[Problem to be solved by the invention 1] By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional air conditioner device,
When using the air conditioner, the engine negative force due to the compressor increases. Additionally, the addition of a condenser may affect the cooling capacity of the radiator, leading to a tendency for the temperature of the engine coolant to rise. Therefore, it has been considered to increase the radiator capacity in order to prevent overheating, but this poses problems such as limitations in the vehicle mounting space and an increase in cost. Therefore, there is a need for a measure to effectively lower the engine cooling water temperature only when the air conditioner is in use. As a cooling device that utilizes the refrigerant that has passed through the evaporator of an air conditioner, for example, there is a prior art disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-37011. Here, it has been shown that storing low-temperature refrigerant in an accumulator and bringing it into contact with fuel and torque converter oil piping improves the cooling effect, but this does not address the drop in engine cooling water temperature. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cooling device for a vehicle that uses a low-temperature refrigerant when the air conditioner is used to effectively lower the engine cooling water temperature when the air conditioner is used. It is an object. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a heat exchanger inside the tank of the radiator of the engine cooling system, and
A branch line passing through the heat exchanger is installed in the low-temperature refrigerant line after passing through the evaporator of the air conditioner, and when the coolant temperature exceeds the set value when the air conditioner is in use, the low-temperature refrigerant is guided to the heat exchanger and connected to the coolant. is configured to exchange heat.

Based on the above configuration, when the cooling water temperature increases when the air conditioner is used, low-temperature refrigerant is introduced into the heat exchanger inside the radiator tank to lower the cooling*temperature. Thus, in the present invention, when the air conditioner is used, the cooling capacity of the radiator is increased by using the low-temperature refrigerant, and the engine cooling water temperature can be effectively lowered. L Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an engine cooling system, in which an inlet hose 3 from the engine 2 communicates with an upper tank 4a of a radiator 4, an outlet hose 5 from a lower tank 4b communicates with the engine 2, and a cooling water circulation path is established. I will do it. Further, reference numeral 1o indicates an air conditioner device, in which a compressor 11 is connected to an engine 2 and a belt drive device 12. ff
i Connect via magnetic clutch 13. Then, the discharge side of the compressor 11 is connected to the condenser 15 by the vibrator 14.
The liquid tank 16° reaches the suction side of the compressor 11 via the expansion valve 1γ and the evaporator 18, forming a refrigerant circulation path. Such an air conditioner device 10 engages the clutch 13 when the air conditioner switch 19 is turned on and drives the compressor 11 with engine power, thereby circulating refrigerant and performing a cooling effect. Therefore, a heat exchanger 20 is added inside the upper tank 4a of the radiator 4. Further, a vibrator 141) is branched from the vibrator 14a from the evaporator 18, and this vibrator 14b constitutes a branch line passing through the heat exchanger 20, and a solenoid valve 21 is installed downstream of the branch point of each vibrator 14a, 14b. .22 is provided. Further, a thermoswitch 23 for detecting cooling water temperature is provided in the lower tank 4b of the radiator 4, and signals from each switch 19 and 23 are input to the control unit 24, and this output signal is used to control the solenoid valve 21.
Close 22 j1. Regardless of whether the air conditioner switch 19 is on or off, the control unit 24 opens the solenoid valve 21 and closes the solenoid valve 22 when the coolant temperature is below the set coolant temperature, and conversely opens the solenoid valve 21 when the thermo switch 23 is turned on when the coolant temperature is above the set coolant temperature. is configured to close and open the solenoid valve 22. Next, the operation of the cooling device configured as described above will be described. First, when the cooling water temperature becomes high during engine operation, the cooling water is circulated through the radiator 4 by the hose 3.5 and cooled. At this time, if the air conditioner switch 19 is off, the compressor 11 is stopped and the air conditioner 10 is in a non-operating state. On the other hand, when the switch 19 is turned on when using the air conditioner, the electromagnetic clutch 13 is engaged and the compressor 11 is driven by the engine power to compress the refrigerant at a high temperature. This refrigerant enters the condenser 15 and is liquefied by air cooling.
G. When entering the evaporator 18 via the expansion valve 17, the air expands and vaporizes, and at this time removes heat from the interior of the vehicle to cool it. Then, this low-temperature vaporized refrigerant enters the compressor 11 and is compressed again, and this operation is repeated to continue the cooling effect. At this time, the cooling water temperature is detected by the thermo switch 23, and when the cold fJI water temperature reaches the set value due to an increase in engine load and the thermo switch 23 is turned on, the control unit 24 closes the solenoid valve 21 and closes the 7I2 solenoid valve. 22
open. Therefore, for example, after passing through the evaporator 18 -
A refrigerant at a low temperature of 10 to -20° C. is introduced into the heat exchanger 20 by a vibrator 14b and exchanges heat with the cooling water. Therefore, the high-temperature cooling water that has flowed into the radiator 4 is cooled by the low-temperature refrigerant to a level higher than the capacity of the radiator 4, resulting in a drop in temperature.In this way, the cooling water temperature is suppressed to below the set value of the thermoswitch 23. This prevents the engine from overheating. It goes without saying that the refrigerant that has passed through the heat exchanger 20 flows into the combiner 'IJ11' to continue its cooling action.
