[0002] In the aviation field, the auxiliary power unit (APU) plays a vital role as an important component of the aircraft; the main function of the APU is to provide electricity and compressed air to the aircraft when the main engine of the aircraft is not running, ensuring that the aircraft can maintain the operation of key systems during the ground phase or in an emergency in the air, including but not limited to cockpit lighting, air conditioning system, and power supply for electronic equipment. This system significantly improves the autonomy and flexibility of the aircraft and reduces dependence on external ground equipment.

[0003] However, not all aircraft models are equipped with an APU system. In order to improve the aircraft's safety performance and air emergency response capabilities, it is usually necessary to additionally install an APU system on models that do not have an APU system. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to provide a device that can supply oil to the APU system after the APU system is installed. Utility Model Content
