[0037] It should be noted that the frame connecting portion 11 is connected to the frame 200 of the vehicle away from the front and rear center line, that is, the frame connecting portion 11 is connected to the outer side of the frame 200, and further does not occupy the space on the inner side and the upper side of the frame 200, facilitating the assembly and layout of other chassis structural members.
[0038] When the steering oil tank 100 is installed on the oil tank connecting portion 21, the steering oil tank 100 is located on the side of the adapter portion 12 away from the frame 200, that is, the steering oil tank 100 is arranged on the side of the bracket 1 away from the frame 200, so that the steering oil tank 100 does not occupy the space on the inner side and the upper side of the frame 200, further improving the convenience of assembly and layout of other chassis structural members.
[0039] The adapter matching portion 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the adapter portion 12 facing the frame 200, which is equivalent to arranging the connection between the adapter matching portion 22 and the adapter portion 12 on the side of the bracket 1 close to the frame 200, and further shortening the distance between the center of gravity of the steering oil tank 100 and the frame 200, having the effect of reducing the moment of force exerted by the steering oil tank 100 on the oil tank mounting assembly, and further achieving the purpose of improving the rigidity of the whole steering oil tank mounting assembly.
[0040] The bracket 1 is a centrally symmetric structure formed integrally, which not only has good processability and is easy to manufacture, but also is beneficial to improve the strength of the bracket 1 and avoid fatigue fracture of the bracket 1.
[0041] The steering oil tank mounting assembly of the embodiment has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and strong universality, solves the problem of fracture of the existing steering oil tank 100 bracket 1 at a lower cost under the premise that the strength of the steering oil tank mounting assembly meets the requirements and the existing process level is allowed, and has a wide application prospect.
[0042] Optionally, the bracket 1 is formed by stamping a plate, which not only has a simple process and is easy to manufacture, but also has no welding points, greater strength, and will not crack due to vehicle vibration.
[0043] Optionally, the width of the bracket 1 is constant in the vertical direction, that is, the width of the bracket 1 from top to bottom is constant, which further facilitates processing and manufacturing while ensuring the strength of the bracket 1.
[0044] Optionally, the adapter matching portion 22 and the adapter portion 12 are fixedly connected by welding. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the adapter matching portion 22 and the adapter portion 12 can be fixedly connected by using the existing welding process, which is simple in process, easy to manufacture, and can ensure that the strength of the steering oil tank mounting assembly meets the requirements.
[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the adapter matching portion 22 and the adapter portion 12 can also be connected and fixed by using locking assemblies such as bolts and nuts.
[0046] Optionally, the frame connecting portion 11 and the frame 200 are detachably connected via locking components such as bolts and nuts, so as to facilitate assembly of the bracket 1 and the vehicle.
[0047] Optionally, the frame connecting portion 11 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes for passing bolts, and the plurality of bolt holes are arranged at intervals, thereby facilitating improving the installation stability of the bracket 1 .
[0048] Exemplarily, two bolt holes are provided. Of course, in other embodiments, one bolt hole may be provided, or three, four, five, or even more bolt holes may be provided, which is not limited here.
[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the frame connection portion 11 and the frame 200 may also be connected by welding or other methods.

[0051] For example, the middle connecting portion 13 is tilted so that the adapter portion 12 is closer to the front-rear center line than the frame connecting portion 11 , resulting in a simple structure and easy manufacture.
[0052] Optionally, the bracket 1 is provided with flanges 14 on both sides along the front-back center line, so as to increase the rigidity of the bracket 1 through the flanges 14 and avoid the problem of fatigue fracture of the bracket 1.
[0053] It should be noted that, since the bracket 1 is an integrally formed structural component, that is, the frame connecting portion 11 , the transition portion 12 , the intermediate connecting portion 13 and the flange 14 are all integrally formed.
[0054] Furthermore, since the bracket 1 is a centrally symmetrical structure, it can be understood that the widths of the flanges 14 on both sides of the bracket 1 are the same.
[0055] Optionally, the flange 14 extends continuously from the top of the bracket 1 to the bottom of the bracket 1, that is, for the flange 14 on one side of the bracket 1, the flange 14 is a continuous whole, and the top of the flange 14 is flush with the top of the bracket 1, and the bottom of the flange 14 is flush with the bottom of the bracket 1, so as to further improve the strength of the bracket 1.
[0056] Optionally, the flange 14 is located on the side of the bracket 1 facing away from the frame 200. This arrangement can, on the one hand, prevent the flange 14 from interfering with the bracket 2 and the frame 200, and on the other hand, allow the flange 14 on one side of the bracket 1 to form a continuous whole extending from the top end of the bracket 1 to the bottom end of the bracket 1.
[0057] Optionally, a side surface of the flange 14 facing away from the bracket 1 is connected to the top surface of the bracket 1 via a first arcuate surface 141 , thereby facilitating improvement of the strength of the bracket 1 .
[0058] For example, a first curved surface 141 is formed by making an arc-shaped chamfer at the top end of the flange 14 , which is simple in process and easy to manufacture.
[0059] Optionally, a side surface of the flange 14 facing away from the bracket 1 is connected to the bottom end surface of the bracket 1 via a second arc-shaped surface 142 , thereby facilitating improvement of the strength of the bracket 1 .
[0060] For example, an arc-shaped chamfer is formed at the bottom end of the flange 14 to form the second arc-shaped surface 142 . The process is simple and easy to manufacture.
[0061] Specifically, the radii of the arc-shaped chamfers at the top and bottom ends of the flange 14 are the same.
[0062] Optionally, the adapter fitting part 22 includes two adapter structures 221 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and both adapter structures 221 are fixedly connected to the adapter part 12, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the bracket 2 and the support 1, and is also beneficial to reducing the dead weight of the bracket 2, and further reducing the risk of cracking at the connection between the adapter fitting part 22 and the adapter part 12.
[0063] Optionally, two oil tank connection parts 21 are provided, and the two oil tank connection parts 21 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 1 along the front and rear center line. On the one hand, it is beneficial to stably install the steering oil tank 100 on the bracket 2, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to improve the force uniformity of the bracket 1 and reduce the risk of breakage.
[0064] In this embodiment, the adapter matching portion 22 is a first annular frame, and two sides of the first annular frame spaced apart in the vertical direction are the two adapter structures 221 .
[0065] Furthermore, the oil tank connection portion 21 is a second annular frame, with two second annular frames connected to opposite ends of the first annular frame in the horizontal direction. This arrangement allows the bracket 2 to provide stable support for the steering oil tank 100 while improving the uniformity of force applied to the bracket 1. Furthermore, the bracket 2 has a low deadweight, which reduces the risk of cracking at the connection between the adapter portion 22 and the adapter portion 12.
[0066] Exemplarily, the first annular frame and the second annular frame are both rectangular annular. Of course, in other embodiments, the first annular frame and the second annular frame can also be annular in other shapes, such as a square annular shape, a circular annular shape, etc.
