[0041] Figure 4 - Figure 7 The lower end of the guide rod seat 41 is provided with a guide rod groove, the inner wall of the guide rod groove is fixedly connected with a guide rod spring 42, the lower end of the guide rod spring 42 is fixedly connected with the upper end of the locking guide rod 4, and the guide rod spring 42 can effectively buffer the locking guide rod 4, which is suitable for the floating effect of the pressure in the oil tank during driving, and reduces the damage of the locking guide rod 4 and the induction core strip 32.

[0043] Figure 1 - Figure 8 After the driver finishes refueling, the lock tongue 21 and the sealing plug 22 are inserted into the oil tank opening portion through the cover shell 2, the oil tank opening portion is sealed through the sealing plug 22, then the lock tongue 21 is twisted to be locked through the knob at the upper end of the cover shell 2, or the lock tongue 21 is locked through the electric control button on the cover shell 2, after the lock tongue 21 is locked, the cover shell 2 is in the abutting position of the oil tank opening portion, the guide rod seat 41 and the locking guide rod 4 are driven by the cover shell 2 to move downward, the locking guide rod 4 extrudes the sensing core strip 32 in the locking sensing cylinder 3, so that the sensing core strip 32 shrinks, because the stiffness coefficient of the guide rod spring 42 is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the auxiliary spring 34, and the stiffness coefficient of the tension spring 37 is greater than the sum of the stiffness coefficient of the auxiliary spring 34 and the stiffness coefficient of the guide rod spring 42, therefore, in the process that the locking guide rod 4 compresses the sensing core strip 32, the auxiliary spring 34 preferentially shrinks and deforms, so that the sensing core strip 32 shrinks, then the guide rod spring 42 generates a certain shrinkage under the support of the tension spring 37, under the bidirectional extrusion action among the guide rod spring 42, the locking guide rod 4 and the tension spring 37, the sensing core strip 32 and the auxiliary spring 34 generate complete shrinkage deformation, so that the upper and lower two locking contact rods 33 in the sensing core strip 32 generate abutting triggering, reach the oil tank cover locking sensing unit, the locking monitoring processing unit receives the locking signal, the locking monitoring processing unit sends the locking prompt data to the locking prompt unit, the locking prompt unit starts the buzzer to issue the locking completion buzzer reminding at the position of the cover shell 2, which can make an intuitive voice feedback to the driver or operator who closes the cover shell 2 at this time, effectively assist the cover shell 2, the lock tongue 21 and the sealing plug 22 to reach the complete locking state, ensure the locking effectiveness of the sealing plug 22 after each refueling, avoid the subsequent oil tank sealing problem caused by poor locking, at the same time, the locking monitoring processing unit also sends the locking data to the oil tank cover locking data transmission unit, so that the oil tank cover locking data transmission unit transmits the locking data to the automobile central control end, which is convenient for the automobile central control end to process and store the automobile data.

[0044] In the process of driving, due to the shaking of the car, the contact between fuel and air will cause the pressure of the fuel tank to increase, or due to the continuous consumption of fuel in the fuel tank, the pressure of the fuel tank will decrease, so in the process of driving, the pressure in the fuel tank is in a certain fluctuation state, and then after the driving state acquisition unit transmits the data about the car being in driving state to the locking monitoring processing unit, the pressure control unit will issue a pressure control instruction to the fuel tank pressure control unit, so that the fuel tank pressure control unit acts on the pressure regulating valve to regulate the pressure fluctuation in the fuel tank, and ensure the safety of the fuel tank in the application process;

[0045] And when the pressure in the fuel tank increases, the bottom plate 36 will produce a certain extrusion effect on the tension spring 37, the tension spring 37 will produce upward shrinkage deformation, drive the bottom plate 36 to move upward, drive the inductive core strip 32 in the contracted state to move upward through the extension rod 35, produce an upward thrust on the locking guide rod 4, make the guide rod spring 42 produce further compression, and then after the pressure regulating valve plays a pressure regulating role, the bottom plate 36 loses the extrusion effect of the pressure, the tension spring 37 produces a restoring elongation deformation, and drives the inductive core strip 32 to move downward through the bottom plate 36 and the extension rod 35, and continuously maintains the inductive core strip 32 in the fully contracted state under the elastic recovery effect of the guide rod spring 42; It can effectively ensure the pressure balance in the fuel tank, promote the safety of the fuel tank application, and continuously monitor the sealing state of the sealing plug 22 in the driving process, and ensure the driving safety;

[0046] Or when the pressure fluctuation in the fuel tank decreases, the negative pressure in the fuel tank will act on the bottom plate 36, causing the bottom plate 36 to be adsorbed and move downward, and the inductive core strip 32 will move downward under the action of the tension spring 37, and at this time, due to the elastic elongation effect of the guide rod spring 42, the locking guide rod 4 will be driven to move downward after the inductive core strip 32 moves downward, thereby effectively maintaining the continuous compression of the auxiliary spring 34 in the inductive core strip 32 and the continuous triggering effect of the locking touch rod 33, and then after the pressure regulating valve plays a pressure regulating role, the bottom plate 36 loses the adsorption effect of the negative pressure, and will drive the inductive core strip 32 and the locking guide rod 4 to produce a restoring action under the elastic recovery effect of the tension spring 37, and the guide rod spring 42 maintains a certain compression effect, and restores the position of the inductive core strip 32 and the locking guide rod 4. Because the pressure fluctuation is small and effectively regulated, the displacement of the bottom plate 36 is not large, so the displacement is within the elastic range of the tension spring 37, so the upper and lower locking touch rods 33 in the inductive core strip 32 maintain a continuous contact effect in this process;

[0047] In the process of balancing and maintaining the pressure in the oil tank by the lock monitoring processing unit controlling the pressure regulating valve through the oil tank pressure regulating unit, if the pressure in the oil tank continues to increase, the bottom plate 36 moves upward continuously to compress the tension spring 37, and the tension spring 37 and the guide rod spring 42 are also fully retracted, and after the fluctuation trigger rod 38 extrudes and triggers the fluctuation contact piece, the fluctuation contact piece transmits the trigger data to the pressure fluctuation abnormal collection unit. After the lock monitoring processing unit receives the pressure abnormal data transmitted by the pressure fluctuation abnormal collection unit, it is judged that the pressure regulating valve is malfunctioning at this time, and the lock tongue 21 is in a poor sealing state, so the abnormal alarm is transmitted to the abnormal lock alarm unit, and the alarm signal is transmitted to the automobile central control end by the abnormal lock alarm unit, so that the automobile central control end alarms and reminds the driver in the cab, reminds the driver to find a safe parking point in time, and carries out parking investigation to find out the reason for the poor sealing, and handles the bad reason to ensure the safety of subsequent driving;

[0048] Or if the pressure in the oil tank continues to decrease, the bottom plate 36 continuously moves downward to continuously stretch and deform the tension spring 37, and the extension rod 35 drives the inductive core strip 32 to continuously move downward, and when the inductive core strip 32 moves downward to the fully stretched position of the guide rod spring 42, the lock guide rod 4 no longer extrudes the inductive core strip 32, and the auxiliary spring 34 in the inductive core strip 32 produces elastic recovery effect, thereby causing the two lock trigger rods 33 in the inductive core strip 32 to separate, and the signal of the separation of the lock trigger rod 33 is transmitted to the lock monitoring processing unit by the pressure fluctuation abnormal collection unit. The lock monitoring processing unit judges and processes the received pressure abnormal data, judges that the pressure regulating valve is malfunctioning at this time, and the lock tongue 21 is in a poor sealing state, so the abnormal alarm is transmitted to the abnormal lock alarm unit, and the alarm signal is transmitted to the automobile central control end by the abnormal lock alarm unit, so that the automobile central control end alarms and reminds the driver in the cab, reminds the driver to find a safe parking point in time, and carries out parking investigation to find out the reason for the poor sealing, and handles the bad reason to ensure the safety of subsequent driving;

[0049] By feeding the lock tongue 21 sealing state data to the driver in time during driving, the safety during driving can be effectively ensured, and the problem of resource waste and environmental pollution caused by subsequent continuous poor sealing and fuel leakage can be avoided. More importantly, the safety risk during driving is further reduced to ensure driving safety. In the process of regulating the pressure in the oil tank and collecting and feeding data of the lock sealing state by the lock monitoring processing unit, the lock monitoring processing unit also transmits the monitored full data to the automobile central control end through the oil tank cover locking data transmission unit, displays and stores the related data through the automobile central control end, promotes the correlation between the oil tank sealing and the automobile central control end, and further ensures the safety of driving.

[0050] The second embodiment:

[0051] Figure 1 - Figure 12 The locking tank cap lock is shown as a further improvement of the first embodiment, which can realize further development of the locking tank cap lock function, realize the multi-specification of the locking tank cap lock, and effectively adapt to different market demands. A plurality of locking grooves are formed on the lower end of the cover shell 2 outside the sealing plug 22. An adsorption iron block 6 is arranged in the locking groove. The outer diameter of the adsorption iron block 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the locking groove. According to the position of the cover shell 2 and the sealing plug 22 of different specifications, a plurality of locking grooves can be evenly distributed on the lower end of the cover shell 2. The locking grooves can also be arranged according to the reserved position of the cover shell 2 to ensure the effectiveness of the subsequent forced locking action. When the sealing plug 22 cannot be locked and cannot be restored by the driver, the forced locking action can ensure the safety of the driver driving to the repair point or the safe parking point.

[0052] Figure 2 And Figure 8 - Figure 12 The lower end of the positioning ring 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of L-shaped arc blocks 13 corresponding to the position of the locking groove. The upper end of the L-shaped arc block 13 is fixedly connected with a forced locking electromagnetic block 5. The output end of the locking monitoring processing unit is connected with an emergency forced locking unit. The output end of the emergency forced locking unit is signal connected with the forced locking electromagnetic block 5. The cooperation of the emergency forced locking unit, the forced locking electromagnetic block 5 and the adsorption iron block 6 can perform forced locking action on the sealing plug 22 when the sealing plug 22 cannot be locked and cannot be restored by human. It can give the driver effective safe driving time and ensure the sealing of the tank in the distance from the driver driving the vehicle to the safe parking point or the repair point, which further guarantees the safety of driving.

[0053] Figure 8 - Figure 12 The upper inner wall of the locking groove is fixedly connected with an elastic adaptation block 61. The lower end of the elastic adaptation block 61 is fixedly connected with the adsorption iron block 6, and the adsorption iron block 6 is in sliding cooperation with the locking groove. The setting of the elastic adaptation block 61 can increase the applicability of the adsorption iron block 6 to different specifications of the cover shell 2 and the sealing plug 22. The adsorption iron block 6 and the forced locking electromagnetic block 5 can effectively adsorb on the cover shell 2 which can be evenly arranged, and then realize the forced locking effect of the sealing plug 22. On the cover shell 2 which cannot be evenly arranged, the effective adsorption of the adsorption iron block 6 and the forced locking electromagnetic block 5 is ensured through the auxiliary action of the elasticity of the elastic adaptation block 61, which promotes the further rotation of the cover shell 2 towards the tank opening, and promotes the sealing effect of the sealing plug 22 on the tank opening, realizing the effect of forced locking.

[0054] Figure 1 - Figure 12 After the locking monitoring processing unit receives the abnormal oil tank pressure data transmitted by the pressure fluctuation abnormality collection unit, the locking monitoring processing unit sends alarm data to the vehicle central control terminal through the abnormal locking alarm unit, and transmits a locking prompt instruction to the emergency forced locking unit. The emergency forced locking unit passes current into the forced locking electromagnet block 5, so that the forced locking electromagnet block 5 generates an electromagnetic effect to electromagnetically attract the adsorbed iron block 6. The position of the sealing plug 22 at the oil tank opening is controlled to move downward and be locked and maintained. The sealing plug 22 is locked by forced locking, which can help the driver to find a safe parking point or a nearby repair point to gain effective time and ensure the safety of driving in this section. After the locking monitoring processing unit obtains the vehicle parking data through the vehicle driving state collection unit, the current passing into the forced locking electromagnet block 5 is cut off through the emergency forced locking unit, so that the forced adsorption effect of the adsorbed iron block 6 is lost, and the cover shell 2 and the sealing plug 22 are convenient for replacement and maintenance.

[0055] In combination with the actual needs, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are not limited to the scope, and various changes made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
