Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive body front-end manufacturing and assembly technology, specifically, it relates to a heat dissipation module with replaceable mounting pillars. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main types of structures used in the industry to install cooling modules onto front-end modules. One type involves making a bracket and connecting it to the heat sink, and then using bolts to install the bracket and heat sink assembly onto the sheet metal front-end module.

[0003] Another method uses a snap-fit ​​mechanism. During installation, the radiator body is first assembled into the mounting position, and then the snap-fit ​​is pressed down from top to bottom to install the radiator body onto the front-end module. For example, application number 201320588704.6 (publication number: CN203511275U) discloses a cooling module mounting structure on a front-end module, including a front-end module and a cooling module. The cooling module has an upper support column at its upper end and a lower support column at its lower end. The front-end module has a U-shaped slot at its upper end that matches the upper support column and a mounting hole at its lower end that matches the lower support column. It also includes a fixing structure for fixing the upper support column into the U-shaped slot.

[0004] In the overall vehicle layout, the automotive front-end cooling module is installed on the vehicle frame via upper and lower mounting pillars. The conventional pillars and plastic water chambers are integrally injection molded. When a low-speed collision occurs during vehicle operation, the entire cooling module will be damaged. However, because there is no fixed weak point, various parts of the entire module will be damaged randomly, leading to difficult and costly repairs. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat dissipation module with replaceable mounting posts.

[0006] According to the present invention, a heat dissipation module with replaceable mounting columns includes a water chamber, a mounting base and mounting columns. Mounting bases are provided on the top of the columns on both the left and right sides of the water chamber. The mounting base and the water chamber are integrally injection molded. The mounting columns are inserted and fixed in the mounting base. The mounting base has square holes on its beveled surface.

[0007] The mounting post consists of a root post, a spring clip, a connecting seat, a reinforcing rib, and a top post. The root post is fixed at the bottom center of the connecting seat. A spring clip is provided at the lower part of the beveled surface of the root post, and a square hole is provided corresponding to the spring clip. The top post is fixed at the top center of the connecting seat. The top post is a cylinder, and recesses are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the top post.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment: the body of the mounting base is a beveled cylinder.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment: the root post is a beveled cylinder, and the root post is correspondingly provided with the mounting base.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment: the root column is fitted with the mounting base, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the root column and the inner bottom surface of the mounting base after assembly.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment: a triangular reinforcing rib is provided on the front side of the root column.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment: the top of the beveled plane of the mounting base is provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the reinforcing rib.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] When this utility model is in use, it breaks through the weak point formed by the notch at the root of the top post during a vehicle collision, thereby protecting other parts of the heat dissipation module, preventing the entire heat dissipation module from being damaged, reducing maintenance costs, and after an accident, at the repair point, a tool can be used to push the spring clip upward at an angle to remove the root post from the mounting base, and a new mounting post can be inserted for installation, completing a quick replacement, reducing maintenance difficulty, and saving maintenance costs and time.

[0022] Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a heat dissipation module with replaceable mounting columns, including a water chamber 1, a mounting base 2 and a mounting column 3. The mounting base 2 is provided on the top of the columns on the left and right sides of the water chamber 1. The mounting base 2 and the water chamber 1 are integrally injection molded, and the mounting column 3 is inserted and fixed in the mounting base 2.

[0025] The main body of the mounting base 2 is a beveled cylinder, which ensures that the rotation of the mounting post 3 is effectively controlled when it is inserted. A square hole 4 is opened on the beveled surface of the mounting base 2, and the square hole 4 is set in correspondence with the spring clip 302. At the same time, a clearance groove corresponding to the reinforcing rib 304 is opened on the top of the beveled surface of the mounting base 2.

[0026] The mounting post 3 consists of a root post 301, a spring clip 302, a connecting seat 303, a reinforcing rib 304, and a top post 305. The root post 301 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the connecting seat 303. The root post 301 is a chamfered cylinder. The root post 301 is installed in conjunction with the mounting seat 2, and the gap between the bottom of the root post 301 and the inner bottom surface of the mounting seat 2 is controlled to prevent interference at the bottom, which could cause the spring clip 302 to fail to slide into the square hole 4, resulting in installation failure between the root post 301 and the mounting seat 2. The spring clip 302 is located on the lower part of the chamfered surface of the root post 301. During the installation process of the root post 301 from top to bottom... The spring clip 302 is compressed until it slides to the square hole 4 of the mounting base 2, at which point the spring clip 302 pops out, ensuring that the root post 301 and the mounting base 2 are locked together. A triangular reinforcing rib 304 is provided on the front side of the root post 301 to strengthen the connection between the root post 301 and the connecting base 303. The top post 305 is fixedly installed at the top center of the connecting base 303. The top post 305 is a cylinder, and notches are opened on the left and right sides of the bottom of the top post 305 so that when an abnormal collision occurs during the driving process, the top post 305 will break first at the root, thereby protecting other core parts.

[0027] Working principle

[0028] When this utility model is used, the root post 301 is pressed into the cylindrical seat of the mounting base 2, and the spring clip 302 is compressed until the spring clip 302 slides to the square hole 4 of the mounting base 2. Then the spring clip 302 pops out, ensuring that the root post 301 and the mounting base 2 are locked together and the mounting post 3 and the mounting base 2 are inserted and fixed. In subsequent implementations, a screw structure can be used to directly act between the mounting post 3 and the mounting base 2, replacing the spring clip 302 and the square hole 4.

[0029] When a vehicle is involved in a low-speed collision, the primary point of fracture is the fixed weak point formed by the notch at the base of the top pillar 305, thereby protecting other parts of the heat dissipation module, preventing the entire heat dissipation module from being damaged, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0030] In the event of an accident, at the repair point, a tool can be used to push the spring clip 302 upwards at an angle to remove the root post 301 from the mounting base 2, and then insert the new mounting post 3 for installation, thus completing a quick replacement, reducing repair difficulty, and saving repair costs and time.
