Abstract:
To provide a tank unit having reliability that is improved more than before, regarding a tank unit formed by connecting a plurality of high-pressure tanks.SOLUTION: A tank unit includes: a plurality of high-pressure tanks arranged in parallel with one another; a head-side connection tool; and a bottom-side connection tool. The head-side connection tool connects heads of the high-pressure tanks, while the bottom-side connection tool connects bottoms of the high-pressure tanks. When being viewed from a tank longitudinal direction connecting the heads to the bottoms, all the high-pressure tanks are arranged inside of a profile of the head-side connection tool and also arranged inside of a profile of the bottom-side connection tool. When being viewed from an arrangement direction of the high-pressure tanks and a plan-view direction intersecting the tank longitudinal direction and the arrangement direction, all the high-pressure tanks are arranged inside of a profile including the head-side connection tool and the bottom-side connection tool, whereby even when the tank unit falls in any posture, the head-side connection tool or the bottom-side connection tool comes into contact with a ground surface first, and hence the high-pressure tanks are protected.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
