[0032] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A radiator assembly 100 of a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0036] It can be seen that the radiator assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 is part of the vehicle cooling system. Its main task is to ensure that the engine, vehicle air conditioner and other components operate within the normal temperature range to prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating and ensure the normal use of the vehicle 1000.

[0037] However, the internal radiator assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 needs to fully consider the rationality of the spatial layout while ensuring practicality. Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly of the vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a first radiator 10 and a second radiator 20 for dissipating heat from the engine, a condenser 40 of the vehicle air conditioner, and a heat dissipation fan 50.

[0038] The first radiator 10 is mainly used to dissipate heat from the engine.

[0039] When the engine is operating, it generates a large amount of heat. If this heat is not dissipated promptly, it can overheat and affect its performance. The first radiator 10 absorbs and removes the heat generated by the engine by circulating a cooling medium. The cooling medium circulates within the engine, absorbing the heat before flowing into the first radiator 10. The airflow generated by the cooling fan 50 dissipates the heat into the atmosphere, achieving effective heat dissipation.

[0040] The second radiator 20 is mainly used to dissipate heat for the motor.

[0041] The second radiator 20 absorbs and removes the heat generated by the motor through a similar circulating coolant system, and then dissipates the heat through the cooling fan 50 .

[0042] The third radiator 30 is used to provide additional heat dissipation for the motor to ensure stable operation of the motor.

[0043] The condenser 40 of a vehicle air conditioner is used to convert the refrigerant in the air conditioning system from a gas to a liquid state, releasing heat. When the air conditioning system is operating, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the vehicle cabin and then turns into a gas. After entering the condenser 40, the gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the cooling medium outside the condenser 40 through the condenser's heat dissipation function, while simultaneously condensing itself into a liquid state. The liquid refrigerant then passes through a device such as a throttling device to reduce its pressure before entering the evaporator, where the cycle continues.

[0044] The cooling fan 50 dissipates heat from the radiator by generating airflow and applying it to the radiator surface. When the vehicle 1000 is in motion or the engine is running, the cooling fan 50 activates and generates a certain amount of airflow across the radiator surface, removing accumulated heat from the radiator and dissipating it into the atmosphere. The speed of the cooling fan 50 can optionally be adjusted based on cooling requirements to ensure optimal cooling.

[0045] In order to maximize the use of the limited space in the car, the heat dissipation assembly of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a compact layout. Figure 1-Figure 2 The first radiator 10 , the second radiator 20 , the third radiator 30 , the condenser 40 and the cooling fan 50 are all flat and arranged vertically.

[0046] On the one hand, the flat structural shape enables closer fitting and integration between the heat dissipation components, thereby reducing the space they each occupy inside the vehicle 1000 and achieving efficient space utilization.

[0047] At the same time, the flat structure ensures the heat dissipation area of ​​these heat dissipation components, ensuring effective heat dissipation while maintaining a small size. Furthermore, the flat design makes the relative positions of the heat dissipation components more clear and fixed, making it easier to locate and install each heat dissipation component during installation. This reduces errors and uncertainties during installation, improving installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0048] On the other hand, a vertical arrangement can fully utilize the vertical space of vehicle 1000, avoiding excessive space in the X and Y directions, and providing more installation space for other vehicle 1000 components (such as the engine, transmission system, etc.). This optimizes the overall layout of vehicle 1000. Here, the X direction refers to the front-to-back direction of vehicle 1000, and the Y direction refers to the left-to-right direction of vehicle 1000. In some solutions, the X direction refers to the left-to-right direction of vehicle 1000, and the Y direction refers to the front-to-back direction of vehicle 1000.

[0049] Combine Figure 1-Figure 2 The first radiator 10, the second radiator 20, the condenser 40, and the cooling fan 50 are stacked and arranged along the X-direction of the vehicle 1000. This arrangement allows these cooling components to be compactly arranged within the limited space of the vehicle 1000. This layout helps maximize the use of the space in the front of the vehicle 1000, reducing the space occupied in the X-direction of the vehicle 1000 and providing more space for other components within the vehicle.

[0050] In this application, the specific sorting order of these heat dissipation components is not strictly limited, and the arrangement order of these heat dissipation components can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the vehicle 1000, heat dissipation requirements, space layout and other factors.

[0051] For example, in some vehicle models, to optimize the airflow path, the condenser 40 can be placed before or after the first radiator 10 and the second radiator 20. Similarly, the position of the cooling fan 50 can also be adjusted as needed to ensure that it can effectively provide sufficient airflow to the radiator while avoiding interference with other components of the vehicle 1000.

[0052] By flexibly arranging the heat dissipation components, the radiator assembly 100 is made more diversified and can better adapt to the needs of different vehicle models to achieve the best heat dissipation effect and space utilization.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the third radiator 30 and the condenser 40 are arranged vertically.

[0054] Since the third radiator 30 and the condenser 40 are relatively small in vertical dimensions, arranging them vertically can fully utilize the vertical space in the vehicle, reduce excessive space occupied in the X and Y directions, and provide more installation space for other vehicle components, thereby achieving efficient use of the vehicle interior space.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second radiator 20 is provided with a second radiator water inlet and outlet 22 on both sides in the Y direction, one for coolant inflow and the other for coolant outflow. This layout effectively prevents the second radiator water inlet and outlet 22 from obstructing the space of other surrounding heat dissipation components in the X direction, thereby ensuring the compactness and efficient integration of the entire radiator assembly 100 in the X direction.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the third radiator 30 is provided with third radiator water inlet and outlet ports 32 on both sides in the Y direction, one for coolant inflow and the other for coolant outflow. This layout effectively prevents the third radiator water inlet and outlet ports 32 from obstructing other surrounding heat dissipation components in the X direction, thereby ensuring the compactness and efficient integration of the entire radiator assembly 100 in the X direction.

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, in the radiator assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 , at least one side edge of at least one of the first radiator 10 , the second radiator 20 , the third radiator 30 , and the condenser 40 is provided with a sound insulation strip 60 .

[0058] This is because the heat generated during vehicle 1000's operation needs to be cooled by radiator assembly 100. Specifically, the flow of cooling medium within radiator assembly 100, the high-speed rotation of the fan, and the external airflow across the fins may generate varying degrees of noise. This noise may not only distract the driver but also lead to a poor riding experience for passengers. To mitigate this noise, the radiator assembly 100 in this application incorporates a sound insulation strip 60.

[0059] The sound insulation strip 60 is installed on at least one side edge of one or more components of the radiator assembly 100. It absorbs, reflects, or isolates the noise generated by the radiator assembly 100 by way of a physical barrier, thereby reducing the noise's interference with the vehicle interior environment.

[0060] Optionally, the sound insulation strip 60 is connected by pasting. The sound insulation strip 60 is cut into a suitable length and shape, and then directly pasted on the edge of the component that needs sound insulation. This method is simple and easy, and has low cost.

[0061] In addition to the pasting method, the sound insulation strip 60 can also be installed on the radiator assembly 100 by fasteners such as clips or screws to prevent the sound insulation strip 60 from falling off or loosening during use.

[0062] Optionally, the sound insulation strip 60 is made of sound insulation cotton material.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, sound insulation strips 60 are provided on all four sides of the second radiator 20 .

[0064] In some other embodiments, the three sides of the condenser 40 away from the third radiator 30 are provided with sound insulation strips 60. The three sides of the third radiator 30 away from the condenser 40 are provided with sound insulation strips 60.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The radiator assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 further includes radiator side panels 70 mounted on both horizontal sides of the first radiator 10. At least one of the second radiator 20, the third radiator 30, the condenser 40, and the cooling fan 50 is detachably connected to the radiator side panels 70 on both sides.

[0066] The radiator side plate 70 is used to provide a certain support for the first radiator 10 , so as to facilitate fixing the first radiator 10 in the structure of the vehicle 1000 .

[0067] Furthermore, the radiator side plate 70 also serves to position the first radiator 10, ensuring its accurate location within the vehicle 1000. By adjusting its size and mounting position, the radiator side plate 70 ensures a reasonable gap between the first radiator 10 and surrounding components, preventing interference and friction while maintaining the stability of the first radiator 10.

[0068] Optionally, the radiator side plate 70 is secured to the first radiator 10 via bolts. This fixing method offers a degree of adjustability, adapting to the requirements of different vehicle models and radiator specifications within a certain range. For example, by adjusting the tightening of the bolts or using bolts of different lengths, the mounting position and angle of the first radiator 10 can be fine-tuned to ensure optimal cooling and vehicle 1000 performance.

[0069] At least one of the second radiator 20 , the third radiator 30 , the condenser 40 and the cooling fan 50 is detachably connected to the radiator side panels 70 on both sides.

[0070] First, by designing the heat dissipation components into a detachable connection structure, they can be independently installed or removed from the radiator side plate 70. As a result, these heat dissipation components can be replaced or maintained as needed without the need to disassemble the entire radiator assembly 100 on a large scale.

[0071] Secondly, integrating the heat dissipation components directly into the radiator side panels 70 eliminates the need for additional reinforcement structures to secure and support these components. These reinforcement structures may include additional brackets, crossbeams, or other connectors. This avoids the use of excessive redundant components, thereby contributing to the lightweighting of the vehicle 1000. Furthermore, the space previously occupied by these reinforcement structures is freed up, helping to optimize the layout and utilization of the interior space.

[0072] Optionally, when at least two heat dissipating components among the second radiator 20, the third radiator 30, the condenser 40, and the heat dissipating fan 50 need to be connected to the radiator side plate 70, these heat dissipating components are each provided with a connecting structure, and these connecting structures are vertically staggered. This ensures that when the heat dissipating components are actually connected to the radiator side plate 70, the connecting structures are staggered relative to each other, thereby effectively avoiding spatial interference or physical conflict between them.

[0073] Specifically, this staggered connection structure allows each heat dissipation component to be connected to the radiator side plate 70 in a relatively tight manner, thereby improving the structural compactness of the radiator assembly 100.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The third radiator 30 includes a third radiator mounting bracket 31 for mounting the third radiator 30 on the radiator side plate 70 .

[0075] The second radiator 20 includes second radiator mounting brackets 21 provided on both sides thereof, and the second radiator mounting brackets 21 are used to connect the second radiator 20 and the radiator side plate 70. Two second radiator mounting brackets 21 are provided on each side.

[0076] The condenser 40 includes condenser mounting brackets 41 provided on both sides thereof for connecting the condenser 40 and the radiator side plate 70. Two condenser mounting brackets 41 are provided on each side.

[0077] The heat dissipation fan 50 includes heat dissipation fan mounting brackets 51 provided on both sides thereof for connecting the heat dissipation fan 50 and the radiator side panels 70 .

[0078] The second radiator mounting bracket 21 , the third radiator mounting bracket 31 , the condenser mounting bracket 41 and the cooling fan mounting bracket 51 are vertically staggered.

[0079] Alternatively, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the radiator assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 further includes: a first suspension structure 81 connected to each radiator side panel 70 ; and a second suspension structure 82 connected to the top or bottom of the first radiator 10 .

[0080] The first suspension structure 81 securely mounts the first radiator 10 and other heat dissipating components mounted on the radiator side panels 70 to the frame of the vehicle 1000 by connecting to the radiator side panels 70. This connection ensures that the radiator will not become loose or displaced due to vibration or impact while the vehicle 1000 is in motion.

[0081] The second suspension structure 82 provides an additional support point for the radiator. The second suspension structure 82 is arranged at the top or bottom of the radiator. This support helps to enhance the overall stability of the radiator and prevent it from deformation or damage due to bumps or vibrations during the driving process of the vehicle 1000.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 2 At least one of the first suspension structure 81 and the second suspension structure 82 includes: an elastic bushing 83.

[0083] The elastic bushing 83 can not only enhance the connection stability and reliability of the corresponding suspension structure, but also improve the vibration absorption capability.

[0084] Specifically, the elastic bushing 83 serves as a connector and can be filled with rubber, polyurethane, or other elastic materials that have a certain degree of elasticity and wear resistance. By providing the elastic bushing 83, the first suspension structure 81 and the second suspension structure 82 can be more tightly and stably connected to the frame or related components of the vehicle 1000.

[0085] While vehicle 1000 is in motion, elastic bushings 83 play a crucial role. They quickly and effectively absorb vibration energy caused by road irregularities, converting it into heat or other forms of energy for dissipation. This vibration absorption process not only helps reduce noise levels inside vehicle 1000, providing passengers with a quieter driving environment, but also mitigates the impact of vibration on radiator assembly 100 and related components.

[0086] Optionally, a mounting hole for connecting the elastic bushing 83 is provided on the frame of the vehicle 1000. When the elastic bushing 83 is set on the mounting hole, it forms an interference fit with the mounting hole.

[0087] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes a front frame 200 and a radiator assembly 100 for vehicle 1000. Front frame 200 includes two longitudinal beams 201 spaced apart along the Y direction of vehicle 1000, and a first cross beam 202 connecting the two longitudinal beams 201. Radiator assembly 100 is located within front frame 200 and mounted behind first cross beam 202.

[0088] The two longitudinal beams 201 are arranged at intervals along the Y direction of the vehicle 1000 (i.e., the left and right direction of the vehicle 1000). They provide necessary support for the vehicle 1000 and also serve as a mounting base for the radiator assembly 100 and other front components.

[0089] The first cross member 202 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 201 to form a stable frame structure. The first cross member 202 not only enhances the overall rigidity of the front frame 200, but also provides a mounting location for the radiator assembly 100.

[0090] The radiator assembly 100 is installed behind the first crossbeam 202, and the solid structure of the first crossbeam 202 is used as a support, thereby avoiding the need for additional reinforcement structures. This not only effectively reduces manufacturing costs, but also helps achieve the goal of lightweighting the entire vehicle.

[0091] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle 1000 includes: water tank columns 300 arranged on both sides of the radiator assembly 100, and the water tank columns 300 on both sides are respectively connected to the longitudinal beams 201 on both sides.

[0092] The water tank columns 300 are arranged on both sides of the radiator assembly 100. They can play a supporting role to a certain extent.

[0093] Specifically, each side of the radiator column 300 is securely connected to the corresponding side longitudinal beam 201 of the vehicle 1000. The connection method can be bolt connection, welding or other connection methods to ensure that the radiator column 300 remains stable when the vehicle 1000 is driving, thereby improving the reliability of the radiator assembly 100.

[0094] In order to cope with possible collision impacts, the radiator column 300 can be made of lightweight and high-strength material, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, which not only reduces the weight of the vehicle 1000 but also ensures the necessary structural strength.

[0095] The vehicle 1000 is also provided with a water tank lower cross beam 400 in front of the radiator assembly 100, and both ends of the water tank lower cross beam 400 are connected to the water tank columns 300 on both sides. The radiator assembly 100 is elastically connected to the water tank lower cross beam 400.

[0096] The lower cross member 400 is located in front of the radiator assembly 100 and provides additional support for the radiator assembly 100. It not only further stabilizes the radiator assembly 100, but also absorbs some of the impact force in the event of a head-on collision, reducing damage to the radiator assembly 100.

[0097] By connecting the ends of the lower cross member 400 to the radiator columns 300 on both sides, a three-sided reinforcement structure is formed around the radiator assembly 100. The lower cross member 400 and the radiator columns 300 form a mounting and protective frame for the radiator assembly 100, eliminating the need for additional reinforcement structures, reducing costs, and contributing to the lightweight goal of the vehicle 1000.

[0098] Optionally, see Figure 4 、 Figure 6 The vehicle 1000 further includes a water tank upper crossbeam 500 disposed above the radiator assembly 100. The water tank upper crossbeam 500 extends in the Y direction, with both ends of the water tank upper crossbeam 500 connected to the water tank columns 300 on both sides. The top of the radiator assembly 100 is elastically connected to the water tank upper crossbeam 500.

[0099] The upper water tank cross member 500 is positioned directly above the radiator assembly 100. It extends along the Y-axis of the vehicle 1000, i.e., the left-right direction of the vehicle 1000. Optionally, the length of the upper water tank cross member 500 is not less than the width of the radiator assembly 100 to ensure a secure connection between the upper water tank cross member 500 and the radiator assembly 100. In this application, the connection between the upper water tank cross member 500 and the radiator assembly 100 is flexible. For example, an effective connection can be achieved through fasteners, welding, or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0100] Optionally, the water tank upper cross beam 500 is detachably connected to the radiator assembly 100, thereby facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0101] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 4 、 Figure 6 Each water tank column 300 is welded to the water tank lower cross beam 400 and the corresponding longitudinal beam 201.

[0102] The welded connection between the radiator column 300 and the lower cross member 400 ensures the stability and rigidity of the front portion of the radiator assembly 100. This connection allows the lower cross member 400 to firmly support the radiator column 300, thereby providing a stable base for the radiator assembly 100. Furthermore, the welded connection reduces the risk of loosening or damage due to vibration or external impact, thereby extending the service life of the radiator assembly 100.

[0103] Alternatively, as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle 1000 further includes: at least one deflector 600, which is arranged on at least one side of the radiator assembly 100 in the Y direction, and the deflector 600 is detachably connected to the radiator assembly 100 and the lower cross beam 400 of the water tank.

[0104] The deflector 600 is used to guide and change the direction of airflow. It is arranged on at least one side of the radiator assembly 100 in the Y direction to reduce the lift generated by the vehicle 1000 when traveling at high speed, thereby improving the driving stability of the vehicle 1000.

[0105] To ensure efficient installation and removal of the deflector 600, the present embodiment utilizes a detachable connection. This means the deflector 600 is connected to the radiator assembly 100 and the lower cross member 400 via bolts, clips, or other means. This connection not only facilitates installation and maintenance of the deflector 600 but also allows for easy replacement or adjustment of its position and angle when necessary to optimize aerodynamic performance.

[0106] Optionally, in some embodiments, the radiator assembly 100 further includes deflector mounting brackets 601 provided on both sides of the third radiator 30 for connecting the deflector 600 .

[0107] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle 1000 further includes a front anti-collision beam 700 connected between the two longitudinal beams 201 . The front anti-collision beam 700 is located at the front side of the radiator assembly 100 and above the first cross beam 202 .

[0108] The front anti-collision beam 700 is a component of the vehicle 1000's safety system, absorbing and dissipating the impact force generated during a collision, thereby protecting the vehicle 1000's structure and occupants. In the embodiment of the present invention, the front anti-collision beam 700 is positioned and connected between the two longitudinal beams 201, thereby forming a strong front protection structure.

[0109] The front anti-collision beam 700 is located in front of the radiator assembly 100, directly facing potential collision threats and able to immediately absorb and disperse impact forces. Furthermore, the front anti-collision beam 700 is also located on the first cross member 202, which helps form a more complete protective framework and further enhances the structural strength of the front of the vehicle 1000.

[0110] In some Figure 4-Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the vehicle 1000 further includes a pedestrian protection beam 800 . The pedestrian protection beam 800 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 201 , and is located on the front side of the radiator assembly 100 and above the front anti-collision beam 700 .

[0111] It can be seen that the pedestrian protection beam 800 is a safety component of the vehicle 1000, and its main function is to reduce the damage to the pedestrian by absorbing and dispersing the impact force when the vehicle 1000 collides with the pedestrian.

[0112] Pedestrian protection beam 800 is located in front of radiator assembly 100, directly facing the potential pedestrian collision zone. This configuration allows pedestrian protection beam 800 to mitigate the severity of pedestrian damage in the event of a collision between vehicle 1000 and pedestrian, reducing the risk of injury, particularly to critical areas such as the legs and torso.

[0113] Furthermore, the pedestrian protection beam 800 is positioned above the front anti-collision beam 700, further enhancing the overall structural strength of the front section of the vehicle 1000. In the event of a collision, it works in conjunction with other safety elements (such as the front anti-collision beam 700 and longitudinal beams 201) to protect the integrity of the passenger compartment and minimize damage to the vehicle 1000, forming an additional layer of protection. This layout not only enhances the overall structural strength of the front section of the vehicle 1000 but also provides more comprehensive protection for pedestrians.

[0114] It should be noted that the vehicle 1000 in this application can be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or an extended-range vehicle, etc.
