Description
-1 DEFINITION INTEGRATION OF FUEL PRE-FILTER BRACKET INTO CARRIER BARS OF TRUCKS AND ELASTOMER FINISHING OF THE BARS Technical Area The present invention relates to a truck front fuel filter bracket carrier bar. The invention specifically relates to a monolithic carrier bar integrated with a truck fuel pre-filter bracket and elastomer-bearing to the chassis, and to the integration of the fuel pre-filter bracket into the carrier bar in trucks and the elastomer bearing of the bar. State of the Art In current applications, a carrier bar is used for the truck's pre-fuel filter bracket. The currently used carrier bar is two-part and rigidly attached to the chassis along with the existing pre-fuel filter bracket. Consequently, vibrations and frequencies from the chassis are transmitted to the carrier bar and the pre-filter bracket, potentially causing damage to these parts. Especially in long-distance truck driving, drivers may experience problems such as vehicle breakdowns due to this type of wear and tear, leading to breakdowns, the need for servicing, and losses in time and money. Application number DE102014006439A1 describes a fuel dispensing device for a motor vehicle and a fuel filter for that device. This application describes a specific technical solution for the fuel filter. It does not include a technical framework for preventing damage from vibration. Application number DE102019109388A1 describes a recirculation module and a fuel pre-filter unit. A recirculation module for a fuel pre-filter unit of an internal combustion engine is a module that switches the recirculation module from cold start to normal operating condition and back again based on the fuel filter raw side supply temperature. The -2 transmission has a temperature-controlled operating element. However, this application lacks a technical structure to prevent vibration-induced damage. In conclusion, new technical developments are needed to prevent potential damage caused by vibrations transmitted to the parts of the truck's front fuel filter bracket carrier bar. Explanation of the Purposes of the Invention Based on the current state of the art, the aim of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing structures by integrating a fuel pre-filter bracket into the carrier busbar of trucks and developing an elastomer bearing for the busbar. Another objective of the invention is to prevent damage to the carrier bar and the parts mounted on it by damping harmful vibrations and frequencies that may come from the chassis, together with the elastomer bearing of the carrier bar. Another aim of the invention is to absorb harmful vibrations and frequencies that may occur due to the integration of the fuel pre-filter bracket into the carrier bar in trucks and the elastomer bearing of the bar. Another aim of the invention is to provide a solution to the problem of parts being damaged by vibrations that may occur during long-distance truck operation. Another objective of the invention is to prevent vibration-induced damage by using elastomer bearings on the support bar. To achieve these objectives, the integration of a fuel pre-filter bracket into the carrier bar and the elastomer bearing of the bar in trucks, which provides significant technical advantages, have been developed. -3 Explaining the Figures Figure 1 shows a general overview of a representative application of the invention. Reference Numbers 1 Carrier bar 5 Housing 2 Fuel pre-filter bracket 6 Fuel pre-filter 3 Bracket 4 Elastomer element Detailed Description of the Invention The subject of the invention is the development of a monolithic carrier bar (1) integrated with the truck fuel pre-filter bracket (2) and mounted on the chassis via an elastomer element (4) and bracket (3). A bracket (3) has been created for the carrier bar (1) and the elastomer element (4). Thanks to this bracket (3), the connection between the chassis and the carrier bar (1) is made via the elastomer element (4) and the carrier bar (1). By mounting the carrier bar (1) onto the elastomer element (4) bracket (3), the harmful vibrations and frequencies that may come from the chassis are damped, thus preventing damage to this part and the parts mounted on it. The carrier bar (1) is supported by an elastomer element (4) in place of the rigid connection. The single-sided elastomer element (4) is supported in the housing (5) at the end of the carrier bar (1), thus damping the vibrations from the chassis and protecting the carrier bar (1) and its components, especially the fuel pre-filter (6) and the fuel pre-filter bracket (2). In this way, the connection between the natural frequency of the chassis and the carrier bar (1) is interrupted. The invention relates to the truck front fuel filter bracket (2) carrier bar (1), the feature of which is that the possible vibrations and frequencies are transmitted through the chassis instead of a rigid connection on the carrier bar (1). - It is characterized by having a monolithic carrier bar (1) integrated with the fuel pre-filter bracket (2) and mounted on the chassis with at least one elastomer element (4) to ensure that the transmission to the 4 parts is interrupted. The carrier bar (1) contains the front fuel filter bracket (2), the fuel pre-filter (6) on the front fuel filter bracket (2), the bracket (3) connection between the carrier bar (1) and the chassis, and at least one elastomer element (4) on the bracket (3) connection. The carrier bar (1) contains at least one slot (5), at least one elastomer element (4) in the slot (5), and at least one bracket (3) between the carrier bar (1) and the chassis. It includes an elastomer element (4) and elastomer bearing between the carrier bar (1) and the chassis, which prevents damage to the carrier bar (1) and the parts mounted on the carrier bar (1) by damping harmful vibrations and frequencies that may come from the chassis. To dampen vibrations from the chassis, the carrier bar (1) and the parts on it, especially the fuel pre-filter (6) and the fuel pre-filter bracket (2) are protected by an elastomer element (4) mounted in the housing (5) at the end of the carrier bar (1). The carrier bar (1) in trucks contains at least one elastomer element (4) between the chassis and the carrier bar (1) which enables the connection of the natural frequency of the chassis with the carrier bar (1) to be interrupted in this way for the integration of the fuel pre-filter bracket (2) and the elastomer bearing of the carrier bar (1).
