Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of vehicles, and in particular to a water tank and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A water tank is a water storage tool installed inside a vehicle. Generally, the water tank is installed in the front compartment of the vehicle. It can be connected to a washing pump to spray the front windshield of the car, thereby cleaning the front windshield.

[0003] However, when the vehicle brakes suddenly or is driving on bumpy roads, the washer fluid in the water tank tends to shake and form large waves. The driver or co-driver may hear the sound of water waves in the water tank, affecting the driving and riding experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank and a vehicle, which solves the noise problem of the vehicle during driving.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a water storage tank, comprising:

[0007] The box body has a receiving cavity, a water inlet and a water outlet, and the water inlet and the water outlet are both connected to the receiving cavity;

[0008] A wave-proof assembly is disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the wave-proof assembly includes a plurality of wave-proof plates disposed at an angle, and is used to separate the accommodating cavity into a plurality of compartments by the wave-proof plates;

[0009] A flow groove is provided at the bottom of each wave-breaking plate, and a plurality of interval spaces are connected through the flow groove.

[0010] The water tank provided in the embodiments of the present application includes a tank body and a wave-breaking assembly. The wave-breaking assembly includes a first wave-breaking plate and a second wave-breaking plate that are pluggably connected. This connection method not only simplifies the installation and maintenance of the wave-breaking plates, but also enhances the stability of the wave-breaking assembly. Through plugging, the first and second wave-breaking plates can be firmly connected to form a stable frame. Even if the vehicle encounters bumps or sudden braking during driving, the wave-breaking plates can maintain their shape and position, effectively separating the liquid.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second wave-breaking plates are connected at an angle. When the vehicle travels on uneven roads or decelerates suddenly, the kinetic energy of the liquid is dispersed by the angle of the wave-breaking plates, reducing the chance of large waves forming within the tank. This angled design effectively suppresses sloshing of the liquid in all directions, improving the tank's performance under various driving conditions.

[0012] At the same time, through the angle setting of the first wave-breaking plate and the second wave-breaking plate, the water tank's holding chamber is divided into multiple small-volume intervals. This division reduces the possibility of liquid shaking freely over a large range, so that even when the vehicle is driving dynamically, the liquid in the water tank can remain relatively stable, reducing the generation of water waves, and thereby reducing the impact of water wave noise and liquid shaking on the cab.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the present application, the wave-breaking assembly includes a first wave-breaking plate and a second wave-breaking plate that are detachably connected, and the first wave-breaking plate and the second wave-breaking plate are arranged at an angle.

[0014] In a possible implementation of the present application, the first wave-breaking plate and the second wave-breaking plate each have a first edge close to the bottom of the box and a second edge close to the top of the box;

[0015] A flow groove (230) is provided at the first edge and / or the second edge of the first wave-breaking plate (210);

[0016] A flow groove (230) is provided at the first edge and / or the second edge of the second wave-breaking plate (220).

[0017] In a possible implementation of the present application, a first slot is provided on the first wave-breaking plate, and the first slot is provided at a first edge of the first wave-breaking plate and extends toward a second edge thereof;

[0018] The second wave-breaking plate is provided with a second slot, which is provided at the second edge of the second wave-breaking plate and extends toward the first edge thereof;

[0019] The first wave-breaking plate and the second wave-breaking plate are plug-connected through the first slot and the second slot.

[0020] In a possible implementation of the present application, a limiting structure is further provided on the inner wall of the box, and the wave-proof component is connected to the box via the limiting structure.

[0021] In a possible implementation of the present application, the box body includes a box bottom wall, a box side wall arranged on the circumferential outer edge of the box bottom wall, and a box top wall arranged on the top of the box side wall. The limiting structure includes a limiting groove arranged on the box side wall, and the wave-breaking plate is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0022] In a possible implementation of the present application, a plurality of limiting grooves are provided, and the ends of each wave-breaking plate are respectively inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves.

[0023] In a possible implementation of the present application, each wave-breaking plate is provided with a communication hole, and the communication hole is used to connect adjacent interval spaces.

[0024] In a possible implementation of the present application, the water outlet is arranged on the bottom wall of the tank, and the water storage tank further includes a washing pump, which is connected to the water outlet.

[0025] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle comprising the above-mentioned water tank.

[0026] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the above-mentioned water tank. Since the above-mentioned water tank has the advantages of being able to prevent waves and having low noise, the vehicle including the water tank has the advantages of low noise and high comfort.

[0048] The water tank, a crucial component within a vehicle, primarily stores washer fluid and is typically located in the front engine compartment. Connected to the washer pump, it provides timely spray cleaning for the windshield, ensuring a clear view for the driver and enhancing driving safety.

[0049] However, under certain driving conditions, such as sudden braking or driving on bumpy roads, the washer fluid in the tank may slosh violently, creating noticeable waves. These waves can make a noise that can be clearly heard in the cockpit, disrupting the driver's concentration and reducing ride comfort. Therefore, optimizing the tank design to minimize internal fluid sloshing is a key consideration for improving the driving experience and ride quality.

[0050] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank and a vehicle, which reduces the turbulence of the washing liquid by arranging a wave-proof component inside the water tank, thereby reducing the sound of water waves, thereby improving the driving experience and riding experience.

[0051] In addition, it should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large automobile, a small car, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, according to the vehicle model, the vehicle in this application may be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other vehicle models. A vehicle generally has wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the type of vehicle power source is not limited. For example, for a fuel-powered vehicle, the power source may refer to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or other fuel-powered engine; for an electric vehicle, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; and for a vehicle powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.

[0053] The specific structure of the water storage tank in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a water storage tank provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of a water storage tank provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the water tank provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water storage tank 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes: a tank body 100 and a wave-proof component 200.

[0056] Specifically, the box body 100 has a accommodating cavity 101 , a water inlet 102 and a water outlet 103 , and the water inlet 102 and the water outlet 103 are communicated with the accommodating cavity 101 .

[0057] The accommodating chamber 101 serves as the primary liquid storage space for storing washing liquid. The water inlet 102 is used to replenish the water tank with washing liquid. In some embodiments, the water tank 10 may also include a sealing member to block the water inlet 102. The sealing member is typically designed to be easy to operate and effectively prevent the ingress of dust and impurities. The water outlet 103 is connected to the washing pump 400, through which the washing liquid is pumped to the front windshield, achieving a spray cleaning function.

[0058] The wave-proof assembly 200 is installed in the storage chamber 101. It includes multiple wave-proof panels arranged at an angle. The wave-proof panels divide the storage chamber 101 into multiple compartments. The wave-proof panels can separate the liquid in the storage chamber 101, thereby reducing the amplitude of the liquid sloshing within the box. By dividing the storage chamber 101 into multiple small compartments, the wave waves formed by the liquid during sudden braking or bumpy driving can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the sound and sloshing caused by the waves.

[0059] In addition, each wave-breaking plate is provided with a flow slot 230 at its end, connecting the multiple compartments. For example, the flow slot 230 can be located at the top, bottom, or side of the wave-breaking plate, allowing the multiple compartments to remain connected. This ensures uniform distribution of the washing liquid within the tank 100 and allows for smooth flow of liquid during pumping, preventing localized cavitation and ensuring proper operation of the washing system.

[0060] Therefore, the above-mentioned water tank 10 can effectively reduce liquid shaking during driving while storing washing liquid through the coordinated design of the tank body 100 and the wave-proof component 200, thereby reducing noise and improving driving and riding comfort.

[0061] The specific structure of the wave-proof assembly is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an exploded view of the wave-proof assembly of the water tank provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the wave-breaking assembly 200 includes a first wave-breaking plate 210 and a second wave-breaking plate 220 that are plug-connected. This connection method not only simplifies the installation and maintenance of the wave-breaking plates, but also enhances the stability of the wave-breaking assembly. Through plug-in connection, the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 can be firmly combined to form a stable frame. Even if the vehicle encounters bumps or sudden braking during driving, the wave-breaking plates can maintain their shape and position, effectively separating liquids.

[0064] Furthermore, the first and second wave-breaking plates 210 and 220 are connected at an angle. When the vehicle travels on uneven roads or decelerates suddenly, the kinetic energy of the liquid is dispersed by the angle of the wave-breaking plates, thereby reducing the chance of large waves forming within the water tank. This angled design effectively suppresses sloshing of the liquid in all directions, improving the tank's performance under various driving conditions.

[0065] At the same time, through the angle setting of the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220, the accommodating chamber 101 of the water tank 10 is divided into multiple small-volume interval spaces. This division reduces the possibility of liquid shaking freely over a large range, so that even when the vehicle is driving dynamically, the liquid in the water tank can remain relatively stable, reducing the generation of water waves, and thereby reducing the impact of water wave noise and liquid shaking on the cab.

[0066] It should also be noted that both the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 have a first edge close to the bottom of the box body 100 and a second edge close to the top of the box body 100, and a flow groove 230 is provided at the first edge and / or the second edge of the first wave-breaking plate 210. Correspondingly, the first edge and / or the second edge of the second wave-breaking plate 220 may also be provided with a flow groove 230. This arrangement allows the liquid in the multiple compartments to flow through the gaps formed by the flow grooves 230, so that the liquid can be evenly distributed in the multiple compartments. At the same time, when pumping the liquid, each part of the liquid can flow smoothly, avoiding the local cavity phenomenon, and ensuring the normal operation of the washing system.

[0067] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, a first slot 211 is provided on the first wave-breaking plate 210, and the first slot 211 is provided at the first edge of the first wave-breaking plate 210 and extends toward the second edge; a second slot 221 is provided on the second wave-breaking plate 220, and the second slot 221 is provided at the second edge of the second wave-breaking plate 220 and extends toward the first edge; the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 are plugged in through the first slot 211 and the second slot 221.

[0068] By plugging the first slot 211 and the second slot 221 , the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 do not require additional fixing parts during the connection process, which simplifies the installation process and also facilitates maintenance or replacement of the wave-breaking plates.

[0069] At the same time, the plug-in structure ensures the stable position of the wave-breaking plate in the water tank. Even if the vehicle encounters bumps or sudden braking during driving, the wave-breaking plate can maintain its shape and position, effectively controlling liquid shaking, reducing water wave noise, and improving driving and riding comfort.

[0070] In order to improve the stability of the wave-proof component 200, as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting structure 300 is further provided on the inner wall of the box body 100, and the wave-proof component 200 is connected to the box body 100 through the limiting structure 300, thereby improving the impact resistance of the wave-proof component 200, and the wave-proof component 200 can also be stably supported in the accommodating cavity 101 when the liquid shakes.

[0071] Specifically, the tank body 100 comprises a bottom wall 110, side walls 120 circumferentially extending from the bottom wall 110, and a top wall 130 atop the side walls 120. The retaining structure 300 comprises retaining grooves in the side walls 120, into which the wave-breaking plate is inserted. By plugging into the retaining grooves, the wave-breaking plate is secured to the retaining grooves, resisting the forces generated by sloshing liquid within the water tank and maintaining its position. Furthermore, this plug-in connection allows for quick connection of the wave-breaking plate to the tank body 100, improving assembly line efficiency.

[0072] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, there are multiple limiting grooves, and the ends of each wave-breaking plate are inserted into the limiting grooves, so that the supporting strength of the wave-breaking plate is ensured by fixing the ends of each wave-breaking plate, thereby improving the impact resistance of the wave-breaking plate.

[0073] Exemplarily, the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 can each include multiple ones, and each end of the first wave-breaking plate 210 and each second wave-breaking plate 220 is equipped with a limiting groove, so that the first wave-breaking plate 210 and the second wave-breaking plate 220 can be stably connected.

[0074] In some embodiments, the limiting groove can be directly provided on the inner surface of the box side wall 120. In other embodiments, limiting ribs can also be provided on the inner surface of the box side wall 120, and the limiting groove is provided on the limiting ribs, thereby achieving a fixing effect on the wave-breaking plate.

[0075] The water tank can be made of metal or injection molded. If the water tank is made of metal, the tank body 100 can include a cover and a tank body. The wave-breaking plate can be welded to the tank body, and the cover and the tank body can also be welded. If the water tank is injection molded, the wave-breaking plate can be integrally injection molded with the tank body.

[0076] It should also be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, in addition to being connected through the flow groove, each wave-breaking plate is also provided with a connecting hole 240, which connects adjacent spaces, so that the multiple spaces are connected, so that the liquid can be evenly distributed in the multiple spaces.

[0077] In some embodiments, the water outlet 103 is disposed on the bottom wall 110 of the box so that the water outlet 103 is maintained at the lowest position of the entire box body 100 , thereby allowing the washing liquid to enter the water outlet 103 under the action of gravity.

[0078] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the water tank 10 further includes a washing pump 400 , which is connected to the water outlet 103 . The washing liquid can be pumped to the front windshield through the washing pump 400 to achieve a spray cleaning function.

[0079] On the other hand, the present application also provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned water tank. In view of the advantages of the above-mentioned water tank being able to prevent waves and having low noise, the vehicle including the water tank has the advantages of low noise and high comfort.

The above are only preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of the patent of this application.
