[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a water chamber for an automotive radiator, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a water chamber body 1, which is injection molded from engineering plastic and has an internal cavity structure for the flow of coolant. An outer tube 3 is integrally injection molded onto the water chamber body 1. An inner tube 4 is slidably and sealingly fitted inside the outer tube 3. The inner tube 4 can move along the axis of the outer tube 3. A connector 5 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the inner tube 4. A locking mechanism is provided between the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 4 to fix the relative position of the inner tube 4 and the outer tube 3.

[0023] The sliding fit between the inner tube 4 and the outer tube 3 enables the adjustment of the water chamber interface length, which greatly facilitates assembly in the narrow engine compartment and improves the versatility and flexibility of the same water chamber on different vehicle models.

[0024] Multiple reinforcing ribs 2 are fixedly connected to the water chamber body 1, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 2 are evenly distributed.

[0025] To ensure a tight seal during the sliding process, an annular groove is provided on the outer side of the inner tube 4, and a sealing ring 10 is fixedly connected inside the annular groove.

[0026] The locking mechanism includes a first fixing bar 6, a second fixing bar 7, a locking screw 9, and a screw sleeve 8. The first fixing bar 6 is fixedly connected to the inner tube 4, and the second fixing bar 7 is fixedly connected to the outer tube 3. The screw sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the second fixing bar 7. The first fixing bar 6 has multiple fixing holes. The locking screw 9 is threaded into the screw sleeve 8. By rotating the locking screw 9, its end can be inserted into the fixing hole to achieve locking, thereby fixing the relative position of the inner tube 4 and the outer tube 3.

[0027] By employing a mechanical locking mechanism that uses screws and fixing holes, the locking force is large, the fixation is reliable, and it can withstand the vibration and pressure of the cooling system, ensuring that it will not loosen during vehicle operation.

[0028] To achieve a more balanced and stable locking effect, two locking mechanisms are provided, and the two locking mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the outer tube 3.

[0029] The multiple fixing holes on the first fixing strip 6 are evenly spaced.

[0030] Working principle: When installing the radiator, first loosen the locking screw 9, then slide the inner tube 4 according to the actual space layout of the engine compartment, and adjust the extension length and angle of the connector 5 to avoid other components and facilitate the connection of the cooling pipes. After adjusting to the optimal position, tighten the locking screw 9 so that its end is firmly inserted into the corresponding fixing hole on the first fixing strip 6 to complete the fixing.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
