Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to vehicle cooling technology, and more particularly to a heat exchange module assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] During vehicle operation, components such as the engine generate heat. The heat exchange module assembly is a key component of the vehicle's air conditioning system. It is used to exchange heat with the outside air to release or absorb the heat generated by the engine and other components, thus preventing overheating damage to these components.

[0003] Existing heat exchange module assemblies typically include a radiator and a shroud. The shroud integrates a cooling fan, which, through the airflow concentration effect of the shroud, drives the airflow on the radiator to accelerate, thereby improving heat dissipation. In traditional installation methods, the shroud is fixed to the radiator with bolts.

[0004] However, installing the radiator cover requires tedious operations such as thread alignment and tightening, and external tools are needed to assist in the process. This results in a complex connection structure between the radiator and the radiator cover, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient and affecting the efficiency of assembly and subsequent maintenance.

[0050] The heat exchange module assembly is a key component of a vehicle's air conditioning system. During vehicle operation, components such as the engine generate heat; the heat exchange module assembly facilitates heat exchange with the outside air, releasing or absorbing the heat generated by these components and preventing overheating damage. In related technologies, the heat exchange module assembly typically includes a radiator and a shroud. The shroud integrates a cooling fan, which, through the shroud's airflow-gathering effect, drives the airflow on the radiator to accelerate, thereby improving heat dissipation. In traditional installation methods, the shroud is usually fixed to the radiator using bolts.

[0051] Installing the radiator cover requires tedious operations such as thread alignment and tightening, and external tools are needed for assistance. Due to the limitations of the vehicle's overall space structure, disassembly is difficult and labor costs are excessive when it needs to be disassembled. This results in a complex connection structure between the radiator and the radiator cover, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient and affecting the efficiency of assembly and subsequent maintenance.

[0052] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a heat exchange module assembly and a vehicle. In this technical solution, the heat exchange module assembly includes a radiator and a shroud. The radiator has a snap-fit ​​component, and the shroud has snap-fit ​​holes, with the snap-fit ​​component inserted into the snap-fit ​​holes. A connecting block is provided on the radiator, located outside the shroud, and has an insertion groove facing the shroud. An insertion plate is provided on the shroud, inserted into the insertion groove. By integrating the snap-fit ​​component onto the radiator and engaging it with the snap-fit ​​holes on the shroud, and by integrating the insertion plate onto the shroud and inserting it into the insertion groove on the connecting block, a two-stage fixing mechanism is formed, shortening the assembly time of the shroud and reducing the risk of misoperation. Furthermore, the shroud can be assembled onto the radiator without the need for bolts and external tools, simplifying the connection structure between the shroud and the radiator and improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the radiator and the shroud.

[0053] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 8 The diagram shows a simplified schematic of the heat exchange module assembly and various components in the vehicle. The specific structure of the heat exchange module assembly and other components in the vehicle is not limited to these. Figures 1 to 8 of examples.

[0054] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0055] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this application provides a heat exchange module assembly, including a radiator 100 and a fan shroud 200. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the radiator 100 is provided with a snap-fit ​​component 300, and the air shield 200 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 201, into which the snap-fit ​​component 300 is inserted. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, and in combination Figure 1 A connecting block 400 is provided on the radiator 100, located outside the air shield 200. The connecting block 400 has a plug-in slot 401, with the slot opening facing the air shield 200. A plug-in plate 500 is provided on the air shield 200, and the plug-in plate 500 is inserted into the plug-in slot 401. The air shield 200 is configured to be detachably connected to the outside of the radiator 100 via a snap-fit ​​member 300 engaging with a snap-fit ​​hole 201 and a plug-in plate 500 engaging with a plug-in slot 401.

[0056] In practice, the operator can first insert the connector plate 500 into the connector slot 401. Then, press the shroud 200 towards the radiator 100, causing the snap-fit ​​piece 300 on the radiator 100 to insert into the snap-fit ​​hole 201. This completes the installation of the shroud 200 onto the radiator 100. To remove the shroud 200, simply release the snap-fit ​​piece 300 from the snap-fit ​​hole 201 and pull the connector plate 500 out of the connector slot 401. To release the snap-fit ​​piece 300 from the snap-fit ​​hole 201, the snap-fit ​​piece 300 can be engaged in the snap-fit ​​hole 201 through elastic deformation. In this case, simply squeeze the snap-fit ​​piece 300 manually; after deformation, it can be pulled out of the snap-fit ​​hole 201. In the above configuration, by integrating the snap-fit ​​component 300 onto the radiator 100 and snapping it into the snap-fit ​​hole 201 on the wind shield 200, and by integrating the plug-in plate 500 onto the wind shield 200 and inserting the plug-in plate 500 into the plug-in slot 401 on the connecting block 400, a two-stage fixing mechanism is formed, which shortens the assembly time of the wind shield 200 and reduces the risk of misoperation.

[0057] Furthermore, neither the installation nor disassembly of the wind shield 200 can be completed without the use of bolts or external tools, simplifying the connection structure between the wind shield 200 and the radiator 100 and improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the radiator 100 and the wind shield 200.

[0058] It should be noted that the directions indicated by the X, Y, and Z arrows in the attached diagram are mutually perpendicular in three-dimensional space.

[0059] In one possible implementation, in the height direction of the heat sink 100, the snap-fit ​​member 300 is located above the connecting block 400, and the snap-fit ​​hole 201 is located above the plug-in plate 500; specifically, as follows... Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in the height direction of the radiator 100, i.e., the direction indicated by arrow Z in the figure, the snap-fit ​​300 is located above the connecting block 400, or it can be understood that the height of the snap-fit ​​300 is greater than the height of the connecting block 400. The snap-fit ​​hole 201 is located above the plug-in plate 500, i.e., the height of the snap-fit ​​hole 201 is greater than the height of the plug-in plate 500. In this way, a fixing mechanism can be formed at both ends of the radiator 200 in the height direction to limit the movement and avoid vibration or loosening caused by fixing the radiator 200 on one side.

[0060] Alternatively, along the height of the radiator 100, the snap-fit ​​member 300 and the connecting block 400 are located on both sides of the radiator 100 (not shown in the figure), and the snap-fit ​​hole 201 and the plug-in plate 500 are located on both sides of the shroud 200 (not shown in the figure). Similarly, the installation stability of the shroud 200 can be improved by setting it in the above manner. In specific implementation, simply insert the plug-in plate 500 into the plug-in slot 401 in the horizontal direction, and then press the shroud 200 towards the side closer to the radiator 100 to insert the snap-fit ​​member 300 into the snap-fit ​​hole 201.

[0061] In one possible implementation, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​component 300 includes a pin 310 and at least two resilient claws 320 connected to the pin 310; the at least two resilient claws 320 are arranged opposite to each other, and the snap-fit ​​hole 201 is a spline hole adapted to the resilient claws 320. The resilient claws 320 are configured to be inserted into and removed from the spline hole by elastic deformation.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the elastic claw 320 is made of a metal material that can undergo elastic deformation, such as spring steel, or a plastic material that can undergo elastic deformation; during assembly, the elastic claw 320 can be easily inserted into the spline hole by squeezing to produce a slight deformation; during disassembly, only appropriate external force needs to be applied to make the elastic claw 320 spring back to its original position and exit the spline hole, without the need for other tools throughout the process.

[0063] Compared to the traditional threaded connection that requires repeated tightening, the flexible claw 320 can be inserted and removed into the locking hole 201, which shortens the time for each disassembly and assembly and greatly reduces the amount of maintenance work.

[0064] Furthermore, the contour matching between the spline hole and the elastic jaw 320 provides a guiding effect. Even with slight alignment deviations, the elastic jaw 320 can automatically correct its position through elastic deformation, reducing the probability of misoperation. The engagement between the elastic jaw 320 and the spline hole forms a multi-directional constraint, preventing the wind shield 200 from shifting relative to the radiator 100 in the directions indicated by the X, Y, or Z arrows. The elastic jaw 320 continuously acts on the spline hole wall, forming a dynamic preload, effectively suppressing the risk of loosening caused by vibrations during vehicle operation.

[0065] In one possible implementation, there are four elastic claws 320; the four elastic claws 320 are arranged in pairs facing away from each other and are circumferentially disposed on the pin 310; in the extending direction of the pin 310, the elastic claws 320 extend away from the heat sink 100, and the length of the elastic claws 320 is greater than the length of the pin 310, so that a clearance gap 301 is formed between the two opposing elastic claws 320.

[0066] In the above embodiments, the pin 310 can be a cuboid, with one end connected to the heat sink 100, or the pin 310 can be welded to the heat sink 100; the pin 310 provides support for the elastic claws 320. The four elastic claws 320 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the pin 310 and arranged opposite each other in pairs. It can be understood that the head of the elastic claw 320 has a slope, which slopes outward from the pin 310, visually presenting that the elastic claws 320 are opposite each other in pairs.

[0067] This design ensures that the constraint force on the windshield 200 is evenly distributed in multiple directions, avoiding localized stress concentration caused by unilateral force application and significantly improving the torsional strength and overall rigidity of the connection structure. Vibrations during vehicle operation are dispersed to each elastic claw 320, reducing the risk of fatigue failure of a single elastic claw 320 and extending the connection life.

[0068] In practice, the actual size of the elastic claw 320 is slightly larger than the size of the spline hole. The interference fit is achieved through forced elastic deformation, which further improves the reliability of the connection. After the two elastic claws 320 are inserted into the spline hole, they generate opposing clamping forces due to the elastic restoring force, forming a self-locking effect similar to a "ratchet", which effectively suppresses the movement or shaking of the wind shield 200 caused by vibration.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the length of the elastic claw 320 in the Y direction exceeds the end face of the pin 310 away from the heat sink 100, and the clearance 301 reserved between the two opposing elastic claws 320 can facilitate the elastic deformation of the elastic claw 320.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the wind shield 200 includes a wind shield body 210 and a mounting plate 220 surrounding the wind shield body 210; a plurality of snap-fit ​​members 300 are provided, and a plurality of mounting portions 230 corresponding one-to-one with the snap-fit ​​members 300 are provided on the mounting plate 220, and snap-fit ​​holes 201 are provided on the mounting portions 230; the mounting plate 220 is connected to the plug-in plate 500.

[0071] In the above embodiments, the mounting plate 220 and the wind shield body 210 can be integrally formed. Specifically, the mounting plate 220 and the wind shield body 210 are integrally injection molded and can be made of polypropylene (also known as modified PP). This helps reduce the weight of the wind shield 200, thereby reducing the overall weight of the heat exchange module assembly and further facilitating disassembly and assembly. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple mounting parts 230 can be spaced apart along the mounting enclosure 220, for example, a number of mounting parts 230 can be provided. Figure 1 The four mounting parts 230 can be arranged at intervals on the top edge of the mounting plate 220. Alternatively, they can be arranged at intervals on both sides of the mounting plate 220 in the Z direction (not shown in the figure in this case). The number of the snap-fit ​​parts 300 can also be adjusted according to the size of the radiator 100 or the heat dissipation requirements to meet the needs of different vehicle platforms.

[0072] In the above embodiments, by providing multiple snap-fit ​​parts 300 and their corresponding mounting parts 230, the connection force between the wind shield 200 and the radiator 100 is distributed to multiple points of application, avoiding deformation or fatigue failure caused by local stress concentration. The mounting plate 220 serves as the outer frame of the wind shield 200, and the distributed points of application connected to the radiator 100 are set on the outer frame, improving the overall rigidity and torsional resistance of the wind shield body 210 and ensuring the stability of the heat dissipation air duct within the wind shield body 210.

[0073] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the extension direction of the plug plate 500 is parallel to the height direction of the wind shield body 210, and the slot of the plug groove 401 is arranged in the horizontal direction; the plug groove 401 is a through hole, and the extension direction of the through hole is parallel to the height direction of the wind shield body 210.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the extension direction of the plug-in plate 500 is parallel to the direction indicated by the Z-arrow, and the slot of the plug-in groove 401 is set in the horizontal direction. Thus, when the plug-in plate 500 is inserted into the plug-in groove 401, it needs to be vertically inserted into the groove 401 along the Z-direction, forming a clear linear guide path. During assembly, simply sliding the plug-in plate 500 vertically is sufficient to complete the connection, without the need for complex angle adjustments. Furthermore, the stability of the wind shield 200 is improved by utilizing its own weight.

[0075] Furthermore, the insertion slot 401 is a through hole, and the extension direction of the through hole is parallel to the height direction of the wind shield body 210. By setting the insertion slot 401 as a through hole, it can accommodate insertion boards 500 of various lengths and sizes, improving adaptability. At the same time, it avoids the problem of lateral displacement of the wind shield 200.

[0076] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a guide post 600 and a guide plate 700; the guide post 600 is disposed on the radiator 100, the guide plate 700 is connected to the mounting plate 220, and a guide groove 701 is provided on the guide plate 700, the extension direction of the guide groove 701 is parallel to the height direction of the wind shield body 210; the guide post 600 is located in the guide groove 701 and can slide along the extension direction of the guide groove 701.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the extension direction of the guide groove 701 is consistent with the height of the wind shield 200, which limits the vertical movement trajectory of the wind shield 200 relative to the radiator 100 and improves the assembly accuracy of the wind shield 200.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the axis of the guide post 600 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide groove 701, and a portion of the guide post 600 is located outside the guide plate 700.

[0079] Here, the guide post 600 and the guide groove 701 provide clear visual guidance. During assembly, workers can clearly observe the guide post 600 located outside the guide plate 700, avoiding misalignment. The guide groove 701 then automatically fine-tunes the alignment, significantly reducing the skill barrier for operators. To enhance the structural strength of the guide plate 700, multiple structural ribs can also be provided on it.

[0080] In one possible implementation, the mounting plate 220 has two guide plates 700, spaced apart, and the radiator 100 has two guide posts 600 corresponding to the guide plates 700; the mounting plate 220 has two plug-in plates 500, spaced apart, and the radiator 100 has two connecting blocks 400 corresponding to the plug-in plates 500. Specifically, in such a implementation... Figure 1 In the direction indicated by the X arrow, the wind shield 200 is arranged in the order of "plug-in plate 500, guide plate 700, guide plate 700, plug-in plate 500"; correspondingly, the radiator 100 is arranged in the order of "connecting block 400, guide post 600, guide post 600, connecting block 400". Of course, other arrangements are also possible, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] In summary, in the heat exchange module assembly of one embodiment of this application, when installing the shroud 200 onto the radiator 100, the operator can first lift the shroud 200 and align the guide groove 701 on the guide plate 700 with the guide post 600. At this time, the plug-in plate 500 can be inserted into the plug-in slot 401. Moving the shroud 200 from top to bottom, the guide post 600 slides within the guide groove 701, and the plug-in plate 500 is inserted into the plug-in slot 401. Next, there is a certain gap between the shroud body 210 and the radiator 100. The operator can then press the shroud body 210 or the mounting plate 220 towards the radiator 100, and the snap-fit ​​member 300 on the radiator 100 will be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 201, thus completing the installation of the shroud 200.

[0082] When disassembling the wind shield 200, the operator only needs to press the elastic claws 320 to cause the opposite elastic claws 320 to elastically deform and move closer together. Then, drag the wind shield body 210 or the mounting plate 220 away from the radiator 100. Lifting the wind shield 200 upwards completes the disassembly. Neither the installation nor disassembly of the wind shield 200 requires bolts or other parts, nor any other tools. Operators can complete the process independently, simplifying the connection structure between the radiator 100 and the wind shield 200, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly, and increasing the efficiency of the operator.

[0083] In one possible implementation, to further facilitate operator operation, the mounting panel 220 and the plug-in plate 500 are integrally injection molded; and / or, the mounting panel 220 and the guide plate 700 are integrally injection molded.

[0084] The mounting plate 220 and the connector plate 500 can be injection molded as a single piece, or the mounting plate 220 and the guide plate 700 can be injection molded as a single piece, or the mounting plate 220, connector plate 500, and guide plate 700 can be injection molded as a single piece simultaneously. In practice, the mounting plate 220, connector plate 500, and guide plate 700 are all made of modified PP, and the wind shield body 210 and mounting plate 220 can also be injection molded as a single piece of modified PP. This effectively reduces the weight of the wind shield 200, making it easier for operators to handle.

[0085] Furthermore, the aforementioned design, through a one-piece injection-molded structure, avoids defects such as sharp corners, exposed substrate, and abrupt cross-sectional changes, resulting in a rounded shape for the wind shield 200 and mitigating sharp corners and internal vortices. By using modified PP, the surface of the wind shield 200 does not require complex electroplating or powder coating processes, thus avoiding environmental pollution.
