[0034] This invention provides a reservoir connection structure 100, a reservoir assembly, and a vehicle. The reservoir assembly includes a first reservoir 40, a second reservoir 50, and the reservoir connection structure 100 of this invention. The vehicle includes a body and the reservoir assembly of this invention. Both the first reservoir 40 and the second reservoir 50 are oil storage containers for vehicles, and oil reservoirs are typically located in the front compartment of the vehicle. The reservoir connection structure 100 is used to assemble the first reservoir 40 and the second reservoir 50 on a sub-assembly line to form the reservoir assembly. The reservoir assembly is then installed as an independent assembly on the final assembly line to the front compartment structural component 60 of the vehicle body.

[0035] See Figure 1 The liquid container connection structure 100 of this utility model includes a depth limiting partition 10, a first connecting member 20, and a second connecting member 30. The depth limiting partition 10 includes a first side 11 and a second side 12 arranged opposite to each other. The first connecting member 20 is connected to the depth limiting partition 10 and forms a supporting space 131 with the first side 11. The second connecting member 30 is connected to the depth limiting partition 10 and forms a hugging space 132 with the second side 12.

[0036] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This indicates a kind of ability to and Figure 1 The liquid container connection structure 100 shown is used to assemble and connect the first liquid container 40. Figure 3 This indicates a kind of ability to and Figure 1 The liquid container connection structure 100 shown is used to assemble and connect the second liquid container 50. The liquid container connection structure 100 of this invention allows at least a portion of the first liquid container 40 to be placed in the supporting space 131, and allows at least a portion of the second liquid container 50 to be placed in the embracing space 132.

[0037] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This illustrates a method by Figure 1 The liquid container connection mechanism shown Figure 2 The first liquid vessel 40 shown and Figure 3 The second liquid reservoir 50 shown is assembled into a single liquid reservoir assembly. When at least a portion of the first liquid reservoir 40 is placed in the supporting space 131 and at least a portion of the second liquid reservoir 50 is placed in the embracing space 132, the first connector 20 can be connected to the first liquid reservoir 40, and the second connector 30 can be connected to the second liquid reservoir 50.

[0038] In the case that at least a part of the first liquid container 40 is placed in the holding space 131, the liquid container connecting structure 100 can carry the first liquid container 40 through the depth-limiting partition 10 and / or the first connecting member 20, so as to form a liquid container unit with the first liquid container 40; in the case that at least a part of the second liquid container 50 is placed in the holding space 132, the liquid container connecting structure 100 can be attached to the second liquid container 50 through the depth-limiting partition 10 and / or the second connecting member 30, so that the second liquid container 50 carries the liquid container unit formed by the first liquid container 40 and the liquid container connecting structure 100 through at least the second connecting member 30. Finally, the liquid container unit and the second liquid container 50 are assembled into a liquid container assembly.

[0039] The first liquid container 40, the second liquid container 50 and at least one of the liquid container connecting structure 100 have an assembly connecting part 52 for connecting the vehicle body. In some embodiments, the second liquid container 50 has the assembly connecting part 52 and serves as the female body for connecting the vehicle body, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The assembly connecting part 52 can be fixedly arranged at an end of the second liquid container 50 that is relatively far away from the depth-limiting partition 10 and the first liquid container 40, and can be connected to the front compartment structural member 60 that is carried by the front bumper beam in the front compartment space.

[0040] It can be understood that the vehicle body structure for mounting the liquid container assembly is not limited to the front compartment structural member 60, and the liquid container assembly can also be mounted on other vehicle body structural members, as long as the liquid container assembly is finally located in the front compartment space and the liquid container assembly is relatively close to the top opening of the front compartment space, so as to facilitate the driver to supplement the oil in the first liquid container 40 and the second liquid container 50 and facilitate the worker to install the liquid container assembly.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 20 protrudes relative to the first side 11 and extends in a direction away from the depth-limiting partition 10, the second connecting member 30 protrudes relative to the second side 12 and extends in a direction away from the depth-limiting partition 10, the end of the first connecting member 20 forms an opening of the holding space 131, the opening of the holding space 131 is arranged opposite to the first side 11, the end of the second connecting member 30 forms an opening of the holding space 132, the opening of the holding space 132 is arranged opposite to the second side 12. The end of the first connecting member 20 is an end of the first connecting member 20 away from the depth-limiting partition 10, and the end of the second connecting member 30 is an end of the second connecting member 30 away from the depth-limiting partition 10.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4The depth-limiting partition 10 defines the maximum depth of the holding space 131, i.e. the maximum distance of the first liquid container 40 from the first side 11 in the length direction of the first connecting member 20, and also defines the maximum depth of the embracing space 132, i.e. the maximum distance of the second liquid container 50 from the second side 12 in the length direction of the second connecting member 30. In some embodiments, the first side 11 and the second side 12 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, i.e. along the Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system, and the first side 11 and the second side 12 are parallel to each other, and the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 extend outwardly in directions perpendicular to the first side 11 and the second side 12, respectively, and the length directions of the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are perpendicular to the first side 11 and the second side 12.

[0043] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the vehicle coordinate system is a spatial rectangular coordinate system, including a Z-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis, when the vehicle is stopped or travels in a straight line on a horizontal road surface, the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis, the X-axis direction is parallel to the straight line direction of the vehicle, and the Y-axis direction is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the straight line direction of the vehicle.

[0044] Optionally, as shown in the liquid container assembly, Figure 4 when the bottom of the first liquid container 40 abuts against the first side 11 and the side of the second liquid container 50 opposite to the bottom abuts against the second side 12, the distance of the first liquid container 40 from the first side 11 in the length direction of the first connecting member 20 reaches the maximum, the distance of the second liquid container 50 from the second side 12 in the length direction of the second connecting member 30 reaches the maximum, and at least part of the first liquid container 40, the depth-limiting partition 10 and at least part of the second liquid container 50 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction of the first side 11 and the second side 12.

[0045] When the liquid container assembly is installed to the vehicle body and the vehicle is located on a horizontal ground or a horizontal road surface, the first side 11 and the second side 12 preferably extend along the horizontal direction, at this time, the part of the first liquid container 40 located in the holding space 131, the depth-limiting partition 10 and the part of the second liquid container 50 located in the embracing space 132 are arranged in sequence along the Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system and gradually approach the ground, and generally, the first liquid container 40, the depth-limiting partition 10 and the second liquid container 50 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction and gradually approach the ground. In this way, the liquid container assembly is more compact, the utilization rate of the front compartment space in the Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system is improved, and the front compartment space in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system is saved.

[0046] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first side 11 and the second side 12 can also be non-parallel, the length direction of the first connecting piece 20 and the length direction of the second connecting piece 30 can also be different, the length direction of the first connecting piece 20 can also be non-perpendicular to the first side 11, the length direction of the second connecting piece 30 can also be non-perpendicular to the second side 12, and the first liquid tank 40, the depth-limiting partition 10, and the second liquid tank 50 can also not necessarily be strictly arranged in sequence in the Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system, as long as the first liquid tank 40 and the second liquid tank 50 are respectively located at different height positions in the front compartment space, and the height of the first liquid tank 40 is greater than the height of the second liquid tank 50.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first liquid tank 40 is a brake liquid tank, the second liquid tank 50 is an expansion liquid tank and has a mounting connecting part 52, the first liquid tank 40, the depth-limiting partition 10, and the second liquid tank 50 are arranged in sequence in the part of the embracing space 132, and the mounting connecting part 52 is arranged at the end of the second liquid tank 50 away from the first liquid tank 40 and the depth-limiting partition 10 and is mounted to the side of the front compartment structure 60 away from the ground. Referring to Figure 3-4 , the volume of the first liquid tank 40 is less than the volume of the second liquid tank 50, the outer side of the second liquid tank 50 forms an avoiding accommodation space 55, the shape of the first liquid tank 40 is approximately cuboid, the shape of the second liquid tank 50 is approximately L-shaped, the first liquid tank 40 is located in the avoiding accommodation space 55, and the shape of the liquid tank assembly is close to cuboid, and the shape of the liquid tank assembly is more regular and compact.

[0048] Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the avoiding accommodation space 55 is a stepped groove, the top of the first liquid tank 40 has a brake liquid injection end 41, the top of the second liquid tank 50 has a cooling liquid injection end 51, the cooling liquid injection end 51 is higher than the step surface of the stepped groove formed by the avoiding accommodation space 55, and the step surface of the stepped groove and the top of the second liquid tank 50 are arranged away from the bottom of the second liquid tank 50. As Figure 5 shown, when the liquid tank assembly is connected to the front compartment structure 60 through the mounting connecting part 52 at the bottom of the second liquid tank 50, the brake liquid injection end 41 and the cooling liquid injection end 51 are both located at the top end of the liquid tank assembly, and the top end of the liquid tank assembly is formed by the top of the first liquid tank 40 and the top of the second liquid tank 50.

[0049] In this way, after the front compartment space is opened, the brake liquid can be directly poured into the first liquid tank 40 through the brake liquid injection end 41, and the cooling liquid can be directly poured into the second liquid tank 50 through the cooling liquid injection end 51, thereby improving the operation convenience of supplementing the oil in the liquid tank assembly.

[0050] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the avoiding accommodation space 55 can also be other shaped recesses or recessed spaces, the second liquid container 50 can also be a concave shape or other shapes, in addition, when the volume of the first liquid container 40 is increased, the avoiding accommodation space 55 can also be cancelled, for example, when the first liquid container 40 and the second liquid container 50 are both cuboids and the volumes of the two are close, the first liquid container 40, the depth-limiting partition 10 and the second liquid container 50 can be directly arranged in sequence in layers, at this time the avoiding accommodation space 55 can be cancelled, and finally the liquid container assembly obtained by assembling the first liquid container 40, the depth-limiting partition 10 and the second liquid container 50 is approximately a cuboid.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first connecting piece 20 comprises at least one of a first tab and a first elastic buckle, the first liquid container 40 has at least one of a first slot and a first buckle portion 42, the first slot is for the first tab to be inserted to achieve the connection and locking of the first connecting piece 20 to the first liquid container 40, and the first buckle portion 42 is used for the first elastic buckle to be clamped and fixed to achieve the connection and locking of the first connecting piece 20 to the first liquid container 40. Optionally, the first tab is detachably inserted into the first slot, and the first elastic buckle is elastically movable relative to the depth-limiting partition 10 under the action of an external force and is detachably clamped in the first buckle portion 42.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1-2 , Figure 4 The first elastic buckle is configured as two and the shapes of the two first elastic buckles are close, each first elastic buckle comprises a first baffle 21 and a first elastic sheet 22, the first baffle 21 is bently connected to the first side 11 and extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the first side 11 to be away from the first side 11, the length direction of the first connecting piece 20 is the height direction in which the first baffle 21 protrudes out of the first side 11 in the vertical direction of the first side 11, and the first baffle 21 and the first side 11 jointly constitute a supporting space 131 between the first baffles 21 of the two first elastic buckles, the end of the first baffle 21 away from the first side 11 being the end of the first connecting piece 20, and the opening of the supporting space 131 being the gap between the ends of the two first connecting pieces 20.

[0053] The first baffle 21 is provided with a back-off hole 23, and the end of the first elastic sheet 22 away from the first side 11 is connected to the first baffle 21, and the other end of the first elastic sheet 22 close to the first side 11 has two states, wherein:

[0054] When the first elastic sheet 22 is in the first state, the end of the first elastic sheet 22 close to the first side 11 protrudes out of the inner side of the first baffle 21 and enters the supporting space 131;

[0055] When the first spring 22 is in the second state, the end of the first spring 22 that is relatively close to the first side 11 exits from the support space 131 and retracts into the retraction hole 23.

[0056] The inner side of the first baffle 21 refers to the side of the first baffle 21 used to construct the supporting space 131. When the first liquid container 40 is placed into the supporting space 131, the inner side of the first baffle 21 is the side of the first baffle 21 closest to the first liquid container 40. Figure 1 In the liquid container connection structure 100 shown, the inner sides of the two first baffles 21 are arranged facing each other. The switching between the first spring piece 22 and the second state is achieved by the elastic rotation of the first spring piece 22 relative to the first baffle 21. Under the action of external force, the first spring piece 22 rotates around the end of the first spring piece 22 connected to the first baffle 21 to switch to the second state. After the external force acting on the first spring piece 22 is removed, the first spring piece 22 returns to the first state.

[0057] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first liquid container 40 has a first latching part 42 and two spaced-apart claws 43 protruding from its side. The protruding direction of the first latching part 42 and the claws 43 is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the first side 11. The first latching part 42 and the side of the body of the first liquid container 40 form a first latching step. When the first elastic latching connection is placed into the first liquid container 40 in the supporting space 131, the first baffle 21 and the side of the body of the first liquid container 40 are arranged facing each other, preferably in close contact. The first spring piece 22 is in the first state and abuts against the side of the first latching step away from the depth limiting separator 10. The side of the first latching step away from the depth limiting separator 10 is the side of the first latching part 42 away from the depth limiting separator 10. The first baffle 21 passes through the first slot between the two claws 43 and is clamped and fixed by the two claws 43.

[0058] With this configuration, the assembly and connection of the first liquid reservoir 40 and the liquid reservoir connection structure 100 are more convenient. The two can be fixed by the first elastic buckle and the first buckle part 42, without the need for fasteners and fastening tools. This makes it easier for workers to assemble the liquid reservoir unit by hand, reducing the difficulty and time required for workers to assemble the liquid reservoir unit. The assembly process of the liquid reservoir unit is simple and easy to master quickly.

[0059] When assembling the liquid kettle unit, first, the bottom of the first liquid kettle 40 is passed through the opening of the supporting space 131, then pressure is applied to the first liquid kettle 40 to make the bottom of the first liquid kettle 40 close to the depth-limiting partition 10, as the bottom of the first liquid kettle 40 gradually closes to the first side 11, the first liquid kettle 40 is pressed into the supporting space 131 with increasing depth, during which the first baffle 21 passes between the two clamping jaws 43, the first elastic sheet 22 is in the second state under the pressure of the first liquid kettle 40, until the end of the first elastic sheet 22 close to the first side 11 switches to the first state and abuts against the side of the first clamping step away from the depth-limiting partition 10, and finally the first side 11 abuts against the bottom of the first liquid kettle 40.

[0060] Figure 4 In the illustrated liquid kettle assembly, the depth-limiting partition 10 abuts against the bottom of the first liquid kettle 40 through the first side 11, and the first elastic sheet 22 abuts against the side of the first clamping step away from the depth-limiting partition 10, thereby realizing that the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 limits the freedom of the first liquid kettle 40 along the length direction of the first connecting piece 20, and the two spaced first baffles 21 respectively located on the opposite sides of the first liquid kettle 40 realize that the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 limits the lateral freedom of the first liquid kettle 40, and the two clamping jaws 43 clamping and fixing the first baffles 21 also realize that the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 limits the lateral freedom of the first liquid kettle 40. The lateral direction of the first liquid kettle 40 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first connecting piece 20.

[0061] In other embodiments, the number of first elastic buckles can also be one, three or more, and the shapes and structures of the plurality of first elastic buckles can also be different, for example, in the embodiment in which the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 has two first elastic buckles, one of the first elastic buckles is formed only by the first baffle 21 and cancels the first elastic sheet 22, and the other first elastic buckle includes the first baffle 21 and the first elastic sheet 22.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second connecting piece 30 includes at least one of a second insertion sheet 31 and a second elastic buckle 32, the second liquid kettle 50 has at least one of a second insertion slot 53 and a second buckle part 54, the second insertion slot 53 is for the second insertion sheet 31 to be inserted to realize the connection and locking of the second connecting piece 30 to the second liquid kettle 50, and the second buckle part 54 is used for the second elastic buckle 32 to be clamped and fixed to realize the connection and locking of the second connecting piece 30 to the second liquid kettle 50. Optionally, the second insertion sheet 31 is detachably inserted into the second insertion slot 53, and the second elastic buckle 32 can be elastically moved relative to the depth-limiting partition 10 under external force and is detachably clamped in the second buckle part 54.

[0063] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3-4The second connecting member 30 comprises two second elastic buckles 32 which are similar in shape. Each second elastic buckle 32 extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the second side 12, away from the second side 12. The length direction of the second connecting member 30 is the height direction of the second elastic buckles 32 protruding from the second side 12 in the perpendicular direction of the second side 12. Each second elastic buckle 32 comprises a movable end 321 connected to the second side 12, a clamping side wall 322 for jointly forming a clamping space 132 with the second side 12, and a clamping claw 323 protruding from the clamping side wall 322. The clamping space 132 is located between the clamping side walls 322 of the two second elastic buckles 32. When at least a portion of the second liquid container 50 is placed in the clamping space 132, the two second elastic buckles 32 are located on opposite sides of the second liquid container 50.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Optionally, the clamping claw 323 is located at the end of the second elastic buckle 32 farthest from the second side 12. The end of the second connecting member 30 comprises the end of the second elastic buckle 32 farthest from the second side 12. The opening of the clamping space 132 is formed by the gap between the clamping claws 323 of the two second elastic buckles 32. The movable end 321 of each second elastic buckle 32 can elastically rotate relative to the second side 12 under the action of an external force on the second elastic buckle 32, thereby causing the clamping claw 323 to swing relative to the depth-limiting partition 10 and changing the size of the opening of the clamping space 132.

[0065] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the second liquid container 50 is provided with a second buckling portion 54. The second buckling portion 54 is a flange on the side wall of the body of the second liquid container 50. The protruding direction of the second buckling portion 54 relative to the side wall of the body of the second liquid container 50 is approximately parallel to the extending direction of the second side 12. The second buckling portion 54 and the side wall of the body of the second liquid container 50 form a second clamping step. When a portion of the second liquid container 50 is placed in the clamping space 132, the clamping side wall 322 is arranged opposite to the side wall of the body of the second liquid container 50, preferably abutting against each other. When the second liquid container 50 is placed in the clamping space 132 to the maximum depth, the clamping claw 323 abuts against the side of the second clamping step away from the depth-limiting partition 10. The side of the second clamping step away from the depth-limiting partition 10 is the side of the second buckling portion 54 away from the depth-limiting partition 10. The portion of the second liquid container 50 placed in the clamping space 132 abuts against the second side 12 at this time.

[0066] Further, referring to Figure 3-4The second connecting piece 30 further comprises a second tab 31 bently connected to the depth-limiting partition 10, the second tab 31 extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the second side 12 so as to be away from the second side 12, the length direction of the second connecting piece 30 is the height direction of the second tab 31 protruding out of the second side 12 in the perpendicular direction of the second side 12, the second tab 31 and the two second elastic buckles 32 are respectively bently connected to different edges of the second side 12, the second tab 31, the two second elastic buckles 32 and the second side 12 jointly form an embracing space 132, the end of the second connecting piece 30 comprises an end of the second tab 31 away from the second side 12, and the second liquid kettle 50 is provided with a second slot 53 on the side thereof, the second tab 31 extends into the second slot 53 and is fixedly matched with the inner wall of the second slot 53.

[0067] In this way, the assembly and connection of the second liquid kettle 50 and the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 are more convenient, the two are only fixedly connected through the second elastic buckles 32 and the second buckle portions 54, and are only fixedly connected through the second tab 31 and the second slot 53, without the aid of fasteners and fastening tools, the workers can complete the assembly of the liquid kettle assembly by hand, the difficulty and time of the workers in assembling the liquid kettle assembly are reduced, and the assembly process of the liquid kettle assembly is simple and convenient for general workers to quickly master.

[0068] When the liquid kettle assembly is assembled, firstly, the side of the second liquid kettle 50 away from the bottom is made to pass through the opening of the embracing space 132, then pressure is applied to the second liquid kettle 50 so that a part of the second liquid kettle 50 is close to the depth-limiting partition 10, or pressure is applied to the liquid kettle unit formed by the first liquid kettle 40 and the liquid kettle connecting structure 100 so that a part of the second liquid kettle 50 is close to the depth-limiting partition 10, as the second liquid kettle 50 gradually approaches the second side 12, the depth of the second liquid kettle 50 pressed into the embracing space 132 increases, during which the second tab 31 is inserted into the second slot 53 and the insertion depth gradually increases, the second liquid kettle 50 passes between the two clamping jaws 323 of the two second elastic buckles 32, under the action of the external force applied by the second liquid kettle 50 to the two clamping jaws 323, the two second elastic buckles 32 are elastically rotated relative to the depth-limiting partition 10 through the respective movable ends 321, the distance between the two clamping jaws 323 is expanded and the opening of the embracing space 132 is expanded, until the clamping jaws 323 reach the side of the second buckle portion 54 away from the depth-limiting partition 10 and the first liquid kettle 40, and finally the clamping jaws 323 abut against the side of the second buckling step away from the depth-limiting partition 10, and the second tab 31 and the inner wall of the second slot 53 are fixedly matched.

[0069] Figure 4In the shown liquid pot assembly, the depth-limiting partition 10 abuts the second liquid pot 50 through the second side 12, and the second elastic buckle 32 abuts the second liquid pot 50 through the clamping jaw 323, away from the depth-limiting partition 10 and the side of the first liquid pot 40, thereby realizing the restriction of the freedom of the second liquid pot 50 along the length direction of the second connecting member 30 by the liquid pot connecting structure 100. The two elastic buckles 32 have their embracing sidewalls 322 respectively located at the opposite sides of the second liquid pot 50, thereby realizing the restriction of the lateral freedom of the second liquid pot 50 by the liquid pot connecting structure 100. The second insertion piece 31 is fixedly fitted with the inner wall of the second insertion slot 53, thereby realizing the restriction of the lateral freedom of the second liquid pot 50 by the liquid pot connecting structure 100. The lateral direction of the second liquid pot 50 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second connecting member 30, and the second insertion piece 31 and the second elastic buckle 32 are respectively connected with different edges of the second side 12, thereby restricting the lateral freedom of the second liquid pot 50 in different directions.

[0070] In some embodiments, the depth-limiting partition 10, the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are integrally formed, such as Figure 1 As shown, the depth-limiting partition 10, the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are all made of the same sheet metal member through stamping, forging, die casting or other integral forming processes. In this way, the liquid pot connecting structure 100 is simpler to form, and has higher structural strength and durability.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the depth-limiting partition 10, the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 can also be separately formed and assembled and fixedly connected to form the liquid pot connecting structure 100.

[0072] The liquid pot connecting structure 100 realizes integrated assembly of the first liquid pot 40 and the second liquid pot 50, workers first put at least a part of the first liquid pot 40 into the supporting space 131 on the partial assembly line and make the first connecting piece 20 connect the first liquid pot 40, so that the liquid pot unit composed of the first liquid pot 40 and the liquid pot connecting structure 100 is obtained, then the workers continue to put at least a part of the second liquid pot 50 into the embracing space 132 on the partial assembly line and make the second connecting piece 30 connect the second liquid pot 50, so that the liquid pot assembly composed of the first liquid pot 40, the liquid pot connecting structure 100 and the second liquid pot 50 is obtained, then the liquid pot assembly is transferred to the general assembly line as an independent assembly body, and is connected through the assembly connecting part 52 and the front cabin structure part 60 of the vehicle body on the general assembly line. The first liquid pot 40 and the second liquid pot 50 are no longer assembled and connected with the vehicle body respectively, not only avoiding the dispersion distribution of the first liquid pot 40 and the second liquid pot 50 in the front cabin space, but also saving the number of support pieces for carrying the first liquid pot 40 and the second liquid pot 50 respectively, the liquid pot assembly with more compact overall structure occupies less space in the front cabin space, and more available volume can be saved in the front cabin space in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system, so as to facilitate the arrangement of other structures, components, wire harnesses and pipelines in the front cabin space; the workers only need to perform cross-line assembly actions in sequence, that is, the workers only need to transfer the liquid pot assembly from the partial assembly line to the general assembly line, without transferring the first liquid pot 40 and the second liquid pot 50 from the partial assembly line to the general assembly line multiple times, and fewer cross-line assembly actions can reduce the labor intensity of the workers, shorten the vehicle production rhythm and improve the vehicle assembly efficiency, and the liquid pot assembly can be assembled on the partial assembly line during the circulation on the general assembly line, which also helps to shorten the rhythm of vehicle assembly operation.
