[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides a logistics appliance for a front-end module assembly, such as Figure 14As shown is the overall structural schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present application, including the limiting support 4 and the appliance body distributed at least in turn from bottom to top, the appliance body is composed of the first body 1 and the second body 2 distributed longitudinally, several appliance bodies can also be placed horizontally, the limiting support 4 plays a limiting role for the horizontally placed appliance body. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are integrally formed by using expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS is a kind of light polymer, which is made of polystyrene resin by adding foaming agent, softening by heating, producing gas, forming a kind of hard closed-cell structure of foam plastic, having the characteristics of small water absorption, good heat preservation, light weight and high mechanical strength.

[0039] As Figure 11 shown is the structural schematic diagram of the front end module assembly in the embodiment of the present application, that is, the cooling system integrated module installed at the front end of the automobile, including the integrated mounting frame and the front end module assembly installed on the integrated mounting frame, the front end module assembly is installed at the front end of the automobile through the integrated mounting frame. The front end module assembly mainly includes the radiator 31, the condenser 32 and the cooling fan 33 distributed in turn, the integrated mounting frame includes the first integrated mounting frame 34 and the second integrated mounting frame 35, the radiator 31 and the condenser 32 are installed on the first integrated mounting frame 34 to form the first module, and the cooling fan 33 is installed on the second integrated mounting frame 35 to form the second module. The radiator 31, the condenser 32 and the cooling fan 33 have weak self-bearing capacity, and thus need to be installed and fixed through the first integrated mounting frame 34 and the second integrated mounting frame 35, while bearing the weight.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 10 shown are the top view, the bottom view, the upper view, the lower view and the left view of the first body and the second body in the embodiment of the present application. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are distributed longitudinally, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are provided with the cavity formed by being recessed inward from the top surface thereof, the first module is accommodated in the cavity of the first body 1, and the second module is accommodated in the cavity of the second body 2. The two cavities are adapted to the contour shape of the accommodated first module and second module, play a fixing and limiting role, and avoid the first module and the second module from shaking due to unfirm fixing during storage and transportation. It should be noted that the disassembly and accommodation mode of the front end module assembly of the logistics appliance of the present application is not limited to the embodiment, and can be adjusted as needed according to actual needs.

[0041] In addition to the embodiment, the following disassembly and accommodation modes are included but not limited to:

[0042] I. The front end module assembly and the integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the first body 1 or the second body 2 as a whole;

[0043] II. The radiator 31, the condenser 32, the cooling fan 33 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are respectively accommodated and packaged, wherein the condenser 32 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the first body 1, the cooling fan 33 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the second body 2, and the radiator 31 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the third body;

[0044] III. The condenser 32, the cooling fan 33 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the first body 1, and the radiator 31 and the corresponding integrated mounting frame are accommodated in the second body 2.

[0045] In order to more intuitively show the technical content and characteristics of the present application, the following still describes the technical solution that the first module is accommodated in the first body 1 and the second module is accommodated in the second body 2.

[0046] The first body 1 and the second body 2 are each provided with a support table 11 which is protruded outward from the bottom surface of the cavity thereof, the support table 11 of the first body 1 is adapted to the bearing part on the first integrated mounting frame 34, and the support table 11 of the second body 2 is adapted to the bearing part on the second integrated mounting frame 35.

[0047] The first body 1 and the second body 2 are each provided with an emptying groove 12 which is recessed inward from the bottom surface of the cavity thereof, the emptying groove 12 of the first body 1 is adapted to the protruding part on the accommodated radiator 31 and condenser 32; the emptying groove 12 of the second body 2 is adapted to the protruding part on the accommodated cooling fan 33, which plays a role of avoiding and accommodating the protruding part on the radiator 31, the condenser 32 and the cooling fan 33, so as to avoid damage caused by extrusion.

[0048] In the embodiment, one of the first body 1 and the second body 2 is a group, constituting an appliance body, and the second body 2 is arranged above the first body 1. The significance of this placement mode is that the weight of the first module accommodated in the first body 1 is relatively heavy, and the weight of the second module accommodated in the second body 2 is relatively light. Arranging the first body 1 below can avoid damage to the second body 2 caused by long-term compression. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in the schematic diagram of the first body accommodating the first module and the second body accommodating the second module in the embodiment of the present application, the second body 2 is arranged above the first body 1.

[0049] For the design, the second body 2 is provided with a first limiting column 16 protruding outward from the bottom surface thereof, and the first body 1 is provided with a first limiting groove adapted to the first limiting column 16 and recessed inward from the top surface thereof. When the second body 2 is stacked above the first body 1, the first limiting column 16 of the second body 2 is just embedded into the first limiting groove of the first body 1, thereby playing a role of fixing and limiting each other and avoiding tilting.

[0050] Further, the first body 1 is provided with a second limiting column protruding outward from the bottom surface thereof, and the second body 2 is provided with a second limiting groove adapted to the second limiting column and recessed inward from the top surface thereof. When a plurality of appliance bodies are longitudinally stacked, the second limiting column of the first body 1 in the upper appliance body is just embedded into the second limiting groove of the second body 2 in the lower appliance body, thereby playing a role of fixing and limiting the adjacent appliance bodies and avoiding tilting. For the purpose of simplifying the design and manufacturing process, the second limiting groove is included at the edge of the cavity of the second body 2. Under the condition that a plurality of appliance bodies are longitudinally stacked, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are not less than two groups and are spaced apart.

[0051] Further, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are each provided with a material reducing groove 14 recessed inward from the bottom surface thereof, and are also provided with a material reducing groove 14 recessed inward from the side surface thereof. It should be noted that the material reducing groove 14 on the side surface of the first body 1 is not directly communicated with the top surface of the first body 1, and the material reducing groove 14 on the side surface of the second body 2 is not directly communicated with the top surface of the second body 2, so as to facilitate an operator to lift the first body 1 or the second body 2 through the material reducing groove 14. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are each provided with a lifting hand groove 13 recessed inward from the edge of the top surface thereof, so that the operator can also lift the first body 1 or the second body 2 above through the lifting hand groove 13. The material reducing groove 14 on the side surface of the first body 1 and the second body 2 is not less than two, and a reinforcing rib 15 is formed between the adjacent material reducing grooves 14 on the side surface, thereby playing a role of reinforcing the structural strength.

[0052] The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make some improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
