Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile tanker body technology, specifically, it relates to a highly stable heavy-duty automobile tanker body. Background Technology
[0002] The advantages of semi-trailer trucks in road transport are obvious, providing great convenience for door-to-door delivery. Solid and gaseous goods are generally easy to store and move, requiring little special protection or attention during road transport. However, the transport of liquids, semi-liquids, and other fluid or fluid-like goods has always been a critical consideration for stability and safety in road transport due to their complex dynamics and kinematics.
[0003] Semi-trailer tank trucks transporting liquid in a partially or nearly full state are prone to significant swaying, easily leading to stability and safety issues. A common practice is to install baffles inside the tank to reduce longitudinal swaying of the liquid. Most research institutes and OEMs make slight adjustments to the structure of the baffles and their connection to the tank to reduce liquid swaying and improve tank stability and safety. Structurally, semi-trailer tank trucks consist of a tractor unit and a tank (some truck-trailers also include a trailer, making it a three-part system). This structural characteristic results in poorer handling stability and a higher accident rate compared to integral medium and heavy-duty trucks. The unique characteristics of the goods transported by tank trucks exacerbate these stability and safety problems.
[0004] Semi-trailer tank trucks typically have long bodies. When driving on continuous slopes (irregular uphill and downhill sections, random mountain roads), the cargo (oil) will inevitably sway, especially during starting and braking, when the swaying of the cargo (oil) is significantly aggravated. Existing tank baffle structures are insufficient to solve this problem.
[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a highly stable heavy-duty vehicle tank. The basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows:
[0007] A high-stability heavy-duty truck tank includes a tank body, wave-damping longitudinal plates, and wave-damping transverse plates. The wave-damping longitudinal plates are arranged vertically, and the wave-damping transverse plates are arranged horizontally, intersecting each other. There are several wave-damping longitudinal plates stacked along the horizontal longitudinal axis of the tank body, and there are at least two wave-damping transverse plates stacked vertically along the vertical longitudinal axis of the tank body. Both the wave-damping longitudinal plates and the wave-damping transverse plates are provided with maintenance holes. The top of the wave-damping longitudinal plate is provided with a vent hole, and the bottom of the wave-damping longitudinal plate is provided with a liquid passage hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the angle between the wave-damping longitudinal plate and the horizontal long axis of the tank is 0 to 10°, and the wave-damping longitudinal plate is inclined in the direction of vehicle movement.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of wave-damping longitudinal plates is even, and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the longitudinal central axis of the tank.
[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent longitudinal plates is D, and the value of D gradually decreases from the longitudinal centerline of the tank to both sides.
[0011] Furthermore, the ratio of two adjacent D values is η, and the value of η ranges from 0.5 to 1.
[0012] Furthermore, the wave-blocking plate is provided with several liquid-gas flow holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the wave-breaking horizontal plate is provided with several maintenance holes, one of which is located in each partition formed by the intersection of the wave-breaking horizontal plate and the wave-breaking vertical plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.
[0015] This utility model adds a horizontal anti-surge cross plate to the traditional anti-surge longitudinal plate. The cross plate can reduce the lateral swaying of the liquid, effectively improving the vehicle's driving stability. Especially when driving on continuous slopes (irregular uphill and downhill, random mountain roads), it can significantly reduce the swaying caused by the loaded cargo (oil). It has a good anti-swaying effect, especially during the starting and parking braking stages, avoiding the damage caused by the vehicle overturning while driving, and improving the overall handling stability and safety of the semi-trailer tanker truck.

[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the attached diagram, a high-stability heavy-duty truck tank body according to this embodiment includes a tank body 6, wave-damping longitudinal plates 1, and wave-damping transverse plates 2. Referring to the schematic diagram, the wave-damping longitudinal plates 1 are vertically arranged, and the wave-damping transverse plates 2 are horizontally arranged, with the longitudinal plates 1 and transverse plates 2 intersecting. Several wave-damping longitudinal plates 1 are stacked along the horizontal longitudinal axis of the tank body 6, dividing the tank body 6 into multiple front and rear sections. Two wave-damping transverse plates 2 are stacked vertically along the vertical longitudinal axis of the tank body 6. Figure 1 Illustration. Maintenance holes 3 are provided on both the longitudinal baffle 1 and the transverse baffle 2. The longitudinal baffle 1 has a vent 4 at its top and a liquid passage 5 at its bottom. The transverse baffle 2 has several liquid-gas flow holes (not shown in the attached diagram). Each partition formed by the intersection of the transverse baffle 2 and the longitudinal baffle 1 contains a maintenance hole 3. Traditional tank bodies 6 only have longitudinal plates; the addition of transverse plates here reduces the inertia of liquid swaying from side to side, enhancing the stability of the tank body.
[0031] To enhance the long-axis stability of the tank body 6, the angle between the baffle plate 1 and the horizontal long axis of the tank body 6 is 0° to 10°, selected according to requirements. The tilt angle is towards the direction of vehicle movement, such as a tilt of 5°. Figure 3 (Illustrative image) The inclined plates can achieve this. In this example, there are four longitudinal breakwater plates 1, namely the first longitudinal plate 11, the second longitudinal plate 12, the third longitudinal plate 13, and the fourth longitudinal plate 14 (see diagram). Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the plates are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the longitudinal central axis 61 of the tank body 6, and the distance between adjacent longitudinal plates is D. The value of D gradually decreases from the longitudinal central axis 61 of the tank body 6 towards both sides. Preferably, the ratio of two adjacent D values is η, and the value of η ranges from 0.5 to 1. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 The diagram shows that the distance between the second longitudinal plate 12 and the third longitudinal plate 13 is D0, the distance between the first longitudinal plate 11 and the second longitudinal plate 12 is D1, the distance between the third longitudinal plate 13 and the fourth longitudinal plate 14 is D1, the distance between the first longitudinal plate 11 and the side wall of the tank 6 is D2, and the distance between the fourth longitudinal plate 14 and the side wall of the tank 6 is D2. The relationship between these distances is then derived.
[0032]
[0033] In this formula, η represents the ratio of the spacing between the wave deflectors, and its value ranges from 0.5 to 1. In this embodiment, it is taken as 0.5.
[0034] Based on the overall structural design of the tank body 6 and the application of the baffles, this utility model adds a set of horizontal stability baffles 2. Taking into account the existing and increased number of baffles and the actual effect of reducing the sloshing of liquid cargo, the structure and tilt angle of all baffles are optimized to prevent the sloshing of liquid cargo as much as possible. Especially when driving on continuous slopes (irregular uphill and downhill, random mountain roads), it can significantly reduce the sloshing caused by the cargo (oil). It has a good sloshing suppression effect, especially during the starting and stopping braking stages, avoiding the hazards caused by the vehicle overturning during driving, and improving the handling stability and safety of the entire semi-trailer tanker truck.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
