Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the installation structure of vehicle radiators or cooling modules, and particularly relates to a radiator mount and a radiator support unit that can be assembled in pairs. Background Technique

[0002] Generally, the cooling module of a passenger car or a commercial vehicle includes core components such as a condenser and a radiator. As an important part of the engine cooling system, its function is to forcibly cool the engine to ensure that the engine water temperature is maintained at a reasonable state and prevent the engine water temperature from being too high and malfunctioning. The condenser and the radiator need to be connected to the vehicle frame through relevant installation structures to ensure their structural stability. In the prior art, most cooling modules use mounts to connect to the vehicle frame. One end of the radiator mount is connected to the vehicle frame, and the left end is connected to the radiator, which is used for the fixed connection between the radiator and the vehicle frame. And the radiator mount generally uses a rubber cushion. While supporting and connecting the radiator, the rubber cushion can provide load buffering between the radiator and the vehicle frame, improving the overall NVH performance of the vehicle.

[0003] Through retrieval, there are already relevant technical documents on radiator mounts, cushions, etc. in the prior art. For example, the utility model patent with the publication number "CN206690870U" and the name "Radiator fixing device". It discloses a radiator fixing device, which includes a fixing bracket; one end of the fixing bracket is used for fixedly connecting with the radiator, and the other end of the fixing bracket is used for fixing on the vehicle frame; a shock absorber pad is arranged at the end of the fixing bracket for fixing on the vehicle frame, a pressing block is arranged on the shock absorber pad, and a limiting shaft is arranged on the pressing block; the limiting shaft is inserted into the shock absorber pad. This prior art involves the shock absorber pad of the radiator, and also presents an assembly structure during installation, but there is no special assembly positioning member for the shock absorber pad body, nor a limiting member to prevent the displacement of the shock absorber pad. Instead, the two shock absorber pads are assembled and fixed by a single limiting shaft passing through them. When installing, it is necessary to align the connection holes between the shock absorber pad, the bracket, and the vehicle frame, and the installation is relatively inconvenient.

[0004] For example, an invention patent with the publication number "CN114604080A" and the name "A cooling module for commercial vehicles" is disclosed. A cooling module for commercial vehicles is disclosed, belonging to the technical field of commercial vehicle radiators, including: an intercooler, on both the intake chamber and the outlet chamber of the intercooler, a first shock-absorbing mechanism and a second shock-absorbing mechanism are provided. The first shock-absorbing mechanism is located above the intake chamber and the outlet chamber to connect the intercooler to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame, and the second shock-absorbing mechanism is located below the intake chamber and the outlet chamber to connect the intercooler to the front lower protection bracket; a radiator, which includes a radiator core, an upper water chamber, a lower water chamber, and core side plates fixedly located on both left and right sides of the radiator core. Fixed points for connecting the wind deflector are provided on the upper water chamber, the lower water chamber, and the core side plates. Installation holes for connecting the intercooler are respectively provided at both ends of the upper water chamber, and positioning pins for connecting the intercooler are respectively provided at both ends of the lower water chamber. In this prior art, the first shock-absorbing mechanism is the paired radiator soft pads, but this first shock-absorbing mechanism is similar to the above prior art and also has the technical problem that it is inconvenient to install because it is necessary to align the connection holes between the shock-absorbing pads, the brackets, and the vehicle frame during installation.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to propose a radiator mount and radiator support unit that can be paired and is simple and convenient to install in this field. Utility Model Content

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present utility model provides a vehicle radiator mount that can be paired, including a rubber body, a top plate connected to the top of the rubber body, and a bottom plate connected to the bottom of the rubber body. A central through hole is opened in the rubber body. The top of the rubber body has a limiting member for connecting to the vehicle frame, and the bottom of the rubber body further includes a paired positioning member, and the paired positioning member can provide connection positioning for mirror pairing of two mounts.

[0007] Further, the paired positioning member is a positioning post protruding from one side of the bottom surface of the rubber body and a positioning hole recessed on the other side of the bottom surface.

[0008] Further, the limiting member is a pair of limiting posts protruding from the top surface of the rubber body.

[0009] Further, a groove one is recessed on the top surface of the rubber body, and a groove two is recessed on the bottom surface. The top plate is embedded in the groove one, and the bottom plate is embedded in the groove two.

[0010] Further, the top plate has an upward bending portion one, and the bending portion one extends into the limiting posts.

[0011] Further, the bottom plate has a downward bending portion two, and the bending portion two extends into the positioning posts.

[0012] Further, a vertical hollow support column is connected to the center of the top plate, and the outer side wall of the hollow support column is connected to the inner side wall of the central through hole of the rubber body.

[0013] Further, a ring-shaped opening is formed by concave inward from the bottom surface to the top surface around the central through hole of the rubber body.

[0014] There is also provided a vehicle radiator support unit, including an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate connected to the radiator. It is characterized in that: there are also two vehicle radiator mounts that can be oppositely installed up and down. The two mounts are oppositely installed in an up-and-down mirror image. The bottom of the upper mount is connected to the upper connecting plate, the bottom of the lower mount is connected to the lower connecting plate, the limiting column at the top of the lower mount is connected to the vehicle frame, and the bolt passes through the central through holes of the upper mount, the upper connecting plate, the lower connecting plate, and the central through hole of the lower mount in sequence and then is locked and connected to the vehicle frame.

[0015] Further, both the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate are L-shaped connecting plates. The bottom of the upper mount and the bottom of the lower mount are both connected to the flat plate of the L-shaped connecting plate.

[0018] 2. The oppositely installable vehicle radiator mount proposed by the present utility model can, during actual installation, first connect one mount to the vehicle frame by using the limiting member to determine its position, and directly oppositely install the other mount by using the oppositely installed positioning member. After the positions among the two mounts and the bracket are determined, the bolt is passed through and locked. There is no need to adjust the alignment for installation, and the assembly is fast.

[0030] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1 to 5 shown.

[0032] A mating vehicle radiator mount includes a rubber body 31, a top plate 32 connected to the top of the rubber body 31, and a bottom plate 33 connected to the bottom of the rubber body 31. A central through hole 311 is provided in the rubber body 31. The top of the rubber body 31 has a limiting member for connecting to the vehicle frame, and the bottom of the rubber body 31 further includes a mating and positioning member, and the mating and positioning member can provide connection and positioning for mirror mating of two mounts.

[0033] The vehicle radiator mount proposed in this embodiment has the same structural limiting members and mating positioning members, and the same set of molds can be used for processing and forming during manufacturing. The top plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 are used as support connection components to cover the top and bottom of the rubber body 31. When mating the mounts, the bottoms of the two mounts can be mated through the mating positioning members at the bottom to form a mirror-image mating structure of the two mounts. When connecting the vehicle frame and the radiator with this mirror-image mating structure, both of the lower mounts bear pressure instead of tension when loaded, and the stability is better than that of a single soft pad mount. The limiting members provide positioning when the mount is installed on the vehicle frame and provide limiting when loaded to prevent displacement and detachment.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the mating positioning members are positioning posts 312 protruding from one side of the bottom surface of the rubber body 31 and positioning holes 313 recessed from the other side of the bottom surface. The positioning posts 312 and positioning holes 313 on the bottom surface of the rubber body 31 can be used as connection positioning parts for male-female plug-in mating during the mirror-image mating of the mounts, that is, the positioning post 312 of one mount is inserted into the positioning hole 313 of the other mount, so that there will be no gap between the two mating bottom surfaces of the mounts, and the connection is tight and the mating is convenient and fast. It should be noted that in order to ensure the accurate position matching of the positioning posts 312 and positioning holes 313 during mirror-image mating, the positioning posts 312 and positioning holes 313 should be located on the central axis of the bottom surface of the rubber body 31.

[0035] Another alternative embodiment can be seen Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the mating positioning members are two positioning plates one 312a protruding from one side of the bottom surface of the rubber body 31 and one positioning plate two 313a protruding from the other side of the bottom surface. The gap formed between the two positioning plates one 312a corresponds to the positioning plate two 313a. During mating, the positioning plate two 313a of one mount is snapped into the gap between the two positioning plates one 312a to form a mirror-image mating structure.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting members are a pair of limiting posts 314 protruding from the top surface of the rubber body 31. The limiting posts 314 can provide limiting and positioning when the mount is installed on the vehicle frame. Alternatively, the limiting members can also be protruding strip-shaped protrusions or other protruding structural forms.

[0037] A groove one 315 is recessed from the top surface of the rubber body 31, and a groove two 316 is recessed from the bottom surface. The top plate 32 is embedded in the groove one 315, and the bottom plate 33 is embedded in the groove two 316. The settings of the groove one 315 and the groove two 316 make the top plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 flush after being connected to the rubber body 31, and the whole mount becomes a regular shape. In this embodiment, the rubber body 31 is trapezoidal, and the load-bearing capacity of the rubber body 31 after mating is relatively better than that of a general rectangular shape.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the top plate 32 has an upward bending portion 321, and the bending portion 321 extends into the limiting post 314. The bottom plate 33 has a downward bending portion 331, and the bending portion 331 extends into the positioning post 312. Such a structural design enables rigid members to support the interiors of the limiting post 314 and the positioning post 312, and the local parts of the limiting post 314 and the positioning post 312 have better load-bearing capacity during the process of restricting the suspension displacement.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a vertical hollow support column 322 is connected to the center of the top plate 32, and the outer sidewall of the hollow support column 322 is connected to the inner sidewall of the central through hole 311 of the rubber body 31. The hollow support column 322 serves as a rigid support member to provide support for the interior of the rubber body 31, so as to improve the overall stiffness of the rubber body 31.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a ring-shaped opening 317 is recessed from the bottom surface to the top surface around the central through hole 311 of the rubber body 31. The ring-shaped opening 317 enables the rubber body 31 to have a certain deformation space when bearing pressure loads, and will not rupture due to overload, improving its fatigue performance.

[0041] Embodiment 2: As Figures 6 to 9 shown.

[0042] Based on the above Embodiment 1, a vehicle radiator support unit is proposed, which includes an upper connecting plate 34 and a lower connecting plate 35 connected to the radiator, and also includes two vehicle radiator suspensions that can be assembled face to face in Embodiment 1 above. The two suspensions are assembled face to face and mirror-imaged up and down. The bottom of the upper suspension is connected to the upper connecting plate 34, the bottom of the lower suspension is connected to the lower connecting plate 35, the limiting post 314 at the top of the lower suspension is connected to the vehicle frame, and the bolt passes through the central through hole 311 of the upper suspension, the upper connecting plate 34, the lower connecting plate 35, and the central through hole 311 of the lower suspension in sequence and then is locked and connected to the vehicle frame.

[0043] In this embodiment, the operation of assembling the two suspensions face to face and mirror-imaged up and down is convenient, and they can be inserted into each other through the male-female connection of the positioning post 312 and the positioning hole 313. When the limiting post 314 at the top of the lower suspension is connected to the vehicle frame, the limiting post 314 can be directly inserted into the mounting hole on the vehicle frame for positioning and limiting. After the position of the lower suspension and the vehicle frame is determined by the limiting post 314 and the positions of the upper and lower suspensions are determined by the cooperation of the positioning post 312 and the positioning hole 313, the process of the bolt passing through the central through hole 311 of the upper suspension, the upper connecting plate 34, the lower connecting plate 35, and the central through hole 311 of the lower suspension in sequence does not require repeated adjustment of the positions of each component, and the entire assembly process is fast and convenient.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, both the upper connecting plate 34 and the lower connecting plate 35 are L-shaped connecting plates 36. The bottom of the upper suspension and the bottom of the lower suspension are both connected to the flat plate 361 of the L-shaped connecting plate 36. Through holes corresponding to the positioning posts 312 and the positioning holes 313 are formed in the flat plate 361. The positioning posts 312 of the upper and lower mirror-mounted suspensions pass through the through holes and are embedded in the positioning holes 313. The vertical plate 362 of the L-shaped connecting plate 36 is connected to the radiator.
