[0046] As Figures 1 - 20 shown, a fuel pump assembly for a motorcycle includes a main fuel tank. The main fuel tank includes a snap-fitted pump core bracket 1 and a flange cover component 2, and a fuel pump core 3, a pressure regulating valve 4 and a filter screen 5 provided on the pump core bracket 1. An oil inlet pipe 6 is constructed on the upper part of the pump core bracket 1, and one side of the oil inlet pipe 6 communicates with the oil outlet 7 of the fuel pump core. A tee seat 8 is fixedly provided on the other side of the oil inlet pipe 6. An oil filling port 9, a pressure relief port 10 and an oil outlet 11 are opened in the tee seat 8.

A first oil outlet 13 is provided at the bottom of the receiving seat 12, and the oil outlet 11 communicates with the first oil outlet 13. An oil outlet pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the flange cover component 2. The upper end of the oil outlet pipe 14 communicates with the first oil outlet 13, and the lower end communicates with the pipeline of the engine.

[0048] A drain pipe 15 is vertically constructed on the pump core support 1. The upper end of the drain pipe 15 communicates with the pressure relief port 10. A injection pipe 16 is horizontally penetrated through the bottom of the oil receiving seat 12. An ejection channel 17 is formed in the injection pipe 16. The inner end of the injection pipe 16 is communicated with the lower end of the drain pipe 15. A jet nozzle 18 is clamped inside the injection pipe 16.

[0049] The fuel pump assembly further includes a secondary fuel tank arranged below the main fuel tank. The lower end of the injection pipe 16 is communicated with an ejection suction nozzle 19. The ejection suction nozzle 19 extends out of the lower end of the flange cover member 2 and is communicated with the oil outlet of the secondary fuel tank.

[0050] In the above technical solution, fuel is filtered through a filter screen and enters the pump core. The fuel pump core provides power for the fuel flow. The fuel passes through a pressure regulating valve, and the pressure regulating valve ensures the stability of the pipeline pressure. The fuel passes through a filter element for fine filtration to ensure the purity of the fuel delivered to the engine. The oil outlet pipe 14 is connected to the engine pipeline to output fuel and complete the fuel output of the fuel pump.

[0051] Basically, existing motorcycles do not carry a secondary fuel tank, and the volume of the main fuel tank of a motorcycle is often relatively small and cannot meet the demand for long endurance. If a secondary fuel tank is carried, another fuel pump is often required, especially when the secondary fuel tank is carried at a low position, and adding a fuel pump will inevitably increase the vehicle cost and occupy vehicle space.

[0052] In this solution, a drain pipe communicated with the pressure regulating valve is arranged on the main fuel tank. The lower end of the drain pipe is connected to the injection pipe. A jet nozzle is provided at the connection of the injection pipe. The lower end of the injection pipe is provided with an ejection suction nozzle connected to the oil outlet of the secondary fuel tank.

[0053] The fuel discharged from the pressure relief valve at the pressure valve enters the drain pipe. Under the action of the jet nozzle, the fuel flow rate increases and the pressure decreases, forming a low-pressure area, so that the fuel in the secondary fuel tank is in a high-pressure area. The fuel flows from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area to achieve the purpose of sucking fuel from the secondary fuel tank at a lower position to a higher position, thus solving the problem of fuel use when a motorcycle is equipped with only one fuel pump and the secondary fuel tank is carried at a low position, improving the fuel usage, reducing the cost of adding a fuel pump, and reducing the installation space.

[0054] Further, a jet nozzle seat 20 is butt-connected to the bottom of the drain pipe 15. A short pipe 21 is horizontally constructed at the lower end of the jet nozzle seat 20 and is clamped with the input end of the jet nozzle 18. In this technical solution, the jet nozzle seat 20 is used to connect and stabilize the drain pipe and the jet nozzle 18.

[0055] Further, a plurality of first support plates 22 are constructed at the lower end of the short pipe 21 to support against the flange cover member 2, and a second support plate 23 is constructed at the side portion of the short pipe 21 to support against the pump core bracket 1. In this technical solution, the arrangement of the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23 enables the jet nozzle seat 20 to be abutted against the flange cover member 2 and the pump core bracket 1, which is more stable and reliable.

[0056] Further, a second oil outlet 24 is formed at the outer end of the injection pipe 16. An umbrella valve bracket 25 is hingedly provided at the side portion of the oil receiving seat 12. An umbrella valve 26 is fitted at the outer end of the second oil outlet 24. The acting end of the umbrella valve bracket 25 is clamped to the outer end of the umbrella valve 26. In this technical solution, the cooperation between the umbrella valve 26 and the umbrella valve bracket 25 is used to control the flow rate of the injected fuel, and it has good oil and temperature resistance performance.

[0057] Further, a sealing shell 27 is provided on the pump core bracket 1 below the lower oil port 11. A filter cavity is formed inside the sealing shell 27. A filter element 28 is provided inside the filter cavity. A stepped step is formed on the oil receiving seat 12. The lower end of the sealing shell 27 and the filter element 28 are abutted against the stepped step. In this technical solution, the filter element 28 is used to finely filter the fuel to make the fuel purer for the engine to use.

[0058] Further, at least two symmetric clamping blocks 29 are constructed on the side wall of the three-way seat 8. A pressure regulating valve buckle 30 is provided outside the pressure regulating valve 4. A bayonet 31 for snap-connecting with the clamping block 29 is formed on the pressure regulating valve buckle 30. In this technical solution, the pressure regulating valve buckle 30 is used to fix the pressure regulating valve 4 on the three-way seat 8 to prevent the pressure regulating valve 4 from coming off.

[0059] Further, an oil return nozzle 32 is penetrated through the flange cover member 2. The lower end of the oil return nozzle 32 is communicated with the oil inlet of the auxiliary fuel tank. A jack 33 is opened on the pump core bracket 1. An oil return pipe 34 is inserted into the jack 33. The lower end of the oil return pipe 34 is docked with the upper end of the oil return nozzle 32. In this technical solution, when the amount of fuel in the main fuel tank is relatively large and higher than the upper surface of the oil return pipe, the oil return pipe discharges the fuel inhaled into the main fuel tank back to the auxiliary fuel tank through the oil return nozzle, avoiding the overflow of the main fuel tank due to continuous fuel inhalation.

[0060] Furthermore, the filter 5 is in an "L" shape and includes a first filter body arranged horizontally and a second filter body arranged vertically. A slot 35 is formed between the flange cover component 2, the fuel pump core 3 and the pump core bracket 1. The first filter body is clamped and arranged between the flange cover component 2 and the bottom of the fuel pump core 3. The second filter body is arranged on the slot 35. The first filter body is provided with a filter oil outlet 36 docked with the oil inlet of the fuel pump core 3. The side of the filter oil outlet 36 is provided with a slot 37 docked with a post 38 at the bottom of the fuel pump core 3. In this technical solution, the filter 5 is used to filter fuel. The filtered fuel is sucked into the fuel pump core 3 through the filter oil outlet 36. The slot 37 and the post 38 facilitate the positioning and installation between the fuel pump core 3 and the filter 5, as well as the connection stability.

[0061] Further, the pump core bracket 1 is provided with a pump core outer frame 39 which is covered on the outside of the fuel pump core 3, and a clamping block 40 is formed on the pump core outer frame 39 and the side wall of the sealing shell 27, and the lower end of the side wall of the clamping block 40 is inclined, and the upper end of the oil receiving seat 12 is extended upward on both sides to form a first clamping plate 41, and the two sides of the pump core outer frame 39 are formed with insertion openings 42, and the flange cover component 2 is extended upward to form a second clamping plate 43, and the second clamping plate 43 passes through the insertion opening 42 and is arranged on the outside of the fuel pump core 3, and the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 43 form a clamping interface 44 that cooperates with the clamping block 40. In this technical solution, the lower end of the side wall of the clamping block 40 is inclined, which can facilitate the assembly of the clamping interface 44 and the clamping block 40 to realize the clamping of the pump core bracket 1 and the flange cover component 2, and the setting of the insertion opening 42 can make the second clamping plate 43 stably clamped into the pump core outer frame 39, thereby improving the structural stability.

[0062] Furthermore, a fixing plate 45 is provided at the bottom of the flange cover component 2, a sealing groove 46 is formed on the outer side of the lower part of the flange cover component 2, a sealing gasket 47 is provided in the sealing groove 46, and a clamping protrusion 53 is provided on both sides of the sealing gasket 47 in the circumferential direction; a sensor assembly is provided on the pump core bracket 1, including a sensor 48 and a float; a ring-shaped socket is provided at the bottom of the flange cover component 2, and an oil pump positive electrode 49, an oil pump negative electrode 50, a sensor positive electrode 51 and a sensor negative electrode 52 are provided in the ring-shaped socket. In this technical solution, the sealing gasket 47 improves the sealing performance, and the clamping protrusion 53 improves the assembly stability of the sealing gasket 47; the sensor 48 and the float are used to measure the fuel quantity.

[0063] It should also be noted that the sealing ring 100 on each component can improve the sealing performance.

[0064] In this specific embodiment, aiming at the situation that the volume of the existing main fuel tank of a motorcycle is often relatively small and cannot meet the demand for long endurance, while mounting a secondary fuel tank often requires another fuel pump. Especially when the secondary fuel tank is mounted at a lower position, adding a fuel pump will inevitably increase the vehicle cost and occupy vehicle space. The above solution is to set a drainage pipe communicating with a pressure regulating valve on the main fuel tank. The lower end of the drainage pipe is connected to a jet pipe. A jet nozzle is provided at the connection on the jet pipe. The lower end of the jet pipe is provided with an ejector suction nozzle connected to the oil outlet of the secondary fuel tank. The fuel released at the pressure valve enters the drainage pipe. Under the action of the jet nozzle, the fuel flow rate increases and the pressure decreases, forming a low-pressure area, so that the fuel in the secondary fuel tank is in a high-pressure area. The fuel flows from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area to achieve the purpose of sucking fuel from the secondary fuel tank at a lower position to a higher position, thus solving the problem of fuel use of a motorcycle when only one fuel pump is installed and the secondary fuel tank is mounted at a lower position, improving the fuel usage, reducing the cost of adding a fuel pump, and reducing the installation space.
