[0045] In the front-end modules of automobiles, the connection and assembly of the fan and several heat exchangers are usually achieved using bolts, and fasteners are also required for secure connection. Using bolts and fasteners for installation involves numerous connection points and a large number of bolts and fasteners, making the installation complex and inconvenient for production operations.

[0046] Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a mounting bracket and an automotive cooling module. The mounting bracket can solve the above problems and is also used in automobiles to form an automotive cooling module. The mounting bracket will be described in detail below.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting bracket includes a frame 1 and fasteners. The frame 1 has a mounting cavity 15 for accommodating the heat exchanger 4 and the fan, and at least two clips 16 are also provided on the frame 1. The fasteners are used to connect with the heat exchanger 4 and also engage with the clips 16. When installing the heat exchanger 4 and the fan, the heat exchanger 4 and the fan can be first inserted into the mounting cavity 15, and the clips 16 can be engaged with the fasteners to fix and limit the position of the heat exchanger 4 and the fan. Compared with the existing bolt assembly method, the mounting bracket of this utility model embodiment makes assembly more convenient and operation simpler.

[0048] In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a first side plate 10, a second side plate 11, a third side plate 12 and a fourth side plate 13. The two ends of the first side plate 10 are connected to the second side plate 11 and the fourth side plate 13 respectively. The two ends of the third side plate 12 are also connected to the second side plate 11 and the fourth side plate 13 respectively. The first side plate 10 and the third side plate 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The first side plate 10, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 12 and the fourth side plate 13 together form an installation cavity 15.

[0049] The first side plate 10 is provided with a first locking cavity 101, and the third side plate 12 is provided with a second locking cavity 121. Both the first locking cavity 101 and the second locking cavity 121 are connected to a buckle 16. The fasteners include a first fastener 2 and a second fastener 3. The first fastener 2 is connected to the heat exchanger 4 and engages with the buckle 16 in the first locking cavity 101; the second fastener 3 is also connected to the heat exchanger 4 and engages with the buckle 16 in the second locking cavity 121.

[0050] Specifically, the first locking cavity 101 penetrates the upper edge of the first side plate 10 and both sides of the first side plate 10, and the second locking cavity 121 penetrates the upper edge of the third side plate 12 and both sides of the third side plate 12. Two identical latches 16 are provided on the cavity wall of the first locking cavity 101, spaced apart and symmetrically arranged; similarly, two other identical latches 16 are provided on the cavity wall of the second locking cavity 121, also spaced apart and symmetrically arranged.

[0051] In other embodiments, the frame 1 can also take other forms, and the resulting mounting cavity 15 varies depending on the structure of the frame 1. The number of fasteners can also be multiple, with the number of fasteners on the heat exchanger 4 matching the number of clips 16 provided on the frame 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, the buckle 16 includes an elastic block 161, a Z-direction limiting block 162, and an X-direction limiting block 163. The elastic block 161 is a long strip plate, with its lower end connected to the bottom wall of the first locking cavity 101 or the second locking cavity 121. The X-direction limiting block 163 is connected to the upper end of the elastic block 161, and the Z-direction limiting block 162 is connected to the X-direction limiting block 163. The Z-direction limiting block 162 also has an inclined surface for guidance. When the first locking device 2 engages with the latch 16 in the first locking cavity 101, the first locking device 2 slides between the two opposing latches 16 via the inclined surface on the Z-direction limiting block 162, and is limited by the two latches 16 to prevent the first locking device 2 from moving in the X and Z directions; similarly, when the second locking device 3 engages with the latch 16 in the second locking cavity 121, the second locking device 3 slides between the two opposing latches 16 via the inclined surface on the Z-direction limiting block 162, and is limited by the two latches 16 to prevent the second locking device 3 from moving in the X and Z directions.

[0053] Optionally, the elastic block 161 is inclinedly connected to the bottom wall of the first locking cavity 101 or the second locking cavity 121, so that the long side of the elastic block 161 forms an angle of not 90° with the XY plane. The two elastic blocks 161 in the first locking cavity 101 or the second locking cavity 121 are inclined relative to each other, so that the first locking fastener 2 or the second locking fastener 3 can be locked in the X direction.

[0054] refer to Figures 5 to 7 The first fastener 2 includes a first connecting part 20 and a first XZ direction limiting part 21. The first XZ direction limiting part 21 is connected to the first connecting part 20. The first connecting part 20 is also connected to the heat exchanger 4.

The left and right sides of the first XZ direction limiting part 21 are respectively connected to the X direction limiting blocks 163 on both sides. The upper surface of the first XZ direction limiting part 21 is connected to the bottom surface of the Z direction limiting block 162.

[0055] The second fastener 3 includes a second connecting part 30, a second XZ-direction limiting part 31, and a Y-direction limiting part 32. The Y-direction limiting part 32 is connected to the second connecting part 30, and the second XZ-direction limiting part 31 is connected to the Y-direction limiting part 32. The second connecting part 30 is connected to the heat exchanger 4. The second XZ-direction limiting part 31 is a rectangular plate, and the plane of the second XZ-direction limiting part 31 is parallel to the XY-direction plane. The left and right sides of the second XZ-direction limiting part 31 are respectively connected to the X-direction limiting blocks 163 on both sides. The upper surface of the second XZ-direction limiting part 31 is connected to the bottom surface of the Z-direction limiting block 162. The Y-direction limiting part 32 can also be a rectangular plate, and the plane of the Y-direction limiting part 32 is perpendicular to the XY-direction plane. At the same time, a insertion groove is provided on the third side plate 12, and the lower end of the Y-direction limiting part 32 is inserted into the insertion groove, thereby limiting the second fastener 3 in the Y direction.

[0056] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 4 includes a first-end manifold 40 and a second-end manifold 41, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the heat sink. Both the first-end manifold 40 and the second-end manifold 41 are circular tubes. A first connecting part 20 is connected to the first-end manifold 40 and has an arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove is fixed to the wall of the first-end manifold 40 by welding or screws. A second connecting part 30 is connected to the second-end manifold 41 and also has an arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove is fixed to the wall of the second-end manifold 41 by welding or screws.

[0057] Optionally, the first end manifold 40 is also connected to an inlet connector 401 and an outlet pipe 403, and the other end of the outlet pipe 403 is connected to an outlet connector 402.

The inlet connector 401 is locked into the third locking cavity 102, the outlet connector 402 is locked into the fourth locking cavity 103, and the outlet pipe 403 is locked into the fifth locking cavity 104, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection between the heat exchanger 4 and the frame 1.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that the inlet connector 401, the outlet pipe 403, and the outlet connector 402 are all located outside the first side plate 10, and the buckle 16 is also located outside the first side plate 10 or the third side plate 12.

[0059] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The inner wall of the second side plate 11 is also provided with a first fixing block 111 and a second fixing block 112. The first fixing block 111 is close to the first side plate 10, and the second fixing block 112 is close to the third side plate 12. The first fixing block 111 and the second fixing block 112 have the same shape and height on the second side plate 11. The first fixing block 111 and the second fixing block 112 are used to limit the heat exchanger 4 in the Z direction. When the heat exchanger 4 is installed into the mounting cavity 15, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 4 is in contact with the lower surfaces of the first fixing block 111 and the second fixing block 112.

[0060] Optionally, both the first fixed stop 111 and the second fixed stop 112 are provided with guide ramps or guide arcs. The heat exchanger 4 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 15 more easily through the guide ramps or guide arcs.

[0061] Refer again Figure 2 and combined Figure 4 A first elastic clamping block 131 and a second elastic clamping block 132 are provided on the inner wall of the fourth side plate 13. The first elastic clamping block 131 is close to the first side plate 10, and the second elastic clamping block 132 is close to the third side plate 12. The first elastic clamping block 131 and the second elastic clamping block 132 have the same shape and height on the fourth side plate 13. The first elastic clamping block 131 and the second elastic clamping block 132 are used to limit the heat exchanger 4 in the Z direction.

[0062] The first elastic clamp 131 is plate-shaped, with one end being arc-shaped and connected to the inner wall of the fourth side plate 13, and the other end being suspended and provided with a Z-direction blocking part. The Z-direction blocking part has a guide slope. When the heat exchanger 4 is installed, the heat exchanger 4 slides over the guide slope and moves in the negative Z direction. The upper surface of the heat exchanger 4 is in contact with the lower surface of the Z-direction blocking part, thereby limiting the heat exchanger 4 in the Z direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a bottom frame 14, which is connected to at least three of the first side plate 10, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 12, and the fourth side plate 13; or, the bottom frame 14 is integrally injection molded with the first side plate 10, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 12, and the fourth side plate 13. The bottom frame 14 is provided with multiple slots for mounting fans.

[0064] Optionally, four elastic plates 151 are provided on the bottom frame 14. One end of the elastic plate 151 is fixed to the bottom frame 14, and the other end is suspended and higher than the upper surface of the bottom frame 14. The four elastic plates 151 are located near the four corners of the bottom frame 14 and are in contact with the bottom surface of the heat exchanger 4. The elastic plates 151 can limit the Z-axis movement of the heat exchanger 4 and also play a buffering role during the installation of the heat exchanger 4.

[0065] It should be understood that the X, Y, Z, XY, and XZ directions described in this embodiment are based on the accompanying drawings and should not be interpreted as limiting descriptions.

[0066] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an automotive cooling module, including a heat exchanger 4, multiple fans, and the aforementioned mounting bracket. The heat exchanger 4 and multiple fans are all housed in the mounting cavity 15 of the mounting bracket. The fans are located at the lower part of the heat exchanger 4, and the heat exchanger 4 limits and fixes the fans.

[0067] When assembling the mounting bracket, heat exchanger 4, and fan according to the present invention, the fan is first installed in the corresponding position of the mounting cavity 15. Then, the heat exchanger 4 is pushed from the fourth side plate 13 to the second side plate 11, so that the first fixing block 111 and the second fixing block 112 on the second side plate 11 lock the heat exchanger 4. Then, the first fastener 2 on the heat exchanger 4 is aligned with the first locking cavity 101, and the second fastener 3 is aligned with the second locking cavity 121. Then, the side of the heat exchanger 4 closest to the fourth side plate 13 is pressed down, so that the first fastener 2 and the second fastener 3 are engaged with the buckle 16, and the first elastic clamp 131 and the second elastic clamp 132 lock the heat exchanger 4.
