特開２０１２−１４５００４号公報JP 2012-145004 A

ところで、特許文献１に開示されたリザーブタンクでは、第１の系統のタンクと第２の系統のタンクにそれぞれ冷却水を補充する必要があるが、一体型の容器に見えるため、ユーザーが１つの系統のリザーブタンクであると誤認識し、一方の系統のタンクに冷却水を補充し、他方の系統のタンクに冷却水の補充を行わない可能性がある。   By the way, in the reserve tank disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to replenish the cooling water to the tank of the first system and the tank of the second system, respectively. There is a possibility of misrecognizing that it is a reserve tank of the system, refilling the tank of one system with cooling water, and not refilling the tank of the other system with cooling water.

本発明は、上記事実を考慮して、ユーザーが冷却液の液量確認や補充を行うときに、独立したタンク部を複数備えていることを認識しやすいリザーブタンクを提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above facts, the present invention has an object to provide a reserve tank that allows a user to easily recognize that a plurality of independent tank portions are provided when the amount of coolant is checked or refilled. .

本発明の請求項１に記載のリザーブタンクは、第１冷却回路で用いる第１冷却水を内部に貯溜可能とされ、タンク上方に位置する上面部に設けられた前記第１冷却水の補充口が第１蓋部材によって閉塞され、側面部に前記第１冷却水の液量確認用の第１確認部が設けられた第１タンク部と、前記第１タンク部と一体とされ、前記第１タンク部に対しタンク上下方向と直交する第１方向に隣接して設けられ、第２冷却回路で用いる第２冷却水を内部に貯溜可能とされ、タンク上方に位置する上面部に設けられた前記第２冷却水の補充口が第２蓋部材によって閉塞され、前記第１方向で前記第１確認部が設けられた前記側面部に対し反対側に位置する側面部に前記第２冷却水の液量確認用の第２確認部が設けられた第２タンク部と、前記第１タンク部の上面部と前記第２タンク部の上面部との境界に沿って設けられ、タンク下方に向かって凹となる溝部と、を有している。   According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reserve tank, wherein the first cooling water used in the first cooling circuit can be stored therein, and the first cooling water replenishing port provided on the upper surface portion located above the tank. Is closed by a first lid member, and a first tank part having a first confirmation part for confirming the liquid amount of the first cooling water is provided on a side part, and the first tank part is integrated with the first tank part. Provided adjacent to the tank portion in a first direction perpendicular to the tank vertical direction, the second cooling water used in the second cooling circuit can be stored inside, and provided on the upper surface portion located above the tank. The replenishing port of the second cooling water is closed by the second lid member, and the second cooling water is disposed on the side surface located on the opposite side to the side surface provided with the first confirmation portion in the first direction. A second tank portion provided with a second confirmation portion for confirming the amount; and the first tank Provided along the boundary between the upper surface portion and the upper surface portion of the second tank portion parts has a groove which is concave toward the tank downward, the.

請求項１に記載のリザーブタンクでは、第１蓋部材を補充口から外すことで第１タンク部内に第１冷却水を補充することができる。一方、第２蓋部材を補充口から外すことで第２タンク部内に第２冷却水を補充することができる。
ここで、上記リザーブタンクでは、第１タンク部の第１確認部と第２タンク部の第２確認部とがタンク上下方向と直交する第１方向（第１タンク部と第２タンク部とが隣接する方向）で互いに反対側に位置する側面部に設けられている。このため、ユーザーが液量確認を行うときに、例えば、第１確認部を見ると、第２蓋部材よりも近くに第１蓋部材が見え、第２確認部を見ると、第１蓋部材よりも近くに第２蓋部材が見える。これにより、ユーザーは、液量確認時に、第１確認部と第１蓋部材が対で、第２確認部と第２蓋部材が対であることを認識しやすくなる。すなわち、リザーブタンクが複数のタンク部に分かれていることを認識しやすくなる。 In the reserve tank according to the first aspect, the first cooling water can be replenished into the first tank portion by removing the first lid member from the replenishing port. On the other hand, the second cooling water can be replenished into the second tank portion by removing the second lid member from the replenishment port.

(Adjacent directions) are provided on side portions located on opposite sides. For this reason, when the user checks the liquid amount, for example, when looking at the first confirmation portion, the first lid member is seen closer to the second lid member, and when looking at the second confirmation portion, the first lid member is seen. The second lid member can be seen closer. This makes it easier for the user to recognize that the first confirmation unit and the first lid member are a pair and the second confirmation unit and the second lid member are a pair when the liquid amount is confirmed. That is, it becomes easy to recognize that the reserve tank is divided into a plurality of tank portions.

また、リザーブタンクでは、第１タンク部の上面部と第２タンク部の上面部との境界に沿って溝部が設けられているため、タンク上方側（斜め上方含む）から見ると、溝部を境界にして独立したタンク部が複数並んでいるように見える。
これにより、ユーザーが冷却液の補充を行うためにリザーブタンクをタンク上方側から見た場合に、上記リザーブタンクが複数のタンク部に分かれていることを認識しやすくなる。 Further, in the reserve tank, since the groove portion is provided along the boundary between the upper surface portion of the first tank portion and the upper surface portion of the second tank portion, the groove portion is defined as a boundary when viewed from the upper side of the tank (including obliquely above). It looks like multiple independent tanks are lined up.
This makes it easier to recognize that the reserve tank is divided into a plurality of tank sections when the user views the reserve tank from above the tank in order to replenish the coolant.

本発明によれば、ユーザーが冷却液の液量確認や補充を行うときに、独立したタンク部を複数備えていることを認識しやすいリザーブタンクを提供することができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a reserve tank that allows a user to easily recognize that a plurality of independent tank portions are provided when the amount of coolant is checked or refilled.

リザーブタンク１０では、蓋部材２２を補充口２０から外すことで第１タンク部１６内に冷却水Ｌ１を補充することができる。一方、蓋部材３２を補充口３０から外すことで第２タンク部２６内に冷却水Ｌ２を補充することができる。   In the reserve tank 10, the cooling water L <b> 1 can be replenished into the first tank portion 16 by removing the lid member 22 from the replenishment port 20. On the other hand, the cooling water L <b> 2 can be replenished into the second tank portion 26 by removing the lid member 32 from the replenishing port 30.

ここで、リザーブタンク１０では、第１タンク部１６のレベルライン２４、２５と第２タンク部２６のレベルライン３４、３５とがタンク幅方向（第１タンク部１６と第２タンク部２６とが隣接する方向）Ｗで互いに反対側の側面部１６Ｂ、２６Ｂに設けられている。このため、ユーザーが液量確認を行うときに、例えば、図７の矢印Ａ側からレベルライン２４、２５を見ると、蓋部材３２よりも近くに蓋部材２２が見え、図７の矢印Ｂ側からレベルライン３４、３５を見ると、蓋部材２２よりも近くに蓋部材３２が見える。
これにより、ユーザーは、液量確認時に、レベルライン２４、２５と蓋部材２２が対で、レベルライン３４、３５と蓋部材３２が対であることを認識しやすくなる。すなわち、リザーブタンク１０が複数のタンク部に分かれていることを認識しやすくなる。 Here, in the reserve tank 10, the level lines 24 and 25 of the first tank unit 16 and the level lines 34 and 35 of the second tank unit 26 are arranged in the tank width direction (the first tank unit 16 and the second tank unit 26 are connected to each other). It is provided on the side portions 16B and 26B opposite to each other in the adjacent direction (W). Therefore, when the user confirms the liquid amount, for example, when viewing the level lines 24 and 25 from the arrow A side in FIG. 7, the lid member 22 is seen closer to the lid member 32, and the arrow B side in FIG. When the level lines 34 and 35 are viewed from the side, the lid member 32 is seen closer to the lid member 22.
This makes it easy for the user to recognize that the level lines 24 and 25 and the lid member 22 are a pair and the level lines 34 and 35 and the lid member 32 are a pair when checking the liquid amount. That is, it becomes easy to recognize that the reserve tank 10 is divided into a plurality of tank portions.

また、リザーブタンク１０では、第１タンク部１６の上面部１６Ａと第２タンク部２６の上面部２６Ａとの境界に沿って溝部３８が設けられているため、図７に示されるように、タンク上方側（斜め上方含む）から見ると、溝部３８を境界にして独立したタンク部が複数並んでいるように見える。
これにより、ユーザーが冷却液の補充を行うためにリザーブタンク１０をタンク上方側から見た場合に、リザーブタンク１０が複数のタンク部に分かれていることを認識しやすくなる。 Moreover, in the reserve tank 10, since the groove part 38 is provided along the boundary of the upper surface part 16A of the 1st tank part 16, and the upper surface part 26A of the 2nd tank part 26, as shown in FIG. When viewed from above (including obliquely above), it appears that a plurality of independent tank portions are arranged with the groove portion 38 as a boundary.
This makes it easier to recognize that the reserve tank 10 is divided into a plurality of tank sections when the user views the reserve tank 10 from above the tank in order to replenish the coolant.

以上のことから、リザーブタンク１０では、ユーザーが冷却液の液量確認や補充を行うときに、独立したタンク部を複数備えていることが認識しやすくなる。   From the above, it becomes easy to recognize that the reserve tank 10 includes a plurality of independent tank portions when the user confirms or replenishes the coolant amount.

また、リザーブタンク１０では、第１タンク部１６と第２タンク部２６を一体としていることから、例えば、別体としたものと比べて、サイズをコンパクト化もしくは更に容量を確保することができる。   Moreover, in the reserve tank 10, since the 1st tank part 16 and the 2nd tank part 26 are united, for example, compared with what was made into the different body, size can be made compact or a capacity | capacitance can be ensured.

以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、上記に限定されるものでなく、その主旨を逸脱しない範囲内において上記以外にも種々変形して実施することが可能であることは勿論である。   Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and various modifications other than the above can be implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Of course.
