Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine water tanks, in particular to a cooling water tank structure for an automobile engine. Background Art

[0002] In an automobile engine cooling system, a cooling water tank is one of the key components. A water pump installed on the engine drives the coolant to flow between the cooling water tank and the engine, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining the working temperature of the engine.

[0003] After retrieval, Chinese Patent No. CN202222893907.8 discloses a water tank for engine cooling, which includes an upper box body and a lower box body. The upper box body and the lower box body are connected by a plurality of pipes, and a gap for ventilation is left between adjacent pipes. An outlet is arranged on the upper box body, and an inlet is arranged on the lower box body. This device has the effect of improving the cooling effect of the engine by water circulation.

[0004] The above patent realizes the effect of improving the cooling of the engine by water circulation by setting structures such as the upper box body, the lower box body and the outlet. However, it can be seen from the above patent drawings that this device uses water circulation to absorb and dissipate the heat of the engine, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the engine. However, the space in the automobile engine compartment is limited. As a relatively large component, the cooling water tank is prone to interference with other components during installation, and the installation difficulty is relatively high. Therefore, we propose a cooling water tank structure for an automobile engine. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the defects existing in the prior art, and to propose a cooling water tank structure for an automobile engine.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A cooling water tank structure for an automobile engine includes an upper box body. A lower box body is arranged below the upper box body. The upper box body and the lower box body are connected by a plurality of corrugated hoses. A liquid injection pipe is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the upper box body. A set of symmetrically arranged adjusting mechanisms are fixedly connected between the upper box body and the lower box body.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the adjusting mechanism includes an upper connecting frame movably sleeved at one end of the upper box body and a lower connecting frame movably sleeved at one end of the lower box body. A set of symmetrically arranged telescopic columns are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the lower connecting frame, and the other ends of the telescopic columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connecting frame. A fixing block is fixedly installed in the middle of a set of telescopic columns, and a mounting block is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixing block. A threaded rod is arranged through the middle of the fixing block and the mounting block. A rotating block is sleeved on the upper end of the threaded rod, and the top of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to a top plate, and the other end of the top plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connecting frame.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a T-shaped notch is fixedly opened inside the mounting block, and a mounting convex block is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the rotating block. The mounting block and the mounting convex block are rotationally connected through the engagement of the T-shaped notch and the mounting convex block.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the end of the threaded rod far from the top plate is fixedly connected to a moving block, and both ends of the moving block are sleeved on the telescopic column.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a certain gap is left between several groups of corrugated hoses; wherein, the material of the corrugated hose has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and has high ductility.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] By setting components such as telescopic columns, moving blocks, and threaded rods, the present utility model simplifies the installation of the device and improves the practicability of the device at the same time. The staff only needs to rotate the rotating block, and the threaded rod can drive the top plate to push the upper box body upward, changing the distance between the upper box body and the lower box body. When the staff installs the water tank, the device can be placed in the engine compartment of the vehicle first, and then the distance between the upper box body and the lower box body can be adjusted, which not only avoids interference between the water tank and other components during the installation process, but also reduces the installation difficulty. The corrugated hoses set in the device can not only change their lengths with the change of the distance between the upper box body and the lower box body, but also, due to their high ductility and high temperature resistance and wear resistance, greatly improve the service life and cooling effect of the present device.

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model;

[0021] Refer to Figures 1-3 , a cooling water tank structure for an automobile engine, including an upper box body 1, a lower box body 2 is arranged below the upper box body 1, the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 are communicated through a plurality of corrugated hoses 5, a liquid injection pipe 15 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the upper box body 1, and a set of symmetrically arranged adjusting mechanisms are fixedly connected between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2.

[0022] The water tank is divided into an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2, and the two are communicated through a corrugated hose 5. This design enables a certain thermal expansion space between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2. At the same time, due to the ductility of the corrugated hose 5, when installing, the staff can first shorten the distance between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2, and then control the distance between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 through the adjusting mechanism until the device can be installed tightly in the automobile engine compartment. This not only avoids interference between the water tank and other components during the installation process, but also reduces the installation difficulty.

[0023] As an alternative embodiment, the adjusting mechanism includes an upper connecting frame 3 movably sleeved at one end of the upper box body 1 and a lower connecting frame 4 movably sleeved at one end of the lower box body 2. On both sides of the upper end of the lower connecting frame 4, a set of symmetrically arranged telescopic columns 6 are fixedly installed. The other end of the telescopic column 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connecting frame 3. In the middle of a set of telescopic columns 6, a fixing block 7 is fixedly installed. In the middle of the fixing block 7, a mounting block 10 is fixedly installed. A threaded rod 9 is arranged through the middle of the fixing block 7 and the mounting block 10. A rotating block 11 is sleeved on the upper end of the threaded rod 9. The top of the threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to a top plate 12. The other end of the top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connecting frame 3.

[0024] The staff can rotate the rotating block 11, so that the threaded rod 9 drives the top plate 12 to push against the upper box body 1 to move upward, thereby changing the distance between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2. Only by simply rotating the rotating block 11, the height adjustment of the water tank can be realized, which not only optimizes the installation steps of the water tank, but also improves the applicability of the water tank.

[0025] As an alternative embodiment, a T-shaped notch 13 is fixedly formed inside the mounting block 10. An installation convex block 14 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the rotating block 11. The mounting block 10 and the installation convex block 14 are rotationally connected through the engagement of the T-shaped notch 13 and the installation convex block 14.

[0026] When the rotating block 11 is installed on the mounting block 10, the installation convex block 14 will be inserted into the T-shaped notch 13 to form an engagement effect. This engagement effect not only ensures the stable connection between the rotating block 11 and the mounting block 10, but also allows the rotating block 11 to perform a rotational movement within the T-shaped notch 13. When the rotating block 11 is rotated, the installation convex block 14 will rotate correspondingly within the T-shaped notch 13, thereby driving the connected threaded rod 9 to move up and down, and further driving the upper connecting frame 3 to perform telescopic adjustment relative to the lower connecting frame 4.

[0027] As an alternative embodiment, a moving block 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 9 away from the top plate 12. Both ends of the moving block 8 are sleeved on the telescopic column 6.

[0028] The sleeving effect of the telescopic column 6 and the moving block 8 ensures the stability of the moving block 8 during movement, so as to improve the stability of the entire device.

[0029] Preferably, there is a certain gap between several groups of corrugated hoses 5; among them, the material of the corrugated hose 5 has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and high ductility.

[0030] The high ductility and clearance setting of the corrugated hose 5 work together to effectively absorb and relieve stress and displacement caused by temperature changes or mechanical vibrations. This helps reduce the impact and damage to the entire cooling system, improving the stability and reliability of the system. Due to the high ductility and high temperature and wear resistance of the corrugated hose 5, the service life and cooling effect of the device are greatly improved.

[0031] When the present utility model is in use, the staff connects the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 through the corrugated hose 5, then places the device in the engine compartment of the vehicle, and then turns the rotary block 11, so that the threaded rod 9 drives the top plate 12 to abut against the upper box body 1 and move upward. Due to the ductility of the corrugated hose 5, its length can change with the change of the distance between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 until the device is firmly clamped in the engine compartment, and then coolant is injected into the device through the liquid injection pipe 15 to complete the installation of the device.

[0032] Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the discussion of any embodiment above is only exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present utility model (including the claims) is limited to these examples; under the idea of the present utility model, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present utility model as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity.

[0033] The present utility model aims to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omission, modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
