[0031] The specific implementation scheme is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the plastic fuel tank mounting structure in this embodiment includes a vehicle frame 1, a fuel tank body 2, a bottom fixing frame 3, and a top fixing frame 5. The fuel tank body 2 is arranged at the rear portion between the left and right longitudinal beams 11 of the vehicle frame 1, and is located at the front side of the frame tail plate.
[0033] The bottom fixing frame 3 is a rectangular frame, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1 from below the frame 1; the bottom of the fuel tank 2 is seated on the bottom fixing frame 3, and the bottom of the fuel tank 2 has a lower boss 23 protruding downward into the frame of the bottom fixing frame 3, such as Figure 4 The side surface of the lower boss 23 abuts against the bottom fixing frame 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 6The fuel tank 2 is installed from the bottom, and when the fuel tank 2 is disassembled and maintained later, there is no need to remove the components fixed on the frame 1 and located above the fuel tank 2. The bottom fixing frame 3 adopts a rectangular frame structure, and the fuel tank 2 has a lower boss 23 embedded in the bottom fixing frame frame, which facilitates the good connection and fixation of the fuel tank 2 and the bottom fixing frame 3.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the top fixing frame 5 is arranged on the top of the fuel tank 2 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 1. Figure 4 As shown, a top groove 21 is provided on the top of the fuel tank 2 for the top fixing frame 5 to be embedded therein from top to bottom. The top of the fuel tank 2 cooperates with the top fixing frame 5 embedded therein through the top groove 21 to fix the top of the fuel tank 2.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the top groove 21 is arranged obliquely with the middle surface of the frame 1, and the top fixing frame 5 is composed of a straight rod whose two ends are fixedly connected to the two longitudinal beams 11 of the frame 1. The length direction of the top groove 21 is arranged obliquely with the longitudinal direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) and the transverse direction (i.e., the left-to-right direction), so that the top fixing frame 5 has a restraining effect on the fuel tank body 2 in the left-to-right direction and the front-to-back direction, preventing the top of the fuel tank body 2 from shaking in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction.
[0036] The oblique straight rod type top fixing frame 5 not only plays a role in restraining and fixing the top of the fuel tank body 2 in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, but also simplifies the structure of the top fixing frame 5 and reduces the cost.
[0037] In some embodiments, the top groove 21 can also be a T-shaped groove. Accordingly, the top fixing frame 5 is also a T-shaped frame, the ends of the transverse rods of the T-shaped frame are fixedly connected to the left and right longitudinal beams of the frame, and the longitudinal rods of the T-shaped frame are fixedly connected to the tail plate of the frame.
[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, a rubber pad 51 is provided between the groove wall surface of the top groove 21 and the top fixing frame 5. The rubber pad 51 is elastic and prevents the fuel tank 2 from directly contacting the top fixing frame 5, thereby preventing the fuel tank 2 from being worn. The groove wall surface of the top groove 21 includes a groove bottom wall surface and side wall surfaces located on both sides of the groove bottom.
[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the top fixing frame 5 is formed by bending a steel plate, and its cross section is in a U-shape with the notch facing upward. With this structure, the weight of the top fixing frame 5 can be reduced while ensuring the strength.
[0040] like Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1 , the inner side surfaces of the two longitudinal beams 11 of the frame 1 (the side surfaces facing the middle surface of the frame) are provided with upper supports 11, which are in the form of longitudinally arranged strips. Figure 1 As shown, the left and right ends of the top fixing frame 5 are fixedly connected to the upper supports 12 on the left and right sides, and the left and right sides of the top of the fuel tank body 2 are provided with avoidance steps 22 for avoiding the upper supports 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 Figure 7 shown.
[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom fixing frame 3 is composed of two horizontal bars 33 and two longitudinal bars 32 connected end to end. The longitudinal bars 32 are fixed to the upper side of the ends of the horizontal bars 33. The ends of the two longitudinal bars 32 are fixed with Z-shaped mounting buckles 34. Figure 3 As shown, four lower supports 13 are provided on the inner side of the longitudinal beam 11 of the vehicle frame 1, and each mounting buckle 34 is fixed to the bottom surface of the corresponding lower support 13 by bolts. The horizontal portion of one end of the Z-shaped mounting buckle 34 is attached to the lower side surface of the end of the longitudinal rod 32, and the horizontal portion of the other end is attached to the bottom surface of the lower support 13 and fixed by bolts, and the section between the two ends of the horizontal portion is attached to the cross section of the longitudinal rod 32. The Z-shaped mounting buckle 34 can also adopt an inverted L shape, and its vertical portion is fixed to the end of the longitudinal rod 32.
[0042] A shock absorbing pad 31 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom fixing frame 3 which abuts against the fuel tank body 2. Figure 5 The shock-absorbing pad 31 is a rubber product, which prevents the bottom fixing frame 3 and the fuel tank body 2 from direct contact, thereby preventing collision and friction between them and preventing the fuel tank body 2 from being worn during use.
[0043] like Figure 5 Figure 6 As shown, the protective bottom plate 4 is fixed on the bottom fixing frame 3, located on the lower side of the bottom fixing frame 3, and covers the bottom surface of the fuel tank body 2. The left and right ends of the protective bottom plate 4 have bent edges 41 bent upward. Nut blocks 35 are fixed to the lower side surfaces of the two longitudinal rods 32. The bent edges 41 at the left and right ends of the protective bottom plate 4 are fixedly connected to the nut blocks 35 by bolts, and the bent edges 41 are located on the outside of the nut blocks (the side facing away from the middle surface of the frame). The protective bottom plate 4 protects the bottom surface of the plastic fuel tank to prevent it from being hit and pierced by sharp objects during use.
[0044] This embodiment also provides a loader having the aforementioned plastic fuel tank mounting structure, wherein the frame 1 is the rear frame of the loader.
[0045] In this embodiment, the plastic oil tank is installed from bottom to top, which is convenient for later disassembly, installation and maintenance of the plastic oil tank. The bottom fixing frame and the top fixing frame for fixing the plastic oil tank have simple structures, which can reduce manufacturing costs.
