[0042] Before this application was filed, the existing automotive cooling module was generally fixed to the front frame. However, this fixing method requires the front frame to be larger in size and weight to accommodate the installation and fixation of the cooling module, which results in a complex overall structure of the front frame and increases the cost and weight of the vehicle.

[0043] In this regard, the first aspect of the present application provides a cooling module fixing structure, thereby solving the problem that the existing automobile cooling module is fixed on the front frame, which will lead to a complex overall structure of the front frame and increase the cost and weight of the vehicle. Figures 1 to 10 A cooling module fixing structure according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

In this way, the front end frame 500 can not only reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cooling module 700, but also the front end frame 500 does not need to adapt to the size of the cooling module 700. Therefore, the front end frame 500 can reduce the size and weight, thereby reducing the weight of the whole vehicle and saving the cost of the whole vehicle.

[0071] In summary, the cooling module 700 of the present application is connected to the front end frame 500 through the first upper bracket 100 and the second upper bracket 200, and is connected to the sub-frame 600 through the first lower bracket 300 and the second lower bracket 400. Most of the weight of the cooling module 700 is applied to the sub-frame 600 through the first lower bracket 300 and the second lower bracket 400.

[0072] That is to say, the upper part of the cooling module 700 of the present application is connected to the front end frame 500, and the lower part is connected to the subframe 600, that is, the present application replaces the cooling module 700 + front end frame 500 of the prior art by the cooling module 700 + front end frame 500 and subframe 600. In this way, the front end frame 500 can not only reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cooling module 700, but also the front end frame 500 does not need to adapt to the size of the cooling module 700. Therefore, the front end frame 500 can reduce the size and weight, replace materials, and then reduce the weight of the whole vehicle and save the cost of the whole vehicle.

[0073] In addition, the cooling module of the present application is partially connected to the sub-frame, which enhances the shock absorption capability of the cooling module.

[0074] According to a second aspect of the present application, a vehicle is provided, comprising the cooling module fixing structure as described above.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementation methods of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application rather than to limit them. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that any technician familiar with this technical field can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
