They will gradually replace traditional fuel buses and become the daily means of transportation for ordinary people. In recent years, the improvement of various performances of new energy vehicles has always been the focus of the industry.

[0003] In new energy vehicles, the intercooler is an air cooling device installed on the turbocharged engine.

[0036] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0037] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or uses.

[0038] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0039] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0040] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, an air guide device 1 is provided. The air guide device 1 is applied to an intercooler and a radiator arranged relatively to each other along a first direction; the air guide device 1 comprises: a mounting support 11, a winding mechanism 12 and a telescopic soft plate 13, the mounting support 11 is fixed to the intercooler; the winding mechanism 12 is installed on the mounting support 11;

[0042] The first side edge of the telescopic soft board 13 is connected to the winding mechanism 12, and the telescopic soft board 13 has a retracted state and an expanded state; in the retracted state, the telescopic soft board 13 is wound around the winding mechanism 12; the telescopic soft board 13 can be switched from the retracted state to the expanded state under the action of an external force, so that the second side edge of the telescopic soft board 13 moves away from the first side edge of the telescopic soft board 13 along the first direction; in the expanded state, the second side edge of the telescopic soft board 13 is fixed to the radiator.

[0043] The air guide device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied between the intercooler and the radiator located at the rear of the intercooler; the intercooler and the radiator are arranged relative to each other along a first direction, and the first direction corresponds to the X direction of the vehicle, that is, the direction between the front and rear of the vehicle.

[0044] The mounting bracket 11 of the air guide device 1 is fixed on the intercooler, and a winding mechanism 12 is mounted on the mounting bracket 11, and the winding mechanism 12 is further connected to a telescopic soft board 13, and specifically, a first side of the telescopic soft board 13 is fixedly connected to the winding mechanism 12. The telescopic soft board 13 has a contracted state and an expanded state. After the air guide device 1 is mounted on the intercooler, a force is applied to the telescopic soft board 13, and the telescopic soft board 13 switches from the contracted state to the expanded state. At this time, the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 moves away from the first side along the first direction until it moves to the radiator, and then the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 is fixed to the radiator.

[0045] The distance that the second side of the telescopic soft plate 13 moves away from its first side is determined according to the distance between the radiator and the intercooler. That is, the unfolded length of the telescopic soft plate 13 can be flexibly adjusted according to the distance requirements between the radiator and the intercooler, so as to be suitable for the installation requirements of different vehicle models, thereby improving the versatility of the air guide device 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the air guide device 1 is arranged between the intercooler and the rear radiator, which can fully utilize the grille air intake and the fan to increase the air intake volume of the intercooler, thereby lowering the engine's intake temperature, reducing the engine's pre-ignition and knock frequency, and improving the power and economy of the entire vehicle.

[0047] It is understandable that the unfolded state may refer to a state in which the structure between the first side and the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 is fully unfolded; or it may refer to a state in which the structure between the first side and the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 is partially unfolded. In the case where the distance between the intercooler and the rear radiator is large, the structure between the first side and the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 is fully unfolded, in which case the distance between the intercooler and the rear radiator is equal to the total length of the telescopic soft board 13. In the case where the distance between the intercooler and the rear radiator is small, the structure between the first side and the second side of the telescopic soft board 13 is partially unfolded, in which case the distance between the intercooler and the rear radiator is less than the total length of the telescopic soft board 13.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting support 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 100 , and the mounting support 11 is fixed to the intercooler by a fastener penetrating through the first mounting hole 100 .

[0049] In this specific example, a first mounting hole 100 is provided on the mounting support 11, and a second mounting hole is provided on the intercooler to match it. Fasteners are inserted into the first mounting hole 100 and the second mounting hole on the intercooler to achieve a detachable connection between the air guide device 1 and the intercooler, so that the air guide device 1 is easy to install and convenient to disassemble and repair. Optionally, the fasteners can be bolts or buckles.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting support 11 includes a mounting plate 111 and a support plate 112, the mounting plate 111 has a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface arranged opposite to each other, the first mounting surface is connected to the intercooler, and the support plate 112 is arranged on the second mounting surface; the winding mechanism 12 is installed on the support plate 112.

[0051] In this specific example, the mounting plate 111 included in the mounting support 11 is used to form a connection with the intercooler, and the support plate 112 included in the mounting support 11 is used to install the winding mechanism 12. The intercooler and the winding mechanism 12 will not interfere with each other.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the winding mechanism 12 includes an elastic member 121 and a reel 122, the elastic member 121 is mounted on the mounting support 11, and the end of the reel 122 is connected to the elastic member 121;

[0053] In the contracted state, the telescopic soft board 13 is wound around the reel 122 ; when the telescopic soft board 13 switches from the contracted state to the expanded state, the telescopic soft board 13 drives the reel 122 to rotate and causes the elastic member 121 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0054] In this specific example, when an external force is applied to the second side of the telescopic soft plate 13 to switch the telescopic soft plate 13 from the contracted state to the expanded state, the telescopic soft plate 13 drives the reel 122 to rotate, and the reel 122 further drives the elastic member 121 to undergo elastic deformation; after the second side of the telescopic soft plate 13 is fixed to the radiator, the elastic member 121 remains in an elastically deformed state, and due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 121, the second side of the telescopic soft plate 13 has a tendency to retract, thereby maintaining a certain degree of tension in the telescopic soft plate 13, and the expanded structure of the telescopic soft plate 13 is stretched very flat, thereby achieving good sealing between the intercooler and the rear radiator, and reducing the amount of leakage between the intercooler and the rear radiator after the air entering from the grille passes through the intercooler.

[0055] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, along the elastic deformation direction of the elastic member 121, one end of the elastic member 121 is fixed to the mounting support 11, and the other end of the elastic member 121 is connected to the end of the reel 122. Optionally, the elastic member 121 is a clockwork spring.

[0056] In this specific example, one end of the elastic member 121 along the elastic deformation direction is fixed to the mounting support 11, and the other end of the elastic member 121 along the elastic deformation direction is connected to the end of the reel 122; thus, in the process of the retractable soft board 13 driving the reel 122 to rotate, the reel 122 can drive the elastic member 121 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0057] In a specific example, the elastic member 121 is a clockwork spring, which is a spring with a spiral line in a plane; one end of the clockwork spring is fixed to the mounting support 11, and the other end of the clockwork spring is connected to the end of the reel 122; in the process of the telescopic soft plate 13 driving the reel 122 to rotate, the material is subjected to a bending moment after the torque is applied at the other end of the clockwork spring, thereby generating a bending elastic deformation, thereby meeting the expansion and contraction requirements of the telescopic soft plate 13.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting support 11 is provided with a receiving hole 110 , and the elastic member 121 is installed in the receiving hole 110 .

[0059] In this specific example, the spring as an elastic member is installed in the receiving hole 110 provided in the mounting support 11; in the embodiment where the mounting support 11 includes the mounting plate 111 and the support plate 112, the receiving hole 110 is provided in the support plate 112; the receiving hole 110 passes through the side of the support plate 112 along the second direction, and after the spring is installed in the receiving hole 110, the axial direction of the spring corresponds to the second direction. The receiving hole 110 is provided to facilitate the installation of the spring and provide a guiding effect on the bending elastic deformation of the spring.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the mounting bracket 11 and the number of the elastic member 121 are both two, the two mounting brackets 11 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, and each mounting bracket 11 is correspondingly installed with one elastic member 121;

[0061] One end of the reel 122 is connected to one of the elastic members 121 , and the other end of the reel 122 is connected to the other elastic member 121 .

[0062] In this specific example, two mounting supports 11 and two elastic members 121 are provided, and the two elastic members 121 are mounted on the two mounting supports 11 in a one-to-one correspondence; in this way, when the telescopic soft board 13 is unfolded, the scroll 122 can be simultaneously subjected to the elastic force of the two elastic members 121, thereby making the unfolding movement of the telescopic soft board 13 smoother.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is Figure 1 The a direction in the figure is the direction in which the telescopic soft board 13 is expanded and contracted; the second direction is Figure 1 The b direction is the axial direction of the scroll shaft 122.

[0064] In one embodiment, the telescopic soft plate 13 is made of soft plastic, soft rubber or soft cloth.

[0065] In this specific example, the material of the telescopic soft board 13 can be selected from materials with certain flexibility and elasticity such as soft plastic, soft rubber or soft cloth. These materials have good shape plasticity and high versatility, and can well meet the telescopic requirements of the telescopic soft board 13.

[0066] In addition, the reel 122 , the elastic member 121 and the mounting support 11 are all metal parts, thereby ensuring that the air guide device 1 has a solid structure and high reliability.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a first mounting portion 130 is provided on the second side of the telescopic flexible board 13 , and the telescopic flexible board 13 is connected to the heat sink via the first mounting portion 130 .

[0068] In this specific example, a first mounting portion 130 is provided on the second side of the telescopic soft board 13, and a second mounting portion is provided on the fixing bracket of the radiator, and the first mounting portion 130 is matched and connected with the second mounting portion. For example, the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion are both mounting holes, and the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion are indirectly matched and connected through bolts or buckles. Alternatively, one of the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion is a buckle and the other is a bayonet, and the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion are directly matched and connected.

[0069] Optionally, a plurality of first mounting portions 130 may be provided along the second direction, and the number and positions of the second mounting portions correspond to the first mounting portions 130 , thereby improving the stability of the connection between the telescopic flexible board 13 and the heat sink.

[0070] According to another embodiment of the present application, a cooling assembly is provided, wherein the cooling assembly comprises the air guide device 1 as described above, Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, it also includes an intercooler 2 and a radiator, and the mounting bracket 11 is fixed to the intercooler 2; in the unfolded state, the second side edge of the telescopic soft plate 13 is fixed to the radiator.

[0071] The cooling assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the above-mentioned air guide device 1. Since the air guide device 1 has strong versatility, it can well adapt and seal the intercooler 2 and the radiator.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the intercooler 2 includes an intercooler side plate 21 , and the mounting bracket 11 is fixed to the intercooler side plate 21 .

[0073] In this specific example, the mounting bracket 11 is fixedly mounted on the intercooler side plate 21. Since the length of the intercooler side plate 21 along the first direction is long, the contact area between the mounting bracket 11 and the intercooler side plate 21 is large, and the surface of the intercooler side plate 21 is relatively flat, the mounting bracket 11 can fit well with the intercooler side plate 21, thereby improving the installation strength of the air guide device 1.
