METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING A MOTOR-FAN UNIT AND A RADIATOR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE ENGINE AND MOTOR-FAN UNIT AND RADIATOR ASSEMBLY OBTAINED

摘要

A device for assembling a motor-fan unit (3) with a radiator (5) for a motor vehicle engine, comprising: - a first support frame (9) intended to support the motor-fan unit and a second support frame (11) intended to support the radiator, at least one of the support frames (9) being provided with at least one peripheral sealing baffle (13) intended to overlap a peripheral edge of the other support frame (11), - at least four fixing points (19) for fixing the motor-fan unit to the radiator and designed to collaborate by engaging together simultaneously, these respectively being two upper fixing points and two lower fixing points, the two upper fixing points each comprising at least one pin (19a1) and a U-shaped lug (19a2) which are able to collaborate with one another so as to hold the upper part (3a) of the motor-fan unit with relatively little play in relation to the radiator, and the two lower fixing points each comprising at least one pin (19b1) and a lug with an L-shaped housing (19b2) which are able to collaborate with one another so as to hold the lower part (3b) of the motor-fan unit slightly away from the radiator and at the end of travel bring the lower part of the motor-fan unit in close to the radiator with relatively little play, - an indexing element for laterally indexing the motor-fan unit relative to the radiator, and - an element for locking the assembly of the motor-fan unit relative to the radiator.
