Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive equipment technology, and more specifically to a water tank with a storage device and a heating element. Background Technology

[0002] Large trucks refer to vehicles primarily used for transporting goods, and sometimes also to vehicles capable of towing other vehicles. They are generally classified into heavy-duty and light-duty trucks based on weight, with the vast majority powered by diesel engines. During long-distance truck travel, many drivers lack access to handwashing facilities due to the absence of a water tank in their vehicles, hindering their daily washing needs. Furthermore, while some existing trucks do have water tanks, they often lack storage compartments for laundry detergent, soap, and other miscellaneous items, or convenient heating devices, further failing to meet drivers' daily needs. Moreover, current handwashing tanks typically rely on engine heat for auxiliary heating, lacking automatic heating capabilities, resulting in uncontrolled operating temperatures. Additionally, the tanks are often located close to the cab, causing inconvenience.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a storage device and a heated water tank that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems is one of the technical problems that urgently need to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the storage box is configured as two, namely a first storage box and a second storage box; the first storage box is embedded in the first insertion opening and is used to place bottled, canned or barrelled daily necessities; the second storage box is embedded in the second insertion opening and is used to hold bulk daily necessities.

[0011] Preferably, an end cap is detachably provided above the second insertion port to close the second storage box and prevent household items from spilling out and dust and rainwater from accumulating.

[0012] Preferably, a level gauge is fixedly connected to one side wall of the tank for observing the internal capacity of the tank; a heating device is fixedly installed on one side wall of the tank below the level gauge, and both ends of the level gauge are connected to the tank through connectors.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the heating device is fixedly installed on one side wall of the box body by a fastener, and the other end extends into the interior of the box body.

[0014] Preferably, a water outlet switch device is provided at the lower end of one end wall of the tank.

[0015] Preferably, the housing is provided with a fixing groove for fixed installation with the vehicle.

[0016] Preferably, the box body is provided with a number of reinforcing ribs.

[0017] Preferably, the water outlet switch device is a faucet.

[0018] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:

[0019] This utility model increases the functionality of the water tank by forming two embedded openings on the tank body to respectively connect a first storage box for holding bottled, canned, or barrelled daily necessities and a second storage box for holding bulk daily necessities. It is also easy to manufacture, low in cost, and very suitable for market promotion. Furthermore, this utility model adds a heating rod for heating the water tank, eliminating the limitation of existing water tanks relying on engine heating.
