Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining machinery, and in particular to a water tank support and a dump truck having the water tank support. Background Technology

[0002] Mining dump truck engines typically require expansion tanks for effective heat dissipation during operation. However, in actual assembly, the expansion tank bracket, needing to meet minimum installation height requirements, is usually a separate extension from the cab platform, leading to issues such as excessive length, material usage, and weight. This design not only increases costs but also complicates installation and transportation. While some existing expansion tank brackets employ lightweight designs to address this, this results in insufficient strength and stability. Furthermore, the lack of clamps to secure water pipes on the expansion tank bracket can lead to tangled water pipes and electrical wiring. Therefore, this design proposes an expansion tank bracket that solves these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water tank bracket and a dump truck, which can improve the stability and strength of the bracket, and increase the flexibility and adaptability of the bracket.

[0004] One embodiment of the present invention provides a water tank bracket for installing an expansion water tank of a dump truck onto the frame of the dump truck. The water tank bracket includes a base frame for connecting to the frame, two main beams fixedly connected to the base frame and for connecting the expansion water tank, and a top beam connected between the top ends of the two main beams. At least one of the base frame and the main beams is a square tube structure.

[0005] Furthermore, the water tank support also includes a fixing beam, which includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate. The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are both straight strips and are respectively arranged in two mutually perpendicular planes. One side of the first fixing plate is connected to one side of the second fixing plate. The two ends of the first fixing plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two main beams, and the plane where the second fixing plate is located is perpendicular to the length direction of the two main beams.

[0006] Furthermore, the distance between the second fixing plate and the base frame is 290mm-310mm.

[0007] Furthermore, the water tank bracket also includes a fixing clamp for fixing the expansion tank water pipe, and the fixing clamp is installed on the first fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the water tank bracket also includes a fixing strip for securing the expansion tank water pipe to the main beam, the fixing strip being disposed on the outer side of at least one main beam.

[0009] Furthermore, the water tank bracket also includes U-bolts for fixing the radiator exhaust pipe, with both ends of the U-bolts mounted on the second fixing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank support also includes two reinforcing plates corresponding to the main beam. Each reinforcing plate is simultaneously welded to the base frame and the corresponding main beam, and the two main beams are set between the two reinforcing plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the water tank support also includes at least one reinforcing rib plate that is fixedly connected to both the main beam and the top beam. The reinforcing rib plate is in the shape of a triangular plate with two straight sides and one curved side. The two straight sides are welded to the main beam and the top beam respectively, and the length of the straight side welded to the main beam is greater than the length of the straight side welded to the top beam.

[0012] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a dump truck, including an expansion tank and the aforementioned tank bracket, wherein the expansion tank is fixedly connected to the main beam.

[0013] Furthermore, the dump truck also includes a radiator for heat exchange with the expansion tank, the radiator including an exhaust pipe, the tank bracket including a U-bolt, and the exhaust pipe passing between the U-bolt and the fixed beam.

[0014] This utility model provides a water tank bracket and a dump truck. The water tank bracket includes a base frame, a main beam, and a top beam.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the description of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a water tank bracket for mounting an expansion tank 10 of a dump truck to a frame 12 of the dump truck. The water tank bracket includes a base frame 1, two main beams 2, and a top beam 3. The base frame 1 is used to connect to the dump truck frame 12 and has multiple mounting holes through which the water tank bracket can be fixedly connected to the dump truck frame 12. The main beams 2 are used to connect the expansion tank 10, and the two main beams 2 are fixedly connected to the base frame 1 by full welding. The main beams 2 also have multiple connection holes through which the expansion tank 10 can be fixedly connected to the main beams 2. The top beam 3 connects between the top ends of the two main beams 2. At least one of the base frame 1 and the main beams 2 is a square tube structure. In a further embodiment, the square tube structure is preferably a rectangular square tube structure. The rectangular square tube structure has higher bending and torsional resistance, and the rectangular shape optimizes space utilization, facilitates cutting, welding, and overall assembly, and meets the needs of large-scale industrial production.

[0023] The water tank support also includes a fixing beam 4, which comprises a first fixing plate 41 and a second fixing plate 42. Both the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42 are straight strips and are arranged in two mutually perpendicular planes. One side of the first fixing plate 41 is connected to one side of the second fixing plate 42, forming an L-shaped plate structure. The first fixing plate 41 is used to connect to the main beam 2, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two main beams 2 respectively. The second fixing plate 42 is used to fix U-bolts 6, and its plane is perpendicular to the length direction of the two main beams 2. The distance between the second fixing plate 42 and the base frame support is 290mm-320mm, preferably 300mm, to ensure that the air outlet pipe of the dump truck's air filter can pass smoothly.

[0024] Furthermore, the water tank bracket also includes a fixing clamp 5 and a U-bolt 6. The fixing clamp 5 is used to fix the water pipe 100 of the expansion tank 10 and is mounted on the first fixing plate 41. The U-bolt 6 is used to fix the air outlet pipe 110 of the radiator 11, and both ends of the U-bolt 6 are mounted on the second fixing plate 42. Multiple adjustment holes 40 are provided on the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42. The adjustment holes 40 can adjust the connection positions of the fixing clamp 5, the U-bolt 6, and the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42. The two ends of the U-bolt 6 are respectively connected to two non-adjacent adjustment holes 40. The fixing clamp 5 is connected to the first fixing plate 41 via the adjustment holes 40, enabling the adjustment of the fixing clamp 5's position on the first fixing plate 41 to adapt to the installation requirements of different water pipe 100 layouts of different expansion tanks 10. Similarly, the U-bolt 6 is connected to the second fixing plate 42 via the adjustment holes 40, meeting the installation requirements of different water pipe layouts of different radiators 11. In a further embodiment, the fixing clamp 5 is preferably a rubber strip clamp, and the adjusting hole 40 is preferably a waist-shaped hole.

[0025] The water tank support also includes reinforcing plates 7 and at least one reinforcing rib plate 8. The reinforcing plate 7 is an isosceles trapezoidal plate used to reinforce the connection between the base frame 1 and the main beam 2. Its upper end is shorter than its lower end, and its lower end connects to the base frame 1, while its centerline connects to the main beam 2. There are two reinforcing plates 7, corresponding to the main beams 2. Each reinforcing plate 7 is simultaneously welded to both the base frame 1 and the corresponding main beam 2, with the two main beams 2 positioned between the two reinforcing plates 7. Furthermore, the welding method for the reinforcing plates 7 to the base frame 1 and the corresponding main beam 2 is preferably intermittent welding. Intermittent welding shortens the lever arm between the base frame 1 and the main beam 2, enhancing structural strength, and avoids the problem of perforation of thin plates that may occur with full welding, thus reducing material waste. To further enhance the rigidity of the support structure, stiffening ribs 8 are used to strengthen the connection between the main beam 2 and the top beam 3. They are also fixedly connected to the main beam 2 and the top beam 3. The stiffening ribs 8 are triangular plates with two straight sides and one curved side. The two straight sides are welded to the main beam 2 and the top beam 3 respectively. The length of the straight side welded to the main beam 2 is greater than the length of the straight side welded to the top beam 3. This design is more conducive to preventing the main beam 2 from bending and tilting.

[0026] In addition, the water tank bracket also includes at least one fixing strip 9, which is used to fix the water pipe 100 of the expansion water tank 10 to the main beam 2 and is located on the outside of at least one main beam 1. This can prevent water pipes and wires from becoming tangled and reduce the working efficiency of the dump truck.

[0027] In summary, the above-described embodiments of this utility model provide a water tank bracket for mounting the expansion water tank 10 of a dump truck onto the truck frame 12. The water tank bracket includes a base frame 1, a main beam 2, and a top beam 3. At least one of the base frame 1 and the main beam 2 is a square tube structure, which provides high stability under pressure and tension, optimizes space utilization, and facilitates processing and assembly. The water tank bracket also includes a fixing beam 4 with oblong adjustment holes 41, allowing adjustment of the positions of the fixing clamps 5 and U-bolts 6. This allows for flexible arrangement of water pipes and fixing components according to actual needs, adapting to different installation environments and requirements. Furthermore, the water tank bracket includes a reinforcing plate 7, which is fixedly connected to the base frame 1 and the main beam 2 using intermittent welding technology. This not only further enhances the strength of the bracket but also avoids material damage caused by excessive welding, improving the manufacturing quality and durability of the product, thereby achieving a stable connection of the expansion water tank 10.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a dump truck, including an expansion tank 10 and the aforementioned tank bracket. The expansion tank 10 is fixedly connected to the main beam 2 through a connecting hole on the main beam 2. The expansion tank 10 includes a water pipe 100. The water pipe 100 of the expansion tank 10 can be first fixed to the main beam 2 by a fixing strip 9, and then fixed to the fixing beam 4 by passing through a fixing clamp 5, so that the water pipe 100 can be arranged in an orderly and regular manner, avoiding pipeline chaos, thereby reducing the working efficiency of the dump truck.

[0029] Furthermore, the dump truck also includes a radiator 11 for heat exchange with the expansion tank 10. The radiator 11 includes an exhaust pipe 110 that rests on a U-bolt 6 and passes through the area between the U-bolt 6 and the fixing beam 4, reducing deformation caused by bumps during dump truck operation. The dump truck also includes a frame 12, and the entire water tank support is mounted on the platform of the frame 12 on the right side of the dump truck cab through mounting holes on the underframe 1, ensuring that the water tank support can be securely mounted on the dump truck.

[0030] In summary, another embodiment of this utility model provides a dump truck, including an expansion tank 10, a radiator 11, and a frame 12. The water pipes 100 of the expansion tank 10 are fixed to the main beam 2 by fixing strips 9 and then to the fixing beam 4 by fixing clamps 5, allowing the water pipes 100 of the expansion tank 10 to be arranged in an orderly and neat manner, avoiding pipe chaos and thus reducing the working efficiency of the dump truck. The air outlet pipe 110 of the radiator 11 passes between the U-bolt 6 and the fixing beam 4, preventing the air outlet pipe 110 from bumping and reducing deformation during the operation of the dump truck. This design of the water tank bracket not only ensures that the expansion tank 10 of the dump truck is stably connected to the frame 12, but also improves the working efficiency and durability of the dump truck.

[0031] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
