Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine cooling, and in particular to an engine radiator mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Integrating the engine radiator with the engine for transport helps reduce packaging volume and lower transportation costs. To secure the radiator to the engine, a mounting bracket is required. Typical mounting brackets are triangular, with the support plate usually close to the inside for better installation and load-bearing capacity. However, because the radiator cover is larger than the engine, it interferes with the reinforcing plate of traditional mounting brackets. This prevents the engine radiator mounting bracket from having the support plate designed on the inside, as is common with other mounting brackets. Current engine radiator brackets typically place the support plate below the bracket, which uses more material and increases the overall height of the engine.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0019] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.

[0020] An engine radiator mounting bracket, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the system includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2 mirror-image of the first bracket 1. The first bracket 1 includes a first base frame 11, a first rear support plate 12, and a first support plate 13. The first rear support plate 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the first base frame 11 and is perpendicular to the first base frame 11. One end of the first support plate 13 is connected to the first rear support plate 12, and the other end is connected to the first base frame 11. The first support plate 13 is perpendicular to both the first rear support plate 12 and the first base frame 11. A first pad 14 is connected to the first support plate 13 and is perpendicular to the first support plate 13.

[0021] Specifically, the first support 1 and the second support 2 are mirror images of each other. For example, the second support 2 also has a second base frame, a second rear support plate, and a second support plate with the same shape as the first support 1. The difference is that the first support plate 13 of the first support 1 is located on the right side of the first base frame 11, while the second support plate of the second support 2 is located on the left side of the second base frame.

[0022] As an optional implementation, the first rear support plate 12 is provided with a first through hole 121, which is used to fix the first rear support plate 12 to the front support leg of the engine.

[0023] Specifically, there are at least two first through holes 121, which, in conjunction with bolts and through holes on the engine front support leg 3, enable the fixing between the first rear support plate 12 and the engine front support leg 3.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the first base frame 11 includes a first horizontal plate 111 and a first vertical plate 112, one long side of the first horizontal plate 111 is perpendicular to one long side of the first vertical plate 112, and the other long side of the first horizontal plate 111 is connected to the first support plate 13.

[0025] Specifically, the first horizontal plate 111 and the first vertical plate 112 can be a single bent steel plate, or two separate steel plates connected by welding. The first horizontal plate 111 and the first vertical plate 112 are rectangular steel plates, and their long sides are equal in length. The short sides of the first vertical plate 112 and the first horizontal plate 111 can also be provided with a first protective plate to close off the short sides and prevent scratches from sharp corners.

[0026] As an optional implementation, the first base frame 11 further includes a plurality of first reinforcing plates 113, which are disposed at the bottom of the first base frame 11. One side of the first reinforcing plate 113 is connected to the first horizontal plate 111, and the other side is connected to the first vertical plate 112. The first reinforcing plate 113 is used to increase the connection strength of the first base frame 11 and prevent the first base frame 11 from deforming.

[0027] Specifically, the first reinforcing plate 113 is a right-angled triangular structure, and the lengths of the two right-angled sides of the triangle match the lengths of the short sides of the first horizontal plate 111 and the first vertical plate 112.

[0028] As an optional implementation, the first pad 14 is provided with an angle 141.

[0029] Specifically, the position of the oblique angle 141 is directly opposite the connection between the first rear support plate 12 and the first support plate 13, in order to avoid the weld at the connection.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the plurality of first reinforcing plates 113 are arranged at equal intervals on the first base frame 11.

[0031] Specifically, the reinforcement plates are arranged at equal intervals, which enables the first base frame 11 to be subjected to uniform force.

[0032] As an optional implementation, the connection between the first horizontal plate 111 and the first vertical plate 112 has a chamfer.

[0033] Specifically, the connection between the first horizontal plate 111 and the first vertical plate 112 is chamfered to prevent the right angle from colliding with other structures.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model provides an engine radiator mounting bracket. The support plate is designed on the outside of the base frame, avoiding the radiator cover and preventing interference with the radiator. A reinforcing plate is arranged below the base frame, and the force is transferred from the base frame to the reinforcing plate, preventing deformation of the base plate. One end of the first pad 14 is provided with an angled 141 to avoid the weld seam. Without increasing the overall height of the engine, by designing the support plate on the outside and reasonably adding a reinforcing plate, the bracket can maintain its strength while avoiding the radiator cover, thus achieving the purpose of fixing the radiator to the engine.

These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
