Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of truck technology, and more particularly to a protective device for loading truck fuel tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Loading trucks are vehicles used to transport goods and commodities, and are generally classified into heavy-duty and light-duty types according to their weight. Loading trucks are commonly used in coal mines for transporting coal. Unlike typical outdoor environments, coal mines are often clean and tidy, with piles of coal and dirt roads everywhere. When loading coal or driving within the mine, loading trucks inevitably encounter situations where coal slag is splashed or dust is flying everywhere. This necessitates regular maintenance of loading trucks to prevent them from becoming too dirty and affecting normal operation. While high-pressure water jets can generally clean the vehicles, the fuel tanks of loading trucks are usually exposed on both sides of the vehicle. External dust or oil stains from refueling accumulate on the outer walls of the fuel tank. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, even high-pressure washing cannot guarantee the cleanliness of the fuel tank, making refueling inconvenient. Therefore, this application proposes a protective device for loading truck fuel tanks that can protect them from external dust and oil stains, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a protective device for mounting truck fuel tanks, solving the problem that in the prior art, truck fuel tanks are generally exposed directly on both sides of the vehicle body, and external dust or oil stains from refueling fall on the outer wall of the fuel tank. Without cleaning and maintenance for a long time, even high-pressure cleaning is difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the fuel tank, which is inconvenient for refueling later. By using a mounting box, the outer wall of the fuel tank is effectively prevented from being contaminated with dust and oil, and the mounting box can be cleaned with a simple rinse, which facilitates the maintenance of the fuel tank.

[0004] This application provides a protective device for loading truck fuel tanks, including the fuel tank.

There are two anti-collision components, and another anti-collision component is symmetrically installed on the right side wall of the mounting box. The anti-collision component includes a fixing plate, a first upright, a second upright, a push plate, and a buffer component.

[0010] The fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the left side wall of the mounting box and is used for the installation support of upright pole one and upright pole two;

[0011] The first upright is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing plate, and the second upright is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing plate, with the second upright located below the first upright;

[0012] The buffer is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate. The buffer is located between upright one and upright two. The buffer is made of soft silicone pad.

[0013] The push plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the buffer, and the push plate is configured as a concave plate.

[0014] Furthermore, ball bearings are installed on the upper side of the first upright and the lower side of the second upright. The upper side of the push plate is slidably connected to the first upright through ball bearings, and the lower side of the push plate is also slidably connected to the second upright through ball bearings.

[0015] Furthermore, a wear-resistant rubber pad is adhered to the right side of the push plate.

[0016] Furthermore, a cleaning device is installed on the left side of the bottom of the installation box. There are two cleaning devices, with the other one symmetrically installed on the right side of the bottom of the installation box.

[0017] Furthermore, the cleaning device includes a support plate, a slide bar one, a slide bar two, a cleaning assembly, a transmission block, and a transmission plate;

[0018] The first slide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front side of the mounting box, and the second slide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rear side of the mounting box.

[0019] The support plate is fixedly connected between slide rod one and slide rod two;

[0020] The cleaning components are fixedly mounted on the support plate;

[0021] The transmission block is slidably connected to the support plate;

[0022] The transmission plate is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the mounting box, and the transmission plate is configured as a circular plate.

[0023] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the support plate, and the transmission block is slidably installed in the groove. The bottom side of the transmission block is fixedly connected to the left side of the transmission plate.

[0024] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is provided on the bottom side of the transmission plate, and the transmission plate and the rotating shaft are fixedly connected. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the mounting box. A motor is provided on the right side of the rotating shaft, and a transmission belt is connected between the rotating shaft and the motor.

[0025] The cleaning components further include mounting block one, mounting block two, a base plate, and a cleaning head;

[0026] Mounting block one is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate, and mounting block two is fixedly connected to the right side of the support plate;

[0027] The base plate is fixedly connected to mounting block one and mounting block two, with a distance of 5-7cm between the base plate and the support plate;

[0028] The cleaning head is fixedly connected to the base plate. There are at least 5 sets of cleaning heads, and each cleaning head is equipped with a rigid soft brush or a sponge.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom sides of slide rod one and slide rod two are equipped with fans.

[0030] Furthermore, the front side of the mounting box is equipped with a door, which is located below the partition.

[0031] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0032] 1. The mounting box is fitted onto the fuel tank and fixed to the vehicle frame by welding. During the mounting process, the push plate slides along the uprights one and two towards the tank wall, thus fitting the mounting box into place. The mounting box can be installed before the fuel tank is loaded onto the truck. It has a pre-installed fuel pipe outlet, providing protection for the fuel tank without affecting its normal operation. The mounting box effectively prevents dust and oil from adhering to the outer wall of the fuel tank, and a simple rinse can clean it, facilitating fuel tank maintenance. It also provides safety protection for the fuel tank, preventing damage and deformation from external impacts.

[0033] 2. If dust accumulates on the bottom side of the mounting box and the bottom side of the fuel tank, simply open the box door and activate the motor and fan. The motor drives the rotating shaft via a transmission belt, which in turn rotates the transmission plate. The transmission plate then drives the transmission block, which slides up and down in the groove as it rotates. This allows the support plate to slide back and forth, enabling the cleaning brush head to clean the bottom side of the fuel tank. Simultaneously, the fan blows out the dust that has fallen into the bottom of the mounting box. This process is convenient, quick, saves the driver's time, and reduces cleaning and maintenance work.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Please see Figure 1-3 A protective device for mounting a truck fuel tank, comprising a fuel tank 10;

[0048] A protective device 20 is detachably installed on the outside of the fuel tank 10; the protective device 20 is configured as a hollow mounting box 21 with an opening and closing door on the upper side, for mounting the fuel tank 10.

[0049] The mounting box 21 is equipped with a partition 50 and an anti-collision component 30.

[0050] The partition 50 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the mounting box 21 for mounting support of the oil tank 10;

[0051] The anti-collision component 30 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the mounting box 21 to prevent the outer wall of the fuel tank 10 from colliding with the inner wall of the mounting box 21 when the mounting box 21 is installed, thus preventing the fuel tank 10 from deforming.

[0052] The anti-collision component 50 includes a fixed plate 31, a first upright 34, a second upright 35, a push plate 32, and a buffer component 33;

[0053] The fixing plate 31 is fixedly installed inside the left side wall of the mounting box 21 and is used for the installation support of the first upright 34 and the second upright 35.

[0054] Upright pole 1 34 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the fixing plate 31, and upright pole 2 35 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the fixing plate 31. Upright pole 2 35 is located below upright pole 1 34.

[0055] The buffer 33 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate 31. The buffer 33 is located between the first upright 34 and the second upright 35 and is used to realize the left and right movement of the push plate 32.

[0056] The push plate 32 is fixedly connected to the right side of the buffer 33, and the push plate 32 is configured as a concave plate.

[0057] The upper side of the push plate 32 is slidably connected to the first upright 34, and the lower side of the push plate 32 is slidably connected to the second upright 35. That is to say, when the push plate 32 is subjected to a pushing force, the buffer 33 retracts, and the push plate 32 slides to the left along the first upright 34 and the second upright 35. After the pushing force disappears, the buffer 33 rebounds, and the push plate 32 resets to the right.

[0058] The buffer 33 is made of soft silicone pad, which is elastic, easy to recover after deformation, and has a wider force-bearing area than springs, making it less prone to damage.

[0059] To ensure smooth sliding between the push plate 32 and the first upright 34 and the second upright 35, ball bearings are installed on the upper side of the first upright 34 and the bottom side of the second upright 35. The installation of the ball bearings effectively ensures the smooth sliding between the push plate 32 and the first upright 34 and the second upright 35.

[0060] A wear-resistant rubber pad is attached to the upper right side of the push plate 32 to reduce wear on the outer wall of the oil tank 10.

[0061] Two anti-collision components 30 are provided, with the other anti-collision component 30 symmetrically installed on the right side wall of the mounting box 21;

[0062] By moving the left and right push plates 32, it can also be adapted to oil tanks of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of the mounting box 21.

[0063] The outer wall of the mounting box 21 is coated with PU paint, which makes the wall of the mounting box 21 waterproof, oil-proof and stain-proof; multiple layers of PU paint can be applied.

[0064] The mounting box 21 is designed with a double-layer structure, with silicone blocks filling the space between the outer and inner layers. This prevents serious damage and deformation of the mounting box 21 when it is subjected to external impact, thus ensuring the safety of the oil tank 10.

[0065] In actual operation of this embodiment, the mounting box 21 is fitted onto the fuel tank 10. The mounting box 21 can be fixed to the vehicle frame by welding. During the fitting process, the push plate 32 is pushed towards the wall of the mounting box 21 and slides along the first upright 34 and the second upright 35, thus achieving the fitting of the mounting box 21. The mounting box 21 can be installed before the fuel tank 10 is loaded onto the truck. Its body also has a pre-reserved outlet for the fuel pipe, which not only protects the fuel tank 10 but also does not affect its normal use.

[0066] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: by using the installation box, the outer wall of the fuel tank is effectively prevented from being contaminated with dust and oil, and the installation box can be cleaned with a simple rinse, which facilitates the maintenance of the fuel tank. In the future, it can also play a safety protection role for the fuel tank, preventing damage and deformation from external impacts.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] Please see Figure 4-8The fuel tank 10 is installed inside the mounting box 21. Over time, dust will still accumulate on the bottom of the fuel tank 10 and the bottom side of the mounting box 21. To save drivers' time and reduce cleaning and maintenance work, a cleaning device 60 is installed on the bottom side of the mounting box 21 to clean the bottom of the fuel tank 10 and the bottom side of the mounting box 21.

[0069] A cavity 40 is left between the partition 50 and the bottom side of the mounting box 21 for the installation of the cleaning device 60, which is installed on the left side of the bottom of the mounting box 21.

[0070] The cleaning device 60 includes a support plate 61, a first slide rod 62, a second slide rod 63, a cleaning component 64, a transmission block 65, and a transmission plate 66.

[0071] Slide rod 1 62 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front side of the mounting box 21, and slide rod 2 63 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rear side of the mounting box 21, for supporting the installation of the support plate 61;

[0072] The support plate 61 is fixedly connected between slide bar 62 and slide bar 63, and is used for the installation support of the cleaning component 64;

[0073] The cleaning component 64 is fixedly installed on the support plate 61. By sliding the support plate 61 left and right, the cleaning component 64 can clean the bottom of the oil tank 10.

[0074] The transmission block 65 is slidably connected to the support plate 61 and is used to drive the support plate 61 to move back and forth left and right.

[0075] The transmission plate 66 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the mounting box 21, and is used to provide power for the support plate 61 to move back and forth.

[0076] The front and rear walls of the mounting box 21 are equipped with slide rails to enable sliding support for slide rod 1 62 and slide rod 2 63.

[0077] A sliding groove 610 is provided on the support plate 61, and a transmission block 65 is installed in the sliding groove 610. The transmission block 65 is slidably connected to the support plate 61 through the sliding groove 610.

[0078] The transmission plate 66 is designed as a circular plate.

[0079] The bottom side of the transmission block 65 is fixedly connected to the left side of the transmission plate 66. That is to say, the transmission plate 66 drives the transmission block 65. As the transmission block 65 rotates, it slides up and down in the slide groove 610, thereby realizing the left and right back and forth sliding of the support plate 61.

[0080] A rotating shaft 67 is provided on the bottom side of the transmission plate 66, and the rotating shaft 67 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the mounting box 21; the transmission plate 66 and the rotating shaft 67 are fixedly connected.

[0081] The bottom side of the mounting box 21 is also equipped with a motor 68, which is located on the right side of the rotating shaft 67 and is used to provide power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 67.

[0082] A drive belt 69 connects the rotating shaft 67 and the motor 68.

[0083] In other words, the motor 68 drives the rotating shaft 67 to rotate via the transmission belt 69, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 67 causes the transmission plate 66 to rotate.

[0084] The cleaning component 64 includes mounting block 1 641, mounting block 2 642, base plate 643, and cleaning head 644;

[0085] Mounting block 1 641 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate 61, and mounting block 2 642 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support plate 61 for mounting support of the base plate 643;

[0086] The base plate 643 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 641 and the mounting block 642. A distance of 5-7cm is left between the base plate 643 and the support plate 61 to avoid obstructing the sliding of the transmission block 65.

[0087] The cleaning head 644 is fixedly connected to the base plate 643, and at least 5 sets of cleaning heads 644 are provided.

[0088] The cleaning head 644 is equipped with rigid soft bristles or a sponge to clean the bottom surface of the oil tank 10.

[0089] The bottom of slide rod 62 and slide rod 63 are equipped with fans 70, which can blow out the dust from the bottom of the installation box 21.

[0090] The partition 50 is designed to be hollow in the middle and is a frame consisting of multiple support rods 51. It is used to support the oil tank 10 and can also be used for cleaning by the cleaning brush 644.

[0091] In order to blow the dust blown by the fan 70 out of the housing, a door 80 is installed on the front side of the housing 10. The door 80 is located below the partition 50. When the door 80 is opened, the dust can be blown out of the housing.

[0092] Two cleaning devices 60 are provided, with the other one symmetrically installed on the right side of the bottom of the mounting box 21. The cleaning and maintenance of the bottom of the oil tank 10 can be achieved through the cooperation of the two cleaning devices.

[0093] The power supply for the fan 70 and the motor 68 can be provided by an external battery.

[0094] In actual operation of this embodiment, after the oil tank 10 is installed in the mounting box 21, if dust accumulates on the bottom side of the mounting box 21 and the bottom side of the oil tank 10, simply open the box door 80 to drive the motor 68 and the fan 70. The motor 68 drives the rotating shaft 67 to rotate through the transmission belt 69. As the rotating shaft 67 rotates, the transmission plate 66 rotates, and the transmission plate 66 drives the transmission block 65. As the transmission block 65 rotates circumferentially, the transmission block 65 slides up and down in the slide groove 610, thereby realizing the left and right back and forth sliding of the support plate 61. This allows the cleaning brush head 644 to clean the bottom side of the oil tank 10 left and right. At the same time, the fan 70 blows out the dust that has fallen into the bottom of the mounting box 10, which is convenient and quick.

[0095] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
