Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting two heat exchangers for motor vehicles, consisting of lower supports on the header of the first heat exchanger, in which the lower struts of the second heat exchanger engage and upper spring clips, one leg of which the upper struts of the second heat exchanger after pressing the second Extends heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger in order to hold both heat exchangers elastically together.
  • the device is known from DE 198 57 508 A1, from which the following invention is based.
  • the advantage of the known device is that the assembly and disassembly of the heat exchangers can be carried out easily and quickly, namely by inserting the lower struts of the second heat exchanger into the lower supports of the first heat exchanger and pressing the upper struts of the second heat exchanger until they snap into the upper spring clip.
  • the spring clip used in the known document is a part to be produced specifically for this purpose, which is supported with its one leg in a sleeve formed on the header of one heat exchanger and with the other leg a vertical force on the upper and lower struts of the other heat exchanger, or exercises on the cooling network of this heat exchanger itself.
  • the cooling network of the heat exchangers consisting of relatively thin-walled flat tubes and corrugated fins, is therefore subject to a certain amount of tension, which is disadvantageous.
  • Further documents in which spring clips are used as fastening elements for heat exchangers are DE -OS- 2018459, EP 0 046 566 B1, DE - AS 25 57 967, DE 3814007 C1, DE 198 57 512 A1 and DE 198 57 494 A1.
  • the large number of publications makes it clear that spring clips are quite widespread as fastening elements for heat exchangers.
  • the object of the invention is to design the device so that vertical clamping forces on the cooling network can be avoided without the simple assembly and disassembly being significantly impaired.
  • the lower supports on the header of the first heat exchanger hold the lower struts attached to the header of the second heat exchanger in their longitudinal direction under a torsional stress in the elastic range and the upper struts attached to the header of the second heat exchanger and those on the header of the first heat exchanger attached holder each surrounded by two legs of the spring clip and held together so that they maintain the torsional stress in the struts.
  • Vertical bracing forces on the cooling network of the heat exchangers are avoided because the bracing forces are absorbed by the struts under torsional tension and by the spring clips, the spring force of which maintains the torsional tension in the struts.
  • the second heat exchanger with its lower struts is first inserted into the lower U-shaped supports, the second heat exchanger being slightly inclined to the first heat exchanger. Then the second heat exchanger is pressed against the first heat exchanger at the top, as a result of which both heat exchangers are approximately parallel to one another and the upper struts rest on the holders, in order then to be embraced by means of the spring clips.
  • the lower struts experience a torsional tension which is maintained by the connection of the upper struts and holder by means of the spring clips.
