Description
AGENCEMENT D'UN RESERVOIR DANS UN VEHICULEARRANGEMENT OF A TANK IN A VEHICLE
L'invention concerne un agencement d'un réservoir dans un véhicule, et plus particulièrement un réservoir de carburant se prolongeant dans une zone supportant des accessoires, tels que des contrepoids. The invention relates to an arrangement of a tank in a vehicle, and more particularly a fuel tank extending in an area supporting accessories, such as counterweights.
En règle générale les véhicules agricoles, et en particulier les tracteurs, comportent un réservoir à carburant qui est localisé dans la partie avant du véhicule tel que représenté dans la publication US-A-2. 871.967. In general, agricultural vehicles, and in particular tractors, have a fuel tank which is located in the front part of the vehicle as shown in the publication US-A-2. 871,967.
Les tracteurs comportent également, à l'extrémité avant du véhicule, des contrepoids destinés à conserver une bonne adhérence des roues avant du véhicule 10 pendant le travail. Un exemple de montage de contrepoids est représenté dans la publication US-A-3.490.787. The tractors also include, at the front end of the vehicle, counterweights intended to maintain good adhesion of the front wheels of the vehicle 10 during work. An example of mounting a counterweight is shown in publication US-A-3,490,787.
Les contrepoids étant disposés à la limite avant du véhicule, la capacité du réservoir est donc définie par l'espace se trouvant entre le groupe motopropulseur et lesdits contrepoids. Un volume de réservoir de carburant trop faible, à des 15 conséquences négatives sur le rythme de travail. Il est évident qu'un réservoir de gros volume limite le nombre d'arrêts destinés au remplissage du réservoir et par conséquent améliore le rendement. The counterweights being arranged at the front limit of the vehicle, the capacity of the tank is therefore defined by the space located between the powertrain and said counterweights. Too low a fuel tank volume, with negative consequences on the working rhythm. It is obvious that a large volume tank limits the number of stops intended for filling the tank and therefore improves the yield.
L'augmentation du volume du réservoir de carburant, est limitée par l'espace dédié au réservoir. L'augmentation de ce volume ne doit pas faire varier l'encombrement 20 général du véhicule de façon préjudiciable à une utilisation adaptée. The increase in the volume of the fuel tank is limited by the space dedicated to the tank. The increase in this volume must not cause the overall dimensions of the vehicle to vary in a manner detrimental to suitable use.
Afin de pallier ces problèmes, l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'un réservoir dans un véhicule qui permet l'augmentation du volume du réservoir, par exemple à carburant, sans pour autant augmenter les dimensions générales dudit véhicule. In order to overcome these problems, the invention relates to an arrangement of a tank in a vehicle which allows the volume of the tank, for example for fuel, to be increased, without however increasing the general dimensions of said vehicle.
L'invention a également pour objet, des contrepoids ayant une forme permettant le prolongement du réservoir. The invention also relates to counterweights having a shape allowing the extension of the tank.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le réservoir est constitué d'au moins une réserve principale et d'une réserve secondaire qui se prolonge dans l'ensemble formant contrepoids. According to a characteristic of the invention, the reservoir consists of at least one main reserve and a secondary reserve which extends into the assembly forming a counterweight.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, au moins une partie des contrepoids, 5 formant l'ensemble contrepoids, comporte une zone ouverte permettant d'y loger au moins une partie de la réserve secondaire. According to another characteristic of the invention, at least a portion of the counterweights, 5 forming the counterweight assembly, comprises an open area making it possible to accommodate therein at least a portion of the secondary reserve.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les contrepoids sont empilés selon une direction verticale. According to another characteristic of the invention, the counterweights are stacked in a vertical direction.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, au moins un contrepoids forme un 10 couvercle de fermeture de la zone ouverte de réception de la partie de la réserve secondaire. According to another characteristic of the invention, at least one counterweight forms a cover for closing the open area for receiving the part of the secondary reserve.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, au moins une paroi du réservoir forme un élément de la carrosserie extérieure du véhicule. According to another characteristic of the invention, at least one wall of the tank forms an element of the exterior bodywork of the vehicle.
Agencement d'un réservoir selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, 15 caractérisé en ce que la réserve principale 6 et la réserve secondaire 7 forment un réservoir 4 en une seule pièce. Arrangement of a reservoir according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the main reserve 6 and the secondary reserve 7 form a reservoir 4 in one piece.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description d'exemples de réalisation d'un agencement d'un réservoir pour véhicule 20 au dessin annexé dans lequel: - La figure 1 représente une vue perspective de la partie avant d'un tracteur comportant un réservoir et des contrepoids selon l'invention. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description of exemplary embodiments of an arrangement of a tank for a vehicle 20 in the attached drawing in which: - Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the part front of a tractor comprising a tank and counterweights according to the invention.
Afin d'illustrer l'invention la description qui suit concernera un exemple de réalisation appliquée à un tracteur agricole. In order to illustrate the invention, the following description will relate to an exemplary embodiment applied to an agricultural tractor.
Tel que représenté à la figure 1 le tracteur comporte au moins, dans sa partie avant 1 un groupe motopropulseur 2 (schématisé), un train avant directionnel 3, un réservoir à carburant 4 et un ensemble 5 formant contrepoids (non positionnés sur la figure afin de représenter le réservoir 4 dans son ensemble) disposés à l'extrémité avant du véhicule et distinct du réservoir 4. L'ensemble 5 formant contrepoids est constitué dans notre exemple de réalisation de plusieurs contrepoids 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the tractor comprises at least, in its front part 1 a powertrain 2 (diagrammatically), a directional front axle 3, a fuel tank 4 and an assembly 5 forming a counterweight (not positioned in the figure so represent the reservoir 4 as a whole) arranged at the front end of the vehicle and distinct from the reservoir 4. The assembly 5 forming a counterweight consists in our embodiment of several counterweights 10.
Le réservoir 4 est formé d'une réserve principale 6 et d'une réserve secondaire 7. La réserve principale 6 est localisée longitudinalement entre le groupe motopropulseur 2 et l'ensemble 5 formant contrepoids. Selon une direction verticale la réserve principale 6 est localisée, par exemple, au-dessus de la limite supérieure des 10 contrepoids 10. La réserve secondaire 7 est localisée en dessous de la réserve principale 6 et se prolonge longitudinalement vers l'avant, par une partie 8 qui forme une excroissance, dans la zone destiné aux contrepoids. The tank 4 is formed of a main reserve 6 and a secondary reserve 7. The main reserve 6 is located longitudinally between the powertrain 2 and the assembly 5 forming a counterweight. In a vertical direction the main reserve 6 is located, for example, above the upper limit of the 10 counterweights 10. The secondary reserve 7 is located below the main reserve 6 and extends longitudinally forward, by a part 8 which forms a protrusion, in the zone intended for counterweights.
Afin de permettre l'avancée de la partie 8 de la réserve secondaire 7 dans les contrepoids 10 tout en laissant suffisamment de place auxdits contrepoids 10, la 15 réserve secondaire 7 peut-être d'une largeur moindre que celle de la réserve principale 6. In order to allow the advance of part 8 of the secondary reserve 7 in the counterweights 10 while leaving sufficient space for said counterweights 10, the secondary reserve 7 may be of a narrower width than that of the main reserve 6.
Afin de permettre l'avancée de la partie 8 de la réserve secondaire 7 dans la zone des contrepoids 10, ces derniers ont une forme enveloppante. Dans notre exemple de réalisation, au moins un certain nombre des contrepoids 10, de forme 20 sensiblement trapézodale, comporte un évidement 11 débouchant, formé dans leur partie centrale. Les contrepoids 10 sont empilés selon une direction verticale, laissant ainsi une zone ouverte permettant d'y loger au moins une partie de la réserve secondaire 7. Les contrepoids 10 peuvent être portés par un support (non représenté) fixé sur un élément de la structure du véhicule. Les contrepoids 10 sont 25 amovible afin de régler la masse de l'ensemble 5 par retrait ou ajout de contrepoids. In order to allow the advance of part 8 of the secondary reserve 7 in the area of the counterweights 10, the latter have an enveloping shape. In our exemplary embodiment, at least a certain number of the counterweights 10, of substantially trapezoidal shape, comprises a through recess 11, formed in their central part. The counterweights 10 are stacked in a vertical direction, thus leaving an open area making it possible to accommodate at least part of the secondary reserve 7. The counterweights 10 can be carried by a support (not shown) fixed on an element of the structure of the vehicle. The counterweights 10 are removable in order to adjust the mass of the assembly 5 by removing or adding counterweights.
Un contrepoids (non représenté) ne comportant aucun évidement peut-être placé au-dessus des autres afin de former un couvercle et une protection supérieure de la partie 8 réserve secondaire 7. Ce contrepoids peut s'adapter avec la réserve 30 principale 6 afin d'effectuer une bonne finition extérieure et d'éviter ainsi tout écart important pouvant être disgracieux ou pouvant donner lieu à des zones. propices à l'amoncellement de terre, par exemple. A counterweight (not shown) having no recess may be placed on top of the others in order to form a cover and upper protection of the part 8 secondary reserve 7. This counterweight can be adapted with the main reserve 6 in order to '' perform a good exterior finish and thus avoid any significant gap which may be unsightly or which may give rise to areas. suitable for the accumulation of soil, for example.
Le dessous de la réserve secondaire 7 est protégé par un sabot (non représenté) qui peut-être également un contrepoids qui se prolonge sous ladite réserve secondaire 7. The underside of the secondary reserve 7 is protected by a shoe (not shown) which may also be a counterweight which extends under said secondary reserve 7.
Une telle disposition des contrepoids 10 permet de protéger correctement la réserve secondaire en cas de choc avant. Such an arrangement of the counterweights 10 makes it possible to correctly protect the secondary reserve in the event of a front impact.
Afin de limiter les risques de fuite, la réserve principale 6 et la réserve secondaire 7, peuvent former un réservoir 4 en une seule pièce. In order to limit the risk of leakage, the main reserve 6 and the secondary reserve 7 can form a reservoir 4 in one piece.
Une paroi avant 12 (et éventuellement d'autres parois) de la réserve principale 6 peut former un élément de carrosserie du véhicule. L'absence d'une pièce d'habillage complémentaire permet alors l'augmentation sensible du volume de la réserve principale 6. A front wall 12 (and possibly other walls) of the main reserve 6 can form a vehicle body element. The absence of an additional covering piece then allows a significant increase in the volume of the main reserve 6.
