DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0031] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction" are used based on Figure 1 and Figure 2"Inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside of the outline of each component itself. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another element and have no order or importance. In addition, when the following description refers to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, and this disclosure will not repeat them.

[0032] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a fixing structure for an intercooler 10 is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in , the fixing structure includes a shell 1 and a limiting structure 2, the shell 1 includes a first sub-shell 11 and a second sub-shell 12 that are detachably connected, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 enclose a accommodating cavity 13 and a first avoidance opening 15 and a second avoidance opening 16 that are opposite to each other in a first direction, the limiting structure 2 is arranged at the shell 1 adjacent to the first avoidance opening 15 and / or the second avoidance opening 16 and extends along the second direction, so as to provide a limit in the first direction for the intercooler 10, and the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0033] According to the above technical solution, in the fixing structure for the intercooler 10 provided by the present disclosure, when the fixing structure is assembled with the intercooler 10, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 can be separated first, and then the first sub-shell 11 and the intercooler 10 can be assembled together, and then the second sub-shell 12 can be buckled on the intercooler 10, and the second sub-shell 12 and the first sub-shell 11 can be connected together. At this time, the core 103 of the intercooler 10 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 13, and the first air chamber 101 and the second air chamber 102 of the intercooler 10 are respectively arranged from the first avoidance cavity 13. The first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 extend out of the first and second avoidance openings 15 and 16. At this time, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 use the accommodating cavity 13 formed by the two to clamp the intercooler 10 and wrap the intercooler 10. In addition, the limiting structure 2 can limit the intercooler 10 from the position adjacent to the first avoidance opening 15 and / or the position adjacent to the second avoidance opening 16. In this way, through the clamping of the intercooler 10 by the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the limiting of the intercooler 10 by the limiting structure 2, a reliable connection between the fixed structure and the intercooler 10 can be achieved, thereby improving the reliability of the intercooler after being installed on the engine. Compared with the rigid connection method of welding the intercooler 10 and the fixed structure in the related art, the fixed structure of the present invention is not rigidly connected to the intercooler 10, that is, the fixed structure of the present invention can be detachably connected to the intercooler 10, thereby preventing most of the force of the fixed structure from directly acting on the intercooler 10, and preventing the intercooler 10 from being damaged prematurely. In addition, since the fixing structure can be detachably connected to the intercooler 10, the fixing structure of the present invention can be adapted to various types of intercoolers 10 with small size differences or small shape differences, thereby improving its own versatility.

Then, the second sub-shell 12 is buckled on the first sub-shell 11, and the second limit platform 22 and the sixth limit platform 26 on the second sub-shell 12 are abutted against the first air chamber 101, and the fourth limit platform 24 on the second sub-shell 12 is abutted against the second air chamber 102. Subsequently, each pair of side plates 17 are connected together by fasteners to realize the assembly of the intercooler 10 and the fixed structure.

[0058] According to the third aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided, comprising an engine and an intercooler assembly as described above, wherein the above-mentioned fixed structure further comprises a connecting bracket 4, which is connected between the engine and the housing, so as to realize the connection between the intercooler assembly and the engine. The vehicle has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned intercooler 10, which will not be described in detail in the present disclosure. Here, the intercooler can be connected to one of the front side, rear side, left side, right side and upper side of the engine, that is, the specific position of the intercooler can be adaptively designed as needed in the present disclosure, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In addition, in some embodiments, since the same type of intercooler needs to be installed on different types of engines, the present disclosure can make the fixed structure adapt to different types of engines by adjusting the shape and / or size of the first sub-housing 11, and similarly, the fixed structure can also be adapted to different types of engines by adjusting the shape and / or size of the second sub-housing 12, thereby, the same type of intercooler can be installed on different types of engines through the fixed structure, thereby effectively improving the versatility of the intercooler by using the fixed structure.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , a plurality of first connecting arms 111 are provided on the first sub-shell 11, and a connecting bracket 4 is connected to at least one of the first connecting arms 111. The connecting bracket 4 is used to be detachably connected to the engine through a fastener. Here, the connecting bracket 4 can be used to extend the connection distance between the fixed structure and the engine, so that the fixed structure can be adapted to different types of engines, thereby improving the versatility of the fixed structure. Here, the present disclosure does not limit the specific shape of the connecting bracket 4. For example, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , the connecting bracket 4 can be configured as a Z shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting bracket 4 can be configured as an L shape, a W shape, or other shapes, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 may be made of plastic material, and the connecting bracket 4 may be made of metal material, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0061] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0062] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0063] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
