Description

本発明は、自動車や建設機械等において所定箇所にラジエータを取り付けるためのラジエータの取付構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a radiator mounting structure for mounting a radiator at a predetermined location in an automobile, a construction machine or the like.

従来、自動車、建設機械等には、エンジンから発生する熱を最適な状態に制御するために、ラジエータが設けられている。 Conventionally, automobiles, construction machines, and the like have been provided with a radiator in order to control the heat generated from the engine to an optimum state.

この種のラジエータには、図２に示すように、長手方向に沿って分割された２つ部材１，２によりタンク３が構成されているものがあり、この場合、各部材１，２同士は接合部４，５をクリップ６で挟持することにより、互いに固定されるようになっている。また、このタンク３の前面側には、ボス７が取り付けられており、ボス７にボルト（図示せず）等を螺合することにより、前記ラジエータが所定箇所に固定されるようになっている。（公知・公用の従来技術に基づき発明したため、本発明に関連する先行技術文献を出願人は知らない）。 In this type of radiator, as shown in FIG. 2, there is one in which a tank 3 is constituted by two members 1 and 2 divided along the longitudinal direction. The joints 4 and 5 are clamped by the clip 6 so as to be fixed to each other. Further, a boss 7 is attached to the front side of the tank 3, and the radiator is fixed at a predetermined position by screwing a bolt (not shown) or the like to the boss 7. . (Because it was invented based on known and publicly known prior art, the applicant does not know prior art documents related to the present invention).

しかしながら、上記した従来のラジエータの取付構造では、クリップ６やボス７等がそれぞれ別々に必要となるため、部品点数及び工数が増加し、製造に手間が掛かり、製造コストの低減化が図り難いといった問題があった。 However, in the above-described conventional radiator mounting structure, the clip 6 and the boss 7 and the like are required separately, which increases the number of parts and the number of man-hours, making it difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost. There was a problem.

本発明は、上記課題を解決すべくなされたものであり、部品点数及び工数を削減し、製造作業の簡素化、及び製造コストの低減化を図ることのできるラジエータの取付構造を提供しようとするものである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and aims to provide a radiator mounting structure capable of reducing the number of parts and man-hours, simplifying the manufacturing work, and reducing the manufacturing cost. Is.

本発明は、コアの端部にタンクが設けられ、該タンクに取付部が設けられて構成されたラジエータの取付構造であって、前記タンクは長手方向に沿って分割された複数の部材により構成されており、該各部材同士を固定する固定具に前記取付部が一体に設けられていることを特徴とする。 The present invention is a radiator mounting structure in which a tank is provided at an end of a core and a mounting portion is provided in the tank, and the tank is configured by a plurality of members divided along a longitudinal direction. The mounting portion is integrally provided on a fixture that fixes the members to each other.

そして、好ましくは、前記タンクは長手方向に沿って分割された第１部材と第２部材により構成されており、該第１部材及び第２部材にはフランジ状に接合部が形成され、前記第１部材と第２部材とは前記接合部を挟持可能な固定具を介して互いに固定され、前記取付部はブラケットを介して前記固定具と一体に設けられているのがよい。 Preferably, the tank is composed of a first member and a second member divided along a longitudinal direction, and the first member and the second member are formed with a flange-like joint portion, The one member and the second member may be fixed to each other via a fixture capable of sandwiching the joint portion, and the attachment portion may be provided integrally with the fixture via a bracket.

本発明によれば、タンクを構成する部材同士を固定する固定具にラジエータの取付部が一体に設けられているため、部品点数及び工数を削減することができ、製造作業の簡素化、及び製造コストの低減化が可能となる等、種々の優れた効果を得ることができる。 According to the present invention, since the attachment portion of the radiator is integrally provided on the fixture for fixing the members constituting the tank, the number of parts and the man-hour can be reduced, the manufacturing operation is simplified, and the manufacturing is performed. Various excellent effects can be obtained, such as reduction in cost.

以下、図１を参照しつつ、本発明の実施の形態に係るラジエータの取付構造について説明する。ここで、図１は本実施の形態に係るラジエータの取付構造を示す分解斜視図である。 Hereinafter, a radiator mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a radiator mounting structure according to the present embodiment.

本実施の形態におけるラジエータはアルミニウム製であり、多数並設されたチューブと該各チューブの周りに設けられたフィンとから成るコア（いずれも図示せず）と、該コアの端部に設けられるタンク１１とから概略構成されている。 The radiator in the present embodiment is made of aluminum, and is provided at a core (not shown) including a large number of juxtaposed tubes and fins provided around each tube, and at the end of the core. The tank 11 is schematically configured.

タンク１１は、細長形状を成しており、長手方向に沿って分割された第１部材１２と第２部材１３とから構成されている。第１部材１２は、段状に折曲された形状を成しており、その一周縁部にはフランジ状を成す接合部１４が形成されている。一方、第２部材１３は板状を成しており、その一周縁部には、接合部１４に対応した位置に接合部１５が形成されている。 The tank 11 has an elongated shape, and includes a first member 12 and a second member 13 that are divided along the longitudinal direction. The first member 12 has a shape bent in a step shape, and a joint portion 14 having a flange shape is formed at one peripheral edge portion thereof. On the other hand, the 2nd member 13 has comprised plate shape, and the junction part 15 is formed in the position corresponding to the junction part 14 in the one peripheral part.

第１部材１２と第２部材１３とはクリップ状の固定具１６を介して互いに固定されるようになっており、固定具１６は第１部材１２の接合部１４と第２部材１３の接合部１５とを合致させた状態で挟持可能なようにコの字状に形成されている。また、固定具１６には、第１部材１２の折曲形状に沿って曲成されたブラケット１７を介して取付部１８が一体に設けられており、取付部１８は第１部材１２の前面側において前方に突出するように形成されている。 The first member 12 and the second member 13 are fixed to each other via a clip-shaped fixture 16, and the fixture 16 is a joint portion 14 of the first member 12 and a joint portion of the second member 13. 15 is formed in a U-shape so that it can be clamped in a state where it is matched with 15. The fixture 16 is integrally provided with a mounting portion 18 via a bracket 17 bent along the bent shape of the first member 12. The mounting portion 18 is provided on the front side of the first member 12. It is formed so as to protrude forward.

このように上記した実施の形態に係るラジエータの取付構造によれば、固定具１６により第１部材１２の接合部１４と第２部材１３の接合部１５とを挟持することにより、取付部１８が所定位置にセットされるようになるため、部品点数及び工数を削減することができ、製造作業の簡素化、及び製造コストの低減化が可能となる。 Thus, according to the attachment structure of the radiator according to the above-described embodiment, the attachment portion 18 is formed by holding the joint portion 14 of the first member 12 and the joint portion 15 of the second member 13 by the fixture 16. Since it is set at a predetermined position, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and man-hours, simplify the manufacturing work, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

なお、上記した実施の形態における固定具１６、ブラケット１７、及び取付具１８の形状、構造及び設置位置は、単なる例示に過ぎず、各種変更が可能である。 Note that the shapes, structures, and installation positions of the fixture 16, the bracket 17, and the fixture 18 in the above-described embodiment are merely examples, and various changes can be made.
