Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive radiator technology, and in particular to a radiator connection mechanism with buffer and shock absorption. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional radiators typically connect the core to the left and right outer panels using nuts and bolts or welding. Such rigid connections are prone to damage under complex road conditions, including the radiator's hot and cold cycles, vehicle bumps and vibrations, and torsion. This leads to a high risk of coolant leakage, and a very high percentage of vehicles malfunction due to radiator failure.
[0003] In view of this, the present invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a radiator connection mechanism with buffer and shock absorption to solve the technical problem of coolant leakage caused by the rigid connection between the core of the automotive radiator and the left and right outer side plates in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a radiator connection mechanism with buffer and shock absorption, including a connection component disposed on the radiator core assembly;
[0006] The connecting component includes an assembly column, which has a through hole at its center, and a keyway for locking is formed on the inner wall of the through hole along its length.
[0007] Both ends of the through hole are equipped with detachable rubber shock-absorbing pads. The rubber shock-absorbing pads are cylindrical and have a mating hole in the center. The outer peripheral wall of the rubber shock-absorbing pads is provided with a locking protrusion along its length direction, which mates with the locking keyway. The locking protrusion and the locking keyway are detachably connected.
[0008] A removable bushing is provided inside the mating hole, and a connecting hole is provided in the center of the bushing along its length. The same removable positioning component is provided in the two connecting holes.
[0009] Furthermore, two tapered grooves are provided on the inner wall of the through hole on the side opposite to the keyway, and the tapered grooves are set along the length of the through hole;
[0010] The outer peripheral wall of the rubber shock-absorbing pad has a tapered protrusion on the side opposite to the locking key, which matches the tapered groove. The tapered protrusion can be slidably set in the tapered groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the radiator core assembly has water chambers at both the top and bottom, and the left and right sides of the radiator core assembly have detachable left side plate assemblies and right side plate assemblies respectively. Connecting components are fixedly installed at both ends of the water chambers, and the top and bottom ends of the left side plate assembly and the top and bottom ends of the right side plate assembly are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting components.
[0012] Furthermore, the positioning element includes bolts that are detachably disposed within the two connection holes;
[0013] Both the left and right side panel assemblies have positioning holes at their top and bottom ends;
[0014] The bolts pass through the corresponding positioning holes on the left or right side panel assembly, respectively.
[0015] Spring washers and nuts are installed at both ends of the bolt.
[0016] Furthermore, the assembly column is welded onto the water chamber.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] By installing connecting components on the radiator core assembly, the rubber shock-absorbing pads on the connecting components reduce the mechanical and thermal stresses generated on the radiator core assembly when the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads or during hot and cold cycles. This protects the radiator core assembly, reduces the stress on the radiator core, and prevents cracking and leakage. It also protects the radiator from failure caused by the vehicle traveling on bumpy roads and during hot and cold cycles, thereby reducing the risk of heat and cold cycles, bumps, twisting, and deformation being transmitted to the radiator core assembly and preventing coolant leakage.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a radiator connection mechanism with buffer and shock absorption, including a connection component disposed on the radiator core assembly 6. The connection component includes an assembly column 5, which has a through hole at its center. A keyway is provided on the inner wall of the through hole along its length. A detachable rubber shock-absorbing pad 3 is provided at both ends of the through hole. The rubber shock-absorbing pad 3 is a cylindrical structure with a mating hole at its center. A locking protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 3 along its length to mate with the keyway. The locking protrusion and the keyway are detachably connected. A detachable bushing 2 is provided in the mating hole. A connecting hole is provided in the center of the bushing 2 along its length. The same detachable positioning element 4 is provided in both connecting holes. The bushing 2 strengthens the rubber shock-absorbing pad 3.
[0028] In the above solution, by setting a connecting component on the radiator core assembly 6, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 3 on the connecting component reduces the mechanical and thermal stresses generated on the radiator core assembly 6 when the vehicle is on bumpy roads and during hot and cold cycles, thus protecting the radiator core assembly 6, reducing the stress on the radiator core assembly 6, and preventing cracking and water leakage. This protects the radiator from failure caused by the vehicle driving on bumpy roads and during hot and cold cycles, thereby reducing the risk of heat and cold cycles, bumps, twisting, and deformation being transmitted to the radiator core assembly 6 and preventing coolant leakage.
[0029] See some possible implementations. Figure 4 As shown, two tapered grooves are provided on the inner wall of the through hole away from the keyway. The tapered grooves are set along the length of the through hole. The outer peripheral wall of the rubber damping pad 3 has a tapered protrusion that matches the tapered groove on the side away from the keyway. The tapered protrusion can be slidably set in the tapered groove.
[0030] In the above scheme, the tapered groove is designed to prevent the tapered protrusion from twisting, thus preventing the rubber damping pad 3 from twisting and failing, improving the service life of the rubber damping pad 3, and also improving the vibration reduction effect on the radiator core assembly 6.
[0031] See some possible implementations. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the radiator core assembly 6 has water chambers 8 at both the top and bottom. The left and right sides of the radiator core assembly 6 have detachable left side plate assembly 1 and right side plate assembly 7 respectively. Connecting components are fixedly installed at both ends of the water chambers 8. The top and bottom ends of the left side plate assembly 1 and the top and bottom ends of the right side plate assembly 7 are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting components.
[0032] In the above solution, the upper and lower ends of the left side plate assembly 1 and the right side plate assembly 7 and the radiator core assembly 6 are flexibly connected by a connecting component, thereby absorbing the vibration waves, tension and pressure generated by vehicle vibration and thermal stress on the radiator core assembly 6, thus avoiding coolant leakage caused by radiator cracking.
[0033] See some possible implementations. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component 4 includes a bolt that is detachably installed in two connecting holes. The left side plate assembly 1 and the right side plate assembly 7 both have positioning holes at their upper and lower ends. The two ends of the bolt pass through the corresponding positioning holes on the left side plate assembly 1 or the right side plate assembly 7, and spring washers and nuts are installed at both ends of the bolt.
[0034] In the above scheme, the radiator core assembly 6, the left side plate assembly 1, the right side plate assembly 7 and the connecting components are connected by bolts, spring washers and nuts to achieve a soft connection between the radiator and the left side plate assembly 1 and the right side plate assembly 7, thereby enabling the radiator to absorb energy and buffer after being subjected to external impact, and playing a shock-absorbing role for the radiator core assembly 6.
[0035] In some possible implementations, the assembly column 5 is welded to the water chamber 8; in another possible implementation, the assembly column 5 and the water chamber 8 are integrally cast aluminum or integrally injection molded.
[0036] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the utility model and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
