Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas vehicle technology, and more specifically to a tank mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas is usually stored in tanks, which are typically transported by mounting them on a motor vehicle.

[0003] For example, according to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216510489U, a highly stable vehicle-mounted tank installation structure includes a lower mounting component and a welded long plate. The lower mounting component is fixedly connected to two rows of positions at the upper end of the welded long plate. In this invention, the anti-slip and shock-absorbing plate structure provides anti-collision damage protection. When installing the anti-slip and shock-absorbing plate, firstly, rotate the bolt rods at the lower end of the U-shaped bend plate to fix it in the lower mounting component. This threaded rotation method makes installation more convenient. In use, the U-shaped bend plate fits the tank body more closely. When the tank body is placed on the U-shaped bend plate, the shock-absorbing springs at the bottom provide a buffering effect when the vehicle bumps, preventing the tank body from colliding with the vehicle body. The ends of the shock-absorbing springs are fitted with thick rubber plates, making the U-shaped bend plate less likely to be damaged when it collides with the tank body.

[0004] However, the above solution still has shortcomings: the device uses a traditional installation mechanism of bolts and nuts to install and fix the tank, but due to the frequent driving of motor vehicles, the bolts often loosen, which causes the on-board tank to loosen. Moreover, such an installation structure is not easy to disassemble, which brings great trouble to maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a tank installation structure that solves the problem that the traditional installation mechanism using bolts and nuts to fix the tank often results in loosening of the bolts due to frequent vehicle traffic, leading to loosening of the on-board tank. Furthermore, this installation structure is not easy to disassemble, causing significant maintenance difficulties.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A tank mounting structure includes: a base frame, wherein a plurality of fixing rings are movably sleeved inside the base frame, a gas tank body is disposed inside the base frame, a connecting plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the base frame, and a plurality of support plates are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the connecting plate; and a mounting assembly disposed on the top surface of the base frame for mounting the gas tank body to the base frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and by setting up the installation components, the gas tank body can be installed on the base frame.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes: a plurality of support holes, each of which is located on one side of a plurality of support plates; bearings are fixedly fitted inside the support holes; a rotating shaft is provided on one side of the base frame, and the rotating shaft is fixedly fitted to the inner circular wall of the inner ring of the bearing inside each of the plurality of support holes; a connecting frame is fixedly installed on the other side of the base frame, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed inside the connecting frame; a worm gear is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft; a plurality of first limiting holes are provided on one side of the worm gear; and a second limiting hole is provided on one side of each of the plurality of support plates. A limiting rod is movably fitted inside any one of the first limiting holes. One end of the limiting rod passes through the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole and extends into the interior of the connecting plate. A first steel cable is fixedly installed on one side of the interior of the connecting plate. A first hook is fixedly installed at one end of the first steel cable and is connected to one end of the limiting rod. A plurality of second steel cables are fixedly installed on the outer circular wall of the rotating shaft. A second hook is fixedly installed at one end of the second steel cable and is connected to the outer circular wall of the connecting rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas tank body is placed inside the base frame, and then the fixing ring is fitted inside the base frame, ensuring that the inner wall of the fixing ring is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the gas tank body. The second hook is then connected to the connecting rod, and the rotating shaft is rotated, causing the second steel cable to wind around the rotating shaft and continuously tighten the fixing ring, thus securing it tightly. The limiting rod is then passed through either the first or second limiting hole, and the first hook is connected to one end of the limiting rod, thus completing the installation of the gas tank body. This prevents the gas tank body from loosening due to vibrations during vehicle operation. Furthermore, this installation mechanism is faster than traditional bolt-installation mechanisms in both installation and disassembly.

[0011] Preferably, an operating box is provided on one side of the connecting plate, the bottom surface of the worm gear passes through the top surface of the operating box and extends into the interior of the operating box, fixing holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the operating box, bearings are fixedly fitted inside the fixing holes, a worm is provided inside the operating box, the worm is fixedly fitted with the inner circular wall of the inner ring of the bearing inside the fixing hole, a nut is fixedly installed at one end of the worm, and the worm meshes with the worm wheel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a worm gear, the worm can be rotated by rotating the worm. Since the worm gear cannot drive the worm to rotate, it makes it more convenient for workers to install the gas tank body in actual operation.

[0013] Preferably, each of the outer circular walls of the plurality of fixed rings is provided with a limiting groove, and the plurality of second steel cables are respectively movably sleeved inside the plurality of limiting grooves.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a limiting groove, the second steel cable can be limited to prevent it from detaching from the outer circular wall of the fixing ring.

[0015] Preferably, the outer circular wall surface of the connecting rod is fixedly fitted with several limiting rings.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a limiting ring, the second hook can be limited to prevent it from moving laterally on the outer circular wall of the connecting rod.

[0017] Preferably, rubber strips are fixedly fitted onto the inner circular walls of several fixing rings.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting rubber strips, which are soft and have a large coefficient of friction, the gas tank body can be better secured.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects:

[0020] By setting up the gas tank body and placing it inside the base frame, then fitting the fixing ring inside the base frame with the inner circular wall of the fixing ring tightly against the outer circular wall of the gas tank body, the second hook is connected to the connecting rod, and the rotating shaft is rotated, causing the second steel cable to wind around the rotating shaft and continuously tighten the fixing ring, thus securing it tightly. Then, the limiting rod is passed through either the first or second limiting hole, and the first hook is connected to one end of the limiting rod, thus completing the installation of the gas tank body. This prevents the gas tank body from loosening due to vibrations during vehicle operation. Furthermore, this installation mechanism is faster than traditional bolt-installation mechanisms for both installation and disassembly.

[0021] By setting a worm gear, the worm can be rotated by rotating the worm. Since the worm gear cannot drive the worm to rotate, it is more convenient for the staff to install the gas tank body in actual operation. The limiting groove can limit the second steel cable and prevent the second steel cable from detaching from the outer circular wall of the fixing ring. Attached Figure Description

By placing the gas tank body 3 inside the base frame 1, and then fitting the fixing ring 2 into the inner sleeve of the base frame 1... The installation mechanism is designed to ensure that the inner wall of the fixing ring 2 is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the gas tank body 3. Then, the second hook 18 is connected to the connecting rod 11, and the rotating shaft 7 is rotated so that the second steel cable 17 is wound around the rotating shaft 7 and continuously tightens the fixing ring 2, thereby making the fixing ring 2 tightly fixed.
