Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of radiators, and particularly relates to a new energy automobile radiator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The new energy automobile refers to an automobile adopting unconventional vehicle fuel as a power source, and combining advanced technologies of vehicle power control and driving to form an automobile with advanced technical principles and new technologies and structures. The new energy automobile and the ordinary automobile are both required to be provided with a radiator for heat dissipation of the automobile interior, and particularly the hydrogen energy automobile emits a large amount of heat in the running process, which requires the radiator to dissipate heat.

[0003] The existing new energy automobile radiator is installed in the automobile body, and the staff needs to operate in the automobile body when disassembling the radiator, which not only affects the disassembly efficiency of the radiator, but also easily touches other electrical elements in the automobile body, so that the electrical elements are displaced under force.

[0004] To solve the technical problems, the related practitioners design the radiator easy to install as shown in CN221090471U, which is lifted by a screw mechanism when disassembled. However, the corresponding screw, motor and mounting column need to be arranged around the radiator in this scheme. It is known that the internal structure of the automobile is relatively compact in order to arrange the corresponding pipeline, electrical element and other corresponding parts. The spacing of the parts in the horizontal direction is usually very limited. This scheme needs to occupy more space around the radiator, which requires a larger space in the vehicle. SUMMARY

[0033] The present invention aims to introduce and explain the structural composition of a new energy vehicle radiator and the cooperation relationship between the various components. Unless otherwise specified, the dimensions, materials and manufacturing processes of the various components in the new energy vehicle radiator in the present invention can be selected according to specific circumstances, and no special limitations or explanations are made here.

[0034] Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of the present invention, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will fully understand the invention even without these detailed descriptions.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a new energy vehicle radiator, including a base plate 1, a mounting bracket 2, a folding support bracket 3, a drive mechanism 4, a radiator body 5, and a locking mechanism 6;

[0036] Mounting bracket 2 is mounted on base plate 1, and folding support bracket 3 is rotatably mounted on mounting bracket 2, and can be folded or opened by rotation; it should be understood that when folding support bracket 3 is opened, it can stand up, so that radiator body 5 moves upward away from base plate 1. Base plate 1 is provided with corresponding screw holes and bolt holes, etc., for mounting on vehicle frame.

[0037] The drive mechanism 4 is slidably mounted on the base plate 1 and can drive the folding support frame 3 to rotate. The drive mechanism 4 can maintain the angular position of the folding support frame 3; that is, after the folding support frame 3 rotates, it can maintain the angle due to the restriction of the drive mechanism 4 and will not rotate due to gravity or other factors.

[0038] The radiator body 5 is placed on the folding support frame 3, and the locking mechanism 6 is slidably provided on the folding support frame 3 and can fix the radiator body 5 by sliding.

[0039] In this application, the folding support frame 3 is rotated by the sliding of the drive mechanism 4, thereby enabling the folding support frame 3 to be erected or retracted. The folding characteristic of the folding support frame 3 effectively saves installation space and facilitates the installation of other components and related cables. Simultaneously, since the drive mechanism 4 can maintain the angle of the folding support frame 3, it allows the operator to easily raise the radiator body 5 to a suitable height according to their needs and the site environment, making disassembly and installation easier.

[0040] In other embodiments, the folding support frame 3 includes a rotating plate 31, a mounting plate 32, a sliding plate 33, a sliding assembly 34, a hinge shaft 35, a sliding connecting rod 36, and a sliding block 37. The rotating plate 31 and the sliding plate 33 are respectively provided in two sets opposite to each other. One end of the rotating plate 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 32. The mounting plate 32 is provided with mounting holes. The radiator body 5 is provided with a locking plate 51, which is inserted into the mounting hole and fixed by a locking mechanism 6. The locking mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 32. The sliding assembly 34 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 2. The sliding of the drive mechanism 4 can drive the sliding assembly 34 to slide. The sliding block 37 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 32 and is provided with a sliding connecting rod 36. One end of the sliding plate 33 is sleeved on the sliding connecting rod 36, and the other end is sleeved on the sliding assembly 34. The rotating plate 31 and the sliding plate 33 are connected by the hinge shaft 35.

[0041] It should be understood that the bottom surface of the mounting plate 32 is provided with a slider groove 321 adapted to the slider block 37. The slider block 37 performs linear reciprocating motion on the slider groove 321. The hinge shaft 35 connects the two rotating plates 31 and the two sliding plates 33. The two sliding plates 33 are simultaneously sleeved on the sliding connecting rod 36 and the sliding assembly 34. The projections of the two rotating plates 31 on the axial direction of the hinge shaft 35 coincide, and the projections of the two sliding plates 33 on the axial direction of the hinge shaft 35 also coincide. Since the rotating plates 31 and the sliding plates 33 are hinged in the middle by the hinge shaft 35, the sliding mechanism 4 drives the upper and lower ends of the sliding plates 33 to slide towards the hinge shaft 35, and drives the rotating plates 31 to rotate, thereby achieving folding or standing. Preferably, the mounting plate 32 is provided with an elongated hole, and the locking plate 51 is an L-shaped plate that can be inserted into the elongated hole on the mounting plate 32. The size of the elongated hole is adapted to the insertion end of the locking plate 51, which can restrict the sliding of the locking plate 51 in the horizontal direction. The locking plate 51 is preferably provided with two opposing sets.

[0042] In other embodiments, the sliding assembly 34 includes a rack 341, a driven rod 342, a gear 343, and a worm gear 344; the mounting bracket 2 is provided with two sets of components opposite each other and is provided with limiting holes 21. The driven rod 342 passes through the two limiting holes 21, the sliding plate 33 is sleeved on the driven rod 342, the gear 343 and the worm gear 344 are coaxially fixed on the driven rod 342, the rack 341 is fixed on the base plate 1 and meshes with the gear 343, and the drive mechanism 4 can drive the worm gear 344 to rotate in one direction. It should be understood that the rotation of the driven rod 342 does not cause the sliding plate 33 to rotate. The limiting hole 21 is an elongated hole, with its upper and lower sides respectively abutting against the driven rod 342. The drive mechanism 4 drives the worm gear 344 to rotate in one direction, which in turn drives the driven rod 342 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 343 to rotate. Since the gear 343 and the rack 341 mesh, the gear 343 will move on the rack 341, thereby driving the sliding plate 33 to move. Preferably, the rack 341 is located between the two mounting brackets 2, and the worm gear 344 is located outside the mounting bracket 2.

[0043] In other embodiments, the drive mechanism 4 includes a sliding box 41 and a worm gear 42. The sliding box 41 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 and connected to the folding support frame 3. The worm gear 42 is rotatably connected to the sliding box 41, and the rotation of the worm gear 42 can unidirectionally drive the folding support frame 3 to fold or open. Specifically, the worm gear 42 unidirectionally drives the worm wheel 344 to rotate. The sliding box 41 is sleeved on the driven rod 342. The rotation of the driven rod 342 does not drive the sliding box 41 to rotate, but the movement of the driven rod 342 drives the sliding box 41 to slide. The base plate 1 is provided with a groove that matches the sliding box 41. Through the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear mechanism, the folding support frame 3 can be maintained at any angle after being changed, without the need for additional fixing or unlocking operations.

[0044] In other designs, one end of the worm gear 42 passes through the sliding box 41 and is coaxially fixed with a rotating block 43. By setting the rotating block 43, the worm gear 42 can be easily rotated. The rotating block 43 can preferably be set as a hexagonal fixing block, which can be easily rotated from the outside by using a hexagonal wrench, making it convenient to operate and practical.

[0045] In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 6 includes a locking plate 61, a locking rod 62, a connecting spring 63, and a fixing plate 64. The locking plate 61 is slidably connected to the folding support frame 3 and connected to the fixing plate 64 via the connecting spring 63. The fixing plate 64 is fixedly mounted on the folding support frame 3. The locking rod 62 is fixedly mounted on the locking plate 61 and can be inserted into the radiator body 5 for fixation. Specifically, the locking plate 51 on the radiator body 5 has mounting holes that fit the locking rod 62. The locking rod 62 is inserted into these holes under the elastic force of the connecting spring 63 to fix the radiator body 5.

[0046] After lifting the radiator body 51, the locking mechanism 6 needs to be manually released to remove the radiator body 51. This process complicates the removal of the radiator body 51, making it difficult to remove it quickly. To address this, in other solutions, the folding support frame 3 is also equipped with a pushing mechanism 7. The pushing mechanism 7 can drive the locking mechanism 6 away from the radiator body 5 when the folding support frame 3 is opened. Specifically, when the folding support frame 3 is opened to a certain angle, the pushing mechanism 7 drives the locking mechanism 6 to unlock the radiator body 5. This achieves unlocking as soon as the radiator body 5 is lifted, eliminating the need to manually release the radiator after lifting, making disassembly more convenient. Specifically, the pushing mechanism 7 is located on the sliding block 37, and the locking connecting plate 61 is an L-shaped plate. Preferably, unlocking is achieved when the folding support frame 3 is opened to its maximum angle.

[0047] In other embodiments, the pushing mechanism 7 includes a pushing link 71 and a pushing block 72. The pushing link 71 is mounted on the folding support frame 3, and the pushing block 72 has an inclined surface and is fixed to the pushing link 71. The movement of the pushing block 72 can drive the locking mechanism 6 to move away from the radiator body 5. Specifically, the pushing link 71 is fixed to the sliding block 37. When the sliding block 37 slides, the inclined surface of the pushing block 72 presses against the locking plate 61 of the locking mechanism 6, causing the locking plate 61 to move away from the radiator body 5, thereby unlocking the radiator body 5. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 A sliding block 37 is provided on the sliding plate 33 connected to the driven rod 342. Sliding the sliding box 41 to the left retracts the folding support frame 3, causing the sliding plate 33 connected to the driven rod 342 to tilt to the right, thus causing the sliding block 37 to slide to the right; sliding the sliding box 41 to the right opens the folding support frame 3, causing the sliding plate 33 connected to the driven rod 342 to tilt to the left, thus causing the sliding block 37 to slide to the left. Specifically... Figure 3 When the sliding box 41 is operated to open the folding support frame 3, the sliding block 37 slides forward in the slider groove 321, and the push rod 71 connected to the sliding block 37 slides forward. Since the push block 72 is fixed on the push rod 71, the inclined surface on the push block 72 will push the push rod forward. Figure 3 The L-shaped locking plate 61 shown slides away from the locking plate 51 to unlock. When the sliding block 37 continues to slide, the L-shaped locking plate 61, which is away from the push block 72, will lock the locking plate 51 again under the action of the connecting spring 63.

[0048] In other designs, multiple push blocks 72 are spaced apart, and each push block 72 has a bevel on both sides. By spaced out multiple push blocks 72, the push linkage 71 can be slid back and forth to different positions to push the locking mechanism 6, that is, the radiator body 5 can be unlocked at multiple angles when the folding support frame 3 is opened. By enabling it to be unlocked at different angles and heights, the operator can choose a more suitable angle and position to remove the radiator body 51.

[0049] The aforementioned new energy vehicle radiator can raise the radiator body while saving installation space, making the installation and removal of the radiator body more convenient.

[0050] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
