Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling pipe assembly, and more specifically, it relates to the cooling pipe assembly of an automotive thermal management system. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive thermal management system is a crucial system for ensuring the normal operation of core components such as the engine and battery (in new energy vehicles). The cooling pipes are an important part of this system, acting as the "blood vessels" of the thermal management system. They primarily transport coolant to facilitate heat transfer and dissipation, ensuring that components like the engine operate within a suitable temperature range. Due to the compact space within the vehicle chassis and engine compartment, existing pipe fixing structures are mostly fixed clamps, making it impossible to adjust pipe positions according to actual installation space. This leads to laminar flow of coolant within the pipes, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of targeted heat dissipation structures on the outer walls of the pipes, especially under high-load conditions, prevents rapid heat dissipation to the environment, causing excessively high coolant temperatures and impacting the thermal management system's cooling performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The automotive thermal management system cooling pipe assembly provided by this utility model addresses the problem that the existing pipe fixing structure is mostly a fixed pipe clamp, which is limited by the compact space in the car chassis and engine compartment. This makes it impossible to adjust the pipe position according to the actual installation space. When the coolant flows in the pipe, it tends to form laminar flow, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the outer wall of the pipe lacks a targeted heat dissipation structure. Especially under high load conditions, it is unable to quickly dissipate heat to the environment, leading to excessively high coolant temperature and affecting the heat dissipation effect of the thermal management system.

[0004] This utility model relates to an automotive thermal management system cooling pipe assembly, comprising: an assembly bracket, a support column, a support bracket, a support base, a positioning support, and cooling pipes; the assembly bracket has an assembly groove on its side, a locking groove on its side, a locking block inside the assembly groove, and an assembly groove on the top of the locking block; the support column is located on top of the locking block, has an assembly groove on its top, and an assembly column is fixedly located at its bottom; the support bracket is located inside the assembly groove, has a water tank on its top, has an installation groove on its top, and has heat-conducting fins; the support base is located on top of the support column, and has a fixing block on its top; the positioning support is located on top of the support column, and has a limit bracket on its top; the cooling pipes are located on the tops of the support base and the positioning support.

[0005] Furthermore, the side of the assembly bracket is also provided with: a connecting support block, a fixing stud, and a threaded sleeve; the connecting support block is fixedly disposed on the side of the assembly bracket, the fixing stud is disposed on the inner side of the assembly bracket, and the threaded sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing stud.

[0006] Furthermore, the side of the locking block is also provided with a threaded support and a clamping screw block; the threaded support is provided on the side of the locking block, and the clamping screw block is sleeved on the outside of the threaded support.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the support column is also provided with: mounting bolts, threaded blocks, and limiting blocks; the mounting bolts are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support column, the threaded blocks are sleeved on the outside of the mounting bolts, and the limiting blocks are sleeved on the outside of the mounting bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the water tank is also provided with a locking opening and a locking bolt; the locking opening is opened on the side of the water tank, and the locking bolt is located inside the locking opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the side of the bearing support is also provided with: a locking block, a limiting slot, a limiting bolt, a docking slot, and a docking bolt; the locking block is located at the bottom of the bearing support, the limiting slot is opened on the side of the bearing support and the locking block, the limiting bolt is located inside the limiting slot, the docking slot is opened on the side of the bearing support and the fixing block, and the docking bolt is located inside the docking slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the side of the positioning support is also provided with: a positioning block, a positioning slot and a positioning bolt; the positioning block is located at the bottom of the positioning support, the positioning slot is opened on the side of the positioning block and the positioning support, and the positioning bolt is located inside the positioning slot.

[0011] The automotive thermal management system cooling pipe assembly provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses connecting support blocks to fix the bearing and fixing studs, and cooperates with the supporting threaded support cylinder to achieve precise spacing positioning of the two sets of assembly brackets. Then, through the assembly limit of locking support blocks, threaded support columns and clamping screw blocks, it is ensured that the bearing support column can form a stable support for the bearing bracket and positioning support according to the pipeline requirements, laying a precise foundation for the subsequent fixing of cooling pipelines.

[0012] 2. The load-bearing support, fixing block, positioning support and limiting bracket on the assembly bracket of this utility model cooperate with each other to flexibly adapt and fix the entire cooling pipeline, which not only meets the needs of different installation scenarios, but also ensures the stability of the pipeline after fixing, and effectively avoids pipeline displacement from affecting heat dissipation. 3. The bearing bracket of this utility model supports the water tank installed on the top of the assembly bracket. The coolant inside the water tank is in direct contact with the cooling pipe through the heat-conducting fins. With the help of the heat conduction effect of the heat-conducting fins, the coolant quickly absorbs the heat of the pipe, forming an auxiliary heat dissipation structure, which further improves the heat dissipation effect of the cooling pipe.
