AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the current technology, microvans have both fuel tanks and natural gas cylinders installed on the chassis, which makes it difficult to meet users' range requirements. In addition, the installation is not aesthetically pleasing and affects traffic in height-restricted areas.

Method used

A main natural gas cylinder and an auxiliary natural gas cylinder are installed on the chassis of a minivan. The auxiliary natural gas cylinder is fixed to the third crossbeam, auxiliary crossbeam, and auxiliary longitudinal beam through auxiliary crossbeams, auxiliary longitudinal beams, and strapping components, thereby increasing the natural gas storage capacity and ensuring installation stability and load-bearing strength.

Benefits of technology

It increases the natural gas storage capacity of the minivan, improving its driving range, while meeting the vehicle chassis layout requirements without requiring extensive chassis modifications, saving R&D costs, and offering good installation stability.

Abstract

The utility model provides a fuel storage device of micro van belongs to vehicle engineering fuel storage piece arrangement technical field. The device passes through the auxiliary crossbeam of fixed connection in a side longitudinal beam, the auxiliary longitudinal beam of fixed connection in first crossbeam and second crossbeam on two ends respectively, then by the design of the bandage part that simultaneously and the third crossbeam, the auxiliary crossbeam and auxiliary longitudinal beam three fixed connection of vice natural gas bottle, solves the problem that the existing technology micro face chassis installs oil tank and natural gas bottle simultaneously, is difficult to satisfy the problem of the requirement of the cruising range. Vice natural gas bottle part includes: auxiliary crossbeam, fixed connection in a side longitudinal beam; Auxiliary longitudinal beam, two ends are fixed in first crossbeam and second crossbeam respectively, and the auxiliary longitudinal beam and auxiliary crossbeam are opposite in the horizontal direction; Vice natural gas bottle, longitudinal installation is on the chassis, and the front part is located on the third crossbeam, and is located between the auxiliary crossbeam and auxiliary longitudinal beam; Bandage part, simultaneously and the third crossbeam, auxiliary crossbeam, auxiliary longitudinal beam three fixed connection of vice natural gas bottle.
