[0002] Passenger car radiators are usually located in the front engine compartment. During vehicle operation, the radiator is subjected to vibrations from engine shaking and road bumps. The function of the radiator mounting device is to reduce the transmission of various vibrations to the radiator through the mounting bracket, to act as a vibration damper, to optimize the stress condition of the radiator, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the radiator, improving the stability of the radiator, preventing fatigue failure of the radiator structure, extending the service life of the car radiator, and optimizing the overall NVH performance of the vehicle.

[0003] Existing radiator installation methods typically involve installing mounting posts at the top and bottom of the water chambers on both sides of the radiator. Each mounting post has a cylindrical rubber pad fitted onto it, which is then inserted into mounting holes in the upper and lower crossbeams at the front of the vehicle body to control the radiator's displacement in various directions. Over long-term use, the rubber pads on the mounting posts deform, increasing the probability of radiator damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new type of radiator suspension assembly. By setting suspension pads and anti-detachment edges, the connection stability between the suspension pads and the upper and lower crossbeams can be increased. The flange can provide buffer space for the radiator and reduce the vibration amplitude of the radiator.

[0005] The novel radiator mounting assembly includes an upper crossbeam and a lower crossbeam, with a radiator positioned between the upper and lower crossbeams. The upper crossbeam includes an outer fixing frame, inside which an inner fixing frame is fixedly installed. The inner fixing frame has fixing holes at both ends, and support frames are fixedly installed at both ends inside the inner fixing frame. Fixed columns are provided at both ends of the top and bottom of the radiator, with screw holes inside the fixed columns and suspension pads on the fixed columns. The support frames and the lower crossbeam are both connected to the suspension pads.

[0006] Preferably, a support block is fixedly provided on one side of the support frame, and the support block is fixedly connected to the inner fixed frame.

A reinforcing rib is fixedly provided in the middle of the support frame, and an installation clip hole is fixedly provided on one side of the reinforcing rib.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the lower crossbeam extends outward with a folded edge, and multiple sets of protrusions are fixedly provided on the folded edge. Multiple sets of fixing holes are also provided on the folded edge. The fixing holes are fixedly connected to the vehicle body by bolts. Mounting clip holes are fixedly opened on both sides of the top of the lower crossbeam, and multiple sets of openings are fixedly opened on the top of the lower crossbeam.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the suspension pad is fixedly provided with a flange, the center of the suspension pad is fixedly provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the fixed column, the bottom of the suspension pad is fixedly provided with an anti-detachment clip, and the lower end of the suspension pad is fixedly provided with a steel sleeve.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a novel radiator mounting assembly includes an upper crossbeam 1 and a lower crossbeam 3. Both the upper crossbeam 1 and the lower crossbeam 3 are fixedly connected to the vehicle body and support and fix the radiator 2. The radiator 2 is disposed between the upper crossbeam 1 and the lower crossbeam 3. The upper crossbeam 1 includes an outer fixing frame 101. An inner fixing frame 102 is fixedly installed inside the outer fixing frame 101. Fixing holes 102A are fixedly opened at both ends of the inner fixing frame 102. Support frames 103 are fixedly installed at both ends inside the inner fixing frame 102. By setting the support frames 103, the upper part of the radiator 2 is fixedly limited, and the structural strength of the upper crossbeam 1 is improved, thereby improving the stability of the support for the radiator 2.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the radiator 2 has fixed columns 201 at both the top and bottom ends. The fixed columns 201 have screw holes inside. After the suspension pad 4 is fitted onto the fixed column 201, the outer side of the suspension pad 4 is then inserted into the mounting holes 103C and 302, and bolts are screwed into the screw holes to complete the installation of the radiator 2 on the upper crossbeam 1 and lower crossbeam 3. The fixed columns 201 have suspension pads 4. By setting the suspension pads 4, the anti-detachment clips 402 can increase the connection between the suspension pads 4 and the upper crossbeam 1 and lower crossbeam 3. The connection stability between the crossbeams 3 and the flange 401 provide buffer space for the radiator 2, reducing the vibration amplitude of the radiator 2 and optimizing the overall NVH level of the vehicle. By setting a steel sleeve 404 inside the suspension pad 4, the structural strength of the suspension pad 4 is increased. When subjected to greater vibration, the force can be distributed and buffered by the entire suspension pad 4, avoiding damage caused by localized stress and increasing the service life of the suspension pad 4. The support frame 103 and the lower crossbeam 3 are both connected to the suspension pad 4. Through the buffering and shock absorption of the suspension pad 4, the working stability of the radiator 2 assembly is greatly increased.

[0029] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a support block 103B is fixedly provided on one side of the support frame 103. The support block 103B is fixedly connected to the inner fixed frame 102. A flap 103A extends outward from the other side of the support frame 103. An opening is fixedly provided on the flap 103A. By setting the flap 103A, the contact area between the support plate and the inner fixed frame 102 is increased. The opening is connected to the fixing hole 102A with bolts to fix the support frame 103. The setting of the reinforcing rib 103D can increase the structural strength of the support frame 103 itself and improve the support strength for the radiator 2. A reinforcing rib 103D is fixedly provided in the middle of the support frame 103. A mounting hole 103C is fixedly provided on one side of the reinforcing rib 103D.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the lower crossbeam 3 extends outward with a folded edge 301. By adding the folded edge 301, the contact area between the lower crossbeam 3 and the vehicle body is increased. By setting the protrusion 301A, the structural strength of the folded edge 301 is increased, the connection strength between the lower crossbeam 3 and the vehicle body is improved, and the installation stability of the radiator 2 is increased. Multiple sets of protrusions 301A are fixedly provided on the folded edge 301, and multiple sets of fixing holes 301B are also provided on the folded edge 301. The fixing holes 301B are fixedly connected to the vehicle body by bolts. Mounting clip holes 302 are fixedly opened on both sides of the top of the lower crossbeam 3, and multiple sets of openings 303 are also fixedly opened on the top of the lower crossbeam 3. By setting the openings 303 on the lower crossbeam 3, the weight of the lower crossbeam 3 is reduced, and the internal stress generated during the manufacturing of the lower crossbeam 3 is released.

[0031] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, a flange 401 is fixedly provided on the top of the suspension pad 4, a limiting hole 403 is fixedly provided in the center of the suspension pad 4, the limiting hole 403 cooperates with the fixed column 201, an anti-detachment clip 402 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the suspension pad 4, and a steel sleeve 404 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the inside of the suspension pad 4.

[0032] The steel sleeve 404 and the suspension pad 4 are connected by a vulcanization process.

[0033] Installation process:

[0034] Insert the suspension pad 4 into the fixing column 201 with the flange 401 facing the radiator 2. Then insert the anti-detachment clip 402 at the bottom of the suspension pad 4 into the mounting clip hole 103C and the mounting clip hole 302. Finally, screw the bolt into the screw hole of the fixing column 201 to complete the installation of the radiator 2 on the upper crossbeam 1 and the lower crossbeam 3. When the vehicle body vibrates, the suspension pad 4 itself and the flange 401 can buffer the force of the vibration and reduce the damage to the radiator 2.

[0035] This invention uses a support frame 103 to fix and limit the upper part of the radiator 2, and improves the structural strength of the upper crossbeam 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the radiator 2 support. The suspension pad 4 and anti-detachment edge 402 increase the connection stability between the suspension pad 4 and the upper and lower crossbeams 1 and 3. The flange 401 provides buffer space for the radiator 2, reducing the vibration amplitude and optimizing the overall vehicle NVH level. The steel sleeve 404 inside the suspension pad 4 increases its structural strength. When subjected to greater vibration, the force can be dispersed and buffered by the entire suspension pad 4, preventing damage caused by localized stress and increasing its service life.
