Mounting structure for compressed gas storage tank of vehicle
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a mounting structure for a compressed gas storage tank of a vehicle in which at least two high pressure storage tanks are modularized and mounted in a vehicle. For this, the present invention provides a mounting structure for a compressed gas storage tank of a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of storage tanks for storing a compressed gas therein, including a hemispherical dome portion formed on both ends thereof; panel brackets connected to both ends of the storage tanks; pipe frames connecting edges of the panel brackets connected to both sides of the storage tanks; and high pressure parts and pipes connected to the storage tanks in a state where the panel brackets and the pipe frames are connected.
1. A mounting structure for a compressed gas storage tank of a vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of storage tanks for storing a compressed gas therein, each of which includes a hemispherical dome portion formed on both ends thereof;
a plurality of panel brackets connected to both ends of the storage tanks;
a plurality of pipe frames connecting edges of the panel brackets; and
high pressure parts and pipes connected to the storage tanks at at least one end thereof,
wherein a gasket is attached to the outside of each of the panel brackets at both sides of the storage tanks and connected by the pipe frames to maintain the connection strength of the panel brackets.
2. The mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein receiving portions having a shape corresponding to that of the dome portion of the storage tank are formed on the panel bracket so as to be closely adhered to both ends of the storage tanks.
3. The mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein the panel bracket and the gasket are connected to the pipe frame having a screw portion by a nut and a washer.
4. The mounting structure of claim 3 , wherein a spring is provided between the gasket and the washer to absorb expansion in the longitudinal direction of the storage tank when filling gas.
5. The mounting structure of claim 4 , wherein, the pipe frames extend in the longitudinal direction, a first protective panel is provided to cover the ends of the pipe frames, and a second protective panel is provided to cover three sides of a space between the panel bracket and the first protective panel along the circumference of the first protective panel and the panel bracket.
6. The mounting structure of claim 2 , wherein a gasket is attached to the outside of each of the panel brackets at both sides of the storage tanks and connected by the pipe frames to maintain the connection strength of the panel brackets.
7. The mounting structure of claim 6 , wherein the panel bracket and the gasket are connected to the pipe frame having a screw portion by a nut and a washer.
8. The mounting structure of claim 7 , wherein a spring is provided between the gasket and the washer to absorb expansion in the longitudinal direction of the storage tank when filling gas.
9. The mounting structure of claim 8 , wherein, the pipe frames extend in the longitudinal direction, a first protective panel is provided to cover the ends of the pipe frames, and a second protective panel is provided to cover three sides of a space between the panel bracket and the first protective panel along the circumference of the first protective panel and the panel bracket.
