DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0024] Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 The utility model provides a kind of installation structure of oil tank, it is applied to engine, the engine includes cylinder head 1 and wind deflector 2, the installation structure includes:

[0025] Oil tank body 3, the oil tank is L type structure, and has inner side and bottom, its inner side and bottom are equipped with first installation point 4 and second installation point 7 respectively, for the oil tank body 3 can be detachably installed in the cylinder head 1 and the wind deflector 2;

[0026] Wherein, the first installation point 4 and the second installation point 7 have different installation directions.

[0027] In the embodiment, oil tank body 3 is designed as L type structure, can closely fit the irregular space between cylinder head 1 and wind deflector 2, avoids the redundancy occupation problem of traditional regular shape oil tank, significantly improves the compactness of engine overall layout;The inner side and bottom of oil tank body 3 are equipped with first installation point 4 and second installation point 7 respectively, and the installation point of different direction can constrain the degree of freedom of oil tank body 3, and multiple point fixing is combined with vibration suppression characteristics, can greatly reduce the risk of oil tank joint fatigue cracking caused by long-term vibration, reduce fuel leakage hidden danger;The cooperation of the structure of oil tank body 3 and installation point can not only improve the premise of oil tank overall volume, provide more stable and flexible installation mode, help to resist vibration and pressure in different directions, improve the stability of overall structure.

[0028] The first installation point 4 includes a plurality of first mounting ears 5, a plurality of first locking bolts (not shown) are correspondingly arranged in a plurality of the first mounting ears 5. Further, the first mounting ear 5 is provided with a first via hole 6 through which the first locking bolt passes, and the first via hole 6 penetrates in the up-down direction. Further, a plurality of the first mounting ears 5 are arranged at intervals;At least one of the plurality of first mounting ears 5 is arranged at the included angle of the inner side of the oil tank body 3.

[0029] In the embodiment, the first mounting point 4 includes two first mounting ears 5 arranged on the oil tank body 3, each of which is provided with a corresponding first locking bolt, and each mounting ear is secured by a locking bolt to ensure the firm connection between the oil tank body 3 and the engine. The first mounting ear 5 is provided with a through hole through which the first locking bolt passes, and the first through hole 6 penetrates in the up-down direction. The two first mounting ears 5 are arranged at intervals on the inner side of the oil tank, which can cover a larger range of mounting areas and avoid local stiffness mutation, and at the same time adapt to the fixing requirements of the curved surface or irregular connecting surface of the cylinder head 1. In addition, at least one first mounting ear 5 is arranged at the corner (i.e. L-shaped bending area) of the inner side of the oil tank body 3, which fully utilizes the structural strength advantage of the geometric corner. This position naturally has higher bending and torsional resistance, which can significantly inhibit the deformation of the oil tank under vibration or impact, and at the same time reduce the negative effects of bending moment caused by the weight of the oil tank on the mounting point.

[0030] The first mounting ear 5 is integrally formed with the oil tank body 3.

[0031] In the embodiment, the integrally formed process of the first mounting ear 5 and the oil tank body 3 eliminates the weak interface (such as welds, threaded holes, etc.) that may exist in traditional split welding or bolt connection, avoiding the risk of fatigue cracking at the connection due to long-term vibration. The integral structure ensures the continuity of the material of the mounting ear and the oil tank body 3, enhances the bending and shear resistance of the whole, and effectively resists the stress concentration problem at the root of the mounting ear caused by the increase in weight when the oil tank is full of fuel.

Further, the second mounting ear 8 is provided with a second through hole 9 through which the second locking bolt passes, and the second through hole 9 penetrates in the front-rear direction. Further, the plurality of second mounting ears 8 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0033] In the embodiment, the cooperation of the three second mounting ears 8 and the three second locking bolts forms a multi-point rigid connection between the bottom surface of the oil tank and the air deflector 2, and at the same time forms a spatial intersection with the first mounting point 4 on the inner side, which significantly improves the overall torsional resistance of the oil tank. The multi-point fixation on the bottom surface can evenly disperse the pressure of the oil tank weight and fuel load on the air deflector 2, avoiding local deformation, and is especially suitable for large-capacity oil tanks. The second through hole 9 penetrates in the front-rear direction, allowing the second locking bolt to pass horizontally from the front side of the oil tank into the air deflector 2, and forming an operation direction decoupling with the vertical direction of the first mounting point 4. The staggered arrangement of the three second mounting ears 8 can cover a larger range of fixed areas on the bottom surface of the oil tank.

[0034] The bottom surface of the oil tank body 3 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, the air deflector 2 is provided with a mounting plate 10, the mounting plate 10 is outwardly protruded with a third mounting lug 12, and the third mounting lug 12 is provided with a third through hole 13 through which the positioning protrusion 11 can pass.

[0035] In the embodiment, the bottom surface of the oil tank body 3 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, the air deflector 2 is provided with a mounting plate 10 outwardly protruded, the mounting plate 10 is provided with a third mounting lug 12, and the third mounting lug 12 is provided with a third through hole 13 through which the positioning protrusion 11 on the oil tank body 3 can pass, the third mounting lug provides an additional fixing point, and the mounting mode that the positioning protrusion 11 is inserted into the third through hole 13 can combine the self weight, and cooperates with the first mounting lug and the second mounting lug to form multiple mounting positions fixed in multiple directions, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the overall structure.
