  • these fan and fan shroud may become an obstacle to increase of an improper flow resistance, so that the amount of traveling air taken in would be reduced and thereby the cooling efficiency would be deteriorated.
  • the present invention has been devised in view of the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cooling device of a vehicle, which includes a fan shroud comprising an opening portion for an electric fan and openings with doors, that can properly prevent the doors from interfering with any other parts in an engine room.
  • a cooling device of a vehicle in which a cooling unit comprising a radiator and a fan shroud supporting an electric fan is disposed in front of an engine in an engine room, a plurality of openings are formed at the fan shroud so as to be located substantially vertically in line beside the electric fan, and doors are provided respectively at the openings so as to be opened by traveling air, wherein the fan shroud is configured in such a manner that an opening position of at least one of the openings is located forward relative to that of another one of the openings and a position of a rear end of the door provided at the one of the openings is located forward relative to that of a rear end of the door provided at the another one of the openings in a state where the doors are opened.

  • the compact layout of the fan shroud having the electric fan and the like in front of the laterally-disposed engine can be attained.
  • the transmission does not generally project forward so much compared to the laterally-disposed engine equipped with the intake manifold and the like at its front.
  • a gap formed between the fan shroud and the engine can be made as narrow as possible, thereby attaining the compact layout of the fan shroud.
  • the cooling unit further comprises a condenser provided substantially in front of the radiator, the opening position of the opening that is located at a relatively upper level of the fan shroud is located forward relative to that of another opening that is located at a relatively lower level of the fan shroud, and the door provided at the opening that is located at the relatively upper level is located at a position where a rear end part thereof does not interfere with a pipe that is provided to be coupled to the condenser in the sate where the door is opened.
  • the condenser is provided along with the radiator and the fan shroud, so the pipe coupled to the condenser may be disposed near the fan shroud.
  • the pipe coupled to the condenser may be disposed near the fan shroud.
  • the doors provided at the openings have substantially an identical shape.
  • the layout in which the opening position of at least one of the openings is located forward relative to that of another one of the openings can bring up the layout in which that the position of the rear end of the door provided at the one of openings is located forward relative to that of the rear end of the door provided at the another of openings in the state where the doors are opened.
  • reduction of manufacturing costs can be also improved.
  • the fan shroud be formed in a bowl shape to project rearward so that the traveling air can be gathered at the fan opening portion as much as possible and the traveling air can be supplied efficiently into the engine room by the electric motor at the vehicle low-speed traveling state.

  • the above-described forward-location of only the opening(s) and the door(s) that are located at the upper part of the fan shroud would not influence badly on the entire supply function of the traveling air. Because, as described above, the amount of traveling air that flows in through the upper opening portion is originally small, compared to the traveling-air amount flowing in through the lower opening portion. Thus, the entire supply function of the traveling air that may be affected mainly by the traveling air flowing in through the lower opening portion would not be influenced badly by the above-described forward-location, and thus the proper layout space of the pile or the like, which is described above, can be ensured properly.

  • an inlet pipe 31 to feed the gas-state coolant to the tank portions from an evaporator of the air conditioner via a compressor, and an outlet pipe 32 to feed the liquid-state coolant cooled at the core portion 21 c to the evaporator.
  • the inlet pipe 31 is one that is provided between a compressor 33 to increase temperature and pressure of the gas-state coolant from the evaporator and the tank portion 21 a of the condenser 21 . It has an observing window 31 a for checking the flow of coolant at its middle portion. This window 31 a is located at a portion near an upper portion of the engine room so as to provide an easy checking. Meanwhile, since the compressor 33 is generally located at a lower portion of the engine room, the inlet pipe 31 interconnecting the compressor 33 and the condenser 21 needs to be provided so as to extend from the lower portion to the upper portion of the engine room. Also, since there is little space in front of the engine 1 of the engine room as shown in FIG. 1 , the inlet pipe 31 may pass in back of the cooling unit 7 , namely just behind the fan shroud 23 .

There are also provided a plurality of ribs that extend radially and a plurality of enforcing ribs that interconnect the ribs at the opening 23 f.
  • a state of the operation of the electric fan 24 includes a situation where the vehicle travels at a low speed and therefore a sufficient amount of traveling air to cool the condenser 21 and radiator 22 and scavenge in the engine room may not be obtained. Meanwhile, when the sufficient amount of the traveling air is obtained at the high-speed traveling state, the operation of the electric fan 24 may cause an improper increase of flow resistance and thereby the scavenging function and the like may be deteriorated to the contrary. Accordingly, in this case the traveling air is supposed to be allowed to pass through the door opening portion 23 b and to flow in the engine room.

  • a fixing position of the pin 26 to the door 25 is offset upward from the center of the door 25 in the vertical direction.
  • This offset fixing of the pin 26 to the door 25 can facilitate a smooth rotation of the door 25 according to the traveling air coming in from the front and provide a proper closing of the door opening 23 c by the door 25 due to its weight when the door 25 does not receive any force of the traveling air or the like.
  • the door opening portion 23 b is configured in such a manner that its upper part is located forward relative to its lower part. Namely, the opening position of the top two door openings 23 c , 23 c , which are located at a relatively upper level, is located forward relative to that of the other door openings 23 c , 23 , . . . , which are located at a relatively lower level. And, the position of rear ends of the doors 25 , 25 at these two top door openings 23 c , 23 c is located forward relative to that of rear ends of the other doors 25 , 25 , . . . in a sate where the doors are opened.

  • the upper-positioned doors 25 , 25 can be properly prevented from interfering with the above-described inlet pipe 31 that extends vertically just behind the fan shroud 23 (see FIGS. 2 and 5 ).
  • the fan shroud 23 is formed in the bowl shape so that the traveling air can be gathered at the fan opening portion 23 a as much as possible. Accordingly, the above-described forward-location of the door openings 23 c , 23 c may cause a concern that a sufficient amount of the traveling air could not be gathered at the fan opening portions 23 a and thereby the cooling function of the condenser 21 and the radiator 22 or the scavenging function of the engine room might be deteriorated.
  • the mount of the traveling air that flows down from the front grill 9 to the lower part of the cooling unit 7 is much larger than that of the traveling air that flows down from the air inlet 11 formed at the bumper 8 to the upper part of the cooling unit 7 , the forward-location of only the door openings 23 c , 23 c and the doors 25 , 25 that are located at the upper part of the door opening portion 23 b would not influence badly on the entire cooling function of the cooling unit 7 or the scavenging function of the engine room.
