Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorption technology, specifically to a shock-absorbing pad for automotive cooling modules. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, automotive cooling modules are commonly installed using rigid welding or bolt fixing methods. When aluminum brackets are directly connected to the vehicle body, the lack of effective vibration damping structures causes engine vibrations to be transmitted to the body through the brackets, leading to noise resonance and metal fatigue damage. Some solutions attempt to add rubber pads between the brackets and the body, but these have the following drawbacks:
[0003] Installation complexity: Requires precise alignment of bolt holes, resulting in low assembly efficiency;
[0004] Unstable damping effect: Rubber hardness changes with temperature, and low-temperature hardening leads to a decrease in damping performance;
[0005] Insufficient durability: Long-term compression can easily lead to aging and cracking, requiring frequent replacement;
[0006] High manufacturing costs: Nuts need to be welded to the aluminum bracket, and localized thermal deformation affects structural strength. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a detachable, aging-resistant, and highly efficient vibration-damping structure that can absorb multi-directional vibrations. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned above in the background technology and to propose a shock-absorbing pad for automotive cooling modules.
[0008] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A shock-absorbing pad for an automotive cooling module includes a bracket and a shock-absorbing component. The bracket has a receiving cavity for embedding the shock-absorbing component. The shock-absorbing component is detachably installed in the receiving cavity within the bracket. The shock-absorbing component includes a frame and a plurality of protruding structures formed on the inner wall of the frame. A first cavity is formed between the plurality of protruding structures. The frame and the plurality of protruding structures are integrally formed. The shock-absorbing component is made of a flexible material that can deform under stress.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the plurality of protruding structures include a first protrusion and a first limiting frame, the first protrusion and the first limiting frame are both fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the frame, the first limiting frame is mounted on the first protrusion, and a second cavity is formed between the first limiting frame and the first protrusion.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both the first limiting frame and the first protrusion are integrally formed with the frame.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the plurality of protruding structures also include a second protrusion fixed to the top of the inner wall of the frame, and a second limiting frame is also fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the frame.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the second limiting frame and the second protrusion are also integrally formed with the frame.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bracket includes an upper frame and a lower frame, and the storage cavity is formed in the lower frame.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a back plate frame is fixed at the rear end of the frame along its edge.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the back plate frame can be attached to the rear end of the lower frame.
[0017] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the external structure of the frame matches the internal structure of the storage cavity, and the frame can be inserted into the storage cavity.
[0018] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper frame is shaped like an inverted "T".
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] This utility model achieves the following advantages through the nested design of the split shock absorption component and the bracket:
[0021] Highly efficient vibration reduction and noise reduction:
[0022] The shock absorption components are made of flexible materials (such as rubber / silicone), which absorb vibration energy through the deformation of the first and second cavities when subjected to force;
[0023] The multi-layered cavity structure (with protrusions and limiters intersecting) disperses impact forces from different directions, reducing the amplitude of vibration transmitted to the vehicle body.
[0024] High maintainability:
[0025] The shock-absorbing components can be individually snapped into the storage cavity of the bracket, and can be directly replaced when damaged without disassembling the entire cooling module. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0032] Currently, automotive cooling modules are generally installed using welding or traditional bolts for direct fixing. The lack of effective vibration damping design when connecting the aluminum bracket to the vehicle body causes vibrations to be transmitted to the body through rigid connections, leading to noise and fatigue damage. Some solutions attempt to add rubber between the bracket and the body, but these suffer from complex installation, inconsistent vibration damping, and aging issues with long-term use. Furthermore, in existing technologies, nuts are typically welded to the aluminum bracket, resulting in high manufacturing costs and a tendency for localized thermal deformation of the bracket, affecting structural strength.

A first cavity 3 is formed between the plurality of protruding structures. The frame 201 and the plurality of protruding structures are integrally formed. The shock-absorbing component 2 is made of a flexible material that can deform under stress.
[0034] The plurality of protruding structures include a first protrusion 203 and a first limiting frame 204. The first protrusion 203 and the first limiting frame 204 are both fixed to the inner wall sides of the frame 201. The first limiting frame 204 is mounted on the first protrusion 203. A second cavity 4 is formed between the first limiting frame 204 and the first protrusion 203.

[0037] The second limiting frame 205 and the second protrusion 206 are also integrally formed with the frame 201.
[0038] The support 1 includes an upper frame 101 and a lower frame 102, and the storage cavity 103 is formed in the lower frame 102.
[0039] A back panel frame 202 is fixed at the rear end of the frame 201 along its edge.
[0040] The back panel frame 202 can be attached to the rear end of the lower frame 102.
[0041] The external structure of the frame 201 matches the internal structure of the storage cavity 103, and the frame 201 can be inserted into the storage cavity 103.
[0042] The upper frame 101 is in the shape of an inverted "T".
