[0028] Embodiments

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 For an embodiment of the utility model, an engineering machinery fuel tank is provided, comprising: a storage unit 100 and a fuel supply unit 200;

[0030] The storage unit 100 comprises a fuel tank 101 and a fuel filler pipe 102 fixedly communicated at the top of the fuel tank 101, the top end of the fuel filler pipe 102 is provided with a sealing cover, the bottom of the fuel tank 101 is fixedly communicated with a fuel drain pipe 103, and the fuel drain pipe 103 is sleeved with a valve;

[0031] The fuel supply unit 200 comprises an oil box 201 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the fuel tank 101, the inner wall of the fuel filler pipe 102 is slidably provided with a sliding plate 202, the bottom of the sliding plate 202 is fixedly connected with a lifting rod 203, the top and bottom of the oil box 201 are both provided with oil holes, the lifting rod 203 passes through the two oil holes of the oil box 201 and is fixedly sleeved with two sealing plugs 204, the positions of the two sealing plugs 204 correspond to the two oil holes respectively, the bottom end of the lifting rod 203 is fixedly connected with a spring 205, the bottom of the oil box 201 is fixedly communicated with a secondary fuel pipe 206, one side of the secondary fuel pipe 206 is fixedly communicated with a fuel supply pipe 207, the bottom end of the secondary fuel pipe 206 is slidably penetrated by a piston rod 208, and the bottom end of the piston rod 208 is fixedly connected with a float 209.

[0032] The oil tank 101 is filled with fuel by inserting the oil gun into the oil filler pipe 102 and pressing the sliding plate 202 downward through the oil gun. When the sliding plate 202 moves downward, the bottom end of the lifting rod 203 is pressed downward to compress the spring 205, and the two sealing plugs 204 are lowered synchronously with the lifting rod 203, so that the two sealing plugs 204 no longer contact the oil holes of the oil box 201. At this time, fuel can enter the oil box 201 through the oil holes to ensure that the oil box 201 is filled with fuel. When the oil tank 101 is filled with fuel, the oil gun is removed and the sealing cover is covered. At this time, the spring 205 pushes the lifting rod 203 upward, so that the two sealing plugs 204 seal the two oil holes of the oil box 201.

[0033] When the oil tank 101 is filled with fuel, the float 209 is lifted by the buoyancy to drive the piston rod 208, so that the height of the piston rod 208 is higher than the height of the oil supply pipe 207, so that the fuel in the oil box 201 cannot be discharged through the oil supply pipe 207. When the engine consumes fuel, the fuel in the oil tank 101 is consumed first. When the fuel in the oil tank 101 decreases to the bottom of the auxiliary oil pipe 206, the fuel in the oil tank 101 is insufficient. When the fuel continues to decrease, the float 209 and the piston rod 208 decrease with the fuel. When the height of the piston rod 208 is lower than the height of the oil supply pipe 207, the fuel in the oil tank 101 is almost exhausted, so that the engine cannot support the car to continue driving. After driving, the engine power consumption is reduced. At this time, the auxiliary oil pipe 206 can discharge the fuel in the oil box 201 through the oil supply pipe 207.

[0034] The lower end of the oil supply pipe 207 is located above the oil discharge pipe 103. The oil supply pipe 207 can continuously supply a small amount of fuel to the oil discharge pipe 103 to ensure that part of the fuel in the oil circuit of the engine is retained to prevent a large amount of air from entering, thereby ensuring that the engine has enough fuel to start. When the oil tank 101 is filled with fuel again, the float 209 drives the piston rod 208 to float and the sealing plug 204 to descend, so as to supplement the fuel in the oil box 201.

[0035] In addition, the bottom of the sliding plate 202 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 210, the upper end of the rotating rod 210 penetrates through the sliding plate 202 and is fixedly connected with a knob 211, the bottom end of the rotating rod 210 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 212, the top of the oil box 201 is fixedly connected with a horn cover 213, and a plurality of through holes are formed in the side wall of the horn cover 213.

[0036] When the oil gun is not pressed against the sliding plate 202 downward, the sliding plate 202 is manually pushed downward, so that the sealing plug 204 is no longer in contact with the oil hole of the oil box 201, and when the limiting plate 212 is lowered into the oil tank 101 from the oil filler pipe 102, the knob 211 is rotated by the finger, the top of the knob 211 is provided with an anti-skid groove to facilitate the user to rotate the knob 211, and the knob 211 is rotated to control the angle of the limiting plate 212, and when the limiting plate 212 is rotated into the oil tank 101, the sliding plate 202 is no longer pressed, and at this time the spring 205 pushes the lifting rod 203 upward, so that the limiting plate 212 is tightly attached to the top of the inner cavity of the oil tank 101, so as to fix the position of the sealing plug 204, so that the sealing plug 204 cannot be inserted into the oil hole of the oil box 201, thereby facilitating the user to add the barrel of fuel to the oil tank 101, and when the oil tank 101 is full, the knob 211 is rotated again, so that the limiting plate 212 is in contact with the lifting rod 203, and at this time the limiting plate 212 is no longer in contact with the inner wall of the oil tank 101, and the spring 205 pushes the lifting rod 203 upward, so that the sealing plug 204 seals the oil box 201;

[0037] The horn cover 213 is located at the oil hole at the top of the oil box 201, and when the fuel is added to the oil tank 101, part of the fuel is gathered by the horn cover 213, so that the fuel quickly passes through the oil hole at the top of the oil box 201, and when the height of the oil tank 101 is higher than the bottom of the oil box 201, and the height of the fuel in the oil tank 101 is lower than the height of the oil box 201, so that the oil box 201 will preferentially supplement the fuel, so as to ensure that the height of the fuel in the oil box 201 is higher than the height of the oil tank 101, so that the oil box 201 has a large amount of fuel for the engine to use, and when the sealing plug 204 seals the oil box 201, the fuel remaining in the horn cover 213 is discharged through the through hole.

[0039] The bottom end of the straight pipe 104 is not in contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil tank 101, and the fuel in the oil tank 101 can enter the straight pipe 104 and drive the float plate 107 to float, so that the fuel in the straight pipe 104 is not violently shaken during the driving of the vehicle, the float plate 107 is in contact with the inner wall of the straight pipe 104, and the fuel in the straight pipe 104 is prevented from splashing everywhere through the float plate 107, and the oil level can be clearly visible on the liquid level rod 106 by using the float plate 107, the liquid level rod 106 is in the shape of an inverted T, the connecting cover 105 can be taken out of the straight pipe 104 by screwing, and the remaining amount of fuel in the oil tank 101 can be known by observing the oil mark on the rod surface of the liquid level rod 106.

[0040] The sampling bucket 108 is located at the bottom of the straight pipe 104, and when the liquid level rod 106 is taken out of the oil tank 101, the fuel at the bottom of the oil tank 101 can be carried by the sampling bucket 108, and the purity and quality of the fuel in the oil tank 101 can be easily judged by the user through the fuel sampled by the sampling bucket 108.

[0041] Further, the inner wall of the oil tank 101 is fixedly connected with a plurality of wave plates 109, and the side wall of each wave plate 109 is provided with a through hole.

[0042] The wave plates 109 can support the inner cavity of the oil tank 101, thereby improving the structural strength of the oil tank 101, and the fuel in the oil tank 101 can be shaken during the starting and braking of the vehicle, and the wave plates 109 can reduce the fluctuation and impact of the fuel in the oil tank 101, thereby reducing the damage caused by the impact to the oil tank 101, and the side wall of each wave plate 109 is provided with a through hole, and part of the fuel flows between the plurality of wave plates 109 through the through hole, so as to prevent the wave plates 109 from being damaged due to excessive impact at the connection between the wave plates 109 and the oil tank 101.

[0043] During use, the oil gun can be inserted into the oil filler pipe 102 by removing the sealing cover on the oil filler pipe 102, and the sliding plate 202 is pressed downward by the oil gun, so that the two sealing plugs 204 are lowered synchronously with the lifting rod 203, at this time the fuel is gathered by the horn cover 213 and enters the oil box 201 through the oil hole, when there is no oil gun, the sliding plate 202 is manually pushed downward and the knob 211 is rotated, so that the limiting plate 212 is tightly attached to the top of the inner cavity of the oil tank 101, so as to fix the position of the sealing plug 204, so that the sealing plug 204 cannot be inserted into the oil hole of the oil box 201, thereby facilitating the user to add the barrel fuel to the oil tank 101 by himself, when the oil tank 101 is full, the knob 211 is rotated again, so that the limiting plate 212 is in contact with the lifting rod 203, at this time the spring 205 pushes the lifting rod 203 upward, so that the two sealing plugs 204 seal the oil box 201;

[0044] When the oil tank 101 is filled with fuel, the sealing cover is closed, the float 209 drives the piston rod 208 to float by buoyancy, so that the fuel in the oil box 201 cannot be discharged through the oil supply pipe 207, when the fuel in the oil tank 101 decreases to the bottom of the auxiliary oil pipe 206, the float 209 and the piston rod 208 decrease with the fuel, when the height of the piston rod 208 is lower than the height of the oil supply pipe 207, the auxiliary oil pipe 206 can discharge the fuel in the oil box 201 through the oil supply pipe 207, the oil supply pipe 207 can continuously provide a small amount of fuel for the oil discharge pipe 103, thereby ensuring that the engine has enough fuel to start, the connecting cover 105 can be taken out from the straight pipe 104 through the spiral connecting cover 105, the remaining amount of fuel in the oil tank 101 can be known by observing the oil mark on the rod surface of the liquid level rod 106, the fuel sampled by the sampling bucket 108 can facilitate the user to judge the purity and quality of the fuel in the oil tank 101.
