DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model Figures 1-3, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Embodiment:

[0023] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present utility model discloses a fuel pump with adjustable installation height, which includes a top cover 1 and a housing 3 located below the top cover 1. A fuel pump (not shown in the figure) is installed in the housing 3. The functions of the top cover 1, the housing 3, and the fuel pump are prior art, so no more details will be described.

[0024] A plurality of connecting columns 2 extend downward from the top cover 1. The connecting columns 2 are used to install the housing 3. A plurality of card slots 21 are sequentially arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the outer side wall of the connecting columns 2; a connecting cylinder 31 is arranged on the outer side wall of the housing 3. In this structure, the connecting columns 2 are sleeved in the connecting cylinder 31. Correspondingly, a clamping block 34 is movably arranged on the connecting cylinder 31. In addition, a clamping block fixing member that can move up and down is arranged on the connecting columns 2. The clamping block fixing member is used to fix the clamping block 34 in the card slot 21. The specific solution is as follows:

[0025] An activity slot 32 is opened on the side wall of the connecting cylinder 31. A clamping strip 33 is arranged in the activity slot 32. Only the lower end of the clamping strip 33 is fixedly connected to the activity slot 32. At the same time, the clamping block 34 is arranged on the end surface of the clamping strip 33 facing the inner side wall of the connecting cylinder 31; the clamping block fixing member includes a moving pipe 22 and a limiting wall 23. Among them, the inner side wall of the moving pipe 22 is used for threaded connection with the outer side wall of the connecting column 2. The upper end of the limiting wall 23 is fixedly provided with a pressing pipe 24. The pressing pipe 24 is sleeved outside the connecting column 2 and its upper end is used for rotational connection with the lower end of the moving pipe 22. In this structure, the upper and lower end surfaces of the pressing pipe 24 are respectively used for abutting against the lower end surface of the moving pipe 22 and the upper end surface of the connecting cylinder 31. The limiting wall 23 is used to abut the clamping strip 33 between the outer side wall of the connecting column 2 and the inner side wall of the limiting wall 23 facing the connecting column 2.

[0026] The working principle of this structure is as follows: When the overall height of the fuel pump needs to be reduced, the outer casing 3 can be first sleeved on the connecting column 2 and then slid upward. In this embodiment, the upper end of the locking block 34 has an inclined surface 341. Therefore, during the upward movement of the outer casing 3, the locking strip 33 and the locking block 34 will swing outward under the action of the inclined surface 341, and the outer casing 3 can move upward. When the outer casing 3 moves to an appropriate height on the connecting column 2, the movable pipe 22 can be rotated downward until the pressing pipe 24 is screwed tightly between the movable pipe 22 and the connecting cylinder 31. At this time, the pressing pipe 24 is equivalent to a gasket and can lock the movable pipe 22. At the same time, since the pressing pipe 24 is pressed, the limiting wall 23 can also always limit the locking strip 33, so that the locking strip 33 is held between the outer side wall of the connecting column 2 and the inner side wall of the limiting wall 23 facing the connecting column 2. At this time, the locking block 34 is engaged with the card slot 21, and the installation height of the outer casing 3 is fixed. When the outer casing 3 needs to be moved downward to increase the overall height of the fuel pump, first rotate the movable pipe 22 upward to make the limiting wall 23 leave the connecting cylinder 31, and then use your hand to bend the locking strip 33 outward to make the locking block 34 withdraw from the card slot 21, that is, the outer casing 3 can be moved downward. The subsequent steps of fixing the outer casing 3 have been described above, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0027] To further improve the fixing effect, multiple locking blocks 34 are provided on the locking strip 33.

[0028] It should also be pointed out that the terms used in the present invention, such as "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
