Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of radiator technology, and in particular to a radiator protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] The car radiator is a major component of the car's cooling system and an important part of the engine. Its main function is to dissipate heat. Coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to dissipate the heat, and then returns to the water jacket in a continuous cycle, thus achieving the effect of heat dissipation and temperature regulation. The car radiator is mainly composed of the radiator core, water pipes, radiator fins, upper tank, and lower tank. If the car radiator malfunctions or leaks, it may cause the engine to overheat, be damaged, or malfunction.
[0003] Currently, car radiators are not adequately protected during use, making them susceptible to damage in vehicle collisions, and their installation on the vehicle frame is neither convenient nor quick. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a radiator protection structure to address the problems of insufficient protection of traditional car radiators during use, their susceptibility to damage in vehicle collisions, and the inconvenience and slowness of installing car radiators onto vehicle frames.
[0005] This application provides a heat sink protection structure, including:
[0006] Frame;
[0007] The bumper is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame;
[0008] An installation component is mounted on the vehicle frame. The installation component has a used state and an unused state. When the installation component is in the used state, it is inserted into the vehicle frame to fix the relative position between the installation component and the vehicle frame. When the installation component is in the unused state, it is slidably connected to the vehicle frame.
[0009] A water tank assembly is disposed inside the vehicle frame and is fixedly connected to the mounting assembly.
[0010] This application relates to a radiator protection structure, which includes a frame, a bumper, a mounting assembly, and a radiator assembly. The frame is a metal frame structure with a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove pre-set at its top and bottom. A first locking groove is evenly distributed within the first limiting groove, and a second locking groove is evenly distributed within the second limiting groove. The bumper is fixed to the front end of the frame by welding or bolts to resist external impacts. The mounting assembly consists of four locking members (a first locking member, a second locking member, a third locking member, and a fourth locking member), symmetrically arranged at the top and bottom of the frame, and fixedly connected to the radiator assembly by bolts. The radiator assembly houses the radiator core and cooling pipes, and is installed within an internal cavity of the frame to improve the protection of the radiator assembly and the ease of installation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first turntable 131c and the second turntable 132c are rotated respectively to drive the first threaded rod 131b and the second threaded rod 132b to rotate. Since the first threaded rod 131b is threadedly engaged with the first bracket 131a and the second threaded rod 132b is threadedly engaged with the second bracket 132a, the first locking block 131d moves axially with the first threaded rod 131b and inserts into the first limiting groove 111 at the top of the frame 11. The second locking block 132d moves axially with the second threaded rod 132b and inserts into the first limiting groove 111 at the top of the frame 11, and is fixed in position by the first locking groove 111a. At this time, the first limiting rod 131e, the second limiting rod 131f, the third limiting rod 132e, and the fourth limiting rod 132f are respectively inserted into the reserved holes of the first bracket 131a and the second bracket 132a, restricting the rotational freedom of the locking blocks.

[0053] The third threaded rod 133b is rotatably mounted on the third bracket 133a, and the third threaded rod 133b is threadedly connected to the third bracket 133a.
[0054] The third turntable 133c is fixedly connected to one end of the third threaded rod 133b.
[0055] The third locking block 133d is rotatably connected to the other end of the third threaded rod 133b, and the third locking block 133d is inserted into the frame 11.
[0056] The fifth limiting rod 133e is disposed on one side of the third threaded rod 133b. One end of the fifth limiting rod 133e is fixedly connected to the third locking block 133d, and the other end of the fifth limiting rod 133e is inserted into the third bracket 133a.
[0057] The sixth limiting rod 133f is disposed on the other side of the third threaded rod 133b. One end of the sixth limiting rod 133f is fixedly connected to the third locking block 133d, and the other end of the sixth limiting rod 133f is inserted into the third bracket 133a.
[0058] The fourth locking element 134 includes: a fourth bracket 134a, a fourth threaded rod 134b, a fourth turntable 134c, a fourth locking block 134d, a seventh limiting rod 134e, and an eighth limiting rod.
[0059] The fourth bracket 134a is slidably disposed at the bottom of the frame 11. The fourth bracket 134a is disposed on one side of the third bracket 133a. The fourth bracket 134a is fixedly connected to the water tank assembly 14 by bolts.
[0060] The fourth threaded rod 134b is rotatably mounted on the fourth bracket 134a, and the fourth threaded rod 134b is threadedly connected to the fourth bracket 134a.
[0061] The fourth turntable 134c is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth threaded rod 134b.
[0062] The fourth locking block 134d is rotatably connected to the other end of the fourth threaded rod 134b, and the fourth locking block 134d is inserted into the frame 11.
[0063] The seventh limiting rod 134e is disposed on one side of the fourth threaded rod 134b. One end of the seventh limiting rod 134e is fixedly connected to the fourth locking block 134d, and the other end of the seventh limiting rod 134e is inserted into the fourth bracket 134a.
[0064] The eighth limiting rod 134f is disposed on the other side of the fourth threaded rod 134b. One end of the eighth limiting rod 134f is fixedly connected to the fourth locking block 134d, and the other end of the eighth limiting rod 134f is inserted into the fourth bracket 134a.
[0065] Specifically, when the mounting component 13 is switched to the unused state, the first turntable 131c, the second turntable 132c, the third turntable 133c, and the fourth turntable 134c are rotated in reverse to allow the first locking block 131d, the second locking block 132d, the third locking block 133d, and the fourth locking block 134d to retract from their respective limit slots. At this time, the first bracket 131a, the second bracket 132a, the third bracket 133a, and the fourth bracket 134a can all slide relative to the frame 11.
[0066] In this embodiment, the third turntable 133c and the fourth turntable 134c rotate synchronously, driving the third threaded rod 133b and the fourth threaded rod 134b to rotate, so that the third locking block 133d and the fourth locking block 134d are both inserted into the second limiting groove 112 at the bottom of the frame 11 and fixed by the second locking groove 112a. The fifth limiting rod 133e, the sixth limiting rod 133f, the seventh limiting rod 134e, and the eighth limiting rod 134f are inserted into the limiting holes of the third bracket 133a and the fourth bracket 134a, ensuring that the locking blocks move only axially.
[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the structures of the first support 131a, the second support 132a, the third support 133a, and the fourth support 134a are all the same.
[0068] Specifically, the first bracket 131a, the second bracket 132a, the third bracket 133a, and the fourth bracket 134a adopt a unified specification design, with the sliding guide rails, threaded holes, and limit rod holes of each bracket being completely identical, ensuring component interchangeability. This design simplifies the assembly process and reduces spare parts management costs.
[0069] The side walls of the first limiting groove 111 and the second limiting groove 112 of the frame 11 are respectively provided with a first locking groove 111a and a second locking groove 112a, and the spacing is adjusted according to the size of the radiator. When the locking block is inserted into the locking groove at different positions, it can adapt to the installation requirements of different models of water tank assembly 14, thereby improving the versatility of the structure.
[0070] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and the execution order of the method steps is not restricted. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
