Definitions

  • Cooling module for an engine of a motor vehicle
  • the invention relates to a cooling module for an engine of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cooler for a cooling water circuit of a motor vehicle engine is known from DE 195 34 108 A1, the cooling water circuit being driven by an electric motor centrifugal pump which is arranged wholly or partly within the cooler or directly against the cooler.
  • a cooling arrangement with a heat exchanger module, a blower module, a cooling pump module and an electronic system control module is known from W097 / 23713, the individual modules being connected to one another.
  • the blower module is located directly behind the rear of the cooler and includes an electrically driven fan that guides ambient air over the cooler.
  • the cooling pump module, which pumps engine cooling water through the engine and the radiator, and the electronic system control module, which controls the operation of the fan and the pump engine, are also attached to the blower module.
  • a cooling module i.e. a cooling arrangement is provided for an engine of a motor vehicle, a module frame being part of the cooling module, within and / or on which the coolant pump is arranged.
  • other components are also attached to the module frame, such as heat exchangers, coolant circuit lines, sensors, valves, and control modules.
  • the compact, modular structure enables quicker assembly or disassembly when servicing. It is also not necessary to reinforce other components of the cooling module, rather the module frame is dimensioned accordingly.
  • the module frame is preferably a supporting component of the cooling module. The power is transmitted directly to the vehicle body via the module frame.
  • the cooling module preferably has a valve which is connected to the coolant pump as a structural unit. This enables a compact design and simplifies and speeds up assembly.
  • the valve regulates the coolant throughput via the heat exchanger depending on the coolant temperature.
  • the cooling module preferably has a sensor for regulating the coolant temperature, the sensor being integrated in the cooling module and monitoring the temperature of the coolant circuit.
  • the sensor can be attached to a valve or integrated into the same.
  • the sensor can be arranged in a line between the valve and the coolant pump, provided on the coolant pump or integrated in the same, or arranged in a line between the coolant pump and the internal combustion engine.
  • the cooling module preferably has a control module for controlling the
  • Coolant pump the valve position and / or the fan.
  • the control module is preferably via an interface with an external one Sieuermodul, ie connected to a control module outside the module frame.
  • connection of the coolant pump is preferably arranged approximately in the middle on one side of the module frame. This enables optimal power transmission and power transmission in the module frame.
  • the arrangement of the coolant pump can also be off-center, above or below the cooling module. The choice of arrangement of the coolant pump depends in particular on the installation space situation.
  • the coolant pump and / or the valve is preferably aligned parallel to the region of the module frame in which it is attached. In this way, optimal attachment and power transmission to the module frame is possible.
  • a connection is preferably provided for the part of the coolant circuit that flows parallel to the part of the coolant circuit flowing through the heat exchanger and is oriented in the axial direction of the coolant pump. This enables an optimal flow to the coolant pump.
  • a flexible connection is preferably arranged between the outlet of the heat exchanger and the inlet of the coolant pump, for example in the form of an elastic hose. This simplifies assembly and reduces tolerance problems.
  • the coolant pump is preferably arranged on the module frame such that the cooling air can flow around the electronics of the coolant pump and thus cool it.
  • the cooling air supply to the coolant pump electronics can preferably take place by branching the cooling air from the fan frame, by branching the cooling air behind the fan frame or by guiding the cooling air from the upstream side of the cooling module through an opening or air duct in the module frame to the coolant pump.
  • the module frame and a fan frame preferably form a structural unit.
  • a bypass is preferably formed in the cooling module. This reduces the number of connections to the cooling module.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified view of the first exemplary embodiment of a cooling module according to the invention without an integrated bypass
  • FIG. 2 shows a simplified view of the second exemplary embodiment of a cooling module according to the invention with an integrated bypass
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of the cooling module including the cooling water circuit according to the first exemplary embodiment
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of the cooling module including the cooling water circuit according to the second embodiment.
  • An internal combustion engine 1 of a motor vehicle has a cooling module 2, which is arranged essentially in and / or on a module frame 3.
  • Part of the cooling module 2 is at least one heat exchanger 4 (cooler), which is provided in the module frame 3 and fastened thereon, with two collecting containers 5, one of which serves as a collector flow and the other as a collector return.
  • the heat exchanger 4 together with the collecting containers 5 is part of an engine coolant circuit 6, through which a coolant, driven by an electric coolant pump 8, flows.
  • a valve 9 is provided in the coolant circuit 6, downstream of the heat exchanger 4 with the collecting container 5. which is connected via a connection 10 to one of the collecting containers 5 of the heat exchanger-4.
  • a second connection 10 ′ for a bypass 18 is provided for the valve 9, by means of which the coolant can pass the heat exchanger 4 and be fed directly to the coolant pump 8.
  • the bypass 18 can also be integrated in the cooling module or in the module frame. This measure allows the number of connections on the cooling module to be reduced.
  • the valve 9 can be arranged downstream of the heat exchanger 4, that is to say attached to its outlet side, as shown in the figures, or, according to an alternative embodiment, on its inlet side.
  • the same also applies to the coolant pump 8.
  • This can be located after the outlet of the heat exchanger 4 (suction side - see FIGS. 3 and 4), or it can be arranged according to an alternative arrangement before the inlet of the heat exchanger 4 (pressure side).
  • connection 10 ′ is arranged in the axial direction with respect to the coolant pump 8.
  • the valve 9 is regulated as a function of the measurement results of a sensor 11 with the aid of a control module 12, the control module 12 in turn being connected to an external control module 14.
  • the control module 12 also regulates the coolant pump 8 and a blower 16 with a fan wheel, which is arranged adjacent to the heat exchanger 4.
  • the blower 16 is attached to blower frames 17 which are arranged inside the module frame 3.
  • valve 9 can also be a controller that is dependent only on the coolant temperature and not on the control module 12, for example an expansion thermostat.
  • the control module 12 then regulates only the coolant pump 8 and the blower 16.
  • the coolant pump is about 8 centrally placed directly on the module frame 3 adjacent the same on one side reasonable, wherein the module frame 3 is the supporting component of the cooling module 2 and the power transmission takes place directly via the module frame 3 to the vehicle body (not shown).
  • the coolant pump can also be arranged off-center and above or below the cooling module.
  • pre-assembly in which components of the cooling module 2 connected to the module frame 3 are fastened to the module frame 3.
  • the preassembled cooling module 2 is only inserted into the vehicle body and fastened in the course of the actual assembly.
  • the bypass 18 is designed to be integrated. Otherwise, the second embodiment corresponds to the previously described first embodiment.
  • Combustion engine cooling module, module frame, heat exchanger, collecting container, coolant circuit, coolant pump, valve, 10 'connection, sensor control module, external control module, blower, blower frame, bypass
