When the fuel pump is running, oil is extracted through the pump core unit 3 and a certain pressure is applied to make the oil flow to the nozzle 11 through the bellows 2, and the fuel equipment is continuously supplied with oil by the nozzle 11, and the float 51 on one side of the bottom shell 4 is used to detect the height of the oil level, and the float 51 can be in four states (such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, according to the capacity of the oil tank, the flip block 52 is snapped into the slot 41 to adjust the position of the float 51, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0030] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a square block 521 is provided on the card block 52, and the square block 521 is engaged in the card slot 41. The bottom shell 4 is symmetrically provided with raised blocks 42 that cooperate with the card block 52. The square block 521 is a square structure with equal length and width. When the oil level needs to be adjusted, the card block 52 can be flipped 90° and the square block 521 is engaged in the card slot 41, and the raised block 42 plays the role of supporting the card block 52.

[0031] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the block 52 has a groove 522, and the bracket 53 is provided with a support block 532 which is engaged in the groove 522. The bracket 53 is installed as follows: hold the bracket 53 and put the support block 532 into the groove 522, and then slide downward to make the block 52 and the bracket 53 fit together.

[0032] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, tilting blocks 531 cooperating with the clamping block 52 are provided on both sides of the support block 532. The tilting blocks 531 are arranged on the bracket 53 to improve the tightness of the fit between the bracket 53 and the clamping block 52, so that the oil level unit 5 is more stable during operation.

[0033] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a socket 12 is provided on the upper cover 1 , and the socket 12 is electrically connected to the pump core unit 3 . The socket 12 can be externally connected to a plug to supply power to the pump body 31 and output an electrical signal to control the switch of the pump body 31 .

The pump body 31 is provided with an oil suction port 311, and the pump body 31 is communicated with the pump core. The pump core is provided with an oil outlet 302 communicated with the bellows 2. The filter element 30 and the pump body 31 are both arranged in the support cover 32, and the support cover 32 cooperates with the bottom shell 4. When the fuel pump is working, the pump body 31 operates to control the oil in the fuel tank to be sucked in from the oil suction port 311. A filter is also provided at the oil suction port 311 to reduce impurities entering the pump body 31. The oil is secondary filtered from the filter element 30 under the pressurization of the pump body 31, and enters the bellows 2 from the oil outlet 302 and flows to the oil nozzle 11.

[0035] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, an oil unloading valve 301 is provided on the oil outlet 302. The oil unloading valve 301 is provided at the oil outlet 302. When the oil pressure is too high, a certain amount of fuel leaks through the oil unloading valve 301 to control the oil pressure of the oil.

The socket 12 is connected to an external power supply and an electrical signal to control the operation of the pump body 31 so that the oil enters through the oil suction port 311, and flows out from the filter element 30 to the oil outlet 302 under a certain pressure to filter impurities in the oil. When the oil pressure is too high, the oil unloading valve 301 will release a certain amount of oil to reduce the oil pressure, so that the oil with a certain oil pressure flows from the bellows 2 along the oil outlet 302 into the nozzle 11. The fuel unit is continuously supplied by the nozzle 11, and the oil is continuously consumed and detected by the float 51 on the oil level unit 5. The float 51 detects the height of the oil level. When the oil reaches a certain oil level, the float 51 sends a signal to remind the fuel shortage or full load state.
