Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiator technology, specifically to a high-strength side plate for automotive radiators. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive radiator is an important component of the car's cooling system. It mainly consists of an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, and a radiator core. The side plates are located on both sides of the radiator and mainly serve to fix and support the radiator core, preventing it from moving or deforming during operation. At the same time, the side plates are also part of the overall structure of the radiator.

[0003] Existing patent publication number CN217976369U discloses a vehicle radiator with high-strength side plates, including an upper water chamber, a lower water chamber, and a radiator core. Side plates are connected to both sides of the radiator core, and the side plates have honeycomb holes on their sides. The side plates are connected by bent connecting sections with protruding ribs, forming clearance grooves between the protruding ribs and the back of the side plates. Reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to the side plates, and snap-fit ​​posts are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the side plates. This type of vehicle radiator with high-strength side plates improves the strength and rigidity of the side plates by setting uniformly arranged honeycomb holes, thus improving uneven stress distribution, reducing the weight of the side plates, increasing the contact area between the side plates and air, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the side plates. The clearance grooves provide space for thermal expansion and contraction of the side plates, reducing the probability of radiator damage due to side plate expansion and increasing service life.

[0004] The above-mentioned solution has the following problems during implementation. The device improves the strength and rigidity of the side plate by setting uniformly arranged honeycomb holes on the side plate, and can also better dissipate heat and prevent the side plate from deforming due to heat. However, the side plate of the device is only fixed by snap-fit ​​posts, which is not stable enough. This makes it easy to loosen, thus affecting the protection effect on the radiator. Moreover, the side plate is also easy to be damaged by impact, which greatly reduces the practicality of the device. To solve the above problems, we provide a high-strength side plate for automotive radiators. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-strength side plate for automotive radiators, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the side plate of the device is only fixed by a snap-fit ​​main clip, which is not stable enough and is prone to loosening, thus affecting the protection effect on the radiator. Moreover, the side plate is also easily damaged by impacts, which greatly reduces the practicality of the device.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-strength side plate for a vehicle radiator, comprising a radiator core, with an upper water chamber and a lower water chamber respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the radiator core. Each radiator core is equipped with a U-shaped side plate, and each set of U-shaped side plates has honeycomb holes evenly spaced on its surface. Both ends of the radiator core are provided with mounting components for fixing the U-shaped side plates. Each set of U-shaped side plates has buffer components on both sides of the end away from the radiator core for cushioning when the U-shaped side plate is impacted.

[0007] The above technical solution, by setting honeycomb holes, can improve the strength and rigidity of the U-shaped side plate, and at the same time, it can better dissipate heat.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, reinforcing crossbars are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of each group of U-shaped side panels, and reinforcing vertical bars are fixedly connected between each pair of reinforcing crossbars.

[0009] The above technical solution allows for the installation of reinforcing horizontal and vertical bars to strengthen the U-shaped side panel, providing better support and preventing deformation, thus greatly increasing its stability.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of U-shaped side plates is connected to insert blocks at both ends, each set of insert blocks has threaded holes at its side ends, each set of mounting components includes two sets of fixing rods and several sets of screws, each set of two fixing rods is installed on the side end of the radiator core, each set of U-shaped side plates is positioned between two sets of fixing rods, each set of fixing rods has slots on both sides of the end near the U-shaped side plate, each set of insert blocks is inserted into the slots, each set of fixing rods has connecting holes at both ends, each set of slots has threaded grooves on its inner wall corresponding to the connecting holes and threaded holes, and each set of screws passes through the connecting holes and threaded holes and is inserted into the threaded grooves.

[0011] The above technical solution enables the U-shaped side plate to be installed and fixed, making the installation more stable and less prone to loosening. This provides better protection for the radiator core and greatly increases the practicality of the device.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a handle is installed at the end of each screw that is away from the fixing rod.

[0013] The above technical solution makes it easier to operate by holding and turning the handle, which in turn drives the screw to rotate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of buffer components includes a mounting rod, each set of mounting rods is installed on the side end of the U-shaped side plate, and each set of mounting rods has a sliding groove on both sides of the end away from the U-shaped side plate. Each set of sliding grooves has a limiting rod installed inside, and each set of limiting rods has a slider slidably sleeved on the side of the limiting rod closest to the center of the mounting rod. Each set of limiting rods has a spring sleeved on the side away from the center of the mounting rod, and the spring abuts against the slider. The outer end of each set of sliders is connected to a connecting rod through a hinge, and the ends of the two sets of connecting rods away from the sliders are connected to a buffer plate through a hinge.

[0015] The above technical solution can act as a buffer, reducing the impact force and the possibility of damage to the U-shaped side panel, thereby increasing the service life of the U-shaped side panel.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a buffer pad is glued to the end of each set of mounting rods near the buffer plate.

[0019] The above technical solution enables the buffer plate to move closer to the U-shaped side plate, which in turn causes the telescopic rod to extend and retract, compressing the second spring. The second spring, through the restoring force of the first spring, can also give the buffer plate a reverse thrust, thereby improving the buffering effect.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention, by incorporating an installation component, allows for the secure installation of the U-shaped side plate. This ensures a more stable installation, reducing the likelihood of loosening and thus better protecting the radiator core. Furthermore, the inclusion of a buffer component provides cushioning against impacts, minimizing the possibility of damage and extending the lifespan of the U-shaped side plate. This enhanced protection significantly improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a high-strength side plate for a vehicle radiator, including a radiator core 1. An upper water chamber 11 and a lower water chamber 12 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the radiator core 1. U-shaped side plates 2 are provided for each set of the radiator core 1. Honeycomb holes 21 are equidistantly opened on the surface of each set of U-shaped side plates 2. Mounting assemblies 3 for mounting and fixing the U-shaped side plates 2 are provided at both ends of the radiator core 1. Two... Each side is equipped with a buffer assembly 4 to cushion the impact when the U-shaped side plate 2 is hit. The upper and lower sides of the inner wall of each U-shaped side plate 2 are fixedly connected with reinforcing crossbars 22, and reinforcing vertical bars 23 are fixedly connected between each pair of reinforcing crossbars 22. The reinforcing crossbars 22 and reinforcing vertical bars 23 can reinforce the U-shaped side plate 2 and better support it, making the U-shaped side plate 2 less prone to deformation and greatly increasing its stability.

[0031] It should be noted that by setting the U-shaped side plate 2, the U-shaped side plate 2 can be installed without being in contact with the outer wall of the heat sink core 1, which improves the heat dissipation effect and also makes the U-shaped side plate 2 less prone to deformation due to heat.

[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each U-shaped side plate 2 has inserts 24 connected to both its upper and lower ends. Each insert 24 has threaded holes 25 on its side. Each mounting assembly 3 includes two sets of fixing rods 31 and several sets of screws 35. Each pair of fixing rods 31 is installed on the side of the radiator core 1. Each U-shaped side plate 2 is positioned between two sets of fixing rods 31. Each fixing rod 31 has slots 32 on both sides near the U-shaped side plate 2. Each insert 24 is inserted into the slots 32. Each fixing rod 31 has connecting holes 33 at both ends. Each slot 32 has threaded grooves 34 on its inner wall corresponding to the connecting holes 33 and threaded holes 25. Each screw 35 passes through the connecting holes 33 and threaded holes 25 and is inserted into the threaded grooves 34. This structure allows the U-shaped side plate 2 to be placed between the two sets of fixing rods 31. Between 1 and 2, simultaneously align the inserts 24 connected to both ends of the U-shaped side plate 2 with the slots 32 and insert them, so that the threaded holes 25, connecting holes 33 and threaded grooves 34 correspond. Then, align the screws 35 with the connecting holes 33 and insert them, so that the screws 35 pass through the connecting holes 33. Then rotate the screws 35, and through the threaded rotation, the screws 35 pass through the threaded holes 25 until they are inserted into the threaded grooves 34. This allows the U-shaped side plate 2 to be installed and fixed. In this way, the U-shaped side plate 2 is installed more stably and is not easy to loosen, so it can better protect the radiator core 1 and greatly increase the practicality of the device. Each set of screws 35 is equipped with a handle 36 at the end away from the fixing rod 31, so that by holding the handle 36 and turning it, the handle 36 drives the screw 35 to rotate, making the operation more convenient.

[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, each set of buffer components 4 includes a mounting rod 41, which is installed on the side end of the U-shaped side plate 2. Each set of mounting rods 41 has grooves 42 on both sides of the end away from the U-shaped side plate 2. Each groove 42 has a limiting rod 43 installed inside it. A slider 45 is slidably fitted onto the side of each limiting rod 43 closest to the center of the mounting rod 41. A spring 44 is fitted onto the side of each limiting rod 43 away from the center of the mounting rod 41, and the spring 44 abuts against the slider 45. A connecting rod 46 is installed at the outer end of each slider 45 via a hinge. A buffer plate 47 is installed at the end of each connecting rod 46 away from the slider 45 via a hinge. This structure ensures that upon impact, the object first hits the buffer plate 47, pushing it. The buffer plate 47 then pushes the connecting rod 46 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 46 to push the slider 45 to slide along the limiting rod 43 within the groove 42. Block 45 compresses spring 44, causing it to deform. Simultaneously, the spring's elasticity provides a reverse thrust to slider 45, thus buffering the impact and reducing the likelihood of damage to the U-shaped side plate 2, thereby increasing its lifespan. Each mounting rod 41 has a buffer pad 48 glued to one end near the buffer plate 47. The elasticity of the buffer pad 48 also provides some buffering. Telescopic rods 5 are installed between each buffer plate 47 and the U-shaped side plate 2. Each telescopic rod 5 has a spring 51 fitted on its surface. When the buffer plate 47 moves closer to the U-shaped side plate 2, it also causes the telescopic rods 5 to extend and retract, compressing spring 51. Spring 51, through the spring's elasticity, provides a reverse thrust to the buffer plate 47, further enhancing the buffering effect.

[0034] It should be noted that the cushioning pad 48 is usually made of elastic materials, such as rubber and polyurethane. When external force or pressure is applied, these elastic materials will undergo elastic deformation, that is, change shape but not break. This deformation can absorb and disperse the effect of external force, thereby reducing or eliminating impact and vibration.

[0035] Working principle: To install the U-shaped side plate 2, simply place the U-shaped side plate 2 between the two sets of fixing rods 31, and simultaneously align the inserts 24 connected to both ends of the U-shaped side plate 2 with the slots 32 and insert them, so that the threaded holes 25, connecting holes 33 and threaded grooves 34 correspond. Then, the screws 35 can be aligned with the connecting holes 33 and inserted in sequence, so that the screws 35 pass through the connecting holes 33. Then, rotate the screws 35, and through the threaded rotation, the screws 35 pass through the threaded holes 25 until they are inserted into the threaded grooves 34. This will install and fix the U-shaped side plate 2. In this way, the U-shaped side plate 2 is installed more stably and is not easy to loosen, thus better protecting the heat sink core 1.

[0036] In addition, when an object impacts the U-shaped side plate 2, the object will first hit the buffer plate 47, thereby pushing the buffer plate 47. The buffer plate 47 pushes the connecting rod 46 to rotate, and the connecting rod 46 pushes the slider 45 to slide along the limiting rod 43 in the slide groove 42. At this time, the slider 45 will squeeze the spring 44, causing the spring 44 to be compressed and deformed. At the same time, the spring 44 can give the slider 45 a reverse thrust through its elastic force, which can play a buffering role, reduce the impact force, and further reduce the possibility of damage to the U-shaped side plate 2, thereby increasing the service life of the U-shaped side plate 2. Moreover, when the buffer plate 47 moves closer to the U-shaped side plate 2, the buffer plate 47 will also drive the telescopic rod 5 to extend and retract, compressing the spring 51. The spring 51 can also give the buffer plate 47 a reverse thrust through the spring 44, thereby improving the buffering effect and greatly increasing the practicality of the device.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
