Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of radiators, and specifically to a radiator assembly. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, people's requirements for the comfort and drivability of automobiles are getting higher and higher. An automobile is no longer just a means of transportation, but also needs to provide excellent drivability, power performance, comfort, low noise, etc.

[0003] This also poses more requirements for the automotive cooling system.

[0004] The radiator is the most important component in the cooling system, which determines the cooling performance of the whole vehicle; the position of the radiator affects its cooling performance; the fixing structure between the radiator and the front cabin body components affects the shock absorption effect. If the shock absorption effect is not good, after the vehicle starts, the vibration generated by the cooling fan is transmitted to the passenger compartment through the body, affecting the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.

[0005] In traditional designs, in order to overcome the problem of noise generated by vibration of the automotive radiator during operation, buffer soft pads are designed at the connection and installation positions between the radiator and the body frame. Currently, the upper and lower buffer soft pads of the radiator are inserted into the body frame structure, and being tightly pressed up and down can ensure that the radiator will not vibrate and come out during vehicle operation, but this also makes the assembly of the radiator difficult;

[0006] The upper and lower buffer soft pads of the radiator are inserted into the body frame structure. To ensure that the radiator is firmly and reliably assembled and will not vibrate and come out during vehicle operation, it is necessary to tightly press the upper and lower buffer soft pads against the body frame. During the assembly process, force is required to cause partial compression deformation of the radiator and the buffer soft pads before they can be assembled into the body frame, resulting in difficult assembly of the radiator into the body frame.

[0007] The existing patent 202310021818.0 - An automotive radiator with double shock absorption functions and safe and efficient heat dissipation does not clearly disclose the technical content for solving the above technical problems.

[0008] Therefore, in order to improve or solve at least one of the above problems, it is necessary to optimize the design of the existing radiator structure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0058] An assembly method for the radiator assembly 2, the assembly method comprising the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Determine the radiator 21 to be installed and the vehicle body frame 1;

[0060] Step 2: Horizontally push the radiator 21 determined in Step 1 so that it moves along the upper mounting frame 2-1 on the vehicle body frame 1;

[0061] Until the end face of the upper mounting pad 231 is in contact with the end plate 223 in the upper mounting frame 2-1;

[0062] Then use the fastening bolt 2-2 to fasten the upper mounting pad 231;

[0063] Step 3: After Step 2 is completed, the installation of one radiator 21 is completed. If it is necessary to repeat the installation of a new radiator assembly 2, just repeat Steps 1-2.

[0064] Based on the above assembly method, the installation and fixation of the radiator 21 on the vehicle body frame 1 can be realized.

[0065] Furthermore, before the start of Step 2 in the present utility model, it is required that the upper mounting pad 231 and the lower mounting pad 203 have been assembled on the radiator 21; based on such a setting, the installation of the radiator 21 on the vehicle body frame 1 can be facilitated, and the assembly efficiency of the radiator 21 can be improved.

[0066] Specifically:

[0067] The radiator installation structure 201 of the present utility model is still designed with four mounting pads. In the present utility model, the lower installation structure 23 can select the existing installation structure. By changing the upper installation structure 22 in the present utility model, the radiator 21 can be pushed and installed from one side of the vehicle body frame 1 to the other side, greatly reducing the installation difficulty of the radiator 21.

[0068] Such as Figure 3 shown, the radiator assembly 2 is first pushed from the back to the front, and then falls from the top to the bottom into the lower mounting hole 101 of the vehicle body frame 1; thus realizing the installation and fixation of the radiator 21 on the vehicle body frame 1.

[0069] The radiator assembly 2 is pushed forward until the front surface of the upper buffer soft pad is in contact with the surface of the vehicle body frame 1, as Figure 5 shown.

[0070] After the front surface of the upper buffer soft pad is in contact with the surface of the vehicle body frame 1, the radiator 21 falls down by its own weight, as Figure 6 shown, and both the upper and lower buffer soft pads fall into the installation positions.

[0071] Screw the bolt into the embedded threaded sleeve of the upper buffer soft pad from the front side to fix the radiator assembly 2 to the vehicle body frame 1.

[0072] Installation process of the radiator assembly 2: Push the whole forward until it is in contact with the surface of the vehicle body frame 1, and let the radiator assembly 2 fall into the installation structure by its own weight, and drive the bolt from the front side.

[0073] Obviously, the specific implementation of the present utility model is not limited by the above-mentioned methods. As long as various non-substantive improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
