At this time, there are annular shapes between the inner surface of the through hole B and the shaft portions a of the bolts 41a, 42a, 43a, and between the inner surface of the hole of the frame F and the shaft portions a of the bolts 41a, 42a, 43a. Colors G and C are interposed.
- the urea water tank 10 is fixed to the vehicle 1 by screwing and tightening the nuts E onto the shaft portions a of the bolts 41a, 42a, and 43a from the upper side of the frame F. Since the urea water tank 10 is detachable from below the vehicle 1 via the fixing means A, it is easy to replace the tank.
- the first fixing point between the first auxiliary frame 41 and the first attachment part 21 is located between the second auxiliary frame 42 and the second attachment part 21 in the width direction of the vehicle. and a third fixing point between the side member 2 and the third attachment portion 23. That is, the triangle connecting the three fixed points, the first fixed point, the second fixed point, and the third fixed point, is an acute triangle in which all three interior angles are less than 90 degrees. This makes it possible to support the urea water tank 10 more stably.
- the expanded portion 11c of the urea water tank 10 is wider than the connecting portions 11a and 11b, and is heavier than the connecting portions 11a and 11b. For this reason, while the front side of the urea water tank 10 is supported at one point, the first fixed point, the rear side of the urea water tank 10 is supported at two points, the second fixed point and the third fixed point. ing. At this time, if the second fixing point and the third fixing point are arranged at the same position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1, stable support of the urea water tank 10 is further improved. In FIG.
- the bolt 42a at the second fixing point and the bolt 43a at the third fixing point are slightly deviated from each other in the front-rear direction, but by aligning them completely, the support can be further stabilized. can be expected.
- the ranges of the second attachment part 22 and the third attachment part 23 overlap in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1. That is, the ranges of the second fixed point and the third fixed point overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, substantially the same effect as when the bolt 42a and the bolt 43a are arranged at completely the same position in the front-rear direction can be expected.
- the additive for purifying exhaust gas is urea water
- the configuration of the present invention has been explained using a urea water tank that stores the urea water as an example.
- the present invention can also be applied to tanks and the like that store the additive.
- Examples of additives other than urea water include ammonia aqueous solution and the like.
