Abstract:
1. A mounting structure for a heat accumulation tank, comprising: a tank main body forming the heat accumulation tank; an elastic member that wraps around the periphery of the tank main body; and a mounting member which wraps around the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member, which holds the tank main body via the elastic member, wherein the mounting member has: wherein the spot weld zone is provided on at least one side portion from among both side portions of the band when the band is divided into thirds in the width direction, the spot welding of the bracket at this location serving to prevent uneven surface pressure on the middle third portion of the band in the width direction, which enables the heat accumulation tank to be held with greater reliability, wherein the width direction of the band is perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the tank body, wherein the tank main body has an axial core and the heat accumulation tank is mounted with the axial core of the tank main body pointing in the vertical direction; and the mounting member includes a shift inhibiting portion which inhibits the tank main body from shifting upwards in the vertical direction of the tank main body.
