A mounting bracket is welded onto the rigid pipe, and this mounting bracket is installed on the powertrain.

[0003] Most existing radiator outlet pipes use a single-arm outlet pipe, which consists of two parts: a rigid steel pipe and a flexible rubber pipe. One end connects to the engine, and the other end connects to the radiator assembly. A mounting bracket is welded onto the rigid pipe, which is installed on the powertrain compressor. The bracket has a wall thickness of 2mm, and the straight lengths at both ends of the rigid pipe are 129.52mm and 190.36mm, respectively. However, during vehicle durability road tests, the bent part of the mounting bracket is prone to breakage. Therefore, this application proposes an outlet pipe unit with a double-arm bracket. Utility Model Content

[0007] A double-arm support assembly consists of an integrally manufactured connecting plate, a first arm, and a second arm connected together. The first arm and the second arm are respectively located at both ends of the connecting plate. The ends of the first arm and the second arm are respectively welded to both ends of a bend. The thickness of the connecting plate, the first arm, and the second arm is set to 4mm.

The thickness of the double-arm support assembly has been increased from 2mm to 4mm, but the total weight of the rigid steel pipe assembly and the double-arm support assembly has been reduced to 322g. This optimized structural form effectively improves structural stiffness and durability. The optimized design concept is to improve the stiffness of the installation point by designing a double-arm support assembly and increasing the thickness of the support, shortening the length of the rigid steel pipe assembly, and reducing the cantilever length of the first and second connectors. This increases the stiffness of the installation point while reducing the overall mass of the assembly. The lightweight structure effectively improves system stiffness, thereby increasing structural durability and lifespan. Attached Figure Description

The thickness of the connecting plate 21, the first arm 22, and the second arm 23 is set to 4mm.

[0028] Flexible hose assembly 3, which is connected to the ends of the first connector 12 and the second connector 13.

[0029] The rigid steel pipe assembly 1 consists of an integrally manufactured bend 11 and a first joint 12 and a second joint 13. The overall form of the double-arm support assembly 2 is similar to that of the single-arm assembly, but the double-arm support assembly 2 extends beyond the first arm 22 and the second arm 23. The straight-line lengths of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 at both ends of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1 have been shortened to 61.77 mm and 92.77 mm, respectively. The thickness of the double-arm support assembly 2 has been increased from 2 mm to 4 mm. However, the total weight of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1 and the double-arm support assembly 2 has been reduced to 322 g. This optimized structural form effectively improves the structural stiffness and durability. The optimized design concept is to improve the stiffness of the mounting point by designing the double-arm support assembly 2 and increasing the thickness of the support, shortening the length of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1, and reducing the cantilever length of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13. The increased stiffness of the mounting point reduces the mass of the assembly. The lightweight structure can effectively improve the system stiffness, thereby improving the structural durability.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the bend 11 is set to 24.6 mm, and the outer diameter is set to 57.56 mm.

[0031] Furthermore, the width of both the first arm 22 and the second arm 23 is set to 29.99 mm.

[0032] Furthermore, the straight-line distance between the outer edge vertical plane of the first support arm 22 and the first connector 12 is 5.87mm.

[0033] Furthermore, the straight-line distance between the outer edge vertical plane of the second arm 23 and the second connector 13 is 2.59 mm.

[0037] Furthermore, the two ends of the second hose 32 are connected to the end of the second connector 13 and the radiator end respectively via clamps 33.

[0038] The first hose 31 is connected to the end of the first connector 12 and the engine end respectively through the clamp 33, so as to realize the transmission of coolant from the engine to the radiator.

[0039] The second hose 32 is connected to the end of the second connector 13 and the radiator end respectively via clamp 33 to complete the return flow of coolant.

[0040] The rigid steel pipe assembly 1 consists of an integrally manufactured bend 11 and a first joint 12 and a second joint 13. The overall form of the double-arm support assembly 2 is similar to that of the single-arm assembly, but the double-arm support assembly 2 extends beyond the first arm 22 and the second arm 23. The straight-line lengths of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 at both ends of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1 have been shortened to 61.77 mm and 92.77 mm, respectively. The thickness of the double-arm support assembly 2 has been increased from 2 mm to 4 mm. However, the total weight of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1 and the double-arm support assembly 2 has been reduced to 322 g. This optimized structural form effectively improves the structural stiffness and durability. The optimized design concept is to improve the stiffness of the mounting point by designing the double-arm support assembly 2 and increasing the thickness of the support, shortening the length of the rigid steel pipe assembly 1, and reducing the cantilever length of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13. The increased stiffness of the mounting point reduces the mass of the assembly. The lightweight structure can effectively improve the system stiffness, thereby improving the structural durability.
