TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of frame assembly structure, especially a heavy gas tractor frame assembly structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the rise of oil prices, more and more vehicles use natural gas as fuel. Among them, the on-board liquefied natural gas becomes an important alternative energy source due to its high energy density and low emission characteristics. Compared with fuel oil tractors, gas tractors have a fuel cost of about 0.4-0.7 yuan per kilometer less than diesel vehicles under the same fuel consumption level due to the price difference between liquefied natural gas and diesel. Gas tractors have become the main models on the domestic market. Due to the number of local gas stations and the price difference of natural gas in different regions, customers have increasingly high requirements for the long endurance mileage of gas tractors. Compared with fuel oil tractors, the large capacity and multiple combination of gas cylinder arrangement increase the chassis weight by about 4 tons, which puts higher requirements on the strength and stiffness design of the frame.
[0003] The existing gas tractor frame assembly generally uses double-layer longitudinal beams and back-to-back cross beams to strengthen the frame assembly as a whole. Although this type of frame assembly structure can meet the strength and stiffness requirements of large capacity and multiple gas cylinder arrangements, the overall frame assembly uses double-layer longitudinal beams and back-to-back cross beam structure design, which increases the overall vehicle weight and cost, has poor fuel economy, and increases the customer's use cost.
