Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive equipment technology, specifically to a quick-installation mechanism for an automotive air tank. Background Technology
[0002] An automotive air reservoir is a device installed in a vehicle to store compressed air or gas. It is commonly used in air braking systems, suspension systems, or other systems requiring gas storage. Air reservoirs are generally made of metal and possess sufficient strength and sealing performance. They are typically connected to pipes, valves, sensors, and other components to ensure the storage, release, and control of the gas.
[0003] Vehicle air reservoirs are typically mounted on the car frame using a mounting bracket. The bracket usually consists of two interlocking clamps secured with bolts. During long-term driving, factors such as road bumps, engine vibration, and braking impacts can cause these clamps to loosen, necessitating periodic tightening. This is especially true in high-vibration environments such as heavy commercial vehicles and construction machinery, where the bolts securing the clamps may loosen. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-installation mechanism for vehicle air tanks, addressing the issue mentioned in the background art where, during long-term vehicle operation, factors such as road bumps, engine vibration, and braking impacts pose a risk of loosening, necessitating periodic tightening. This is particularly relevant in high-vibration environments such as heavy commercial vehicles and construction machinery, where the bolts securing the clamps may loosen.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-installation mechanism for a vehicle air tank, comprising a base plate and a mounting part:
[0006] The mounting part is located on the top of the base plate. The mounting part has a mounting frame located on the top of the base plate. The top surface of the mounting frame has a concave arc-shaped groove. A fixing ring is provided on the top of the mounting frame. The fixing ring cooperates with the mounting frame to fix the gas cylinder. Fixing bolts are provided at both ends of the fixing ring. A locking block is slidably provided inside the mounting frame. A spring a is provided at one end of the locking block. The locking block engages with the fixing bolt to fix the position of the fixing bolt.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped groove on the top surface of the mounting base can provide initial support and positioning for the gas storage cylinder. Then, the gas storage cylinder is firmly fixed by the cooperation of the fixing ring and the mounting base. At the same time, the locking block and the fixing bolt can be quickly and firmly fixed by the locking connection, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the fixing ring and the mounting base and realizing the rapid installation of the gas storage cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting part also has a transverse sliding groove opened laterally inside the mounting base, the locking block is embedded in the transverse sliding groove and is laterally slidably connected to the mounting base, two locking blocks are provided, the two locking blocks are mirror symmetrical along the center of the mounting base, the spring a is located between the locking block and the mounting base, and one end of the locking block extends to the outside of the mounting base.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a transverse sliding track can be provided for the locking block to slide laterally, ensuring that the locking block can slide stably within the mounting base. Two mirror-symmetrical locking blocks can simultaneously engage and secure the fixing bolts from both sides, improving the stability of the fixation.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting part also has a mounting groove vertically formed on the top of the mounting base, the mounting groove being connected to a transverse sliding groove, and the fixing bolt being embedded in the mounting groove and vertically slidingly connected to the mounting base.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting groove can be used to provide a vertical sliding channel for the fixing bolt, so that the fixing bolt can be accurately embedded in the mounting base.
[0012] Preferably, the fixing bolt has a slot on its side, the locking block is horizontally embedded in the slot and engaged with the fixing bolt, and the top of the locking block has an inclined surface that abuts against the bottom of the fixing bolt.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing bolt slides vertically downwards, its bottom will contact the inclined surface of the top of the locking block. As the fixing bolt continues to slide down, it will generate a lateral thrust on the locking block, causing the locking block to compress spring a and slide to both sides. When the fixing bolt slides down to the point where the locking groove is aligned with the locking block, the elastic force of spring a will cause the locking block to be horizontally embedded into the locking groove, realizing the automatic engagement of the locking block and the fixing bolt.
[0014] Preferably, the mounting part also has through holes on both sides of the fixing ring, through which the fixing bolt passes vertically and is slidably connected to the fixing ring.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing bolt can be accurately passed through the fixing ring through the perforation, thus ensuring the connection between the fixing ring and the fixing bolt.
[0016] Preferably, the mounting part also has a limiting bracket that is slidably disposed on the side of the mounting base, the limiting bracket abutting against the locking block.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting frame can be used to limit the locking block, preventing the locking block from accidentally sliding out of the locking bolt in a non-disassembly state.
[0018] Preferably, the mounting part also has a slider disposed on the side of the limiting frame, and the side of the mounting base is provided with a limiting groove, the slider being embedded in the limiting groove and vertically slidably connected to the mounting base.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider and the limiting groove can cooperate to provide a vertical sliding track for the limiting frame, so that the limiting frame can slide stably on the side of the mounting base.
[0020] Preferably, the mounting part also has a limiting post disposed inside the limiting groove, the limiting post vertically passing through the slider and slidably connected to the slider, and a spring b is nested outside the limiting post, the spring b being located at the bottom of the slider.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding direction of the slider can be further restricted by the limiting post, ensuring that the limiting frame can only slide in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability of the sliding of the limiting frame.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing an installation part, the arc-shaped groove on the top surface of the mounting base can provide initial support and positioning for the gas storage cylinder. Then, the gas storage cylinder is firmly fixed by the cooperation of the fixing ring and the mounting base. At the same time, the locking block and the fixing bolt can quickly and firmly fix the fixing bolt, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the fixing ring and the mounting base and realizing the rapid installation of the gas storage cylinder. By moving the limit frame upward, the limit frame is kept in contact with the locking block, limiting the locking block and preventing the locking block from accidentally sliding out of the locking bolt in the non-disassembly state, thus improving the stability and reliability of the installation mechanism.

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.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a quick-installation mechanism for a vehicle air tank, comprising a base plate 1 and a mounting part 2.
[0032] The mounting part 2 is located on the top of the base plate 1. The mounting part 2 has a mounting base 201 located on the top of the base plate 1. The top surface of the mounting base 201 has a concave arc-shaped groove. A fixing ring 211 is provided on the top of the mounting base 201. The fixing ring 211 and the mounting base 201 are combined to form a ring structure to clamp the gas cylinder. Fixing bolts 213 are provided at both ends of the fixing ring 211. A locking block 205 is laterally slidably arranged inside the mounting base 201. A spring a206 is provided at one end of the locking block 205. The locking block 205 engages with the fixing bolt 213 to fix the position of the fixing bolt 213. The arc groove on the top surface of the mounting base 201 can provide initial support and positioning for the gas cylinder. Then, the fixing ring 211 cooperates with the mounting base 201 to firmly fix the gas cylinder. At the same time, the engagement of the locking block 205 with the fixing bolt 213 can quickly and firmly fix the fixing bolt 213, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the fixing ring 211 and the mounting base 201 and realizing the rapid installation of the gas cylinder.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a quick-installation mechanism for a vehicle air tank, including an installation part 2.
[0035] A transverse sliding groove 203 is provided inside the mounting base 201. A locking block 205 is embedded in the transverse sliding groove 203 and slidably connected to the mounting base 201 laterally. Two locking blocks 205 are provided, mirror-symmetrically positioned around the center of the mounting base 201. A spring a 206 is located between the locking block 205 and the mounting base 201. One end of the locking block 205 extends to the outside of the mounting base 201. The transverse sliding groove 203 provides a track for the locking block 205 to slide laterally, ensuring stable sliding within the mounting base 201. The two mirror-symmetrical locking blocks 205 can simultaneously engage and secure the fixing bolt 213 from both sides, improving the stability of the fixation.
[0036] A mounting groove 202 is provided on the top of the mounting base 201. The mounting groove 202 is connected to the transverse sliding groove 203. The fixing bolt 213 is embedded in the mounting groove 202 and is vertically slidably connected to the mounting base 201. The mounting groove 202 can provide a vertical sliding channel for the fixing bolt 213, so that the fixing bolt 213 can be accurately embedded in the mounting base 201.
[0037] The fixing bolt 213 has a slot on its side. The locking block 205 is horizontally inserted into the slot and engaged with the fixing bolt 213. The top of the locking block 205 has an inclined surface that abuts against the bottom of the fixing bolt 213. When the fixing bolt 213 slides vertically downward, its bottom will contact the inclined surface at the top of the locking block 205. As the fixing bolt 213 continues to slide down, it will generate a lateral pushing force on the locking block 205, causing the locking block 205 to compress the spring a206 and slide to both sides. When the fixing bolt 213 slides down to the slot and aligns with the locking block 205, the elastic force of the spring a206 will cause the locking block 205 to be horizontally inserted into the slot, realizing the automatic engagement of the locking block 205 and the fixing bolt 213.
[0038] A through hole 212 is vertically provided on both sides of the fixing ring 211. The fixing bolt 213 passes vertically through the through hole 212 and is slidably connected to the fixing ring 211. The fixing bolt 213 can pass through the fixing ring 211 accurately through the through hole 212, ensuring the connection between the fixing ring 211 and the fixing bolt 213.
[0039] A limit bracket 209 is provided on the side of the mounting base 201. The limit bracket 209 abuts against the locking block 205. The limit bracket 209 can be used to limit the locking block 205 to prevent the locking block 205 from accidentally sliding out of the locking bolt 213 when not disassembled.
[0040] A slider 210 is provided on the side of the limiting frame 209, and a limiting groove 204 is provided on the side of the mounting base 201. The slider 210 is embedded in the limiting groove 204 and is vertically slidably connected to the mounting base 201. The slider 210 and the limiting groove 204 can cooperate to provide a vertical sliding track for the limiting frame 209, so that the limiting frame 209 can slide stably on the side of the mounting base 201.
[0041] A limiting post 207 is provided inside the limiting groove 204. The limiting post 207 vertically passes through the slider 210 and is slidably connected to the slider 210. A spring b208 is nested outside the limiting post 207. The spring b208 is located at the bottom of the slider 210. The limiting post 207 can be used to further restrict the sliding direction of the slider 210, ensuring that the limiting frame 209 can only slide in the vertical direction, thereby improving the sliding stability of the limiting frame 209.
[0042] Working principle: First, the air tank is placed in the arc-shaped groove on the top surface of the mounting base 201. The arc-shaped groove provides initial support and positioning for the air tank. Then, the limiting frame 209 is pressed down so that the lateral displacement of the locking block 205 is not obstructed. During the downward movement of the limiting frame 209, the slider 210 on the side of the limiting frame 209 slides vertically down along the limiting groove 204 on the side of the mounting base 201. During the downward movement, the slider 210 slides along the limiting post 207, and the spring b208 is compressed. Next, the fixing ring 211 is placed above the air tank, so that the fixing bolts 213 at both ends of the fixing ring 211 are aligned with the mounting groove 202 on the top of the mounting base 201 and the through holes 212 on both sides of the fixing ring 211. The fixing bolts 213 are vertically downward through the through holes 212 and embedded in the mounting groove 202. During the vertical downward movement of the fixing bolts 213, their bottoms will contact the inclined surface on the top of the locking block 205. As the fixing bolt 213 continues to slide down, it will exert a lateral pushing force on the locking block 205, causing the locking block 205 to compress the spring a206 and slide along the transverse groove 203 to both sides. When the fixing bolt 213 slides down to the side groove and aligns with the locking block 205, the elastic force of the spring a206 will cause the locking block 205 to be laterally embedded in the groove, realizing the automatic engagement of the locking block 205 and the fixing bolt 213, thereby fixing the position of the fixing bolt 213, and ensuring a stable connection between the fixing ring 211 and the mounting base 201, firmly fixing the air tank. Then, the limiting frame 209 is released. At this time, the elastic force of the spring b208 acts on the slider 210, and the limiting frame 209 moves upward, keeping the limiting frame 209 in contact with the locking block 205, limiting the locking block 205, preventing the locking block 205 from accidentally sliding out of the engagement with the fixing bolt 213 in a non-disassembly state, thus improving the stability and reliability of the installation mechanism.
