Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a windshield washer fluid reservoir and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Since windshield wipers are installed on the front windshields of vehicles, a washer fluid reservoir is installed in the engine compartment to supply the washer fluid. Traditional washer fluid reservoirs are usually fixed to the vehicle body using mounting brackets. During vehicle operation, the bumps and vibrations of the vehicle affect the washer fluid reservoir. Moreover, when the reservoir is full of washer fluid, its own weight is relatively large, and its vibration relative to the vehicle body will bring a significant impact to the mounting bracket. Over time, the cumulative impact can cause structural fatigue of the mounting bracket, thus posing a risk of bracket breakage. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to provide a wiper washer reservoir to improve the stability and durability of the reservoir mounting structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A windshield washer reservoir includes a reservoir body and a mounting structure integrally formed on the reservoir body; The mounting structure includes a plurality of mounting feet extending from the outer wall of the kettle body to the periphery of the kettle body, and a support seat protruding downward from the bottom of the kettle body; the mounting feet are used to connect the kettle body to the vehicle body; the support seat can abut against the vehicle body structure below to form support for the kettle body.

[0005] Furthermore, the top of the vessel is provided with an injection tube, and the mounting feet include a first mounting foot on the injection tube, a second mounting foot on the side of the vessel, and a third mounting foot on the bottom of the vessel; the first mounting foot and the second mounting foot are connected to the vehicle body through a bracket, and the third mounting foot is used to directly connect to the vehicle body structural component.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the support base is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the positioning protrusion is matched with the positioning hole on the vehicle body structural component.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wall of the container is provided with a liquid outlet. The wiper washer container also includes a liquid outlet pump mounting bracket integrally formed on the container and a liquid outlet pump mounted on the liquid outlet pump mounting bracket. The liquid outlet pump mounting bracket is provided corresponding to the liquid outlet, and the liquid outlet pump is connected to the interior of the container through the liquid outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid discharge pump mounting bracket includes a support plate that supports the bottom of the liquid discharge pump and side plates that are respectively disposed on both sides of the liquid discharge pump; each of the two side plates is provided with a retaining plate, and the liquid discharge pump is retained between the two retaining plates.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a wiring structure integrally formed on the kettle body; the wiring structure is used to provide arrangement space for the wiring harness of the surrounding components or to fix the wiring harness to the kettle body.

[0010] Furthermore, the wiring structure includes a snap-fit ​​fixing plate disposed on the side wall of the kettle body, and the snap-fit ​​fixing plate is capable of receiving the snap-fit ​​of the wire harness to fix the wire harness to the kettle body.

[0011] Furthermore, the wiring structure includes a wiring groove formed on the side wall of the pot body, and two limiting ribs are arranged opposite to each other on the inner walls of the two sides of the wiring groove; the wire harness can be laid into the wiring groove through the opening formed between the two limiting ribs, and is held in the wiring groove by the two limiting ribs.

[0012] Furthermore, the kettle body includes an upper shell and a lower shell that are fastened together, and the fastening parts of the upper shell and the lower shell are both formed with outwardly protruding flanges; the limiting rib is disposed near the flange, and the wire bundle arranged in the wiring groove is held between the limiting rib and the flange located on the inner wall of the wiring groove.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The wiper washer reservoir of this application can securely fix the reservoir body to the beams, sheet metal structures and other body parts in the front engine compartment by means of multiple mounting feet integrally formed on the reservoir body; at the same time, the support can press down against the front wheel arch sheet metal and other body structural parts, so that the body structural parts provide strong support for the reservoir body, and most of the weight of the reservoir body is borne by the body structural parts. This can greatly reduce the burden on each mounting foot, thereby reducing the structural fatigue and fracture risk of the mounting foot caused by vibration, which is conducive to improving the stability and durability of the washer reservoir mounting structure.

[0014] (2) By setting an injection pipe at the top of the container, glass molten glass can be added to the container through the inlet at the top of the injection pipe; based on the setting of the injection pipe, a first mounting foot can be set on the injection pipe to fix the top of the container to the relevant structural parts of the vehicle body; a second mounting foot is set on the side of the container and a third mounting foot is set on the bottom, which respectively ensures the reliable connection of the middle and bottom positions of the container to the vehicle body; the coordinated setting of the three mounting feet ensures the overall installation reliability of the container in the front engine compartment.

[0015] (3) Based on the support seat set at the bottom of the kettle body, the positioning protrusion at the bottom of the support seat can be positioned and matched with the corresponding positioning hole on the vehicle body structure to ensure the position of the kettle body on the vehicle body structure. This effectively prevents the kettle body from sliding and shifting on the vehicle body structure, ensuring the stability of the kettle body on the vehicle body structure, and ultimately making the entire installation structure of the washing kettle more durable.

[0016] (4) For the liquid outlet on the side wall of the kettle, a liquid outlet pump fixing bracket is set at the vicinity of it, which can effectively fix the liquid outlet pump of the washing kettle to the liquid outlet pump fixing bracket; the liquid outlet pump fixing bracket is integrally formed on the kettle body, which not only facilitates the manufacturing efficiency of the washing kettle through injection molding process, but also ensures the structural firmness of the liquid outlet pump fixing bracket on the kettle body, thus providing a solid installation foundation for the liquid outlet pump.

[0017] (5) The pump mounting bracket adopts a support plate and side plate arrangement. The support plate can provide good support for the pump from the bottom, while the side plates can provide good protection for the pump from the side. Moreover, with the help of the side plates, by setting the clamping plates on the side plates and using the snap-fit ​​structure formed between the two clamping plates, the pump can be well clamped between the two side plates, thereby realizing the quick assembly of the pump on the pump mounting bracket.

[0018] (6) By setting up a wiring structure on the kettle body, the wiring harnesses of the surrounding components can be fixed to the kettle body, or the wiring harnesses can be smoothly laid out by using the arrangement space or arrangement channel provided by the wiring structure, which is conducive to improving the compatibility of the washing kettle and the surrounding components in terms of installation and arrangement.

[0019] (7) By setting a buckle fixing plate on the side wall of the pot body, the wire harness of the surrounding components can be fixed on the buckle fixing plate by using the wire harness buckle, which provides good conditions for the arrangement of related wire harnesses.

[0020] (8) The recessed wiring groove formed on the kettle body can make full use of the narrow and irregular space in the front engine compartment, ensuring the capacity of the kettle body while providing good space for the wiring harness of the surrounding components. Moreover, the wiring harness of the surrounding components is arranged in the wiring groove, and the relatively closed space of the wiring groove can provide good protection for the wiring harness. Furthermore, the limiting ribs set on the inner wall of the wiring groove can effectively fix the wiring harness in the wiring groove, realizing good integration and adaptation between the washing kettle and the surrounding components.

[0021] (9) The body of the pot adopts a split structure, which is convenient for mold forming and also helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the pot body. The two shells are processed and formed separately, and then fastened together by the first fastening flange set on the upper shell and the second fastening flange set on the lower shell, which forms the closed space required by the pot body to contain the glass liquid.

[0030] Since windshield wipers are installed on the front windshields of vehicles, a washer fluid reservoir is installed in the engine compartment to supply the washer fluid. Traditional washer fluid reservoirs are usually fixed to the vehicle body using mounting brackets. During vehicle operation, the bumps and vibrations of the vehicle affect the washer fluid reservoir. Moreover, when the reservoir is full of washer fluid, its own weight is relatively large, and its vibration relative to the vehicle body will bring a significant impact to the mounting bracket. Over time, the cumulative impact can cause structural fatigue of the mounting bracket, thus posing a risk of bracket breakage.

[0031] To hold a sufficient amount of molten glass, the washer pitcher is relatively large. In the confined space of the forward engine compartment, the placement of the washer pitcher inevitably has an adverse impact on the installation of surrounding components. At the same time, some of the surrounding components need to be connected to electrical circuits, so the wiring harness layout of the surrounding components also requires certain space conditions. However, the space occupied by the washer pitcher often leads to difficulties in wiring harness layout.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, the placement of the wash tank in the forward engine compartment has adversely affected the arrangement of surrounding components and their wiring harnesses. Due to environmental and structural limitations, the wash tank is only used as a container for holding glass cleaning fluid and has not achieved the desired integration with surrounding components.

[0033] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the related technologies, this application innovatively proposes a brand-new wiper washer reservoir that can improve the compatibility of the washer reservoir with surrounding components in terms of installation and layout.

[0034] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0035] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a wiper washer reservoir; one exemplary structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0036] Overall, the windshield washer fluid reservoir includes a reservoir body 1 and a mounting structure integrally formed on the reservoir body 1. The mounting structure includes multiple mounting feet 2 extending from the outer wall of the reservoir body 1 outwards in all directions, and a support base 121 protruding downwards from the bottom of the reservoir body 1. The mounting feet 2 are used to connect the reservoir body 1 to the vehicle body; the support base 121 can abut against the underlying vehicle body structural members to provide support for the reservoir body 1.

[0037] Based on the overall design concept described above, multiple mounting feet 2 integrally formed on the body 1 of the washing kettle can securely fix the body 1 to the beams, sheet metal structures, and other body components in the front engine compartment. At the same time, the support seat 121 can press down against the front wheel arch sheet metal 6 and other body structural components, thereby providing strong support for the body 1 through the body structural components. Most of the weight of the body 1 is borne by the body structural components, which can greatly reduce the burden on each mounting foot 2, thereby reducing the risk of structural fatigue and breakage caused by vibration to the mounting feet 2, and improving the stability and durability of the washing kettle installation structure.

[0038] It should be noted that, based on the above overall design concept, the technical solution of this application can adopt a variety of different specific implementation structures, forms, or configuration sequences. For example, the above-mentioned installation structure can be a bracket structure integrally formed on the kettle body 1, or it can be the form of the installation feet 2 described below. The wiring structure can be a wire harness clip integrally formed on the kettle body 1, or a clip seat that can fix the wire harness, etc. For the parts required for the implementation of the overall solution but not covered in the above overall settings, reasonable and flexible designs can be made by referring to mature setting methods in the field and the actual situation during implementation, etc., and will not be elaborated here. The specific implementation schemes described below in this embodiment are only one of the many solutions that can be formed by the above various combinations and variations. In actual implementation, those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments and improvements based on the actual situation. Obviously, the many solutions that can be formed by the above-mentioned combinations and variations, as well as the specific implementation schemes of this embodiment, are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] Furthermore, the aforementioned body structural component supported under the support base 121 can be the front wheel arch sheet metal 6, or other body components such as beams or sheet metal structures. For ease of understanding and explanation, the following description will focus on the case where the body structural component is the front wheel arch sheet metal 6.

[0040] The following will elaborate on the scheme of this application.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred exemplary embodiment among various feasible solutions, the mounting structure of this embodiment includes multiple mounting legs 2 extending from the outer wall of the kettle body 1 towards its periphery, and the ends of the mounting legs 2 are provided with mounting holes 200. The mounting structure adopts the form of mounting legs 2 integrally formed on the kettle body 1, ensuring the firm connection of the mounting legs 2 to the kettle body 1. The relatively thick shape of the base of the mounting legs 2 also ensures the structural reliability and durability of the mounting legs 2. Using the mounting holes 200 provided at the ends of the mounting legs 2, bolts can be used to securely connect the mounting legs 2 to the surrounding structural components, thereby achieving a secure assembly of the washing kettle in the front compartment.

[0042] Regarding the aforementioned configuration, in specific implementation and application, mature methods in the field or the mounting leg design of mature products can be utilized, and adjustments can be made based on the spatial layout of the front engine compartment for rationality and adaptability. In this embodiment, the mounting leg 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib structure. Specifically, the mounting leg 2 is provided with multiple first reinforcing ribs 201, which are spaced apart on the mounting leg 2, extend towards the kettle body 1, and connect to the outer wall of the kettle body 1. A hollow structure is also formed between the first reinforcing ribs 201, thus ensuring the overall structural strength of the mounting leg 2 while reducing its own weight. Compared to the traditional mounting bracket, using multiple mounting legs 2 to install the kettle body 1 in the front engine compartment reduces the risk of the washing kettle falling off due to structural breakage.

[0043] There are, of course, various options to choose from regarding the specific number and location of the mounting feet 2. In this embodiment, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible options, the top of the pot body 1 is provided with a liquid injection pipe 10, and the mounting feet 2 include a first mounting foot 21 provided on the liquid injection pipe 10, a second mounting foot 22 provided on the side of the pot body 1, and a third mounting foot 23 provided at the bottom of the pot body 1. Among them, the first mounting foot 21 and the second mounting foot 22 are connected to the vehicle body through brackets, and the third mounting foot 23 is directly connected to the vehicle body structural component located below the pot body 1 (preferably connected to the front wheel arch sheet metal 6). By installing a liquid injection pipe 10 at the top of the container 1, glass cleaner can be added to the container 1 through the inlet at the top of the liquid injection pipe 10. Based on the installation of the liquid injection pipe 10, a first mounting foot 21 is installed on the liquid injection pipe 10 to fix the top of the container 1 to the relevant structural components of the vehicle body. A second mounting foot 22 is installed on the side of the container 1, and a third mounting foot 23 is installed at the bottom, which respectively ensures the reliable connection of the middle and bottom positions of the container 1 to the vehicle body. The coordinated installation of the three mounting feet 2 ensures the overall installation reliability of the container 1 in the front engine compartment.

[0044] Of course, a cap 100 will be installed at the top inlet of the filler tube 10. After the windshield washer fluid is filled, the cap 100 will be used to cover the top inlet of the filler tube 10 to prevent the windshield washer fluid in the reservoir 1 from spilling out. When the wiper washer reservoir is installed in the front engine compartment, the first mounting bracket 21 can be connected to the sheet metal part on the top of the front engine compartment via a bracket. The second mounting bracket 22 can extend from the middle of the reservoir 1 to the outer rear of the vehicle and connect to the bottom structure of the ventilation cover. The third mounting bracket 23 can extend downward from the bottom inner side of the reservoir 1 and be fixed to the mounting hole 601 opened on the inner side plate of the front wheel arch sheet metal 6.

[0045] Furthermore, the mounting structure of this embodiment also includes a support base 121 that protrudes downward from the bottom of the kettle body 1; the bottom of the support base 121 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1210, and the positioning protrusion 1210 is matched with the positioning hole 600 on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6. By providing a downwardly protruding support base 121 at the bottom of the kettle body 1, the support base 121 can press down against the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, thereby providing strong support for the kettle body 1 by the front wheel cover sheet metal 6. Most of the weight of the kettle body 1 is borne by the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, which can greatly reduce the burden on the aforementioned mounting feet 2; at the same time, the positioning protrusion 1210 at the bottom of the support base 121 can be positioned and engaged with the corresponding positioning hole 600 on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, ensuring the position of the kettle body 1 on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, effectively preventing the kettle body 1 from sliding or shifting on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, ensuring the stability of the kettle body 1 on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, and ultimately making the entire mounting structure of the washing kettle have good durability.

[0046] There are, of course, a variety of technical solutions to choose from regarding the specific location of the support base 121; for example, the support base 121 can be located in the middle of the bottom of the kettle body 1, or it can be located closer to one side.

[0047] However, to achieve better technical results, the following configuration is preferred. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support base 121 is positioned slightly outward from the center, so that it can be firmly pressed against a relatively stable part of the central structure of the front wheel arch sheet metal 6. When the support base 121 is located directly below the wiring groove 14, a support reinforcement plate 1211 can be provided at the connection between the bottom of the support base 121 and the wiring groove 14. This support reinforcement plate 1211 can be horizontally arranged in multiple layers, and vertical plates can be provided between each horizontal plate, thereby improving the connection stability between the support base 121 and the bottom plate of the kettle body 1.

[0048] Continue as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, the bottom side wall of the container 1 is provided with a liquid outlet 122; at the same time, the wiper washer container of this application also includes a liquid outlet pump mounting bracket 13 integrally formed on the container 1, and a liquid outlet pump 4 disposed on the liquid outlet pump mounting bracket 13. In the above configuration, the liquid outlet pump mounting bracket 13 is disposed corresponding to the liquid outlet 122, and the liquid outlet pump 4 communicates with the interior of the container 1 through the liquid outlet 122.

[0049] For the liquid outlet 122 provided on the side wall of the kettle body 1, a liquid outlet pump fixing bracket 13 is provided near it, which can effectively fix the liquid outlet pump 4 of the washing kettle to the liquid outlet pump fixing bracket 13. The liquid outlet pump fixing bracket 13 is integrally formed on the kettle body 1, which not only facilitates the manufacturing efficiency of the washing kettle through injection molding process, but also ensures the structural firmness of the liquid outlet pump fixing bracket 13 on the kettle body 1, thus providing a stable installation foundation for the liquid outlet pump 4.

[0050] Based on the above configuration, preferably, the pump mounting bracket 13 of this embodiment includes a support plate 130 supporting the bottom of the pump 4, and side plates 131 disposed on both sides of the pump 4. Simultaneously, each side plate 131 is provided with a retaining plate 132. When the pump 4 is installed on the pump mounting bracket 13, the pump 4 is secured between the two retaining plates 132. The pump mounting bracket 13 adopts the arrangement of the support plate 130 and the side plates 131. The support plate 130 provides good support for the pump 4 from the bottom, while the side plates 131 provide good protection for the pump 4 from the sides. Furthermore, by using the side plates 131 and the retaining plates 132 on them, the pump 4 can be securely held between the two side plates 131 using the latch structure formed between the two retaining plates 132, thereby achieving rapid assembly of the pump 4 on the pump mounting bracket 13.

[0051] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, a hole can be provided in the middle of the support plate 130 to confine the bottom protrusion of the liquid pump 4 within the hole, preventing the liquid pump 4 from slipping off the support plate 130, thereby further improving the installation reliability of the liquid pump 4 by the liquid pump mounting bracket 13.

[0052] Continue as Figure 3 and combined Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, the wiper washer reservoir 1 is also integrally formed with a wiring structure. This wiring structure is used to provide arrangement space for the wiring harnesses of surrounding components, or to fix the wiring harnesses to the reservoir 1. By providing a wiring structure on the reservoir 1, the wiring harnesses of surrounding components can be fixed to the reservoir 1, or the arrangement space or arrangement channel provided by the wiring structure can be used to achieve smooth wiring of the wiring harnesses, which is beneficial to improving the compatibility of the washer reservoir with surrounding components in terms of installation and arrangement.

[0053] Specifically, the wiring structure of this embodiment includes a snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 disposed on the side wall of the kettle body 1, and the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 can receive the wire harness clip 3 to fix the wire harness clip 3 to the kettle body 1. By providing the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 on the side wall of the kettle body 1, the wire harness clip 3 can be used to fix the wire harness of the surrounding components to the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111, providing good conditions for the arrangement of the relevant wire harness.

[0054] For the specific type of wiring harness provided on the clip fixing plate 111, there are of course a variety of different wiring harness arrangement schemes to choose from; for example, wiring harnesses for fixing the engine, battery, etc. can be arranged on the clip fixing plate 111, or the discharge pump wiring harness 400 of the discharge pump 4 can be fixed to the clip fixing plate 111 nearby through the wiring harness clip 3.

[0055] In the specific implementation and application process, the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 of this embodiment is arranged close to the liquid discharge pump harness 400 led out by the liquid discharge pump 4. In this embodiment, two snap-fit ​​fixing plates 111 are arranged vertically at intervals on the side wall of the vessel body 1 above the liquid discharge pump fixing bracket 13. The liquid discharge pump harness 400 is fixed to the two snap-fit ​​fixing plates 111 by two harness clips 3, thereby realizing convenient and reliable arrangement and fixation of the liquid discharge pump harness 400. In order to improve the connection between the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 and the vessel body 1, a second reinforcing rib 112 can also be provided on the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111. Preferably, the second reinforcing rib 112 is arranged perpendicularly to both the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 and the side wall of the vessel body 1, and is connected to both the snap-fit ​​fixing plate 111 and the side wall of the vessel body 1 to form a stable mutually supporting structure.

[0056] In addition, such as Figure 4 and combined Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the wiring structure of this embodiment also includes a wiring groove 14 formed on the side wall of the pot body 1, and two limiting ribs 141 are arranged opposite to each other on the inner walls of both sides of the wiring groove 14; the wire harness can be laid into the wiring groove 14 through the opening formed between the two limiting ribs 141, and is held in the wiring groove 14 by the two limiting ribs 141.

[0057] A recessed wiring groove 14 is formed on the kettle body 1, which makes full use of the small and irregular space in the front engine compartment. While ensuring the capacity of the kettle body 1, it provides good space for the wiring harness arrangement of surrounding components. Moreover, the relatively enclosed space of the wiring groove 14 provides good protection for the wiring harness. Furthermore, the limiting ribs 141 provided on the inner wall of the wiring groove 14 can effectively hold and fix the wiring harness in the wiring groove 14, achieving good integration and adaptation between the washing kettle and surrounding components.

[0058] There are, of course, various options for the specific wiring harness arranged within the wiring trough 14; for example, the engine power line or the air conditioning compressor wiring harness can be arranged there. However, if the vehicle is equipped with a winch 5, the winch wiring harness 500 leading from the winch 5 can be arranged within the wiring trough 14.

[0059] There are, of course, various different solutions for the specific structure of the pot body 1. It can be a single-piece structure, a left-right split structure, or an upper-lower split structure as shown in the attached figures of this embodiment.

[0060] Specifically, as a preferred exemplary embodiment among various feasible solutions, the kettle body 1 of this embodiment includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 that are fastened together, and both the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 have outwardly protruding flanges at their fastening portions. Based on the above configuration, since the inner wall of the wiring groove 14 also has the aforementioned flanges, it is preferable to place the limiting rib 141 close to the flanges. In this way, the wire harness laid in the wiring groove 14 can be held between the limiting rib 141 and the flange located on the inner wall of the wiring groove 14. The kettle body 1 adopts a split structure, which facilitates mold forming and also helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the kettle body 1. The two shells are processed and formed separately, and then fastened together by the first fastening flange 110 respectively provided on the upper shell 11 and the second fastening flange 120 provided on the lower shell 12, thus forming the closed space required by the kettle body 1 for containing molten glass.

[0061] When assembling the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12, bolts can be used for connection and a sealing gasket can be added between the first snap-fit ​​flange 110 and the second snap-fit ​​flange 120. Alternatively, plastic welding can be used to weld the two snap-fit ​​flanges 110 and 120 together. Due to the aforementioned wiring groove 14, a protruding structure composed of the first snap-fit ​​flange 110 and the second snap-fit ​​flange 120 will inevitably be formed on the inner wall of the wiring groove 14. By placing the limiting rib 141 near the flange, a locking position 140 is formed between the flange and the limiting rib 141, which can easily hold the wire harness. In this way, the wire harness arranged in the wiring groove 14 can be well held by the two limiting ribs 141 and the protruding flange, thereby improving the stability of the wiring arrangement in the wiring groove 14.

[0062] In summary, the wiper washer reservoir of this embodiment, through multiple mounting feet 2 integrally formed on the reservoir body 1, can reliably fix the reservoir body 1 to the beams, sheet metal structures, and other body components in the front engine compartment; at the same time, the support base 121 can press down against the front wheel arch sheet metal 6 and other body structural components, thereby providing strong support for the reservoir body 1 by the body structural components, and most of the weight of the reservoir body 1 is borne by the body structural components. This can greatly reduce the burden on each mounting foot 2, thereby reducing the risk of structural fatigue and breakage caused by vibration to the mounting feet 2, which is beneficial to improving the stability and durability of the washer reservoir mounting structure.

[0063] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle equipped with the windshield washer fluid reservoir provided in Embodiment 1.

[0064] The wiper washer reservoir of this application is installed in the front engine compartment of the vehicle, which effectively solves the problem that the mounting bracket of the traditional washer reservoir is prone to breakage. At the same time, it achieves perfect integration with the surrounding components and provides good conditions for the wiring harness layout and fixation of the surrounding components. It is beneficial to save the layout space in the front engine compartment and reduce the difficulty of installing and arranging the components.

[0065] Meanwhile, since a support base 121 is added to the bottom of the washing pot body 1, and the bottom of the support base 121 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1210, it can be positioned and cooperate with the positioning hole 600 on the front wheel cover sheet metal 6, so as to share the weight of the washing pot and prevent the various mounting feet 2 on the washing pot body 1 from cracking due to bumps, vibrations and other working conditions when the liquid is full.

[0066] Furthermore, by constructing a recessed wiring groove 14 on the vessel body 1, the problem of arranging the winch wiring harness 500 in vehicles equipped with a winch 5 is effectively solved. Two limiting ribs 141 on the inner wall of the wiring groove 14 can securely hold the winch wiring harness 500 within it. The clip fixing plate 111 on the side wall of the vessel body 1 can also flexibly fix the wiring harnesses of surrounding components to the vessel body 1 via wiring harness clips 3. These various types of wiring structures serve to secure the winch wiring harness 500, the liquid pump wiring harness 400, and other wiring harnesses within the engine compartment, integrating them with surrounding components and effectively standardizing the wiring harness arrangement direction. This reduces the difficulty of arranging wiring harnesses in the front engine compartment of the vehicle and saves space within the front engine compartment.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application. Detailed explanations of configurations, examples of specific structural arrangements, and descriptions of assembly and connection methods are provided to ensure sufficient disclosure so that those skilled in the art can better implement this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
