[0002] The term "automobile fuel tank" is the full name for a car's fuel tank. Currently, with the development of the automobile industry and the revitalization of the domestic automobile industry, the demand for automobile fuel tanks from major automobile manufacturers is showing a significant upward trend.
[0003] Automotive fuel tanks are categorized by material: iron fuel tanks and aluminum alloy fuel tanks. With the development and application of various new materials, rust prevention has become the biggest quality issue for iron fuel tanks, especially given today's emphasis on environmental protection. In the heavy-duty truck sector, the quality of fuel in my country is a major factor affecting the adoption of new models, making the quality of the fuel tank, which carries the fuel, a key focus. Aluminum alloy fuel tanks not only meet strength requirements but also offer significant advantages in corrosion resistance compared to iron and other new materials. This has made them the preferred choice for large buses and heavy-duty trucks, which have high fuel consumption and stringent fuel quality requirements. Automotive fuel tanks are also categorized by function: ordinary fuel tanks and heated fuel tanks.
[0004] In related technologies, the fuel tank's extraction end is located in its central area. If the vehicle is going uphill or downhill and the fuel level in the tank is low, the vehicle may experience insufficient fuel supply, leading to a risk of fuel shortage when going uphill or downhill.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0038] This application provides a fuel tank, an engine fuel supply system, and a vehicle. When going downhill, the extraction device can continuously extract fuel concentrated in the front area of the fuel tank through the first oil pipe. When going uphill, the extraction device activates the first and second oil pipes to supply fuel simultaneously, ensuring that the vehicle has sufficient fuel supply when going uphill or downhill.
[0039] Firstly, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a fuel tank, which may include: a fuel tank body 1, the fuel tank body 1 is equipped with an extraction device 2, the first extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to a first oil pipe 3, the first oil pipe 3 is inserted into the front end of the fuel tank body 1, the second extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to a second oil pipe 4, the second oil pipe 4 is inserted into the rear end of the fuel tank body 1, and the output end of the extraction device 2 is used to connect to the fuel supply end of the engine body 8; a fuel level sensor 5, which is installed on the fuel tank body 1, is used to monitor the liquid level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1; a controller, the controller is signal-connected to the extraction device 2 and the fuel level sensor 5, the controller is used to control the extraction device 2 to start the first oil pipe 3 to supply fuel when the fuel level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1 is greater than or equal to a set threshold, and to control the extraction device 2 to start the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 to supply fuel when the fuel level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1 is lower than the set threshold.
[0040] For example, the extraction device 2 is installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1. The first extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to the first oil pipe 3. The bottom end of the first oil pipe 3 is inserted near the front end of the fuel tank body 1, ensuring that it is inserted into the front half of the fuel tank body 1. The front and rear ends of the fuel tank body 1 are in the direction of the vehicle length. The second extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to the second oil pipe 4. The bottom end of the second oil pipe 4 is inserted near the rear end of the fuel tank body 1, ensuring that it is inserted into the rear half of the fuel tank body 1. The bottom end of the second oil pipe 4 can also be connected to the bottom surface of the fuel tank body 1. The fuel level sensor 5 can be installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1, separately from the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4. Alternatively, the fuel level sensor 5, the first oil pipe 3, and the second oil pipe 4 can be integrated into one unit to improve the integration.
[0041] Specifically, when the vehicle is going downhill, the fuel in the fuel tank 1 flows to the front end of the tank. The first fuel line 3, inserted into the front end of the tank, ensures that the extraction device 2 can continuously extract fuel concentrated in the front end of the tank. When the vehicle is going uphill, the fuel in the fuel tank 1 flows to the rear end. The fuel level sensor 5 detects when the fuel level at the front end of the tank is below a set threshold. When this occurs, the controller activates the extraction device 2 to simultaneously supply fuel via the first and second fuel lines 3 and 4, ensuring a fuel supply for the vehicle going uphill. This solves the risk of fuel shortage during uphill and downhill driving in related technologies.
[0042] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the extraction device 2 may include: an oil pump 201, one end of which is connected to the first oil pipe 3, and the other end of which is connected to the oil supply end of the engine body; a first control valve 202, which is connected between the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4; when the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the oil tank body 1 is lower than a set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4.
[0043] For example, the oil pump 201 can be installed on the top of the oil tank body 1. The extraction end of the oil pump 201 is connected to the top of the first oil pipe 3, and its output end is connected to the oil supply end of the engine body 8. The first control valve 202 is installed between the top of the first oil pipe 3 and the top of the second oil pipe 4. When the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the oil tank body 1 is lower than the set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, so that the oil pump 201 can simultaneously extract oil from the front and rear end areas of the oil tank body 1, ensuring that the vehicle has a sufficient supply of oil when facing an uphill state.
[0044] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fuel tank also includes a first partition 6, which is fixed inside the fuel tank body 1. Along the length of the vehicle body, the first partition 6 divides the fuel tank body 1 into a fuel supply chamber 101 and a fuel storage chamber 102. Along the height of the vehicle body, the upper part of the first partition 6 has a plurality of first oil passage holes 601. The first oil pipe 3 is located in the fuel supply chamber 101, and the second oil pipe 4 is located in the fuel storage chamber 102. The extraction device 2 also includes a third oil pipe 203, one end of which is inserted into the fuel supply chamber 101, and the third oil pipe 203 is connected to the first oil pipe 3 by a second control valve 204. When the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1 is lower than a set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, and the second control valve 204 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the third oil pipe 203.
[0045] For example, the first partition 6 is vertically fixed inside the fuel tank body 1, dividing the interior of the fuel tank body 1 into a fuel supply chamber 101 and a fuel storage chamber 102. Its first fuel passage 601 connects the upper parts of the fuel supply chamber 101 and the fuel storage chamber 102. The first fuel passage 601 can reduce the impact of fuel volume caused by vehicle inertia, thus reducing the risk of vehicle operation. Simultaneously, when the vehicle is about to leave the factory, a small amount of fuel can be added to the fuel supply chamber 101 to meet the vehicle's departure requirements, thereby reducing factory and transportation costs. When the vehicle faces an uphill slope, the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the oil tank body 1 is lower than the set threshold. The controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, and the second control valve 204 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the third oil pipe 203. Through the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, the oil pump 201 simultaneously draws oil from the front and rear ends of the oil tank body 1, ensuring that the vehicle has a sufficient supply of oil when facing an uphill slope. At the same time, the oil in the oil storage chamber 102 is partially replenished to the oil supply chamber 101 through the third oil pipe 203, thus replenishing the oil supply chamber 101. This means that when facing an uphill slope again in a short time, it is not necessary to supply oil through the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 at the same time. This reduces the number of times the vehicle needs to supply oil through the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 when facing intermittent uphill roads, improving its practicality and economy.
[0046] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the inner diameter of the third oil pipe 203 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first oil pipe 3. For example, when the vehicle is facing an uphill slope, the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 ensure that the oil pump 201 simultaneously draws oil from the front and rear ends of the fuel tank body 1, guaranteeing a sufficient fuel supply when the vehicle is facing an uphill slope. Simultaneously, oil in the oil storage chamber 102 is partially replenished to the fuel supply chamber 101 through the third oil pipe 203, thus replenishing the fuel supply chamber 101. Because the third oil pipe 203 acts as a diversion device, it effectively diverts fuel from the engine's fuel supply end. Therefore, by making the inner diameter of the third oil pipe 203 smaller than that of the first oil pipe 3, the amount of fuel diverted by the third oil pipe 203 can be reduced. Under the premise of ensuring normal fuel supply, replenishing the fuel supply chamber 101 through the third oil pipe 203 reduces the number of times the vehicle needs to be refueled via the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 when facing intermittent uphill roads, improving its practicality and economy.
[0047] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, the fuel tank also includes a second partition 7, which is fixed inside the fuel tank body 1. The second partition 7 is located within the fuel storage chamber 102 and has multiple second oil passage holes 701 along the vehicle height direction. For example, the second partition 7 is vertically fixed to the inner top of the fuel tank body 1, and the multiple second oil passage holes 701 along the vehicle height direction can further reduce the impact damage caused by vehicle inertia to the fuel in the fuel storage chamber 102.
[0048] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second oil pipe 4 may include: a first pipe body 401 and a second pipe body 402, one end of the first pipe body 401 being connected to the extraction device 2, and one end of the second pipe body 402 being connected to the rear end of the oil tank body 1; and a filter device 403, which is connected to the other end of the first pipe body 401 and the other end of the second pipe body 402. For example, the filter device 403 can be used to coarsely filter the oil in the oil storage chamber 102, improving the service life of the engine body 8. The filter device 403 may include a filter canister and a filter screen, with the filter screen installed in the filter canister, and the filter canister being connected to the other end of the first pipe body 401 and the other end of the second pipe body 402.
[0049] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the first tube 401 penetrates the fuel tank body 1 and is connected to the extraction device 2. For example, the first tube 401 can be embedded in the fuel supply chamber 101. Setting the first tube 401 inside the fuel tank body 1 can improve the service life of the first tube 401, prevent damage from the outside, and thus improve the safety of the fuel tank body 1.
[0050] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, flushing ports are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the fuel tank body 1. For example, flushing ports can be provided on the top and bottom of the fuel supply chamber 101 and the fuel storage chamber 102 of the fuel tank body 1, making the inner cavity of the fuel tank body 1 easy to flush and clean.
[0051] Secondly, such as Figure 1As shown, this application embodiment provides an engine fuel supply system, which may include: a fuel tank body 1, wherein the fuel tank body 1 is equipped with an extraction device 2, a first extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to a first oil pipe 3, the first oil pipe 3 is inserted into the front end of the fuel tank body 1, and a second extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to a second oil pipe 4, the second oil pipe 4 is inserted into the rear end of the fuel tank body 1; a fuel level sensor 5, which is used to monitor the fuel level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1; and a controller, which is signal-connected to the extraction device 2 and the fuel level sensor 5, and when the fuel level sensor 5 monitors the fuel level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1... When the liquid level at the front end of the tank body 1 is greater than or equal to a set threshold, the controller controls the extraction device 2 to start the first oil pipe 3 to supply oil. When the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the tank body 1 is lower than the set threshold, the controller controls the extraction device 2 to start the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4 to supply oil. The engine body 8 has a fourth oil pipe 9 connected to its oil supply end. The fourth oil pipe 9 is connected to the first output end of the extraction device 2, and a fifth oil pipe 10 is connected to the oil return end of the engine body 8. The fifth oil pipe 10 is inserted into the front end of the tank body 1.
[0052] For example, the extraction device 2 is installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1. The first extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to the first oil pipe 3. The bottom end of the first oil pipe 3 is inserted near the front end of the fuel tank body 1, ensuring that it is inserted into the front half of the fuel tank body 1. The front and rear ends of the fuel tank body 1 are in the direction of the vehicle length. The second extraction end of the extraction device 2 is connected to the second oil pipe 4. The bottom end of the second oil pipe 4 is inserted near the rear end of the fuel tank body 1, ensuring that it is inserted into the rear half of the fuel tank body 1. The bottom end of the second oil pipe 4 can also be connected to the bottom surface of the fuel tank body 1. The fuel level sensor 5 can be installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1, separately from the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4. Alternatively, the fuel level sensor 5, the first oil pipe 3, and the second oil pipe 4 can be integrated into one unit to improve the integration.
[0053] Specifically, when the vehicle is going downhill, the fuel in the fuel tank 1 flows to the front end of the tank. The first fuel line 3, inserted into the front end of the tank, ensures that the extraction device 2 can continuously extract fuel concentrated in the front end of the tank. When the vehicle is going uphill, the fuel in the fuel tank 1 flows to the rear end. The fuel level sensor 5 detects when the fuel level at the front end of the tank is below a set threshold. When this occurs, the controller activates the extraction device 2 to simultaneously supply fuel via the first and second fuel lines 3 and 4, ensuring a fuel supply for the vehicle going uphill. This solves the risk of fuel shortage during uphill and downhill driving in related technologies.
[0054] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one implementation method, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the extraction device 2 may include: an oil pump 201, one end of which is connected to the first oil pipe 3, and the other end of which is connected to the fuel supply end of the engine; a first control valve 202, which is connected between the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4; when the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the oil tank body 1 is lower than a set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4.
[0055] For example, the oil pump 201 can be installed on the top of the oil tank body 1. The extraction end of the oil pump 201 is connected to the top of the first oil pipe 3, and its output end is connected to the oil supply end of the engine body 8. The first control valve 202 is installed between the top of the first oil pipe 3 and the top of the second oil pipe 4. When the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the oil tank body 1 is lower than the set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, so that the oil pump 201 can simultaneously extract oil from the front and rear end areas of the oil tank body 1, ensuring that the vehicle has a sufficient supply of oil when facing an uphill state.
[0056] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one implementation method, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fuel tank also includes a first partition 6, which is fixed inside the fuel tank body 1. Along the length of the vehicle body, the first partition 6 divides the fuel tank body 1 into a fuel supply chamber 101 and a fuel storage chamber 102. Along the height of the vehicle body, the upper part of the first partition 6 has a plurality of first oil passage holes 601. The first oil pipe 3 is located in the fuel supply chamber 101, and the second oil pipe 4 is located in the fuel storage chamber 102. The extraction device 2 also includes a third oil pipe 203, one end of which is inserted into the fuel supply chamber 101, and the third oil pipe 203 is connected to the first oil pipe 3 by a second control valve 204. When the oil level sensor 5 detects that the liquid level at the front end of the fuel tank body 1 is lower than a set threshold, the controller controls the first control valve 202 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the second oil pipe 4, and the second control valve 204 to connect to the first oil pipe 3 and the third oil pipe 203.
[0057] For example, the first partition 6 is vertically fixed inside the fuel tank body 1, dividing the interior of the fuel tank body 1 into a fuel supply chamber 101 and a fuel storage chamber 102. Its first fuel passage 601 connects the upper parts of the fuel supply chamber 101 and the fuel storage chamber 102.
