Specific embodiments

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , a device for preventing the backflow of washing liquid in a vehicle washer liquid adding pipe, including a liquid storage tank 1 and a liquid adding pipe 2. An installation groove 3 is provided on one side of the inner part of the liquid adding pipe 2 close to the liquid storage tank 1. A rotating shaft 4 is arranged inside the installation groove 3. The rotating shaft 4 can rotate in the installation groove 3, so that the anti-backflow cover 6 can rotate upward to open and rotate downward to close. A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 4. A anti-backflow cover 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the outside of the connecting plate 5 away from the rotating shaft 4. The anti-backflow cover 6 is used in cooperation with the liquid adding pipe 2 to block the liquid outlet of the liquid adding pipe 2 and prevent the washing liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 from gushing out from the liquid adding pipe 2 due to the inertia during the driving of the vehicle.

[0026] Further, a first counterweight 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the external part of the anti-backflow cover 6 close to the liquid adding pipe 2, and a second counterweight 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the external part of the anti-backflow cover 6 away from the liquid adding pipe 2. The first counterweight 7 and the second counterweight 8 are integrally formed with the anti-backflow cover 6. Under the action of the gravity of the first counterweight 7 and the second counterweight 8, the anti-backflow cover 6 can always be in a closed state, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing backflow.

[0027] Further, a positioning card slot 9 is formed inside the liquid adding pipe 2 and between the installation groove 3 and the anti-backflow cover 6. The positioning card slot 9 is communicated with the installation groove 3 and is used in cooperation with the connecting plate 5. Whether the anti-backflow cover 6 is in a closed state or an open state, the connecting plate 5 between the anti-backflow cover 6 and the rotating shaft 4 will always be inside the positioning card slot 9, so that the rotating shaft 4 in the installation groove 3 will not move axially, thereby preventing the anti-backflow cover 6 from being misaligned left and right with the liquid outlet of the liquid adding pipe 2.

[0028] Further, a maximum rotation angle limiting surface 10 is arranged on one side of the top of the connecting plate 5 close to the rotating shaft 4, and a limiting plane 11 is arranged on the side of the inside of the installation groove 3 away from the positioning card slot 9. The limiting plane 11 is used in cooperation with the maximum rotation angle limiting surface 10. By the mutual cooperation of the maximum rotation angle limiting surface 10 and the limiting plane 11, the rotation angle of the anti-backflow cover 6 can be limited, so that the rotation angle at which the anti-backflow cover 6 can be rotated and opened is less than 90 degrees.

[0029] Further, a reinforcing rib 12 is fixedly connected between the top of the connecting plate 5 and between the anti-backflow cover 6 and the maximum rotation angle limiting surface 10. The reinforcing rib 12 can improve the load-bearing capacity at the connection surfaces between the anti-backflow cover 6 and the connecting plate 5, and between the connecting plate 5 and the rotating shaft 4, improve the overall strength, avoid the occurrence of fracture, and help to extend the overall service life.

[0030] Further, the cross-section of the installation groove 3 is a circular structure. The installation groove 3 with a circular cross-section is adapted to the rotating shaft 4, so that the outer side wall of the rotating shaft 4 is closely attached to the inner side wall of the installation groove 3, which can play a role in limiting the rotating shaft 4 and preventing the rotating shaft 4 from moving radially. Furthermore, it can avoid the situation that the anti-backflow cover 6 is misaligned with the liquid outlet of the liquid adding pipe 2, and can ensure the sealing performance between the anti-backflow cover 6 and the liquid adding pipe 2 and guarantee the anti-backflow effect.

[0031] Usage steps of the present utility model: When the anti-backflow device for the washer fluid filling pipe of this vehicle is in use, when the user fills the washer fluid into the storage tank 1 through the filling pipe 2, the impact of the washer fluid will cause the anti-backflow cover 6 to rotate upward and open. At this time, the washer fluid flows into the storage tank 1. When the user stops filling the washer fluid, due to the gravitational action of the first counterweight 7 and the second counterweight 8 on the anti-backflow cover 6, the anti-backflow cover 6 will rotate downward to close. Even when the vehicle makes an emergency brake during driving, the anti-backflow cover 6 will block the washer fluid, so that the washer fluid will not enter the filling pipe 2 due to inertia, thus avoiding the situation where the washer fluid gushes out from the filling pipe 2.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only the preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
