Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure in general relates to support structure for holding a CNG cylinder in a farm or agricultural vehicle. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a support structure having enough strength and durability that helps in firmly holding a CNG cylinder at a desired position in a farm or agricultural vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Nowadays, environmental concerns have become a strong motive to innovate in the field of farm or agricultural vehicles. In addition, the increasing stringency of current and future exhaust gas emission regulations is also placing high demands on introducing the CNG fuel based farm or agricultural vehicles in the market.
[0004] Therefore, the compressed natural gas (CNG) is principally used as an alternative fuel in field of farm or agricultural vehicles due to ecological reasons. CNG in general is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly composed of methane [CH4]), to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.
[0005] Compressed natural gas vehicles in particular require a greater amount of space for fuel storage than conventional gasoline powered vehicles. Since it is a compressed gas, rather than a liquid like gasoline, CNG takes up more space for each gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE). It is stored and distributed in hard containers, at a normal pressure of 200-220 bar (2900-3200 psi), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
[0006] In most of the vehicles, CNG tanks are mounted on well-designed channel type structure called frame directly bolted on the floor at four positions on the boot space provided. However, in case of farm or agricultural vehicles there is not enough space at the floor that is required for mounting the CNG cylinder. In addition, mounting of this frame on floor results into transfer of all load to the floor. As there is no structural member underneath of the vehicle at that particular four mounting positions, crack starts at the critical section of the floor & then it propagates because of vehicle dynamic loading, which finally causes floor cracks at several positions. In addition, the tanks that are mounted in the under body of a vehicle are at higher risk of hitting debris on the road or becoming damaged from impact, such as driving over a curb. Hence, there are lot of problems associated with an existing method or structure that are used for mounting the CNG cylinder.
[0007] Therefore, in most of the farm or agricultural vehicle, the cylindrical CNG tank are placed on the left and right side fender. In addition, the CNG driven farm or agricultural vehicle generally positioned CNG tanks on chassis area i.e. around T-assembly (around engine & clutch housing coupling area), rear section of driver seat.
[0008] The major issues arises with the above-mentioned position of the CNG tank is that there is limited scope to add number of cylinder and moreover, each proposed solution results in compromise with functionality of the vehicle. For example, placement of CNG tank on fender eliminate the scope of passenger seat, CNG tank around T- assembly restrict the vision of the front tiers &CNG tank behind the driver seat interrupt the vision of TPL (Three point linkage).
[0009] Furthermore, in some of the CNG driven farm or agricultural vehicle, the CNG tanks generally positioned in front of the bonnet of the vehicle. This positioning of cylinder in front of the vehicle results in the rupture of the cylinder during the time of accident. There is also a chance of blowout of cylinder as the excessive heat generated during the running of the engine.
[0010] Therefore, there is need in the art to provide a simple, compact, and cost effective structure for holding the CNG cylinder at the rooftop and that can be assembled as per the user’s requirements. In addition, there is also a requirement that the structure have enough strength and durability that helps in holding the cylinder efficiently.
[0011] Moreover, the required layout of the structure helps in increasing an overall efficiency of the vehicles as well as providing the better performance & reliability.
