Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle components, in particular to a cooling module installation structure and a vehicle with the same. Background Art

[0002] Due to the limited frame space, the cooling module installation structure in the prior art requires that the width of the entire cooling module plus the cooling module installation bracket must be less than the left and right frame spacing before installation.

[0034] The cooling module installation structure 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the cooling module installation structure 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a cooling module 100 , a front connecting beam assembly 200 , a front lower protective structure 300 and a pull rod 400 .

[0036] The front connecting beam assembly 200 is located on both sides of the cooling module 100 and is suitable for being installed at the front end of the longitudinal beam 10. Both ends of the front lower protection structure 300 are installed on the front connecting beam assembly 200, and the cooling module 100 is installed on the front lower protection structure 300. The tie rod 400 is located on both sides of the cooling module 100, and both ends of the tie rod 400 on both sides are configured with connecting pieces, the connecting piece at one end is connected to the cooling module 100 by penetrating fasteners, and the connecting piece at the other end is connected to the front connecting beam assembly 200 by penetrating fasteners.

[0037] For example, the tie rod 400 is located on both sides of the cooling module 100, and one end of the tie rod 400 on both sides is fixedly installed on the upper side of the cooling module 100, and the front lower protective structure 300 is installed at the lower end of the cooling module 100 and the two ends of the cooling module 100 are stopped at the two ends of the front lower protective structure 300, and the front connecting beam assembly 200 is installed on the side of the front lower protective structure 300 away from the cooling module 100.

[0038] According to the cooling module mounting structure 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, the front connecting beam assembly 200 is located on both sides of the cooling module 100, and the remaining two sides of the cooling module 100 are fixed to the front connecting beam assembly 200 by the pull rod 400 structure. By connecting the four corners of the cooling module 100 with other structures to form a stable supporting structure, the cooling module 100 is fully supported and fixed, and the cooling module mounting structure 1 will be more stable, avoiding large vibrations of the cooling module 100 forward, backward, left and right during driving, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the engine and the vehicle.

[0039] In addition, the front beam assembly 200 and the tie rod 400 are respectively located around the cooling module 100, so that the available space in the longitudinal beam 10 is increased, the front area of ​​the cooling module 100 when dissipating heat is increased, the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling module 100 is improved, and the normal operation of the cooling module installation structure 1 is ensured. At the same time, since the bracket for fixing the cooling module 100 is arranged on the outside of the longitudinal beam 10, compared with the cooling module installation structure in the prior art that needs to consider the overall length of the installation bracket and the cooling module 100, the cooling module installation structure 1 of this embodiment can meet the increasingly higher heat dissipation requirements of the cooling module 100 according to the continuous improvement of the engine horsepower, and also improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling module 100.

[0040] Therefore, the cooling module installation structure 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages of increasing structural stability and improving heat dissipation capacity.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the cooling module 100 includes an intercooler radiator 110 and a cooling fan 120. The intercooler radiator 110 is mounted on the front lower protection structure 300. The cooling fan 120 is mounted on a side of the intercooler radiator 110 facing the engine.

[0042] As an important component of the cooling module 100, the intercooler radiator 110 is installed on the front lower protection structure 300, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated by cooling. Through the structure of the intercooler radiator 110, the cooling medium can circulate inside and absorb the heat from the engine, thereby achieving a cooling effect. At the same time, the cooling fan is installed on the side of the intercooler radiator facing the engine, which can accelerate the air flow, enhance the heat dissipation effect, and ensure the normal operation of the engine.

[0043] In short, through the coordinated operation of the cooling fan 120 and the intercooler radiator 110, the entire cooling module mounting structure 1 can more efficiently reduce the engine temperature, help protect the engine from overheating damage, ensure that the engine is in good working condition, and improve the performance and reliability of the entire vehicle.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the intercooler radiator 110 includes an intercooler 111, a radiator 112 and a mounting bracket 113. The tie rod 400 is mounted on both sides of the intercooler 111. The radiator 112 is arranged side by side on the side of the intercooler 111 facing the cooling fan 120. The mounting bracket 113 is mounted on both sides of the intercooler 111, and the mounting bracket 113 extends downward from the intercooler 111, and the mounting bracket 113 is mounted on the front lower protective structure 300.

[0045] The radiator 112 is arranged side by side with the intercooler 111, facing the side of the cooling fan 120, which can radiate heat to the outside air more effectively, and help accelerate the heat dissipation through the cooling fan 120 to improve the heat dissipation effect. The pull rod 400 is installed on both sides of the intercooler 111, and can also be installed on both sides of the radiator 112. By connecting the intercooler 111 and other components to enhance the stability of the overall structure, it helps to maintain the position and stability of the cooling module 100. The mounting bracket 113 is installed on both sides of the intercooler 111 and extends downward to the front lower protective structure 300, providing additional support, making the entire cooling module mounting structure 1 more solid and more stable, which is conducive to long-term operation and resistance to external vibration and other interference.

[0046] At the same time, the structure of the radiator 112, the intercooler 111 and the mounting bracket 113 makes the cooling module 100 more compact in space and more solid in structure, effectively utilizes the limited installation space, and improves the performance and heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling module installation structure.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, one side of the intercooler 111 is provided with an air inlet interface portion 101 extending backward, and the other side is provided with an air outlet interface portion 102 extending backward, and a pull rod 400 on one side is connected to the air inlet interface portion 101, and a pull rod 400 on the other side is connected to the air outlet interface portion 102. The structure of the air inlet interface portion 101 and the air outlet interface portion 102 can effectively guide air into the structure of the intercooler 111, so that the air can effectively flow through the intercooler 111, dissipate heat therein, and then be guided out of the cooling module 100.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet interface portion 101 is located at the top of one side of the intercooler 111, the air outlet interface portion 102 is located at the top of the other side of the intercooler 111, the pull rod 400 on one side of the cooling module 100 extends downward from front to back to the front connecting beam assembly 200 on one side, and the pull rod 400 on the other side of the cooling module 100 extends downward from front to back to the front connecting beam assembly 200 on the other side.

[0049] The air inlet interface 101 and the air outlet interface 102 are respectively located at the top of both sides of the intercooler 111, which is conducive to guiding the cooling air to flow smoothly into and out of the intercooler 111 to ensure the heat dissipation effect. By connecting the tie rod 400 to the front beam assembly 200, part of the weight and force can be shared, vibration and deformation can be reduced, the stability of the overall structure can be ensured, and the service life of the cooling module mounting structure 1 can be extended.

[0050] At the same time, the air inlet interface 101 and the air outlet interface 102 are located at the top of the intercooler 111, and the pull rod 400 is tilted and extends to the front connecting beam assembly 200, which effectively utilizes the upper space and makes the cooling module installation structure 1 more compact and has a higher space utilization rate.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple tie rods 400 on both sides of the cooling module 100, and the multiple tie rods 400 on each side are arranged obliquely from top to bottom. The multiple obliquely arranged tie rods 400 can also be a bent structure. The inclined tie rod 400 structure can increase the avoidance space on both sides of the cooling module 100 to prevent collision or interference between the tie rods 400 and other components. Through the inclined setting, the space is effectively utilized, conflicts and interferences are avoided, and the normal operation of the entire cooling system is ensured. At the same time, this structure can also increase the stability and strength of the cooling module 100, reduce vibration and deformation, and ensure the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the front lower protection structure 300 includes a lower guard plate portion 310, a front guard plate portion 320 and a side mounting portion 330. The lower guard plate portion 310 extends horizontally, and the cooling module 100 is mounted on the lower guard plate portion 310. The front guard plate portion 320 is connected to the front side of the lower guard plate portion 310, and the front guard plate portion 320 extends upward and tilted forward. The side mounting portion 330 is mounted on both ends of the lower guard plate portion 310 and the front guard plate portion 320, and the side mounting portions 330 at both ends are respectively mounted on the front connecting beam assembly 200 on both sides. Among them, the anti-collision bar cross beam is connected to both sides of the front connecting beam assembly 200 and is located at the top of the front lower protection structure 300, and the lower protection portion 310 and the front guard plate portion 320 are provided with multiple groups of heat dissipation holes. At the same time, the angle between the lower protection portion 310 and the front guard plate portion 320 is an obtuse angle.

[0053] The lower guard plate portion 310 can effectively protect the cooling module 100 and related components from impact and damage. The front guard plate portion 320 is connected to the front side of the lower guard plate portion 310, extending upward and tilted forward, further strengthening the protection of the bottom structure, and effectively preventing damage caused by bumps or gravel on the road during driving. At the same time, the setting of the side mounting portion 330 not only fixes the front lower protection structure 300, but also provides additional support to prevent the structure from deformation or loosening, ensuring the stability of the cooling module 100 under complex road conditions.

[0054] The heat dissipation holes are provided on the lower guard plate portion 310 and the front guard plate portion 320, which are conducive to increasing the surface area of ​​air entering the cooling module and promoting the transfer and dissipation of heat. Through these heat dissipation holes, hot air can escape smoothly, and the cooling effect is more efficient and stable, ensuring that the cooling module 100 and related components always maintain a suitable working temperature during operation.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the front connecting beam assemblies 200 on both sides are provided with mounting holes 201, and the two ends of the tie rod 400 are provided with tie rod fixing holes. The tie rod fixing hole at one end of the tie rod 400 is arranged with the mounting hole 201 and is suitable for being provided with fasteners together. The tie rod 400 can be firmly fixed to the front connecting beam assembly 200 by providing fasteners together between the tie rod fixing hole and the mounting hole 201. In this way, the tie rod 400 as a connecting piece can provide additional support and strength, enhance the stability and durability of the entire cooling module installation structure 1, help ensure the accurate positioning of the cooling module 100, and can also effectively resist the influence of vibration and external force to prevent it from loosening or falling off during driving.

[0056] At the same time, the installation position and angle of the cooling module 100 can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the distance between the tie rod fixing hole and the mounting hole 201. This adjustability can meet the needs of different vehicles or working conditions, so that the cooling module 100 can better adapt to different installation spaces and heat transfer requirements. Therefore, the structure can provide higher flexibility and adaptability, ensuring the optimization of the performance and efficiency of the cooling module mounting structure 1.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the distance between the front connecting beam assemblies 200 on both sides is greater in width in front of the longitudinal beam 10 than at the longitudinal beam 10. The front connecting beam assemblies 200 on both sides reduce the restriction on the size of the cooling module 100 on the outside of the longitudinal beam 10, which can provide greater flexibility and choice when installing the cooling module 100, can accommodate more large-sized heat dissipation devices, meet different heat dissipation requirements, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling module 100.
