[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a fuel tank installation device is provided.

[0035] Specifically, the fuel tank installation device includes a protective shell 1 and a connecting assembly, and the protective shell 1 has a containing space for placing the fuel tank 5. There are multiple connecting assemblies, and the multiple connecting assemblies are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the protective shell 1, wherein one end of each connecting assembly is connected to the frame 6, and the other end of some connecting assemblies is movably connected to the protective shell 1, and the other end of another part of the connecting assemblies is detachably connected to the protective shell 1 through a locking hook mechanism 4, so that the protective shell 1 has a locked state and a disassembled state. When the protective shell 1 is in the locked state, the protective shell 1 and the multiple connecting assemblies and the frame 6 are surrounded to form a limited space for installing the fuel tank 5. When the protective shell 1 is in the disassembled state, some connecting assemblies are separated from the protective shell 1, and a channel for disassembling the fuel tank 5 is formed between the protective shell 1 and the connecting assembly at the separation position.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, one end of each connecting component is connected to the frame 6, that is, the connecting component always remains connected to the frame 6, and the other end of some connecting components is movably connected to the protective shell 1, that is, some connecting components always remain connected to the frame 6, and the other end of the other connecting components is detachably connected to the protective shell 1 through the locking hook mechanism 4, that is, a disassembly passage can be formed between the connecting component and the protective shell 1 body. When the fuel tank 5 is disassembled and assembled using the above-mentioned fuel tank installation device, the fuel tank 5 can be disassembled and assembled without removing the connecting component and the protective shell 1 from the frame 6, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In addition, the locking hook mechanism 4 replaces the bolt as the connecting structure, which makes the connection more convenient and will not cause thread slippage of the bolt or nut, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0037] Further, the plurality of connection assemblies include a first connection assembly, the first connection assembly includes a first connection portion 2, a first end of the first connection portion 2 is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 6, and a second end of the first connection portion 2 is hingedly connected to the open end of the protective shell 1. Specifically, there are two first connection portions 2, the two first connection portions 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the protective shell 1, a connection seat 14 is provided on the protective shell 1, and the first connection portion 2 is hingedly connected to the connection seat 14.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the first connection portion 2 is connected to the protective shell 1 by a hinged manner, so that one end of the protective shell 1 can rotate around the first connection portion 2 to reserve sufficient installation space for the fuel tank 5. During the rotation process, in order to reduce the scratches between the protective shell 1 and the fuel tank 5, a rectangular avoidance notch 11 is provided on the first side wall of the protective shell 1 connected to the first connection portion 2 to reduce the contact area between the first side wall and the fuel tank 5.

[0039] Further, the plurality of connection components include a second connection component, the second connection component includes a second connection part 3, a first end of the second connection part 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 6, and a second end of the second connection part 3 is detachably connected to the open end of the protective shell 1 through a locking hook mechanism 4. Specifically, the second connection part 3 has two, and the two second connection parts 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the protective shell 1, wherein the second connection part 3 and the first connection part 2 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the protective shell 1, so that the frame 6 is evenly stressed.

[0040] It should be noted that the shapes of the first connection part 2 and the second connection part 3 are not limited as long as they can play a supporting role. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connection part 2 and the second connection part 3 are both L-shaped supports, and can also be designed as U-shaped supports, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, the lock hook mechanism 4 includes a wrench 41, a hook 42 and a torsion spring. The wrench 41 is hingedly connected to the protective shell 1 through a pin, and the hook 42 is rotatably connected to the wrench 41. The hook 42 has a connection state of being hooked to the second connection part 3, and a disengagement state of being separated from the second connection part 3. The first end of the torsion spring is connected to the protective shell 1, and the second end of the torsion spring is connected to the wrench 41. When the wrench 41 is in a downwardly pressed state, the torsion spring provides a resistance force to prevent the hook 42 from being disengaged from the second connection part 3.

[0042] It should be noted that when the wrench 41 is in a pressed state, the torsion spring is in an initial state, and the wrench 41 can be easily pressed down to lock the hook 42 to the second connection part 3. When the wrench 41 is in a lifted state, the torsion spring is in a twisted state, that is, it is necessary to lift the wrench 41 with great effort to separate the hook 42 from the second connection part 3. The torsion spring is provided to prevent the hook 42 from being separated from the second connection part 3 due to bumpy road conditions, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the fuel tank 5.

[0043] Furthermore, when the protective shell 1 is in the locked state, there is a gap between the second end of the second connecting portion 3 and the protective shell 1 .

[0044] It should be noted that when the locking hook mechanism 4 locks the second connecting part 3, the wrench 41 is pressed down to press the hook 42 and the second connecting part 3. Since there is a gap between the second end of the second connecting part 3 and the protective shell 1, the hook 42 can pull the second connecting part 3 downward to press the fuel tank 5 between the frame 6 and the protective shell 1 to prevent the fuel tank 5 from shaking due to bumpy road conditions.

[0045] Furthermore, the spanner 41 is provided with an elongated hole 34, which is extended along the height direction of the spanner 41, and the spanner 41 is connected to the hook 42 through the elongated hole 34. That is, the hook 42 is inserted into the elongated hole.

[0046] It should be noted that when the protective shell 1 is in the locked state, the hook 42 is located in the lower half of the elongated hole 34. After the second connecting portion 3 is unlocked and the wrench 41 is lifted, the hook 42 can move upward in the elongated hole 34 to facilitate the hook 42 to be detached from the second connecting portion 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the second end of the second connecting portion 3 is provided with a through slot 31 with a top opening and a baffle 32 , the baffle 32 is located above the through slot 31 , the baffle 32 and the open end of the through slot 31 form a card interface 33 , and the hook 42 enters the through slot 31 through the card interface 33 .

[0048] It should be noted that the baffle 32 and the open end of the through groove 31 form a card interface 33, that is, the top opening of the through groove 31 is blocked. When the torsion spring is damaged due to fatigue, the connection between the hook 42 and the second connecting part 3 will become loose. The setting of the baffle 32 prevents the hook 42 from being separated from the second connecting part 3 due to bumpy road conditions.

[0049] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 12 is provided on the inner wall of the protective shell 1, and the limiting protrusion 12 is used to be plugged and matched with the limiting groove on the oil tank 5. The setting of the limiting protrusion 12 prevents the installation of the oil tank 5 and the protective shell 1.

[0050] Furthermore, a weight-reducing hole 13 is provided on the bottom wall of the protective shell 1. Specifically, the weight-reducing holes 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the protective shell 1, wherein the shape of the weight-reducing holes 13 is not limited. The arrangement of the weight-reducing holes 13 reduces the weight of the protective shell 1, thereby reducing the pressure on the frame 6, and is conducive to the lightweight design of the entire vehicle.
