[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0028] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0029] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a heat-insulating and impact-resistant fuel tank.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a heat-insulating and anti-collision fuel tank, including a fuel tank body 100, a tank body protection mechanism 300 disposed outside the fuel tank body 100, and a tank cover anti-compression mechanism 200 installed on the tank body protection mechanism 300. The tank cover anti-compression mechanism 200 is used to provide stabilizing protection for the top and bottom of the fuel tank body 100, and at the same time improve the firmness of the tank body protection mechanism 300. The tank body protection mechanism 300 is used to provide anti-collision protection for the sides of the fuel tank body 100.
[0032] The tank cover anti-pressure mechanism 200 includes an anti-collision bottom plate 210 located directly below the tank body 100, an anti-collision top plate 220 located directly above the tank body 100, four pads 260 fixedly installed on the top of the anti-collision bottom plate 210, and a protective pad 270 placed on the top of the tank body 100 and bearing pressure on the anti-collision top plate 220.
[0033] The enclosure protection mechanism 300 includes four limiting clips 230, two outer cover plates 310 that are snapped between the anti-collision bottom plate 210 and the anti-collision top plate 220, one end of the outer cover plate 310 is provided with a heat exchange slot 3103, multiple vertical rods 330 installed inside the heat exchange slot 3103, multiple wind vanes 3301 installed outside the multiple vertical rods 330, and connecting rods 3302 that are movably installed on the multiple wind vanes 3301.
[0034] Two of the limiting clips 230 are fixedly installed on the anti-collision bottom plate 210, and the other two limiting clips 230 are fixedly installed on the anti-collision top plate 220;
[0035] The limiting clip 230 has four slots inside, and a pin 250 and a spring 240 located outside the pin 250 and inside the slot are movably installed in the slots.
[0036] A sleeve is fixedly installed on the top of the anti-collision top plate 220, and the pipe on the top of the fuel tank body 100 is adapted to pass through the sleeve.
[0037] The gasket 270 is made of rubber material, and the gasket 270 has a sleeve adapted to fit the sleeve inside.
[0038] Preferably, a gasket is fixedly installed on the inner side of the top of the wind vane 3301, and multiple evenly distributed columns are fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting rod 3302, while the columns are movably installed inside the gasket.
[0039] When it is necessary to change the direction of the airflow entering the pressure-resistant mechanism 200 of the tank cover and the protective mechanism 300 of the tank body, the wind vane 3301 is turned, and the other wind vanes 3301 will be tilted under the linkage of the connecting rod 3302. The external airflow will be quickly input along the adjusted wind vane 3301, which can effectively cool the tank body 100.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the outer cover plate 310 of the box has a U-shaped structure, and a rectangular protrusion is provided in the middle of the inner side of the outer cover plate 310. Two control points 3101 are opened inside the rectangular protrusion, and multiple heat exchange windows 3102 connected to the two control points 3101 are opened on the inner wall of the rectangular protrusion.
[0042] Multiple evenly distributed limiting holes 3104 are provided at both ends of the outer cover plate 310;
[0043] Multiple guide rods 320 are fixedly installed on the rectangular protrusion on the inner side of the outer cover plate 310, and the other end of the guide rod 320 is adapted to bear pressure on the outer wall of the limiting clip 230;
[0044] The outer and inner walls of the tank cover plate 310 are coated with a heat-insulating coating, and a cotton pad is provided on the side of the rectangular protrusion facing the tank body 100.
[0045] Preferably, after the anti-collision bottom plate 210 and anti-collision top plate 220 are pressed onto the bottom and top of the fuel tank body 100 respectively, the two tank outer cover plates 310 are snapped onto the outside of the four limiting clips 230, and the final pin 250 is precisely snapped into the inside of the limiting hole 3104. At this time, the two tank outer cover plates 310 can work with the anti-collision bottom plate 210 and the anti-collision top plate 220 to provide an effective protective structure for the fuel tank body 100.
[0046] When the vehicle carrying the device is driving on the road, the airflow will blow directly through the heat exchange slot 3103, and after the airflow flows in through the gaps inside the housing protection mechanism 300, the main body of the fuel tank 100 can be effectively cooled.
[0047] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The fuel tank body 100 is used as the assembly carrier. The fuel tank body 100 is placed on the top of the four pads 260. The two limiting clips 230 fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the anti-collision base plate 210 can limit and constrain the two ends of the fuel tank body 100. Then, the protective pad 270 is placed on the top of the fuel tank body 100, and the anti-collision top plate 220 is inserted into the top of the protective pad 270. At this time, the anti-collision base plate 210, the two limiting clips 230 and the anti-collision top plate 220 will limit and lock the bottom and top of the fuel tank body 100.
[0048] Next, quickly snap the two outer cover plates 310 along both sides of the fuel tank body 100 until the two outer cover plates 310, the anti-collision bottom plate 210, and the anti-collision top plate 220 can be fully assembled on the fuel tank body 100.
[0049] When the device is installed on a car, as the car moves, one of the heat exchange slots 3103 will actively introduce airflow into the gap of the device in the direction of the car's movement. At this time, the airflow will cool down the outer surface of the fuel tank body 100, and the car in operation can actively and continuously control the temperature of the fuel tank body 100. The two outer cover plates 310 can provide impact protection for the sides of the fuel tank body 100, and the impact protection bottom plate 210 and impact protection top plate 220 can also provide impact protection for the bottom and top of the fuel tank body 100.
[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.
