As can be seen from FIG. 12, when the fan shroud 20 is mounted, the vertical surfaces of the reinforce member 13 and the fan shroud 20 are conventionally overlapped with each other and screwed with a screw BS. Therefore, almost all the weight of the fan shroud 20 is attached to the screw BS after the attachment, and there is a problem that the screw BS is easily loosened. In addition, since the direction of the fastening operation by the screw means is horizontal, there is also a problem that the operation is difficult due to space.

According to the present invention, the inclined portion is fastened and fixed by the screw means with the inclined surfaces formed on both the connecting member and the fan shroud of the vehicle heat exchanger facing each other. The weight of the fan shroud can be supported by the inclined portion of the member, and the load on the screw means can be reduced as compared with the conventional case where the vertical surfaces are fastened to each other. Therefore, loosening of the screw can be prevented as much as possible, and rattling of the fan shroud can be prevented. In addition, since the direction of the fastening operation becomes oblique by providing the above-described slope, a large work space is not required as compared with the case where the fastening operation is performed in the horizontal direction as in the related art, and the operator can remove the fan shroud from above. It is easy to check the slope,
Work efficiency can be improved. This is a remarkable effect particularly when the fan shroud is attached to a radiator or an air conditioning condenser provided in an engine room, which is a small space for accommodating many devices. If the inclined portion is formed at the same time when the connecting member is formed by press working, the number of steps can be reduced. Also, in the case of forming the inclined part after press working, it is possible to prevent the deformation of the main body side mounting part at the time of forming the inclined part by forming a cut in the appropriate position of the connecting member, and to adhere the main body side mounting part to the heat exchanger main body. A sufficient adhesive strength can be secured without reducing the area.

As described above, in this embodiment, the inclined portions 132A and 220A are formed on both the reinforcement member 130 and the fan shroud 220, and the inclined surfaces are fastened and fixed by the screw means. Of the fan shroud 220 at the inclined portion 132A
Weight can be supported, and the load on the screw means can be reduced as compared with the conventional case of fastening between vertical surfaces. Therefore, loosening of the screw can be prevented as much as possible, and rattling of the fan shroud 220 can be prevented. Further, since the direction of the fastening operation by the screw means is an oblique direction (conventionally, the horizontal direction), the effect that the operation is easy is obtained. That is, in the engine room, devices such as the engine are arranged close to the fan shroud side of the radiator 10 ′, so it is difficult to secure a space for easily performing a fastening operation in the horizontal direction. In the configuration in which the work can be performed obliquely downward from above as in the present embodiment, the fastening work can be performed relatively easily even if the space on the fan shroud side is narrow, and the operator can position the hole of the fan shroud 220 from above. Can be easily checked, and work efficiency can be improved. Further, by providing a V-shaped portion on the reinforcement member 130, the reinforcement member 130 is provided.
You can also increase your strength.

According to this, a sufficient bonding strength can be secured without reducing the brazing area of the mounting portion 331 with the heat exchanger body.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, an inclined portion provided on the reinforce member, that is, an inclined portion having an upward inclined surface inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction is also conceivable. These shapes have the advantage that they are easier to process than the V-shaped portion shown in FIG.
There is a disadvantage that the strength of the reinforcement member 130, particularly the strength of the inclined portion, is lower than that of the V-shaped portion. In the V-shaped portion, as shown in FIG. 1, the inclined portion 132A formed on the projecting portion 132 of the reinforce member 130 is formed by being bent inward, so that the mounting portion 1 of the inclined portion 132A is formed.
The side 132C on the 31 side is brazed to the heat exchanger body,
The strength of the reinforcement member 130, in particular, the inclined portion 132A can be improved as compared with those having the shapes shown in FIGS.

Although the reinforcement member has a substantially U-shaped cross section, it may have a U-shape, for example. Further, each V-shaped portion may be formed so as to protrude forward in the drawing, contrary to FIGS. In short, what is necessary is just to form an upward slope inclined obliquely to the vertical direction. The member having the slope may be attached to a conventional reinforcement member. further,
The number of fastening points by the screw means and the number of insertion points of the boss may be five or more. Alternatively, if the member is a lightweight reinforce member, the number may be about two. The insertion of the boss may be abolished and all parts may be screwed. Furthermore, although the structure in which the fan shroud is attached to the radiator is shown, an air conditioning condenser (provided in an engine room similarly to the radiator) or another heat exchanger for vehicles may be used instead of the radiator.
