Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive mechanical design, and in particular to a vehicle coolant reservoir that facilitates the removal of impurities. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive cooling system is a crucial system for maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature. Its core function is to dissipate excess heat generated during engine operation to the outside environment by circulating coolant or air, preventing damage to components or performance degradation due to overheating. The cleanliness of the coolant reservoir directly affects the cooling system's heat dissipation efficiency and lifespan.

[0003] The automotive coolant reservoir includes a container body, an inlet connector connected to the container body, an outlet connector connected to the container body, a filler connector located on the upper side of the container body for adding coolant, and a sealing cap for closing the filler connector. The container body has a reservoir chamber with multiple partitions dividing it into multiple chamber units. The bottom of each partition has a through-hole for coolant flow. The inlet connector in the automotive coolant reservoir typically uses a nozzle structure, and each chamber unit has a first chamber corresponding to the inlet connector, allowing coolant entering through the inlet connector to be sprayed in a mist into the first chamber. The container body also has a first through-hole for coolant flow at the bottom of the partition corresponding to the first chamber.

[0004] As the coolant flows through the car's cooling pipes, impurities such as iron filings can easily enter the first chamber through the inlet connector, causing them to accumulate and obstruct the normal flow of coolant through the first through-hole in the coolant reservoir. To clean these impurities, the coolant reservoir is typically removed from the car's cooling system, the old coolant drained into a container, and then cleaned using a high-pressure water gun. Alternatively, the coolant reservoir can be disassembled and cleaned.

[0005] In view of the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe there is a need to provide a vehicle coolant reservoir that facilitates the removal of impurities. Utility Model Content

[0006] To facilitate the cleaning of impurities from the inlet chamber of a vehicle coolant reservoir, this application provides a vehicle coolant reservoir that is easy to clean.

[0007] This application provides a vehicle coolant reservoir that facilitates the removal of impurities, employing the following technical solution: A vehicle coolant reservoir for easy cleaning includes a water tank body with an outlet and an inlet. The inlet has a nozzle structure. The water tank body has an inlet chamber corresponding to the inlet. The top of the inlet chamber has an installation port and a filter assembly is provided at the installation port. The filter assembly includes an installation cover corresponding to the installation port and a filter element installed at the bottom of the installation cover. The filter element has a filter chamber and a filter inlet communicating with the filter chamber and corresponding to the inlet.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the coolant is sprayed into the inlet chamber in an atomized form through the inlet connector with a nozzle structure, it enters the filter chamber through the filter inlet. During this process, the water vapor component in the atomized coolant is liquefied and flows out of the filter element, while solid impurity particles are intercepted by the filter element and concentrated in the filter chamber. The mounting cover is connected to the filter element. When the maintenance personnel open the mounting cover, the entire filter element can be completely removed from the mounting port, thereby realizing the rapid cleaning of accumulated impurities or the complete replacement of the filter element.

[0009] Optionally, the filter element includes a frame skeleton, a first filter screen disposed at the bottom of the frame skeleton, and a second filter screen disposed on the side wall of the frame skeleton, with the filter inlet disposed on the second filter screen.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the filter element is disclosed. The atomized coolant sprayed from the inlet connector enters the filter chamber of the filter element, and is output after being filtered by the first and second filter screens.

[0011] Optionally, the frame frame is provided with oppositely arranged mounting flaps at the top, and the bottom of the mounting cover plate is provided with a slide rail structure that cooperates with the two mounting flaps.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter element can be detachably installed on the bottom of the mounting cover through the cooperation of the installation flap and the sliding rail structure, which makes it convenient to install and remove the filter element from the mounting cover, thus facilitating the cleaning of the filter element.

[0013] Optionally, the frame frame is further provided with a guide plate extending through the filter inlet to the outside of the filter chamber, the guide plate being arranged inclined upwards in the direction close to the liquid inlet connector.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mist that is not introduced into the filter chamber from the liquid inlet joint flows into the filter chamber under the guidance of the guide plate after contacting the guide plate, which helps to filter this part of the coolant.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the frame is provided with a mounting base, the mounting base having a mounting hole with an opening at the top, and the filter element further includes a magnetic column with its bottom end inserted into the mounting hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic column can adsorb iron filings in the coolant, which helps to enhance the filtration effect and reduce the probability of iron filings clogging the first and second filters.

[0017] Optionally, the filter inlet is a rectangular opening; there are multiple mounting bases, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction parallel to the filter inlet; and each magnetic post corresponds to one of the mounting bases.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting multiple sets of magnetic columns and mounting bases, adsorption can be increased, thereby increasing the probability that iron filings will be adsorbed by the magnetic columns and further reducing the probability that iron filings will clog the first and second filters.

[0019] Optionally, the height of the top of the magnetic column is not lower than the height of the upper edge of the filter inlet.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the magnetic column is limited, which helps to ensure the probability of iron filings being attracted by the magnetic column.

[0021] Optionally, the water tank body has an installation groove at the installation port for arranging the installation cover plate, and the installation cover plate is installed on the water tank body by screws.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, an installation structure for mounting the cover plate on the water tank body is disclosed. The mounting cover plate is installed in the mounting groove of the water tank body by screws. The above installation structure has ideal installation strength and is easy to install and remove.

[0023] Optionally, the top of the mounting cover is provided with an operating handle.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can remove the installation cover from the water tank body by operating the handle, which facilitates the separation of the installation cover from the water tank body.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. A vehicle coolant reservoir that facilitates the cleaning of impurities, wherein the coolant enters the inlet chamber in the form of a spray through the inlet connector, and then enters the filter chamber through the filter inlet of the filter element. The water vapor liquefies and flows out of the filter chamber, while the impurities are mainly deposited in the filter chamber. By connecting the filter element to the mounting cover, the filter element can be easily removed from the mounting port for cleaning or replacement. 2. By setting multiple sets of magnetic columns and mounting bases and limiting the height of the magnetic columns, iron filings in the coolant can be adsorbed, which helps to enhance the filtration effect and reduce the probability of iron filings clogging the first and second filters. 3. The filter element can be detachably installed at the bottom of the mounting cover through the cooperation of the installation flap and sliding rail structure, which makes it convenient to install and remove the filter element from the mounting cover, thus facilitating the cleaning of the filter element.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0033] This application discloses an automotive coolant reservoir that facilitates the removal of impurities. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The vehicle coolant reservoir, designed for easy cleaning of impurities, includes a water tank body 1. The water tank body 1 has two mutually isolated coolant storage chambers 11, meaning the coolant in the two chambers 11 will not flow between them. In this embodiment, a partition structure is provided between the two storage chambers 11. The partition structure is a hollow partition plate 2, and the bottom of the partition plate 2 has a through hole communicating with its inner cavity.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water tank body 1 is equipped with an outlet connector 3 and an inlet connector 4. Each storage chamber 11 corresponds to a set of outlet connectors 3 and inlet connectors 4. The water tank body 1 also has baffles that separate the storage chambers 11, dividing them into multiple independent chamber units. The chamber unit connected to the inlet connector 4 is the inlet chamber 111, and the chamber unit connected to the outlet connector 3 is the outlet chamber 112. The baffle that separates the inlet chamber 111 is the first baffle 51, and the remaining baffles are second baffles 52.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second wave deflector 52 has a first through hole 521 at its bottom, connecting to an adjacent chamber unit and allowing coolant to flow through. The second wave deflector 52 also has a second through hole 522 at its top, connecting to an adjacent chamber unit and allowing gas to flow through. The first wave deflector 51 has a flow hole 511 at its bottom for coolant flow. In this embodiment, the first through hole 521 is an oblong hole, the second through hole 522 is a round hole, and the flow hole 511 is a round hole, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow hole 511 being smaller than that of the first through hole 521.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 The liquid inlet connector 4 is connected to the upper part of the water tank body 1 and is integrally formed with the water tank body 1. The liquid inlet connector 4 has a nozzle structure, which is a spray through hole 41 communicating with the liquid inlet chamber 111. The spray through hole 41 includes a first hole portion 411 disposed in the liquid inlet connector 4, a first conical hole portion 412 connected to the first hole portion 411, and a second hole portion 413 connected to the first conical hole portion 412. The diameter of the first conical hole portion 412 gradually decreases along the direction from the first hole portion 411 to the second hole portion 413. The diameter of the first hole portion 411 is not less than the maximum diameter of the first conical hole portion 412, and the diameter of the second hole portion 413 is the same as the minimum diameter of the first conical hole portion 412.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The water tank body 1 has an installation port 6 at the top of the liquid inlet chamber 111. The installation port 6 is generally square. A filter assembly is provided at the installation port 6 in the water tank body 1. The filter assembly includes an installation cover plate 7 corresponding to the installation port 6 and a filter element 8 installed at the bottom of the installation cover plate 7. The installation cover plate 7 is a square cover plate. To facilitate the installation of the installation cover plate 7, the water tank body 1 has an installation groove 12 at the installation port 6 for arranging the installation cover plate 7. Threaded holes are provided at the four corners of the installation groove 12, and screws that mate with the threaded holes are installed at the four corners of the installation cover plate 7, so that the installation cover plate 7 is locked in the installation groove 12 by the four screws. In this embodiment, the thickness of the installation cover plate 7 is consistent with the depth of the installation groove 12.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The filter element 8 includes a square frame 81, a first filter screen 82 disposed at the bottom of the square frame 81, and a second filter screen 83 disposed on the side wall of the square frame 81, thereby forming a filter chamber 85. In this embodiment, both the first filter screen 82 and the second filter screen 83 are made of copper, and both are fixed to the square frame with glue. The filter element 8 has a filter inlet 831 at the second filter screen 83, which communicates with the filter chamber 85 and corresponds to the liquid inlet connector 4. The filter inlet 831 is a square opening.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The frame 81 is also provided with a guide plate 812 extending from the filter inlet 831 to the outside of the filter chamber 85. The guide plate 812 is arranged obliquely upward along the direction close to the liquid inlet 4. By setting the guide plate 812, the mist sprayed from the liquid inlet 4 can be collected on the guide plate 812 after contacting it, and flow into the filter chamber 85 under the guidance of the guide plate 812, which helps to filter this part of the coolant.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The frame 81 has mounting flaps 811 arranged opposite each other on both sides of its short top side. The bottom of the mounting cover 7 has a slide rail structure that mates with the two mounting flaps 811. The slide rail structure includes guide rails 71 fixed to the bottom of the mounting cover 7 and arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the mounting flaps 811. The two guide rails 71 have grooves 711 on their opposite sides at the top for sliding arrangement of the corresponding mounting flaps 811, so that the two guide rails 71 combined form a T-shaped groove structure for top sliding installation of the filter element 8.

[0041] Reference Figure 4The bottom of the frame 81 is also provided with a mounting base 813, which has a mounting hole 8131 with an opening at the top. The filter element 8 also includes a magnetic post 84 whose bottom end is inserted into the mounting hole 8131. When the magnetic post 84 is installed in the mounting hole 8131 of the mounting base 813, the height of the top of the magnetic post 84 is not lower than the height of the upper edge of the filter inlet 831. In order to improve the adsorption effect of the filter element 8 on iron filings in the coolant, there are multiple mounting bases 813, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction parallel to the filter inlet 831. The number of magnetic posts 84 is the same as the number of mounting bases 813, and they are installed in the mounting holes 8131 of the corresponding mounting bases 813.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 To facilitate the installation and removal of the filter components on the main body 1 of the water tank, an operating handle 9 is provided on the top of the mounting cover 7.

[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 5 The working principle of the vehicle coolant reservoir for easy cleaning of impurities in this embodiment is as follows: When the vehicle cooling system is working, the coolant enters the inlet chamber 111 in a mist form through the inlet connector 4. Part of the mist coolant enters the filter chamber 85 of the filter element 8 through the filter inlet 831. Iron filings in this part of the mist coolant are attracted by the magnetic column 84, and the remaining impurities are filtered by the first filter screen 82 or the second filter screen 83 of the filter element 8. Another part of the mist coolant adheres to and accumulates on the guide plate 812, and flows into the filter chamber 85 of the filter element 8 under the guidance of the guide plate 812, so that this part of the coolant can also be filtered. The coolant filtered by the filter assembly flows into the next chamber unit through the flow hole 511 until it enters the outlet chamber 112, and flows out of the water tank body 1 through the outlet connector 3.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
