Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive radiator quality testing technology, specifically relating to a fixed bracket for automotive radiator vibration testing. Background Art
[0002] In a car's cooling system, the radiator is the core heat dissipation component. The radiator mainly consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, the outlet chamber, and the core. The hot coolant that absorbs heat from inside the car system enters the inlet chamber from the outside and then flows into the core, where it exchanges heat with the cold air outside the core and becomes cold. The cooled coolant then enters the outlet chamber and flows back into the car system for heat exchange, thus continuously circulating to dissipate heat.
[0003] Before leaving the factory, radiators need to undergo necessary vibration tests to check their quality and detect any leaks. The conventional testing method involves clamping the radiator on both sides using a fixture, then fixing the fixture to a vibration test bench. However, existing fixtures often lack stability when clamping the radiator, causing it to easily slide and shift during vibration testing, sometimes even deforming. In severe cases, it may even detach from the fixture, damaging the radiator. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fixed bracket for automotive radiator vibration testing that can stably clamp the radiator.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A fixed support for a vibration test of an automotive radiator includes a base frame and a protective frame. The base frame is a hollow frame with an open top, and its bottom is fixed to the vibration test platform. The protective frame is suspended on the base frame and is a rectangular frame structure formed by slotted plates 1, 2, 3, and 4. Slotted plates 1 and 3 are vertically arranged on both sides of slotted plate 2, and the lower ends of slotted plates 1 and 3 are vertically fixed to the two ends of slotted plate 2, respectively. Slotted plates 2 and 4 are arranged horizontally, and the two ends of slotted plate 4 are detachably fixed to the upper ends of slotted plates 1 and 3, respectively. The outer walls of slotted plates 2 and 4 are detachably fixed to both sides of the base frame. The inner sides of slotted plates 1, 2, 3, and 4 are provided with slots that mate with the outer side of the automotive radiator.
[0007] Furthermore, to better secure the car radiator and prevent external wear, an elastic pad is installed on the inner wall of the slot. The elastic pad has a U-shaped cross-section and is used to cover and secure the radiator to the outside.
[0008] Furthermore, to facilitate disassembly and folding for storage when not in use, thus avoiding space occupation, the base frame includes a main frame body, an upper connecting plate, and a lower connecting plate. There are two main frame bodies arranged in parallel. The upper connecting plates are two plates vertically positioned at both ends of the main frame bodies, with both ends of each upper connecting plate detachably connected to the top of the two main frame bodies via bolts. The lower connecting plates are two plates vertically positioned at both ends of the main frame bodies, with both ends of each lower connecting plate detachably connected to the sides of the two main frame bodies via bolts.
[0009] The fixed bracket for the vibration test of the car radiator described in this utility model can stably clamp the radiator. During the test, the radiator will not slide or shift, and it is not easy to deform or fall off. It can well meet the requirements of the entire vibration test and ensure the reliability of the test results. Moreover, when not in use, it can be disassembled and folded for storage, taking up little space. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a fixed bracket for a car radiator vibration test, including a base frame 1 and a protective frame 2.
[0019] The base frame 1 is a hollow frame with an open top. The base frame 1 has an overall hollow cuboid structure and serves as a supporting base. The bottom of the base frame 1 is fixed to the vibration test table with bolts.
[0020] The protective frame 2 is suspended on the base frame 1, with the lower part of the protective frame 2 suspended inside the base frame 1 and the upper part of the protective frame 2 suspended above the base frame 1.
[0021] The protective frame 2 is a rectangular frame structure formed by slotted plate 1 21, slotted plate 22, slotted plate 3 23, and slotted plate 4 24. Slotted plate 1 21 and slotted plate 3 22 are respectively vertically arranged on both sides of slotted plate 2 22, and the lower ends of slotted plate 1 21 and slotted plate 3 23 are respectively vertically fixed to the two ends of slotted plate 2 22. The connection between slotted plate 1 21 and slotted plate 2 22, and the connection between slotted plate 3 23 and slotted plate 2 22 are fixed with two bolt pairs. After one bolt pair at the connection between slotted plate 1 21 and slotted plate 2 22 or the connection between slotted plate 3 23 and slotted plate 2 22 is removed, slotted plate 1 21 and slotted plate 2 22 or slotted plate 3 23 and slotted plate 2 22 can rotate around the remaining bolt pair. The second slot plate 22 and the fourth slot plate 24 are arranged horizontally. The two ends of the fourth slot plate 24 are detachably fixed to the upper ends of the first slot plate 21 and the third slot plate 23 by bolt pairs. The outer walls of the second slot plate 22 and the fourth slot plate 24 are respectively welded and fixed with protruding plates 25. The two protruding plates 25 are respectively erected on both sides of the top of the base frame 1 and are detachably fixed to both sides of the top of the base frame 1 by bolt pairs. The inner sides of the first slot plate 21, the second slot plate 22, the third slot plate 23 and the fourth slot plate 24 are all provided with slots 26 that cooperate with the outer side of the car radiator 3.
[0022] The steps for conducting the test are as follows:
[0023] (1) Remove the fourth slot plate 24 from the upper end of the first slot plate 21 and the upper end of the third slot plate 23. Then remove one of the bolt pairs at the connection between the third slot plate 23 and the second slot plate 22, and loosen the other bolt pair so that the third slot plate 23 is in a rotatable state. Then open the third slot plate 23 outward.
[0024] (2) Insert the bottom of the car radiator 3 into the slot 26 of the slot plate 1 21, and insert one side of the car radiator 3 into the slot 26 of the slot plate 22.
[0025] (3) Rotate the slot plate 23 so that its slot 26 is locked on the other side of the car radiator 3.
[0026] (4) Finally, insert the slot 26 of the slot 4 24 into the top of the car radiator 3, and then use bolts to fix the two ends of the slot 4 24 to the upper end of the slot 1 21 and the upper end of the slot 3 23 respectively, to complete the clamping of the car radiator 3.
[0027] (5) Fix the bottom of the base frame 1 to the vibration test table.
[0028] (6) Insert the protective frame 2 with the car radiator 3 clamped on from top to bottom into the base frame 1 through the opening at the top of the base frame 1, and fix the protruding plates 25 on both sides of the protective frame 2 to the top of both sides of the base frame 1 with bolts.
[0029] (7) Start the vibration test bench to conduct the test. After the test is completed, remove the tested car radiator 3 in reverse order of the above steps.
[0030] The car radiator 3 can be pre-clamped in the protective frame 2. When testing is required, the protective frame 2 with the car radiator 3 clamped can be directly installed on the base frame 1 to improve the clamping and testing speed. The above method can achieve stable clamping of the car radiator 3. During the experiment, the car radiator 3 will not slide, shift, deform, or fall off, which can well meet the requirements of the entire vibration test and ensure the reliability of the test results. Example 2
[0031] In order to better secure the car radiator 3 and avoid wear on the exterior of the car radiator 3, the following structure is added to this embodiment based on embodiment 1.
[0032] An elastic pad is installed on the inner wall of the slot 26. The elastic pad has a U-shaped cross-section and is used to cover and secure it to the outside of the car radiator 3. The elastic pad is made of any one or more of rubber, sponge, latex, and polyurethane elastic. Example 3
[0033] In order to disassemble and fold the item when not in use to avoid taking up space, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 1 includes a main frame 11, an upper connecting plate 12, and a lower connecting plate 13. The main frame 11 consists of two parallel square frames. The upper connecting plate 12 consists of two plates vertically positioned at both ends of the main frame 11, with both ends of each upper connecting plate 12 detachably connected to the top of the two main frame 11 by bolts. The lower connecting plate 13 consists of two plates vertically positioned at both ends of the main frame 11, with both ends of each lower connecting plate 13 detachably connected to the side of the two main frame 11 by bolts. The number of upper connecting plates 12 and lower connecting plates 13 can be increased as needed.
[0035] When the base frame 1 is not in use, the upper connecting plate 12 and the lower connecting plate 13 are removed from the main frame 11 respectively, and then stacked together with the two main frames 11 to save space.
