Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiator components, and in particular to an integrated windshield strip for a cooling module and a cooling module. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two ways to seal the front and rear and upper and lower heat exchangers / radiators of the front-end cooling module: 1. Sealing with sponge strips: When the sponge strips are sealed and installed, they will be squeezed and deformed between the cores, and even detach from the adhesive surface. If multiple heat exchangers are sealed on the top, multiple sponge strips are required to be pasted to form a C or E shape for sealing, which has low strength, poor sealing effect, and complex pasting and installation; 2. A single windshield strip is used for sealing between adjacent heat exchangers. Similar products will result in higher error prevention costs, and the production of windshield strips of different specifications requires the use of multiple molds, which increases production costs.
