Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of oil cooler mounting brackets, specifically a pressure-resistant oil cooler mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Oil coolers, as important heat exchange devices, are widely used in engines, transmissions, and other hydraulic systems to effectively reduce the operating temperature of the system and maintain the normal operating temperature of the equipment. However, in practical applications, the performance of oil coolers depends not only on their cooling effect but also on the design and materials of their support brackets. Deformation of the oil cooler brackets during installation, especially the weakness of their materials, has become a significant factor affecting the service life and performance of the equipment.

[0003] Currently, most oil cooler brackets are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has excellent lightweight, corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity, making it widely used in oil cooler brackets. However, aluminum alloy has relatively low torsional strength. During installation of wiring harnesses or connectors, excessive force or misalignment can lead to permanent deformation of the bracket. A deformed bracket not only fails to guarantee the proper installation position of the oil cooler but may also affect the connection strength of the cooling system, potentially causing the oil cooler to malfunction and fail to achieve the expected performance with other components, further impacting the overall cooling system's performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a pressure-resistant oil cooler mounting bracket. Through optimized structural design, the strength and pressure resistance of the bracket are enhanced, thereby effectively avoiding performance degradation caused by bracket deformation during oil cooler installation. The specific solution is as follows: The mounting bracket is a Z-shaped bent plate structure, including a mounting surface, a fixing surface, and a connecting part. The mounting surface and the fixing surface are parallel to each other and connected by the connecting part. The connecting part is perpendicular to both the mounting surface and the fixing surface. The mounting surface is used to connect and fix to the oil cooler, and the fixing surface is used to fix and install to the frame. A first reinforcing rib is provided between the fixing surface and the connecting part to increase the overall structural strength. The first reinforcing rib is integrally stamped.

[0005] Preferably, the first reinforcing rib is a dome-shaped structure, with one end of the first reinforcing rib connected to the middle of the connecting part and the other end of the first reinforcing rib connected to the middle of the fixing surface.

[0006] Preferably, both sides of the first reinforcing rib are provided with inclined transitions. The inclined transitions are triangular, with the three sides connecting the mounting surface, the fixing surface, and the first reinforcing rib, respectively. The included angle between the two inclined transitions is an obtuse angle that facilitates demolding.

[0007] Preferably, a second reinforcing rib is provided between the mounting surface and the connecting part to increase the overall structural strength, and the second reinforcing rib is integrally stamped.

[0008] Preferably, the second reinforcing rib has a dome-shaped arch structure and its opening is opposite to the opening of the first reinforcing rib.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting bracket is made of 6063 aluminum alloy.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting surface is provided with mounting holes for connecting and fixing with the oil cooler, and the fixing surface is provided with elongated slots for fixing and mounting with the frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a pressure-resistant oil cooler mounting bracket, which has the following advantages:

[0012] Enhanced support strength: By adopting the first and second reinforcing ribs of the dome arch structure, the overall structural strength of the support is significantly improved, effectively preventing deformation caused by uneven force or excessive pressure during installation, thus ensuring the installation stability of the oil cooler. Compared with the mounting bracket without the first and second reinforcing ribs, the pressure resistance can reach more than 50 N·m, while the pressure resistance of the existing mounting bracket is generally only about 30 N·m.

[0013] Improve the load-bearing capacity of the support: The design of the first and second reinforcing ribs can optimize the load distribution, reduce the stress concentration of the overall structure, ensure that the support can operate stably for a long time in harsh working environments, and reduce failures caused by deformation.

[0014] Improved production efficiency: The sloping transition design makes demolding of the bracket during the production process smoother, and the one-piece molding design reduces the difficulty and cost of production, thereby improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a pressure-resistant oil cooler mounting bracket. Through optimized structural design, it enhances the bracket's strength and pressure resistance, effectively preventing performance degradation caused by bracket deformation during oil cooler installation. The following is a detailed embodiment of this mounting bracket:

[0020] 1. Mounting bracket structure design

[0021] In this embodiment, the oil cooler mounting bracket adopts a Z-shaped bent plate structure, specifically including a mounting surface 1, a fixing surface 4, and a connecting part 3. The mounting surface 1 is parallel to the fixing surface 4 and is connected together by the connecting part 3. It is worth noting that the mounting surface 1 and the fixing surface 4 can also form a certain angle instead of being parallel. The connecting part 3 is perpendicular to both the mounting surface 1 and the fixing surface 4. The mounting surface 1 is used to connect and fix the oil cooler, while the fixing surface 4 is used to fix the mounting to the frame. This structural design is simple and effectively ensures the connection stability between the oil cooler and the bracket, as well as the overall load-bearing capacity of the bracket.

[0022] 2. Reinforcing Rib Design

[0023] To improve the overall strength of the support structure, especially in the load-bearing parts, a first reinforcing rib 6 is provided between the fixed surface 4 and the connecting part 3. This first reinforcing rib 6 adopts a dome-shaped arch structure, which helps optimize the compressive strength of the support structure, allowing it to better distribute external loads and reduce deformation caused by force concentration. One end of the first reinforcing rib 6 is connected to the middle of the connecting part 3, and the other end is connected to the middle of the fixed surface 4, further improving the overall structural rigidity of the support structure.

[0024] Meanwhile, the first reinforcing rib 6 has inclined transition areas 8 on both sides. The inclined transition 8 adopts a triangular structure. The connection angle between the inclined surface and the mounting surface 1, the fixing surface 4 and the first reinforcing rib 6 are all obtuse angles that are easy to demold. This not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the structure, but also ensures that the demolding can be completed smoothly during the manufacturing process, reducing the production difficulty.

[0025] 3. Design of the second reinforcing rib 7

[0026] To further enhance the strength of the support, a second reinforcing rib 7 is provided between the mounting surface 1 and the connecting part 3. This second reinforcing rib 7 also adopts a dome-shaped arch structure, and its opening faces away from the opening of the first reinforcing rib 6. The addition of the second reinforcing rib 7 further improves the overall compressive strength of the support, enabling it to maintain its shape stability under greater loads and avoid deformation.

[0027] 4. Material Selection

[0028] The bracket is made of 6063 aluminum alloy, which boasts excellent lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for use in heat exchange equipment such as oil coolers. 6063 aluminum alloy not only provides sufficient strength but also ensures the stability and durability of the bracket during long-term use, reducing the risk of malfunctions due to material aging or corrosion.

[0029] 5. Design of mounting hole 2 and elongated slot 5

[0030] To ensure the stability of the connection between the bracket and the oil cooler and the frame, mounting surface 1 is provided with mounting holes 2 for connecting and fixing to the oil cooler, and mounting surface 4 is provided with elongated slots 5 for fixing to the frame. The design of mounting holes 2 and elongated slots 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure flexibility and operability during bracket installation.

[0031] It is worth noting that the positions of the first reinforcing rib 6 and the second reinforcing rib 7 can be achieved by adding protrusions to the corner of the mold during a single thin plate bending process. It is even possible to add corresponding protrusions to the existing mold without redesigning the mold, which can further reduce production costs.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
