Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically to a radiator bracket and a radiator assembly having the radiator bracket, a temperature control system, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Radiators can be fixed in various ways, with screws being the most common method. While this structure provides a secure hold, it suffers from low assembly and disassembly efficiency. This is because the area where the radiator is typically installed is surrounded by other components, requiring the radiator to be secured along its thickness. In related technologies, one of the hooks and clips is fixed to the radiator housing, while the other is fixed to the vehicle body, then positioned and secured along the radiator's thickness. During assembly, hooking the hook onto the clip positions the radiator, improving ease of assembly and disassembly to some extent. However, in actual installation, the radiator requires multiple brackets for fixation. Positioning errors in the brackets can lead to misalignment of hooks and clips, causing positioning failures. Therefore, precise positioning of the brackets is crucial during installation, resulting in low installation efficiency and poor applicability due to high precision requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, embodiments of this invention provide a radiator bracket. This radiator bracket has the advantages of high installation efficiency and good applicability.

[0004] Embodiments of the present invention also provide a heat sink assembly.

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention also proposes a temperature control system.

[0006] An embodiment of the present invention also proposes a vehicle.

[0007] The radiator bracket of this invention includes a fixing member and a positioning member. The positioning member includes a positioning body and a retaining part disposed on the positioning body. One of the fixing member and the positioning body has an insertion part, and the other of the fixing member and the positioning body has a limiting part. The insertion part is detachably inserted into the limiting part. One of the insertion part and the limiting part is a deformable member. The retaining part has a retaining groove for slidingly engaging with the side of the radiator. It is understood that the radiator is detachably connected to the retaining part.

[0008] The radiator bracket of this invention consists of a fixing component and a positioning component, which are detachably connected by a limiting part and an insertion part. The positioning component's retaining groove engages with the side of the radiator, facilitating fine-tuning of the radiator's position after installation. Therefore, during radiator positioning and installation, the fixing component is first secured to the vehicle body, and then the radiator engages with the retaining groove of the positioning component. Even if there is a positional deviation between the fixing and positioning components, the positioning component can still be adjusted to achieve installation. Compared to related technologies where the positioning component is directly fixed to the radiator, reducing installation positioning accuracy, this radiator bracket of the present invention improves installation efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, when the model and size of the radiator change, the relative position of the radiator and the retaining slot can be adjusted to achieve a compatible assembly of that model and size of radiator. Therefore, the radiator bracket of this embodiment improves the applicability of the radiator bracket.

[0010] Therefore, the radiator bracket of the present invention has the advantages of high installation efficiency and good applicability.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixing member includes a fixing block and an insertion part extending outward from the fixing block. The insertion part is a deformable member. The positioning body is provided with a locking hole, which forms the limiting part. The insertion part passes through the locking hole and is held in the locking hole and can be pressed and deformed to disengage from the locking hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, the insertion portion includes a first elastic latch and a reinforcing platform connected to the fixing block. The reinforcing platform is disposed on one end of the fixing block, and a stepped surface is formed at the connection between the reinforcing platform and the fixing block. A gap exists between the reinforcing platform and the first elastic latch in a first direction. Both the first elastic latch and the reinforcing platform pass through the latch hole, and the first elastic latch and the stepped surface of the fixing block form a clamping space in a second direction. A portion of the positioning body is disposed within the clamping space, and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0013] In other embodiments, the insertion portion includes a first elastic latch, a reinforcing platform, and a second elastic latch disposed at one end of the fixing block. The reinforcing platform protrudes from one end of the fixing block to form a stepped surface on the fixing block. The first elastic latch, the reinforcing platform, and the second elastic latch are all disposed within the latching hole. The first elastic latch and the second elastic latch are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the reinforcing platform along a first direction, and each of the first elastic latch and the second elastic latch has a gap with the reinforcing platform. Each of the first elastic latch and the second elastic latch forms a clamping space with the stepped surface of the fixing block in a second direction. A portion of the positioning body is located within the clamping space, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0014] In some embodiments, the reinforcing platform has a first receiving groove, the opening of the first receiving groove and the first elastic latch are disposed opposite to each other in the first direction, a portion of the first elastic latch is disposed in the first receiving groove, and there is a gap between the first elastic latch and the bottom wall of the first receiving groove.

[0015] In some embodiments, the reinforcing platform has a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove. The opening of the first receiving groove and the first elastic latch are disposed opposite to each other in the first direction. The opening of the second receiving groove and the second elastic latch are disposed opposite to each other in the first direction. A portion of the first elastic latch is disposed in the first receiving groove, and there is a gap between the first elastic latch and the bottom wall of the first receiving groove. A portion of the second elastic latch is disposed in the second receiving groove, and there is a gap between the second elastic latch and the bottom wall of the second receiving groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, the reinforcing platform has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along the second direction, the first end being connected to the fixing block, and the outer periphery of the second end of the reinforcing platform having a chamfered portion.

[0017] In some embodiments, the fixing member includes a fixing block and an elastic arm beam extending outward from one end of the fixing block. The elastic arm beam is a deformable member. A limiting groove is formed between the elastic arm beam and the fixing block. The limiting groove forms a limiting part. The positioning body is plate-shaped and forms the insertion part. The positioning body passes through the limiting groove and is clamped between the fixing block and the elastic arm beam.

[0018] In some embodiments, the elastic arm beam includes a clamping wall panel portion and a guide arm plate portion formed by bending outward along one end of the clamping wall panel portion. The guide arm plate portion is disposed near the clamping portion relative to the clamping wall panel portion and close to the holding portion. A guide groove segment is formed between the guide arm plate portion and the fixing block, and the clamping wall panel portion and the fixing block form the limiting groove.

[0019] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on one side of the positioning body in the thickness direction, and the protrusion can abut against the guide arm plate.

[0046] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 The present invention describes a radiator bracket 100, a radiator assembly, a temperature control system, and a vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment includes a fixing member 2 and a positioning member 1. The positioning member 1 includes a positioning body 11 and a retaining part 12 disposed on the positioning body 11. One of the fixing member 2 and the positioning body 11 has an insertion part, and the other of the fixing member 2 and the positioning body 11 has a limiting part. The insertion part is detachably inserted into the limiting part. One of the insertion part and the limiting part is a deformable part. The retaining part 12 has a retaining groove 122 for slidingly engaging with the side of the radiator. It can be understood that the radiator 200 is movably connected to the retaining part 12.

[0049] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention is divided into a fixing member 2 and a positioning member 1, which are detachably connected by the cooperation of a limiting part and an insertion part. The side of the radiator 200 can be engaged in the retaining groove 122 on the positioning member 1, thus facilitating fine-tuning of the radiator 200's position after installation. Therefore, when positioning and installing the radiator 200, the fixing member 2 is first fixed to the vehicle body, and then the radiator 200 is engaged with the retaining groove 122 of the positioning member. Even if there is a deviation in the positions of the fixing member 2 and the positioning member 1, the positioning member can still be adjusted to achieve installation of the positioning member 1 and the fixing member 2. Compared to related technologies where the positioning member is directly fixed to the radiator, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention avoids the problem that the positioning member 1, installed on the radiator 200 housing, cannot cooperate with the fixing member 2 due to high installation accuracy requirements. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention helps to improve installation efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, when the model and size of the radiator 200 change (e.g., Figure 1 Even when the front-to-back direction changes, the radiator bracket 100 remains applicable. By changing the relative position of the radiator 200 and the retaining slot 122, the fitting and assembly of this type and size of radiator 200 can be achieved. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment improves the applicability of the radiator bracket 100.

[0051] Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of the present invention has the advantages of high installation efficiency and good applicability.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the fastener 2 includes a fastening block 21 and an extension extending outward from one end of the fastening block 21 (e.g., Figure 3 The upper end of the figure shows an insertion part 22. The insertion part 22 is a deformable part. The positioning body 11 is provided with a card hole 111. The card hole 111 forms a limiting part. The insertion part 22 passes into the card hole 111 and is inserted and held in the card hole 111.

[0053] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention divides the fixing member 2 into a fixing block 21 and an insertion part 22 extending outward from one end of the fixing block 21. The insertion part 22 is a deformable member that extends into and is engaged in a locking hole 111 and can be pressed and deformed to disengage from the locking hole 111. Disengagement of the insertion part 22 from the locking hole 111 can be achieved by pressing the insertion part 22. Therefore, it is beneficial for the installation and reuse of the radiator bracket. Furthermore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention improves the ease of assembling and disassembling the radiator 200.

[0054] In the first embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the insertion part 22 includes a first elastic latch 221 connected to the fixing block 21 and a reinforcing platform 222, the reinforcing platform 222 being disposed at one end of the fixing block 21 (e.g., Figure 3 On the upper end shown, a stepped surface 211 is formed at the connection between the reinforcing platform 222 and the fixing block 21. The reinforcing platform 222 and the first elastic latch 221 are positioned in a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 A gap 23 is present in the front-back direction shown in the diagram. The first elastic latch 221 and the reinforcing platform 222 are both inserted into the latch hole 111, and the first elastic latch 221 and the stepped surface 211 of the fixing block 21 are in the second direction (e.g., in the front-back direction shown in the diagram). Figure 3 The clamping space 24 is formed by the vertical direction shown in the figure. A part of the positioning body 11 is disposed in the clamping space 24, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] The heat sink bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention can improve the overall structural strength of the insertion part 22 by providing a reinforcing platform 222, thereby helping to extend the service life of the heat sink bracket 100.

[0056] Furthermore, by placing a portion of the positioning body 11 within the clamping space 24 formed by the first elastic latch 221 and the stepped surface 211 of the fixing block 21, the positioning body 11 can be further limited by the stepped surface 211 and the first elastic latch 221, preventing the positioning body 11 from being trapped within the clamping space 24 (as shown in the image). Figure 1 The vertical movement shown helps prevent the positioning body 11 from moving within the slot 111. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 has the advantage of high connection stability.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing platform 222 has a first receiving groove 2221. The opening of the first receiving groove 2221 and the first elastic latch 221 are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction. A part of the first elastic latch 221 is disposed in the first receiving groove 2221, and there is a gap 23 between the first elastic latch 221 and the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 2221.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention, by placing a portion of the first elastic latch 221 within the first receiving groove 2221 on the reinforcing platform 222, can be understood to have an overlap between the first elastic latch and the reinforcing platform 222 in the first direction. This helps to save space occupied by the insertion part 22, and the side wall of the first receiving groove 2221 can also play a certain guiding role when the insertion part 22 is pressed. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention has the advantages of saving space and further improving the stability of the structure.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer peripheral sidewall of the reinforcing platform 222 is provided with a first receiving groove 2221 with an opening facing forward.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, in the second embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the insertion part 22 includes a first elastic latch 221, a reinforcing platform 222, and a second elastic latch 223 disposed at one end of the fixing block 21. The reinforcing platform 222 protrudes from one end of the fixing block 21 to form a stepped surface 211 on the fixing block 21. The first elastic latch 221, the reinforcing platform 222, and the second elastic latch 223 are all inserted into the latch hole 111. The first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the reinforcing platform 222 along a first direction, and each of the first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 has a gap 23 between it and the reinforcing platform 222. Each of the first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 forms a clamping space 24 with the stepped surface 211 of the fixing block 21 in a second direction. A part of the positioning body 11 is located in the clamping space 24, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0061] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment divides the insertion portion 22 into a first elastic latch 221, a reinforcing platform 222, and a second elastic latch 223. The first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the reinforcing platform 222 along a first direction, that is, they are engaged with the latch holes 111 by the latches on both sides. Therefore, the positioning accuracy is more precise than that of a single-sided engagement structure, and the overall structural strength is high. Since elastic latches are provided on both sides, even if one elastic latch is damaged, it can still be used by using the elastic latch on the other side. Thus, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment helps to improve the lifespan of the entire insertion portion 22.

[0062] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the reinforcing platform 222 has a first receiving groove 2221 and a second receiving groove 2222. The opening of the first receiving groove 2221 and the first elastic latch 221 are in a first direction (e.g., Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the left and right directions, the second receiving groove 2222 and the second elastic latch 223 are arranged opposite each other in the first direction. A part of the first elastic latch 221 is disposed in the first receiving groove 2221, and there is a gap 23 between the first elastic latch 221 and the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 2221. A part of the second elastic latch 223 is disposed in the second receiving groove 2222, and there is a gap 23 between the second elastic latch 223 and the bottom wall of the second receiving groove 2222.

[0063] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention, by providing a first receiving groove 2221 and a second receiving groove 2222 on the reinforcing platform 222, with a portion of the first elastic latch 221 disposed in the first receiving groove 2221 and a portion of the second elastic latch 223 disposed in the second receiving groove 2222, helps to save space occupied by the insertion part 22. Furthermore, the sidewall of the first receiving groove 2221 provides a certain degree of limitation for the first elastic latch 221, providing a better guiding effect when the first elastic latch 221 is pressed. Similarly, the sidewall of the second receiving groove 2222 can also limit the second elastic latch 223. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention has the advantages of saving space and further improving structural stability.

[0064] Specifically, the outer peripheral sidewall of the reinforcing platform 222 is provided with a first receiving groove 2221 and a second receiving groove 2222 with the opening facing outwards, and the openings of the first receiving groove 2221 and the second receiving groove 2222 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, each of the first elastic latch 221 and / or the second elastic latch 223 includes an elastic rod portion and a locking tongue portion disposed at one end of the elastic rod portion. The elastic rod portion and the locking tongue portion have a gap 23 with the reinforcing platform 222 in the first direction, and the locking tongue portion and the fixing block 21 form a clamping space 24 in the second direction. A part of the positioning body 11 is clamped between the locking tongue portion and the stepped surface 211.

[0066] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention provides an elastic rod portion and a locking tongue portion at one end of each of the first elastic latch 221 and / or the second elastic latch 223, and clamps a portion of the positioning body 11 between the locking tongue portion and the stepped surface 211. After clamping, the positioning body 11 is prevented from shaking in the clamping space 24, which further improves the stability of the connection between the positioning body 11 and the fixing member 2.

[0067] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the spacing of the clamping spaces 24 in the second direction is the width H1 of the clamping spaces 24, and the thickness H2 of the positioning body 11 is greater than the width H1 of the clamping spaces 24. Further, H2 is slightly larger than H1, for example, H2 is 1mm-10mm larger than H1.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 is H3, and the width of the latch hole 111 in the first direction is H4. The dimension H3 in the free state is slightly larger than the dimension H4 of the latch hole 111 in the aluminum part. Thus, an interference fit is achieved, which has the advantage of good structural stability.

[0069] The distance between the upper conical surface of the first elastic latch 221 and the upper conical surface of the second elastic latch 223 in the first direction is H5, and H4 is slightly larger than the starting position dimension H5 of the upper part of the conical surface. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention helps to achieve the insertion and mating of the limiting part and the insertion part.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing platform 222 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction. The first end is connected to the fixing block 21, and the outer periphery of the second end of the reinforcing platform 222 has a chamfered portion 2223.

[0071] The heat sink bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention, through the chamfered portion 2223 provided on the outer periphery of the second end of the reinforcing platform 222, allows the locking hole 111 to be smoothly fitted onto the insertion portion 22, guiding its insertion and engagement, thereby improving the smoothness of installation.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixing block 21 has a receiving cavity 213 with an opening at the top. The receiving cavity 213 of the fixing block 21 bends inward to form a cantilever plate 212. The cantilever plate has a stepped surface 211. The first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223 both extend from the bottom wall of the receiving cavity toward its opening and protrude from the receiving cavity 213. Therefore, it not only helps to reduce weight, but also increases the length of the first elastic latch 221 and the second elastic latch 223. This improves the range of deformation and the effort-saving effect.

[0073] The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, in the third embodiment, as shown... Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the fixing member 2 includes a fixing block 21 and an elastic arm beam 3 extending outward from one end of the fixing block 21. The elastic arm beam 3 is a deformable member. A limiting groove 4 is formed between the elastic arm beam 3 and the fixing block 21. The limiting groove 4 forms a limiting part. The positioning body 11 is plate-shaped and forms an insertion part. The positioning body 11 passes through the limiting groove 4 and is clamped between the fixing block 21 and the elastic arm beam 3.

[0074] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention divides the fixing member 2 into a fixing block 21 and an elastic arm beam 3 extending outward from one end of the fixing block 21. The limiting groove 4 formed between the fixing block 21 and the elastic arm beam 3 clamps and limits the positioning body 11. The structure is not only simple, but also has good relative stability.

[0075] Optionally, the positioning body 11 has a long strip-shaped structure, and multiple anti-tipping protrusions can be provided on the positioning body 11. This ensures that the positioning body 11 and the limiting groove 4 have multiple positioning points, thereby accommodating heat sinks 200 of various sizes (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, when adjusting in the left and right directions, the positioning of the heat sink 200 can still be satisfied.

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, the fixing block 21 has a slot, and the two ends of the elastic arm beam 3 are connected to the two side walls of the slot, and the two side walls form a limiting edge, and the positioning body 11 is limited between the two limiting edges.

[0077] In this embodiment of the radiator bracket 100, a slot is cut into the fixing block 21, and the two ends of the elastic arm beam 3 are connected to the two side walls of the slot, with the positioning body 11 confined between two limiting edges. Thus, the limiting edges can limit and guide the positioning body 11. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment improves the stability and guiding performance of the cooperation between the fixing member 2 and the positioning member 1.

[0078] like Figure 10 As shown, the elastic arm beam 3 includes a clamping wall plate portion 31 and a guide arm plate portion 32 formed by bending outward along one end of the clamping wall plate portion 31. The guide arm plate portion 32 is disposed near the clamping portion 12 relative to the clamping wall plate portion 31. A guide groove is formed between the guide arm plate portion 32 and the fixing block 21, and a limiting groove 4 is formed between the clamping wall plate portion 31 and the fixing block 21.

[0079] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention divides the elastic arm beam 3 into a clamping wall plate portion 31 and a guide arm plate portion 32 formed by bending one end of the clamping wall plate portion 31 outward. A guide groove is formed between the guide arm plate portion 32 and the fixing block 21 to guide the positioning body 11. Therefore, the radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0080] like Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, a protrusion 112 is provided on one side of the positioning body 11 in the thickness direction, and the protrusion 112 can abut against the guide arm plate 32.

[0081] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention has a protrusion 112 on one side of the positioning body 11 in the thickness direction. The protrusion 112 can abut against the guide arm plate 32, which can prevent the positioning body 11 from being over-inserted.

[0082] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the holding part 12 is disposed on one end of the positioning body 11. The holding part 12 has an arc-shaped holding surface 121, which surrounds the holding groove 122.

[0083] The radiator bracket 100 of this embodiment of the invention has the advantages of good structural integrity and high structural strength by setting the holding part 12 and the positioning body 11.

[0084] The arc-shaped retaining surface 121 allows for a better fit against the sidewalls of the radiator, and also allows for fine-tuning of the radiator's position after installation. Therefore, when positioning and installing the radiator, the fastener is first fixed to the vehicle body, and then the radiator is fitted into the retaining slot.

[0085] Furthermore, the holding part 12 is integrally formed on one end of the positioning body 11 along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions.

[0086] Therefore, when snapping together, the snap-holding slot 122 can be roughly positioned with the heat sink 200, and then the insertion part 22 can be inserted into the snap-holding hole 111 of the positioning body 11 to achieve assembly.

[0087] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat sink assembly of this embodiment includes a heat sink 200 and a heat sink bracket 100 according to any one of the above. The heat sink 200 has an arc-shaped edge in the outer periphery. The number of heat sink brackets 100 is multiple, wherein at least two retaining portions 12 are arranged with openings along the width and / or length of the heat sink 200 and are opposite to each other. The heat sink 200 is movably engaged in the retaining groove 122.
