Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motorcycle parts technology, specifically relating to a fuel tank mounting structure and a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional motorcycle fuel tanks are typically rigidly fixed to the frame directly with multiple bolts. When it is necessary to inspect the engine or other components located below the fuel tank, all these bolts must be completely removed to remove the fuel tank, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and can easily damage the threaded holes on the fuel tank or frame during the process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the technical problem in the prior art that motorcycle fuel tanks need to be completely disassembled for inspection and repair.

[0004] The first aspect of this utility model provides a fuel tank mounting structure, including:

[0005] tank;

[0006] A bracket for securing the motorcycle to its frame;

[0007] The tail end of the oil tank is connected to the bracket via a rotating connector, allowing the oil tank to rotate relative to the bracket about a rotation axis.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating connector includes a first connecting portion disposed at the tail end of the oil tank, a second connecting portion disposed on the bracket, and a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft passing through the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion in sequence to connect the oil tank and the bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting part includes two side plates arranged opposite to each other and perpendicular to the rotation axis, and a main board connecting the two side plates, wherein the side plates are provided with a first mounting hole;

[0010] The second connecting part includes two opposing lugs, and the lugs are provided with a second mounting hole;

[0011] The rotating shaft passes through both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the bracket includes two oppositely arranged side seats and a top plate connecting the side seats, and the lugs are vertically arranged at the top of the top plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both the motherboard and the side plate are integrally formed with the fuel tank.

[0014] The second aspect of this utility model provides a motorcycle, including the fuel tank mounting structure as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the rear end of the fuel tank is rotatably connected to the bracket via a rotating connector, thereby allowing the fuel tank to rotate upwards or downwards relative to the bracket around a rotation axis that extends substantially along the lateral direction of the motorcycle body. This allows for maintenance of the electrical components and wiring at the bottom of the fuel tank without disassembling it, thus facilitating convenient maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This application provides a motorcycle whose fuel tank mounting structure facilitates maintenance of electrical components and wiring below the fuel tank 10.

[0028] The following is a detailed description of the fuel tank installation structure.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a fuel tank mounting structure, which mainly includes a fuel tank 10 and a bracket 20.

[0030] The bracket 20 is used to secure the fuel tank 10 to the motorcycle frame (not shown) by bolts, welding, or other suitable means. The rear end of the fuel tank 10 is rotatably connected to the bracket 20 via a rotating connector 30, allowing the fuel tank 10 to rotate upwards or downwards relative to the bracket 20 about a rotation axis that extends substantially laterally along the motorcycle body. This allows for maintenance and access to the electrical components and wiring at the bottom of the fuel tank 10 without disassembling it, facilitating convenient maintenance.

[0031] Specifically, the rotating connector 30 includes a first connecting part 31 disposed at the tail end of the oil tank 10, a second connecting part 32 disposed on the bracket 20, and a rotating shaft 33.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 31 and the main body of the oil tank 10 are integrally formed, for example, by metal stamping or plastic injection molding in one step. The first connecting part 31 includes two oppositely arranged side plates 311 perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and a main plate 312 connected between the two side plates 311. A pair of first mounting holes 313 are coaxially formed on the two side plates 311. The bracket 20 can be an independent sheet metal stamping part or casting. The bracket 20 includes two oppositely arranged side seats 21 and a top plate 22 connecting the two side seats 21. The second connecting part 32 includes two vertically upward extending lugs, which are integrally formed on the top of the top plate 22. A pair of second mounting holes 321 are coaxially formed on the two lugs.

[0033] During the installation of the fuel tank 10, the two side seats 21 of the bracket 20 are fixed to the corresponding positions on the motorcycle frame using screws or welding. Then, the first connecting part 31 at the rear end of the fuel tank 10 is placed between the two lugs of the bracket 20, i.e., the two lugs are inserted between the two side plates 311 of the first connecting part 31. At this time, the first mounting hole 313 on the side plate 311 of the first connecting part 31 is aligned with the second mounting hole 321 on the lug. Finally, the rotating shaft 33 is passed sequentially through the second mounting hole 321 of one side lug, the first mounting holes 313 of the two side plates 311, and the second mounting hole 321 of the other side lug, thereby hinged the fuel tank 10 and the bracket 20 together. The end of the rotating shaft 33 can be fixed with a nut or other fasteners to prevent the rotating shaft 33 from falling out of the first mounting hole 313 and the second mounting hole 321.

[0034] It should be understood that the pivot 33 in this application can be a bolt or a pin, which can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0035] In this application, the front end of the fuel tank 10 can be connected to the frame via one or more simple latches or other fastening structures. When maintenance is required, simply remove the fastening structure at the front end of the fuel tank 10, and using the rear end of the fuel tank 10 as a fulcrum, flip the fuel tank 10 upwards to stabilize it at a certain opening angle, thereby fully exposing the space underneath for easy maintenance. Due to the reliable connection and smooth rotation, this structure ensures the stability of the fuel tank 10 while the motorcycle is in motion and is also convenient for maintenance.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
