Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses an easy-to-install expandable tube car radiator, comprising an expandable tube car radiator body 1 and a frame 2. The frame 2 has a placement groove 3 inside, and multiple slots 4 are provided at the four corners of the placement groove 3. The expandable tube car radiator body 1 has multiple empty slots 6 at the four corners. Two actuating plates 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the expandable tube car radiator body 1. The actuating plates 5 have side plates 7 at both ends that slide with the empty slots 6. The front end of the side plate 7 has a locking block 8 that cooperates with the slots 4. The rear end of the empty slot 6 has a cavity 9. The cavity 9 has a spring 11 inside, and the rear end of the side plate 7 has a support rod 10 that is inserted into the cavity 9 and connected to one end of the spring 11.

[0026] Two limiting components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 1 of the expansion tube type automotive radiator. The limiting components include a fixed base 16, a fixed plate 15, and a threaded limiting ring 18. The upper end of the fixed base 16 is provided with a screw 17 that penetrates the fixed plate 15. The threaded limiting ring 18 is penetrated by the screw 17 and limits the fixed plate 15 on the fixed base 16. The threaded limiting ring 18 is threadedly connected to the screw 17. One side of the actuating plate 5 is provided with multiple grooves 14. Both ends of the fixed plate 15 are provided with protrusions 20 that are inserted into the grooves 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the card block 8 and the card slot 4 are rectangular structures, which makes the body 1 of the expansion tube type automotive radiator more securely installed in the placement slot 3.

[0028] Confirm that the main body 1, frame 2, and all components of the expansion tube type car radiator are intact and undamaged, and prepare the space and necessary tools required for installation;

[0029] The frame 2 is pre-fixed to a designated position on the car with screws, and the body 1 of the expansion tube type car radiator is placed in the placement slot 3 of the frame 2.

[0030] Then push the actuating plates 5 on both sides of the expansion tube type car radiator body 1 to make the side plate 7 slide in the slot 6. At this time, the support rod 10 will compress the spring 11, which will allow the locking block 8 to enter the interior of the slot 6. Then insert the expansion tube type car radiator body 1 into the placement slot 3. Release the actuating plates 5, the spring 11 will return to its original position, and the multiple locking blocks 8 will return to their original position. During this process, the locking blocks 8 will gradually approach the slot 4 as the side plate 7 moves and be inserted into the slot 4. At this time, the expansion tube type car radiator body 1 will be initially positioned on the frame 2. This process does not require the staff to support the four corners of the expansion tube type car radiator one after another, which makes the installation of the expansion tube type car radiator very convenient and efficient.

[0031] Install the mounting base 16 on the corresponding position on the frame 2, pass the mounting plate 15 through the screw 17 on the mounting base 16, and align the protrusions 20 at both ends of the mounting plate 15 with the groove 14 on one side of the actuating plate 5. Rotate the threaded limiting ring 18. Since the threaded limiting ring 18 is threadedly connected to the screw 17, the threaded limiting ring 18 will move along the screw 17 during the rotation. When the threaded limiting ring 18 moves to the appropriate position, it limits the mounting plate 15 on the mounting base 16. At this time, the protrusions 20 are inserted into the groove 14, further limiting the position of the actuating plate 5, thereby strengthening the stability of the radiator body in the frame 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the upper end of the protrusion 20 is provided with a pressure plate 19, which is attached to the positioning plate 13. Since the upper end of the protrusion 20 is provided with a pressure plate 19 and the pressure plate 19 is attached to the fixing plate 15, the connection between the protrusion 20 and the groove 14 is more stable and less prone to loosening.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple actuating blocks are symmetrically arranged on the threaded limiting ring 18. The multiple actuating blocks symmetrically arranged on the threaded limiting ring 18 make it convenient for the operator to manually actuate the threaded limiting ring 18 to perform rotational operations.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 15, the pressure plate 19, and the protrusion 20 can be an integral structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, a damping ring 12 is provided at one end of the support rod 10, and the friction between the damping ring 12 and the cavity 9 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 11, making the body 1 of the expansion tube type car radiator easy to disassemble.

[0036] When disassembling the body 1 of the expansion tube type car radiator, first remove the fixing plate 15, then push the two actuating plates 5 simultaneously to pull out the locking block 8 in the locking groove 4, and then let the damping ring 12 at the support rod 10 enter the cavity 9. Through the friction between the damping ring 12 and the inner wall of the cavity 9, the position of the support rod 10 can be limited, and the position of the locking block 8 can be further limited, so that the body 1 of the expansion tube type car radiator can be taken out in the placement groove 3.
