A through hole is coaxially defined within the expansion sealing mechanism 2 for the oil dipstick handle A to pass through.

[0025] Its function is: when the oil dipstick handle A is rotated clockwise, the sealing ring 1 is compressed to ensure the waterproof seal between the oil dipstick handle A and the end cover B, effectively preventing water from entering the fuel filler pipe C from the fitting point below the oil dipstick handle A and above the end cover B. At the same time, it cooperates with the expansion sealing mechanism 2 to strengthen the waterproof sealing effect of the oil dipstick handle A installed on the fuel filler pipe B. The overall structure is easy to implement and has a good waterproof sealing effect.

[0028] The expansion sealing mechanism 2 disclosed in this embodiment includes, from top to bottom, a coaxially arranged limit section a, a guide sealing section b, an interference sealing section c, and a serrated section d. The outer diameter of the limit section a is larger than the outer diameter of the upper end of the fuel pipe C, so that when the oil dipstick handle A is screwed in and tightened, the expansion sealing mechanism 2 is always located inside the upper end of the fuel pipe C; the guide sealing section b is a circular arc designed on the outer periphery of the expansion sealing mechanism 2 at the corner where the fuel pipe C end and the expansion sealing mechanism 2 meet, which plays a guiding role when the expansion sealing mechanism 2 is inserted into the fuel pipe C. At the same time, the guide sealing section b matches the inner and outer fillet structure of the fuel pipe C end, and the fit of the inner and outer fillets increases the sealing effect; the outer periphery of the interference sealing section c is an interference fit with the inner wall of the fuel pipe C. , increasing the reliability of the seal of the fuel filler pipe C, and effectively preventing water from entering the fuel filler pipe C from between the end cover B and the fuel filler pipe C; there is a clearance fit between the outer periphery of the serrated segment d and the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe C, and a plurality of annular grooves are coaxially provided on the outer periphery of the serrated segment d. The serrated segment d and the fuel filler pipe C are clearance fit in the free state, which facilitates the easy installation of the expansion sealing mechanism 2 into the fuel filler pipe C. At the same time, when the expansion sealing mechanism 2 is compressed, the expansion sealing mechanism 2 can also be expanded with the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe C through interference, so that the oil dipstick assembly will not fall off from the fuel filler pipe C when tightened.

[0029] The material of the expansion sealing mechanism 2 disclosed in this embodiment can be selected from expansion rubber.

[0032] The lower end of the oil dipstick handle A passes through the sealing ring 1, end cap B, expansion seal mechanism 2, and threaded connection with the end of the oil dipstick D, forming the oil dipstick assembly. When the oil dipstick assembly is fully inserted into the opening of the fuel filler pipe C, rotate the oil dipstick handle A clockwise. The expansion seal mechanism 2 is compressed during rotation, increasing its diameter. The interference fit of the expansion seal section c of the expansion seal mechanism 2 and the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe C achieves a sealing effect. The serrated section d of the expansion seal mechanism 2 has a clearance fit with the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe 5. When the oil dipstick assembly is tightened, the serrated section d can expand and tighten against the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe 5.
