The side wall of the exhaust first-order float 6.1 is also provided with at least one structural hole 6.7, which connects the inner and outer sides of the exhaust first-order float 6.1. In this embodiment, there are two structural holes 6.7; the pressure of the slope exhaust component 6 when it is opened once (the exhaust second-order float 6.1 is opened) is above 45Kpa, and the pressure of the second opening (the exhaust first-order float is opened) is above 10Kpa. A guide groove 6.3 is axially arranged on the outer wall of the exhaust first-stage float 6.1, and a guide strip 3.10 adapted to the guide groove 6.3 is arranged on the inner wall of the second accommodating chamber 3.8. During assembly, the guide strip 3.10 is embedded in the guide groove 6.3, and when the exhaust first-stage float 6.1 floats, the guide strip 3.10 can slide up and down in the guide groove 6.3.
[0051] In this embodiment, the refueling first-order float 4.1, the refueling second-order float 4.3 of the refueling control valve assembly 4, and the exhaust first-order float 6.1 and the exhaust second-order float of the slope exhaust assembly 6 are all made of phenolic resin material, which has excellent thermal stability and wear resistance. Phenolic resin is a thermosetting material, and the mass production molding dimensional tolerance can reach ±0.02, while the tolerance of ordinary materials such as POM nylon is only ±0.2. The higher the dimensional stability, the greater the reliability of the float floating up and down. At the same time, phenolic resin is also better than POM and nylon in wear resistance and high and low temperature resistance. The specific gravity of phenolic resin material is twice that of POM or nylon, which is easier to achieve small volume and large weight.
[0052] Working principle of refueling control valve assembly 4: When the pressure is high, the first-stage refueling float 4.1 and the second-stage refueling float 4.3 are both forced to float upward, press against the return port of the partition, and close the return port of the liquid collector; when the pressure drops to 35Kpa, the first-stage refueling float 4.1 falls, so that the exhaust hole 4.5 in the middle of the second-stage refueling float 4.3 opens to exhaust, and continues to exhaust; when the pressure is further reduced to 2Kpa, the second-stage refueling float 4.3 falls, and the return port at the bottom of the liquid collector opens, so that the inside of the oil tank is connected to the vent 1.1 through the liquid collector, and the oil vapor in the oil tank is sent to the carbon canister through the vent 1.1, and then released to the atmosphere after being filtered by the carbon canister. During the working process, when the oil is refueled to the rated volume of the oil tank, when the sum of the liquid buoyancy and the elastic force of the first spring 4.2 is greater than the weight of the float, the first spring 4.2 moves upward to block the exhaust hole 4.5, causing the refueling gun to jump, and the refueling is completed.
[0053] Slope exhaust assembly 6 working principle: At high pressure, the exhaust first-order float 6.1 and the exhaust second-order float are both forced to float upward, so that the exhaust second-order float rubber pad 6.4 fits tightly with the inclined slope of the flat hole at the bottom of the oil filling hole 2.10, closing the oil filling hole 2.10. When the pressure drops to 45Kpa, the exhaust first-order float 6.1 falls, pulling the exhaust second-order float (i.e. rubber pad 6.4) to deform, and initially opening a small opening for exhaust; when the pressure drops further, since the bottom of the oil filling hole 2.10 is an inclined slope, during the process of lowering the pressure, the exhaust second-order float is gradually pulled downward, and the oil filling hole 2.10 gradually opens, until the pressure drops to 10Kpa, the oil filling hole 2.10 is fully opened for exhaust. During operation, when the gasoline in the fuel tank shakes into the valve cavity, the second spring 6.5 moves upward, so that the float of the slope exhaust assembly blocks the upper oil filling hole 2.10, preventing the gasoline liquid from entering the exhaust hole and flowing into the carbon canister.
[0054] The refueling control valve assembly 5 does not open during refueling, limiting the flow rate to control the amount of refueling.
[0055] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
