DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0041] In the description of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0042] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 A cooling device assembly 10 and a vehicle 100 having the cooling device assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail.

[0043] See also Figure 1 As shown, in the following description about the front, back, left and right of the vehicle 100, the positive direction of the x-axis is the front, the negative direction of the x-axis is the rear, the positive direction of the y-axis is the left, the negative direction of the y-axis is the right, the positive direction of the z-axis is the top, and the negative direction of the z-axis is the bottom.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the cooling device assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a cooling device body and a first connecting structure 3, the first connecting structure 3 connects the cooling device body and the vehicle body, and the cooling device assembly 10 is configured as follows: when impacted, the first connecting structure 3 breaks to separate the first connecting structure 3 from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves in a direction away from the collision position.

[0045] Specifically, the cooling device body is connected to the vehicle body through the first connection structure 3, ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling device assembly 10 in the vehicle body. The cooling device assembly 10 is applied to the vehicle 100. When the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the first connection structure 3 breaks to absorb part of the impact of the collision, and moves the cooling device body away from the collision position. The cooling device body can avoid the collision point in time, preventing the cooling device body from being deformed by the collision, and the cooling functional components contained in the cooling device body (such as condensers, intercoolers, radiators and other cooling devices) from being squeezed and damaged, thereby effectively protecting the integrity of the cooling device body and reducing the probability of direct damage to the cooling device body due to collision.

[0046] Optionally, the first connection structure 3 may be a plastic part, a sheet metal part, etc.

[0047] In the related art, when a vehicle collides at a low speed, the cooling device is subjected to excessive collision impact during the collision, resulting in serious damage to the cooling device and excessively high repair costs.

[0048] According to the cooling device assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, part of the impact of the collision is absorbed by the first connecting structure 3 breaking, and the first connecting structure 3 is separated from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves away from the collision position, thereby reducing the impact on the cooling device assembly 10, avoiding further damage to the cooling device assembly 10, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1-Figure 8As shown, the cooling device body includes a cooling device and a shell 1, the shell 1 forms a receiving space, and the cooling device is arranged in the receiving space. Specifically, the receiving space formed by the shell 1 provides a physical barrier for the cooling device, which can prevent foreign objects from directly contacting the cooling device. When the vehicle is driving, foreign objects such as stones and dust on the road may splash up, and the shell 1 can prevent these foreign objects from hitting the cooling device, avoiding scratches, wear, or dents on the surface of the cooling device, thereby extending the service life of the cooling device.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the first connection structure 3 connects the housing 1 and the vehicle body. Specifically, the first connection structure 3 connects the housing 1 and the vehicle body, and can accurately locate the position of the cooling device assembly 10 in the vehicle 100, thereby ensuring that the relative position relationship between the cooling device (such as a condenser, a radiator, etc.) and other related components (such as an engine, an air conditioning compressor, etc.) is stable.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the cooling device assembly 10 is arranged obliquely. Specifically, the oblique arrangement of the cooling device assembly 10 can better fit the complex spatial shape inside the vehicle 100, especially in the front cabin of the vehicle 100 and other areas with limited space and irregular shapes. It can make use of some space corners that were originally difficult to use, avoid conflicts with other key components (such as the engine, transmission, etc.) in space, make the space layout inside the vehicle more compact and reasonable, and improve space utilization.

[0052] It can be understood that “the cooling device assembly 10 is arranged obliquely” means that the cooling device assembly 10 is arranged neither horizontally nor vertically.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the first connection structure 3 includes a first connection column 34, one end of which is arranged on the cooling device body, and the other end of the first connection column 34 is suitable for connecting to the vehicle body, and the first connection column 34 can be broken when hit to separate from the vehicle body. Specifically, the cooling device body is mounted on the vehicle body through the first connection column 34. When the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed and is transmitted to the cooling device body, the first connection column 34 breaks to absorb the collision energy, and separates the cooling device body from the vehicle body. The cooling device body moves in a direction away from the collision position, reducing the excessive impact of the collision of the vehicle 100 on other components in the cooling device assembly 10, and preventing the cooling device assembly 10 from affecting the overall performance and safety of the vehicle 100 due to damage.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a weakening structure is provided at the connection between the first connecting column 34 and the cooling device body. Therefore, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the weakening structure can guide the connection between the first connecting column 34 and the cooling device body to break, absorb the collision energy, and separate the first connecting structure 3 from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves away from the collision position, thereby reducing the excessive impact of the collision of the vehicle 100 on other components in the cooling device assembly 10, and protecting the integrity and safety of the cooling device assembly 10.

[0055] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, a weakening structure is provided on the first connecting column 34. Therefore, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the weakening structure can guide the first connecting column 34 to break, absorb the collision energy, and separate the first connecting structure 3 from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves away from the collision position, thereby reducing the excessive impact of the collision of the vehicle 100 on other components in the cooling device assembly 10, and protecting the integrity and safety of the cooling device assembly 10.

[0056] Optionally, the weakened structure may be a groove design, local thinning of the material, filling or connection of low-strength materials, a small hole or gap design, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the first connection structure 3 also includes a first fixing seat, which is suitable for being installed on the vehicle body. The first connection column 34 is arranged along a first direction (such as Figure 7 Specifically, the first fixing seat is closely fitted and fixed to a specific part of the vehicle body, which can effectively disperse the force applied by the cooling device assembly to the vehicle body, avoid damage to the vehicle body structure due to excessive local pressure, and thus enhance the stability of the connection between the cooling device assembly and the vehicle body.

[0058] It should be noted that the first direction in this application is Figure 1 The negative z-axis.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting column 34 is interference fit with the first fixing seat. Specifically, the interference fit forms a tight connection between the first connecting column 34 and the first fixing seat. During the operation of the vehicle, regardless of the force generated by the vehicle vibration, acceleration, deceleration or turning, this tight connection can effectively prevent the first connecting column 34 from relative displacement or loosening in the first fixing seat, ensuring that the first connecting column 34 is firmly held in the first fixing seat, maintaining the stable installation state of the cooling device assembly 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the first fixing seat includes a first fixing bracket 31 and a first bushing 32. The first fixing bracket 31 can be installed on the first structure of the vehicle body. The first bushing 32 is fixed to the first fixing bracket 31. The first connecting column 34 extends along the first direction. For example, the first connecting column 34 extends along the up and down direction of the vehicle 100. The first connecting column 34 is plugged and matched with the first bushing 32. Specifically, the first fixing seat forms a multi-layer connection structure through the combined design of the first fixing bracket 31 and the first bushing 32. The first fixing bracket 31 can be installed on the first structure of the vehicle body, providing a solid foundation for the entire connection, and effectively transferring the weight of the cooling device assembly 10 and the external force it receives to the vehicle body structure. The first bushing 32 is fixed to the first fixing bracket 31, playing the role of intermediate transition and buffering, and enhancing the reliability of the connection.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first connecting column 34 is inserted into the first bushing 32 in the negative direction of the z-axis by interference fit. Specifically, the first connecting column 34 is connected to the first fixing bracket 31 in the z-direction by interference fit through the first bushing 32, rather than being bolted in the x-direction (front and rear direction of the vehicle 100) in the related art, so that when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed and the collision force transmitted to the first connecting structure 3 reaches a first preset threshold, the connection between the first connecting column 34 and the first connecting body 33 is broken, or the first connecting column 34 is broken, absorbing the collision energy while separating the first connecting structure 3 from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves in a direction away from the collision position, thereby avoiding further damage to the cooling device assembly 10 and improving the maintenance economy.

[0062] Optionally, the first bushing 32 and the first fixing bracket 31 may be connected by vulcanization, welding, riveting, or the like.

[0063] Optionally, the first fixing bracket 31 and the first structure may be connected by welding, bolt connection, snap connection, riveting, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that the above-mentioned “the first connecting column 34 extends along the up-down direction of the vehicle 100” means that the angle between the first connecting column 34 and the up-down direction of the vehicle 100 is 0°, or the first connecting column 34 is inclined at a small angle relative to the up-down direction of the vehicle 100, and the small angle can be an angle greater than 0° and not greater than 30°, for example 1°, 3°, 5°, 7°, 9°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the cooling device body includes a first connecting body 33, one end of a first connecting column 34 is connected to the first connecting body 33, and the other end of the first connecting column 34 is interference fit with the first fixing seat. Specifically, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the connection between the first connecting column 34 and the first connecting body 33 is broken to absorb the collision energy, and the first connecting structure 3 is separated from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves away from the collision position, thereby reducing the excessive impact of the collision of the vehicle 100 on other components in the cooling device assembly 10, and preventing the cooling device assembly 10 from affecting the overall performance and safety of the vehicle 100 due to damage.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the cooling device assembly 10 also includes an impact block 35, which is connected to the first connection structure 3 and is located on the side of the first connection structure 3 facing the impact position, so that the impact block 35 first contacts the collision object. Specifically, the impact block 35 is connected to the root of the first connection body 33, and the impact block 35 is arranged on the shell 1 and is located on the side of the shell 1 facing the front of the vehicle. When the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, a part of the collision force received by the vehicle 100 will be transmitted to the impact block 35, and the impact block 35 can directly bear and absorb a part of the collision energy, and transmit the remaining collision energy to the first connection structure 3 and the shell 1. The first connection structure 3 is broken by the collision force to absorb part of the impact of the collision, and the first connection structure 3 is separated from the vehicle body, and the cooling device body moves in the direction away from the collision position, thereby reducing the impact received by the cooling device assembly 10, avoiding further damage to the cooling device assembly 10, and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, the impact block 35 is arranged on the cooling device body. Specifically, the impact block 35 is arranged on the cooling device body, and through a reasonable connection method (such as a firm bolt connection, welding, etc.), the overall mass distribution and structural stability of the cooling device body can be increased, so that the cooling device body can more effectively maintain its shape and structural integrity when facing various working conditions (including collision and non-collision situations), and improve its ability to resist external interference.

[0068] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the impact block 35 is an integral part with the cooling device body. Specifically, the impact block 35 is an integral part with the cooling device body, which enhances the strength and stability of the cooling device body. During normal driving of the vehicle 100, the integrated structure can better resist external forces such as vibration and distortion, and reduce relative displacement and looseness between components.

[0069] In some embodiments, the impacted block 35 can be installed and fixed on the cooling device body through an assembly process.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, reinforcing ribs are provided on the impacted block 35. Specifically, the design of the reinforcing ribs improves the structural strength of the impacted block 35, significantly enhances the bending and compression resistance of the impacted block 35, and when the vehicle collides at a low speed, the impacted block 35 will bear a huge impact force, and the reinforcing ribs act like a skeleton to provide an additional support structure for the impacted block 35.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the impacted block 35 is connected to the first connection body 33 through the ribs 351. Specifically, the impacted block 35 is connected to the first connection body 33 through the ribs 351. The design of the ribs 351 improves the connection strength between the impacted block 35 and the first connection body 33, avoiding the situation where the impacted block 35 is broken and separated from the first connection body 33 due to insufficient local strength.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the cooling device assembly 10 further includes: a second connection structure 4, the second connection structure 4 connects the cooling device body and the vehicle body, and at least a portion of the second connection structure 4 can move in a direction away from the impact position when impacted, so that the cooling device body moves in a direction away from the impact position. Specifically, the cooling device body is firmly mounted on the vehicle body through the second connection structure 4, ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling device body during vehicle body operation.

[0073] Optionally, the second connection structure 4 may be a plastic part, a sheet metal part, etc.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the second connection structure 4 includes a second connection column 43, which is arranged on the cooling device body. The second connection column 43 can move in a direction away from the impact position when impacted, so as to move the cooling device body in a direction away from the impact position. Specifically, the second connection column 43 is arranged on the housing 1, and the second connection column 43 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. During a low-speed collision of the vehicle 100, when the second connection column 43 is subjected to an x-direction collision force, the second connection column 43 can drive the cooling device body to move in a direction away from the collision position, thereby reducing the impact on the cooling device assembly 10, avoiding further damage to the cooling device assembly 10, and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the second connection structure 4 also includes a second fixing seat, which is suitable for being installed on the vehicle body. The second connection column 43 is arranged along the second direction (such as Figure 4 The second connecting column 43 can move in the second fixing seat along the second direction. Figure 4 F2 direction) is Figure 1 The negative x-axis.

[0076] Specifically, the second fixing seat is suitable for being installed on the vehicle body, and a distance in the x-direction is reserved between the rear end face of the second connecting column 43 and the front end face of the second fixing seat. During a low-speed collision of the vehicle 100, when the second connecting column 43 is subjected to an x-direction collision force, the second connecting column 43 can move axially on the second fixing seat.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing seat includes a second fixing bracket 41 and a second bushing 42, the second fixing bracket 41 can be installed on the second structure of the vehicle body, the second bushing 42 is fixed to the second fixing bracket 41, the second connecting column 43 is plugged and matched with the second bushing 42, after the first connecting structure 3 is broken, when the second connecting column 43 is subjected to a collision force, the second connecting column 43 moves toward the rear direction of the vehicle relative to the second bushing 42. In other words, when the second connecting column 43 is connected to the second bushing 42, a distance in the x direction is reserved between the rear end face of the second connecting column 43 and the front end face of the second bushing 42, and during the collision process of the vehicle 100, when the second connecting column 43 is subjected to a collision force, the second connecting column 43 can move axially on the second bushing 42.

[0078] Specifically, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed and the second connecting column 43 is subjected to the collision force, the second connecting column 43 moves toward the rear of the vehicle relative to the second bushing 42, and the second connecting column 43 drives the cooling device assembly 10 to move backward as a whole, thereby effectively reducing the risk of damage to the cooling functional component 2 in the cooling device assembly 10 and reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle 100.

[0079] Optionally, the second connecting column 43 is connected to the second bushing 42 by interference fit. Specifically, the second connecting column 43 is connected to the second fixing bracket 41 in the x direction through the second bushing 42, and the freedom of movement is reserved in the x direction, while the second fixing bracket and the second connecting column are fixedly installed without freedom in the non-related technology. When the second connecting column 43 is subjected to a collision force, the second connecting column 43 moves toward the rear of the vehicle relative to the second bushing 42, and the second connecting column 43 drives the cooling device assembly 10 to move backward as a whole, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the cooling functional component 2 in the cooling device assembly 10 and reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle 100.

[0080] Optionally, the second bushing 42 and the second fixing bracket 41 are connected by vulcanization, welding, riveting or the like.

[0081] Optionally, the second fixing bracket 41 and the second structure may be connected by bolt connection, snap connection, riveting or the like.

[0082] It should be noted that the above-mentioned “the second connecting column 43 extends along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle 100” means that the angle between the second connecting column 43 and the front-to-back direction of the vehicle 100 is 0°, or the second connecting column 43 is inclined at a small angle relative to the front-to-back direction of the vehicle 100, and the small angle can be an angle greater than 0° and not greater than 30°, for example 1°, 3°, 5°, 7°, 9°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, etc.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the impact block 35 is first squeezed by the front end structure of the vehicle 100 or the impact object, and the impact block 35 transmits the force to the first connecting body 33. The connection position between the first connecting body 33 and the first connecting column 34 has a weakening design, or there is a weakening design on the first connecting body 33. When subjected to the collision force, the first connecting column 34 is sheared off, and the cooling functional component 2 is continuously squeezed. The impact block 35 continues to transmit the squeezing force to the cooling device assembly 10, and the second connecting column 43 is subjected to the squeezing force from the x-direction. The second connecting column 43 moves toward the rear direction of the vehicle relative to the second bushing 42, thereby driving the cooling device assembly 10 to move backward as a whole, protecting other components of the cooling device assembly 10 (especially the cooling functional component 2) from being squeezed and damaged, thereby reducing the economic cost of maintenance.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in the first direction, the second connection structure 4 is located above the first connection structure 3; in the second direction, the first connection structure 3 is located in front of the second connection structure 4, and the second direction is different from the first direction. Specifically, the first direction can be Figure 1 The negative direction of the z axis, the second direction can be Figure 1 In the negative direction of the middle x-axis, in the up-down direction of the vehicle 100, the second connection structure 4 is located above the first connection structure 3, and in the front-back direction of the vehicle 100, the first connection structure 3 is located in front of the second connection structure 4, and the cooling device assembly 10 is arranged obliquely. The second connection structure 4 is located above the first connection structure 3, and the first connection structure 3 is in front of the second connection structure 4, so that the first connection structure 3 is closer to the front lower end of the vehicle 100, which not only meets the installation requirements of the cooling device assembly 10, but also makes it possible for at least a part of the collision force to be transmitted to the first connection structure 3 when the front end of the vehicle 100 (such as the bumper position) is hit.
