[0016] 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 the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1-2As shown, a fuel tank bracket for a semi-trailer in this embodiment includes a fuel tank bracket body 2. A T-shaped insert 4 is mounted on the back of the fuel tank bracket body 2. Two rows of limiting holes 3 are symmetrically opened on the two side walls of the T-shaped insert 4. A mounting plate 6 is provided on one side of the T-shaped insert 4. A rail 5 is installed on the mounting plate 6 opposite to the T-shaped insert 4. A limiting component 8 is installed on each side wall of the rail 5. The limiting component 8 includes a pull cover 801, a limiting post 802, and a spring 803. When installing the fuel tank bracket body 2, the mounting plate 6 is first installed on the semi-trailer frame with the help of external bolts. Then, the pull cover 801 is pulled outward to allow the limiting post 802 to move outward. The spring 803 is in a stretched state when the spring retracts into the side wall of the insertion rail 5. Then, the T-shaped plug 4 on the fuel tank bracket body 2 is inserted into the insertion rail 5, and the pull cover 801 is released. After the external force on the pull cover 801 is removed, the limiting post 802 will be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 3 under the rebound reset action of the spring 803, thereby realizing the reliable limiting of the fuel tank bracket body 2 on the insertion rail 5 and ensuring the quick installation of the fuel tank bracket body 2. Similarly, when the fuel tank bracket body 2 is deformed and damaged in the later stage and needs to be replaced, the pull cover 801 can be pulled outward to realize the quick disassembly of the fuel tank bracket body 2, so as to facilitate subsequent replacement and maintenance.

[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fuel tank bracket body 2 is formed in one piece by bending process. Two connecting blocks 1 are also symmetrically welded on the side of the fuel tank bracket body 2 away from the T-shaped plug 4. The connecting blocks 1 have holes and are mainly locked to the end of the external fuel tank fixing steel strip, so as to realize the stable installation of the fuel tank on the fuel tank bracket. The T-shaped plug 4 is welded to the fuel tank bracket body 2.

[0019] The size of the T-shaped insert 4 matches the size of the pre-reserved opening on the upper side of the insert rail 5. This design ensures that the T-shaped insert 4 can be smoothly inserted into the insert rail 5. The insert rail 5 is welded to the mounting plate 6. The side wall and top of the insert rail 5 facing the T-shaped insert 4 are open structures, while the bottom of the insert rail 5 is a sealed structure. The inner side of the insert rail 5 has a T-shaped groove structure, which allows for initial positioning of the T-shaped insert 4 by using the side retaining structures. The pull cover 801 is a rectangular strip-shaped cover, which is welded to the limiting post 802. The pull cover 801 has a pull handle for convenient external... When pulled, the limiting post 802, facing away from the pull cover 801, passes through the side wall of the insertion rail 5 and slides with the insertion rail 5. After the limiting post 802 is inserted into the limiting hole 3, it can ensure the reliable positioning of the T-shaped insertion block 4 on the insertion rail 5 and prevent it from loosening due to bumps during vehicle travel. The spring 803 is located outside the limiting post 802 inside the pull cover 801. One end of the spring 803 is welded to the pull cover 801, and the other end of the spring 803 is inserted into the side wall of the insertion rail 5. The limiting post 802 passes through the spring 803. The spring 803 is mainly used to realize the automatic reset of the pull cover 801 after it is pulled outward.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, two rows of mounting holes 7 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the insertion rail 5 on the mounting plate 6. The mounting holes 7 penetrate the mounting plate 6 and cooperate with external bolts to realize the reliable installation of the mounting plate 6 on the semi-trailer frame.

[0021] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: When installing the fuel tank bracket body 2, the mounting plate 6 is first installed on the semi-trailer frame using external bolts. Then, the pull cover 801 is pulled outward so that the limiting post 802 retracts into the side wall of the insertion rail 5. At this time, the spring 803 is in a stretched state. Next, the T-shaped insert 4 on the fuel tank bracket body 2 is inserted into the insertion rail 5, and the pull cover 801 is released. After the external force on the pull cover 801 is removed, the limiting post 802 will be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 3 under the rebound and reset action of the spring 803, thereby achieving reliable limiting of the fuel tank bracket body 2 on the insertion rail 5. The positioning ensures the quick installation of the fuel tank bracket body 2. Similarly, when the fuel tank bracket body 2 is deformed and damaged and needs to be replaced, simply pull out the cover 801 to quickly disassemble the fuel tank bracket body 2, facilitating subsequent replacement and maintenance. Due to the action of the T-shaped insert 4, the limiting hole 3, the insert rail 5, and the limiting component 8, the fuel tank bracket body 2 can be quickly disassembled and replaced by pulling and inserting when it is damaged after long-term use, avoiding the tedious operation of repeatedly turning the bolts for disassembly and replacement, thus making the replacement and maintenance efficiency of the semi-trailer fuel tank bracket higher.
