[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] The following combination Figures 1-17 The valve structure, main cover unit and capless refueling device of the present invention are described. The capless refueling device comprises a secondary gate unit and a main cover unit.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 6 According to the present invention, a valve structure is provided for a capless refueling device, comprising: a lower cover 810; an upper cover 820, the upper cover 820 is detachably connected to the lower cover 810, and the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810 cooperate to form a pressure relief channel; a valve body assembly 830, which is detachably arranged between the lower cover 810 and the upper cover 820, and the valve body assembly 830 is used to isolate the communication between the pressure inlet end and the pressure relief end of the pressure relief channel, and the valve body assembly 830 has a closed state and a pressure relief state; when When the valve body assembly 830 is in a closed state, the external pressure applied to the valve body assembly 830 is less than a preset threshold value, and the valve body assembly 830 abuts against the lower cover 810 to cut off the communication between the pressure inlet end and the pressure relief end of the pressure relief channel; when the external pressure applied to the valve body assembly 830 is greater than the preset threshold value, the valve body assembly 830 separates from the lower cover 810, and the valve body assembly 830 is in a pressure relief state, and the valve body assembly 830 releases the isolation between the relative pressure inlet end and the pressure relief end of the pressure relief channel.

[0060] The valve structure provided by the present invention adopts an upper structure, wherein the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810 are detachably connected, and the valve body assembly 830 is detachably arranged between the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810, which means that the three are a split structure. This not only ensures the movement and force-bearing function of the valve structure and improves manufacturing precision, but also controls the size of the structure to be reduced, making the manufacturing difficulty lower and transport and installation feasible, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing costs and having good practical application value and promotion value. The pressure relief channel in the valve structure, when the valve structure is subjected to pressure exceeding a preset threshold, the valve body assembly 830 automatically enters a pressure relief state. The valve body assembly 830 will switch from a closed state to a pressure relief state, thereby releasing excess pressure. The automatic response mechanism is beneficial to prevent the capless refueling device from being damaged or dangerous when the pressure is too high, provides safety protection, and facilitates the adjustment and flexible operation of the valve structure. It is rich in functions, rational in design, and easy to operate.

[0061] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 7 According to the present invention, a main cover unit is also provided, including a main cover shell 600 and the above-mentioned valve structure, the main cover shell 600 is provided with a main cover channel 610, the main cover shell 600 is provided with a main shaft 530 and a main cover spring 540, the main cover spring 540 is sleeved on the main shaft 530, the lower cover 810 of the valve structure is rotatably connected to the main shaft 530, and the main cover spring 540 is used to drive the valve structure to rotate to close the preset position of the main cover channel 610.

[0062] With the above structure, the main cover spring 540 is sleeved on the main shaft 530 and connected to the valve structure. The elastic design of the above structure can reduce mechanical impact and wear, and extend the life of the valve structure. The automatic closing function can also reduce the mechanical loss caused by the valve being open for a long time, and ensure that the main cover channel 610 can close automatically when not needed, thereby increasing safety and reliability; through the drive of the main cover spring 540, it can be ensured that the valve structure is fitted to the preset position with appropriate pressure, thereby enhancing the sealing effect; reducing the user's operating burden and improving ease of use.

[0063] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 7In the embodiment of the present invention, the lower cover 810 is provided with a lower chamber 811, and the upper cover 820 is provided with an upper chamber 821. The lower cover 810 and the upper cover 820 are detachably nested and fixed, and the lower chamber 811 and the upper chamber 821 cooperate to form a valve body chamber. The valve body assembly 830 is movably installed in the valve body chamber. There is a distance between the two opposite end surfaces of the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810 to form a pressure relief gap. The lower cover 810 is provided with a pressure inlet hole 812, which passes through the bottom wall of the lower chamber 811. The pressure relief gap The pressure gap, the valve body chamber and the pressure inlet hole 812 are connected in sequence to form a pressure relief channel; wherein, when the valve body assembly 830 is in a closed state, the external pressure applied to the valve body assembly 830 is less than the preset threshold value, the valve body assembly 830 abuts against the bottom wall of the lower chamber 811, and blocks the pressure inlet hole 812; when the external pressure applied to the valve body assembly 830 is greater than the preset threshold value, the valve body assembly 830 is separated from the bottom wall of the lower chamber 811, the valve body assembly 830 avoids the pressure inlet hole 812, and the valve body assembly 830 is in a pressure relief state.

[0064] With the above structure, under normal operating conditions, when the external pressure applied to the valve body assembly 830 is less than a preset threshold, the valve body assembly 830 abuts against the bottom wall of the lower chamber 811, blocking the pressure inlet hole 812, thereby preventing pressure from leaking from the pressure inlet hole 812. At this time, the valve is in a closed state, ensuring the stability of the valve structure under normal pressure. When the external pressure exceeds the preset threshold, the valve body assembly 830 will separate from the bottom wall of the lower chamber 811, exposing the pressure inlet hole 812. At this time, the valve is in a pressure relief state. At this time, the pressure can be released through the pressure relief channel formed by the pressure inlet hole 812, the valve body chamber, and the pressure relief gap, reducing the pressure inside the main cover unit, helping to prevent damage caused by overpressure, and controlling and releasing the pressure. The automated adjustment mechanism reduces the need for manual intervention and improves safety and reliability.

[0065] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, the valve body assembly 830 includes: a valve body main body 831, the valve body main body 831 is movably arranged in the valve body chamber, the valve body main body 831 is provided with a valve body sealing layer 832, the cross-sectional area of ​​the valve body sealing layer 832 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the pressure inlet hole 812, so as to seal the pressure inlet hole 812; a valve body reset member 833, one end of the valve body reset member 833 is installed on the upper cover, and the other end of the valve body reset member 833 is installed on the valve body main body 831, and the valve body reset member 833 is used to drive the valve body main body 831 to abut against the bottom wall of the valve body chamber.

[0066] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the valve body 831 is provided with a valve body sealing layer 832, whose cross-sectional area is larger than that of the pressure inlet hole 812, ensuring that when the valve body 831 moves to the closed position, the valve body sealing layer 832 can completely cover and seal the pressure inlet hole 812, maintaining normal pressure operation inside the main cover unit, and ensuring safety and stability; the valve body reset member 833 is connected to both ends of the valve body 831, and can drive the valve body 831 to abut against the bottom wall of the valve body chamber. The design purpose is to automatically reset the valve body 831 after it is opened, so that the valve body 831 returns to its initial closed position, increasing the stability of the entire valve structure and preventing the valve body 831 from becoming unstable due to external forces or pressure changes. In addition, the automatic reset feature also plays a positive role in safety, ensuring that the valve body can close automatically in certain unexpected situations.

[0067] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment of the present invention, the valve body 831 is provided with a mounting cavity 8311, and the bottom wall of the upper chamber 821 is provided with a mounting protrusion 8211. The valve body reset member 833 is a spring, one end of which abuts the mounting cavity 8311, and the other end of which is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 8211. Through this arrangement, the spring can generate an elastic force when the valve body 831 moves. The elastic force can push the valve body 831 to automatically return to the initial closed position, ensuring that the valve body 831 is quickly reset after the closing operation, having better automation capabilities during operation, and ensuring the sealing effect of the pressure inlet hole 812. The design of the entire structure provides stable force transmission and reset effects, helping to ensure the stability and reliability of the valve body 831 during use. At the same time, the design and application of the spring can reduce friction and impact between the valve body 831 and other components, thereby extending the service life of the valve body assembly 830.

[0068] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In the embodiment of the present invention, the valve body sealing layer 832 includes a sealing main body 8321 and an installation column 8322 connected to the sealing main body 8321, and the installation column 8322 has a clamping section and a limiting section; the bottom wall of the installation cavity 8311 is provided with a mounting hole, and the installation column 8322 is passed through the mounting hole, wherein the clamping section corresponds to the mounting hole, and the limiting section is located inside the installation cavity 8311, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting section is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting hole. The lower end surface of the limiting section abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall of the installation cavity 8311 to limit the valve body sealing layer 832 from being separated from the valve body main body 831, ensuring the stable installation of the valve body sealing layer 832 on the valve body, thereby effectively realizing the sealing function and preventing leakage; the design of the installation column 8322 and the limiting section improves the fixation of the valve body sealing layer 832 on the valve body main body 831, and enhances the overall structural strength and durability of the entire valve structure.

[0069] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, the valve body sealing layer 832 is a resilient rubber seal that can adapt to surface irregularities of the valve body 831, effectively improving the sealing performance, durability, and adaptability of the valve structure. Of course, the valve body sealing layer 832 can also be made of other materials, which are not limited here. Furthermore, the valve body reset member 833 can also be an elastic sheet, elastic column, etc., which are not limited here.

[0070] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper cover 820 is provided with a first annular plug-in boss 822, which is arranged around the upper chamber 821, and a first plug-in gap is provided between the outer wall of the first plug-in boss 822 and the outer wall of the upper cover 820, and an assembly protrusion 823 is provided on the outer wall of the first plug-in boss 822, and the assembly protrusion 823 is located in the first plug-in gap; the lower cover 810 is provided with a second annular plug-in boss 813, which is arranged around the lower chamber 811, and the outer wall of the second plug-in boss 813 is aligned with the lower chamber. 811, a second plug-in gap is provided between the second plug-in boss 813 and the assembly arm 814, and an assembly hole 8141 is provided on the assembly arm 814; wherein, the first plug-in boss 822 is inserted in the second plug-in gap, and there is a distance between the end face of the first plug-in boss 822 and the bottom wall of the lower cover 810, the second plug-in boss 813 is arranged corresponding to the second plug-in gap, and the assembly arm 814 is inserted in the second plug-in gap, and the assembly hole 8141 is snap-fitted with the assembly protrusion 823 to limit the back-to-back movement of the lower cover 810 and the upper cover 820 in the first direction.

[0071] Through the above structure, the first plug-in boss 822 is inserted into the second plug-in gap, and the assembly arm 814 is also inserted into the second plug-in gap. The embedded structure can ensure a firm connection between the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall structure; the assembly hole 8141 and the assembly protrusion 823 are snap-fitted with each other. This design can limit the back movement between the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810 in the first direction. That is to say, the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810 will not detach or move in the connection direction, thereby ensuring the integrity of the structure; the above structure simplifies the assembly process of the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810, and it is only necessary to match the first plug-in boss 822 and the second plug-in boss 813, and engage the assembly hole 8141 with the assembly protrusion 823 to complete the assembly, which can improve the assembly efficiency; at the same time, the first plug-in boss 822 surrounds the upper chamber 821, and the second plug-in boss 813 surrounds the lower chamber 811, and through clearance fit, it helps to form a good seal between the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810.

[0072] Specifically, refer to Figures 3 to 6 In this embodiment of the present invention, an arc-shaped push-in concave surface 824 is provided on one end of the upper cover 820 facing away from the lower cover 810. Push-in concave surface 824 is used to mate with the fuel gun and position the fuel gun. Through this arrangement, the design of push-in concave surface 824 enables the fuel gun to mate with the upper cover 820, ensuring that the fuel gun can be correctly inserted and connected to the fuel tank, thereby improving the smoothness and efficiency of the refueling operation. Push-in concave surface 824 not only allows the fuel gun to fit into the correct position but also allows for proper positioning of the fuel gun. The shape and position of push-in concave surface 824 allow the fuel gun to be accurately positioned on the upper cover 820, ensuring that the fuel port and fuel gun are correctly connected during refueling and avoiding operational errors. With push-in concave surface 824, the refueling operation becomes more convenient and simple. Simply inserting the fuel gun into the position where push-in concave surface 824 is located completes correct positioning and connection without the need for additional adjustments or operations, thereby improving the convenience of the refueling process and the user experience.

[0073] Specifically, refer to Figures 3 to 6In an embodiment of the present invention, the main cover shell 600 is provided with a first opening 630 and a second opening 640, the main shaft 530 has a limiting head and a mounting shaft portion connected to the limiting head, the mounting shaft portion is plugged into the main cover shell 600, and the limiting head is located in the first opening 630, and the end of the mounting shaft portion away from the limiting head is located in the second opening 640; wherein, the main cover shell 600 is provided with a stopping structure 650, the stopping structure 650 is used to limit the movement of the main shaft 530 relative to the main cover shell 600, so that the main shaft 530 can be accurately installed and positioned on the main cover shell 600, ensuring the correct assembly and position of the main shaft 530; after installation, the main shaft 530 will not shift or loosen under the action of the stopping structure 650, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall assembly.

[0074] It should be noted that the above-mentioned stop structure 650 is a swingable elastic stop arm, which is located in the first opening 630. Through the swing of the elastic stop arm, the elastic stop arm can abut against or disengage from the limiting head of the main shaft 530; the above-mentioned main cover spring 540 is a torsion spring.

[0075] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 3 to 6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a main cover sealing layer 550 is disposed between the upper cover 820 and the lower cover 810. When the valve structure closes the main cover passage 610, the main cover sealing layer 550 is configured to seal the valve structure and the main cover passage 610. With this structure, when the valve structure closes the main cover passage 610, the main cover sealing layer 550 acts as a sealing device, ensuring the tightness of the main cover passage 610 after the valve structure is closed, improving reliability and suppressing the leakage of fuel vapor out of the fuel tank. Furthermore, the main cover sealing layer 550 not only prevents leakage but also reduces friction and wear between the valve structure and the main cover passage 610, thereby improving durability, extending service life, and reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements.

[0076] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the valve structure rotates away from the limiting boss 620, the main cover channel 610 is opened; when the valve structure rotates toward the limiting boss 620, the main cover sealing layer 550 abuts against the limiting boss 620 to close the main cover channel 610, thereby achieving sealing, simple operation, and reliability. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the main cover sealing layer 550 is sleeved between the lower cover 810 and the upper cover 820, which can achieve a more compact structural design, help reduce the overall size of the valve structure, save space, and be suitable for various application scenarios; the installation and maintenance of the valve structure are simpler, and the main cover sealing layer 550 can be easily disassembled and replaced without tedious operating steps, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0077] Specifically, refer to Figures 3 to 6In the embodiment of the present invention, an assembly groove 815 and a support end surface 816 are provided on the end of the lower cover 810 facing the upper cover 820. The assembly groove 815 and the support end surface 816 surround the second plug-in boss 813 in sequence from the inside to the outside. A limiting end surface 825 is provided on the end of the upper cover 820 facing the lower cover 810. The support end surface 816 and the assembly groove 815 are both spaced apart from the limiting end surface 825, and the assembly groove 815 and the limiting end surface 825 are correspondingly arranged; wherein, the main cover sealing layer 550 has an assembly section 551 and a sealing section 552 connected to the assembly section 551. The assembly section 551 is sleeved on the second plug-in boss 813, and the assembly section 551 is accommodated in the assembly groove 815. The sealing section 552 is in contact with the support end surface 816. The distance between the limiting end surface 825 and the upper edge of the side wall of the assembly groove 815 is less than the thickness of the assembly section 551.

[0078] With the above structure, the assembly section 551 of the main cover sealing layer 550 is sleeved on the second plug-in boss 813 and accommodated in the assembly groove 815, and the sealing section 552 is attached to the support end face 816. The above structural design provides high sealing performance, ensures good fit and effective sealing after assembly, and avoids leakage of fluid or gas; the fit of the sealing section 552 and the sleeve of the assembly section 551 enable the main cover sealing layer 550 to maintain a stable and precise positioning in the assembly groove 815, enhance the reliability of the valve structure, and reduce problems that may occur due to inaccurate assembly; because the assembly section 551 is accommodated in the assembly groove 815, the main cover sealing layer 550 is not easily affected by external forces during operation, thereby enhancing its durability and service life; the entire structure is more compact, saves space, is suitable for various application scenarios, and the installation process is simple and convenient. During maintenance, due to the clear structure, it is also easier to disassemble and replace the main cover sealing layer 550, which also protects the interior of the main cover unit from the influence of the external environment and improves stability and durability.

[0079] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, the main cover sealing layer 550 is a sealing rubber gasket. Sealing materials typically exhibit excellent elasticity and durability, maintaining their sealing properties over extended periods without becoming susceptible to damage or aging. Furthermore, the sealing rubber gasket exhibits corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for sealing requirements in a variety of environments and operating conditions. Therefore, using a sealing rubber gasket as the primary sealing layer effectively ensures the sealing of the main cover channel 610 and the valve structure, improving reliability.

[0080] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 8 and Figure 9In an embodiment of the present invention, the main cover unit further includes a flow deflector 700. The flow deflector 700 is connected to the main cover housing 600 and is provided with a flow guide channel 710. The flow guide channel 710 communicates with the main cover channel 610 to form a main cover chamber. The opposite ends of the main cover chamber are respectively a second inlet and a second outlet. The main cover chamber is used to guide the fueling gun into refueling and limit the insertion stroke of the fueling gun. It should be noted that the second inlet is an opening at one end of the main cover channel 610 of the main cover housing 600, and the second outlet is an opening at the other end of the flow deflector 700 opposite the flow guide channel 710.

[0081] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 2 to 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, the main cover unit is provided with a gas circulation structure, which runs through the interior and exterior of the main cover chamber; the gas circulation structure includes a first gas circulation port 910 and a second gas circulation port 920. The first gas circulation port 910 is opened between the side wall of the main cover shell 600 and the deflector 700, and the second gas circulation port 920 is opened on the other opposite side wall of the main cover shell 600. This further fully regulates the pressure, can more evenly distribute the gas flow, reduce possible local gas pressure or temperature changes, thereby optimizing the gas circulation structure and improving flexibility, stability and safety.

[0082] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the valve structure closes the main cover chamber at a position higher than the position of the gas circulation structure on the main cover housing 600. When the main cover chamber needs to be closed, the valve structure effectively prevents gas from leaking from the main cover chamber to the external environment, helping to maintain the gas pressure and composition within the main cover chamber stable. This can also reduce interference with the gas circulation structure from the valve structure. When the valve structure requires operation or maintenance, it will not affect the gas circulation structure, ensuring normal operation.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figures 2 to 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a main cover sealing ring 560 is sleeved on the outer wall of the main cover housing 600. In a first direction, the main cover sealing ring 560 is positioned on the main cover housing 600 above the position where the valve structure closes the main cover chamber. This arrangement allows the main cover sealing ring 560 to be positioned higher when the main cover passage 610, i.e., the main cover chamber, is closed. This helps improve the sealing performance between the fuel filler pipe and the main cover housing 600, effectively preventing gas or liquid from leaking from the main cover chamber to the external environment, maintaining airtightness, and reducing the risk of damage or accidental destruction of the main cover sealing ring 560.

[0084] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner sidewall of the main cover housing 600 is provided with a first annular step 661, a second annular step 662, and a third annular step 663. In a first direction, the first annular step 661, the second annular step 662, and the third annular step 663 form a stepped structure that descends sequentially from the outside to the inside. The centerline of the first annular step 661 coincides with the centerline of the main cover chamber, while the second annular step 662 and the third annular step 663 are both offset from the centerline of the main cover chamber. This structure allows one side of the stepped structure to be wider than the other side, thereby providing a mounting position for the main shaft 530 and the main cover spring 540 and preventing them from being blocked and damaged, thus providing a protective effect.

[0085] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the deflector 700 is provided with a guide structure 720 and a limiting structure 730. The guide structure 720 is located in the guide channel 710. The guide structure 720 is used to guide the insertion of the refueling gun. The limiting structure 730 is located in the guide channel 710. The upper end surface of the limiting structure 730 and the upper end surface of the insertion end of the guide channel 710 on the deflector 700 have an avoidance spacing; wherein, the refueling gun is guided to a position abutting against the limiting structure 730 by the guide structure 720 to limit the insertion stroke of the refueling gun, thereby preventing damage to the deflector 700 or the refueling gun, so as to facilitate the diversion of oil and ensure the accuracy and safety of the refueling operation.

[0086] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide structure 720 is a guide boss. A guide arc surface 721 is provided on a side wall of the guide boss facing the center of the guide channel 710. The distance between the guide arc surface 721 and the inner side wall of the deflector 700 gradually increases from the insertion end of the guide channel 710 to the outlet end of the guide channel 710. Through the above arrangement, the function of the guide arc surface 721 is to provide a guiding surface when the fuel gun is inserted, ensuring that the fuel gun can be accurately inserted into the guide channel 710; and the distance between the guide arc surface 721 on the guide boss and the inner side wall of the deflector 700 gradually increases from the insertion end to the outlet end of the guide channel 710, in order to gradually relax the restrictions on the insertion angle and position of the fuel gun during the insertion process, ensuring that the fuel gun can be smoothly inserted into the guide channel 710.

[0087] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9In this embodiment of the present invention, a concave stopper step 731 is provided on a side wall of the stopper structure 730, facing the center of the flow guide channel 710. When the fueling nozzle is inserted, it abuts against the stopper step 731, providing a reference point or structure to limit the insertion depth, ensuring that the fueling nozzle is inserted into the correct position in the flow guide channel 710. This structure is simple, stable, and reliable.

[0088] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the embodiment of the present invention, the lowest position of the guide arc surface 721 is aligned with the lowest position of the limit step 731, ensuring the maximum insertion depth of the fuel gun during insertion, which can simplify the operation process and make it easier for refueling personnel to understand and master the correct insertion depth during use, reducing the possibility of operational errors, and helping to ensure a good connection between the fuel gun and the guide channel 710 to avoid leakage or other safety hazards.

[0089] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment of the present invention, the limiting structure 730 is a limiting boss 620, which is arranged along the length of the deflector 700. The upper end surface of the limiting boss 620 is spaced apart from the upper end surface of the deflector 700 corresponding to the insertion end of the guide channel 710. The lower end surface of the limiting boss 620 extends to the lower end surface of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet end of the guide channel 710. This spacing provides sufficient space for the refueling gun to be inserted smoothly into the guide channel 710 without obstruction, ensuring smooth refueling operations. Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, multiple limiting structures 730 are provided, and these multiple limiting structures 730 are spaced apart and arranged relative to each other to improve the stability of the limiting structure. Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the guide structure 720 is located between two adjacent limiting structures 730, further improving the stability of the limiting structure, effectively optimizing the refueling process and improving the safety and efficiency of the operation. Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the inner diameter of the flow deflector 700 gradually decreases along a first direction from its insertion end to its outlet end. With this structure, the gradually decreasing inner diameter of the flow deflector 700 restricts and guides the flow of oil within the flow deflector 700, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the fluid.

[0090] It is also understandable that, with reference to Figure 8 and Figure 9In an embodiment of the present invention, the flow guide 700 is further provided with a flow-disrupting structure 740. The flow-disrupting structure 740 is located within the flow-distributing channel 710 and is used to slow down the outflow velocity of the oil at the outlet of the flow-distributing channel 710. The flow-disrupting structure 740 is provided on the inner wall of the flow-distributing channel 710 along the length of the flow guide 700. With this structure, the presence of the flow-disrupting structure 740 blocks the oil as it exits, thereby slowing down the velocity of the fluid passing through the outlet of the flow-distributing channel 710. This ensures a more stable and controllable flow of the fluid near the outlet, effectively reducing splashing and splattering during fluid outflow, helping to reduce energy consumption and fluid waste, and aligning with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0091] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment of the present invention, the spoiler structure 740 is a convex spoiler rib connected to the deflector 700. The rib protrudes toward the centerline of the flow guide channel 710. This configuration, by directly connecting the rib to the deflector 700 and protruding toward the centerline, enhances the stability and rigidity of the deflector 700, reduces vibration and deformation, and makes maintenance and cleaning more convenient, reducing the workload and time costs of maintenance personnel, thereby improving overall economic efficiency and sustainability.

[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, a gap exists between the lower end surface of the spoiler rib and the lower end surface of the outlet of the corresponding diversion channel 710 on the deflector 700. This allows the oil to converge within this gap and flow steadily into the fuel tank after being acted upon by the spoiler rib before entering the fuel tank. Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, a side wall of the spoiler rib facing the centerline of the diversion channel 710 is parallel to the centerline of the diversion channel 710, resulting in a simple structure and ease of manufacture.

[0093] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the spoiler rib and the deflector 700 are an integrated structure, and the spoiler rib can be directly manufactured as a part of the deflector 700, which simplifies the manufacturing and installation process, reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, and saves additional materials and manufacturing costs.

[0094] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple groups of flow-disturbing structures 740, which are spaced apart on the inner wall of the guide channel 710, helping to disperse the pressure of the oil fluid, improve energy efficiency, and improve flow stability and controllability.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the flow guide channel 710 includes a first straight section 711, an inclined guide section 712, and a second straight section 713. The first straight section 711, the inclined guide section 712, and the second straight section 713 are sequentially arranged along the length of the flow guide 700. Through this structure, the first straight section 711 can guide the fluid into the flow guide channel 710, the inclined guide section 712 can guide the fluid downstream and accelerate the flow velocity of the fluid, and the second straight section 713 is used to stabilize the flow of the fluid, thereby forming a stable flow state within the flow guide 700.

[0096] It is also understandable that, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, an elastic positioning structure 750 is provided on the outer wall of the deflector 700. This elastic positioning structure 750 is used to abut against the fuel filler pipe to limit the relative installation position of the deflector 700 and the fuel filler pipe. The elastic positioning structure 750 can follow the movement of the deflector 700 and adaptively adjust its relative angle to the outer wall of the deflector 700. During installation, the deflector 700 is mounted on the fuel filler pipe. The elastic deformation and repositioning of the elastic positioning structure 750 restrict the final installation position of the deflector 700, reducing the difficulty and complexity of the installation process between the deflector 700 and the fuel filler pipe, making installation easier and more efficient. In some cases, for example, the elasticity of the elastic positioning structure 750 allows a small-diameter fuel filler pipe to expand in diameter, accommodating a variety of fuel filler pipe sizes.

[0097] It should be noted that the above-mentioned small-diameter fuel filler pipe can also be expanded in diameter. It can be understood that the relevant fuel filler pipe is composed of two parts, a large diameter and a small diameter. The large diameter part and the small diameter part need to be welded and fixed, and the elastic positioning structure 750 is used for setting. Therefore, the small diameter part of the fuel filler pipe can be expanded to a size with a slope close to that of the large diameter part. Therefore, the large diameter part and the expanded small diameter part of the fuel filler pipe do not need to be welded, and can be processed and manufactured using a bobbin, thereby reducing the overall cost.

[0098] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic positioning structure 750 includes an elastic positioning member, which is arranged on the outer wall of the deflector 700 along a first direction, and there is a deformation distance between the elastic positioning member and the outer wall of the deflector 700. When the elastic positioning member is subjected to an external force, the elastic positioning member tends to fit into the outer wall of the deflector 700, which can ensure that the refueling pipe and the deflector 700 maintain a fixed position during installation, prevent accidental movement, and improve safety.

[0099] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic positioning member includes a connecting section 751 and a positioning section 752. One end of the connecting section 751 is connected to the outer wall of the deflector 700, and the other opposite end of the connecting section 751 is connected to the positioning section 752. The connecting section 751 is tilted relative to the center line of the guide channel 710, and the positioning section 752 abuts against the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe to limit the relative installation position of the deflector 700 and the fuel filler pipe. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the combination of the connecting section 751 and the positioning section 752 reduces the complexity of the elastic positioning member and facilitates manufacturing. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic positioning member is an elastic plate body integrally formed with the deflector 700, which simplifies the manufacturing and installation process, reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, and saves additional materials and manufacturing costs.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, there are two elastic positioning structures 750, which are spaced apart on the outer wall of the deflector 700, thereby improving the installation stability of the fuel filler pipe and the deflector 700. Of course, the number of the elastic positioning structures 750 is not limited herein and can also be one, three, etc.

[0101] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the deflector 700 is provided with a notch 760. The notch 760 is arranged along a first direction on the sidewall of the deflector 700. The notch 760 extends to and is in communication with the end face of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet of the guide channel 710. When the sidewall of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet of the guide channel 710 is subjected to an external force, the sidewalls of the deflector 700 on opposite sides of the notch 760 move toward each other, thereby reducing the outer diameter of the sidewall of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet of the guide channel 710. With this structure, the outer diameter of the sidewall of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet of the guide channel 710 can be elastically reduced, allowing the deflector 700 to adapt to smaller-diameter refueling pipes. Furthermore, the notch 760 not only acts as a constriction but also cooperates with the gas circulation structure to assist gas circulation. Therefore, gas can flow not only through the outlet of the guide channel 710 but also through the notch 760.

[0102] Specifically, refer to Figure 8In an embodiment of the present invention, the two side walls of the deflector 700 corresponding to the notch 760 have a first wall thickness 771, a second wall thickness 772 and a third wall thickness 773. The first wall thickness 771 is adjacent to the side of the notch 760, and the second wall thickness 772 is located between the first wall thickness 771 and the third wall thickness 773. The thicknesses of the first wall thickness 771 and the third wall thickness 773 are both smaller than the second wall thickness 772. The thickness of the first wall thickness 771 gradually increases toward the second wall thickness 772, and the thickness of the third wall thickness 773 gradually decreases away from the second wall thickness 772. When an external force acts on the side wall of the deflector 700 corresponding to the second wall thickness 772, the outer diameter of the side wall of the deflector 700 corresponding to the outlet end of the guide channel 710 is reduced. With the above structure, the gradient thickness design can provide appropriate elastic response under the action of external force. The outer diameter of the side wall of the guide channel 710 corresponding to the outlet end of the guide channel 710 on the guide 700 realizes elastic deformation, which is convenient for reducing the diameter, saving time and effort, and can adapt to some smaller diameter refueling pipes.

[0103] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the deflector 700 is provided with a gas guide concave edge, which passes through the inside and outside of the deflector channel 710 and is connected to the notch 760; the main cover shell 600 has a main cover gas concave edge, and the gas guide concave edge and the guide gas cooperate to form a first gas circulation port 910, so that the gas circulates inside and outside the deflector 700 and the main cover shell 600. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0104] It can also be understood, with reference to Figures , , , , , , and , that in an embodiment of the present invention, the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 are of a separate structure. When the force acting on the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 in the direction of separation is less than a predetermined force, the two remain in a mated state. However, when the force acting on the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 in the direction of separation is greater than the predetermined force, the two separate. With the above-described structure, the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 are configured as separate components. Therefore, if the fueling gun is inserted with incorrect force, the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 separate. When the fueling gun is subjected to vibration or external forces, the fueling gun stops discharging or refueling. Therefore, it can be understood that the separation of the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 serves as a warning and improves safety. Furthermore, the separate structure facilitates the replacement of the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 with corresponding sizes, improving adaptability and flexibility.

[0105] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9In this embodiment of the present invention, the main cover housing 600 and the deflector 700 are detachably connected via a connecting structure, allowing the device to be assembled and disassembled as needed, thereby increasing flexibility and making it easier to adapt to different work scenarios or needs. The deflector 700 or main cover housing 600 can be replaced with different types or sizes as needed.

[0106] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the connection structure includes a connecting protrusion 670 and a connecting groove 780. The connecting protrusion 670 is provided on the end of the main cover shell 600 opposite the deflector 700, and the connecting groove 780 is provided on the end of the deflector 700 opposite the main cover shell 600. The connecting protrusion 670 and the connecting groove 780 are engaged in a snap-fit ​​manner, and the projections of the opposing ends of the main cover shell 600 and the deflector 700 overlap. Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting protrusion 670 can also be provided on the deflector 700, and the connecting groove 780 can be provided on the main cover shell 600, but this is not limited here. With this arrangement, the connecting protrusion 670 and the connecting groove 780 are engaged in a snap-fit ​​manner, ensuring a stable and secure connection. This prevents the main cover unit from loosening or falling off during operation, ensuring normal operation. The overlapping projections of the opposing ends of the main cover shell 600 and the deflector 700 increase the tightness and stability of the connection, further improving reliability.

[0107] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting protrusion 670 is configured to elastically swing relative to the central portion of the main cover chamber. With this structure, due to its elastic swinging properties, the connecting protrusion 670 can move relatively freely within the central portion of the main cover housing 600. During disassembly, the connecting protrusion 670 can be swung to a convenient position by applying appropriate force, thereby simplifying the disassembly process, reducing the difficulty of disassembly, and reducing waste of manpower and time. Furthermore, the swinging of the connecting protrusion 670 can reduce friction with the main cover housing 600 or other components, thereby protecting the integrity and durability of the connecting structure.

[0108] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figures 7 to 9In the embodiment of the present invention, a first plug-in recess 681 and a first plug-in protrusion 682 are provided on the end of the main cover shell 600 opposite to the deflector 700. The first plug-in recess 681 is formed by a concave portion of the outer wall of the main cover shell 600. The side of the first plug-in protrusion 682 is connected to the side of the first plug-in recess 681. The outer surface of the first plug-in protrusion 682 is higher than the bottom surface of the first plug-in recess 681; a second plug-in recess 791 and a second plug-in protrusion 792 are provided on the end of the deflector 700 opposite to the main cover shell 600.

The first sealing ring 510 is located between the first inlet and the drain outlet 120 to isolate the first inlet from the drain outlet 120. With the above structure, the first sealing ring 510 is placed between the outer wall of the fueling nozzle guide 300 and the inner wall of the auxiliary gate chamber 110, filling the gap between the two and enhancing the sealing effect. Since the first sealing ring 510 is located between the first inlet and the drain outlet 120, it achieves isolation between the two locations, preventing liquid from flowing back to the first inlet during drainage.

[0153] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 10 In this embodiment of the present invention, an annular protrusion is provided on the fueling nozzle guide rail 300. The annular protrusion is located at one end of the fueling nozzle guide rail 300 near the first outlet and is arranged around the end opening of the fueling nozzle guide rail 300. The annular protrusion is inserted into and circumferentially positioned with a portion of the structure of the main cover unit near the second inlet. The capless fueling device includes a second sealing ring 520. A portion of the second sealing ring 520 is engaged with the annular protrusion, while another portion of the second sealing ring 520 abuts against the main cover unit to seal the connection between the first outlet and the second inlet. With this structure, a portion of the second sealing ring 520 engages with the annular protrusion, while the other portion abuts against the main cover unit, thereby ensuring a reliable seal at the connection between the first outlet and the second inlet, providing an excellent sealing structure and preventing fuel vapor from leaking out of the fuel tank.

[0154] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the first sealing ring 510 is a sealing rubber ring, and the second sealing ring 520 is a foam sealing ring. The foam sealing ring has good sealing performance, can fill and seal irregular or incompletely fitting surfaces, and effectively prevent the penetration and leakage of gas or liquid. The foam sealing ring has a certain elasticity and softness, and can play a buffering and shock-absorbing effect under vibration or impact, protecting components from damage.
