Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle protection devices, and in particular to a water tank protection device for a transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The cooling system is an important component of vehicle equipment. It consists of a radiator, fan and belt, water pump, upper and lower water pipes, thermostat, water jacket, and water temperature gauge. Its main function is to cool down the vehicle engine. When the engine is running, a lot of heat is generated due to the combustion of fuel and the friction of various moving parts. If it cannot be cooled down in time, it will cause the parts to seize or burn out. The water tank in the cooling system, which is used to store the cooling medium, is usually located at the bottom of the transport vehicle.

[0003] However, in practical applications, when the transport vehicle is in motion, the rotation of the tires often picks up gravel or debris, which can cause splashing. These splashed gravel and debris can impact the water tank, increasing the risk of water tank rupture and fan blade damage. Especially when driving in the field, the possibility of the transport vehicle breaking down is significantly increased when encountering potholes or water crossings. Therefore, a water tank protection device for transport vehicles is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a protective device for the water tank of a transport vehicle, which aims to improve the problem of the lack of protection on the outside of the water tank installed at the bottom of the transport vehicle in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water tank protection device for a transport vehicle, comprising a left connecting plate and a right connecting plate, wherein mounting holes are provided on the surfaces of both the left and right connecting plates, and three anti-collision beams are detachably connected from left to right in the gap between the left and right connecting plates, wherein the three anti-collision beams are arranged at an obtuse angle, and anti-collision protective plates are fixedly connected between adjacent anti-collision beams, wherein ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the anti-collision protective plates, and an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the right connecting plate, wherein a connecting arc plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the electric push rod, and a baffle plate assembly is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the connecting arc plate.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The side surface of the shielding plate assembly away from the connecting arc plate is in contact with the outer wall of the anti-collision protective plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The shielding plate group consists of several shielding plates arranged in a horizontal straight line, with adjacent shielding plates fixedly connected by connecting rods.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The corresponding shields in the two sets of shields are fixedly connected by supporting arc plates.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The shielding plate assembly has a guide groove on the side surface near the anti-collision protective plate, and a guide rail is fixedly connected to the outer side of the anti-collision protective plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The guide rail is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A limiting arc plate is fixedly connected in the gap between the left and right connecting plates, and the surface of the limiting arc plate near the anti-collision protection plate is in contact with the outer wall of the shielding plate assembly.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, the combination of the left connecting plate, right connecting plate, mounting hole, anti-collision crossbeam, anti-collision protective plate and ventilation hole can shield and protect the outside of the water tank in the cooling system at the bottom of the transport vehicle. At the same time, it can allow the airflow generated during the vehicle's journey to blow towards the water tank, improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0020] 2. In this utility model, the operation of the shielding plate assembly can be guided and limited by the combination of the supporting arc plate, guide groove, guide rail and limiting arc plate, which reduces the risk of the shielding plate assembly deviating and avoids the shielding plate assembly from detaching from the anti-collision protection plate and affecting the windproof effect.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a water tank protection device for a transport vehicle, comprising a left connecting plate 1 and a right connecting plate 2. Both the left and right connecting plates 1 and 2 have mounting holes 3 on their surfaces. The left and right connecting plates 1 and 2 can be installed on the outside of the water tank at the bottom of the transport vehicle via the mounting holes 3 and bolts. Three anti-collision beams 4 are detachably connected from left to right in the gap between the left and right connecting plates 1 and 2. The anti-collision beams 4 are made of solid steel with a diameter of 32mm and have 50mm long threads at both ends. The threads are coarse. The ends of the anti-collision beam 4 pass through the left connecting plate 1 and the right connecting plate 2. The anti-collision beam 4 is detachably connected to the left connecting plate 1 and the right connecting plate 2 by a matching nut. The three anti-collision beams 4 are arranged at an obtuse angle. Anti-collision protective plates 5 are fixedly connected between adjacent anti-collision beams 4. The thickness of the two anti-collision protective plates 5 is 5mm. The surface of the anti-collision protective plates 5 is laser-cut with ventilation holes 6. There are several ventilation holes 6. The several ventilation holes 6 are arranged in a left-right straight array and are divided into groups that match the number of shielding plates to facilitate heat dissipation and air intake.

[0029] The two anti-collision plates 5 are designed to be connected in a triangular shape. The ventilation holes 6 on the surface facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation, allowing observation of the water tank radiator. At the same time, they can block small stones and other road debris. The two anti-collision plates 5 are connected by three anti-collision beams 4 (solid round steel) to form a whole protective structure. The thicker left connecting plate 1 and right connecting plate 2 are selected to fix the three anti-collision beams 4 with nuts. Then, the left connecting plate 1 and right connecting plate 2 are fixed to the frame of the transport vehicle to provide support and fixation.

[0030] An electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the right connecting plate 2 using bolts. The electric push rod 7 is covered with a corrugated rubber dust cover (not shown), and its terminals use an IP67 waterproof connector. A connecting arc plate 8 is fixedly connected to the left end of the electric push rod 7. Both the upper and lower ends of the connecting arc plate 8 are fixedly connected to a baffle plate assembly 9. When the electric push rod 7 is running, it can drive the two baffle plate assemblies 9 to move linearly left and right through the connecting arc plate 8. The baffle plate assembly 9 consists of several baffle plates arranged in a horizontal straight line. The array consists of adjacent shields that are fixedly connected by connecting rods 10. The connecting rods 10 are made of Q235 round steel with a diameter of 8mm. The side of the shield assembly 9 away from the connecting arc plate 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the anti-collision protection plate 5. When the shield assembly 9 moves left and right, the shields can adjust the blocking of the ventilation holes 6 on the surface of the anti-collision protection plate 5. In the initial state, the ventilation holes 6 are fully open. As the shield assembly 9 moves to the right, the ventilation holes 6 can be gradually blocked and closed, thereby adjusting the opening size of the ventilation holes 6 and thus adjusting the air intake.

[0031] The electric push rod 7 is electrically connected to the vehicle ECU (or independent temperature control module). A temperature sensor is installed near the radiator. When the water temperature is detected to be lower than the set threshold (e.g., 60°C), the ECU controls the electric push rod 7 to move to the right, and the baffle assembly 9 gradually closes the ventilation hole 6. When the water temperature rises to the normal operating range (e.g., 85°C), the electric push rod 7 moves to the left, and the ventilation hole 6 is fully opened. When the water temperature exceeds 95°C (which can be set by the ECU), even in low temperature mode, the electric push rod 7 will still forcibly move to the left to open the ventilation hole 6 to ensure heat dissipation is prioritized.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-4 The corresponding shields in the two sets of shield assemblies 9 are fixedly connected by a supporting arc plate 11, which can further improve the movement stability between the two sets of shield assemblies 9. A guide groove 12 is opened on the surface of the shield assembly 9 near the anti-collision protection plate 5. A guide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the anti-collision protection plate 5. The guide rail 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove 12. The guide rail 13 has a T-shaped cross section, and the guide groove 12 is a matching T-shaped slide groove. The shield can move left and right linearly along its path outside the guide rail 13 with the cooperation of the guide groove 12, which can guide and limit the movement of the shield assemblies 9 and reduce the risk of deviation. A limiting arc plate 14 is fixedly connected in the gap between the left connecting plate 1 and the right connecting plate 2. The surface of the limiting arc plate 14 near the anti-collision protection plate 5 is in contact with the outer wall of the shield assemblies 9. The limiting arc plate 14 can further guide and limit the movement of the shield assemblies 9 and reduce the risk of the shield assemblies 9 detaching from the anti-collision protection plate 5.

[0033] Working principle: After the device is installed on the outside of the water tank at the bottom of the transport vehicle by the cooperation of bolts and mounting holes 3, the two anti-collision protective plates 5 and the three anti-collision crossbeams 4 form a protective whole, which can shield and protect the outside of the water tank, avoiding the water tank from being broken or the fan blades damaged by the collision of gravel and debris kicked up by the tires during the vehicle's operation. At the same time, the airflow generated during the vehicle's operation can flow to the surface of the water tank through the ventilation holes 6, improving the heat dissipation effect of the water tank.

[0034] When parking / starting in extreme low temperatures, the electric push rod 7 can be activated to move the baffle assembly 9 to the right, completely blocking the vent 6 and reducing cold air intrusion, thus accelerating the recovery of water temperature (when starting the engine from a cold state, the water temperature needs to be quickly raised to the normal operating range of 80-90℃. At this time, blocking the vent 6 can reduce the amount of cold air that directly carries away the heat from the water tank through the vent 6, shorten the warm-up time, and reduce engine wear in a cold state). When driving short distances in low temperatures, 50%-70% of the vent 6 can be blocked to prevent the water temperature from remaining low for a long time. When driving under high load or when the ambient temperature rises, the vent 6 can be fully opened to ensure normal heat dissipation from the water tank.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
