For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a fuel tank with integrated boarding step, which includes a fuel tank body 1, a fastening belt 2, a step structure 3, a mounting structure 4 and a step platform 5. In practical applications, the fuel tank body 1 is made of aluminum alloy to meet the requirements of lightweight vehicles.
[0022] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of fastening bands 2 are fixed at intervals on the fuel tank body 1. In practical applications, the fastening bands 2 are used to fix the fuel tank body 1 on the fuel tank support.
[0023] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, a mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the fuel tank body 1. One end of the step structure 3 is fixed to the side wall of the fuel tank body 1, and the other end passes through the mounting hole and is embedded in the fuel tank body 1. Embedding and fixing the step structure 3 in the fuel tank body 1 can not only improve the connection strength between the fuel tank body 1 and the step structure 3, avoid cracking of the fuel tank body 1, but also save the layout space of the vehicle.
[0024] In actual application, the mounting structure 4 is fixed on two adjacent fastening belts 2, and the mounting structure 4 is located on the top of the fuel tank body 1. The stepping platform 5 is fixed on the mounting structure 4, and the stepping platform 5 is located above the stepping structure 3. Specifically, the stepping platform 5 and the fuel tank body 1 are integrated through the mounting structure 4, and there is no need to weld the mounting bracket on the fuel tank body 1, which not only makes the integration of the stepping platform 5 and the fuel tank body 1 simpler, but also avoids the cracking of the fuel tank body 1, and improves the reliability of the fuel tank body 1.
[0025] The embodiment of the utility model provides a fuel tank with an integrated boarding step, which includes a fuel tank body 1, a fastening belt 2, a step structure 3, a mounting structure 4 and a step platform 5. A plurality of fastening belts 2 are fixed at intervals on the fuel tank body 1. A mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the fuel tank body 1. One end of the step structure 3 is fixed to the side wall of the fuel tank body 1, and the other end is embedded in the fuel tank body 1 through the mounting hole. The mounting structure 4 is fixed to two adjacent fastening belts 2, and the mounting structure 4 is located at the top of the fuel tank body 1. The step platform 5 is fixed to the mounting structure 4, and the step platform 5 is located above the step structure 3. The present application embeds the step structure 3 in the fuel tank body 1 to improve the connection strength between the fuel tank body 1 and the step structure 3, and avoid cracking of the fuel tank body 1. In addition, the step platform 5 is fixed to the fastening belt 2 by the mounting structure 4, so as to avoid direct connection between the step platform 5 and the fuel tank body 1, thereby avoiding cracking of the fuel tank body 1 and improving the reliability of the fuel tank body 1.
[0026] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the step structure 3 includes a step box 31 and a pedal 32. One end of the step box 31 is fixed to the side wall of the fuel tank body 1, and the other end is embedded in the fuel tank body 1 through the mounting hole. Two pedals 32 are fixed in the step box 31, and the two pedals 32 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the fuel tank body 1. In actual application, the step box 31 and the pedal 32 are both embedded in the fuel tank body 1, which can not only prevent the fuel tank body 1 from cracking and improve the reliability of the fuel tank body 1, but also save the layout space of the vehicle.
[0027] In practical applications, the step box 31 and the pedal 32 are integrally formed. The integral formation of the step box 31 and the pedal 32 can not only improve the installation efficiency and use strength of the step structure 3, but also improve the reliability of the oil tank body 1.
[0028] Specifically, the step structure 3 and the side wall of the fuel tank body 1 are fixedly connected by welding. After the step structure 3 is installed in the installation hole, a circle is automatically welded by a robot to achieve the fixed connection between the step structure 3 and the fuel tank body 1 and the sealing of the fuel tank body 1.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting structure 4 includes a mounting member 41 and a support member 42. A mounting member 41 is fixed to each of two adjacent fastening belts 2. Both ends of the support member 42 are connected to a mounting member 41, and one end of the support member 42 away from the mounting member 41 is connected to the step platform 5. In actual application, the step platform 5 and the fastening belt 2 are fixed by the mounting member 41 and the support member 42, avoiding the step platform 5 being directly fixed to the fuel tank body 1, thereby improving the reliability of the fuel tank body 1.
[0030] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the support member 42 includes two cross beams 421. The two cross beams 421 are arranged at intervals on the top of the fuel tank body 1 along the width direction of the fuel tank body 1. Both ends of each cross beam 421 are respectively connected to a mounting member 41. Specifically, the provision of two cross beams 421 can ensure that the lightweight requirement of the vehicle is met while the step platform 5 is installed.
[0031] In practical applications, the mounting member 41 includes two mounting seats 411. The two mounting seats 411 are arranged on the fastening belt 2 at intervals along the width direction of the fuel tank body 1. Each mounting seat 411 is connected to one end of a crossbeam 421. The two mounting seats 411 can ensure that the light weight requirement of the vehicle is met while the crossbeam 421 is installed.
