Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an air-cooling device 100 includes an air-cooling device main body 10 having a long shape and a support plate 20 fixedly provided to the air-cooling device main body 10. The air-cooler body 10 has a first end face 10a and a second end face 10b at both ends of the air-cooler body 10, respectively, and an air outlet face 10c between the first end face 10a and the second end face 10b in the length direction x. Wherein, an air inlet channel 11 and an air outlet channel 12 are also arranged in the air cooler main body 10, and the air inlet channel 11 penetrates through the first end surface 10a and the second end surface 10b along the length direction x; the air outlet channel 12 is communicated with the air inlet channel 11 and penetrates through the air outlet surface 10 c. The support plate 20 is fixedly disposed on the air outlet surface 10 c.

When the cooling of the object to be cooled is required, the air cooler 100 can be utilized. Specifically, a vehicle shock absorber is taken as an example of a member to be cooled.

Referring to fig. 6 in combination, the air cooler 100 is fixedly disposed on an outer surface of the damper 200, and the air outlet surface 10c faces the damper 200. Wherein, the supporting plate 20 is disposed in contact with the outer surface of the damper 200, so that a gap is formed between the air outlet surface 10c and the damper 200 to prevent the air outlet channel 12 from being blocked. A plug (not shown) is disposed on one of the first end surface 10a and the second end surface 10b to plug one end of the air inlet channel 11, and an air inlet device (not shown) is connected to the other of the first end surface 10a and the second end surface 10 b.

Consequently, can be with cooling gas discharge to inlet air channel 11 through hot blast blowpipe apparatus, then flow to air-out passageway 12 to flow out in final follow air-out passageway 12, blow to bumper shock absorber 200's surface, air convection accelerates, takes away the heat of bumper shock absorber 200 fast, realizes the cooling to bumper shock absorber 200.

With the air cooler 100 of the present embodiment, the air outlet surface 10c of the air cooler 100 directly faces the damper 200, and the cooling air can be directly blown to the damper 200 without being blocked by the upper control arm, the lower control arm, the knuckle, and other parts. Therefore, the temperature of the shock absorber 200 can be quickly reduced, the cooling effect is improved, and the data of the shock absorber 200 in the reliability and performance test process are prevented from being influenced.

It should be understood that the use of the air cooler is specifically described above with respect to a vehicle shock absorber as an example. However, the application of the air cooler is not limited to the damper, but may be applied to other structures similar to the damper.

In this embodiment, the air inlet channel 11 penetrates through the first end surface 10a and the second end surface 10b, and therefore a plug needs to be disposed on one of the end surfaces to plug the air inlet channel 11, so that the cooling gas in the air inlet channel 11 can completely flow to the air outlet channel 12. In other modifications, the air inlet channel 11 may extend through only one of the end surfaces, and in this case, no plug is required.

In addition, the air inlet channel 11 may not only extend along the length direction x, but also extend along a direction deviating from the length direction x by a certain angle, and the implementation of the present technical solution is not affected.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, the air cooler body 10 is provided with a plurality of air outlet channels 12. Wherein, two air outlet channels 12 distributed along the circumferential direction of the air inlet channel 11 form an air outlet channel group 12 a. The air outlet channel group 12a is multiple, and the air outlet channel groups 12a are sequentially arranged along the length direction x.

Referring to FIG. 6 in combination, taking the example of the shock absorber 200, the shock absorber 200 is generally in the shape of an elongated cylinder. When the air-cooling unit 100 is fixedly mounted to the damper 200, the length direction x of the air-cooling unit 100 is the axial direction of the damper 200. Through setting up a plurality of air-out passageway group 12a along length direction x, then cooling gas can blow shock absorber 200 in a plurality of positions on the axial direction to can carry out even heat dissipation to shock absorber 200, with further promotion cooling effect.

The length of the air cooler 100 of this embodiment is controlled to be between 100mm and 120mm, the air outlet channel groups 12a have five groups, and the distance between two adjacent air outlet channel groups 12a along the length direction x is controlled to be between 15mm and 24 mm. Specifically, the length of the air cooler 100 is 110mm, and the distance between two adjacent air outlet channel groups 12a is controlled to be 18 mm. On the premise of ensuring that the air cooler 100 has a relatively simple structure and is easy to machine, manufacture and mold, the cooling air in the air cooler 100 can be uniformly blown to the shock absorber 200.

As previously mentioned, shock absorber 200 is generally in the shape of an elongated cylinder. Set up two air-out passageways 12 through circumference, follow the surface flow that two air-out passageway 12 exhaust cooling gas can follow bumper shock absorber 200 both sides respectively, make cooling gas can flow through most surfaces of bumper shock absorber 200, increase heat exchange area to further promote the cooling effect to bumper shock absorber 200.

As shown in fig. 4, the extending directions (i.e. central axes) of the two air outlet channels 12 in the air outlet channel group 12a are located in the same plane, and the included angle α between the two air outlet channels 12 is controlled to be 30 ° -120 °, specifically, the included angle α between the two air outlet channels 12 is 60 °.

In this embodiment, the extending direction of the air outlet channel 12 is perpendicular to the length direction x, so that the air outlet channel 12 can be opposite to the shock absorber 200. That is, the wind speed direction of the cooling gas blown out from the wind outlet channel 12 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the damper 200, thereby further improving the temperature reduction effect.

Wherein, the air outlet channel 12 can be selected as a cylindrical channel, and the cross-sectional diameter of the air outlet channel 12 can be selected from 4 mm-8 mm. So as to avoid the problem that the blowing quantity of the cooling gas is too small and the good cooling effect cannot be achieved due to the too small diameter of the section of the air outlet channel 12; meanwhile, the problem that the blowing speed of the cooling gas is too low due to the fact that the diameter of the cross section of the air outlet channel 12 is too large, and a good cooling effect cannot be achieved is solved.

It should be understood that the air outlet channel group 12a may include not only two air outlet channels 12, but also only one air outlet channel 12, or include more than three air outlet channels 12, without affecting the implementation of the present technical solution. When the air outlet channel group 12a includes three air outlet channels 12 distributed along the circumferential direction, the included angle between two adjacent air outlet channels 12 may be controlled to be 30 ° to 60 °, and specifically may be 45 °.

With continued reference to fig. 1 to 3, the air cooler 100 includes a plurality of support plates 20, and the plurality of support plates 20 are sequentially and fixedly disposed on the air outlet surface 11c along the length direction x. Specifically, six support plates 20 and five air outlet channel groups 12a are fixedly arranged on the air outlet surface 11c at intervals.

By providing the plurality of support plates 20, the air cooler 100 can be supported better, which is advantageous for fixing the air cooler 100 to the damper 200. Moreover, each air outlet channel group 12a is located between two adjacent support plates 20, and the two adjacent support plates 20 enclose a cooling gas channel, so that the cooling gas discharged from the air outlet channel group 12a can circulate in the cooling gas channel, and the mutual flow and interference of the cooling gas between the two adjacent air outlet channel groups 12a are avoided.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the air outlet surface 11c is specifically an arc surface. The air outlet surface 11c can guide the cooling air discharged from the air outlet channel 12, so that the cooling air flows along the outer surface of the damper 200, and the damper 200 is sufficiently cooled.

In this embodiment, the support plate 20 has a support surface 20a facing away from the air cooler main body 10, and the support surface 20a is adapted to be fixed in contact with the outer surface of the damper 200. Wherein, still be equipped with holding tank 21 on the holding surface 20a, holding tank 21 can hold a part of bumper shock absorber 200, therefore can fix forced air cooler 100 to bumper shock absorber 200 better, makes things convenient for the fixed connection of forced air cooler 100 and bumper shock absorber 200.

Referring to fig. 5, the air-cooler main body 10 further has a mounting surface 10d between the first end surface 10a and the second end surface 10b, and the mounting surface 10d is provided with a mounting groove 13. Specifically, the air cooler 100 may be fixedly mounted to the damper 200 by engaging a clip (not shown) with the mounting groove 13. The number of the mounting grooves 13 is four, and two mounting grooves 13 form a mounting groove group for being matched and fixed with a clamp.

In this embodiment, the air intake channel 11 is provided with a first internal thread 11a at a position close to the first end surface 10a, and a second internal thread 11b at a position close to the second end surface 10b (shown in fig. 3).

Referring to fig. 6, when only one of the air coolers 100 is used to cool the damper 200, a plug may be disposed at one end of the air inlet channel 11 by screw-fitting, and a joint of the air inlet device may be disposed at the other end. Referring to fig. 7, when more than two air coolers 100 are required to cool the shock absorber 200, two adjacent air coolers 100 may be connected in series by using a hose 300 through screw thread fit, a plug is disposed at one end of the air inlet channel 11 of one air cooler 100 through screw thread fit, and a joint of an air inlet device is disposed at one end of the air inlet channel 11 of the other air cooler 100 through screw thread fit.

Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
