Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an automotive condenser guard. Background Technology

[0002] In modern cars, the condenser is typically installed at the front of the vehicle to dissipate heat from the refrigerant and ensure the proper functioning of the air conditioning system. To prevent the condenser from being struck or blocked by foreign objects such as stones, leaves, or insects, a protective net is usually installed on the outside of the condenser.

[0003] Existing automotive condenser guards are mostly fixed structures, connected to the condenser frame by screws or clips. While they offer some protection, they are inconvenient to install and remove. When debris accumulates on the guard, the entire unit needs to be disassembled for cleaning, resulting in low maintenance efficiency. Current automotive condenser guards are generally one-piece frame structures, with their length and dimensions fixed during production. They require customization based on different car models or condenser specifications, offering no flexibility for adjustment.

[0004] Because the guard net length is not adjustable, installation on different vehicle models requires redesigning and manufacturing dedicated guard nets, leading to increased production costs and poor versatility. During later maintenance, if the condenser size changes or a different model of condenser needs to be replaced, the original guard net will not be compatible, necessitating replacement with a new one, resulting in resource waste and increased user costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an automotive condenser guard, which can solve the problems of existing guards having non-adjustable length and requiring customization according to different car models or condenser sizes, resulting in poor versatility and high production and usage costs.

[0006] A car condenser guard, comprising: Frame system, auxiliary components and mesh unit; The frame system includes a fixed frame with a sliding hole, a sliding frame passing through the sliding hole, a slider fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame, and a groove on the lower edge of the fixed frame, with the slider slidably connected to the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding frame is fixedly connected to a baffle in a width direction away from the fixed frame.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle and the fixed frame away from the sliding hole.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate has mounting holes.

[0010] Preferably, the upper frame of the fixed frame has an adjustment hole extending along the length direction.

[0011] Preferably, the upper frame of the sliding frame has a first threaded hole near the corner.

[0012] Preferably, limit plates are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower edges of the fixed frame and the sliding frame.

[0013] Preferably, insertion holes are provided at the four corners of the fixed frame and the sliding frame.

[0014] Preferably, a second threaded hole is provided in the insertion hole.

[0015] Preferably, a mesh cover unit is connected to the frame system, the mesh cover unit including a protective mesh frame, and a mesh panel is fixedly connected to the inner periphery of the protective mesh frame.

[0016] Beneficial Effects: The core innovation of this utility model lies in achieving stepless adjustment of the protective netting coverage area. The frame system consists of a fixed frame and a sliding frame. The sliding frame passes through the sliding holes and grooves of the fixed frame, allowing for continuous and stable linear movement along its length. Users can directly adjust the extension length of the sliding frame by pushing the baffle, thereby changing the overall protective width of the netting to accommodate the installation requirements of condensers of different sizes.

[0017] The stepless adjustment function is maintained by a hand-tightening screw locking mechanism. The screw portion of the hand-tightening screw is screwed into the threaded hole of the sliding frame, and the lower surface of the screw cap is pressed against the upper frame of the fixed frame. After tightening, the friction generated by the screw cap can effectively suppress the movement of the sliding frame, ensuring that it can maintain the set position even under vehicle vibration environment, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the protection range.

[0018] The mesh cover unit is detachably connected via a connector plate and countersunk screws. This design allows for quick assembly and disassembly without the use of any special tools, greatly facilitating regular cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the mesh. The detachable structure effectively solves the problem of debris accumulation and difficulty in cleaning the mesh, significantly improving the product's practicality and lifespan while maintaining the stability and reliability of the installation structure.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automotive condenser guard net, including a frame system 100, an auxiliary component 200 is provided on the frame system 100, and a mesh cover unit 300 is connected through the auxiliary component 200.

[0024] The mesh cover unit 300 includes a protective mesh frame 301, which is made of corrosion-resistant material and adopts a narrow-edge, fine-frame structure. This ensures sufficient rigidity to resist driving vibrations while achieving a lighter overall weight and reducing its obstruction of the condenser's heat dissipation resistance and heat exchange efficiency. A mesh panel 302 is fixedly connected to the inner periphery of the protective mesh frame 301. The mesh panel (302) is pre-tensioned and fixed inside the protective mesh frame 301, forming an integrated composite structure.

[0025] The frame system 100 includes a fixed frame 101. A sliding hole 113 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 101 in the width direction. A sliding frame 102 is slidably inserted through the sliding hole 113. The width of the sliding frame 102 is slightly smaller than that of the sliding hole 113, ensuring smooth and interference-free linear movement within the length range of the fixed frame 101, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of the coverage area. A baffle 110 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 102 in the width direction outside the fixed frame 101. The baffle 110 is used to limit the adjustment range of the sliding frame 102 and ensure that the mounting surfaces of the fixed frame 101 and the sliding frame 102 are on the same plane. A mounting plate 103 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 110 and the fixed frame 101 away from the sliding hole 113. The mounting plate 103 has mounting holes 112 for quick and stable connection with the condenser frame. The top surface of the lower side frame of the fixed frame 101 has a groove 104 extending along the length direction. A slider 105 is fixedly connected to the lower side frame of the sliding frame 102 near a corner, and the slider 105 is slidably connected to the groove 104. An adjustment hole 106 extending along the length direction is provided on the upper side frame of the fixed frame 101 for the subsequent insertion and fixing of the auxiliary component 200. A first threaded hole 107 is provided on the upper side frame of the sliding frame 102 near a corner. Limiting plates 111 are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame 101 and the sliding frame 102 for the contact and limiting of the mesh cover unit 300. Insertion holes 108 are also provided at the four corners of the fixed frame 101 and the sliding frame 102 to reserve space for the subsequent connection of the auxiliary component 200. A second threaded hole 109 is provided within each insertion hole 108.

[0026] The auxiliary component 200 includes a hand-tightening screw 201, which consists of a screw and a cap. The screw passes through the adjustment hole 106, and the cap contacts the top surface of the upper frame of the fixed frame 101. The bottom surface of the cap has an anti-slip surface to prevent the sliding frame 102 from sliding along the adjustment hole 106 after tightening. The auxiliary component 200 also includes a plug-in plate 203, which has a countersunk hole 202. After the plug-in plate 203 passes through the plug-in hole 102, it is fixed by a countersunk screw 204. The plug-in plate 203, together with the limiting plate 111, forms a constraint fixation on the front and rear sides of the mesh cover unit 300.

[0027] Working principle: The mesh cover unit 300 is placed within the limiting space formed by the fixed frame 101 and the sliding frame 102, with its edges positioned by the limiting plate 111. The plug-in plate 203 is inserted into the plug-in holes 108 at the four corners of the frame system 100, and countersunk screws 204 are passed through the countersunk holes 202 and screwed into the second threaded holes 109 to press and fix the plug-in plate 203. At this point, the mesh cover unit 300 is securely constrained within the frame system 100.

[0028] The frame system 100 is fixed to the front of the car condenser via the mounting holes 112 on the mounting plate 103. By pushing the baffle 110, the sliding frame 102 can be linearly slid along the sliding holes 113 and the sliding grooves 104 on the fixed frame 101, thereby flexibly adjusting the coverage area of ​​the entire frame system 100 to adapt to condensers of different sizes or meet different protection requirements.

[0029] After adjusting to the appropriate position, tighten the hand screw 201 in the auxiliary component 200. The screw passes through the adjustment hole 106 and is screwed into the first threaded hole 107 on the sliding frame 102. The anti-slip surface on the underside of the cover presses against the upper surface of the fixed frame 101 to form a friction lock, which effectively prevents the sliding frame 102 from shifting during vehicle vibration.

[0030] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
