Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a mounting mechanism for a tank such as a brake reservoir tank of an automobile that stores a liquid.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in the case of a brake reservoir tank, conventionally, the first
As shown in the figure, the lid (11) A is attached to the top of the body (1) A of the tank (1).
Has an oil filling port (11) with a check port (12) having a level indicator (12) A, and a hose (13) is connected to the bottom of the tank (1). To attach the bracket to the mounted part (2), insert a pair of brackets (14), (14) having screw holes (14) A, (14) A from both sides of the filling port (11), ) A, (14) A, and fixed to the attached part (2) with screws (3), (3).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above configuration, the fixing point is only the position of the screw holes (14) A, (14) A of the pair of brackets (14), (14) above the tank (1), and the axis connecting the pair of fixing points is fixed. The tank (1) can be tilted slightly as a fulcrum, and the mounting accuracy and the bracket (14) of the tank (1), the screw hole (14) A of the (14),
(14) Connect a pair of fixing points of the tank (1) due to variations in the accuracy of the position of A and / or the positions of screw holes on the attached part (2) side, or variations in the mounting position of the hose (13) Due to the inclination of the shaft itself and / or the inclination of the tank (1) with the shaft as a fulcrum, the tank (1) is inclined, and the liquid level stored in the tank (1) is changed to cause the tank (1) to change. There is a problem that an error occurs when the liquid level position in () is detected by the level indicator (12) A or the like.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and a pair of mounting brackets (14) and (14) are formed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the mounting surface of the liquid tank (1), and the lower edge of the mounting surface is formed. From the above, the engaging piece (15) is inserted and formed downward,
An H-shaped cut is made in the attached portion (2) to which the liquid tank (1) is attached, and a lower portion of the cut portion is bent to form a substantially L-shaped fixed bracket (upper and left and right are opened). 24) projectingly engages the engaging piece (15) of the liquid tank (1) with the inner side of the fixed bracket (24) of the attached portion (2), and the pair of mounting brackets (1)
The skeleton is that 4) and (14) are fixed to the attached part (2) by a fastener (3).

[Action]

In the liquid tank (1) of the present invention, the engaging piece (15) extended from the lower edge of the mounting surface is engaged with the inside of the fixed bracket (24) of the mounted portion (2). Since the upper and left and right sides of the locking bracket (15) are open, the locking piece (15) can be engaged with the fixing bracket (24) from above or from the side. Therefore, if desired, the liquid tank (1) is slid to the left and right to be aligned and then fixed to the mounted portion (2) by the fastener (3) via the mounting bracket (14). Since the fixed bracket (24) is formed by making an H-shaped cut in the attached portion (2) and bending the lower part of the cut portion, the bracket need not be attached as a separate body.

In this way, the liquid tank (1) is fixed at three points on the upper left and right sides and the lower side of the mounting surface, and is prevented from moving in the left-right direction and the front-back direction.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the present invention makes it extremely easy to attach the tank when the upper portion is fixed while the lower portion is fixed, so that the tank can be attached very easily, and the tank can be attached to the attached portion without using a separate member. On the other hand, since the tank is fixed at three points, the tank is prevented from tilting in any of the left, right, front, and rear directions, the fluctuation of the liquid level in the tank is eliminated, and the liquid level position can be accurately detected.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and subsequent figures. (1) is a brake reservoir tank, an oil filling port (11) having a lid (11) A is provided on the upper surface, and a level indicator is further provided. (12) An inspection port (12) having A is provided, and a hose (13) is connected to the lower part. And tank (1)
A pair of brackets (14), (14) having mounting holes (14) A, (14) A are inserted on both sides of the upper part of the mounting surface, and an engaging piece (15) is inserted from the lower part. On the other hand, make an H-shaped cut in the attached part (2). That is, the attached portion (2) is provided with a pair of notches (21), (21) parallel to the vertical direction, and the notches (21),
The middle part of the panel between (21) is laterally cut to divide it into an upper part (22) and a lower part (23), and the lower part (23) is bent outward in a substantially L-shape as shown in FIG. To form a bracket (24) that is open at the top and the left and right.

In the above structure, to attach the tank (1) to the attached portion (2), the tank (1) is moved from above or sideways along the attached portion (2), and as shown in FIG. (1) engagement piece
Engage (15) with the inside of the fixed bracket (24) of the mounted part (2), correct the position if desired and fix the bracket (1) of the tank (1).
4), (14) mounting holes (14) A, (14) A and mounting hole (2) mounting holes (2)
5), (25) and then screw (3), (3) or bolt,
Secure to the attached part (2) with a fastener such as a nut or rivet. Install the tank (1) as described above
Can be moved from above or to the side along the attached part (2), and the engagement piece (15) of the tank (1) can slide left and right on the fixed bracket (24) of the attached part (2). Repositioning and mounting of the tank (1) is extremely easy because it is inserted as much as possible. Thus, the tank (1) has a mounting hole (14) A,
(14) There are two fixing points on the left and right at the A position, and one fixing point at the engaging piece (15) position at the lower part. To be done.
