[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile cooling fans, in particular to a temporary fixing structure for a cooling fan connector. Background Art
[0002] The automobile cooling fan mainly includes an impeller, a frame panel and a drive motor. The drive motor is fixed on the frame panel. The impeller is arranged in the impeller mounting area of the frame panel and is driven to rotate by the drive motor. The drive motor needs to be docked with an external controller, so the drive motor will be connected to a wiring harness, and a connector will be provided at the end of the wiring harness. When these cooling fans are handled and transported, the wiring harness and the connector will naturally fall down, which will affect the handling and transportation of the cooling fans. There may also be cases where the connector is worn, collided, or the wiring harness is pulled or entangled, thus affecting the quality of the product. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a temporary fixing structure for a cooling fan connector, which can temporarily fix the connector, thereby facilitating the handling and transportation of the cooling fan.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is: a temporary fixing structure for a cooling fan connector, the temporary fixing structure includes a temporary fixing seat arranged on the back of the frame panel of the cooling fan, the temporary fixing seat includes a support base, side support plates are provided on both sides of the support base, a positioning end plate is provided at one end of the support base, and a fixing block for clamping the connector is provided at the upper end of the side support plate. The support base, the positioning end plate and the side support plate jointly enclose a temporary fixing area for temporarily fixing the connector, and the side side of the support base is also provided with an axial limiting structure that cooperates with the positioning end plate to axially limit the connector.
[0005] As a preferred solution, the axial limiting structure includes a limiting rib plate, and a placement notch is provided between the limiting rib plate and one of the side support plates for facilitating the placement of the connecting socket of the plug, and the limiting rib plate is constrained and fitted with the end face of the connecting socket.
[0006] As a preferred solution, the temporary fixing seat is arranged in the reinforced connection area on the back of the frame panel of the cooling fan, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged on the reinforced connection area. The limiting ribs and side support plates are arranged on the reinforcing ribs and are higher than the reinforcing ribs. A plurality of supporting ribs are arranged between the reinforcing ribs, and the supporting ribs constitute the supporting base.
[0007] As a preferred solution, the side support plate includes several support plate units, each support plate unit is arranged at intervals and the interval areas between each other form a gripping area for easy gripping, and the upper end of each support plate unit is provided with the fixed block.
[0008] As a preferred solution, the upper end surface of the fixed block is configured as a downwardly inclined guide slope.
[0009] As a preferred solution, the lower end surface of the fixed block is configured as an upwardly inclined tightening slope.
[0010] As a preferred solution, vertical reinforcing ribs are provided on the outer side surface of the support plate unit.
[0011] As a preferred solution, the axial limiting structure includes a limiting end plate, which is arranged at the other end of the support base. The upper end of the limiting end plate is lower than the upper end surface of the side support plate, and the limiting end plate and the positioning end plate cooperate with each other to constrain the two ends of the connector.
[0012] As a preferred solution, the positioning end plate is further provided with a disassembly opening for facilitating disassembly of the connector.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the effect of the utility model is as follows: since the temporary fixing structure includes a temporary fixing seat provided on the back of the frame panel of the cooling fan, the temporary fixing seat includes a support base, side support plates are provided on both sides of the support base, a positioning end plate is provided at one end of the support base, and a fixed block for clamping the connector is provided at the upper end of the side support plate. The support base, the positioning end plate and the side support plate together enclose a temporary fixing area for temporarily fixing the connector. The side of the support base is also provided with an axial limiting structure that cooperates with the positioning end plate to axially limit the connector. Therefore, the connector can be directly inserted into the temporary fixing area. The connector is fixed by the fixed block on the side support plate to prevent loosening, and the positioning end plate and the axial limiting structure can limit the axial position of the connector on both sides, which also facilitates the accurate placement and insertion of the connector. The temporary fixing structure can temporarily fix the connector during handling and transportation, ensuring that the connector and the wiring harness are steam-proof and avoiding wear during handling and transportation.
[0014] Furthermore, since the axial limiting structure includes a limiting rib, a placement notch is provided between the limiting rib and one of the side support plates to facilitate the placement of the connecting socket of the connector. The limiting rib is constrained and cooperates with the end face of the connecting socket. Therefore, firstly, the placement notch can facilitate the placement of the connecting socket, and can also allow the connector to be inserted in a specific placement direction. At the same time, the limiting rib can also constrain the end face of the connecting socket to ensure that the connector is fixed stably and not loose.
[0015] Furthermore, since the temporary fixing seat is arranged in the reinforced connection area on the back side of the frame panel of the cooling fan, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged on the reinforced connection area, the limiting ribs and the side support plates are arranged on the reinforcing ribs and are higher than the reinforcing ribs, and a plurality of supporting ribs are arranged between the reinforcing ribs, and the supporting ribs constitute the supporting base. The temporary fixing seat is arranged on the reinforced connection area, so that the reinforcing ribs can increase the strength of the reinforced connection area and ensure the strength of the temporary fixing seat. At the same time, the height of the entire temporary fixing seat can also be made higher than the frame panel, thereby facilitating the insertion and removal of the connector.
[0016] Since the side support plate includes several support plate units, each support plate unit is arranged at intervals and the interval areas between each other form a holding area that is convenient for holding. The upper end of each support plate unit is provided with the fixed card block. The holding area can facilitate human hands to hold the plug, facilitate operation, and also facilitate unplugging.
[0017] Furthermore, since the upper end surface of the fixed block is configured as a downwardly inclined guiding surface, the guiding surface can facilitate the insertion and guidance of the connector, thereby reducing the downward force during the insertion.
[0018] Furthermore, since the lower end surface of the fixed block is configured as an upwardly inclined clamping slope, the clamping slope can clamp the connector and simultaneously facilitate its removal.
[0019] Furthermore, since the outer side surface of the support plate unit is provided with vertical reinforcing ribs, the vertical reinforcing ribs can increase the strength of the support plate unit and prevent the support plate unit from being deformed too much when being inserted or pulled out.
[0020] Furthermore, since the positioning end plate is also provided with a disassembly opening for facilitating disassembly of the connector, the connector can be grasped from the disassembly opening to be disassembled. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present invention will be described in further detail below through specific embodiments.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 The figure shows a temporary fixing structure for a cooling fan connector. The temporary fixing structure includes a temporary fixing seat 4 provided on the back of the cooling fan frame panel 1. The temporary fixing seat 4 is integrally formed with the entire cooling fan frame panel 1. The temporary fixing seat 4 is provided on the back of the cooling fan frame panel 1 in a reinforced connection area 5. The reinforced connection area 5 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 11. The reinforcing ribs 11 extend directly from the connecting ears of the frame panel 1 to the central motor fixing ring.
[0034] The temporary fixing seat 4 includes a supporting base, side support plates are provided on both sides of the supporting base, a positioning end plate 41 is provided at one end of the supporting base, and a fixing block 45 for clamping the plug 3 is provided at the upper end of the side support plate. The supporting base, the positioning end plate 41 and the side support plate jointly enclose a temporary fixing area for temporarily fixing the plug 3. The side of the supporting base is also provided with an axial limiting structure that cooperates with the positioning end plate 41 to axially limit the plug 3.
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a structure of a connector 3, which includes a large head section and a small head section, and a connecting seat 31 is provided on the small head section.
[0036] The limiting ribs 43 and side support plates are arranged on the reinforcing ribs 11 and are higher than the reinforcing ribs 11. Several supporting ribs 46 are arranged between the reinforcing ribs 11. These supporting ribs 46 constitute the support base, supporting the bottom of the connector 3 and also providing a certain degree of strength. As can be seen from the above, the entire temporary fixing base 4 is higher than the reinforcing ribs 11, which facilitates the insertion of the connector 3.
[0037] The side support plate includes a plurality of support plate units 42, each of which is spaced apart and the spacing between them forms a gripping area for easy gripping. The upper end of each support plate unit 42 is provided with the fixing block 45. The outer side of each support plate unit 42 is provided with a vertical reinforcing rib 44.
[0038] The axial limiting structure includes a limiting rib 43. A placement notch 47 is provided between the limiting rib 43 and one of the side support plates to facilitate placement of the connector socket 3. The limiting rib 43 is constrained and engaged with the end surface of the connector socket. The upper end surface of the fixing block 45 is configured as a downwardly inclined guide slope 451. The lower end surface of the fixing block 45 is configured as an upwardly inclined tightening slope 452.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the drive motor and the fan impeller are omitted, and the plug connector 3 is temporarily fixed on the temporary fixing structure, and the wiring harness 2 is also confined between the drive motor and the plug connector 3. In this way, whether the cooling fan is carried or transported, the plug connector 3 will not hang down naturally. Especially when multiple cooling fans are carried at the same time, the overall structure is more tidy, avoiding the pulling of the wiring harness 2 and the collision of the plug connector 3, and the plug connector 3 can also be taken out very conveniently when in use.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically similar to that of the first embodiment, except that the axial limiting structure is deformed. The axial limiting structure includes a limiting end plate, which is provided at the other end of the support base. The upper end of the limiting end plate is lower than the upper end surface of the side support plate. The limiting end plate and the positioning end plate cooperate with each other to constrain the two ends of the connector. A disassembly opening for facilitating the disassembly of the connector is also provided on the positioning end plate. In addition, in order to better support the connector 3, a small head support plate 410 is further provided on the support base, and a support groove 411 for supporting the small head section 32 of the connector 3 is provided on the small head support plate 410. By Figure 7It can be seen that the end of the small head section of the connector 3 partially relies on the small head support plate 410, while the end of the large head section of the connector 3 relies on the positioning end plate 41, which can constrain the axial position of the connector.
[0042] The above-described embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred implementations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and alterations to the technical solutions of the present invention, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should fall within the scope of protection defined in the claims of the present invention.
