Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank truck technology, specifically to a tank support device for tank trucks. Background Technology
[0002] Tank trucks are transport vehicles with a tank-shaped body, used to transport various liquids, liquefied gases, and powdered goods, including gasoline, crude oil, various viscous oils, vegetable oils, liquid ammonia, alcohol, water, various acid and alkaline liquids, cement lead oxide powder, etc. Most tank trucks consist of two main parts: the tank body and the underframe, both of which are integral load-bearing structures.
[0003] In the prior art, to prevent the liquid from impacting the tank body when it generates waves inside, vertical partitions are generally installed inside the tank body to divide the liquid flow space, reduce the height and energy of the waves, and thus reduce the impact force of the liquid on the tank body. However, the energy generated by the liquid during wave motion will still act on the tank body. Since the tank body is only connected to the vehicle body through a welded structure at the bottom, the service life of the welded structure will be reduced under long-term impact from the liquid. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tank support device for tank trucks, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A tank support device for a tanker truck is installed between the vehicle body 11 and the tank body 13. It includes a main frame 1, and a pair of connecting plates 2 are provided on opposite sides of the main frame 1. Two connecting plates 2 on one side of the main frame 1 are in contact with the vehicle body 11, and two connecting plates 2 on the other side of the main frame 1 are in contact with the tank body 13. A bracket 4 is provided between the two connecting plates 2 on the vehicle body 11 and between the two connecting plates 2 on the tank body 13. The bracket 4 is in contact with the main frame 1.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the main frame 1 is fixed between the vehicle body 11 and the tank 13 by four connecting plates 2, and the gap between the vehicle body 11 and the tank 13 is filled by setting brackets 4 between the connecting plates 2 and the main frame 1, thereby supporting the tank 13. In this way, the tank 13 is not only connected to the vehicle body 11 through the bottom welded structure, but also the side wall of the tank 13 can be connected to the vehicle body 11, which can distribute the energy of the liquid and thus extend the service life of the welded structure.
[0023] The bracket 4 is divided into a support part 41 and a fitting part 42. The two support parts 41 are located at both ends of the fitting part 42. The fitting part 42 is in contact with the main frame 1. The two support parts 41 are respectively set on the two connecting plates 2.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 Since the main frame 1 and the connecting plate 2 are not located in the same vertical plane, the support part 41 needs to be set at an angle. At this time, the connecting plate 2 can abut against the fitting part 42 through the support part 41, and the fitting part 42 can abut against the main frame 1. This not only ensures the overall structural strength, but also distributes the energy of the liquid step by step.
[0025] A fixing structure is connected between the support part 41 and the connecting plate 2. The fixing structure includes a receiving groove 9 and a limiting block 10. The receiving groove 9 is opened on the connecting plate 2, and the limiting block 10 is fixedly installed on the support part 41. The limiting block 10 is slidably connected in the receiving groove 9.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, by vertically moving the bracket 4, the support part 41 can drive the limiting block 10 to detach from the inside of the receiving groove 9, thereby enabling the bracket 4 to be disassembled as a whole between the two connecting plates 2, so as to facilitate the overall processing and transportation. In order to ensure stability, after the bracket 4 and the connecting plate 2 are connected by a fixing structure, the fitting part 42 can be fixedly connected to the main frame 1 by bolts to prevent the bracket 4 from falling off between the two connecting plates 2.
[0027] An adjustment assembly is connected between the main frame 1 and two opposite connecting plates 2. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment arm 5, a traction member 6, and a traction seat 8. The traction member 6 is vertically rotatably connected to the main frame 1. Two traction seats 8 are connected to the traction member 6. The traction seats 8 are hinged to the connecting plates 2 through the adjustment arm 5. The traction member 6 is a positive and negative threaded rod with opposite thread directions on both sides. The traction member 6 is threadedly connected to the positive and negative threaded rod. A handle 7 is fixedly installed on the smooth part in the middle of the positive and negative threaded rod.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate the installation of the main frame 1 and connecting plate 2 on the vehicle body 11 and tank body 13, an adjustment assembly is provided in this embodiment. By rotating the handle 7, the positive and negative threaded rods can be driven to rotate. When the positive and negative threaded rods rotate, they can simultaneously drive the two traction seats 8 to move closer or further apart. Since the overall length of the adjusting arm 5 is fixed, when the two traction seats 8 move closer together, the traction seats 8 can drive the two connecting plates 2 to move closer together with the cooperation of the adjusting arm 5, so that the horizontal distance between the two connecting plates 2 is reduced, making it easier to put the whole assembly into the gap between the vehicle body 11 and tank body 13. When the two traction seats 8 move further apart, the traction seats 8 can drive the two connecting plates 2 to move further apart with the cooperation of the adjusting arm 5, so that the horizontal distance between the two connecting plates 2 is increased, thereby allowing the connecting plates 2 to contact the vehicle body 11 and tank body 13 respectively, realizing the overall installation.
[0029] A connecting rod 12 is fixedly installed on both the vehicle body 11 and the tank body 13. A through hole 3 is opened on the connecting plate 2, and the connecting rod 12 passes through the through hole 3 axially.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 When connecting the connecting plate 2 to the vehicle body 11 and the tank body 13, the through hole 3 needs to be aligned with the connecting rod 12 so that the connecting plate 2 can fix the through hole 3 on the connecting rod 12 when moving horizontally, thereby preventing the main frame 1 from shifting during the vehicle body 11's operation.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
