[0032] The side wall of the oil pump 3 is further provided with a circuit control module 38 connected to the internal circuit of the oil pump 3, and the circuit control module 38 is electrically connected with the electromagnetic valve 37 respectively. The circuit control module 38 is used for controlling the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 37. The circuit control module 38 controls the conduction state of the oil inlet end and the oil outlet end of the oil pump 3 through the current direction of the coil of the electromagnetic valve 37, so that the electromagnetic valve 37 switches the oil pump 3 to the oil pumping mode or the oil pumping mode. In the oil pumping mode, the oil supply branch pipe 36 serves as the oil inlet end, and the oil inlet branch pipe 35 serves as the oil outlet end. External methanol fuel can be pumped into the oil tank body 1; in the oil pumping mode, the oil inlet branch pipe 35 is converted into the oil inlet end, and the oil outlet pipe 33 serves as the oil outlet end. Methanol fuel can be actively pumped to the external pipeline. The current direction of the coil is used to switch different working modes of the oil pump 3, so that the oil pump 3 can adapt to complex working conditions.
[0033] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 The top surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is provided with a sealing step 22. The sealing step 22 is annular, and the sealing step 22 is sleeved on the outer wall of the oil outlet pipe 33. A fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 is arranged between the oil outlet pipe 33 and the sealing step 22. The fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 is a high-performance sealing element, which combines the chemical resistance of fluorine rubber and the temperature resistance of silicone rubber. The fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 has strong corrosion resistance to methanol fuel. At the same time, the fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 is in interference fit with the sealing step 22, forming a dynamic sealing structure. When the oil pump 3 pumps methanol fuel into the external pipeline through the oil outlet pipe 33, the risk of methanol fuel leakage from the connection is effectively blocked.
[0034] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 2 and the accompanying drawings Figure 6 The top surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is further provided with a return oil pipe 24 communicated with the oil tank body 1, and the return oil pipe 24 is communicated with the external oil pipeline. The bidirectional flow between the delivery pump assembly and the external system is realized, the dynamic balance of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the oil tank body 1 is achieved, and the risk of fuel accumulation or interruption of fuel supply caused by pressure fluctuation is avoided.
[0035] The top surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is further provided with a return oil pipe 24 communicated with the oil tank body 1, and the return oil pipe 24 is communicated with the external oil pipeline. The bidirectional flow between the delivery pump assembly and the external system is realized, the dynamic balance of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the oil tank body 1 is achieved, and the risk of fuel accumulation or interruption of fuel supply caused by pressure fluctuation is avoided.
[0036] The bottom surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is respectively provided with an oil level detection assembly 4, a positioning piece 26 and a bracket 5.
[0037] The oil level detection assembly 4 includes a sliding rod 41 fixed to the bottom surface of the fuel tank cover 2. The sliding rod 41 is arranged vertically along the height direction of the fuel tank body 1. Two detection parts 42 are respectively provided at both ends of the sliding rod 41. The two detection parts 42 are respectively a high detection position and a low detection position, and the two detection parts 42 are electrically connected to the circuit control module 38. A float 43 that can slide up and down is provided on the outer wall of the sliding rod 41. The float 43 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 41 and slides up and down along the axis as the oil level changes. When the oil level rises to a high position, the float 43 pushes the detection part 42 at the upper end to trigger a signal, and the circuit control module 38 cuts off the oil pumping mode to prevent methanol fuel from overflowing in the fuel tank body 1; when the oil level drops to a low position, the float 43 triggers the detection part 42 at the lower end to terminate the oil pumping mode to avoid idling and dry pumping. The coordinated design of the mechanical oil level detection and the electronic control module realizes the automatic switching of the working mode of the oil pump 3.
[0038] The bracket 5 extends vertically downward to the bottom of the fuel tank body 1. The end of the bracket 5 is integrated with an electric heating belt 51, a phase change energy storage module 52 and a temperature sensor 53. The electric heating belt 51 is wound in the annular groove on the inner wall of the bracket 5 and is in direct contact with the methanol fuel. The motor heat belt adopts a PTC ceramic heating element with a self-limiting temperature characteristic. When current passes through, the resistance increases with the temperature, automatically limiting the power output to avoid overheating; the phase change energy storage module 52 adopts paraffin-based organic phase change material (PCM), and the phase change temperature is set to 25-35°C (matching The PCM has a phase change latent heat value of ≥200 kJ / kg, ensuring that the temperature fluctuation can be adjusted by ±5°C in a single endothermic / exothermic cycle. It is encapsulated in a high-thermal-conductivity graphite composite shell and arranged adjacent to the electric heating belt 51. When the ambient temperature rises, causing the methanol vapor pressure to rise, the PCM absorbs excess heat to complete the solid-liquid phase transition and inhibit the gasification of the methanol fuel. In low-temperature environments, the PCM releases the stored heat to maintain the fluidity of methanol in the low-temperature range. The temperature sensor 53 is located at the center of the bottom end of the bracket 5, directly contacting the methanol liquid, and monitoring the fuel temperature in real time.
[0039] By integrating the phase change energy storage module 52 with the electric heating belt 51 and the temperature sensor 53 in a coordinated design, the latent heat characteristics of the phase change material are utilized to achieve constant temperature control of the methanol fuel. When the ambient temperature rises, causing the saturated vapor pressure of methanol to rise significantly, the phase change energy storage module 52 stores excess heat by absorbing heat, thereby suppressing excessive gasification of the fuel. When the temperature drops, its heat release function maintains the fluidity of the fuel in the low-temperature section of the fuel tank body 1. This dynamic thermal balance mechanism effectively solves the problem of uncontrolled gas-liquid phase change of methanol caused by temperature fluctuations.

[0041] The inner wall of the port 11 of the oil tank body 1 is fixed with a limiting ring 12, the upper surface of the limiting ring 12 is provided with a ring groove 121 for embedding the end of the positioning member 26, the cross section of the ring groove 121 is V-shaped, which is convenient for closely matching the cone-shaped end of the positioning member 26, and the geometric shape of the interference fit characteristics effectively fills the micro gap existing in the traditional structure of the plane contact.
[0042] The ring groove 121 is provided with a guide slope surface 122 in the shape of an arc cross section close to the axis, and the depth between the guide slope surface 122 and the ring groove 121 gradually becomes shallow, the guide convex rib 261 slides in the guide slope surface 122, and as the guide convex rib 261 rotates along the radial direction of the ring groove 121, the guide convex rib 261 and the guide slope surface 122 will gradually clamp the oil tank cover plate 2, and the cooperation design of the guide slope surface 122 and the guide convex rib 261 makes the delivery pump assembly more convenient to maintain and overhaul, realizes the quick disassembly and alignment of the oil tank cover plate 2 at the port 11 of the oil tank body 1, and significantly improves the installation convenience and assembly efficiency of the delivery pump assembly.
