[0031] The radiator and air guide plate assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the radiator and air guide plate assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is used in a vehicle. The radiator and air guide plate assembly includes a radiator 1 and an air guide plate 2. The radiator 1 has a first limiting structure 11, and the air guide plate 2 includes a plate body 21 and a second limiting structure 22. The second limiting structure 22 is adapted to connect with the first limiting structure 11. When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the first limiting structure 11 is disengaged from the second limiting structure 22.
[0033] Understandably, during the assembly of the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1, the first limiting structure 11 and the second limiting structure 22 are connected to allow the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 to be transported and lifted together onto the vehicle and installed separately, improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the air guide plate 2 is fixed by connecting the plate body 21 to the vehicle body. When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the first limiting structure 11 and the second limiting structure 22 disengage, allowing the radiator 1 and the air guide plate 2 to separate. This prevents the vibration of the radiator 1 from being transmitted to the air guide plate 2 during vehicle operation, ensuring the airflow guiding effect of the air guide plate 2 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 1.
[0034] According to the radiator and air guide plate assembly of this utility model embodiment, the radiator 1 has a first limiting structure 11, and the air guide plate 2 includes a plate body 21 and a second limiting structure 22. The second limiting structure 22 is adapted to connect with the first limiting structure 11, so that the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 can be transported and lifted together onto the vehicle and installed separately, improving assembly efficiency. When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the first limiting structure 11 is disengaged from the second limiting structure 22 to prevent the vibration of the radiator 1 from being transmitted to the air guide plate 2, ensuring the airflow guiding effect of the air guide plate 2 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 1.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-5 As shown, when the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the second limiting structure 22 is located above the first limiting structure 11 and is arranged opposite to it in the vertical direction.
[0036] Therefore, when the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, this arrangement allows the first limiting structure 11 to disengage from the second limiting structure 22, thereby separating the radiator 1 from the air guide plate 2. Simultaneously, during the transport of the radiator 1 and air guide plate 2, the position of the second limiting structure 22 is downward relative to its position during the connection between the plate body 21 and the vehicle body, thus connecting the second limiting structure 22 to the first limiting structure 11, allowing the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 to be transported and lifted together into the vehicle.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2-5 As shown, the first limiting structure 11 includes a limiting groove 111 formed by the downward indentation of the upper surface of the radiator 1, and the second limiting structure 22 includes a limiting member. When the air guide plate 2 is connected to the radiator 1, the limiting member is inserted into the limiting groove 111. When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the limiting member is disengaged from the limiting groove 111.
[0038] Therefore, this design allows the limiting groove 111 to be formed by the radiator 1 itself, resulting in a simple structure that requires no additional components, effectively reducing the cost and weight of the radiator 1. Simultaneously, the limiting member and the limiting groove 111 work together to allow the first limiting structure 11 to connect with the second limiting structure 22. Specifically, when the air guide plate 2 is connected to the radiator 1, the limiting member inserts into the limiting groove 111, connecting the first limiting structure 11 with the second limiting structure 22, allowing the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 to be transported and lifted together onto the vehicle. When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, the limiting member disengages from the limiting groove 111, disengaging the first limiting structure 11 from the second limiting structure 22, thus separating the air guide plate 2 from the radiator 1.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-5As shown, the limiting component includes a hook 221, which is adapted to engage with the limiting groove 111. Therefore, when the air guide plate 2 is connected to the radiator 1, the hook 221 engages with the limiting groove 111, allowing the limiting groove 111 to limit the hook 221, thus ensuring that the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 will not tilt or fall during transport and lifting, improving the stability and reliability of the transport and installation process.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the hook 221 has a first reinforcing rib 2211 extending along the length of the hook 221. This arrangement effectively improves the structural strength of the hook 221, thereby increasing the connection strength between the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 within the hook 221 engagement limiting groove 111, and further improving the stability and reliability of the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 during handling and lifting.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, there are multiple first limiting structures 11 spaced apart, and multiple second limiting structures 22 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple first limiting structures 11. Therefore, when the multiple first limiting structures 11 are connected to their corresponding multiple second limiting structures 22, the connection strength between the radiator 1 and the air guide plate 2 is increased. Furthermore, the spaced distribution of the multiple first limiting structures 11 further enhances the connection strength between the radiator 1 and the air guide plate 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 during handling and lifting. Specifically, there are multiple limiting grooves 111 spaced apart, and multiple hooks 221 corresponding one-to-one with the limiting grooves 111. The connection between the air guide plate 2 and the radiator 1 is achieved by hooking the multiple hooks 221 into their corresponding limiting grooves 111.
[0042] Furthermore, when the radiator and air deflector assembly is applied to a vehicle, multiple first limiting structures 11 are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the vehicle.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the plate body 21 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212. The first plate 211 is vertically arranged and its upper end is connected to the second limiting structure 22, and its lower end is connected to the second plate 212. The second plate 212 is horizontally arranged and its end away from the first plate 211 extends in a direction away from the radiator 1. The vehicle body includes a front anti-collision beam 3, which is located above the second plate 212. The second plate 212 is connected to the front anti-collision beam 3.
[0044] Understandably, when the first limiting structure 11 and the second limiting structure 22 are connected, the radiator 1 and the air guide plate 2 are raised from bottom to top to their final positions. After being connected to the front anti-collision beam 3 by the second plate 212, the air guide plate 2 is positioned above its final raised position, allowing the first limiting structure 11 to disengage from the second limiting structure 22. This enables the air guide plate 2 to detach from the radiator 1 when the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body. Simultaneously, the vertical arrangement of the first plate 211 and its connection at its upper end to the second limiting structure 22 facilitates the connection and disengagement of the second limiting structure 22, located above the first plate 211, with the first limiting structure 11, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0045] Furthermore, the second plate 212 has a first fastening hole 2121, and the front bumper beam 3 has a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole 2121. Fasteners pass through the first fastening hole 2121 and the second fastening hole to connect the second plate 212 and the front bumper beam 3. Even further, the first fastening holes 2121 are multiple spaced apart, and the second fastening holes are multiple corresponding to the multiple first fastening holes 2121. This arrangement improves the connection strength between the second plate 212 and the front bumper beam 3, thus enhancing overall reliability.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle also includes a front-end module, which is located on the side of the first plate 211 facing away from the radiator 1, and the first plate 211 is connected to the front-end module. Thus, by connecting the first plate 211 to the front-end module, the air guide plate 2 is connected to the front-end module, effectively improving the stability and robustness of the air guide plate 2 and ensuring the airflow guiding effect of the air guide plate 2.
[0047] Furthermore, the first plate 211 has a third fastening hole 2112, and the front-end module has a fourth fastening hole corresponding to the third fastening hole 2112. Fasteners pass through the third fastening hole 2112 and the fourth fastening hole to connect the first plate 211 and the front-end module. Even further, the third fastening holes 2112 are multiple spaced apart, and the fourth fastening holes are multiple corresponding to the multiple third fastening holes 2112. This arrangement improves the connection strength between the first plate 211 and the front-end module, enhancing overall reliability.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the plate body 21 has weight-reduction holes 2111. This arrangement effectively reduces the weight of the plate body 21, thereby reducing the weight of the radiator and air deflector assembly, and thus meeting the lightweight requirements of vehicles using this radiator and air deflector assembly. Furthermore, the first plate 211 has weight-reduction holes 2111.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the plate body 21 has a length direction along the air guide plate 2 (e.g., Figures 1-5 The second reinforcing rib 213 extends in the left-right direction (as shown). This arrangement effectively improves the structural strength of the plate body 21, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and reliability of the air guide plate 2.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the plate body 21 has a width direction along the air guide plate 2 (e.g., Figures 1-5 The third reinforcing rib 214 extends in the front-to-back direction (as shown). This arrangement effectively improves the structural strength of the plate body 21, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and reliability of the air guide plate 2.

When the plate body 21 is connected to the vehicle body, it is disengaged from the second limiting structure 22 by the first limiting structure 11, preventing the vibration of the radiator 1 from being transmitted to the air guide plate 2, ensuring the airflow guiding effect of the air guide plate 2, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 1.
