Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of truck accessories, in particular to a truck water tank bracket. Background Art

[0002] Truck water tanks play a vital role in truck transportation. As a container for storing coolant, they can ensure that the engine always has sufficient supply of coolant during long-distance transportation of the truck, avoiding engine overheating caused by insufficient coolant.

[0003] At present, water tanks are almost always fixed on the vehicle beam using water tank brackets, and common water tank brackets are mainly segmented or integrated. The segmented type mainly uses two sections of channel steel welded into an L shape, the vertical channel steel is connected to the frame beam, and an arc-shaped support plate is welded on the horizontal channel steel. This method not only has a complex production process, but also consumes materials; the integrated type directly forms an arc section of the horizontal channel steel to support the water tank. Regardless of the segmented or integrated type, it is necessary to set more than two water tank brackets side by side on the frame beam during installation. The water tank lies flat on the horizontal channel steel and leans against the vertical channel steel, and then a hoop is connected between the upper end of the vertical channel steel and the horizontal channel steel to fix the water tank; and considering the welding process and the assembly connection with the frame beam, the notch of the vertical channel steel needs to face the water tank and the notch of the horizontal channel steel needs to face downward. The above two common water tank brackets have the following defects: low strength, stress concentration in the lower part of the vertical channel steel, and due to the characteristics of the cross-sectional shape of the channel steel, it is easy to break near the lower edge of the frame beam, and there is point contact between the water tank and the vertical channel steel, and the contact area is small, which will cause certain damage to the water tank and affect its service life.

[0004] In view of the defects of the prior art, the art has made many improvements to the water tank bracket. For example, the patent with announcement number CN203419122U proposes a water tank bracket for automobile brake cooling. The bracket is generally L-shaped and is an integral part formed by stamping a strip steel plate. A U-shaped groove is formed in the length direction. The notch of the U-shaped groove faces the water tank and bends outward to form a flange. The bracket is connected by a vertical section, an arc section and a horizontal section from top to bottom. The inner side of the arc section fits the circular outer wall of the water tank. Although the bracket of the patent has a large bearing capacity, its horizontal section is a straight structure. In actual use, rainwater, mud and other dirt are not easy to discharge and are easy to flow back into the arc section. In addition, the length of the hoop cannot be adjusted at will when the hoop is installed later, and the flexibility is relatively poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a truck water tank bracket, which has a simple structure and is not only convenient for flexible adjustment of the length of the hoop, but also can prevent impurities such as rainwater and mud from being deposited in the circular arc section, thereby ensuring the safe use of the water tank.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this utility model is:

[0007] A truck water tank bracket, the overall structure of the bracket is generally L-shaped, the bracket is an integral part formed by stamping a strip steel plate, a U-shaped groove is formed in the length direction, the notch of the U-shaped groove faces the water tank and is bent outward to form a flange, the bracket includes a vertical section, an arc section and an inclined section from top to bottom, the inner side of the arc section fits with the circular outer wall of the water tank; the side wall of the U-shaped groove at the upper end of the vertical section is provided with a mounting hole for assembling a hoop, and the number of the mounting holes is more than two; the inclined section is inclined downward, so that one end of the inclined section close to the arc section is higher than the other end of the inclined section.

[0008] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are provided at the junction of the arc section and the inclined section.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib is formed by a local protrusion or depression at the bottom of the U-shaped groove, and the shape of the reinforcing rib is an arc, a triangle or a polygon.

[0010] Furthermore, drainage and slag discharge holes are provided at the arc-shaped bend of the circular arc segment.

[0011] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the inclined section relative to the vertical section is an obtuse angle.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the U-shaped groove gradually decreases from the upper end of the vertical section to the end of the inclined section, and the depth of the U-shaped groove gradually becomes shallower from the upper end of the vertical section to the end of the inclined section.

[0013] Furthermore, a bolt hole for fixing the hoop is provided at one end of the inclined section away from the arc section.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. In the utility model, the number of mounting holes is set to be more than two to facilitate the flexible adjustment of the length of the hoop, and can be applied to the length change of the hoop when the water tank rubber pad is installed or not.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a truck water tank bracket has an overall structure of generally L-shape. The bracket is an integral part formed by stamping a strip steel plate, and a U-shaped groove 1 is formed in the length direction. The notch of the U-shaped groove 1 faces the water tank 11 and is bent outward to form a flange 2. The bracket includes a vertical section 3, an arc section 4 and an inclined section 5 from top to bottom. The inner side of the arc section 4 fits well with the circular outer wall of the water tank 11; the side wall of the U-shaped groove 1 at the upper end of the vertical section 3 is provided with a mounting hole 6 for assembling a hoop 12, and the number of the mounting holes 6 is more than two; the inclined section 5 is inclined downward, so that one end of the inclined section 5 close to the arc section 4 is higher than the other end of the inclined section 5.

[0027] The bracket of the utility model is mainly used to be installed on an existing truck to carry a water tank 11 on the truck, and the vertical section 3 is installed vertically downward, that is, the central axis of the vertical section 3 is perpendicular to the ground. During installation, the vertical section 3 cooperates with the frame beam on the truck, and the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1 on the vertical section 3 needs to be drilled on site according to the actual installation situation.

[0028] In one embodiment of the utility model, a reinforcing plate 10 is further provided on the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1 of the vertical section 3. When the vertical section 3 is fixed to the frame beam, the reinforcing plate 10 is also fixed to the frame beam, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the vertical section 3. Figures 3 to 5 shown.

[0029] The truck water tank bracket in the utility model is an improvement on the existing truck bracket, such as the bracket disclosed in the patent with announcement number CN203419122U. The main difference between the utility model and the patent is the different number of mounting holes 6 and the different structure of the inclined section 5.

[0030] In the present invention, the number of mounting holes 6 is more than two to facilitate flexible adjustment of the length of the hoop 12, and can be simultaneously applicable to the length change of the hoop 12 when the water tank 11 rubber pad is installed and when the rubber pad is not installed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of mounting holes 6 is two.

[0031] The downward inclination of the inclined section 5 can effectively discharge impurities such as rainwater and silt inside the U-shaped groove 1 of the inclined section 5, prevent impurities such as rainwater and silt in the inclined section 5 from flowing back into the arc section 4, avoid corrosion of the bracket in a humid environment, and prevent the water tank 11 from being scratched and worn by impurities such as silt, thereby ensuring the safe use of the water tank 11.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the present invention, a reinforcing rib 7 is further provided at the junction of the arc section 4 and the inclined section 5. The reinforcing rib 7 can enhance the force strength of the inclined section 5, prevent the inclined section 5 from warping up when the hoop 12 is tightened, and prevent the hoop 12 from having a poor tightening effect.

[0033] The reinforcing rib 7 of the utility model is formed by a local protrusion or depression at the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1, and the shape of the reinforcing rib 7 is arc, triangle or polygon. The reinforcing rib 7 is formed by a local protrusion or depression at the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1, which can enhance the force strength at the connection between the arc section 4 and the inclined section 5, and has an anti-deformation effect. The use of the protrusion or depression at the bottom of the groove to form the reinforcing rib 7 does not require a separate welding of reinforcing parts, which further saves materials. The protrusion or depression of the reinforcing rib 7 is relative to the inside of the U-shaped groove 1. When the reinforcing rib is convex, the inside of the U-shaped groove 1 (i.e., the side close to the water tank 11) is convex, and the outside (i.e., the back side away from the water tank 11) is concave. Similarly, when the reinforcing rib is concave, the inside of the U-shaped groove 1 (i.e., the side close to the water tank 11) is concave, and the outside (i.e., the back side away from the water tank 11 and not in contact with the water tank 11) is convex. The specific shape of the reinforcing rib 7 can be selected according to actual conditions, such as arc, triangle or polygon, and can also be other shapes, but considering that the arc shape is more convenient to process, in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the reinforcing rib 7 is formed by a local depression of the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1, and at this time, the U-shaped groove 1 forms a convexity away from the back of the water tank 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the utility model, a drainage and slag discharge hole 8 is also provided at the arc bend of the arc segment 4. The drainage and slag discharge hole 8 can be provided to discharge impurities such as water or silt, and prevent water or silt and other impurities from being deposited at the bottom of the arc segment 4, thereby preventing the bracket from being corroded by the humid environment, and also preventing the water tank 11 from being scratched and worn by impurities such as silt, further ensuring the safe use of the water tank 11. The number of drainage and slag discharge holes 8 in the utility model is more than one, and at least one of the drainage and slag discharge holes 8 is ensured to be set at the lowest horizontal point of the arc bend of the arc segment 4, and the others can be arbitrarily opened on the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1 on the arc segment 4.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the present invention, the angle of inclination of the inclined section 5 relative to the vertical section 3 is an obtuse angle, that is, the angle between the inclined section 5 and the vertical section 3 is an obtuse angle. In one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the inclined section 5 and the vertical section 3 is 95° to 110°. Within this angle range, the inclined section 5 can be ensured to be in a downwardly inclined state, thereby draining rainwater and silt. If the angle of inclination of the inclined section 5 relative to the vertical section 3 is less than 95°, the inclination angle is small, which is not conducive to the rainwater and silt sliding down along the inclined section 5; if the angle of inclination of the inclined section 5 relative to the vertical section 3 is greater than 110°, the end of the inclined section 5 is too bent downward, which is not conducive to matching with the hoop 12.

[0036] In the present invention, the width of the U-shaped groove 1 gradually decreases from the upper end of the vertical section 3 to the end of the inclined section 5, and the depth of the U-shaped groove 1 gradually becomes shallower from the upper end of the vertical section 3 to the end of the inclined section 5. The above structure can not only save materials and reduce the weight of the entire bracket, but also make its appearance more concise, smooth and beautiful.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the present invention, a bolt hole 9 for fixing the band 12 is further provided at one end of the inclined section 5 away from the arc section 4. The bolt hole 9 is provided to facilitate the cooperation with the band 12. During actual installation, one end of the band 12 cooperates with the vertical section 3, and the other end cooperates with the inclined section 5. Specifically, during installation, the bracket is first set on the frame beam (more than two brackets need to be installed during actual installation), and then the water tank 11 is placed on the bracket. Finally, the upper end of the band 12 is cooperated with the mounting hole 6 on the vertical section 3 of the bracket, and the lower end of the band 12 is connected to the inclined section 5 by bolts, and the bolt hole 9 is used to cooperate with the bolts. The connection method between the bracket and the band 12 is a common method in the prior art, such as the connection method disclosed in the patent with announcement number CN203419122U.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in the existing bracket (the matching mode of the horizontal section 14 and the band 12 in the existing bracket is indicated by the dotted line on the right side), the end of the horizontal section 14 matching with the arc section 4 is set horizontally, and the horizontal section 14 needs to extend a certain distance to match with the band 12. If the horizontal section 14 is too short, the band 12 needs to be tilted before it can match with the horizontal section 14, which will cause the connecting bolt 13 at the end of the band 12 used to match with the horizontal section 14 to be skewed and unable to fit with the bolt hole, and easily fall off during use, and the safety of the water tank 11 cannot be guaranteed. In the utility model, the inclined section 5 is tilted downward, and the inclined section 5 does not need to be extended too long to match with the band 12, which can further save materials, and even if the band 12 is skewed, it can be 90° with the inclined section, ensuring that the connecting bolt 13 on the band 12 can fit with the bolt hole on the inclined section 5, thereby firmly connecting the band 12 and the inclined section 5, reducing the risk of falling off during use, and ensuring the safe use of the water tank 11.

[0039] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the scope of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
