Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator set technology, and in particular to a generator set water tank support structure. Background Technology

[0002] A radiator is a device used to dissipate heat from a generator set. The coolant or water circulating in the radiator transfers heat from the engine to the radiator fins through heat exchange. The heat is then drawn away by a fan. The cooling of the generator set relies almost entirely on the radiator and the cooling fan. However, when the weather is hot, the air temperature is high, and the fan alone is insufficient to remove the heat from the radiator fins. This can easily lead to generator failure due to inadequate heat dissipation.

[0003] The existing technology (CN215633298U) discloses a water tank for a generator set, including a support plate, a water tank body, and a fan. The water tank body and the fan are both fixedly installed on the support plate. The air outlet of the fan faces the heat dissipation fins of the water tank body. A vertical support rod is installed on the support plate, and two spray pipes are horizontally installed on the support rod. The two spray pipes are respectively located on the outer side of the upper and lower sides of the water tank body and are both located between the air outlet of the fan and the water tank body. The two spray pipes are parallel to the upper and lower sides of the water tank body. Each spray pipe is equipped with multiple atomizing nozzles. The atomizing nozzles on the spray pipe at the upper end of the support rod are opposite to the atomizing nozzles on the spray pipe at the lower end of the support rod. The two spray pipes are respectively connected to an external water supply end through pipes. This water tank has high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] However, the water tank in the above solution lacks horizontal support. Since the water tank is heavy when filled with water, it has a certain inertia. If there is no horizontal support, the water tank is prone to tilting in situations such as sudden braking, which can cause deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, the deformation can lead to misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and causing inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for a generator set water tank, which aims to solve the problem that existing generator sets use water tanks, which lack horizontal support. Because the water tank body is heavy after being filled with water, it has a certain inertia. If there is no horizontal support, the water tank body is prone to tilting under sudden braking or other situations, causing deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, deformation may even lead to misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and causing inconvenience in use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a generator set water tank support structure, including a water tank body and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a base and two support members. The base is disposed on one side of the water tank body, and the two support members are respectively disposed on both sides of the water tank body. Each support member includes a mounting foot, two connecting bolts, a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, an inclined plate, and a limiting part. The mounting foot is fixedly connected to the water tank body and located at the bottom of the water tank body. The two connecting bolts pass through the mounting foot and are threadedly connected to the base, and are respectively located at both ends of the base. The first mounting plate is fixedly connected to the base and located on one side of the base. The second mounting plate is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate and located on one side of the first mounting plate. One end of the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate, and the other end of the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and located between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. The limiting part is located on the side of the second mounting plate.

[0007] The limiting part includes a support plate, a spring, a fixed column, a telescopic column, and a limiting plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and is located on the left side of the second mounting plate. The spring is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and is located on the right side of the second mounting plate. The fixed column is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and is located on one side of the second mounting plate. The telescopic column is slidably connected to the fixed column and is located on one side of the fixed column. The limiting plate is fixedly connected to the spring and the telescopic column, and is located on top of the spring.

[0008] The limiting part further includes a fixing member, a rotating ring, and a limiting rod. The fixing member is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and is located on one side of the second mounting plate. The rotating ring is rotatably connected to the fixing member and is located on one side of the fixing member. The limiting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating ring and is located on one side of the rotating ring.

[0009] The supporting component further includes a supporting column, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and located on one side of the base.

[0010] The supporting member further includes a top plate, which is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate and located on one side of the second mounting plate.

[0011] This utility model discloses a generator set water tank support structure. The generator set is installed on the left side of the base, and the water tank body is installed on the top of the base. The water tank body is a device for cooling the generator set. Coolant or water circulating within the water tank body transfers heat from the engine to the radiator fins through heat exchange. After filling the water tank body with coolant or water, its overall weight is relatively large. To prevent the water tank body from tilting due to inertia during sudden braking, the bottom of the water tank body has two mounting feet. These mounting feet are threadedly connected to the base via connecting bolts, thus fixing and restricting the position of the water tank body. Furthermore, a first mounting plate is fixedly connected to the base. The second mounting plate is located on both sides of the top of the water tank body and is restricted by the limiting part. The first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are connected by the inclined plate. The bottom of the water tank body is restricted by the mounting feet, and the top is restricted by the second mounting plate. The above solution solves the problem that existing generator sets use water tanks, which lack horizontal support. Since the water tank body is heavy after being filled with water, it has a certain inertia. If there is no horizontal support, the water tank body is prone to tilting under sudden braking and other situations, causing deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, deformation may cause misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and inconvenience in use. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0020] This utility model provides a generator set water tank support structure including a water tank body 101 and a support assembly 102. The support assembly 102 includes a base 103 and two support members 105. The support member 105 includes mounting feet 106, two connecting bolts 107, a first mounting plate 108, a second mounting plate 109, an inclined plate 110, a limiting part 111, a support column 120, and a top plate 121. The limiting part 111 includes a support plate 112, a spring 113, a fixing column 114, a telescopic column 115, a limiting plate 116, a fixing member 117, a rotating ring 118, and a limiting rod 119. The aforementioned solution solves the problem that existing generator set water tanks have a large weight after being filled with water, resulting in a certain inertia. If there is a lack of horizontal support, the water tank body 101 is prone to tilting under conditions such as sudden braking, causing deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, deformation may lead to misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and causing inconvenience in use.

[0021] In this specific embodiment, the base 103 is disposed on one side of the water tank body 101, and the two supporting members 105 are respectively disposed on both sides of the water tank body 101. Each supporting member 105 includes a mounting foot 106, two connecting bolts 107, a first mounting plate 108, a second mounting plate 109, an inclined plate 110, and a limiting part 111. The mounting foot 106 is fixedly connected to the water tank body 101 and located at the bottom of the water tank body 101. The two connecting bolts 107 pass through the mounting foot 106 and are threadedly connected to the base 103, respectively located at both ends of the base 103. The first mounting plate 108 is fixedly connected to the base 103. The second mounting plate 109 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 108 and located on one side of the base 103. One end of the inclined plate 110 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 108, and the other end of the inclined plate 110 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located between the first mounting plate 108 and the second mounting plate 109. The limiting part 111 is located on the side of the second mounting plate 109. The generator set is installed on the left side of the base 103, and the water tank body 101 is installed on the right side of the base 103 and is close to the generator set. The water tank body 101 is a device for heat dissipation of the generator set. The coolant or water circulating inside the water tank body 101 transfers heat from the engine to the radiator fins through heat exchange. After adding coolant or water, the overall weight of the water tank body 101 is relatively large. To prevent the water tank body 101 from tilting due to inertia during sudden braking, the bottom of the water tank body 101 has two mounting feet 106. These mounting feet 106 are threadedly connected to the base 103 via connecting bolts 107, thus fixing and restricting the position of the water tank body 101. Furthermore, the first mounting plate 108 is fixedly connected to the base 103, and the second mounting plate 109 is located on both sides of the top of the water tank body 101, secured by the limiting part 11. The first mounting plate 108 and the second mounting plate 109 are connected by the inclined plate 110. The bottom of the water tank body 101 is restricted by the mounting feet 106, and the top is restricted by the second mounting plate 109. This solution solves the problem that existing generator sets use water tanks, which lack horizontal support. Because the water tank body 101 is heavy when filled with water, it has a certain inertia. If there is no horizontal support, the water tank body 101 is prone to tilting during sudden braking or other situations, causing deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, deformation may lead to misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and inconvenience in use.

[0022] The support plate 112 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located on the left side of the second mounting plate 109. The spring 113 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located on the right side of the second mounting plate 109. The fixing post 114 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located on one side of the second mounting plate 109. The telescopic post 115 is slidably connected to the fixing post 114 and located on one side of the fixing post 114. The limiting plate 116 is fixedly connected to the spring 113 and the telescopic post 115, and located on top of the spring 113. The support plate 112 is fixed to the left side of the second mounting plate 109. When installing the water tank body 101, the limiting plate 116 is pushed to retract the spring 113. The retraction of the spring 113 will cause the telescopic column 115 to retract into the fixed column 114. Then, the water tank body 101 is installed in place after it abuts against the support plate 112. The connecting bolt 107 at the bottom is then tightened. Subsequently, the spring 113, due to its elastic deformation, causes the telescopic column 115 to converge in the middle of the tank. Only in the front-back direction can the spring 113 be driven to retract. After installation, the telescopic column 115 keeps the tank body 101 vertical within the fixed column 114, restricting the position of the water tank body 101 and thus preventing the water tank body 101 from sliding due to inertia.

[0023] Secondly, the fixing member 117 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located on one side of the second mounting plate 109. The rotating ring 118 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 117 and located on one side of the fixing member 117. The limiting rod 119 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 118 and located on one side of the rotating ring 118. In order to strengthen the fixation of the water tank body 101, the fixing member 117 is fixed on the outside of the second mounting plate 109. The rotating ring 118 can rotate in place on the fixing member 117. The rotation of the fixing member 117 will limit the limiting rod 119 horizontally between the two second mounting plates 109 for secondary positioning, preventing excessive impact force from causing the water tank body 101 to tilt, causing deformation and breakage of the connecting pipe, etc. The double limiting safety supports the position of the water tank body 101, ensuring the position of the water tank body 101 during emergency braking.

[0024] Meanwhile, one end of the support column 120 is fixedly connected to the base 103, and the other end of the support column 120 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and located on one side of the base 103. The support column 120 connects the second mounting plate 109 and the base 103 to form a triangular support. The stability of the triangle ensures that the position of the water tank body 101 will not tilt, thereby avoiding breakage or deformation of the connecting pipes, etc.

[0025] In addition, the top plate 121 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 109 and is located on one side of the second mounting plate 109. The top plate 121 is located on top of the second mounting plate 109. During emergency braking, the top plate 121 and the mounting components restrict the position of the water tank body 101 and prevent it from tilting due to its own weight and inertia.

[0026] In using this utility model, the water tank body 101 is installed on the right side of the base 103 and is close to the generator set. The water tank body 101 is a device for cooling the generator set. The coolant or water circulating inside the water tank body 101 transfers the engine's heat to the radiator fins through heat exchange. After the coolant or water is injected into the water tank body 101, the overall weight is relatively large. To prevent the water tank body 101 from tilting due to inertia during sudden braking, the bottom of the water tank body 101 has two mounting feet 106. The mounting feet 106 are threadedly connected to the base 103 through the connecting bolts 107, fixing and restricting the position of the water tank body 101. Secondly, the first mounting plate 108 is fixedly connected to the base 103, and the second mounting plate 109 is located on the top of both sides of the water tank body 101, and is secured by the spring 113. The telescopic column 115 is deformed to restrict the position of the water tank body 101. Then, the limiting rod 119 is rotated to provide double restriction between the two second mounting plates 109. The first mounting plate 108 and the second mounting plate 109 are connected by the inclined plate 110. The bottom of the water tank body 101 is restricted by the mounting foot 106, and the top is restricted by the second mounting plate 109 and the top plate 121. Through the above solution, the problem of the lack of horizontal support in the water tank of the existing generator set is solved. Since the water tank body 101 is heavy after being filled with water, it has a certain inertia. If there is no horizontal support, the water tank body 101 is prone to tilting in the event of sudden braking, which can cause deformation of the connecting pipes. In severe cases, deformation can lead to misalignment or breakage of the pipes, resulting in liquid leakage and inconvenience in use.

[0027] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
