Car water tank frame role
The main role of the car water tank frame includes the following aspects:
Bearing and holding water tank and condenser : The water tank frame is the support structure that holds the car water tank and condenser, ensuring the stability and safety of these critical components in the front of the vehicle .
absorb collision energy : in the event of a frontal collision, the tank frame can absorb the impact energy and protect the safety of the passenger compartment. It deforms to absorb the energy of a collision, reducing injury to passengers in the car .
Connecting other components : The tank frame also connects components such as the front bumper, headlights and fenders, ensuring the overall structural integrity of the front of the vehicle .
The material and structural characteristics of the water tank frame :
Metal : Common metal materials include steel and aluminum alloy, with high strength and durability.
resin material : the resin water tank frame is usually removable and fixed by bolts, but it is easy to crack in the collision. The design pays more attention to the convenience of replacement .
metal and resin : Some modern models use metal and resin combined design, the upper part is metal, the lower part is resin, to adapt to different collision needs .
The importance of water tank frame in the identification of accident vehicle :
Damage to the tank frame usually means that the vehicle has experienced a serious head-on collision. In the used car market, a record of replacing the tank frame is often seen as a sign that a major accident has been experienced, as such damage may involve the replacement of other critical components, affecting the value and safety of the vehicle .
Automotive water tank frame is a support Structure used to secure the automotive water tank and condenser, commonly known as the Front Crash Structure (FCS) or front end bracket. Located in the front of the car, it not only carries the water tank of the cooling system, but also plays a role in absorbing the impact energy and protecting the safety of the passenger compartment in a collision .
Water tank frame material and structural style
The material of the water tank frame is usually divided into three types: metal material, resin material (plastic) and metal + resin material. There are a variety of structural styles, common non-detachable and detachable two types:
non-detachable water tank frame : This kind of frame is usually made of metal material, with the upper and lower left and right parts of the bracket to form a gantry shape. It is connected to the surrounding parts by bolt or spot welding, and is commonly found in Japanese models such as Honda and Toyota .
detachable water tank frame : This kind of frame is mostly resin material, shape and structure are diverse, such as Volkswagen Magotan's water tank frame is a common detachable water tank frame .
The role and importance of the tank frame
The tank frame plays a role in absorbing impact energy and protecting the safety of the passenger compartment when the vehicle has a frontal collision. If the tank frame is damaged, it usually needs to be replaced. The reason for replacing the tank frame is often that the vehicle has suffered a more serious frontal collision, which indicates that the vehicle has experienced a certain degree of violent collision .
Tank frame replacement conditions and effects
Cases where the tank frame needs to be replaced include:
collision damage : If the car has experienced an accident or collision, the tank frame has been significantly damaged or deformed and needs to be replaced.
corrosion and rust : Long-term exposure to moisture may cause corrosion or rust in the tank frame, affecting its structural strength and function.
cracks or breaks : If cracks or breaks are found in the tank frame, especially at the joints, it may need to be replaced.
leakage : If a coolant leak is found from near the tank frame, it may indicate a seal or structural problem with the frame that needs to be inspected and replaced.
Maintenance and repair : It may be necessary to remove the tank frame for other repairs to the engine or cooling system; If damage is found during disassembly, it should be replaced.
replacement of other parts : some models need to remove the tank frame when replacing the water pump, fan or other parts, such as damaged frame also need to be replaced .
