Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil coolers, in particular to an oil cooler bracket for vehicles. Background Art

[0002] With the economic development and the accelerating pace of life, cars have gradually become common means of transportation, and customers have higher and higher requirements for various performances of cars, and reliability is one of them.

[0003] The oil cooler for vehicles, as an important component of the engine cooling system, mainly consists of components such as main plates, end covers, side plates, heat dissipation tubes, heat dissipation fins, spacers, inlet and outlet jump tubes, and fixing brackets. Among them, due to the long length of the inlet and outlet jump tubes, if only one end is connected to the oil cooler body, situations such as deformation and displacement are likely to occur. Therefore, a fixing bracket is arranged on the jump tube and connected to the inlet and outlet jump tubes, which can play roles such as fixing and installing the jump tube and protecting parts.

[0004] The fixing bracket usually includes two mutually buckled fixing plates. When assembling the fixing bracket, the jump tube is usually clamped in the corresponding slots on the fixing plates, and the two fixing plates are buckled to limit the position of the jump tube. However, since the jump tube and the fixing plates are in clearance fit, there is a problem that it is difficult to fit tightly. Although it has a certain fixing and limiting function, due to the fitting clearance between the jump tube and the fixing bracket, relative shaking is likely to occur between the fixing bracket and the jump tube, and the protection of the inlet and outlet jump tubes may be insufficient during vibration tests, affecting the fixing and limiting effect of the fixing bracket, causing the jump tube to vibrate and resulting in leakage and failure of the oil cooler. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an oil cooler bracket for vehicles to solve the problem of poor fixing and limiting effects of the fixing bracket on the jump tube.

When both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are bent and attached to the jump tube, the notches of the first limiting member and the notches of the second limiting member are arranged staggeredly in the circumferential direction of the jump tube.

[0013] Preferably, both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are clamping claws. The clamping claw includes a clamping plate. The two clamping plates are respectively arranged on both sides of the jump tube to form the first limiting member, and one clamping plate is arranged on one side of the jump tube to form the second limiting member.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides an oil cooler bracket for a vehicle, which includes a support plate 2, a first limiting member 3 and a second limiting member 4. The support plate 2 is used to support the jump tube 1; the first limiting member 3 is arranged on the support plate 2, and at least one first limiting member 3 is connected to each jump tube 1; the second limiting member 4 is arranged on the support plate 2, and at least one second limiting member 4 is connected to each jump tube 1; the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 on the same jump tube 1 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the jump tube 1 to limit the relative position between the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, there are two jump tubes 1, and the length of the support plate 2 is greater than the distance between the two jump tubes 1, so that when the jump tubes 1 are limited by the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4, the support plate 2 can stably support the two jump tubes 1.

[0032] In this way, the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 can limit the relative position between the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2, making it not easy to shift due to the shaking of the support plate 2, improving the fixing and limiting effect of the support plate 2 on the jump tube 1, and further improving the connection strength between the jump tube 1 and the oil cooler; the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are arranged at intervals, enabling different positions of the jump tube 1 to be limited, and further increasing the stability of the fixing and limiting.

[0033] It can be understood that one jump tube 1 can be connected to multiple first limiting members 3 and multiple second limiting members 4, and the number of the first limiting members 3 and the second limiting members 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs and will not be listed in detail here.

[0034] Referring toFigure 2 In some embodiments, the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are both fixedly disposed on the same side of the support plate 2 .

[0035] In this way, the support plate 2 is placed on the two jump pipes 1, and the first limit member 3 and the second limit member 4 are located at the position where the jump pipe 1 is to be limited. This can facilitate the staff to assemble the first limit member 3 and the second limit member 4 to the jump pipe 1, thereby improving the limiting efficiency and realizing the rapid limiting of the jump pipe 1.

[0036] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support plate 2 includes a mounting portion 22 , which is disposed at both ends of the support plate 2 and is used to connect with other parts inside the automobile to limit the positions of the support plate 2 and the jumper 1 .

[0037] It can be understood that in order to fix the position of the support plate 2, the mounting portion 22 can be connected to other parts inside the automobile by bolts. When the first limit member 3 and the second limit member 4 are assembled to the jump tube 1, the support plate 2 can be located above the jump tube 1 or below the jump tube 1. The specific position of the support plate 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0038] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, two jumper tubes 1 are provided, each jumper tube 1 is provided with a first limit member 3 and a second limit member 4, and the two first limit members 3 and the two second limit members 4 are respectively arranged diagonally on the support plate 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, on one of the jump pipes 1, the first limit member 3 is arranged on the side of the support plate 2 close to the oil cooler, and the second limit member 4 is arranged on the side of the support plate 2 away from the oil cooler. On the other jump pipe 1, the first limit member 3 is arranged on the side of the support plate 2 away from the oil cooler, and the second limit member 4 is arranged on the side of the support plate 2 close to the oil cooler.

[0040] In this way, the two first limiting members 3 and the two second limiting members 4 are respectively arranged diagonally on the support plate 2, so that the support plate 2 can be subjected to force more evenly, and the jumper 1 limited by the first limiting members 3 and the second limiting members 4 can be supported more stably, thereby improving the fixed limiting effect.

[0041] It is understandable that the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 on the two jumper tubes 1 may also be respectively arranged on the same side of the support plate 2, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 on the adjacent jump tubes 1 are arranged staggeredly. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 4 of one jump tube 1 is located between the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 of the other jump tube 1, and the second limiting member 4 of the other jump tube 1 is located between the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 of this jump tube 1.

[0043] In this way, the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are arranged staggeredly, which can not only reserve an assembly space to facilitate the staff to assemble the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 onto the corresponding jump tube 1, but also limit different positions of the two jump tubes 1, make the connection between the two jump tubes 1 and the support member more stable, improve the overall structural strength and the fixed limiting effect, avoid the jump tube 1 from shifting or even falling off due to the shaking of the support frame, and improve the connection strength between the jump tube and the oil cooler.

[0044] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are clamping claws, and both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are selectively bent and fitted with the jump tube 1.

[0045] It should be noted that when the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are not assembled onto the jump tube 1, the clamping claws are in an open state. The first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are clamped into the jump tube 1 and the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are bent, so that both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are closely fitted with the jump tube 1, realizing the limitation of the jump tube 1 by the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4, and fixing the relative position between the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2.

[0046] In this way, by bending, the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are respectively closely fitted with the jump tube 1, which can improve the fixed limiting efficiency of the jump tube 1, reduce the gap between the jump tube 1 and the first limiting member 3 or the second limiting member 4 at the same time, avoid the jump tube 1 from falling off and vibrating from the first limiting member 3 or the second limiting member 4 when the support plate 2 shakes, and improve the fixed limiting effect of the support frame.

[0047] It can be understood that the first limiting member 3 or the second limiting member 4 can also be structures such as buckles and snap rings, not limited to clamping claws. In this embodiment, clamping claws are used to facilitate adapting to jump tubes 1 with different diameters and quickly connecting the first limiting member 3 with the jump tube 1 and the second limiting member 4 with the jump tube 1.

[0048] Refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, when both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are bent and fitted on the jump tube 1, the bayonet of the first limiting member 3 and the bayonet of the second limiting member 4 are arranged staggeredly in the circumferential direction of the jump tube 1.

[0049] In this way, since the bayonet of the first limit member 3 and the bayonet of the second limit member 4 are staggered, the fixed limiting effect of the jump tube 1 in the circumferential direction can be improved, and the risk of the jump tube 1 being offset or falling off due to the bayonet being arranged on the same side of the jump tube 1 is avoided, so that the first limit member 3 and the second limit member 4 can more stably limit the relative position of the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first limit member 3 and the second limit member 4 are both claws, and the claws include a card plate. The two card plates are respectively arranged on both sides of the jump tube 1 to form the first limit member 3, and one card plate is arranged on one side of the jump tube 1 to form the second limit member 4. The length of the card plate forming the second limit member 4 is greater than the length of the card plate forming the first limit member 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the first limiting member 3 is bent and fitted with the jumper tube 1, its snap-in is located on the side of the jumper tube 1 away from the support plate 2, and after the second limiting member 4 is bent and fitted with the jumper tube 1, its snap-in is located on the side of the jumper tube 1 along its extension direction.

[0052] In this way, the different bending modes of the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 can improve the limiting strength of the jumper tube 1 in the circumferential direction, make the jumper tube 1 less likely to deviate or fall off, and facilitate assembly by the staff, thereby improving the fixing and limiting efficiency.

[0053] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support plate 2 is provided with a corresponding receiving groove 21 for receiving the jumper tube 1 , and the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are both disposed in the receiving groove 21 .

[0054] The receiving groove 21 is a groove with a semicircular longitudinal section, and two receiving grooves 21 are provided for accommodating two jumper tubes 1 respectively, and the length direction of the receiving groove 21 is parallel to the length direction of the jumper tube 1; a first limiting member 3 and a second limiting member 4 are provided in one receiving groove 21, and the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the receiving groove 21. Further, the support plate 2 also includes a connecting portion 23, and the connecting portion 23 is provided between the two receiving grooves 21.

[0055] In this way, the jumper tube 1 is clamped in the accommodating groove 21, so that the support plate 2 can be quickly assembled onto the jumper tube 1, and the side wall of the jumper tube 1 can be further limited, so that it is not easy to deviate or fall off due to the shaking of the support frame, thereby improving the fixing and limiting effect of the jumper tube 1.

[0056] See also Figure 3, in some embodiments, both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are made of metal materials. Further, both the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are made of aluminum materials, which are easy to bend and fit with the jump tube 1. The support plate 2 is made of aluminum alloy material, which improves the structural strength and is convenient for processing the accommodation groove 21.

[0057] In this way, by bending the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 made of metal materials, the position of the jump tube 1 can be restricted, and the gap between the first limiting member 3 or the second limiting member 4 and the jump tube 1 can be reduced, avoiding the vibration of the jump tube 1 within the first limiting member 3 or the second limiting member 4 and improving the fixed limiting effect.

[0058] It can be understood that the materials of the first limiting member 3, the second limiting member 4, and the support plate 2 are not limited to aluminum and aluminum alloy, and can also be other metal materials that are easy to deform, which will not be listed in detail here.

[0059] Refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a coating layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the support plate 2 facing the jump tube 1, and the support plate 2 is welded to the jump tube 1. In this embodiment, after the first limiting member 3 and the second limiting member 4 are respectively assembled to the jump tube 1, the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2 are fixedly connected by brazing, which can further limit the jump tube 1, avoid the jump tube 1 from shifting or falling off on the support plate 2, and stably connect the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2, improving the fixed limiting effect.

[0060] Refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the oil cooler bracket further includes an assembly plate (not shown in the figure). An assembly groove for accommodating the jump tube 1 is provided on the assembly plate, and the assembly plate is detachably connected to the support plate 2. Among them, the assembly plate is made of plastic material.

[0061] In this way, the support plate 2, the first limiting member 3, and the second limiting member 4 are all assembled on the jump tube 1, and the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2 are fixedly connected by brazing, so that the relative position of the jump tube 1 and the support plate 2 is fixed. The assembly plate is connected to the support plate 2, so that the jump tube 1 is located within the assembly groove and the accommodation groove 21, which can protect the jump tube 1 and improve the structural strength of the oil cooler bracket, making it not easily deformed due to shaking, thereby affecting the fixed limiting effect of the jump tube 1.

[0062] It can be understood that the assembly plate and the support plate 2 can be connected by bolts or by means of buckling, etc. The connection method between the assembly plate and the support plate 2 can be flexibly adjusted, which will not be listed in detail here.

[0063] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
