Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle cooling systems, in particular to a radiator and a car. Background Art

[0002] When a car is driving, accelerating, decelerating, or going uphill or downhill, the frame will pitch up and down, causing the radiator assembly mounted on the frame to vibrate and twist. The side panel assembly is directly connected to the frame via lugs and tie rods, resulting in relatively little vibration and twisting. However, the core water chamber assembly is located further away from the frame, subjecting it to relatively greater vibration and twisting. Excessive twisting of the core water chamber assembly can easily cause the cooling pipes to break, shortening the radiator's service life. Furthermore, when the radiator is operating, the high-temperature, high-pressure antifreeze fluid in the engine enters the radiator and flows to the cooling pipes, causing them to expand due to the heat and pressure. Excessive expansion can easily lead to pipe bursts, shortening the radiator's service life. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a radiator and a car to solve the problem that the core water chamber assembly in the existing car radiator is easily twisted, causing the cooling pipe to break and the cooling pipe is easily expanded, causing the pipe to burst, thereby reducing the service life of the radiator.

[0041] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a radiator is provided, which includes a core water chamber assembly and a reinforcement member 50 .

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the core water chamber assembly includes a core component and water chambers 10 arranged on both sides of the core component in the first direction D1, that is, two water chambers 10 are provided, one for water inlet and the other for water outlet.

[0043] Specifically, the core assembly includes cooling tubes 20, heat dissipation belts 30, and support members 40. Multiple cooling tubes 20 and heat dissipation belts 30 are alternately arranged along the second direction D2. Each cooling tube 20 and heat dissipation belt 30 forms a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction D1. The cooling tubes 20 communicate with the water chamber 10. The support members 40 are located at both ends of the core assembly in the second direction D2. In other words, the two support members 40 are arranged opposite each other on either side of the cooling tube and heat dissipation belt assembly in the second direction D2. Reinforcement members 50 are provided at both ends of the core water chamber assembly in the second direction D2 to reinforce the overall strength of the radiator.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the cross section of the support member 40 perpendicular to the first direction D1 is formed into a "["-shaped structure. Specifically, the support member 40 has a first support portion 41 formed on a side facing away from the cooling pipe 20. The first support portion 41 has second support portions 42 extending away from the cooling pipe 20 at both ends in the third direction D3. In this embodiment, the support member 40 is formed into a strip-shaped plate structure extending along the first direction D1.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the reinforcement member 50 is formed with a reinforcement portion that protrudes toward the support member 40. The reinforcement portion can be stamped from a plate to enhance the structural strength of the reinforcement member 50, thereby improving the overall strength of the heat sink. The reinforcement member 50 can be a sheet metal component to reduce manufacturing costs and reduce weight. The side of the reinforcement member 50 facing away from the reinforcement portion can be formed with a groove structure, allowing the reinforcement portion to protrude toward the support member 40.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the side of the reinforcement portion facing the first support portion 41 is formed as a first reinforcement portion 511 that can abut against the first support portion 41. When the cooling pipe 20 expands due to heat and pressure, the first support portion 41 and the first reinforcement portion 511 abut against each other to limit the expansion of the core assembly along the second direction D2, thereby limiting the expansion of the cooling pipe 20 and avoiding the bursting of the cooling pipe 20, thereby extending the service life of the radiator; and the side of the reinforcement portion facing the second support portion 42 is formed as a second reinforcement portion 512 that can abut against the second support portion 42, so as to limit the distortion of the support member 40, thereby limiting the distortion of the core water chamber assembly and further improving the service life of the radiator.

[0047] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcement member 50 is formed into a strip-shaped plate structure extending along the first direction D1, and the reinforcement portion is formed into a rectangular protruding structure.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first reinforcement portion 511 is arranged parallel to the first support portion 41, thereby increasing the contact area when the first reinforcement portion 511 abuts the first support portion 41, thereby improving the effectiveness and reliability of limiting the expansion of the cooling pipe 20; the second reinforcement portion 512 is arranged parallel to the second support portion 42, thereby increasing the contact area when the second reinforcement portion 512 abuts the second support portion 42, thereby improving the effectiveness and reliability of limiting the distortion of the core water chamber assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the support member 40 is provided with a strip-shaped through hole 43. The through hole 43 penetrates the first support portion 41 in the third direction D3 and extends to a portion of the second support portion 42. This divides the support member 40 into multiple sections in the first direction D1. This divides the support member 40 into regions affected to varying degrees by vibration and / or distortion, thereby reducing deformation of the support member 40 to a certain extent. In this embodiment, the through hole 43 can be formed in a linear, curved, or curved structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcement member 50 has connecting portions 52 extending toward the core water chamber assembly at both ends in the third direction D3 to cover a portion of the core assembly, thereby protecting the support member 40 .

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting portion 52 is formed with mounting portions 521 extending toward the core water chamber assembly at both ends in the first direction D1. The mounting portions 521 are connected to the water chamber 10 to achieve the installation of the reinforcement 50 and the core water chamber assembly. Specifically, the mounting portion 521 and the water chamber 10 can be connected by fasteners such as bolts.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a gap 60 is provided between the reinforcing portion and the support member 40 on both sides in the third direction D3 to prevent the support member 40 and the reinforcing member 50 from colliding with each other during vibration, thereby preventing the strength of the core water chamber assembly from being damaged.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, as 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the core assembly further includes a main piece 70 and an elastic member 80. Specifically, the main piece 70 is arranged on the side of the water chamber 10 facing the cooling pipe 20 and the heat dissipation belt 30. The main piece 70 is press-connected with the water chamber 10 to achieve the connection between the water chamber 10 and the plurality of cooling pipes 20. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the support member 40 has two ends in the first direction D1 formed with bent abutment portions 44. The abutment portions 44 engage with the main plate 70 to achieve positioning between the support member 40 and the main plate 70, ensuring a tight and reliable connection of the core assembly. The elastic member 80 is sandwiched between the main plate 70 and the water chamber 10. The elastic member 80 can be a rubber pad to provide a buffering effect and reduce the vibration of the core water chamber assembly.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cooling tube 20 , the heat dissipation belt 30 , the main plate 70 , and the support member 40 are welded to each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are arranged perpendicular to each other, that is, the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are arranged perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction D1 is the length direction of the support member 40, the second direction D2 is the length direction of the main piece 70, and the third direction D3 is the thickness direction of the radiator.

[0056] According to the radiator of the present invention, the first support portion of the support member can abut against the first reinforcement portion of the reinforcement member to limit the expansion of the cooling tube, thereby preventing the expansion of the cooling tube from causing a burst, thereby increasing the service life of the radiator. The second support portion of the support member can abut against the second reinforcement portion of the reinforcement member to limit the twisting of the support member, thereby limiting the twisting of the core water chamber assembly, thereby preventing excessive twisting of the core water chamber assembly from causing the cooling tube to break, further increasing the service life of the radiator and meeting the heat dissipation requirements during vehicle operation. In addition, the protruding reinforcement portion formed on the reinforcement member can increase the strength of the reinforcement member itself, thereby improving the overall strength of the radiator.

[0057] A second aspect of the present invention provides an automobile, comprising the radiator as described above, and thus having all the beneficial technical effects of the radiator, which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementation methods of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. The scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above-described embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the above-described embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features thereof.
