Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive radiator technology, specifically to an automotive radiator structure that prevents deformation and leakage. Background Technology
[0002] The automobile is a representative industry of modern industry. With economic development, car prices have become more affordable, gradually entering millions of households. A car engine generates a large amount of heat during operation, which needs to be dissipated promptly; otherwise, engine failure can occur. Currently, most car engines and radiators are located at the front of the vehicle. However, cars are very susceptible to collisions while driving. To facilitate heat dissipation, the radiator uses relatively thin iron sheets and copper pipes, which are easily deformed upon impact, leading to damage to the copper pipes. This obstructs the flow of coolant, affecting heat dissipation and, in severe cases, causing leaks. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car radiator structure that prevents deformation and leakage, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a deformation-resistant and leakage-proof automotive radiator structure, comprising a radiator shell, with fixed frames for support and fixation fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the radiator shell. Both the fixed frames and the radiator shell are U-shaped structures. A cooling plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed frames, and a ventilation hole penetrating the cooling plate is provided in the middle of the cooling plate. Multiple heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the side surface of the cooling plate. A cooling pipe is fixedly connected to the interior of the radiator shell, located in the middle of the two fixed frames, with the middle section of the cooling pipe exhibiting alternating vertical and curved sections. The cooling pipe is configured such that positioning plates are provided on both sides of its vertical section to prevent deformation, and protective plates are provided on the side ends of the positioning plates for impact protection. Support columns are provided on both sides of the protective plates. Two sets of elastic plates are fixedly connected between the positioning plates and the protective plates, and each set of elastic plates has at least two elastic plates. A heat-conducting column for heat conduction and impact buffering is inserted in the middle of the protective plate. A heat-conducting sleeve is fixedly connected to the side end of the protective plate. A heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected between the heat-conducting sleeve and the cooling plate. At least two heat-conducting rings are fixedly connected inside the heat-conducting sleeve. The heat-conducting rings are used to prevent the movement of the heat-conducting column from being affected during impact.
[0005] Preferably, the positioning plate has an arc-shaped structure, the positioning plate is closely attached to the side end of the cooling pipe, and the top end of the heat-conducting column is fixedly connected to the positioning plate.
[0006] Preferably, the elastic sheet has an arc-shaped structure, and the two sets of elastic sheets are located on both sides of the heat-conducting column.
[0007] Preferably, the protective plate has at least two insertion holes in the middle, the heat-conducting column is inserted into the insertion holes, and at least four snap-fit plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective plate.
[0008] Preferably, the front end of the snap-fit plate has a hook-shaped structure, the side end of the snap-fit plate is provided with a snap-fit groove, the upper and lower ends of the support column are fixedly connected to the heat sink housing, and the support column is located at the snap-fit groove.
[0009] Preferably, at least two auxiliary plates are fixedly connected to the side end of the heat-conducting column, and the heat-conducting column and auxiliary plates are chamfered at one end of the heat-conducting sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, both ends of the heat-conducting column and the auxiliary plate are penetrated by the heat-conducting ring, and the connection between the heat-conducting ring and the heat-conducting column and the auxiliary plate is provided with heat-conducting adhesive. A gap is provided between the top of the heat-conducting column and the inner wall of the heat-conducting sleeve.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: heat-conducting columns and protective plates are set on both sides of the cooling pipe. When a collision occurs, the protective plates block the impact force. When the protective plates also deform, the heat-conducting columns and the protective plates can slide against each other, thereby buffering the impact force and preventing the impact force from acting directly on the cooling pipe, thus protecting the cooling pipe and preventing deformation and leakage. Multiple buffer structures are set between the cooling pipe and the heat dissipation fins to prevent the cooling pipe from deforming after being impacted. Attached Figure Description

The middle section of the cooling pipe 5 is alternately vertical and curved. Both sides of the vertical section of the cooling pipe 5 are provided with features to prevent deformation. The positioning plate 6 has a protective plate 9 on its side for impact protection. Support columns 10 are provided on both sides of the protective plate 9. Two sets of elastic plates 8 are fixedly connected between the positioning plate 6 and the protective plate 9. Each set of elastic plates 8 has at least two elastic plates 8. A heat-conducting column 7 for heat conduction and impact buffering is inserted in the middle of the protective plate 9. A heat-conducting sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the protective plate 9. A heat-conducting plate 12 is fixedly connected between the heat-conducting sleeve 11 and the cooling plate 3. At least two heat-conducting rings 16 are fixedly connected inside the heat-conducting sleeve 11. The heat-conducting rings 16 are used to avoid affecting the movement of the heat-conducting column 7 when impacted. When the cooling pipe 5 is dissipating heat, the heat is conducted through the positioning plate 6, the heat-conducting column 7, the heat-conducting rings 16, and the heat-conducting sleeve 11 to the cooling plate 3 and the heat dissipation fins 4, thereby dissipating the heat.
[0020] The positioning plate 6 has an arc-shaped structure and is closely attached to the side of the cooling pipe 5. The top of the heat-conducting column 7 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 6. The positioning plate 6 can conduct heat from the cooling pipe 5 and also support and limit the cooling pipe 5 to prevent it from deforming.
[0021] The elastic sheet 8 has an arc-shaped structure. Two sets of elastic sheets 8 are located on both sides of the heat-conducting column 7. When a collision occurs, the elastic sheet 8 can support the protective plate 9 and buffer the impact force generated by the collision.
[0022] The protective plate 9 has at least two insertion holes 13 in the middle, and the heat-conducting column 7 is inserted into the insertion holes 13. At least four snap-fit plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective plate 9.

The upper and lower ends of the support column 10 are fixedly connected to the heat sink shell 1. The support column 10 is located at the snap-fit groove 15. The support column 10 can increase the structural strength of the protective plate 9 through the snap-fit plates 14. When an impact occurs, it can limit and support the protective plate 9, reduce the possibility of deformation of the protective plate 9, and thus protect the cooling pipe 5.
[0023] At least two auxiliary plates 17 are fixedly connected to the side end of the heat-conducting column 7. The heat-conducting column 7 and the auxiliary plates 17 are chamfered at one end of the heat-conducting sleeve 11.

Thermal adhesive is provided at the connection between the heat-conducting ring 16 and the heat-conducting column 7 and the auxiliary plates 17. There is a gap between the top of the heat-conducting column 7 and the inner wall of the heat-conducting sleeve 11. Heat can be conducted between the heat-conducting ring 16 and the heat-conducting column 7. At the same time, when an impact occurs, the heat-conducting column 7 can slide inside the heat-conducting ring. The auxiliary plates 17 increase the contact area, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect.
