Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an inclined horizontal fuel pump assembly. Background Art
[0002] A fuel pump is a professional term in the automotive parts industry. It is one of the basic components of an electronic fuel injection system for automobiles and is located inside the vehicle fuel tank. The fuel pump works when the engine starts and runs. If the engine stops while the ignition switch is still in the ON position, the HFM - SFI control module shuts off the power supply of the fuel pump to avoid accidental ignition.
[0003] The existing fuel pump installation structure is that the flange is fixed to the fuel tank opening, the oil storage barrel is placed at the bottom of the fuel tank, and the flange and the oil storage barrel are connected by support rods. The pump core is vertically installed in the oil storage barrel bracket; its oil circuit is that the fuel pump assembly is installed on the fuel tank. After the oil in the fuel tank is preliminarily filtered by the fuel pump coarse filter, it is stored in the oil storage barrel. When the pump core works, it flows into the engine fuel pipe through the corrugated pipe and the flange outlet pipe. The excess oil will return to the fuel tank through the return pipe. Most of the way it sends the oil from the fuel tank to the oil storage barrel is to suck it in through the oil inlet of the bottom shell. If it is on a large vehicle, the fuel tank is relatively large and the oil level is low. In places with slopes or inclinations, the pump body may not be able to suck oil, resulting in the engine stalling due to lack of oil. Summary of the Utility Model

[0036] Furthermore, a regulating valve 3 is connected to the pressure relief channel 22, and the outlet end of the regulating valve 3 is connected with a pressure relief oil outlet pipe 31. In the above structure, the oil outlet nozzle 1 is communicated with the pressure relief channel 22 through the connecting through hole 23, the oil pressure in the whole oil outlet channel is adjusted by the regulating valve 3, and then the oil for pressure relief is discharged through the pressure relief oil outlet pipe 31.
[0037] Furthermore, a connecting portion 24 connected to the triangular connecting frame 61 is provided at the lower end of the upper cover 2. Clamping holes 241 are formed at both ends of the connecting portion 24. Clamping heads 611 are provided at both ends of the triangular connecting frame 61.

[0038] Furthermore, a filter screen 72 is provided at the lower end of the oil pump 71. It sucks and filters the oil fluid.
[0039] Furthermore, an oil inlet is provided at the inner bottom of the bottom shell 7, and a check valve 73 is provided at the oil inlet. It prevents the oil fluid entering the bottom shell 7 from flowing back.
[0040] Furthermore, an oil level sensor 9 is connected to the outside of the bottom shell 7. It detects the oil level in the fuel tank.
