Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Kraftfahrzeugkühler, bestehend aus Rohren und Rippen, dem sogenannten Kühlernetz, sowie aus einem oberen und einem unteren Wasserkasten und Seitenteilen beiderseits des Kühlernetzes und zwischen den Wasserkästen, wobei die Seitenteile je aus einem etwa U-förmigen Profil aus Metall gebildet sind, und zwar je mit einer ebenen Basis und abgewinkelten Seitenwänden geringer Höhe und wobei die Seitenteile jeweils so an das Kühlemetz angepaßt sind, daß sie die Seitenbereiche des Kühlernetzes in voller Höhe umfassen, und Mittel zur Befestigung an den Wasserkästen sowie Mittel zur Befestigung an verschiedenen Fahrzeugteilen aufweisen.The invention relates to a motor vehicle radiator, consisting of tubes and fins, the so-called cooler network, and of an upper and a lower water tank and side parts on both sides of the cooler network and between the water boxes, the side parts each being formed from an approximately U-shaped profile made of metal are, each with a flat base and angled side walls of low height and the side parts are each adapted to the cooling network so that they cover the side areas of the cooling network in full height, and means for attachment to the water tanks and means for attachment to various Have vehicle parts.

Ein derartiger Kraftfahrzeugkühler wurde durch das DE-U-8629407.5 bekannt. Dieser Kühler weist Kunststoffwasserkästen und Seitenteile auf, die ihrerseits form- und kraftschlüssig mit den Kunststoffwasserkästen verbunden sind. Eine solche Verbindung der Seitenteile mit den Wasserkästen setzt eine spezielle Anpassung der zu verbindenden Teile voraus und ist daher nicht ohne weiteres universell für verschiedene Kühlertypen verwendbar.Such a motor vehicle radiator was known from DE-U-8629407.5. This cooler has plastic water tanks and side parts, which in turn are positively and non-positively connected to the plastic water tanks. Such a connection of the side parts to the water tanks requires a special adaptation of the parts to be connected and is therefore not universally usable for different types of coolers.

Durch die US-A-4619313 wurde ein Kraftfahrzeugkühler in gelöteter bzw. geschweißter Bauweise bekannt, der für Schienenfahrzeuge bestimmt und in seiner Bauweise dementsprechend schwer und aufwendig ausgebildet ist. So sind die Seitenteile mehrteilig als ineinandergreifende und gegeneinander bewegliche Schienen ausgebildet, die über entsprechende Knotenbleche mit dem Rohrboden verschraubt oder verschweißt sind. Darüber hinaus werden diese seitenteile über zahlreiche Zugstangen an das Bühlemetz gepreßt. Diese konstruktiv und teilemässig aufwendige und daher auch äußerst schwere Bauweise ist für Kraftfahrzeugkühler mit hohen Stückzahlen nicht geeignet.From US-A-4619313 a motor vehicle radiator in a soldered or welded design was known, which is intended for rail vehicles and is accordingly heavy and complex in its design. The side parts are designed in several parts as interlocking and mutually movable rails, which are screwed or welded to the tube sheet via corresponding gusset plates. In addition, these side parts are pressed onto the Bühlemetz via numerous tie rods. This constructive and partially complex and therefore extremely heavy construction is not suitable for automotive radiators with large numbers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Kühler des gleichen Typs in verschiedene Fahrzeugmodelle der gleichen Kategorie, aber mit unterschiedlichen Konstruktionsmericmalen, die unterschiedliche Methoden des Einbaus in die Fahrgestelle der verschiedenen Modelle erfordern, einzubauen, d.h., es soll eine möglichst universell verwendbare Befestigungsmöglichkeit für derartige Kühler der eingangs genannten Art gefunden werden.The invention has for its object to install radiators of the same type in different vehicle models in the same category, but with different design features that require different methods of installation in the chassis of the different models, that is, it should be a universally usable mounting option for such radiators of the type mentioned above can be found.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die die Mittel zur Befestigung der Seitenteile am oberen Wasserkasten einerseits als am Seitenteil angeordnete, abgebogene Laschen und andererseits als Riegelverschluß ausgebildetsind, der am Seitenteil angeordnet ist, dessen Riegel in den Wasserkasten bzw. dessen Robrboden eingreift und durch Arretiermittel, vorzugsweise Vemietung fixierbar ist, daß die Mittel zur Befestigung des Seitenteils am unteren Wasserkasten als ein abgebogenes Endstück am Seitenteil ausgebildet sind, welches durch Kippen in den unteren Wasserkasten bzw. dessen Rohrboden eingefügt ist und daß die Seitenteile Mittel zur Befestigung am Kühlemetz aufweisen.This object is achieved in that the means for attaching the side parts to the upper water box are designed on the one hand as bent tabs arranged on the side part and on the other hand as a latch lock which is arranged on the side part, the latch of which engages in the water box or its bottom and by locking means , preferably rental is fixable that the means for attaching the side part to the lower water tank are designed as a bent end piece on the side part, which is inserted by tilting in the lower water tank or the tube sheet and that the side parts have means for attachment to the cooling network.

Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß man eine geringere Anzahl von Küblerarten benötigt, von der jede dazu geeignet ist, in mehrere verschiedene Fahrzeugtypen eingebaut zu werden, seien es Personen-oder Nutzfahrzeuge oder andere. Der Riegel des Riegelverschlusses greift somit in den nach innen vorspringenden Teil des Rohrbodens des oberen Wasserkasten ein, während die Laschen an der Außenseite des Rohrbodens anliegen - somit liegt das obere Ende des Seitenteils an zwei Seiten des Rohrbodens an und gewährleistet eine feste und spielfreie Verbindung zwischen beiden Teilen. Der Rohrboden des unteren Wasserkastens weist ebenfalls aufgrund einer umlaufenden Nut bzw. Rinne einen nach innen vorspringenden Teil auf, an dessen Innenseite das Endstück des Seitenteils fest anliegt.This results in the advantage that a smaller number of Kübler types is required, each of which is suitable for being installed in several different types of vehicles, be they passenger or commercial vehicles or others. The bolt of the bolt lock thus engages in the inwardly projecting part of the tube sheet of the upper water tank, while the tabs rest on the outside of the tube sheet - thus the upper end of the side part rests on two sides of the tube sheet and ensures a firm and play-free connection between both parts. The tube plate of the lower water tank also has an inwardly projecting part due to a circumferential groove or groove, on the inside of which the end piece of the side part is firmly seated.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung (gemäß Anspruch 2) sind die Mittel zur Befestigung am Kühlemetz als Lappen bzw. Klauen ausgebildet, die in die Seitenflächen des Netzes eingreifen und die aus der Innenseite der Basis des Seitenteils, vorzugsweise durch Stanzen, berausgedrückt sind. Das Seitenteil wird somit ohne weitere Hilfsmittel, d.h. außer den genannten Klauen bzw. Lappen mit dem Rippenblock verkrallt, d.h. formschlüssig verbunden.In a further embodiment of the invention (according to claim 2), the means for attachment to the cooling network are designed as tabs or claws which engage in the side surfaces of the network and which are pressed out of the inside of the base of the side part, preferably by stamping. The side part is thus without further aids, i.e. in addition to the claws or lobes clawed to the rib block, i.e. positively connected.

Schließlich sieht eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung (gemäß Anspruch 3) vor, daß die Mittel zur Befestigung von vielen verschiedenen Fahrzeugteilen bzw. Fahrzeugzubehör als Öffnungen in der ebenen Basis des Seitenteils ausgebildet sind. Damit ergibt sich eine Vielzahl von Befestigungspunkten für die bezüglich ihrer Befestigung verschieden ausgebildeten Fahrzeugteile.Finally, a further embodiment of the invention (according to claim 3) provides that the means for fastening many different vehicle parts or vehicle accessories are designed as openings in the flat base of the side part. This results in a large number of fastening points for the vehicle parts which are designed differently with regard to their fastening.

Der erfindungsgemäße Kühler besteht einerseits aus einem sogenannten Kühlemetz 2, welches aus Rohren und Lamellen bzw. Rippen gebildet ist, wobei die Rohre in einen Rohrboden 3' eines oberen Wasserkastens 3 und in einen Rohrboden 4' eines unteren Wasserkastens 4 münden und in diesen dicht befestigt sind. Beiderseits des Kühlemetzes 2 und zwischen den Wasserkästen 3 und 4 sind Seitenteile 1 angeordnet.The cooler according to the invention consists on the one hand from a so-called cooling network 2, which is formed from tubes and fins or fins, the tubes opening into a tube sheet 3 'of an upper water tank 3 and into a tube sheet 4' of a lower water tank 4 and being tightly fastened therein. Side parts 1 are arranged on both sides of the cooling network 2 and between the water boxes 3 and 4.

Diese Seitenteile 1 sind aus einem etwa U-förmigen Metallprofil mit einer ebenen Basis 5 und Seitenwänden 6 geringerer Höhe hergestellt. Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 hervorgeht, ist das Seitenteil 1 mit Mitteln zur Befestigung und Fixierung am Kühler versehen. Bei diesen Mitteln handelt es sich im oberen Teil um einen in Bügeln 8 geführten Riegel 7 und um gebogene Endstücke in Form von Laschen 9. Diese Laschen 9 liegen außen am Rohrboden 3' des Wasserkastens 3 an, und der Riegel 7 wird in eine Nut bzw. Ausnehmung im Rohrboden 3' geschoben. Beim unteren Teil des Seitenteiles 1 bestehen die Mittel zur Befestigung aus einem abgewinkelten und abgebogenen Endabschnitt 10, der in den Rohrboden 4' bzw. in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung eingefügt wird. Die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen die Anordnung der Seitenteile 1 zu beiden Seiten des Kühlernetzes 2. An dem oberen und dem unteren Wasserkasten 3 und 4 sind jeweils Stützzapfen 11 angeordnet, am oberen Wasserkasten 3 ist eine Öffnung 12 für den Einlaß der Kühlflüssigkeit und am unteren Wasserkasten 4 ist eine Öffnung 13 für den Auslaß der Kühlflüssigkeit in den Kühlmittelkreislauf des Motors vorgesehen.These side parts 1 are made of an approximately U-shaped metal profile with a flat base 5 and side walls 6 of lower height. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the side part 1 is provided with means for fastening and fixing to the radiator. These means are in the upper part of a bar 7 guided in brackets 8 and curved end pieces in the form of tabs 9. These tabs 9 lie on the outside of the tube sheet 3 'of the water box 3, and the bar 7 is in a groove or Pushed recess in the tube sheet 3 '. In the lower part of the side part 1, the means for fastening consist of an angled and bent end section 10 which is inserted into the tube sheet 4 'or into a corresponding recess. 3 and 4 show the arrangement of the side parts 1 on both sides of the radiator network 2. On the upper and the lower water box 3 and 4, support pins 11 are arranged, on the upper water box 3 is an opening 12 for the inlet of the cooling liquid and on lower water box 4, an opening 13 is provided for the outlet of the coolant into the coolant circuit of the engine.

Die Basis 5 des Seitenteils 1 weist einerseits Ausstanzungen 14 auf, aus denen Klauen bzw. Lappen 15 herausgebogen sind, die in das Netz 2 des Kühlers eingreifen und somit die Befestigung des Seitenteils 1 am Netz 2 verbessern. Andererseits sind verschiedene Öffnungen 16 zur Anbringung von verschiedenen Stütz- oder Befestigungselementen für die verschiedenen Fahrzeugteile vorgesehen, wobei diese Öffnungen 16 so verteilt sind, daß den Anforderungen der verschiedenen Fahrzeugtypen entsprochen werden kann.The base 5 of the side part 1 has punched-out portions 14, from which claws or tabs 15 are bent, which engage in the mesh 2 of the cooler and thus improve the attachment of the side part 1 to the mesh 2. On the other hand, different openings 16 are provided for the attachment of different support or fastening elements for the different vehicle parts, these openings 16 being distributed in such a way that the requirements of the different vehicle types can be met.

Die Seitenteile 1 werden wie folgt am Fahrzeugkühler angebracht: Ein Seitenteil 1 wird an die entsprechende Seitenfläche des Kühlers angelegt, und sein unteres Ende wird so am Rohrboden 4' des unteren Wasserkastens 4 angesetzt, daß der abgebogene und abgewinkelte Endabschnitt 10 zur Fixierung in die Ausnehmung des Rohrbodens 4'(entsprechend Fig. 6) eingekippt ist. Anschließend wird das Seitenteil so an den Kühler angebaut, daß die Laschen 9 am Rohrboden 3' des oberen Wasserkastens 3 zur Anlage kommen, wonach der Riegel 7 nach oben in die Ausnehmung des Rohrbodens 3' geschoben wird, damit er das Seitenteil gegenüber dem Rohrboden 3' bzw. dem oberen Wasserkasten 3 verriegelt bzw. fixiert. Der Riegel 7 kann dann durch Nieten 17 oder auch durch andere Maßnahmen, z.B. Verstemmen, gegenüber dem Seitenteil 1 fixiert werden. Für diesen Zweck der Vernietung sind im Riegel 7 und in der Basis 5 des Seitenteils 1 Öffnungen 18 vorgesehen. In der letzten Phase des Zusammenbaus werden die Klauen 15 in die Seitenflächen des Kühlernetzes 2, d.h. in die Rippen hineingedrückt, so daß eine Verkrallung und gleichzeitige Fixierung zwischen Seitenteil 1 und Kühlernetz 2 hergestellt wird.The side parts 1 are attached to the vehicle radiator as follows: A side part 1 is placed on the corresponding side surface of the radiator, and its lower end is attached to the tube sheet 4 'of the lower water tank 4 in such a way that the bent and angled end section 10 is fixed in the recess of the tube sheet 4 '(corresponding to Fig. 6) is tilted. Then the side part is attached to the cooler in such a way that the tabs 9 come to rest on the tube sheet 3 'of the upper water tank 3, after which the bolt 7 is pushed upward into the recess in the tube sheet 3', so that the side piece is opposite the tube sheet 3 'or the upper water box 3 locked or fixed. The bolt 7 can then by rivets 17 or other measures, e.g. Caulk, be fixed against the side part 1. For this purpose of riveting 1 openings 18 are provided in the bolt 7 and in the base 5 of the side part. In the final phase of assembly, the claws 15 are inserted into the side surfaces of the radiator network 2, i.e. pressed into the ribs, so that a claw and simultaneous fixation between side part 1 and radiator net 2 is produced.

Wenn die beiden Seitenteile 1 dermaßen am Kühler angebracht worden sind, kann der Kühler fest in das entsprechende Fahrzeug eingebaut werden. Dabei werden bei jedem Fahrzeugmodell die entsprechenden (passenden) Öffnungen 16 verwendet, um die jeweils geeigneten Stützelemente zur Halterung von Leitungen und Zubehörteilen anzubringen.If the two side parts 1 have been attached to the radiator in this way, the radiator can be permanently installed in the corresponding vehicle. In this case, the corresponding (suitable) openings 16 are used in each vehicle model in order to attach the respectively suitable support elements for holding lines and accessories.
