For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0030] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an oil tank hole opener according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a main body 1, a first cone rod 2, a second cone rod 3, a first spring 4 and a second spring 5. The first cone rod 2 and the second cone rod 3 both extend in the up-down direction. The first cone rod 2 and the second cone rod 3 are arranged on the main body 1 at intervals along the first direction. The first cone rod 2 and the second cone rod 3 can both slide in the up-down direction relative to the main body 1. The lower end of the first spring 4 is arranged on the main body 1, and the upper end of the first spring 4 is connected to the first cone rod 2. The lower end of the second spring 5 is arranged on the main body 1, and the lower end of the second spring 5 is connected to the second cone rod 3.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the main body 1 is placed on the end face of the oil tank, and the first cone rod 2 and the second cone rod 3 are pressed against the elastic force of the first spring 4 and the second spring 5, and a pouring hole and a vent hole are respectively opened on the end face of the oil tank. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and it can ensure that the oil in the oil tank is poured out more smoothly and stably.

The lower ends of the first cone head 202 and the second cone head 302 do not protrude from the accommodating groove 101. When the staff presses the first rod body 201 and the second rod body 301, the first cone head 202 and the second cone head 302 extend from the accommodating groove 101, thereby preventing the cone heads from being exposed and easily cutting the staff when the oil tank hole opener is not in use, thereby preventing safety problems.

[0034] More preferably, the main body 1 also includes a cover body 102, the cover body 102 includes a cover plate 1021 and a cover edge 1022 arranged on the outer periphery of the cover plate 1021 and extending downward, the cover plate 1021 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the accommodating groove 101, and a first through hole 10211 and a second through hole 10212 are opened on the cover plate 1021, the first through hole 10211 and the second through hole 10212 are respectively located at the two ends of the cover plate 1021 along the first direction, the first cone head 202 is opposite to the first through hole 10211, and the second cone head 302 is opposite to the second through hole 10212. A cover plate 1021 and a cover edge 1022 are arranged to be installed and positioned in coordination with the end face and the tank body of the oil tank, so as to facilitate the hole opening operation and increase the stability of the hole opening; a first through hole 10211 and a second through hole 10212 are opened, and the first through hole 10211 and the second through hole 10212 are respectively located at the two ends of the cover plate 1021 along the first direction, so that the vent hole and the pouring hole opened on the end face of the oil tank are respectively located at the two ends of the same straight line direction, and are both close to the tank body, and when the oil is poured out, the oil only flows out from the pouring hole and is difficult to flow out from the vent hole, and after the oil is poured out, there is almost no residual oil in the oil tank.

[0035] More preferably, it further comprises a handle 6, which is detachably mounted on the first rod body 201 and the second rod body 301. The handle 6 is arranged to connect the first rod body 201 and the second rod body 301, and the pouring hole and the vent hole can be simultaneously opened on the oil tank by pressing the handle 6 once.

[0036] More preferably, the invention further comprises a first nut 7, a second nut 8, a third nut 9 and a fourth nut 10, the first rod 201 has a first threaded portion 203 at one end away from the first cone head 202, the second rod 301 has a second threaded portion 303 at one end away from the second cone head 302, the first nut 7, the handle 6 and the second nut 8 are sequentially sleeved on the first threaded portion 203 from top to bottom, the first nut 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first spring 4, and the upper end of the first spring 4 is connected to the first threaded portion 203 through the first nut 7; the third nut 9, the handle 6 and the fourth nut 10 are sequentially sleeved on the second threaded portion 303 from top to bottom, the third nut 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second spring 5, and the upper end of the second spring 5 is connected to the second threaded portion 303 through the third nut 9. The first nut 7 and the second nut 8 are meshed with the first threaded portion 203, and the third nut 9 and the fourth nut 10 are meshed with the second threaded portion 303. The elastic force of the spring can be adjusted by adjusting the first nut 7 and the third nut 9. When the first nut 7 and the third nut 9 are screwed downward, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 are compressed and the elastic force increases, which can maintain the reset ability of the first cone rod 2 and the second cone rod 3 and offset the weakening of the elastic force of the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 after long-term use.

[0037] More preferably, both ends of the handle 6 have an extension portion 601 extending along the first direction. The extension portion 601 is provided to extend the handle 6, and the staff can assist in applying force by pressing the extension portion 601 of the handle 6, making the pressing operation more efficient.

[0038] More preferably, the outer periphery of the handle 6 is coated with an anti-skid pad to prevent the hand from slipping when pressing.

[0039] More preferably, the handle 6 is a hollow structure. The handle 6 is set to be a hollow structure to reduce the weight of the oil tank hole opener and is convenient to carry.

[0040] In summary, the embodiments of the utility model provide an oil tank hole opener, which is easy to operate and can open two holes at a time without any safety risk of hurting people; the hole opening position is fixed and close to the tank body, so the amount of lubricating oil remaining in the oil tank is small; there is little lubricating oil remaining on the cone head, and there is no need to clean the tool after each use.
