Abstract
An embodiment vehicle includes a vehicle body and an air guide disposed in a space between a radiator grille and a cooling module in a front end portion of the vehicle body, the air guide being configured to guide air introduced through the radiator grille to flow to a radiator of the cooling module, wherein the air guide includes a first guide member fixed to a grille side structure of a front surface portion of the vehicle in which the radiator grille is positioned in the front end portion of the vehicle body and a second guide member installed in a cooling module side structure and spaced apart from the first guide member at an interval.
Claims21
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- and
- an air guide disposed in a space between a radiator grille and a cooling module in a front end portion of the vehicle body, the air guide being configured to guide air introduced through the radiator grille to flow to a radiator of the cooling module, wherein the air guide comprises:
- a first guide member fixed to a grille side structure of a front surface portion of the vehicle in which the radiator grille is positioned in the front end portion of the vehicle body;
- and
- a second guide member installed in a cooling module side structure and spaced apart from the first guide member at an interval, wherein the cooling module side structure comprises a mounting member that fixes and mounts the radiator to a fixed vehicle body portion of the front end portion of the vehicle body while being coupled to the radiator.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- an air guide disposed in a space between a radiator grille and a cooling module in a front end portion of the vehicle body, the air guide being configured to guide air introduced through the radiator grille to flow to a radiator of the cooling module, wherein the air guide comprises:
- a first guide member fixed to a grille side structure of a front surface portion of the vehicle in which the radiator grille is positioned in the front end portion of the vehicle body;
- a second guide member installed in a cooling module side structure and spaced apart from the first guide member at an interval;
- and
- a cross member disposed to extend along a left-right direction of the vehicle from a rear of a blade of a cooling fan configured to suck air in the cooling module, the cross member being installed to be supported, via a fixed bracket, between two vehicle body frames on left and right sides disposed to extend long along a front-rear direction of the vehicle on left and right sides of the vehicle body, respectively.
A fuel cell electric vehicle equipped with a fuel cell stack, the vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a radiator grille in a front end portion of the vehicle body;
- a cooling module in the front end portion of the vehicle body, the cooling module comprising a radiator, wherein the radiator comprises:
- a power electric (PE) component radiator configured to radiate heat of a coolant for a PE component that cools a driving motor for driving the vehicle, the PE component comprising an inverter for the driving motor;
- and
- a stack radiator configured to radiate heat of a coolant for a stack configured to cool the fuel cell stack;
- and
- an air guide disposed in a space between the radiator grille and the cooling module in the front end portion of the vehicle body, the air guide being configured to guide air introduced through the radiator grille to flow to the radiator of the cooling module, wherein the air guide comprises:
- a first guide member fixed to a grille side structure of a front surface portion of the vehicle in which the radiator grille is positioned in the front end portion of the vehicle body;
- and
- a second guide member installed in a cooling module side structure and spaced apart from the first guide member at an interval.
