Definitions
- 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.
- 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.
- the tractors also include, at the front end of the vehicle, counterweights intended to maintain good grip of the front wheels of the vehicle during work.
- counterweights intended to maintain good grip of the front wheels of the vehicle during work.
- An example of mounting a counterweight is shown in publication US-A-3,490,787.
- the counterweights being arranged at the front limit of the vehicle, the capacity of the tank is therefore defined by the space between the power train and said counterweights. Too low a fuel tank volume, with negative consequences on the work rate. It is obvious that a large volume tank limits the number of stops intended for filling the tank and therefore improves the yield.
- 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 so as to be detrimental to suitable use.
- 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.
- the invention also relates to counterweights having a shape allowing the extension of the tank.
- the reservoir consists of at least one main reserve and a secondary reserve which extends in the assembly forming a counterweight.
- At least part of the counterweights, forming the counterweight assembly comprises an open area making it possible to accommodate therein at least part of the secondary reserve.
- the counterweights are stacked in a vertical direction.
- At least one counterweight forms a cover for closing the open area for receiving the part of the secondary reserve.
- At least one wall of the tank forms an element of the exterior bodywork of the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the front part of a tractor comprising a tank and counterweights according to the invention.
- the tractor comprises at least, in its front part 1 a powertrain 2 (diagrammatically), a directional front axle 3, a fuel tank 4 and a set 5 forming a counterweight (not positioned in the figure in order to represent the tank 4 as a whole) arranged at the front end of the vehicle and distinct from the tank 4.
- the set 5 forming a counterweight is formed in our example of embodiment of several counterweights 10.
- 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 counterweights 10.
- the secondary reserve 7 is located below the main reserve 6 and extends longitudinally forward, by a part 8 which forms a protuberance, in the zone intended for counterweights.
- the secondary reserve 7 may be of a narrower width than that of the main reserve 6.
- the latter 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.
- at least a certain number of the counterweights 10, of substantially trapezoidal shape comprises a recess 11 opening out, 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 to 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.
- 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 gap important can be unsightly or can give rise to areas suitable for the accumulation of soil, for example.
- 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.
- the main reserve 6 and the secondary reserve 7 can form a reservoir 4 in one piece.
- 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.
