Description

The invention relates to a radiator arrangement for a motor vehicle.

Cooler arrangements regularly include components that ensure heat exchange between the environment of the cooler arrangement and a fluid flowing through the respective component. Examples of known components are condensers, e.g. for an air conditioning system, and heat exchangers. In condensers, a phase transition of the fluid flowing through the component can occur compared to heat exchangers.

A heat exchanger can comprise a first collecting box and a second collecting box as well as at least a plurality of pipes for guiding a fluid flowing through this component, each of which extends from the first collecting box to the second collecting box, e.g. along a y-axis. The pipes between the collecting boxes can be arranged at a distance from one another in the z-axis such that a gaseous medium, e.g. ambient air, can flow over them along an x-axis, e.g. against the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. A heat exchange takes place between the fluid guided through the pipes and the medium flowing over the pipes along the x-axis.

In particular, such cooler arrangements have a fan shroud and are preferably arranged in a front section of a motor vehicle, wherein a heat exchanger is installed in the direction of travel, e.g. in front of a drive unit of the motor vehicle and in front of the fan shroud.

From the EN 10 2004 058 724 A1 A cooling module for a vehicle is known. The cooling module comprises a heat exchanger and a fan. The heat exchanger is attached to an upper frame and a lower frame.

The EN 10 2014 201 991 A1 is directed to a cooling device for a motor vehicle. The cooling device comprises at least two cooling elements which are connected to one another via plug connections. To assemble the cooling elements, one cooling element is arranged on a loose bearing side and then pivoted about a rotation axis arranged on the loose bearing side towards the other cooling element, so that a plug connection engages on the fixed bearing side.

From the DE 20 2009 011 439 U1 An arrangement for fastening a first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger is known. To fasten the heat exchangers to one another, elongated profile elements are provided to which each of the heat exchangers is fastened.

The EN 10 2004 051 207 A1 discloses a radiator arrangement with mounting strips.

The US 2019/ 0 255 935 A1 discloses a cooler arrangement and air guiding elements.

The JP 2002-139 294 A shows a cooler arrangement with a pivoting arrangement of components.

There is a constant need to make cooler arrangements as simple and as low-complexity as possible, while also making the assembly of a cooler arrangement as easy as possible.

The object of the present invention is to at least partially solve the problems mentioned with reference to the prior art. In particular, the complexity of a cooler arrangement is to be reduced, and preferably the assembly of the cooler arrangement should also be as simple as possible.

A cooler arrangement with the features according to claim 1 contributes to the solution of these tasks. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the dependent claims. The features listed individually in the claims can be combined with one another in a technologically meaningful way and can be supplemented by explanatory facts from the description and/or details from the figures, whereby further embodiments of the invention are shown.

A cooler arrangement for a motor vehicle is proposed. The cooler arrangement comprises at least a first component, a second component and a third component, each of which is designed as one of a condenser and a heat exchanger. The first component has at least one first receptacle for fastening the second component to the first component, at least one second receptacle for fastening the third component to the first component and at least one bearing element for fastening the first component to the motor vehicle. The second component is arranged between the third component and the first component.

In particular, a heat exchange between an environment of the cooler arrangement and a fluid flowing through the respective component is possible via each of the components. In particular, each of the components has at least one Inlet, an outlet and at least one flow channel for the respective fluid connecting the inlet to the outlet. In particular, a gaseous medium can flow through each of the components, so that a heat exchange between the at least one flow channel for the respective fluid and the medium is possible. In particular, the components are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that the gaseous medium flows through the components one after the other along a flow direction.

In particular, the third component is a condenser. In particular, the first component and the second component are each heat exchangers.

In particular, the at least one bearing element is provided for fastening the first component to the motor vehicle. In particular, several bearing elements are provided via which the first component is fastened to the motor vehicle. In particular, the cooler arrangement is arranged in a stationary manner in the motor vehicle exclusively via the first component. In particular, the stationary arrangement of the cooler arrangement is ensured exclusively via the at least one bearing element.

Stationary means in particular that a geometrically fixed position, i.e. a correct positioning, of the component concerned in the higher-level assembly or in the motor vehicle is ensured. Stationary means in particular that movement of the component concerned relative to a higher-level assembly or the motor vehicle is not possible, i.e. neither rotation nor translational movement.

The proposed radiator arrangement comprises a combination of various functions on the first component. It is known in particular to provide a frame for fastening a radiator arrangement to the motor vehicle. For this purpose, the frame usually has receptacles for fastening the components to the frame and bearing elements for fastening the frame to the motor vehicle. At least these functions of the receptacles and bearing elements are now implemented by the first component.

In particular, the cooler arrangement has at least one first cover element, via which at least the second component is fixedly connected to the first component.

In particular, the cooler arrangement has at least one second cover element, via which at least the second component is fixedly connected to the first component. The first cover element and the second cover element are arranged at a distance from one another.

In particular, the at least one cover element extends only along one side of the radiator arrangement, in particular along a y-axis, which preferably runs transversely to a longitudinal axis and a yaw axis of the motor vehicle.

This means that no surrounding frame is formed over the cover elements.

The at least one cover element is in particular exclusively fastened to the radiator arrangement and does not itself enable a fixed fastening of the radiator arrangement to the motor vehicle.

In particular, at least one cover element has a sealing element for fluidically sealing an intermediate space between the first component and the second component from an environment of the cooler arrangement.

A sealing element can be formed in particular by an elastically deformable membrane, through which an at least partial sealing of the intermediate space is achieved. In particular, the flow path for the gaseous medium can be limited in such a way that as much of the volume flow of the medium flowing through the first component or second component as possible is also guided through the other of the first component and the second component. In particular, this makes it possible to achieve the most efficient possible heat exchange at the components.

In particular, the cooler arrangement is arranged in a coordinate system with an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, wherein the components extend in a y-z plane, which is thus spanned by the y-axis and the z-axis.

In particular, the second component is arranged to be rotatable about the z-axis in one of a plurality of first receptacles during an assembly process, wherein the second component is arranged in a fixed and captive manner on the first component by the arrangement of at least one cover element.

In particular, the z-axis runs parallel to a yaw axis of the motor vehicle, while the x-axis runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle.

The extension of the components is essentially determined by the position of a cross-sectional area of the respective component intended for the heat exchange between fluid and medium, which extends in particular in the yZ plane and can be flowed through by the medium along the x-axis.

In particular, all components are arranged essentially parallel to one another. In particular, the cross-sectional areas of the individual components intended for heat exchange are arranged essentially flush with one another along the x-axis.

In particular, the second component can be arranged in one of a plurality of first receptacles so as to be rotatable about the z-axis. The second component can be arranged at an angle to the first component and, after being arranged in the first receptacle, can be rotated by this angle and about the z-axis towards the first component. In particular, the second component is then fixed in place in at least four, preferably five of the six possible degrees of freedom, three translational degrees of freedom and three rotational degrees of freedom.

The fifth and/or sixth degree of freedom of the second component is determined by the at least one cover element which connects the first component and the second component to one another.

In particular, at least one cover element is attached to at least one of the first component and the second component exclusively via at least one stop and at least one snap hook. In particular, the connection between the first component and the second component is established via the at least one snap hook and the at least one stop.

The statements regarding one cover element apply equally to the other and preferably to both cover elements.

In particular, at least the first component and the second component extend in planes that are parallel to one another and a gaseous medium can flow over them transversely to the planes in a first cross-sectional area of the first component and in a second cross-sectional area of the second component for heat exchange. An intermediate space defined by the cross-sectional areas between the first component and the second component is fluidically sealed from the surroundings of the cooler arrangement by at least one sealing element. The at least one sealing element is arranged on the first component.

In particular, all components are arranged essentially parallel to one another. In particular, the cross-sectional areas of the individual components intended for heat exchange are arranged essentially flush with one another along the x-axis and each extend in a y-z plane.

The above statements regarding the sealing element arranged on the cover element apply equally here. In particular, the at least one sealing element on the at least one cover element can be used or provided in addition to the at least one sealing element on the first component for the fluidic sealing of the intermediate space.

In particular, the first component has at least one third receptacle for fastening a fourth component to the first component, wherein the first component is arranged between the second component and the fourth component.

In particular, the fourth component is a fan frame. In particular, the cooler arrangement comprises, along the intended flow direction of a medium, first the third component and then, in succession, the second component, the first component and the fourth component.

1. a) Bereitstellen der ersten Komponente; dann
2. b) Anordnen der zweiten Komponente an der ersten Komponente und Befestigen der zweiten Komponente an der mindestens einen ersten Aufnahme;
3. c) Anordnen der dritten Komponente an dem Zusammenbau zumindest von erster Komponente und zweiter Komponente und Befestigen der dritten Komponente an der mindestens einen zweiten Aufnahme.

A method for assembling the described cooler arrangement is proposed. The method comprises at least the following steps:

1. a) Providing the first component; then
2. b) arranging the second component on the first component and securing the second component to the at least one first receptacle;
3. c) arranging the third component on the assembly of at least the first component and the second component and fastening the third component to the at least one second receptacle.

In particular, at least after step b), if necessary after step c), at least one cover element is provided and arranged on the assembly of at least the first component and the second component, if necessary additionally comprising the third component. Via the at least one cover element ment, at least the second component is fixedly connected to the first component.

A fourth component may be arranged on the first component after each of steps a), b) and c).

In particular, steps a) to c) are carried out in the order given. Between steps a) and b) and b) and c), further steps can be carried out, e.g. fastening the fourth component to the first component. Between steps b) and c) or after step c), e.g. at least one cover element can be fastened to the assembly of at least the first component and the second component.

The use of indefinite articles ("a", "an", "an" and "another"), particularly in the patent claims and the description reflecting them, is to be understood as such and not as a number. Terms or components introduced accordingly are therefore to be understood as being present at least once and, in particular, can also be present multiple times.

The statements regarding the cooler arrangement are particularly transferable to the method and vice versa.

As a precaution, it should be noted that the numerals used here ("first", "second", ...) primarily serve (only) to distinguish between several similar objects, sizes or processes, and in particular do not necessarily specify a dependency and/or sequence of these objects, sizes or processes. If a dependency and/or sequence is required, this is explicitly stated here or it is obvious to the person skilled in the art when studying the specifically described design. If a component can occur multiple times ("at least one"), the description of one of these components can apply equally to all or part of the majority of these components, but this is not mandatory.

The cooler arrangement 1 comprises a heat exchanger as the first component 3, a heat exchanger as the second component 4, a condenser as the third component 5 and a fan shroud as the fourth component 21. A frame 22 is provided for fastening the cooler arrangement 1 to one another and to the motor vehicle 2. For this purpose, the frame 22 and the individual components 3, 4, 5 have receptacles 6, 7, 20 for fastening the components 3, 4, 5, 21 to the frame 22 and adjacent components. The frame 22 also has bearing elements 8 for fastening the frame 22 to the motor vehicle 2.

3 shows a cooler arrangement 1 in a perspective view, in an exploded view. 4 shows the cooler arrangement 1 after 3 in a perspective view. The 3 and 4 are described together below. Please refer to the comments on 1 and 2 reference is made.

The cooler arrangement 1 comprises a first component 3, a second component 4 and a third component 5, each of which is designed as one of a condenser and a heat exchanger. The first component 3, a heat exchanger, has a plurality of first receptacles 6 for fastening the second component 4, a heat exchanger, to the first component 3, a plurality of second receptacles 7 for fastening the third component 5, a condenser, to the first component 3 and a plurality of bearing elements 8 for fastening the first component 3 to the motor vehicle 2. The second component 4 is arranged between the third component 5 and the first component 3.

The cooler arrangement 1 is arranged in a stationary manner in the motor vehicle 2 exclusively via the first component 3. The stationary arrangement of the cooler arrangement 1 is ensured exclusively via the bearing elements 8.

The proposed cooler arrangement 1 comprises a summary of various functions on the first component 3. At least the functions of the receptacles 6, 7, 20 and bearing elements 8 are now realized by the first component 3.

The cooler arrangement 1 has a first cover element 9, via which the second component 4 is fixedly connected to the first component 3. The cooler arrangement 1 has a second cover element 10, via which the second component 4 is fixedly connected to the first component 3. The first cover element 9 and the second cover element 10 are arranged at a distance from one another.

The cover elements 9, 10 each extend only along one side of the cooler assembly 1 along a y-axis 14. This means that no circumferential frame 22 is formed over the cover elements 9, 10, see 2 , educated.

The cover elements 9, 10 are exclusively attached to the radiator arrangement 1 and do not themselves allow a fixed attachment of the radiator arrangement 1 to the motor vehicle 2.

The cooler arrangement 1 is arranged in a coordinate system with an x-axis 13, a y-axis 14 and a z-axis 15, wherein the components 3, 4, 5, 21 extend in a y-z plane, which is therefore spanned by the y-axis 14 and the z-axis 15.

The extension of the components 3, 4, 5, 21 is essentially determined by the position of a cross-sectional area 18, 19 of the respective component 3, 4 intended for the heat exchange between fluid and medium, which extends in the y-z plane and can be flowed through by the medium along the x-axis 13.

All components 3, 4, 5, 21 are arranged essentially parallel to one another. The cross-sectional areas 18, 19 of the individual components 3, 4 intended for heat exchange are arranged essentially flush with one another along the x-axis 13.

A gap 12 defined by the cross-sectional areas 18, 19 between the first component 3 and the second component 4 can be sealed by a sealing element 11, see 20 , be fluidically sealed against an environment 25 of the cooler arrangement 1.

The first component 3 has several third receptacles 20 for fastening a fourth component 21 to the first component 3, wherein the first component 3 is arranged between the second component 4 and the fourth component 21. The fourth component 21 is a fan frame. The cooler arrangement 1 comprises, along the intended flow direction of a medium, i.e. along the x-axis 13, first the third component 5 and then, one after the other, the second component 4, the first component 3 and the fourth component 21.

The first component 3 is arranged in the first receptacle 6 in a way that is at least partially stationary with respect to the x-direction 13 and with respect to the z-direction 15. After being arranged in the first receptacle 6, the second component 4 can be rotated by this angle and around the z-axis 15 towards the first component 3, see 8th .

8th shows the rotation of the second component 4 about the z-axis 15, wherein the axis of rotation 26 runs through the first receptacle 6, during step b) of the method and after 7 , in a perspective view. The second component 4 is then fixed in place after the rotation in five of the six possible degrees of freedom, three translational degrees of freedom and three rotational degrees of freedom, see also 17 .

The cover element 9 has a sealing element 11 for the fluidic sealing of an intermediate space 12 between the first component 3 and the second component 4 from an environment 25 of the cooler arrangement 1. The sealing element 11 is formed by an elastically deformable membrane, through which an at least partial sealing of the intermediate space 12 is realized. This allows the flow path for the gaseous medium to be limited in such a way that as much of the volume flow of the medium flowing through the first component 3 or second component 4 is also guided through the other of the first component 3 and the second component 4. This enables the most efficient possible heat exchange at the components 3, 4 to be realized.
