Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a deflector, and more particularly to a modular deflector for an automotive air radiator. Background Technology
[0002] An automotive air radiator deflector is an accessory installed at the front of a vehicle's radiator. Its main function is to guide airflow and optimize the radiator's cooling effect. It helps reduce wind resistance, improve cooling efficiency, and to some extent reduce air noise. The air radiator deflectors used in existing hybrid models are U-shaped, integrally injection-molded parts with dimensions of 775mm × 548mm × 218mm. These products are quite large, resulting in high development costs. This type of large, integral deflector has the following drawbacks: 1. It occupies a large space, making it difficult to store and transport; 2. The storage rack needs to be specially manufactured, with dimensions of 1900mm × 800mm × 2100mm, resulting in a large rack size and high investment costs; 3. The mold structure design is complex, leading to high mold development costs; 4. The injection molding equipment is 1400T, requiring a large machine and increasing injection molding costs; 5. If there are any changes to the part's dimensions or shape, the entire product may need to be redeveloped. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an assembled automotive air radiator deflector, which is composed of an upper deflector, a left deflector and a right deflector, which reduces the space occupied, is easy to store and transport, and greatly reduces the cost of mold development and production.
[0004] The technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problem is: a modular automotive air radiator deflector, comprising an upper deflector, a left deflector, and a right deflector. Side plates are fixed to both ends of the upper deflector, and an assembly component is fixedly mounted on each side plate. The assembly component includes two clips and a guide plate located between the two clips. A groove is formed between the clips and the side plates. Two mounting holes that mate with the clips and one guide hole that mates with the guide plate are each opened at one end of the left and right deflectors. The left and right deflectors are respectively fastened into the grooves at both ends of the upper deflector through the mounting holes. The guide plates at both ends of the upper deflector are located within the guide holes of the left and right deflectors, respectively.
[0005] Furthermore, the guide hole is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide plate is a trapezoid with a longer inner side and a shorter outer side, which is fixed to the side plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer end face of the guide plate is provided with an inclined surface to facilitate entry into the guide hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the buckle is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface that gradually thickens from the outer end to the middle.
[0008] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are provided on the upper guide plate, left guide plate, and right guide plate.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. The spatial dimensions of the modular automotive air radiator deflector of this utility model have been changed from 775mm×548mm×218mm of the overall structure to 778mm×170mm×77mm and 513mm×91mm×182mm. The product occupies less space, is easier to store, and is more convenient to transport.
[0011] 2. The existing U-shaped integral structure guide plate packaging rack has dimensions of 1900mm×800mm×2100mm, with 18 pieces / frame, and the rack needs to be newly trial-produced, which is a special rack and has high investment costs; This utility model has an assembled structure, with the upper guide plate using general-purpose plastic box E, 10 pieces / box, and the left / right guide plates using general-purpose plastic box B, 10 pieces / box. General-purpose plastic boxes have strong versatility and low turnover costs.
[0012] 3. The existing U-shaped integral structure guide vane mold costs 320,000 yuan and has a complex mold structure design; the new utility model's modular upper guide vane mold costs 115,000 yuan and the left / right guide vane mold costs 110,000 yuan, totaling 225,000 yuan. The mold structure design is simple and greatly reduces the mold cost.
[0013] 4. The existing U-shaped integral structure guide vane injection molding equipment is 1400T, which requires a large machine and has high injection molding costs; the modular guide vane injection molding equipment of this utility model is 500T, which greatly reduces injection molding costs.
[0014] 5. The upper guide plate, left guide plate and right guide plate of this utility model are all equipped with reinforcing ribs, which improves the structural strength.
[0015] 6. If there are changes to the size or shape of the component, only one board needs to be redeveloped and replaced, which greatly reduces the cost of changes and makes product matching and changes more flexible.
[0016] In summary, the modular guide vane injection molding part of this utility model has good structural strength, small mold size, requires a small tonnage injection molding machine, can be packaged in a general plastic frame, is easy to transport, and is not easily deformed, which greatly reduces the cost of mold development and mass production (injection molding, packaging, and transportation).

[0029] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] Example 1: A modular automotive air radiator deflector, such as Figures 1-10As shown, the assembly includes an upper guide plate 1, a left guide plate 2, and a right guide plate 3. Side plates 8 are fixed to both ends of the upper guide plate 1. An assembly assembly is fixedly installed on the side plates. The assembly assembly includes two clips 4 and a guide plate 5 located between the two clips. The clips 4 and the side plates 8 form a groove 7. One end of the left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3 is provided with two mounting holes 9 that cooperate with the clips 4 and a guide hole 10 that cooperates with the guide plate 5. The left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3 are fastened to the grooves 7 at both ends of the upper guide plate 1 through the mounting holes 9. The guide plates 5 at both ends of the upper guide plate 1 are located in the guide holes 10 of the left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3, respectively. After assembly, the two ends of the upper guide plate 1 are connected to the left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3 to form a U-shaped structure. The guide plate 5 of the upper guide plate and the guide holes 10 of the left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3 are required to have high precision in order to achieve accurate positioning. The fitting precision of the mounting holes 9 of the left guide plate 2 and the right guide plate 3 and the buckle 4 of the upper guide plate is less than that of the guide holes, but there should not be too much looseness.
[0031] In this embodiment, the buckle 4 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface that gradually thickens from the outer end (the end away from the side plate) to the middle. Both the guide hole 10 and the mounting hole 9 are rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide plate 5 is a trapezoid with a longer inner side and a shorter outer side, fixed to the side plate. Figure 6 As shown. The outer end face of the guide plate 5 is provided with an inclined surface 51 to facilitate entry into the guide hole, as shown. Figure 4 As shown. The design of the guide plate 5 and the latch 4 is to provide a larger contact surface, making the guidance more accurate and stable, and ensuring that the guide plate 5 and the latch 4 can accurately enter the guide hole 10 and the mounting hole 9. A groove 41 is provided in the thicker part of the back of the latch 4 to prevent injection molding shrinkage. Alternatively, the guide plate and latch can adopt other designs, as long as they can smoothly enter the guide hole 10 and the mounting hole 9.
[0032] In this embodiment, reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the upper guide plate, the left guide plate and the right guide plate. The reinforcing ribs 6 can be set in a grid shape, or they can be arranged in parallel horizontally or in parallel vertically.
[0033] Assembly process:
[0034] During assembly, fix the upper guide plate, align the guide holes 10 of the left and right guide plates with the guide plates 5 of the upper guide plate, and then gently push the left and right guide plates by hand. The clips will then snap into the mounting holes 9 of the left and right guide plates, securing them in the slots 7. At the same time, the guide plates 5 of the upper guide plate will enter the guide holes 10 of the left and right guide plates, completing the assembly. This assembly structure is easy to assemble but difficult to disassemble, making it relatively stable and avoiding the risk of automatic detachment during use.
[0035] If disassembly is required for repair, the left / right deflector can be lifted slightly before it can be removed (it is difficult to remove it if it is not lifted).
