[0030] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] The auxiliary water tank assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the auxiliary water tank assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an auxiliary water tank body 100 and a sealing mechanism 200. The auxiliary water tank body 100 is adapted to correspond to the position of the clearance opening 11 of the front panel 10, and the auxiliary water tank body 100 is partially accommodated within the clearance opening 11. The outer contour of the sealing mechanism 200 surrounds the edge of the clearance opening 11, and the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing mechanism 200 are jointly installed on the front panel 10, with the sealing mechanism 200 sealing between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the clearance opening 11 of the front panel 10.

[0033] For example, the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing mechanism 200 are detachable structures. The sealing mechanism 200 can be a fully enclosed sealing structure, completely covering one side of the auxiliary water tank body 100 and sealing it with the front panel 10; or it can be a semi-enclosed sealing structure, sealing the outer periphery of the auxiliary water tank body 100 with the front panel 10. The sealing mechanism 200 is made of composite material, such as PA6+GF30 nylon glass fiber reinforced composite material. The sealing mechanism 200 has good fit and sealing performance with both the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10.

[0034] According to the auxiliary water tank assembly 1 of this utility model embodiment, a sealing mechanism 200 is constructed to form a seal between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10, and the sealing mechanism 200 and the auxiliary water tank body 100 can be detached separately. The auxiliary water tank body 100 is installed on the front panel 10, and the auxiliary water tank body 100 is not obstructed from the outside of the front panel 10. Since the auxiliary water tank body 100 is made of a semi-transparent material, it is easy to observe the liquid level. The auxiliary water tank body 100 is located on the side of the front panel 10 outside the driver's compartment. The sealing mechanism 200 seals the clearance opening 11 between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10, which can prevent external water or coolant from entering the driver's compartment. Furthermore, the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing mechanism 200 are partially housed inside the clearance opening 11. The auxiliary water tank body 100, the sealing mechanism 200 and the front panel 10 can form an integrated structure. The sealing mechanism 200 can also provide some support for the auxiliary water tank body 100, which facilitates sealing. The auxiliary water tank assembly 1 will not occupy too much space outside the front panel 10, thus improving the space utilization of the vehicle.

[0035] Therefore, the auxiliary water tank assembly 1 according to the present utility model has the advantages of easy observation of liquid level, good sealing performance, and high space utilization.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary water tank body 100 is equipped with a water tank mounting flange 110, and a sealing mechanism 200 is sealed between the water tank mounting flange 110 and the front panel 10.

[0037] The water tank mounting flange 110 conforms to the contour of the edge of the front panel 10, which avoids the cutout 11. The water tank mounting flange 110 can be installed on the front panel 10 using fasteners or other means. Furthermore, the water tank mounting flange 110 compresses the sealing mechanism 200, which fully fills the gap between the sealing mechanism 200 and the front panel 10, ensuring good sealing between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sealing mechanism 200 includes a sealing cover 210 and a sealing ring 220. The sealing cover 210 covers the clearance opening 11 and seals between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10.

[0039] Specifically, the sealing ring 220 can be a sealing strip. The sealing ring 220 is interference-fitted with the sheet metal structure on the front panel 10 of the vehicle body. The sealing ring 220 is connected to the sealing cover 210. The sealing ring 220 surrounds the clearance opening 11 and seals between the water tank mounting flange 110 and the front panel 10.

[0040] The sealing cover 210 has high structural strength and can provide a certain buffering and support between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the front panel 10. The sealing ring 220 is an elastic sealing element with high elastic deformation capacity, which can fully fill the gap between the sealing cover 210 and the front panel 10. The sealing performance of the sealing mechanism 200 is improved by constructing the sealing ring 220. The sealing cover 210 and the sealing ring 220 provide support and sealing functions, respectively.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sealing cover 210 includes a sealing edge 211 and a center cover 212. The sealing edge 211 is installed on the water tank mounting flange 110 and surrounds the outer periphery of the clearance opening 11. The center cover 212 is connected to the center of the sealing edge 211 and covers the clearance opening 11 of the front panel 10.

[0042] The sealing edge 211 is constructed with the same shape as the water tank mounting flange 110, thus ensuring a good integral fit between the sealing edge 211 and the water tank mounting flange 110. The sealing edge 211 supports and cushions the water tank mounting flange 110 on one side of the front panel 10. Furthermore, the sealing edge 211 provides installation space for the sealing ring 220, which is assembled around the sealing ring 220. This ensures a good seal between the sealing edge 211 and the front panel 10, and the sealing edge 211 provides support for the sealing ring 220, resulting in relatively stable stress distribution.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sealing edge 211 has a receiving groove 211 on the side facing the front panel 10 to receive the sealing ring 220, and the sealing ring 220 is installed in the receiving groove 211.

[0044] The sealing ring 220 is partially located outside the receiving groove 211, and forms a seal between the front panel 10 and the sealing edge 211 by its own deformation. By installing the sealing ring 220 in the receiving groove 211, it is ensured that the sealing ring 220 is not easily detached from the sealing edge 211.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the central cover 212 conforms to the outer contour of the auxiliary water tank body 100.

[0046] The central cover 212 is integrally formed with the outer contour of the auxiliary water tank, thus not occupying excessive space outside the auxiliary water tank body 100. When the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing mechanism 200 are installed together with the front panel 10, the central cover 212 and the auxiliary water tank body 100 pass through the clearance opening 11 of the front panel 10 and are accommodated within the clearance opening 11. The central cover 212 provides a certain degree of support and protection at the edges of the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the clearance opening 11.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water tank mounting flange 110 is constructed with mounting ears 111 extending outward from its outer edge. The mounting ears 111 are mounted to the front panel 10 by fasteners. For example, the mounting ears 111 are located at the four corners of the water tank mounting flange 110, and the sealing edge 211 has the same shape as the corresponding position of the mounting ears 111.

[0048] 8 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the mounting ear 111 is constructed with a first mounting hole 112 and a second mounting hole 113. The sealing cover 210 passes through the corresponding positions of the first mounting hole 112 and the second mounting hole 113. The first mounting hole 112 is adapted to pass through a fastener so that the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing cover 210 are mounted on the front panel 10. The second mounting hole 113 is adapted to pass through a fastener so that the sealing mechanism 200 is threadedly connected to the auxiliary water tank body 100.

[0049] Specifically, the first mounting hole 112 is a through hole, and the second mounting hole 113 is a threaded countersunk hole. The sealing edge 211 passes through the corresponding positions of the first mounting hole 112 and the second mounting hole 113. A fastener passing through the first mounting hole 112 passes through the sealing mechanism 200 and is sealed to the front panel 10, ensuring that the auxiliary water tank body 100 is fixed to the front panel 10. A fastener passing through the second mounting hole 113 is threadedly connected to the sealing mechanism 200, thereby keeping the auxiliary water tank body 100 fixed to the sealing mechanism 200. Thus, the auxiliary water tank body 100, the sealing cover 210, and the front panel 10 are all fixed, resulting in high assembly stability.

[0050] 9 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the edge of the water tank mounting flange 110 is provided with a first fastening element 11, and the sealing edge 211 is provided with a second fastening element 21 corresponding to the position of the first fastening element 11. The first fastening element 11 and the second fastening element 21 engage with each other to fix the sealing mechanism 200 and the auxiliary water tank body 100.

[0051] For example, the first fastener 11 is a snap-fit ​​hole or a snap-fit ​​groove, and the second fastener 21 is a snap hook. The second fastener 21 passes through the first fastener 11 and engages with it, ensuring that the water tank mounting flange 110 and the sealing edge 211 can be easily disassembled and installed. By having the first fastener 11 and the second fastener 21 engage with each other, the gap between the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing edge 211 is reduced. The first fastener 11, the second fastener 21, the first mounting hole 112, and the second mounting hole 113 work together to assemble the auxiliary water tank body 100 and the sealing mechanism 200, resulting in a more secure assembly.
