each position of an application area of the heat exchange structure, wherein the fluid state data at least comprises pressure, temperature, speed and mass flow; 3) Adjusting wall surfaces of all parts of the heat exchange structure according to the pressure required to be born by different areas so as to ensure the uniformity of stress of all parts; 4) Adjusting the cross sectional area of each part of the heat exchange structure according to the pressure, the temperature, the speed and the mass flow; 5) And repeating the steps 2), 3) and 4) to construct a heat exchange structure based on the minimum variable-period curved surface.
The more specific steps include: 1) Determining the basic size of the part outline and the flow direction according to the technical standard; 2) Setting the thickness of the initial wall surface in parametric modeling software (such as ntology); determining a fluid region filling period minimum camber structure (the lattice structure of the minimum camber is selected from one of Gyroid, schwarz, splitp, lidinoid, I-WP, scherk's, skeletal and Neovius); the minimum curved surface structure and the shell form an integral structure to divide a cold fluid domain (cold fluid runner) and a hot fluid domain (hot fluid runner) to obtain an initial heat exchange model; 3) Introducing the initial heat exchange model into fluid calculation software (such as fluent), and performing initial calculation according to given working conditions to obtain fluid state data applied to the heat exchange part, wherein the fluid state data at least comprises pressure, temperature, speed, mass flow and the like; 4) And (2) introducing the fluid state data into a parametric modeling software (such as orthopology), and thickening the wall surface with larger pressure by taking the pressure borne by the wall surface as a reference, wherein the thickening direction is that the two sides of a cold and hot fluid domain are uniformly thickened, so that the stress at each part of the wall surface is basically the same. 5) According to the pressure, the temperature, the speed and the mass flow, the size of the cross sectional area of each part of the heat exchange structure is adjusted, namely the cross sectional area of each part is adjusted according to the actual parameters of the working condition. For example: assuming that the fluid is gas, step 5) is to control the flow rate of the fluid as much as possible, based on the data of the introduced pressure, temperature, speed, mass flow and the like, and without changing the static pressure at each position, as can be seen from the gas state equation V = nRT/P, when the temperature T increases, the volume V of the fluid increases, which is embodied in that the flow rate of the gas increases and the increase in speed generates a larger pressure loss, assuming that the cross-sectional area does not change. The required change in the cross-sectional area of the cold fluid zone can be determined by heating the fluid from the inlet to the outlet of the cold fluid zone and determining the rate of change in the temperature in the direction of flow as the rate of increase in the cross-sectional area of the cold fluid in the direction of flow. The change of the heat flow area in the flow direction can be obtained in the same way. Based on the cross-sectional variation obtained above, the wall surface in step 4) is appropriately offset, and a variable cross-sectional structure can be obtained. 6) Repeating the steps 3), 4) and 5) on the obtained structure and the cold and hot fluid domain, and obtaining the final geometric structure when parameters such as pressure loss, heat exchange coefficient and the like meet the requirements.
A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, where the program is executed by a processor of a computer to implement the above construction method for a heat exchange structure based on a minimum curved surface with variable period.
The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a heat exchanger, which can adopt the heat exchange structure based on the minimum variable-period curved surface described in the above embodiment, and the wall thickness of the heat exchanger can be designed as required, and can be selected from 0.2 to 5mm or 0.5 to 2mm.
The invention provides an interface gradual change composite structure, which comprises a first layer and a second layer positioned on one side or two sides of the first layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are made of different materials and are respectively a ceramic layer or a metal layer, and the contact interfaces of the first layer and the second layer are gradually changed. The contact interface gradual transition is, for example: the intermediate ceramic layer is in contact with the metal layer, the components of the contact interface of the intermediate ceramic layer and the metal layer are mutually crossed to form a gradual change structure, generally, the transitional gradual change is obtained in a physical mode, and the intermediate ceramic layer and the metal layer are obtained through physical diffusion of chemical components in a heat treatment process. Specifically, for example, after the heat treatment process, the metal atoms or ions will partially diffuse toward the ceramic layer, and this gradually-changed structure can significantly reduce the interfacial cracking behavior caused by the difference in material properties, enhance the material properties, and prolong the service life of the material.
Specifically, the interface gradual change composite structure at least comprises a ceramic/metal composite material, wherein the structure comprises a ceramic/metal or metal/ceramic unidirectional structure and also comprises a ceramic/metal/ceramic or metal/ceramic/metal symmetrical structure. Specifically, the intermediate ceramic layer is made of silicon nitride ceramic paste, the metal layer is made of metal titanium paste or titanium alloy paste, and the transition layer is made of metal molybdenum paste or molybdenum alloy paste;
the metal titanium or titanium alloy is selected as the metal layer, has good obdurability and higher specific strength, the use temperature can reach more than 600 ℃, and simultaneously has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and the metal titanium or titanium alloy is used as the material of the middle main body structure in the symmetrical structure and as the metal surface material in the unidirectional structure.
Additionally, the composite structure further includes a transition layer positioned between the first layer and the second layer. The contact interfaces of the transition layer and the first layer and/or the transition layer and the second layer are in gradual transition. The transition layer has an important role: for example, when silicon nitride ceramics and metal are used as the first layer and the second layer, the thermal expansion coefficient between the silicon nitride and the metal is greatly different, which causes great discontinuous strain at the interface and reduces the service life of the heat exchanger. For example, there is a large difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of silicon nitride and titanium alloy, which are 3.0 × 10 -6 K and 8.4X 10 -6 the/K can cause larger discontinuous strain at the interface and reduce the service life of the heat exchanger, molybdenum (Mo) is added between silicon nitride and titanium alloy as an intermediate transition layer to prepare Si 3 N 4 -Mo-Ti layered multifunctional gradient material. Because 1) the thermal expansion coefficient of Mo is 4.8X 10 -6 the/K is between the silicon nitride and the titanium alloy, and can effectively relieve the discontinuous strain at the interface caused by the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials; 2) Mo has higher solid solubility in Ti, does not form harmful brittle phases, realizes component gradient at the interface through mutual diffusion of Ti and Mo at the interface, and simultaneously, mo element gradient can influence phase change of Ti alloy (Mo is a beta phase stable element in the titanium alloy) to obtain microstructure gradient at the interface. Both of these factors can significantly reduce the interfacial cracking behavior of ceramics and metals due to differences in properties. In addition, a small amount of nitrogen element is diffused into the Ti-Mo solid solution to induce the Ti-Mo solid solution to generate nano-scale twin crystals and martensite phase in the cyclic heating-cooling process, so that strain self-coordination is generated between the Ti alloy and the silicon carbide, and the interfacial cracking tendency can be further reduced.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first layer is made of a silicon nitride ceramic paste; and/or the second layer is made of metal titanium paste or titanium alloy paste; the transition layer is made of metal molybdenum paste or molybdenum alloy paste; the composite structure is manufactured by compositely printing according to an SLA technology and an MPP technology.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the cross-sectional area (the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the extending direction of the hot (or cold) fluid flow channel) of each position of the cold fluid flow channel 100 is not completely the same, and the cross-sectional area of each position of the hot fluid flow channel 200 is not completely the same, in this embodiment, the square cross-sectional size of the fluid field is 50mm × 50mm, the cross-sectional areas of the inlets of the cold fluid flow channel 100 and the hot fluid flow channel 200 are about 2150 square millimeters, and the cross-sectional areas of the outlets of the cold fluid flow channel 100 and the hot fluid flow channel 200 are about 225 square millimeters.

The construction method of the heat exchange structure based on the variable-period minimum curved surface adopts the CFD iteration technology design and comprises the following steps:
1) The basic dimensions of the external shape of the part are determined according to the given technical criteria, and the present example is illustrated with a rectangular parallelepiped fluid field of 100mm x 50mm, where 100mm is the direction of flow and 50mm x 50mm is the cross section. 2) In parameterized modeling software ntology, a periodic minimum curved surface structure with the initial wall thickness of 0.8mm and the filling size of a fluid area of 10mm is set; the integral structure formed by the minimum curved surface structure and the shell divides the fluid domain into a cold fluid domain and a hot fluid domain to obtain an initial heat exchange model. 3) Introducing the initial heat exchange model into fluid calculation software, such as fluent, and performing initial calculation according to a given working condition to obtain fluid state data (taking gas as a heat exchange medium for example) of each position of a heat exchange structure application area, wherein the gas state data at least comprises pressure, temperature, speed, mass flow and the like; 4) And (3) importing the gas state data into the ntology software, and thickening the wall surface with larger pressure by taking the pressure borne by the wall surface as a reference, wherein the thickening direction is that the two sides of the cold and hot fluid area are uniformly thickened, and finally, the stress of each part of the wall surface is basically the same. 5) From the data of the pressure, temperature, speed, mass flow rate, etc. introduced, it is known from the gas state equation V = nRT/P that the fluid volume V will increase when the temperature T increases, in particular, assuming that the cross-sectional area is constant, the flow speed of the gas will increase, and the increase in speed will generate a greater pressure loss, so it is necessary to control the flow speed of the fluid as much as possible. The required change in the cross-sectional area of the cold fluid zone can be determined by heating the fluid from the inlet to the outlet of the cold fluid zone and determining the rate of change in the temperature in the direction of flow as the rate of increase in the cross-sectional area of the cold fluid in the direction of flow. The change of the heat flow area in the flow direction can be obtained in the same way.
