Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radiator structures, and in particular to a radiator. Background Art
[0002] When the radiator is working, the hot water from the engine radiates, causing the core assembly of the radiator to expand due to heat; when the radiator is not working, the core assembly of the radiator will shrink. However, in the existing radiator, when the core assembly expands or shrinks, the core assembly is fixed in all directions, and the stress generated cannot be released, which can easily lead to the rupture and failure of the cooling pipe inside the core assembly, thereby affecting the service life of the entire radiator. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a radiator to solve the problem that the stress generated by the core assembly of the existing radiator cannot be released when it expands or contracts.

[0006] The plate assembly includes two side plates respectively arranged at both ends of the core assembly in the width direction; the first end and the second end of each side plate in the length direction are respectively connected to the first water chamber and the second water chamber, and along the length direction of the core assembly, the second end of the side plate and the second water chamber can move relative to each other.
[0007] Preferably, first connecting parts are respectively formed at both ends of the first water chamber in the length direction.
[0008] Preferably, the first connecting portion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion is located at an end surface of the first water chamber in a length direction, and the second protrusion is located at an end surface of the first water chamber in a width direction.
[0009] Preferably, a first through hole and a second through hole are formed at a first end of the side plate in the length direction, and the first through hole and the second through hole are respectively adapted to correspond to the first protrusion and the second protrusion.
[0010] Preferably, the first connecting portion also includes a first connecting hole, and a third through hole corresponding to the first connecting hole is formed at the first end of the side plate in the length direction, and the first connecting hole is formed as a threaded hole; corresponding first connecting parts are arranged in the first connecting hole and the third through hole.
[0011] Preferably, second connecting parts are respectively formed at both ends of the second water chamber in the length direction.
[0012] Preferably, the second connecting portion includes a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion, the third protrusion is located at an end surface of the second water chamber in a length direction, and the fourth protrusion is located at an end surface of the second water chamber in a width direction.
[0013] Preferably, a fourth through hole and a fifth through hole are formed at the second end in the length direction of the side plate; along the length direction of the core assembly, both ends of the fourth through hole form a gap with the third protrusion, and both ends of the fifth through hole form a gap with the fourth protrusion.
[0014] Preferably, the second connecting portion also includes a second connecting hole, and a sixth through hole corresponding to the second connecting hole is formed at the second end of the side plate in the length direction, and the second connecting hole is formed as a threaded hole; corresponding second connecting members are arranged in the second connecting hole and the sixth through hole.

[0016] According to the radiator of the utility model, along the length direction of the core assembly, the second end of the side plate in the plate assembly can move relative to the second water chamber. Therefore, during the operation of the radiator, when the core assembly of the radiator is heated and expanded, the side plate is away from the heat source and does not expand, and the second water chamber moves relative to the side plate in a direction away from the first water chamber, so that the thermal stress is released; when the radiator is not working, that is, the core assembly shrinks, the second water chamber moves relative to the side plate in a direction close to the first water chamber, so that the shrinkage force is released, which can effectively reduce the possibility of the cooling pipe breaking and failing, thereby effectively increasing the service life of the radiator.

[0033] The utility model provides a radiator, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the radiator in this embodiment includes a core assembly and a plate assembly connected to the core assembly, the core assembly is provided with a core assembly 10 and a first water chamber 11 and a second water chamber 12 connected to both ends of the core assembly 10 in the length direction; the plate assembly includes two side plates 20 respectively provided at both ends of the core assembly in the width direction. Hereinafter, the specific structure of the above-mentioned parts of the radiator according to the utility model will be described in detail.
[0034] It should be noted that the core assembly 10 (including cooling pipes, etc.), the first water chamber 11, the second water chamber 12 and the two side panels 20 are all conventional components in existing radiators, so the specific structures and assembly relationships of the above components will not be repeated.
[0035] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first end and the second end of each side plate 20 in the length direction are respectively connected to the first water chamber 11 and the second water chamber 12. Specifically, first connection parts are respectively formed at both ends of the first water chamber 11 in the length direction (i.e., both ends of the core assembly 10 in the width direction). The first connection part includes a first bump 110 and a second bump 111. The first bump 110 is located at the end face of the first water chamber 11 in the length direction, and the second bump 111 is located at the end face of the first water chamber 11 in the width direction (i.e., the thickness direction of the core assembly 10). There are no specific restrictions on the shapes, sizes, etc. of the first bump 110 and the second bump 111. For example, the first bump 110 and the second bump 111 in this embodiment are both formed into a structure similar to the Chinese character "field". In addition, the first connection part further includes a first connection hole, which is formed as a threaded hole and is provided on the side of the second bump 111.
[0036] Correspondingly, a first through hole 200 and a second through hole 201 are formed at the first end of the side plate 20 in the length direction, which are respectively adapted to the first bump 110 and the second bump 111; in addition, a third through hole 202 corresponding to the first connection hole is further formed at the first end of the side plate 20 in the length direction. When the side plate 20 is assembled with the first water chamber 11, the first bump 110 and the second bump 111 are respectively assembled with the first through hole 200 and the second through hole 201, and there is no gap between the first bump 110 and the first through hole 200 and between the second bump 111 and the second through hole 201; further, a first connecting member 112 (which can be an ordinary screw) is sequentially inserted into the third through hole 202 and the first connection hole, and is correspondingly connected to the third through hole 202 and the first connection hole, and there is no gap between the first connecting member 112 and the third through hole 202 and the first connection hole.
[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, second connection parts are respectively formed at both ends of the second water chamber 12 in the length direction. The second connection part includes a third bump 120 and a fourth bump 121. The third bump 120 is located at the end face of the second water chamber 12 in the length direction, and the fourth bump 121 is located at the end face of the second water chamber 12 in the width direction. Correspondingly, a fourth through hole 203 and a fifth through hole 204 are formed at the second end of the side plate 20 in the length direction; along the length direction of the core assembly 10, a gap is formed between both ends of the fourth through hole 203 (i.e., Figure 3 the top end and the bottom end of the fourth through hole 203 in the above) and the corresponding side edges of the third bump 120, and a gap is formed between both ends of the fifth through hole 204 (i.e., Figure 3 the top end and the bottom end of the fifth through hole 204 in the above) and the corresponding side edges of the fourth bump 121.
[0038] Furthermore, the second connection portion further includes a second connection hole, which is formed as a threaded hole and is disposed on the side of the fourth protrusion 121. A sixth through hole 205 corresponding to the second connection hole is formed at the second end of the side plate 20 in the length direction. The second connection hole and the sixth through hole 205 are provided with corresponding second connection members 122. Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting member 122 in this embodiment is formed with a cylindrical section 1221 and a threaded section 1220 connected in sequence, the threaded section 1220 is adapted to correspond to the second connecting hole, and the outer diameter of the cylindrical section 1221 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sixth through hole 205, and along the axial direction of the second connecting member 122, the length of the cylindrical section 1221 is greater than the depth of the sixth through hole 205 (that is, the thickness of the corresponding side wall of the side plate 20), that is, a gap is also formed between the second connecting member 122 and the side plate 20.
[0039] Thus, in this embodiment, the first end of the side plate 20 in the length direction forms a firm and tight connection with the first water chamber 11, that is, there is no relative movement between the first end of the side plate 20 and the first water chamber 11; and based on the existence of the gap between the side plate 20 and the second water chamber 12, the second end of the side plate 20 and the second water chamber 12 can move relative to each other; further, based on the surrounding structure of the side plate 20, both ends of the core assembly in the thickness direction and both ends of the core assembly in the width direction are limited, that is, the direction of relative movement between the side plate 20 and the second water chamber 12 is the same as the length direction of the core assembly.
[0040] In addition, a limiting segment 1222 is provided at the end of the cylindrical segment 1221 of the second connecting member 122 away from the threaded segment 1220 so as to further limit the core assembly in the thickness direction.
[0041] According to the radiator of the utility model, along the length direction of the core assembly, the second end of the side plate 20 in the plate assembly can move relative to the second water chamber 12. Therefore, during the operation of the radiator, when the core assembly of the radiator is heated and expanded, the side plate 20 is away from the heat source and does not expand, and the second water chamber 12 moves relative to the side plate 20 in a direction away from the first water chamber 11, so that the thermal stress is released; when the radiator is not working, that is, the core assembly shrinks, the second water chamber 12 moves relative to the side plate 20 in a direction close to the first water chamber 11, so that the shrinkage force is released, which can effectively reduce the possibility of the cooling pipe breaking and failing, thereby effectively improving the service life of the radiator.
[0042] 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 protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the above-described embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that any technician familiar with the technical field can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above-described embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, or can easily think of changes, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
