Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mining dump trucks, and in particular to a fuel tank side protection device, a fuel tank mounting structure, and a mining dump truck. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, mining dump trucks are widely deployed in open-pit mines with extremely harsh working environments and poor road conditions. These areas often have complex and varied terrain, and the surface damage caused by mining activities makes the roads within the mines rugged and uneven, riddled with potholes and bumps of varying sizes. Under such road conditions, mining dump trucks, while undertaking heavy material transportation tasks, have to frequently traverse these highly challenging terrains.
[0003] Even more serious is the fact that, due to ongoing mining operations, numerous stones of varying sizes are scattered on the roads. When vehicles travel at high speeds or make sharp turns or climb inclines, these stones are easily thrown up by the wheels or the vibrations of the vehicle body. These flying stones, with their hard and irregular shapes, pose a potential threat to various parts of the mining dump truck, especially the fuel tank located at the bottom of the vehicle. As a key component storing the vehicle's power source, the integrity and sealing of the fuel tank are crucial. Once impacted by high-speed flying stones, it could lead to serious consequences such as tank damage and fuel leakage, not only affecting the normal operation of the vehicle but also potentially causing safety hazards such as fires and environmental pollution, resulting in significant inconvenience and economic losses for mining operations.

This application also provides a fuel tank mounting structure, which, by employing the fuel tank protection device, achieves both installation and protection functions for the fuel tank. This application further provides a mining dump truck.
[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a fuel tank side protection device, comprising:
[0006] There are two mounting brackets that are spaced apart from each other. The mounting brackets are connected to the frame of the mining dump truck, and the space between the mounting brackets is used to place the fuel tank.
[0007] The vertical beam is connected to the mounting bracket;
[0008] A crossbeam is connected to the vertical beam and is adjacent to one side of the fuel tank;
[0009] The side guard has one end connected to the mounting bracket and the other end connected to the vehicle frame or the fuel tank mounting structure. The side guard is adjacent to the other two sides of the fuel tank.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: by forming a protective structure around the fuel tank through the fuel tank side protection device, the probability of stones hitting the fuel tank is reduced, the shaking of the fuel tank is reduced, thereby improving the protection performance of the fuel tank.
[0011] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows:
[0012] In one embodiment of this application: the mounting bracket includes: a vertical plate, a horizontal plate, and a diagonal brace.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a side protection device for a fuel tank includes: a mounting bracket 1, a vertical beam 2, a horizontal beam 3, and a side protection component 4. There are two mounting brackets 1, which are spaced apart from each other. The mounting brackets 1 are connected to the frame of a mining dump truck. The space between the mounting brackets 1 is used to place the fuel tank. The vertical beam 2 is connected to the mounting bracket 1. The horizontal beam 3 is connected to the vertical beam 2 and is adjacent to one side of the fuel tank. One end of the side protection component 4 is connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the other end is connected to the frame or the fuel tank mounting structure. The side protection component 4 is adjacent to the other two sides of the fuel tank.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 includes a vertical plate 101, a horizontal plate 102, and a diagonal brace 103. The vertical plate 101, horizontal plate 102, and diagonal brace 103 are all made of channel steel. The vertical plate 101 is connected to the vehicle frame by bolts and nuts. The upper end of the horizontal plate 102 is welded to the vertical plate 101. The ends of the diagonal brace 103 are respectively inserted into the openings of the vertical plate 101 and the horizontal plate 102 and welded together, so that the diagonal brace 103 connects between the vertical plate 101 and the horizontal plate 102. The diagonal brace 103 improves the overall structural strength. The mounting bracket 1 enables the installation of the side protection device and forms a certain protective structure on the side of the fuel tank.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two crossbeams 3, which are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vertical beam 2 is connected to the horizontal beam 3 in an adjustable position along the horizontal beam 3. The horizontal beam 3 is made of aluminum profile with a sliding groove. The nut is slidably inserted into the sliding groove. The vertical beam 2 is connected to the nut in the sliding groove by bolts, thereby connecting the horizontal beam 3 and the vertical beam 2. This adjustable connection method makes it easy to adjust the connection position of the vertical beam 2 and the horizontal beam 3, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side protection component 4 uses a hoop, with one end connected to the vertical plate 101 and the other end equipped with a stud. The stud is detachably connected to the fuel tank mounting structure via a nut. The hoop forms a diagonal protective structure on the side of the fuel tank. When the fuel tank shakes violently, the side protection component 4 supports and protects the side of the fuel tank, reducing the amplitude of the shaking and decreasing the probability of stones hitting the fuel tank. The detachable connection structure also facilitates future maintenance of the fuel tank.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side protection device for the fuel tank also includes a connecting plate 5, which is connected to the crossbeam 3 and connected to the mounting structure of the fuel tank. The stability of the side protection device connection is improved by connecting the connecting plate 5.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting plate 5 is connected to the crossbeam 3 in an adjustable position. The connecting plate 5 is connected to the nut set in the crossbeam 3 by bolts. The other end of the connecting plate 5 is connected to the oil tank mounting structure by bolts and nuts. The adjustable connection method makes it easy to connect the connecting plate 5 to the oil tank mounting structure.
[0033] Installing this type of inclined-pull fuel tank side protection device on the vehicle frame can better block the impact of gravel on the fuel tank. It has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble, and provides a certain level of protection. The side protection component 4 is connected to the fuel tank mounting structure, so that the fuel tank is less likely to shake when the vehicle is driving under harsh conditions.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a fuel tank mounting structure includes the fuel tank side protection device disclosed in Embodiment 1, and further includes: a support 6 and a connecting beam 7. The support 6 has an L-shaped structure. One side of the support 6 is connected to the vehicle frame, and the other side extends to the outside of the vehicle frame and is equipped with the connecting beam 7. The fuel tank is connected to the support 6 by bolts. The connecting plate 5 and the side protection component 4 are both connected to the connecting beam 7.
[0036] This type of fuel tank installation structure improves the stability of the structure after installation and its ability to protect against gravel impacts by integrating the side protection device into the fuel tank.
[0037] Example 3
[0038] A mining dump truck includes the fuel tank side protection device disclosed in Embodiment 1 or the fuel tank mounting structure disclosed in Embodiment 2.
