Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive air conditioning system component manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to a light truck air conditioning condenser assembly. Background Technology

[0002] An automotive air conditioning system generally consists of heating, cooling, purification, and control systems. The cooling system comprises a refrigerant (evaporator), condenser, receiver-drier, compressor, and high- and low-pressure refrigerant circulation piping connected in a closed loop.

[0003] In an automotive air conditioning system, the condenser and refrigerant are the heat exchange components that perform the cooling function. The condenser's function is to take the high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the system (i.e., from the refrigerant) and convert it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant via the compressor. This gaseous refrigerant is then transported to the condenser and converted into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant. This liquid refrigerant is then transported to the refrigerant and, through the expansion valve, rapidly expands and vaporizes, transforming into a high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. During the vaporization and liquefaction process, the refrigerant absorbs and releases heat from the air passing through the refrigerant and condenser, thereby lowering the air temperature inside the car body and regulating the car's temperature.

[0004] For refrigeration units and condensers to fully perform, they require a good airflow environment. Generally, automotive air conditioning condensers are designed and positioned in front of the intercooler in front of the engine to ensure smooth airflow through the condenser. However, there are exceptions. Due to space limitations in the design of the car body and the layout of automotive components, it is not possible to design and position them in front of the intercooler in front of the engine. They must be placed in other locations. The light truck involved in this utility model is such a case, which results in limitations in the design and layout of the air conditioning condenser. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a light truck air conditioning condenser assembly with an integrated structural design that combines the condenser core, liquid receiver-drier filter, condenser fan, and mounting bracket together. This design not only offers flexible layout and ease of installation in any suitable location on the relevant vehicle model, thus expanding its application range, but also solves the limitations of the design layout of air conditioning condensers in the prior art.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a light truck air conditioning condenser assembly includes a condenser core assembly and an air collector shroud. A condenser fan motor is fixedly installed in the center hole inside the air collector shroud using hexagonal bolts. A condenser fan blade is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the condenser fan motor. The air collector shroud is fixedly installed to the condenser core assembly using hexagonal bolts. A condenser right support assembly and a condenser left support assembly are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the condenser core assembly using hexagonal bolts. A condenser rear support assembly is fixedly installed between the condenser right support assembly and the condenser left support assembly using hexagonal bolts. A first lug, a second lug, and a third lug are fixed to the condenser right support assembly and the condenser left support assembly using hexagonal bolts. A refrigerant receiver-drier filter is fixedly installed at the first lug using hexagonal bolts.

[0007] This design integrates the condenser core, refrigerant receiver-drier filter, condenser fan, and mounting bracket into a single structure, breaking away from the traditional dispersed design and installation of individual condenser components. This integrated approach reduces the connecting pipes and installation space between components, making the entire structure more compact. It not only reduces installation complexity and potential failure points but also improves the overall system integrity and reliability. In terms of spatial layout, the flexible arrangement can adapt to the diverse needs of different vehicle models and equipment. Compared to traditional condensers that can only be installed in specific locations, this greatly expands the application range.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a mudguard is fixedly installed between the second and third lugs by hexagonal bolts.

[0009] This design facilitates the installation of mudguards, effectively blocking mud, water, and other debris kicked up by the vehicle's wheels during driving, preventing them from splashing onto the condenser assembly, reducing the risk of damage to components due to mud and water erosion, extending the service life of the condenser assembly, and also helping to keep the condenser surface clean, maintaining good heat dissipation and condensation effects.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the other two sides of the condenser core assembly are bonded and fixed with a first sealing sponge and a second sealing sponge.

[0011] This design enhances the sealing of the condenser assembly, reduces air leakage, and allows air to pass more concentratedly through the condenser core for heat exchange, improving condensation efficiency. At the same time, the sealing sponge also provides cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the impact of vehicle vibrations on the condenser core, protecting the internal structure, and enhancing the reliability and stability of the condenser assembly.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the condenser core assembly adopts a parallel flow structure design, and the material of the condenser core assembly is aluminum alloy.

[0013] This design allows for a more rational internal flow path, more uniform refrigerant distribution, and an increased heat exchange area, significantly improving heat exchange efficiency and thus enhancing the condenser's condensing capacity. The condenser core assembly is made of aluminum alloy, which utilizes the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy to quickly transfer heat and further enhance the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the lightweight nature of aluminum alloy reduces the overall weight of the condenser assembly, lowers the vehicle load, and contributes to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It adopts an integrated structural design, combining the condenser core, liquid receiver-dryer filter, condenser fan, and mounting bracket together. This design not only allows for flexible arrangement and easy installation in any suitable location on the relevant vehicle models, but also makes it applicable to the air conditioning and refrigeration systems of other special-purpose vehicles and equipment, showing promising prospects for widespread application. The product design is compact and simple. The condenser core (heat exchange element) and liquid receiver-dryer filter are made of high-quality aluminum alloy profiles and strips, while the bracket is made of steel, resulting in high overall strength, durability, and reliability. The condenser core adopts a parallel flow structure design and uses aluminum alloy material with excellent thermal conductivity, and is equipped with a high-power condenser fan. Therefore, its condensation capacity is more advantageous than other similar products. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a light truck air conditioning condenser assembly provided by this utility model includes a condenser core assembly 2 and an air collector shroud 6. A condenser fan motor 8 is fixedly installed at the center hole inside the air collector shroud 6 by hexagonal bolts. A condenser fan blade 10 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the condenser fan motor 8. The air collector shroud 6 is fixedly installed to the condenser core assembly 2 by hexagonal bolts. A condenser right bracket assembly 4 and a condenser left bracket assembly 9 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the condenser core assembly 2 by hexagonal bolts. A condenser rear bracket assembly 7 is fixedly installed between the condenser right bracket assembly 4 and the condenser left bracket assembly 9 by hexagonal bolts. A first lug 11, a second lug 12, and a third lug 13 are fixed to the condenser right bracket assembly 4 and the condenser left bracket assembly 9 by hexagonal bolts. A refrigerant receiver-drier filter 14 is fixedly installed at the first lug 11 by hexagonal bolts.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, the condenser core, refrigerant receiver-drier filter 14, condenser fan, and mounting bracket are integrated into a single structure, breaking through the traditional model of dispersed design and installation of condenser components. This integrated approach reduces the connecting pipes and installation space between components, making the entire system more compact. It not only reduces installation complexity and potential failure points but also improves the overall integrity and reliability of the system. In terms of spatial layout, the flexible arrangement can adapt to the diverse needs of different vehicle models and equipment. Compared with traditional condensers that can only be installed in specific locations, it greatly expands the application range.

[0024] Specifically, a mudguard 3 is fixedly installed between the second lug 12 and the third lug 13 by hexagonal bolts.

[0025] The above solution facilitates the installation of mudguard 3, effectively blocking mud and water and other debris kicked up by the vehicle wheels during driving, preventing them from splashing onto the condenser assembly, reducing the risk of damage to components due to mud and water erosion, extending the service life of the condenser assembly, and also helping to keep the condenser surface clean and maintain good heat dissipation and condensation effects.

[0026] Specifically, the other two sides of the condenser core assembly 2 are bonded and fixed with a first sealing sponge 1 and a second sealing sponge 5.

[0027] The above solution enhances the sealing of the condenser assembly, reduces air leakage, and allows air to pass more concentratedly through the condenser core for heat exchange, thereby improving condensation efficiency. At the same time, the sealing sponge also provides some cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the impact of vehicle vibration on the condenser core, protecting the internal structure, and improving the reliability and stability of the condenser assembly.

[0028] Specifically, the condenser core assembly 2 adopts a parallel flow structure design, and the material of the condenser core assembly 2 is aluminum alloy.

[0029] The above scheme makes the internal flow channel more reasonable, the refrigerant distribution more uniform, increases the heat exchange area, significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency, and thus improves the condenser's condensing capacity. The condenser core assembly 2 is made of aluminum alloy material, which takes advantage of the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy to quickly transfer heat and further enhance the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the aluminum alloy material is lightweight, which can reduce the overall weight of the condenser assembly, reduce the vehicle load, and help save energy and reduce emissions.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] In use, the assembly is placed in a suitable position between the front right wheel of the light truck frame and the front and rear wheels of the vehicle body.

The above assembly is assembled and fixed to the condenser core assembly 2. The condenser right bracket assembly 4 and the condenser left bracket assembly 9 are respectively assembled and fixed to both sides of the condenser core assembly 2 of the above assembly. The condenser rear bracket assembly 7 is assembled and fixed to the above assembly. The first lug 11, the second lug 12, and the third lug 13 are respectively assembled and fixed to the corresponding positions on both sides of the above assembly. The first sealing sponge 1 and the second sealing sponge 5 are respectively pasted to the other two sides of the condenser core assembly 2 of the above assembly. The mudguard 3 is assembled and fixed to the second lug 12 and the third lug 13.

[0032] This device adopts an integrated structural design, combining the condenser core, liquid receiver dryer filter, condenser fan, and mounting bracket into one unit. This design not only allows for flexible placement and easy installation in any suitable location on the applicable vehicle models, but also makes it suitable for the air conditioning and refrigeration systems of other special-purpose vehicles and equipment, demonstrating promising prospects for widespread application. The product design is compact and simple. The condenser core heat exchange elements and liquid receiver dryer filter are made of high-quality aluminum alloy profiles and strips, while the bracket is made of steel, resulting in high overall strength, durability, and reliability. The condenser core adopts a parallel flow structure design and uses aluminum alloy material with excellent thermal conductivity, and is equipped with a high-power condenser fan. Therefore, its condensation capacity is more advantageous compared to other similar products.
