Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protective devices, and in particular to a radiator protective structure and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of industrial technology, modern protective device technology has become more and more sophisticated. As a heat exchange device, the radiator needs to be in full contact with the air. However, precision radiators need to be equipped with protective devices on the outside. But the installation of protective devices will affect ventilation and thus hinder the working efficiency of the radiator.

[0003] Secondly, if the radiator needs to be moved frequently, dust or sand can easily fall into the fins and copper pipes during transportation. This makes it difficult to clean out these debris, and the sand particles falling into the fins can also compress and deform them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a radiator protection structure and its usage method. During transport, an air compressor extracts air from the strip-shaped airbag, causing it to deflate. This deflated airbag allows the radiator to fall a short distance until the copper pipes fall into the semi-circular notch. This ensures sufficient contact between the support pipe and the copper pipes, absorbing the vibrations during transport and preventing deformation of the copper pipes. After reinstallation, the air compressor fills the strip-shaped airbag with high-pressure air, suspending all the copper pipes. This minimizes contact between the copper pipes and the support, thus reducing the impact on heat dissipation and solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a radiator protection structure and its usage method, comprising a protective box, wherein a radiator is disposed inside the protective box, the radiator and the bottom of the protective box are connected by a support assembly, a closed ventilation assembly is disposed on the outer side wall of the protective box, an overhead leg assembly is disposed at the bottom of the protective box, the support assembly connects the radiator and an assembly plate, the assembly plate is fixed to the bottom of the protective box, two sets of supports are disposed at the top of the assembly plate, four support pipes are disposed between the two sets of supports, two layers of copper pipes in the radiator are mounted on the top of the support pipes, a semi-circular notch in a straight array is disposed on the support pipes, the copper pipes are pressed into the inside of the semi-circular notch, a strip-shaped airbag is disposed inside the support pipe, an air machine is disposed at the top of the assembly plate, and the air machine is connected to the four strip-shaped airbags through an air pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, a rubber pad is laid on the inner wall of the semi-circular notch, and the support tube is made of aluminum alloy.

[0007] Furthermore, the closed ventilation assembly includes a top ventilation structure and a side wall ventilation structure. The top ventilation structure includes a connection interface at the top of the protective box. The top of the protective box is also provided with a winding shaft seat and a hook. A winding roller is rotatably provided in the middle of the winding shaft seat. The outer side of the winding roller pulls out a protective canopy, and the edge of the protective canopy is provided with a pull rod. The pull rod is engaged inside the hook. The winding roller is connected to the mainspring shaft of the mainspring box.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective shed has a double-layer structure, with the top layer being a gauze mesh and the bottom layer being a dense wire mesh, and the protective shed covering the opening of the interface.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall ventilation structure includes a ventilation opening on the side wall of the protective box, and a torsion baffle is rotatably installed inside the ventilation opening, with a rubber pad adhered to the edge of the torsion baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the overhead leg assembly includes a tube leg, which is fixed to the bottom of the protective box by a flange plate. A telescopic leg is slidably inserted inside the tube leg, and a grounding wheel is provided at the bottom end of the telescopic leg. A clutch assembly is provided on the telescopic leg.

[0011] Furthermore, the clutch assembly includes two pin holes on the telescopic leg and one pin hole on the side wall of the tube leg. The pin hole on the side wall of the tube leg and the pin hole at the bottom of the telescopic leg are connected together by a pin.

[0012] Furthermore, the following steps are included:

[0013] S1. During the transportation of the radiator, the air compressor extracts air from the strip-shaped airbag to deflate it. When the strip-shaped airbag collapses, the radiator can fall a short distance until the copper pipes inside the radiator fall into the semi-circular notch. This allows the support pipe and the copper pipes to make full contact, absorbing the vibrations during transportation and preventing the copper pipes from being deformed by collisions. After the radiator is reinstalled and used, the air compressor fills the strip-shaped airbag with high-pressure air, thus suspending all the copper pipes. The contact between the copper pipes and the support is relatively small, so it will not affect the heat dissipation rate.

[0014] S2. The staff manually pulls out the protective canopy, locks the pull rod at the end of the canopy into the hook, and at the same time, turns the baffle ninety degrees to completely block the opening of the ventilation opening. During the transportation of the radiator, no dust or mud will fall in, and the protective box will completely protect the radiator from being hit by sharp objects during the transportation process.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] Firstly, when the device is in use, during the transportation of the radiator, the air compressor extracts air from the strip-shaped airbag, causing it to deflate. As the airbag collapses, the radiator falls a short distance until the copper pipes inside the radiator fall into the semi-circular notch. This allows the support pipe and the copper pipes to make full contact, absorbing the vibrations during transportation and preventing the copper pipes from being deformed by impact. After the radiator is reinstalled and used, the air compressor fills the strip-shaped airbag with high-pressure air, thus suspending all the copper pipes. The minimal contact between the copper pipes and the support prevents any impact on the heat dissipation rate.

[0017] Secondly, the staff manually pulls out the protective canopy, locks the pull rod at the end of the canopy into the hook, and at the same time, completely blocks the opening of the ventilation opening by turning the baffle ninety degrees. This prevents dust or mud from falling into the radiator during transportation, and the protective box will completely protect the radiator from being hit by sharp objects during transportation.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to represent selected embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] This invention provides, for example Figures 1-9The diagram illustrates a radiator protection structure and its usage method, comprising a protective box 1. A radiator 5 is housed inside the protective box 1. The radiator 5 and the bottom of the protective box 1 are connected by a support assembly. A closed ventilation assembly is installed on the outer wall of the protective box 1. An overhead leg assembly is installed at the bottom of the protective box 1. The support assembly connects the radiator 5 and an assembly plate 6. The assembly plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the protective box 1. Two sets of supports 7 are installed at the top of the assembly plate 6. Four support pipes 9 are installed between the two sets of supports 7. Two layers of copper pipes in the radiator 5 are mounted on the top of the support pipes 9. Semi-circular notches 902 in a linear array are provided on the support pipes 9, and the copper pipes are pressed into the interior of the semi-circular notches 902. Strip-shaped airbags 901 are installed inside the support pipes 9. An air compressor 8 is installed at the top of the assembly plate 6. The air compressor 8 is connected to the four strip-shaped airbags 901 via air pipes. During transportation of the radiator 5, the air compressor 8 extracts air from the strip-shaped airbags 901. When the strip-shaped airbag 901 deflates, it allows the radiator 5 to fall a short distance until the copper tubes in the radiator 5 fall into the semi-circular notch 902. This allows the support tube 9 and the copper tubes to make full contact, absorbing the vibrations of the radiator 5 during transportation and preventing the copper tubes from being deformed by impact. After the radiator 5 is reinstalled and used, the air compressor 8 fills the strip-shaped airbag 901 with high-pressure air, thus suspending all the copper tubes. The contact between the copper tubes and the support is small, so it does not affect the heat dissipation rate. Compared with the existing radiator protection devices, which hinder the ventilation of the radiator 5, but do not install the protection device, the radiator 5 will be subject to impact. Once the radiator 5 is impacted, the fins will be deformed and difficult to repair. The bearing points of the protection device of this invention are evenly distributed on the copper tubes, which prevents the fins from being deformed by impact. Furthermore, there is no contact between the protection device and the fins, which does not affect the contact between the fins and the air.

[0031] A rubber pad is laid on the inner wall of the semi-circular notch 902. The support tube 9 is made of aluminum alloy. The rubber pad inside the semi-circular notch 902 increases the fit with the copper tube, thus making the copper tube less prone to deformation.

[0032] The closed ventilation assembly includes a top ventilation structure and a side wall ventilation structure. The top ventilation structure includes a connection interface 101 at the top of the protective box 1. The top of the protective box 1 is also provided with a winding shaft seat 401 and a hook 404. A winding rod 402 is rotatably provided in the middle of the winding shaft seat 401. The outer side of the winding rod 402 pulls out the protective canopy 4, and the edge of the protective canopy 4 is provided with a pull rod 405. The pull rod 405 is engaged inside the hook 404. The winding rod 402 is connected to the spring shaft of the spring box 403. The operator manually pulls out the protective canopy 4 and locks the pull rod 405 at the end of the protective canopy 4 into the hook 404. When the radiator 5 needs to be transported, no debris will fall into the gap of the radiator 5 from above.

[0033] The protective shed 4 has a double-layer structure, with the top layer being a gauze mesh and the bottom layer being a dense wire mesh. The protective shed 4 covers the opening of the interface 101. The gauze mesh has a dustproof effect, and the wire mesh increases the toughness of the protective shed 4, preventing it from being easily torn apart.

[0034] The side wall ventilation structure includes a ventilation opening 3 on the side wall of the protective box 1. A torsion baffle 301 is rotatably installed inside the ventilation opening 3. A rubber pad is glued to the edge of the torsion baffle 301, which completely blocks the opening of the ventilation opening 3 at a 90-degree angle. During transportation, the protective box 1 will completely protect the radiator 5 from being hit by sharp objects.

[0035] The overhead leg assembly includes a tube leg 2, which is fixed to the bottom of the protective box 1 by a flange plate. A telescopic leg 201 is slidably inserted inside the tube leg 2. A ground wheel 202 is provided at the bottom end of the telescopic leg 201. A clutch assembly is provided on the telescopic leg 201. The telescopic leg 201 can be retracted to fix the tube leg 2 to the ground, allowing the radiator 5 to be installed. When the telescopic leg 201 extends out from the tube leg 2, the protective box 1 can be attached to a tractor and towed away.

[0036] The clutch assembly includes two pin holes on the telescopic leg 201 and a pin hole on the side wall of the tube leg 2. The pin hole on the side wall of the tube leg 2 and the pin hole at the bottom of the telescopic leg 201 are connected together by a pin 203. The pin 203 is pulled out before each extension and retraction of the telescopic leg 201, and the pin 203 is inserted back in to lock it after the telescopic leg 201 is positioned.

[0037] Includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. During the transportation of radiator 5, air compressor 8 extracts air from the strip-shaped air bag 901 to deflate it. When the strip-shaped air bag 901 deflates, radiator 5 can fall a short distance until the copper pipes in radiator 5 fall into the semi-circular notch 902. Then the support tube 9 and the copper pipes can make full contact, and the vibration of radiator 5 during transportation can be absorbed, so the copper pipes will not be deformed by collision. After radiator 5 is reinstalled and used, air compressor 8 fills the strip-shaped air bag 901 with high-pressure air, so all the copper pipes are suspended. The contact between the copper pipes and the support is small, so the heat dissipation rate will not be affected.

[0039] S2. The staff manually pulls out the protective canopy 4 and locks the pull rod 405 at the end of the protective canopy 4 into the hook 404. At the same time, the twist baffle 301 is completely blocked at ninety degrees to block the opening of the ventilation port 3. During the transportation of the radiator 5, dust or mud will not fall in, and the protective box 1 will completely protect the radiator 5 from being hit by sharp objects during the transportation process.

[0040] Working Principle: During transportation, the air compressor 8 extracts air from the strip-shaped airbag 901, causing it to deflate. This deflated airbag allows the radiator 5 to fall a short distance until the copper pipes inside the radiator 5 reach the semi-circular notch 902. This ensures full contact between the support tube 9 and the copper pipes, absorbing the vibrations during transportation and preventing deformation of the copper pipes. After reinstallation, the air compressor 8 fills the strip-shaped airbag 901 with high-pressure air, suspending all the copper pipes. The minimal contact between the copper pipes and the support minimizes heat dissipation. Compared to existing radiator protection devices, which hinder ventilation but allow for impact damage to the radiator 5, this invention's protection device distributes the impact points evenly across the copper pipes, preventing fin deformation. Furthermore, the protection device and... There is no contact between the fins, which does not affect the contact between the fins and the air. The rubber gasket inside the semi-circular notch 902 increases the fit with the copper tube, thus making the copper tube less prone to deformation. The worker manually pulls out the protective canopy 4 and locks the pull rod 405 at the end of the protective canopy 4 into the hook 404. When the radiator 5 needs to be transported, no debris will fall into the gap of the radiator 5 from above. The gauze mesh has a dustproof effect, and the wire mesh increases the toughness of the protective canopy 4, preventing it from being easily torn. The twisting block Plate 301 completely blocks the opening of vent 3 at a 90-degree angle. During transportation, the protective box 1 will completely protect the radiator 5 from being hit by sharp objects. The telescopic leg 201 can be retracted to fix the tube leg 2 on the ground, allowing the radiator 5 to be installed. When the telescopic leg 201 extends out of the tube leg 2, the protective box 1 can be attached to a tow truck and towed away. Before each extension and retraction of the telescopic leg 201, the pin 203 is pulled out. After the telescopic leg 201 is positioned, the pin 203 is inserted back to lock it.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
