特許文献1によると、図5に示すように、尿素水タンク1のタンク本体2の上部に蓋部材3が取付ビス(図示省略)等で固着されている。蓋部材3には以下のような各配管類が装着されている。
タンク本体2内に貯溜されている尿素水が凍結した場合の融解のために、又は、−11℃以下になったら凍結しないようにするために、エンジンの冷却水(熱湯)の一部をタンク本体2内に循環させる加温用配管である加温パイプ4、(4a、4b、4c、4d,4e,4f、4g)が設けられており、加温パイプ4a、加温パイプ4b、加温パイプ4c、加温パイプ4d,加温パイプ4e,加温パイプ4f、加温パイプ4gの順に流れるようになっている。
が設けられている。
尿素水の貯溜量を検知するレベルセンサ用配管であるレベルセンサ5、尿素水の品質(濃度)をチェックする識別センサ用配管である識別センサ6、タンク本体2内の尿素水を噴射ノズル(図示省略)に送出する送出用配管である尿素水送出パイプ9、タンク内のエアーを給排気するエアー抜き用配管であるエアーパイプ10が装着されている。
また、タンク本体2の底部位置には尿素水の加温を促進する放熱部材である放熱箱7が配設されており、これら加温パイプ4、レベルセンサ5、識別センサ6、放熱箱7、尿素水送出パイプ9、エアーパイプ10で配管ユニット11を構成している。
According to Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid member 3 is fixed to the upper portion of the tank body 2 of the urea water tank 1 with a mounting screw (not shown). The following piping is attached to the lid member 3.
In order to melt when urea water stored in the tank body 2 freezes, or to prevent freezing when it falls below -11 ° C., a part of engine cooling water (hot water) is tanked. A heating pipe 4 (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g), which is a heating pipe circulated in the main body 2, is provided, and the heating pipe 4a, the heating pipe 4b, and the heating are provided. The pipe 4c, the warming pipe 4d, the warming pipe 4e, the warming pipe 4f, and the warming pipe 4g flow in this order.
Is provided.
Level sensor 5 which is a pipe for level sensor for detecting the amount of stored urea water, identification sensor 6 which is a pipe for identification sensor for checking the quality (concentration) of urea water, and an injection nozzle for urea water in tank body 2 (illustrated) A urea water delivery pipe 9 which is a delivery pipe for delivery to (not shown) and an air pipe 10 which is an air vent pipe for supplying and exhausting air in the tank are mounted.
Further, a heat radiating box 7 which is a heat radiating member for promoting the heating of the urea water is disposed at the bottom portion of the tank body 2, and these heating pipe 4, level sensor 5, identification sensor 6, heat radiating box 7, The urea water delivery pipe 9 and the air pipe 10 constitute a piping unit 11.

また、尿素水タンク1は車両への搭載において、タンク配置のスペース、尿素水の補給便利性等から、車両前後方向へ燃料タンクに並べて搭載する場合が多く、図5に外観を示すように、車両前後方向の幅が小さく、車幅方向に長い形状となっている。
従って、蓋部材3に取付けられた各配管類は車幅方向に配列されている。
ところが、加温パイプ4、レベルセンサ5、識別センサ6等に、片持ち支持された放熱箱の固有振動モードと車両の走行振動により尿素水タンク1が揺動され、蓋部材3から加振力が伝わり、共振する時に各配管の蓋部材3への取付部近傍に高い応力が発生する。
特に、加温パイプ4b、から加温パイプ4cにU字状に曲げた連続部と蓋部材3との結合を行う支持ブラケット8の蓋部材3側の取付部近傍Y部(図6)には高い応力が発生する。
レベルセンサ5は、ステンレス製の中空管で内部に金属棒である電極(中心電極)を要し,その外管(外電極)の間では、高さに比例した静電容量が発生する。この原理を利用して尿素水タンク内で、尿素水に浸っている部分と浸っていない部分の静電容量の変化を計測し、各レベルでのスイッチのオン・オフの組み合わせで、運転席の表示灯(LED)を点灯させ残存液量を表示する構成になっている。
更に、識別センサ6においても、ステンレス製の中空管で先端部に尿素水の濃度を検出するセンサが中空管の内部に装着されている。
そのため、配管ユニット11全体の剛性は、レベルセンサ5及び、識別センサ6夫々の太い外径によって維持される構成になっている。
その結果、配管組立部材11全体の重量が重くなり、且つレベルセンサ5及び、識別センサ6はステンレス材を使用しているためコストが高くなるという問題があった。
In addition, the urea water tank 1 is often mounted side by side on the fuel tank in the vehicle front-rear direction due to the space of the tank arrangement, the convenience of supplying urea water, etc., as shown in FIG. The vehicle has a small width in the front-rear direction and a long shape in the vehicle width direction.
Therefore, each piping attached to the lid member 3 is arranged in the vehicle width direction.
However, the urea water tank 1 is swung by the natural vibration mode of the radiator box that is cantilevered by the heating pipe 4, the level sensor 5, the identification sensor 6, and the like, and the running vibration of the vehicle. When a resonance occurs, high stress is generated in the vicinity of the attachment portion of each pipe to the lid member 3.
In particular, the Y portion (FIG. 6) in the vicinity of the attachment portion on the lid member 3 side of the support bracket 8 that joins the lid member 3 with the continuous portion bent in a U shape from the heating pipe 4b to the heating pipe 4c. High stress is generated.
The level sensor 5 is a stainless steel hollow tube and requires an electrode (center electrode) that is a metal rod inside, and a capacitance proportional to the height is generated between the outer tube (outer electrode). Using this principle, the change in the capacitance of the urea water tank in the urea water tank and the non-soaked part is measured. It is configured to display the remaining liquid level by turning on the indicator lamp (LED).
Further, in the identification sensor 6, a sensor that detects the concentration of urea water at the tip of the hollow tube made of stainless steel is mounted inside the hollow tube.
Therefore, the rigidity of the entire piping unit 11 is maintained by the thick outer diameters of the level sensor 5 and the identification sensor 6.
As a result, the weight of the entire pipe assembly member 11 is increased, and the level sensor 5 and the identification sensor 6 are made of stainless steel, which increases costs.

本発明はこのような問題点を解決するためになされたもので尿素水タンクの蓋部材に取付けられる各配管類の取付部に発生する応力を低減すると共に、コスト低減と重量軽減を図った尿素水タンク内の配管ユニット構造を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and reduces the stress generated in the attachment portion of each piping attached to the lid member of the urea water tank, and reduces the cost and weight. It aims at providing the piping unit structure in a water tank.

本発明はかかる目的を達成するもので、尿素水貯溜用タンク本体の上面に着脱自在に取付けられるとともに配管部材が貫通する貫通孔が穿設された略長方形状の蓋部材と、
該蓋部材の貫通孔に嵌着されて前記タンク本体内を下面に向かって延び、前記タンク本体内に貯溜される尿素水を加温する流体が流れる加温用配管と、前記蓋部材に取付けられて前記タンク本体内を下面に向かって延び、前記タンク本体内に貯溜される尿素水を前記タンク外に尿素水送出する尿素水送出用配管と、前記蓋部材に取付けられて前記タンク本体内を下面に向かって延び、前記タンク本体内に貯溜される尿素水の濃度を検出する識別センサ用配管と、前記蓋部材に取付けられて前記タンク本体内を下面に向かって延び、前記タンク本体内に貯溜される尿素水の残留量を検知するレベルセンサ用配管と、前記蓋部材に取付けられて先端部が前記タンク本体内に開口して、前記タンク本体内空気の入出通路となるエアー抜き用配管と、前記加温用配管の前記タンク本体の底部に位置する部分で、前記尿素水送出用配管の吸引口と、前記識別センサ用配管の下部を囲繞して前記タンク本体の底部から浮いた状態で配置され前記蓋部材と同方向に長い箱型の放熱部材と、両端が前記蓋部材及び前記放熱部材の夫々に固着され、前記蓋部材の長手方向と略直角方向に平面部が配設された板状の補強部材と、を備えたことを特徴とする尿素水タンク内の配管ユニット構造。
The present invention achieves such an object, a substantially rectangular lid member that is detachably attached to the upper surface of the urea water storage tank body and has a through-hole through which a piping member passes,
A heating pipe that is fitted into the through-hole of the lid member and extends toward the lower surface in the tank body and through which a fluid for heating urea water stored in the tank body flows, and is attached to the lid member And extending to the lower surface of the tank body, the urea water stored in the tank body is sent to the outside of the tank, and the urea water delivery pipe is attached to the lid member. And a piping for an identification sensor for detecting the concentration of urea water stored in the tank body, and attached to the lid member and extending in the tank body toward the bottom surface. A level sensor pipe for detecting the remaining amount of urea water stored in the tank, and an air vent attached to the lid member and having a leading end opened in the tank body to serve as an inlet / outlet passage for air in the tank body Piping, The portion of the heating pipe located at the bottom of the tank body is arranged in a state of floating from the bottom of the tank body surrounding the suction port of the urea water delivery pipe and the lower part of the identification sensor pipe A box-shaped heat radiating member that is long in the same direction as the lid member, and a plate in which both ends are fixed to the lid member and the heat radiating member, and a flat portion is disposed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lid member. A piping unit structure in a urea water tank, comprising: a reinforcing member having a shape.

このような構成にすることにより、車体からの振動による放熱箱7の揺動に対し、放熱部材の長手方向と直角の方向が最も大きい曲げ作用力を受けるので、該方向への曲げ剛性が大きくなるように補強部材の平面部を放熱部材の長手方向と略直角の方向に配設することにより、各配管部材の蓋部材への取付部(嵌着部)に発生する応力を低減できる。
従って、従来のセンサ部材で剛性を維持していたものを補強材にて剛性を維持するようにしたので、センサの太さ(剛性)、重量の軽減及び材質変更等が可能となり、重量及びコストの軽減の選択が容易となる。
更に、補強部材からの放熱により尿素水の凍結融解、又は凍結防止が図られる。
By adopting such a configuration, the bending force in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the heat radiating member is applied to the swing of the heat radiating box 7 due to the vibration from the vehicle body, so that the bending rigidity in the direction is large. By arranging the flat portion of the reinforcing member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the heat radiating member, the stress generated in the attachment portion (fitting portion) of each piping member to the lid member can be reduced.
Accordingly, since the rigidity of the conventional sensor member is maintained by the reinforcing material, the thickness (rigidity) of the sensor, the weight can be reduced, and the material can be changed. The selection of mitigation becomes easier.
Furthermore, freeze / thaw or prevention of freezing of urea water is achieved by heat radiation from the reinforcing member.

また、本願発明において好ましくは、前記補強部材は前記平面部と略直角方向の幅が、前記平面部の幅より小さくするとよい。 In the present invention, preferably, the reinforcing member has a width in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane portion smaller than the width of the plane portion.

このような構成にすることにより、補強部材は平面部と略直角の方向の幅を平面部の幅より小さくしたので、放熱部材の長手方向が受ける車体からの振動による曲げ作用力を軽減することができ、各配管部材の蓋部材への取付部(嵌着部)に発生する応力を低減することができる。   By adopting such a configuration, the reinforcing member has a width in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane portion smaller than the width of the plane portion, so that the bending force caused by vibration from the vehicle body received by the longitudinal direction of the heat dissipation member can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the stress generated in the attachment portion (fitting portion) of each piping member to the lid member.

また、本願発明において好ましくは、前記補強部材の前記平面部には前記蓋部材の長手方向に沿って貫通する貫通孔が上下方向に複数穿設されるとよい。   In the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of through-holes penetrating along the longitudinal direction of the lid member are formed in the flat portion of the reinforcing member in the vertical direction.

このような構成にすることにより、揺動による補強部材の平面部に対する曲げモーメントの軽減を図ると共に重量軽減、尿素水が貫通孔を通過することによる液体の攪拌、攪拌による尿素水の薬剤の濃度均一化が図れる。   By adopting such a configuration, the bending moment with respect to the flat portion of the reinforcing member by swinging is reduced, the weight is reduced, the liquid is stirred by passing the urea water through the through hole, and the concentration of the chemical in the urea water by the stirring Uniformity can be achieved.

また、本願発明において好ましくは、前記補強部材の下部と、前記放熱部材との結合構造において、前記放熱部材の前記補強部材と対向した面に一端が溶着され、他端には前記補強部材下端部の横断面形状外周と略同形状の筒状孔を備えた連結部材を介装し、前記補強部材の下端部を前記筒状孔に嵌入して溶着するとよい。   In the present invention, preferably, in a coupling structure between the lower portion of the reinforcing member and the heat radiating member, one end is welded to a surface of the heat radiating member facing the reinforcing member, and the other end is the lower end of the reinforcing member. It is good to interpose the connection member provided with the cylindrical hole of the substantially same shape as the cross-sectional outer periphery of this, and to fit the lower end part of the said reinforcement member in the said cylindrical hole, and to weld.

このような構成にすることにより、補強部材の下端部と連結部材との結合構造を嵌入して、溶着した構造としたので、蓋部材と放熱部材間に配管される各配管部材の長さによる組立精度誤差を吸収して組立てることが可能となると共に、放熱部材と連結部材及び、連結部材と補強部材間を溶着結合としたので、放熱部材から補強部材への熱伝導率が高く、補強部材を放熱板としての効果が期待できる。   By adopting such a configuration, since the joining structure of the lower end portion of the reinforcing member and the connecting member is fitted and welded, it depends on the length of each piping member that is piped between the lid member and the heat radiating member. It is possible to assemble by absorbing the assembly accuracy error, and since the heat dissipation member and the connecting member and between the connecting member and the reinforcing member are welded, the heat conductivity from the heat dissipating member to the reinforcing member is high, and the reinforcing member The effect as a heat sink can be expected.

また、本願発明において好ましくは、前記レベルセンサは外筒がステンレス製の中空管で形成され、該中空管の中空部にはリードスィッチを前記タンク本体の上下方向に複数配設し、外周部にフロート部材を備えた環状の磁石を外嵌させた構造とするとよい。 Preferably, in the present invention, the level sensor has an outer cylinder formed of a stainless steel hollow tube, and a plurality of reed switches are disposed in the hollow portion of the hollow tube in the vertical direction of the tank body, It is good to set it as the structure which carried out the external fitting of the annular magnet provided with the float member in the part.

このような構成にすることにより、レベルセンサは外筒を細くすることが可能となり、レベルセンサの重量軽減及び、高価なステンレスパイプのサイズダウンによるコスト低減が可能となる。   By adopting such a configuration, the level sensor can make the outer cylinder thin, and the weight of the level sensor can be reduced and the cost can be reduced by reducing the size of the expensive stainless steel pipe.

本発明によれば、車両走行時の車体の振動に対し、放熱部材の長手方向と直角の方向が大きく振動するため、該方向への曲げ剛性が大きくなるように補強部材の平面部を放熱部材の長手方向と略直角の方向に配設したので、各配管部材の蓋部材への取付部(嵌着部)に発生する応力を低減できる。
更に、補強部材の配設により、蓋部材と放熱部材との組付け剛性が向上したので、レベルセンサの外筒の外径を小さくすることができ重量及びコスト軽減が可能となった。
According to the present invention, since the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the heat radiating member greatly vibrates with respect to the vibration of the vehicle body during traveling of the vehicle, the flat portion of the reinforcing member is radiated so as to increase the bending rigidity in that direction. Since it has been arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, it is possible to reduce the stress generated in the attachment portion (fitting portion) of each piping member to the lid member.
Furthermore, since the assembling rigidity of the lid member and the heat radiating member has been improved by the arrangement of the reinforcing member, the outer diameter of the outer cylinder of the level sensor can be reduced, and the weight and cost can be reduced.

また、前記補強部材の前記平面部には前記蓋部材の長手方向に沿って貫通する貫通孔が上下方向に複数穿設されたので、車両走行時の尿素水の流動による補強部材の平面部への衝突に対する曲げモーメントの軽減を図ると共に、液体が貫通孔を通過することによる液体の攪拌、攪拌による液体に混合されている薬剤の濃度均一化が図れる。
更に、補強部材から熱を放熱することにより液体の凍結防止及び、凍結の融解をする効果を有することができる。
In addition, since a plurality of through holes penetrating along the longitudinal direction of the lid member are formed in the flat portion of the reinforcing member in the vertical direction, the flat portion of the reinforcing member due to the flow of urea water during vehicle travel is provided. The bending moment with respect to the collision of the liquid can be reduced, the liquid can be agitated by passing through the through-hole, and the concentration of the medicine mixed in the liquid by the agitation can be made uniform.
Furthermore, by releasing heat from the reinforcing member, the liquid can be prevented from freezing and freezing and thawing can be achieved.

This is a pipe for adjusting the atmospheric pressure in the tank body 2 when water is fed to the tank.

タンク本体2内の底面部近傍には加温パイプ4bと、加温パイプ4f、識別センサ24の下端部及び、尿素水送出パイプ9の吸引口を囲繞した放熱部材である放熱箱25が配設されている。放熱箱25は直方体(六面体)に形成され、長手方向がタンク本体2の長手方向と同じ方向(蓋部材3の長手方向と同じ)に配設されている。放熱箱25の底面はタンク本体2内の底面より若干の間隔を有している。放熱箱25内は加温パイプ4bと、加温パイプ4fが放熱箱25の対向する長手方向壁面の下部に夫々接合されている。
接合部はエンジンの冷却水の熱が加温パイプから放熱箱25に伝導され易いようにロー付溶接してある。
また、放熱箱25を直方体(六面体)に形成して識別センサ24の下端部及び、尿素水送出パイプ9の吸引口を囲繞することにより、放熱箱25内の凍結した尿素水を他の部分より早く融解させて、尿素水の早期送水を可能とするためである。
尚、本実施形態では放熱箱25を直方体としたが、両端の水平断面が略半円状になった長円形状の容積体であっても同じ効果を有する。

Has been. The heat radiating box 25 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped (hexahedron), and the longitudinal direction is arranged in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the tank body 2 (the same as the longitudinal direction of the lid member 3). The bottom surface of the heat dissipation box 25 is slightly spaced from the bottom surface in the tank body 2. Inside the heat radiating box 25, a heating pipe 4b and a heating pipe 4f are joined to the lower portions of the opposing longitudinal wall surfaces of the heat radiating box 25, respectively.
The joint is welded with brazing so that the heat of the cooling water of the engine is easily conducted from the heating pipe to the heat radiating box 25.
Further, by forming the heat radiating box 25 in a rectangular parallelepiped (hexahedron) and surrounding the lower end portion of the identification sensor 24 and the suction port of the urea water delivery pipe 9, the frozen urea water in the heat radiating box 25 is removed from other parts. This is because it can be melted quickly to enable early water supply of urea water.
In the present embodiment, the heat radiating box 25 is a rectangular parallelepiped, but the same effect can be obtained even with an elliptical volume body in which the horizontal cross sections at both ends are substantially semicircular.

識別センサ用配管である識別センサ24は外筒が樹脂製であり上部が蓋部材3の他端部側に固着され、下端部は放熱箱25の上壁面(蓋部材3と対向した面)を貫通して、放熱箱25の中に位置している。
また、放熱箱25の中に識別センサ24の下端部を配設することにより、タンク本体2内の他の部分よりいち早く融解した放熱箱25内の尿素水の品質をチェックするためである。
尿素水が窒素酸化物NOxをNOx還元触媒にて効率的に且つ、確実に窒素と水に分解する還元作用を行わせるためである。
The identification sensor 24, which is a pipe for the identification sensor, has an outer cylinder made of resin, an upper portion fixed to the other end portion of the lid member 3, and a lower end portion of the upper surface of the heat radiating box 25 (a surface facing the lid member 3). It penetrates and is located in the heat dissipation box 25.
In addition, by disposing the lower end portion of the identification sensor 24 in the heat radiating box 25, the quality of the urea water in the heat radiating box 25 melted earlier than the other parts in the tank body 2 is checked.
This is because the urea water performs a reducing action for efficiently and reliably decomposing nitrogen oxides NOx into nitrogen and water by the NOx reduction catalyst.

レベルセンサ用配管であるレベルセンサ23は上下方向中間部の外郭がステンレス(SUS)製で上端部は樹脂製のアタッチメント(図示省略)を介して蓋部材3の一端部側に固着され、下端部は放熱箱25の上壁面(蓋部材3と対向した面)に樹脂製のアタッチメント(図示省略)を介して固着されている。外径寸法はφd×0.3(従来はφd)としてある。

Is fixed to the upper wall surface of the heat radiating box 25 (the surface facing the lid member 3) via a resin attachment (not shown). The outer diameter is φd × 0.3 (conventional φd).
The level sensor 23 is a hollow tube made of stainless steel and has an outer diameter of φd × 0.3. A plurality of reed switches (not shown) are arranged in the vertical direction in the hollow portion of the hollow tube. A float 231 that rises and falls depending on the level of urea water is loosely fitted on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder portion of the level sensor 23. An annular magnet 232 having a magnetic force is provided in the inner periphery of the float 231. The magnet 232 moves up and down together with the float 231 due to the water level of the urea water, and the reed switch in the hollow portion at the position facing the magnet 232 is switched on by magnetic force. The system is configured to display the remaining amount of urea water in the driver's seat by turning on the reed switch.
With this configuration, the outer diameter of the level sensor 23 can be changed from φd to φd × 0.3, and the weight and cost can be reduced.

補強部材は詳細形状を図3にて示す。補強部材は水平断面が長方形状で平板状の補強ステー21と、補強ステー21の上端部側に配設され蓋部材と固着される取付ブラケット28と、補強ステー21の下端部側に配設され放熱箱25と固着する連結ブラケット22とを備えている。補強ステー21の平板状の平面部は蓋部材3の長手方向(車幅方向)と略直角方向に配置される。補強ステー21の上端部は断面がコ字状で、コ字状の開口部が補強ステー21の平面部と直角の面である両側面を挟持するように取付ブラケット28が固着されている。補強ステー21の上端部は取付ブラケット28のコ字状の底辺部を蓋部材3の下面に固着されている。
一方、補強ステー21の下端部に配設される連結ブラケット22は補強ステー21の下端部が嵌入する筒状凹部を有し、補強ステー21の下端部を連結ブラケット22の筒状凹部に嵌入して、連結ブラケット22を介して放熱箱25に溶着(ロー付溶接)されている。連結ブラケット22と放熱箱25との溶着位置は放熱箱25の長手方向中間部である。
また、本実施例の場合、平面部の幅は放熱箱25の短辺方向幅と略等しくしてある。断面形状の大きさは状況により変化させることは容易である。
補強ステー21の下端部と連結ブラケット22の筒状凹部とは溶着(ロー付溶接)されている。この際、蓋部材3に取付けられている他の各配管類(加温パイプ、識別センサ、レベルセンサ等)の放熱箱25までの寸法精度の誤差を吸収するように、筒状凹部と補強ステー21の下端部との嵌合量を調整して、筒状凹部と補強ステー21の下端部とを溶着する。
また、補強ステー21は前記平面部に対して厚みの比率が小さく、基本の水平断面は中空の長方形で且つ、閉断面形状に形成されている。
更に、補強ステー21の平面部には平面に対して略直角方向(蓋部材3の長手方向)に貫通した貫通孔がタンク本体3の上下方向に複数穿設されている。
The detailed shape of the reinforcing member is shown in FIG. The reinforcing member has a rectangular horizontal section and a flat plate-like reinforcing stay 21, a mounting bracket 28 which is disposed on the upper end side of the reinforcing stay 21 and is fixed to the lid member, and is disposed on the lower end side of the reinforcing stay 21. A radiating box 25 and a connecting bracket 22 are provided. The flat planar portion of the reinforcing stay 21 is arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (vehicle width direction) of the lid member 3. The upper end portion of the reinforcing stay 21 has a U-shaped cross section, and the mounting bracket 28 is fixed so that the U-shaped opening portion sandwiches both side surfaces that are surfaces perpendicular to the flat portion of the reinforcing stay 21. The upper end portion of the reinforcing stay 21 is fixed to the lower surface of the lid member 3 with the U-shaped bottom portion of the mounting bracket 28.
On the other hand, the connecting bracket 22 disposed at the lower end of the reinforcing stay 21 has a cylindrical recess into which the lower end of the reinforcing stay 21 is fitted, and the lower end of the reinforcing stay 21 is inserted into the cylindrical recess of the connecting bracket 22. Then, it is welded (welded with brazing) to the heat radiating box 25 via the connecting bracket 22. The welding position of the connection bracket 22 and the heat radiating box 25 is the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the heat radiating box 25.
In the present embodiment, the width of the flat portion is substantially equal to the width of the heat radiation box 25 in the short side direction. The size of the cross-sectional shape can be easily changed depending on the situation.
The lower end of the reinforcing stay 21 and the cylindrical recess of the connecting bracket 22 are welded (welded with brazing). At this time, the cylindrical concave portion and the reinforcing stay are absorbed so as to absorb the error in dimensional accuracy of the other pipes (heating pipe, identification sensor, level sensor, etc.) attached to the lid member 3 up to the radiation box 25. The fitting amount with the lower end of 21 is adjusted, and the cylindrical recess and the lower end of the reinforcing stay 21 are welded.
The reinforcement stay 21 has a small thickness ratio with respect to the flat portion, and the basic horizontal cross section is a hollow rectangle and is formed in a closed cross section.
Further, a plurality of through holes penetrating in the plane portion of the reinforcement stay 21 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane (longitudinal direction of the lid member 3) are formed in the vertical direction of the tank body 3.

本実施形態では、放熱箱25と加温パイプ4b、4fの接合、放熱箱25と連結ブラケット22の接合、及び連結ブラケット22と補強ステー21との接合をロー付溶接としたので、夫々の溶接部(接合部)にロー材が流れ込み隙間を無くしている。
従って、接合部の面積が大きくなり、接合部の熱伝導が良好となるため、補助ステーにもエンジンの冷却水の熱が伝わり、凍結した尿素水の融解又は凍結防止が効率よく行える。(ロー付溶接の場合、接合部に接合部の前処理としてフラックスを塗布するが、塗布した部分にはロー材が浸透し易い利点がある)
In the present embodiment, the joining of the heat radiating box 25 and the heating pipes 4b and 4f, the joining of the heat radiating box 25 and the connecting bracket 22, and the joining of the connecting bracket 22 and the reinforcing stay 21 are made by brazing welding. The brazing material flows into the part (joint part) and the gap is eliminated.
Accordingly, the area of the joint is increased, and the heat conduction of the joint is improved, so that the heat of the engine cooling water is also transmitted to the auxiliary stay, so that the frozen urea water can be efficiently melted or prevented from freezing. (In the case of welding with brazing, flux is applied to the joint as a pretreatment of the joint, but the applied part has the advantage that the brazing material is easy to penetrate)

補強ステー21の平面部はタンク本体2内の尿素水の流動により最も大きい曲げモーメントを受け易い方向(放熱箱25の長手方向に対して略直角方向)にそって配置されているので、該方向に対する剛性が高く、且つ、基本の水平断面が閉断面構造となっているので、捩れに対する剛性も強化されている。
また、補強ステー21の平面部に略直角方向へ貫通した貫通孔をタンク本体3の上下方向に複数穿設したので、尿素水の流動により、尿素水が貫通孔を通過するたびに尿素水が攪拌され、溶液の均一化が図れる。
更に、補強ステー21は前記平面部に対して厚みの比率が小さくなっており、小さくなった面(補強ステー21の厚さ方向の面)が尿素水の流動により最も大きい曲げモーメントを受け易い方向に向いているので、補強ステー21自体に尿素水が作用する作用力は小さくなり、配管組立部材28の蓋部材3に取付けられている各配管に発生する曲げ応力は低減される。
The flat portion of the reinforcing stay 21 is arranged along a direction (substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the heat radiating box 25) that is susceptible to the largest bending moment due to the flow of urea water in the tank body 2. Since the basic horizontal section has a closed section structure, the rigidity against torsion is also enhanced.
Further, since a plurality of through holes penetrating in the substantially perpendicular direction to the flat portion of the reinforcing stay 21 are formed in the vertical direction of the tank main body 3, the urea water flows each time the urea water passes through the through holes due to the flow of the urea water. The solution is stirred to make the solution uniform.
Furthermore, the ratio of the thickness of the reinforcing stay 21 with respect to the flat portion is small, and the reduced surface (surface in the thickness direction of the reinforcing stay 21) is likely to receive the largest bending moment due to the flow of urea water. Therefore, the acting force of the urea water acting on the reinforcing stay 21 itself is reduced, and the bending stress generated in each pipe attached to the lid member 3 of the pipe assembly member 28 is reduced.
