[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an easy-to-install carbon canister suitable for mining trucks. The easy-to-install carbon canister suitable for mining trucks includes a guide assembly 100, a sealing assembly 200, and an adjustment assembly 300.

[0038] Specifically, the guide assembly 100 includes a tank 101 and a hose 102, with the hose 102 disposed at one end of the tank 101.

[0039] Gasoline vapor enters the tank 101 through the hose 102 and is adsorbed.

[0040] The sealing component 200 is disposed at one end of the guiding component 100 and includes an external threaded plate 201, a connecting line 202, and an internal threaded tube 203. The external threaded plate 201 is disposed outside the flexible tube 102, the connecting line 202 passes through and connects to one end of the external threaded plate 201, and the internal threaded tube 203 is sleeved on the outside of the external threaded plate 201.

[0041] The sealing assembly 200 is used to tightly seal the tank 101 and the hose 102.

[0042] Adjustment component 300 is disposed outside of enclosure component 200 and includes external gear 301 and internal gear 304. External gear 301 is sleeved outside internal threaded tube 203 and internal gear 304 is sleeved outside external gear 301.

[0043] Use the adjustment component 300 to tighten or loosen the hose 102.

[0044] Specifically, the tank body 101 is equipped with a solenoid valve 101a and a solenoid valve connector 101b. The solenoid valve 101a is located at one end of the tank body 101, and the solenoid valve connector 101b is located at one end of the solenoid valve 101a.

[0045] Solenoid valve 101a is used to return the absorbed fuel vapors to the intake manifold.

[0046] Specifically, the tank body 101 is also equipped with an inlet connector 101c and an outlet connector 101d, which are located at one end of the tank body 101. The solenoid valve 101a, the solenoid valve connector 101b, the inlet connector 101c, and the outlet connector 101d are located at the same end of the tank body 101.

[0047] The hose 102 is connected to the inlet connector 101c.

[0048] Specifically, there are multiple external threaded pieces 201, which together form an external threaded tube. The external threaded pieces 201 are provided with connecting holes H1, and the connecting line 202 passes through the connecting holes H1 on the external threaded pieces 201.

[0049] The connecting line 202 is elastic, ensuring that the threads are aligned when the external threaded pieces 201 are used together to form an external threaded tube. At the same time, it ensures that when the external threaded pieces 201 are removed, they can be spread out but do not interfere with each other or completely separate.

[0050] Specifically, the outer wall of the internally threaded tube 203 is provided with blocking teeth 203a and blocking rings 203b. The blocking teeth 203a are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the internally threaded tube 203 along the axial direction of the internally threaded tube 203, and the blocking rings 203b are arranged at both ends of the internally threaded tube 203.

[0051] The inner wall of the internally threaded tube 203 is threaded. The internal thread is relatively short and together with the externally threaded plate 201, they form an externally threaded tube mating assembly.

[0052] Specifically, the externally threaded tube composed of the externally threaded plate 201 has a cylindrical outer wall and a frustum-shaped inner wall, with a connecting hole H1 located at one end of the externally threaded plate 201.

[0053] The connecting hole H1 is located at the thinner end of the external threaded plate 201, so that as the external threaded tube 203 is screwed closer to the connecting hole H1 end, the top of the external threaded tube will become tighter and tighter.

[0054] Because the internal thread of the internal threaded tube 203 is relatively short and there is a certain gap between the threads, when the internal threaded tube 203 is near the connection hole H1, the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201 will be subjected to less force, and the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201 will not exert much pressure on the hose 102.

[0055] As the internal threaded tube 203 is screwed closer to the external threaded tube from the end of the connecting hole H1, the internal threaded tube 203 gets closer and closer to the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201. The force on the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201 will increase, which will put greater pressure on the hose 102, thereby pressing the hose 102 tightly onto the inlet connector 101c.

[0056] During use, gasoline vapor enters the tank 101 through the hose 102 and is absorbed. The sealing assembly 200 is used to tightly seal the tank 101 and the hose 102. The adjusting assembly 300 is used to tighten or loosen the hose 102.

[0057] The connecting hole H1 is located at the thinner end of the external threaded plate 201, so that as the external threaded tube 203 is screwed closer to the connecting hole H1 end, the top of the external threaded tube will become tighter and tighter.

[0058] The inner wall of the internally threaded tube 203 is threaded. The internal thread is relatively short and together with the externally threaded plate 201, they form an externally threaded tube.

[0059] As the internal threaded tube 203 is screwed closer to the external threaded tube from the end of the connecting hole H1, the internal threaded tube 203 gets closer and closer to the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201. The force on the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201 will increase, which will put greater pressure on the hose 102, thereby pressing the hose 102 tightly onto the inlet connector 101c.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Reference Figures 1-9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0062] Specifically, the external gear 301 is a helical gear. The external gear 301 is provided with an inner countersunk hole K1 and an outer countersunk hole K2. The outer countersunk hole K2 is located between two teeth on the outer wall of the external gear 301, and the inner countersunk hole K1 is located on the inner wall of the external gear 301. The outer countersunk hole K2 and the inner countersunk hole K1 are connected.

[0063] The helical gear is used to convert the reciprocating motion along the axial direction of the inlet connector 101c into radial rotational motion, and the two countersunk holes are used to cooperate with other parts to allow the internally threaded tube 203 to rotate in one direction.

[0064] Specifically, the adjustment component 300 also includes a blocking component 302, which is disposed inside the inner countersunk hole K1. The blocking component 302 includes a notched post 302a and a limiting spring 302b. The notched post 302a cooperates with the inner countersunk hole K1, and one end of the limiting spring 302b is fixedly connected to the notched post 302a, while the other end of the limiting spring 302b is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner countersunk hole K1.

[0065] The corner-cut post 302a fits the outer wall of the internally threaded tube 203.

[0066] The blocking member 302 is located in the countersunk hole K1 of the external gear 301 and rotates with the external gear 301. However, due to the presence of the notched post 302a, when the blocking member 302 rotates forward, it will drive the blocking ring 203b of the internal thread tube 203 to rotate. When the blocking member 302 rotates in reverse, the blocking teeth 203a of the internal thread tube 203 will press the notched post 302a back into the countersunk hole K1.

[0067] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 300 also includes a reversing component 303, which is disposed inside the countersunk hole K2. The reversing component 303 includes a connecting post 303a and a reversing post 303b. One end of the connecting post 303a is fixedly connected to the corner post 302a, and the other end of the connecting post 303a is fixedly connected to the reversing post 303b.

[0068] The reversing component 303 is used to adjust the orientation of the missing corner of the notched post 302a, thereby changing the direction in which the internally threaded tube 203 can rotate.

[0069] Specifically, the limiting spring 302b is sleeved on the outside of the connecting post 303a; the connecting post 303a passes through the inner countersunk hole K1 and the outer countersunk hole K2. The inner countersunk hole K1 is circular and the outer countersunk hole K2 is oval. The length of the reversing post 303b is between the short side and the long side of the outer countersunk hole K2.

[0070] The external gear 301 is also provided with a lower groove K3, which is located on the waist of the countersunk hole K2.

[0071] The countersunk hole K2 is used to limit the reversing column 303b. The reversing column 303b has two placement methods that are 180 degrees apart in the countersunk hole K2, which correspond to the two directions in which the internal thread tube 203 can rotate. The lower groove K3 makes it easy to change the placement method of the reversing column 303b.

[0072] The internal gear 304 is sleeved on the outside of the external gear 301. The internal gear 304 has helical teeth inside, which cooperate with the helical teeth of the external gear 301.

[0073] The internal gear 304 is divided into two halves with two contact surfaces: a mating area and an operating area. The mating area is rotatably connected by a connecting column, and the operating area consists of two half-frames for easy movement of the internal gear 304.

[0074] The internal gear 304 is used to rotate the external gear 301, and at the same time, it converts the reciprocating motion of the internal gear 304 along the axial direction of the inlet joint 101c into the radial circular motion of the external gear 301 along the inlet joint 101c.

[0075] When in use, first, attach the sealing component 200 and the adjusting component 300 to the hose 102, then attach the end of the hose 102 to the inlet connector 101c. Next, attach the external threaded plate 201 to the overlapping part of the hose 102 and the inlet connector 101c. Then, hold the operating part of the internal gear 304 or, if the scene is more compact or inconvenient, use a clamp, long rod, etc. to fix and connect the operating part of the internal gear 304. At this time, the internal gear 304 is moved back and forth along the axial direction of the inlet connector 101c.

[0076] Due to the engagement of the two helical teeth and the effect of the notched column 302a, the external gear 301 will make a unidirectional circular motion along the radial direction of the inlet connector 101c.

[0077] After repeated cycles, the internal threaded tube 203 moves upward along the external threaded plate 201 from near the connection hole H1 until the thicker end of the external threaded plate 201 is pressed against the hose 102.

[0078] At this point, the sealing is complete, and the hose 102 and the inlet connector 101c are tightly connected. The internal gear 304 can be opened and removed. To separate the hose 102 and the inlet connector 101c, simply lift the reversing column 303b, rotate it 180 degrees, and lower it. Then, use the internal gear 304 to engage the external gear 301, and repeatedly pull the internal gear 304 to unlock it.

[0079] This operation requires no extra space or room for wrench movement. As long as the charcoal canister can fit, and the operation is performed within the space where the canister and hose connect, the connection between the canister and hose can be easily installed and removed, greatly expanding the operating range. At the same time, the operation is simple and can save a lot of manpower and time.

[0080] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
