Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a washer tank mounting device mainly used in cab-over type automobiles, which is formed of a front panel having an inclined surface substantially the same as the windshield.

Traditionally, in cab-over type cars, the water tank that stores the windshield washer fluid is either placed at the bottom in front of the passenger seat, or
Alternatively, it was placed between the shelf at the bottom of the instrument panel and the front panel. The former is convenient for filling the washer fluid, but has the disadvantage that the space for the occupant's feet is narrow, while the latter allows for more interior space, but the washer tank must be removed from the narrow space when filling the washer fluid. In both cases, if the washer liquid is injected into the washer tank inside the car, there is a risk of making the inside of the car dirty due to a mistake in filling the washer liquid, and if injecting it outside the car, it is time-consuming. There was an inconvenience.

The present invention is a washer tank mounting device that makes effective use of the interior space of a cab-over type car, allows for easy injection of washer fluid from outside the car without removing the washer tank, and eliminates the risk of contaminating the inside of the car due to injection errors. The purpose is to provide a washer tank 4 between an instrument panel 1 and a front panel 3 of an automobile, which is formed of a front panel having an inclined surface substantially the same as the windshield. ,
It is characterized in that the opening 5 of the washer tank 4 is connected to a washer liquid injection hole 7 provided in the front panel 3 via a communication pipe 6.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a washer tank 4 is disposed between a front panel 3 and an instrument panel 1 of a cab-over type automobile, and an opening 5 of the washer tank 4 is provided with a washer liquid that has been poured into the front panel 3. For example, one end of a flexible communication pipe 6 is fitted into the injection hole 7, and the other end thereof is fitted into the injection hole 7. 8
9 is a cap that seals one end of the communication pipe 6, and 9 is a glove box mounted on the instrument panel 1. A notch 10 or hole is provided at the front edge of the undertray 2 at a portion facing the washer tank 4 so that the remaining amount of washer fluid in the washer tank 4 can be checked. Since the washer fluid injection hole 6 is provided near one side of the vehicle body as shown in the second figure, the washer fluid can be easily injected into the washer tank 4.

In the drawings, the washer fluid injection port for the windshield 11, the hose connecting this to the washer tank, and the washer fluid supply unit such as the motor and pump are omitted.

As described above, according to the present invention, the washer tank 4 is disposed between the front panel 3 and the instrument panel 1 of a cab-over type automobile, which is mainly formed of a front panel having an inclined surface substantially the same as the windshield. Since the opening 5 of the washer tank 4 is connected to the washer fluid injection hole 7 provided in the front panel 3 through the communication pipe 6, the interior space of the vehicle can be used effectively and the washer tank can be taken out. The washer fluid can be injected from outside the vehicle without any problems, and the interior of the vehicle will not be dirty due to injection errors or spills from the cap on rough roads, sharp turns, etc. Furthermore, the washer fluid injection hole 7 is located on the almost vertical surface of the front panel. As a result, raindrops and the like do not accumulate on the peripheral edge of the washer liquid injection hole 7 and flow down smoothly, and there is no risk of water leaking into the vehicle interior.
