Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil level detection, and provides an oil tank and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, as fuel tank sizes increase, existing fuel level gauges cannot meet the requirements for fuel level detection. Specifically, the existing fuel level gauge structure requires placement in the middle of the fuel tank, but this results in the upper fuel pipe protruding excessively from the tank surface, leading to an overall size that exceeds vehicle clearance limits and cannot be installed on extra-large fuel tanks. Replacing existing fuel level gauges requires disassembling the fuel tank, resulting in long working hours, high replacement difficulty, and unsuitability for the maintenance needs of large-capacity fuel tanks.

[0003] Therefore, in order to meet the needs of monitoring the oil level in ultra-large fuel tanks, and taking into account the characteristics of the maintenance space under the vehicle, there is an urgent need for an oil level monitoring solution that can overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and has a more reliable, efficient and safer capability.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first aspect embodiment of the present invention provides an oil tank, comprising:

[0035] Fuel tank body 100;

[0036] The oil level gauge 102 has a first oil pipe 104 and a second oil pipe 106 installed along the height direction of the oil level gauge 102. The oil level gauge 102 is in fluid communication with the oil tank body 100 through the first oil pipe 104 and the second oil pipe 106. The first oil pipe 104 extends along the length direction of the oil tank body 100, and the second oil pipe 106 extends along the width direction of the oil tank body 100.

[0037] According to the oil tank provided in the first aspect embodiment of this utility model, through the cross arrangement of the first oil pipe 104 and the second oil pipe 106 within the oil tank, the oil tank of this utility model can more comprehensively monitor changes in oil level, avoiding errors caused by a single oil level monitoring point in traditional oil tanks. Since the first oil pipe 104 and the second oil pipe 106 can extend freely along the length and width of the oil tank, the oil tank of this utility model can adapt to oil tank bodies 100 of different shapes and sizes, improving the versatility and applicability of the oil tank. Through the real-time monitoring function of the oil level gauge 102, users can promptly detect changes in the oil level within the tank, thereby enabling timely refueling or draining operations, avoiding equipment malfunctions or safety hazards caused by excessively low or high oil levels. Simultaneously, the intuitive display of the oil level gauge 102 simplifies the oil tank maintenance process. Accurate oil level monitoring ensures that the equipment receives sufficient oil supply during operation, avoiding equipment downtime or performance degradation due to insufficient oil. Therefore, the oil tank of this utility model helps improve the operating efficiency and stability of equipment.

[0038] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 The first aspect of this utility model relates to an improved design of an oil tank, aiming to provide an oil tank structure capable of more accurately monitoring changes in the oil level within the tank. The oil tank mainly comprises two parts: an oil tank body 100 and an oil level gauge 102.

[0039] The oil tank body 100 is the main part for storing oil and has sufficient capacity to meet the operating needs of equipment or machinery. The design of the oil tank body 100 typically considers factors such as its shape, material, sealing, and corrosion resistance to ensure the safe storage and effective supply of oil.

[0040] The oil level gauge 102 is a key component of this invention, used to monitor the oil level in the tank in real time. The oil level gauge 102 has a first oil pipe 104 and a second oil pipe 106 arranged along its height direction. These two oil pipes are fluidly connected to the oil tank body 100, thereby reflecting the oil level in the tank in real time.

[0041] The first oil pipe 104 extends along the length of the oil tank body 100, meaning it can cover most of the length of the oil tank, thus enabling more comprehensive monitoring of changes in the oil level within the tank. The second oil pipe 106 extends along the width of the oil tank body 100, forming a cross or perpendicular arrangement with the first oil pipe 104, further expanding the monitoring range of the oil level gauge 102.

[0042] By combining the first oil pipe 104 and the second oil pipe 106, the oil tank of this invention can more accurately reflect the actual oil level in the tank, providing strong support for the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a protective cover 108 is provided on the edge of the oil tank body 100, and an installation space is formed between the protective cover 108 and the oil tank body 100, and the oil level gauge 102 is installed in the installation space.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the design of the fuel tank is further optimized. In addition to the fuel tank body 100 and fuel level gauge 102 described above, this embodiment also adds a protective cover 108 to the edge of the fuel tank body 100. The protective cover 108 and the fuel tank body 100 cleverly enclose an installation space, and the fuel level gauge 102 is cleverly installed in this installation space.

[0045] The design of the protective cover 108 takes into account a variety of factors, including the strength and corrosion resistance of the materials, as well as ease of installation. Its shape and dimensions have been carefully calculated to ensure a perfect fit with the tank body 100, while providing sufficient space to accommodate the oil level gauge 102 and its associated connecting pipes.

[0046] During installation, the oil level gauge 102 is in fluid communication with the oil tank body 100 through the first oil pipe 104 and the second oil pipe 106. These oil pipes pass through the reserved holes on the protective cover 108 and are properly sealed to ensure the sealing and safety of the oil tank.

[0047] The protective cover 108 provides an additional protective layer for the oil level gauge 102, preventing it from being directly impacted or damaged by the external environment, thereby extending its service life. By installing the oil level gauge 102 within the installation space, safety hazards caused by direct exposure, such as accidental contact or short circuits, can be avoided. Simultaneously, the protective cover 108 also prevents oil splashing or leakage, further improving the overall safety of the oil tank. The design of the protective cover 108 makes the maintenance and replacement of the oil level gauge 102 more convenient. When it is necessary to inspect or replace the oil level gauge 102, simply opening the protective cover 108 provides easy access to the gauge without disassembling the entire oil tank.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, along the thickness direction of the oil tank body 100, a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole are provided on the oil tank body 100, a first oil pipe 104 is inserted into the first mounting hole, and a second oil pipe 106 is inserted into the second mounting hole.

[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the design of the fuel tank body 100 has been improved. Specifically, a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole are carefully formed on the fuel tank body 100 along its thickness direction.

[0050] The first oil pipe 104 is inserted into the first mounting hole, while the second oil pipe 106 is inserted into the second mounting hole. This design not only ensures a secure connection between the oil pipes and the oil tank body 100, but also guarantees smooth oil flow.

[0051] During installation, appropriate sealing measures, such as sealing rings or sealant, were used between the oil pipe and the mounting hole to ensure that the sealing performance of the oil tank was not affected. At the same time, the connection between the oil pipe and the oil tank body 100 was carefully treated to enhance the strength and durability of the connection.

[0052] The design of the first and second mounting holes makes the connection between the oil pipe and the oil tank body 100 more secure. This not only prevents the oil pipe from loosening or falling off during use, but also ensures smooth oil flow, thereby improving the overall performance of the oil tank. The sealing measures between the oil pipe and the mounting holes ensure that the oil tank's sealing performance is not affected. This prevents oil leakage or external impurities from entering the oil tank, thus protecting the cleanliness of the tank's interior and the quality of the oil. The design of the first and second mounting holes makes the installation and replacement of the oil pipe more convenient. Oil pipe installation and maintenance can be easily completed without complex disassembly or modification of the oil tank body 100. The precise fit between the oil pipe and the mounting holes ensures smooth oil flow. This not only improves the oil supply efficiency of the oil tank, but also reduces oil resistance and loss during flow, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first pad 110 is provided on the end face of the first mounting hole, a second pad 112 is provided on the end face of the second mounting hole, a first oil pipe 104 is adapted to be welded to the first mounting hole through the first pad 110, and a second oil pipe 106 is adapted to be welded to the second mounting hole through the second pad 112.

[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, the design of the oil tank body 100 has been further improved. Specifically, a first gasket 110 and a second gasket 112 are respectively added to the end faces of the first and second mounting holes. The design of these two gaskets aims to improve the connection strength and sealing performance between the oil pipe and the oil tank body 100.

[0055] The first oil pipe 104 is welded to the first mounting hole via the first gasket 110, while the second oil pipe 106 is welded to the second mounting hole via the second gasket 112. During the welding process, the gasket plays a crucial supporting and positioning role, ensuring precise alignment and a secure connection between the oil pipe and the oil tank body 100.

[0056] The gasket is typically made of the same or similar material as the fuel tank body 100 to ensure good strength and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the thickness and shape of the gasket are carefully designed to meet the connection requirements between the fuel line and the fuel tank body 100.

[0057] By adding a gasket, the connection between the oil pipe and the tank body 100 becomes more stable. The gasket provides additional support, effectively preventing the oil pipe from loosening or deforming due to uneven stress during use. The gasket design also improves the sealing performance between the oil pipe and the tank body 100. During welding, the gasket ensures a tight fit between the oil pipe and the mounting hole, preventing oil leakage or external impurities from entering the tank. The use of the gasket simplifies and controls the welding process. Because the gasket provides additional support and positioning, welders can perform welding operations more accurately, thereby improving welding quality and efficiency. By improving connection strength and sealing performance, this embodiment of the invention also extends the service life of the tank and oil pipe. This not only reduces equipment failures and downtime caused by loose connections or leaks but also lowers maintenance and replacement costs.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first oil pipe 104 is adapted to be detachably installed in the first mounting hole via the first locking member 114, and the second oil pipe 106 is adapted to be detachably installed in the second mounting hole via the second locking member 116.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, the design of the fuel tank further incorporates the concept of detachable connection. Specifically, the first oil pipe 104 is no longer fixed to the first mounting hole solely by welding or other methods, but is detachably installed via the first locking member 114. Similarly, the second oil pipe 106 is also detachably connected to the second mounting hole via the second locking member 116.

[0060] The selection and design of locking components are crucial. They need to ensure the stability of the oil pipe in the mounting hole while also facilitating disassembly and reinstallation. Common locking components include nuts, bolts, and clamps, with the specific choice depending on the tank structure, the size of the oil pipe, and the specific requirements of the operating environment.

[0061] During installation, the oil pipe is first inserted into the corresponding mounting hole and then secured with a locking device. The locking device presses the oil pipe firmly against the wall of the mounting hole, thus preventing the oil pipe from loosening or falling off during use.

[0062] The detachable connection makes oil pipe replacement and maintenance simpler and faster. When the oil pipe is damaged or needs cleaning, workers can easily remove it from the mounting hole without disassembling the entire tank. The detachable connection, achieved through locking mechanisms, provides greater flexibility in tank design. For example, when the tank needs to accommodate different specifications of oil pipes, only the corresponding locking mechanism and oil pipe need to be replaced, without modifying the tank body 100. The detachable connection helps reduce tank maintenance costs. Since the oil pipe can be replaced individually without replacing the entire tank, significant material and labor costs are saved. The use of locking mechanisms ensures the stability of the oil pipe in the mounting hole, preventing safety hazards caused by loosening or detachment. This contributes to improved overall tank safety, protecting equipment and operators.

[0063] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle, including a suspension assembly and the aforementioned fuel tank, wherein the fuel tank is suspended from the vehicle by the suspension assembly.

[0064] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vehicle with a suspended fuel tank can fully utilize the space above the vehicle, avoiding the space occupied by the vehicle's bottom as in traditional fuel tank installation methods. This is significant for improving the vehicle's passability and lowering its center of gravity, especially for models with high ground clearance requirements, where the advantages of this suspension method are particularly evident. The fuel tank is suspended above the vehicle via a suspension assembly, resulting in a relatively high center of gravity, which helps reduce the risk of rollover during vehicle operation. Simultaneously, the design of the suspension assembly ensures the stability of the fuel tank during vehicle operation, preventing adverse effects on vehicle performance caused by fuel tank swaying. The suspended fuel tank installation method makes fuel tank maintenance and replacement more convenient. When the fuel tank needs cleaning, inspection, or replacement, workers can easily remove it from the vehicle using the suspension assembly without disassembling or significantly adjusting the entire vehicle. The suspended fuel tank installation method can also improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle to some extent. By suspending the fuel tank above the vehicle, some pipes or connecting components that might otherwise be exposed can be hidden, resulting in a cleaner and more streamlined vehicle appearance.

[0065] Please continue reading Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle, specifically, the vehicle including a suspension assembly and the previously described fuel tank. The fuel tank is not conventionally fixed to a part of the vehicle, but is cleverly suspended from the vehicle by the suspension assembly.

[0066] The design of the suspension assembly takes into full account the weight and shape of the fuel tank, as well as the vehicle's operational requirements. It typically consists of a series of robust and durable components, such as hangers, hooks, and connecting rods, which work together to ensure that the fuel tank can be securely suspended from the vehicle without compromising its driving performance and safety.

[0067] During installation, the fuel tank is connected to the vehicle's body or frame via a suspension assembly. The connection points are carefully selected and designed to ensure that the fuel tank remains relatively stable during vehicle operation and does not sway significantly due to bumps or vibrations.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hanging assembly includes:

[0069] Hanger 118, for installation on vehicles;

[0070] Mounting bracket 120 is installed on the fuel tank body 100 and is hoisted onto the hoisting bracket 118.

[0071] In one embodiment of this utility model, the suspension assembly is cleverly designed to consist of two parts: a suspension base 118 and a mounting base 120. The suspension base 118, as a fixed part, is firmly installed on the vehicle body or frame, serving a supporting and positioning function. The mounting base 120, as a movable part, is installed on the fuel tank body 100 and connected to the suspension base 118 by a suspension method.

[0072] The design of the hanger 118 takes into account the vehicle's structural characteristics and operating environment, and is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the fuel tank and maintain stability during long-term use. The shape and dimensions of the hanger 118 have also been carefully calculated to ensure a perfect fit with the mounting base 120, while providing sufficient support area to distribute the weight of the fuel tank.

[0073] The design of the mounting bracket 120 places greater emphasis on compatibility with the fuel tank body 100 and ease of installation. It is typically designed to match the shape of the fuel tank body 100 and is securely mounted to the fuel tank by bolts, welding, or other fastening methods. The mounting bracket 120 is also provided with lifting holes or lifting structures for lifting connection with the lifting seat 118.

[0074] During the hoisting process, appropriate hoisting methods were used between the hoisting base 118 and the mounting base 120, such as hoisting chains, hoisting ropes, or hoisting brackets. These hoisting methods not only ensured the stability of the fuel tank during hoisting but also facilitated installation and adjustment by the staff.

[0075] The design of the lifting bracket 118 and mounting base 120 simplifies and expedites the fuel tank installation process. Workers simply need to secure the mounting base 120 to the fuel tank and then connect it to the lifting bracket 118 via a lifting method, eliminating the need for complex positioning and securing operations. The connection between the lifting bracket 118 and mounting base 120 via a lifting method not only ensures the stability of the fuel tank during vehicle operation but also effectively prevents loosening or detachment caused by vibration or bumps. When the fuel tank requires maintenance or replacement, workers can easily remove it from the vehicle by disassembling the lifting assembly without disassembling the entire vehicle or making significant adjustments. This greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of maintenance work.

[0076] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lifting lug 122 is formed on the hanging base 118, and a hanging lug 124 is provided on the mounting base 120, the hanging lug 124 being rotatably connected to the lifting lug 122.

[0077] In one embodiment of this invention, the design of the suspension assembly has been further optimized. Specifically, a lifting lug 122 is formed on the suspension base 118, while a hanging lug 124 is provided on the mounting base 120. The design of these two components allows the fuel tank to be suspended from the vehicle in a more flexible and stable manner.

[0078] As part of the lifting base 118, the lifting lug 122 is typically designed with a certain strength and rigidity to ensure it can withstand the weight of the fuel tank and remain stable during long-term use. The shape and size of the lifting lug 122 are carefully calculated and designed based on the weight and shape of the fuel tank and the lifting requirements to ensure a perfect fit with the hanging lug 124.

[0079] The mounting lug 124, as part of the mounting base 120, is designed to be rotatably connected to the lifting lug 122. This rotatable connection allows the fuel tank to rotate or tilt to a certain extent on the mounting base 120 to accommodate different installation angles or vibrations and bumps during vehicle operation. The mounting lug 124 typically has connecting holes or connecting structures that match the lifting lug 122 for connection via bolts, pins, or other fasteners.

[0080] During the connection process, appropriate fastening methods, such as bolt connection and pin connection, are used between the lifting lug 122 and the hanging lug 124 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the fuel tank during the hoisting process, a safety lock or limit device can be installed between the lifting lug 122 and the hanging lug 124 to prevent the fuel tank from accidentally falling off or rotating excessively due to vibration or bumps during the journey.

[0081] The rotatable connection design of the lifting lugs 122 and 124 allows the fuel tank to be hoisted onto the vehicle in a more flexible manner. This design allows the fuel tank to rotate or tilt to a certain extent on the mounting base 120 to accommodate different installation angles or vibrations and bumps during vehicle operation, thereby improving installation flexibility and adaptability. Through the secure connection between the lifting lugs 122 and 124, the fuel tank is firmly hoisted onto the vehicle. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the fuel tank during vehicle operation but also effectively prevents loosening or detachment caused by vibration or bumps, thus improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The rotatable connection design of the lifting lugs 122 and 124 makes fuel tank maintenance and replacement more convenient. When the fuel tank needs maintenance or replacement, workers can easily remove the fuel tank from the vehicle by disassembling the lifting assembly without disassembling the entire vehicle or making significant adjustments. Meanwhile, since the lifting lug 122 and the hanging lug 124 can rotate relative to each other, even if there is a certain deviation or error in the oil tank during installation, it can be corrected by adjusting the angle of the hanging lug 124, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of maintenance work.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 120 includes:

[0083] Mounting plate 126 is mounted on the fuel tank body 100;

[0084] A lifting plate 128 is connected to an mounting plate 126. A hanging lug 124 is provided on the lifting plate 128, and a reinforcing seat 130 is provided between the hanging lug 124 and the lifting plate 128.

[0085] In one embodiment of this utility model, the design of the mounting base 120 has been further optimized and refined. The mounting base 120 mainly consists of two parts: a mounting plate 126 and a lifting plate 128. These two parts are connected together in a stable manner to jointly bear the weight of the fuel tank and lift it onto the vehicle.

[0086] Mounting plate 126, as the base of mounting base 120, is designed to match the shape of fuel tank body 100 and is securely mounted on fuel tank by bolts, welding or other fastening methods. The material and thickness of mounting plate 126 are carefully selected to ensure that it can withstand the weight of fuel tank and maintain sufficient strength and rigidity during long-term use.

[0087] The lifting plate 128, as a key component connecting the mounting plate 126 and the suspension assembly, is designed with a certain strength and rigidity. The lifting plate 128 and the mounting plate 126 are fixed together by welding, bolting, or other reliable connection methods to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. A lug 124 is provided on the lifting plate 128 for rotatable connection with the lug 122 on the lifting base 118.

[0088] To further enhance the strength and rigidity of the lifting plate 128, especially in the connection area of ​​the lugs 124, this embodiment of the invention also provides a reinforcing seat 130 between the lugs 124 and the lifting plate 128. The reinforcing seat 130 is typically designed with a certain thickness and rigidity, and is securely connected to the lifting plate 128 by welding or other fastening methods. Its main function is to distribute the stress in the connection area of ​​the lugs 124, preventing deformation or damage to the lifting plate 128 due to stress concentration.

[0089] Through the combined design of mounting plate 126 and lifting plate 128, and the addition of reinforcing seat 130, the overall strength and rigidity of mounting seat 120 are significantly improved. This ensures that the fuel tank can withstand sufficient weight on mounting seat 120 and maintain stability during long-term use. A robust connection method, such as welding or bolting, is used between lifting plate 128 and mounting plate 126, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection. Meanwhile, the rotatable connection design between lug 124 and lifting lug 122 also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the connection. The addition of reinforcing seat 130 not only enhances the strength and rigidity of lifting plate 128 but also improves the safety of the lug 124 connection area. It effectively disperses stress, preventing deformation or damage to lifting plate 128 caused by stress concentration, thereby ensuring the safety of the fuel tank during lifting.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing rib 132 is provided between the mounting plate 126 and the hoisting plate 128.

[0091] In one embodiment of this utility model, to further enhance the strength and rigidity of the mounting base 120, particularly in the connection area between the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128, a reinforcing rib 132 is specially provided. The reinforcing rib 132 is a structural component, typically used to increase the strength and rigidity of an object to prevent deformation or damage caused by external forces.

[0092] In the mounting base 120, a reinforcing rib 132 is cleverly designed and installed between the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128. Its shape and size have been carefully calculated and designed according to the structural characteristics and stress conditions of the mounting base 120 to ensure effective distribution and resistance to external forces. The material of the reinforcing rib 132 is usually the same as or similar to that of the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128 to ensure a firm and reliable connection between them.

[0093] The stiffener 132 can be installed by welding, bolting, or other reliable connection methods. Welding ensures that the connection between the stiffener 132 and the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128 is firm and not easy to loosen; bolting facilitates disassembly and replacement and is suitable for occasions that require frequent maintenance or replacement.

[0094] The reinforcing rib 132 significantly enhances the strength and rigidity of the connection area between the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128 of the mounting base 120. This ensures that the fuel tank can withstand greater weight and more complex external forces on the mounting base 120, improving the stability and safety of the entire suspension assembly. The reinforcing rib 132 effectively disperses and resists external forces, optimizing the stress distribution within the mounting base 120. This prevents deformation or damage to the mounting base 120 due to stress concentration, extending its service life. The addition of the reinforcing rib 132 enhances the connection reliability between the mounting plate 126 and the lifting plate 128. Even under long-term use or harsh environments, the reinforcing rib 132 ensures a firm and stable connection, improving the reliability and durability of the entire suspension assembly. The design of the reinforcing rib 132 offers flexibility and adaptability, allowing for customization and adjustment based on different mounting base 120 structures and stress conditions. This enables the reinforcing rib 132 to be widely used in various types of vehicles and fuel tank suspension assemblies.
