AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the urea tank and urea tank bracket need to be assembled separately and then assembled onto the vehicle frame. This makes it difficult to tighten the bracket bolts during fixing, especially when there are crossbeams inside the vehicle frame. Furthermore, the use of universal joints may cause the bolt tightening torque to deviate from the specified value.

Method used

Design a urea tank bracket. The main body of the bracket forms the installation space for the urea tank. The installation part is provided with installation holes, which are offset from the installation space of the urea tank. This allows the bolts to be tightened with an air gun from the outside of the vehicle frame, avoiding obstruction of the urea tank. The weight and cost are reduced by using cast aluminum beams and stamped and welded parts.

Benefits of technology

This design allows for easy bolt installation on the outside of the chassis, improving production cycle time, avoiding interference between the crossbeam and the urea tank, ensuring accurate bolt tightening torque, and reducing weight and material costs.
