[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. described herein are only for facilitating the description of two or more structures or components with the same or similar structures and / or functions, and do not represent a certain special limitation on the order and / or importance.

[0038] The term "a number of" described herein refers to an indefinite number of multiple, usually more than two; and when "a number of" is used to represent the quantity of several components, it does not represent the mutual relationship of these components in terms of quantity.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a specific embodiment of the tank body positioning device provided by the present invention.

[0040] The present invention provides a tank body positioning device, including at least one tank body bracket 1 for fixing the tank body 01. A positioning pin 2 extending downward is provided at the bottom of the tank body bracket 1. The positioning device further includes a positioning mechanism that can be fixed to the vehicle body 02 and is used for positioning the tank body bracket 1. The positioning mechanism includes at least one group of positioning components 3. The positioning component 3 includes a first positioning part 31 and a second positioning part. The first positioning part 31 is provided with a positioning hole matching the positioning pin 2 for restricting the movement of the tank body bracket 1 in the horizontal direction; the second positioning part is used for connecting the tank body bracket 1 and the vehicle body 02 to restrict the movement of the tank body bracket 1 in the vertical direction.

[0041] The tank body positioning device of the present invention improves the structure of the tank body bracket 1 and adds a positioning mechanism to restrict the movement of the tank body bracket 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions, that is, realizes the all-round positioning of the tank body bracket 1. The tank body 01 is fixed inside the tank body bracket 1, thereby ensuring that the tank body 01 can always remain stable during transportation and will not tip over and be damaged. Moreover, the structure is simple, applicable to various types of tank bodies 01, and has a wide application range.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is Figure 2 a schematic structural diagram of the tank body bracket in the tank body positioning device.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tank support 1 includes a bottom support 11 and a side support 12. The bottom support 11 and the side support 12 enclose a shape matching the tank 01. The tank 01 can be fixed between the bottom support 11 and the side support 12. An installation hole is provided at the top of the side support 12. It also includes a limiting band (not shown in the figure). The limiting band is detachably fixed to the installation hole to limit the relative position of the tank 01 fixed within the tank support 1. The bottom support 11 is specifically a cross-shaped structure. Universal wheels 13 are provided at the four ends of the bottom wall of the bottom support 11 to facilitate the movement of the tank 01. The positioning pin 2 is arranged at the central intersection of the bottom support 11.

[0044] Among them, the material of the limiting band is not limited and can be an ordinary rope.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 which is Figure 5 a partial enlarged view of the positioning mechanism; Figure 7 which is Figure 5 a structural schematic diagram of the first positioning part in the positioning mechanism.

[0046] In the present invention, at least one end of the top of the first positioning part 31 is provided with a limiting groove 311 that is open and extends along the length direction. Two through holes 312 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the limiting groove 311. The two through holes 312 on the same side wall have a predetermined distance along the length direction. It also includes two limiting members 313. The limiting members 313 are inserted transversely into the corresponding through holes 312 on the two side walls of the limiting groove 311. The two side walls of the limiting groove 311 and the two limiting members 313 enclose a positioning hole.

[0047] With this setting, when loading the tank 01 and the tank support 1 into the transport vehicle, the limiting members 313 can be taken out first, and the positioning pin 2 at the bottom of the tank support 1 can be aligned with one end opening of the limiting groove 311. Then, the tank support 1 can be directly pushed between the two through holes 312. Finally, the two limiting members 313 are inserted transversely into the two through holes 312 to realize the limitation of the positioning pin 2.

[0048] Therefore, the first positioning part 31 in the positioning mechanism of the present invention makes the operation more convenient while realizing the limitation of the tank support 1, reduces the working intensity of the operator, and has strong practicability.

[0049] Among them, the distance between the two through holes 312 on the same side wall along the length direction should match the dimension of the positioning pin 2 along the length direction to ensure that the positioning pin 2 can be disassembled and assembled in the positioning hole without horizontal movement or horizontal rotation. The positioning pin 2 can be a cylindrical structure, a square structure, etc.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which isFigure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning mechanism in the tank body positioning device.

[0051] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes two groups of positioning components 3. The first positioning parts 31 in the two groups of positioning components 3 are of an integral structure. The first positioning part 31 is provided with a limiting groove 311 which cooperates with the limiting parts 313 in the two groups of positioning components 3.

[0052] The positioning mechanism of this embodiment includes two groups of positioning components 3, that is, the same positioning mechanism can simultaneously position two tank body supports 1. In practical applications, the number of positioning components 3 provided by the positioning mechanism is not limited and can be adaptively adjusted according to factors such as the size of the vehicle body 02.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, the limiting groove 311 has only one end open. In practical applications, it is also feasible that both ends of the limiting groove 311 are open. However, the solution where the limiting groove 311 has only one end open can improve the structural strength of the first positioning part 31, make the structure of the first positioning part 31 more stable, and will not fail due to large impacts during transportation, thereby ensuring the stability of the tank body 01 during transportation.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment, the first positioning part 31 is made of two parallel and integrally fixed hollow square tubes. The hollow square tube located below is used for fixedly connecting with the vehicle body 02, and the hollow square tube located above is provided with the limiting groove 311.

[0055] This setting can further strengthen the structural strength of the first positioning part 31 and ensure the stability of the tank body positioning device of the present invention.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the limiting part 313 includes a limiting bolt and a fixing nut matching the limiting bolt. When it is necessary to position the positioning pin 2 at the bottom of the tank body support 1, the limiting bolt can be inserted into the limiting hole 312, and the limiting bolt can be fixedly connected with the fixing nut; when it is necessary to release the limit of the tank body support 1, the fixing nut can be twisted to separate the limiting bolt and the fixing nut, and the limiting bolt can be removed from the through hole 312.

[0057] Taking the cooperation of the limiting bolt and the fixing nut as the limiting structure, on the one hand, it ensures the stability of the limiting structure; on the other hand, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and has strong practicability.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 And Figure 3 , Figure 3 is Figure 2 Partial enlarged view of the tank body positioning device.

[0059] In the present invention, the second positioning portion includes a plurality of fixing members 32, and the fixing members 32 fix the bottom bracket 11 of the tank bracket 1 to the vehicle body 02 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0060] Specifically in this embodiment, the fixing member 32 includes a hanging ear 321 and a fixing belt body 322. The fixing belt body 322 is of a ring structure, and one end passes through the hanging ear 321, and the other end is used for sleeving the bottom bracket 11 of the tank bracket 1.

[0061] Specifically, the fixing belt body 322 is a self-adhesive tape. When the positioning pin 2 of the tank bracket 1 is inserted into the positioning hole of the first positioning portion 31, one end of the self-adhesive tape can be passed through the hanging ear 321 and bypassed around the bottom bracket 11 of the tank bracket 1 and fixed to the other end, so as to realize further fixation of the tank bracket 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, the fixing belt body 322 does not need to be in direct contact with the tank body 01. Therefore, for a tank body with a high surface temperature such as a baking oven, the tank body positioning device of the present invention can also be used for transportation, improving the applicable range of the tank body positioning device.

[0063] Furthermore, the fixing member 32 further includes a bottom plate 323. The bottom plate 323 can be fixed to the vehicle body 02, and one end is fixedly connected to the first positioning portion 31, and the hanging ear 321 is fixed to the bottom plate 323.

[0064] In this embodiment, the hanging ear 321 is fixed to the vehicle body 02 through the bottom plate 323, increasing the contact area between the hanging ear 321 and the vehicle body 02, making the connection between the hanging ear 321 and the vehicle body 02 more stable.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, the number of the fixing members 32 included in the fixing assembly is four, and the four fixing members 32 are connected to the four ends of the bottom bracket 11 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0066] Of course, the number of the fixing members 32 is not limited, as long as it can play a role in restricting the displacement of the tank bracket 1 in the vertical direction and the rotation in the horizontal direction.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a specific implementation manner of the vehicle provided by the present invention during transportation.

[0068] The present invention also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body 02 and the aforementioned tank body positioning device, and the positioning mechanism in the tank body positioning device is fixed to the vehicle body 02.

[0069] The vehicle of the present invention includes the aforementioned tank body positioning device, so it has the same technical effects as the aforementioned tank body positioning device, which will not be elaborated here.
