Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile radiators, in particular to a radiator with a corner support structure. Background Art
[0002] The car intercooler is a gas radiator. The interior of the intercooler is surrounded by pipes. Gas is blown in from one end and flows in the pipes inside the intercooler. During the flow, the heat of the gas is absorbed by the intercooler, and the cooled gas flows out from the other end.
[0003] With the development of automobile technology, most existing automobile radiator installations use a snap-on structure. For example, when assembling an automobile intercooler and a condenser, an L-shaped support is formed on the outside of the air chamber on both sides of the automobile intercooler near the four end corners. A corresponding clamp is set on the condenser. Then, you only need to snap the clamp into the corresponding L-shaped support, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0004] The L-shaped support seat is located on the outside of the air chamber of the automobile and is close to the upper L-shaped support seat. When the block is inserted into the inner side of the upper L-shaped support seat, the upper edge of the block fits tightly against the lower edge of the block. In order to achieve this operation, a large thrust needs to be applied during installation to squeeze and deform the block and the block, and finally the block is clamped between the upper L-shaped support seat and the block. After that, the block and the block are reset by the reset force of their own materials, so that the block and the upper L-shaped support seat can maintain a stable clamping state. Such a structure also makes it difficult to remove the block during installation, thereby affecting the efficiency of maintenance work. Based on this, a radiator with a corner support structure is provided. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a radiator with a corner support structure in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a radiator with a corner support structure, comprising an intercooler consisting of a heat dissipation core and an air chamber, wherein the air chambers are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the heat dissipation core, and a quick-release support assembly is provided at one end of the outer wall of the two air chambers, and the quick-release support assembly is used to realize convenient disassembly and assembly of the condenser and the intercooler;
[0007] The quick-install support assembly includes an L-shaped support seat and an undercut elastic block;
[0008] The L-shaped support base is symmetrically fixed to one end of the outer wall of the two air chambers, and two L-shaped support bases are provided in the vertical direction;
[0009] The undercut elastic block is fixed to one end of the outer wall of the two air chambers and is distributed on the top of the upper L-shaped support seat;
[0010] The two sides of the condenser are symmetrically fixed with blocks that match the number of L-shaped support seats. The blocks are clamped on the inner sides of the corresponding L-shaped support seats, and the undercut elastic blocks are used to limit the upper edge of the upper L-shaped support seat.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the quick-release support assembly further includes a through-notch, a Z-shaped connecting piece, and a C-shaped buckle;
[0012] The through-notch is opened at one end of the vertical portion of the undercut elastic block and passes through the other end of the vertical portion; one end of the Z-shaped connecting piece is fixed to one end of the horizontal portion of the bottom of the undercut elastic block and extends to the outside of the undercut elastic block through the through-notch;
[0013] The C-shaped buckle is fixed to the other end of the Z-shaped connecting piece and fits with the upper edge of the top transverse part of the undercut elastic block. Pulling the C-shaped buckle pulls the bottom transverse part of the through-slot through the Z-shaped connecting piece, thereby realizing the bending deformation of the through-slot.
[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: the L-shaped support seat, the undercut elastic block, the through slot, the Z-shaped connecting piece, and the C-shaped buckle are integrally formed through an injection molding process, and the top transverse part of the undercut elastic block is fixed to the surface of the air chamber by ultrasonic welding.
[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: the thickness of the Z-shaped connecting piece and the C-shaped buckle is greater than the thickness of the undercut elastic block, thereby achieving that the deformation resistance of the Z-shaped connecting piece and the C-shaped buckle is greater than the deformation resistance of the undercut elastic block.
[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the clamping block distributed above, and the clamping block above is clamped to the inner side of the upper L-shaped support seat through the limiting groove.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] By setting up a quick-release support assembly, the condenser and the intercooler can be easily assembled. When the condenser and the intercooler need to be disassembled, it is only necessary to pull the C-shaped buckle to cause the undercut elastic block to deform, and then manually squeeze the undercut elastic block to further deform it, so that the end face of the undercut elastic block is lower than the end face of the card block. At this time, applying outward pulling force to the condenser can make the card block easily squeeze the end face of the undercut elastic block to deform it again. At the same time, the card block can be moved out of the L-shaped support seat to realize the disassembly operation. Compared with the traditional solid protrusion structure, the disassembly operation is more convenient and easy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, a radiator with a corner support structure includes an intercooler 1 consisting of a heat dissipation core 101 and an air chamber 102. The air chambers 102 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the heat dissipation core 101. One end of the outer wall of the two air chambers 102 is provided with a quick-install support assembly 4. The quick-install support assembly 4 is used to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the condenser 2 and the intercooler 1.
[0026] The quick-install support assembly 4 includes an L-shaped support seat 401 and an undercut elastic block 402;
[0027] The L-shaped support base 401 is symmetrically fixed to one end of the outer wall of the two air chambers 102, and two L-shaped support bases 401 are provided along the vertical direction;
[0028] The undercut elastic block 402 is fixed to one end of the outer wall of the two air chambers 102 and is distributed on the top of the upper L-shaped support base 401;
[0029] The two sides of the condenser 2 are symmetrically fixed with a number of clamping blocks 3 that matches the number of L-shaped support bases 401. The clamping blocks 3 are clamped to the inner side of the corresponding L-shaped support base 401. The undercut elastic block 402 is used to limit the upper edge of the upper L-shaped support base 401.
[0030] The quick-install support assembly 4 further includes a through-notch 403, a Z-shaped connecting piece 404, and a C-shaped buckle 405;
[0031] A through slot 403 is formed at one end of the vertical portion of the undercut elastic block 402 and passes through the other end of the vertical portion. One end of a Z-shaped connecting piece 404 is fixed to one end of the bottom horizontal portion of the undercut elastic block 402 and extends through the through slot 403 to the outside of the undercut elastic block 402.
[0032] The C-shaped buckle 405 is fixed to the other end of the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 and is in contact with the upper edge of the top transverse portion of the undercut elastic block 402. Pulling the C-shaped buckle 405 pulls the bottom transverse portion of the through-slot 403 through the Z-shaped connecting piece 404, thereby achieving a bending deformation of the through-slot 403.
[0033] A limiting groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the upper clamping block 3 , and the upper clamping block 3 is clamped to the inner side of the upper L-shaped support seat 401 through the limiting groove 5 .
[0034] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the connection between the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 and the undercut elastic block 402 is in contact with the surface of the air chamber 102. This allows the bottom lateral portion of the undercut elastic block 402 to be blocked by the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 and the air chamber 102 when the end surface of the undercut elastic block 402 is subjected to external pressure, making it less likely to bend or deform.
[0035] When assembling the condenser 2 and the intercooler 1, it is only necessary to slightly tilt the clamping block 3 on the condenser 2 to align it with the L-shaped support seat 401 and push it inward. At this time, the operator's hand touches the C-shaped pull buckle 405 and pulls it. The C-shaped pull buckle 405 pulls the bottom horizontal part of the undercut elastic block 402 through the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 to bend and deform, and at the same time applies pressure to the condenser 2 toward the intercooler 1. This pressure further squeezes the undercut elastic block 402 through the clamping block 3, so that the undercut elastic block 402 is further deformed, thereby facilitating the insertion of the clamping block 3 into the inner side of the L-shaped support seat 401.
[0036] When the clamping block 3 is fully inserted into the inner side of the L-shaped support seat 401, the undercut elastic block 402 is reset under the action of its own elastic force, and the bottom transverse portion of the undercut elastic block 402 is in contact with the upper edge of the upper clamping block 3, thereby limiting the clamping block 3 and ensuring a stable connection between the condenser 2 and the intercooler 1 (it should be noted that the bottom transverse portion of the undercut elastic block 402 slightly protrudes from the end face of the clamping block 3, that is, when the clamping block 3 squeezes the bottom transverse portion of the undercut elastic block 402, the clamping block 3 and the bottom transverse portion of the undercut elastic block 402 cannot be separated. In addition, the engagement of the limiting groove 5 with the upper L-shaped support seat 401 can achieve horizontal limitation of the condenser 2);
[0037] When it is necessary to disassemble the condenser 2 and the intercooler 1, it is only necessary to pull the C-shaped buckle 405 to cause the undercut elastic block 402 to deform, and then manually squeeze the undercut elastic block 402 to further deform it, so that the bottom horizontal part of the undercut elastic block 402 is bent, and the end face of the undercut elastic block 402 is lower than the end face of the clamping block 3. At this time, applying an outward pulling force to the condenser 2 can make the clamping block 3 easily squeeze the end face of the undercut elastic block 402 to deform it again, and at the same time, the clamping block 3 can be moved out of the L-shaped support seat 401, thereby realizing the disassembly operation. Compared with the traditional solid protrusion structure (similar to: the undercut elastic block 402 is in a solid state as a whole), the disassembly operation is more convenient and easy (it should also be noted that: during the installation and disassembly process, the operator's hand is close to the upper clamping block 3, so that the operator can contact the C-shaped buckle 405 and the condenser 2 at the same time, thereby applying pulling or pushing force).
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The L-shaped support seat 401, the undercut elastic block 402, the through slot 403, the Z-shaped connecting piece 404, and the C-shaped buckle 405 are integrally formed through an injection molding process, and the top horizontal portion of the undercut elastic block 402 is fixed to the surface of the air chamber 102 by ultrasonic welding.
[0039] In this embodiment, this structure can realize convenient production of the quick-install support assembly 4 and assembly operation of the quick-install support assembly 4 and the air chamber 102 , and can improve production on the basis of the existing intercooler 1 , thus facilitating promotion and production.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The thickness of the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 and the C-shaped buckle 405 is greater than the thickness of the undercut elastic block 402 , thereby achieving the anti-deformation strength of the Z-shaped connecting piece 404 and the C-shaped buckle 405 being greater than the anti-deformation strength of the undercut elastic block 402 .
[0041] In this embodiment, this structure enables the undercut elastic block 402 to be deformed preferentially when the C-shaped buckle 405 is pulled, thereby ensuring that the undercut elastic block 402 is deformed stably.
[0042] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
