[0037] According to a first aspect of the present utility model, there is provided a radiator assembly for an electric vehicle, as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the radiator assembly for electric vehicles is used for vehicles, especially electric vehicles. Since the space of electric vehicles is relatively compact, a specially designed radiator cooling system is required in the overall vehicle layout. The radiator assembly for electric vehicles includes a radiator main body 1 and a fan main body 2.

[0038] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 9 Specifically describe the detailed structures of the radiator main body 1 and the fan main body 2 of the radiator assembly for electric vehicles.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, in the embodiment, the fan main body 2 is arranged on the radiator main body 1. When the wind brought by the rotation of the fan main body 2 and the natural wind blow towards the radiator main body 1, the wind can enter the radiator main body 1, take away the heat of the antifreeze in the radiator main body 1, and flow out from the other side of the radiator main body 1.

[0040] As Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment, the radiator main body 1 includes a mounting main plate 101 and cooling tubes 3. The cooling tubes 3 are installed on the mounting main plate 101, and the antifreeze flows inside the cooling tubes 3. The mounting main plate 101 is provided with a plurality of connecting through holes 103, and the cooling tubes 3 pass through the connecting through holes 103. As Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment, the number of the cooling tubes 3 is multiple. The ends of the multiple cooling tubes 3 pass through the connecting through holes 103 of the mounting main plate 101 to achieve fixation.

[0041] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in the embodiment, a first inclined angle 104 is formed between each connecting through hole 103 and the end face of the mounting main plate 101. Here, the inclined angle can be understood as the included angle between the extension line in the length direction of the connecting through hole 103 and the horizontal line parallel to the end face of the mounting main plate 101, that is, the cooling tubes 3 are inclinedly installed on the mounting main plate 101.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, in the embodiment, the fan body 2 includes a wind guard 201 and an electric fan 202. The wind guard 201 is disposed on the end face of the mounting main piece 101, and the electric fan 202 is disposed on the mounting surface 203 of the wind guard 201. The fan body 2 can include two parts. The function of the wind guard 201 is to guide air to flow towards the radiator body 1, increasing the contact area and flow rate between the surface of the radiator body 1 and the air, and accelerating heat dissipation. The function of the electric fan 202 is to be connected to the energy supply part of the vehicle through an electric connection line and drive the fan to rotate so that air flows into the interior of the wind guard 201. In the embodiment, due to the overall vehicle layout of the electric vehicle, the installation space of the radiator assembly is approximately triangular, so the shape of the wind guard 201 is also approximately triangular.

[0043] In summary, when the radiator assembly for the electric vehicle is installed on the electric vehicle, a second inclination angle 105 is formed between the end face of the mounting main piece 101 and the horizontal plane S2 (here the horizontal plane S2 can refer to the ground or the plane of the vehicle). The angle of the second inclination angle 105 is the same as the angle of the first inclination angle 104, so that the cooling pipe 3 is in the same direction as the wind direction, reducing the wind resistance of the radiator body 1 and improving the cooling efficiency. As Figure 2 shown is a schematic diagram of the state of the radiator assembly for the electric vehicle when installed on the electric vehicle. The electric fan 202 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane S2, so that the blown air is horizontal, and the cooling pipe 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane S2 and thus parallel to the wind flow direction. Due to the specially designed installation angle and installation structure, the radiator assembly for the electric vehicle can fully exert its cooling function and save energy.

[0044] Preferably, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment, the mounting main piece 101 can include a first end face 1013 and a second end face 1014. The first end face 1013 and the second end face 1014 are oppositely arranged. The fan body 2 is disposed on the first end face 1013, and the second end face 1014 is disposed on the electric vehicle. A plurality of connecting through holes 103 are inclinedly disposed between the first end face 1013 and the second end face 1014, so that the cooling pipe 3 is inclinedly installed between the first end face 1013 and the second end face 1014. The inclinedly installed cooling pipe 3 can increase the installation quantity of the cooling pipe 3 in a limited space.

[0045] Preferably, as Figures 3 to 6 shown, in the embodiment, the connecting through hole 103 is formed as an oval hole, and correspondingly, the shape of the cooling pipe 3 also matches the oval-shaped connecting through hole 103. The direction extending from the second end face 1014 towards the first end face 1013 is the first direction S1. The length of the connecting through hole 103 in the first direction S1 (in Figure 5 and Figure 6The middle (H) is less than the length of the kidney-shaped hole (in Figure 5 and Figure 6 the middle is G), H is the thickness of the effective heat dissipation core, and G is the thickness of the actual heat dissipation core. In this way, on the one hand, materials can be saved, and on the other hand, the heat dissipation efficiency is increased.

[0046] Preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment, the second end face 1014 is provided with a mounting bracket 106, and the second end face 1014 is mounted on the electric vehicle through the mounting bracket 106. The mounting bracket 106 can be used for auxiliary support.

[0047] Preferably, as Figure 7 shown, in the embodiment, the mounting main piece 101 may include a first main piece 1011 and a second main piece 1012. The first main piece 1011 is disposed at the first end of the cooling pipe 3, and the second main piece 1012 is disposed at the second end of the cooling pipe 3. The first main piece 1011 and the second main piece 1012 are both provided with connection through holes 103 having the same number. Both ends of the cooling pipe 3 are provided with a main piece for fixing.

[0048] Preferably, as Figure 7 shown, in the embodiment, the radiator body 1 further includes a first water chamber 401 and a second water chamber 402. The first water chamber 401 is communicated with the cooling pipe 3 through the first main piece 1011, and the second water chamber 402 is communicated with the cooling pipe 3 through the second main piece 1012. The antifreeze enters from the first water chamber 401, flows through the first end of the cooling pipe 3 to the second end of the cooling pipe 3, and then enters the second water chamber 402 and is discharged. The first main piece 1011 and the second main piece 1012 play a role in installation and connection. The first water chamber 401 is pressed and fastened to the first end of the cooling pipe 3 through the first main piece 1011, and the second water chamber 402 is pressed and fastened to the second end of the cooling pipe 3 through the second main piece 1012.

[0049] Preferably, as Figure 7 shown, in the embodiment, the number of the cooling pipes 3 corresponds to the number of the connection through holes 103 opened in the first main piece 1011 or the second main piece 1012. A heat dissipation belt 5 is provided between two adjacent cooling pipes 3. The heat dissipation belt 5 is used for auxiliary heat dissipation to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0050] Preferably, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in the embodiment, the second water chamber 402 is provided with an anti-misalignment protrusion 403, and the second main piece 1012 is provided with an anti-misalignment opening 107, and the anti-misalignment opening 107 is arranged corresponding to the anti-misalignment protrusion 403. Since the structure and shape of the first water chamber 401 are the same as those of the second water chamber 402, and they are installed symmetrically, in order to avoid installation errors, anti-misalignment marks need to be set. Similarly, the structure and shape of the first main piece 1011 are also the same as those of the second main piece 1012. In addition, since the second main piece 1012 overlaps with the second water chamber 402 in some places, the anti-misalignment opening 107 and the anti-misalignment protrusion 403 are provided to achieve anti-misalignment during installation and ensure the correctness of installation.

[0051] Preferably, as Figure 9 shown, in the embodiment, the air shroud 201 further includes a connecting surface 204, and the connecting surface 204 abuts against the end surface so that the air shroud 201 is installed on the installation main piece 101.

[0052] The installation surface 203 includes a first end 2031 and a second end 2032. The distance between the first end 2031 of the installation surface 203 and the connecting surface 204 (which is D in Figure 9 is less than the distance between the second end 2032 of the installation surface 203 and the connecting surface 204 (which is E in Figure 9 ). When the radiator assembly for electric vehicles is installed on an electric vehicle, in order to ensure that the electric fan 202 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane S2, the first end 2031 is located at the top of the second end 2032, ensuring that the wind brought by the electric fan 202 is parallel to the natural wind.

[0053] Through the cooperation of the radiator main body and the fan main body of the radiator assembly for electric vehicles, the cooling pipes are installed obliquely on the installation main piece, enabling more cooling pipes to be installed in the same space, improving the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, since the included angle of the installation main piece in the installed state is the same as the inclined included angle of the cooling pipes, it can be ensured that the cooling pipes are in a horizontal state with the wind brought by the fan main body, thereby ensuring that the radiator main body can fully exert its heat dissipation function.

[0054] In addition, according to the second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, and the vehicle includes the radiator assembly for electric vehicles as described above. During the use of the vehicle, by installing the radiator assembly for electric vehicles, the cooling and heat dissipation function of the radiator assembly can be fully exerted, improving the overall vehicle use efficiency and reducing energy consumption at the same time.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person skilled in the technical field of the present application can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; 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 all be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
