Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor equipment technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted platform water tank device. Background Technology

[0002] In outdoor travel activities, vehicle water tanks are widely used as important water storage equipment to provide water supply for vehicles and travelers. They are used for self-driving camping, off-road adventures or long-distance treks. Most existing vehicle water tanks are designed in a long strip shape with an internal cavity structure for storing water. They are usually directly fixed to the side of the roof rack by bolts.

[0003] However, most traditional vehicle water tanks use an open top inlet design, requiring users to lift bottled water or portable buckets to the roof and manually pour them into the tank. Each time water is added, users can only choose to climb to the roof, either using temporary supports such as the vehicle's side steps or spare tire, or using a folding ladder. Both methods pose safety hazards and are quite strenuous. In addition, existing vehicle water tanks are rigidly connected to the roof rack by bolts, requiring wrenches, screwdrivers, and other tools to unscrew each bolt during disassembly, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted platform water tank device to solve the problem of inconvenient water filling in existing water tanks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vehicle-mounted platform water tank device, comprising:

[0006] A water tank, with a water pump installed on one side of the water tank, and a battery compartment installed on the side of the water tank near the water pump;

[0007] A crossbeam is fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle, and the water tank is movably installed above the crossbeam.

[0008] The disassembly and assembly mechanism is located on one side of the crossbeam. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes four fixing strips, which are located on both sides of the water tank and fixedly connected to the water tank. A locking disc is connected to one side of each fixing strip. A base block is fixedly installed on one side of the crossbeam. The base block has a lower plate groove, and the locking disc is inserted into the lower plate groove. A top block is movably installed on one side of the base block, and an upper plate groove is opened on one side of the top block, which covers the outside of the locking disc.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing strip away from the water tank, and the end of the connecting shaft near the locking disc is fixedly connected to the locking disc. The bottom block is set on the outside of the crossbeam near the locking disc, the lower plate groove is set on the top of the bottom block, and the locking disc is in contact with the inner wall of the lower plate groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the top block is hinged to the side of the bottom block, the locking disc is fitted to the inner wall of the upper plate groove, a side block is fixedly installed on the side of the bottom block away from the top block, a threaded hole is opened at the top of the side block, a side plate is fixedly installed on one side of the top block, and a bolt is movably installed on the side plate through an opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the bolt is threadedly fitted to the threaded hole, a knob is fixedly installed at one end of the bolt, and a limit block is fixedly installed on the outside of the bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective mechanism is provided on one side of the water tank. The protective mechanism includes a guardrail, a first support plate, a second support plate, a first disc, a second disc, a fixed toothed disc, a movable toothed disc, and a spring. Guardrails are movably installed on both sides of the water tank. A first support plate and a second support plate are fixedly installed on the side of the water tank closest to the guardrail. The first support plate and the second support plate are located at both ends of the guardrail.

[0013] Furthermore, a first disc is fixedly installed at the top of the first support plate, a second disc is fixedly installed at the top of the second support plate, a rotating shaft is movably installed between the first disc and the second disc, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the guardrail, a fixed toothed disc is fixedly installed inside the first disc, and a movable toothed disc is movably installed inside the first disc, the fixed toothed disc and the movable toothed disc mesh.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating plate is movably installed inside the first disk, the rotating plate is connected to the rotating shaft via a shaft drive, a spring is connected between the movable gear disk and the rotating plate, and a button is inserted into the side of the first disk away from the rotating plate through an opening, one end of the button passing through the fixed gear disk and being fixedly connected to the movable gear disk.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the vehicle-mounted platform water tank device provided by this utility model achieves automatic water pumping by setting up a water pump and a storage battery. Users do not need to climb to the roof to manually pour water. They only need to connect the water inlet pipe to an external water source and start the water pump to complete the water filling. This avoids the risk of falling due to climbing in traditional methods and solves the technical problems of cumbersome operation and safety hazards in the water filling process of existing vehicle-mounted water tanks. It is simple and convenient to operate, and has high safety. The water tank can also be used as a sunroof sunshade, luggage storage platform, outdoor tent bracket, and side tent support structure. One set of equipment can meet multiple needs in outdoor travel, such as water storage, load-bearing, sunshade, lighting, camping setup, and tactical expansion. It reduces the space occupied on the roof and the load on the whole vehicle, and reduces procurement and maintenance costs.

[0016] The design of the disassembly and assembly mechanism enables quick disassembly and assembly between the water tank and the crossbeam. During installation, the locking discs on both sides of the water tank are aligned with the lower plate groove on the crossbeam and inserted vertically to achieve initial positioning. Then, the top block is flipped so that the upper plate groove covers the locking disc to form a closed limiting structure. Finally, the bolts are screwed into the threaded holes by manually rotating the knob to complete the locking and fixing. The entire disassembly and assembly process does not require the use of external tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. It can be completed by a single person in a short time, which greatly facilitates the daily cleaning, disinfection, winter storage, or fault repair of the water tank, and improves the maintenance convenience and long-term hygiene and safety of the device.

[0017] The protective mechanism effectively prevents outdoor items such as luggage, tents, and sleeping bags placed on top of the water tank from sliding or falling off the side during vehicle operation. The guardrail is installed on both sides of the water tank via a pivot and can be flipped up to form a barrier structure. Its angle locking is achieved by the engagement of a fixed toothed disc and a movable toothed disc. When the guardrail is flipped to the desired position, a spring pushes the movable toothed disc to automatically engage with the fixed toothed disc, achieving self-locking. To lay it down, simply press the button to disengage the movable toothed disc from the fixed toothed disc, allowing the guardrail to flip freely. The structure is simple to operate, responsive, reliable in locking, and provides good protection, ensuring the safe storage of items in complex road conditions without affecting the convenience of retrieving and placing items.
