[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-7A novel motorcycle connector includes a fuel tank body 1 and a chassis 2. The fuel tank body 1 contains a first main fuel line 3 and a first emergency fuel line 4. The height of the first main fuel line 3 is greater than the height of the first emergency fuel line 4. When the first main fuel line 3 is not receiving fuel, fuel can be supplied through the first emergency fuel line 4, serving as a warning to the driver that the fuel level is low. Two first conversion blocks 5 are located on the lower surface of the fuel tank body 1. Each of the two first conversion blocks 5 has a first flange 6 at one end facing each other. A first rubber gasket 7 is annularly positioned between the two first flanges 6, serving as a buffer and seal. Multiple first bolts 8 are located below the first flanges 6, with four bolts evenly spaced to ensure a secure connection between the two first conversion blocks 5. The upper ends of the bolts 8 penetrate both first flanges 6 and the first rubber gasket 7. Nuts 9 are threaded onto the upper ends of the bolts 8, facilitating quick and easy disassembly and installation of the first conversion blocks 5. Two conversion cavities 10 are located on the facing surfaces of the two first conversion blocks 5, accommodating a buffer block 13. The lower end of the first main oil pipe 3 penetrates the lower inner wall of the fuel tank body 1 and the upper surface of the first conversion block 5. The lower end of the first main oil pipe 3 is provided with a first top block 11. The lower end of the first emergency oil pipe 4 penetrates the lower inner wall of the fuel tank body 1 and the upper surface of the first conversion block 5. The lower end of the first emergency oil pipe 4 is provided with a first top block 11. A second top block 12 is provided below each of the two first top blocks 11. A buffer block 13 is provided between the first top block 11 and the second top block 12 on the same vertical line. A buffer cavity 14 is provided on the surface of each of the two buffer blocks 13. Fuel passes through the buffer cavity 14. The lower surface of the second top block 12 is provided with a second main oil pipe 15, and the lower surface of the other second top block 12 is provided with a second emergency oil pipe 16. The first main oil pipe 3 is connected to the second main oil pipe 15, and the first emergency oil pipe 4 is connected to the second emergency oil pipe 16. The first main oil pipe 3 and the second main oil pipe 15, and the first emergency oil pipe 4 and the second emergency oil pipe 16 are all flexibly connected by a buffer block 13. The buffer block 13 has a buffering function to prevent damage to the connection between the oil pipe and the oil tank when the motorcycle vibrates during driving.

[0023] The surface of the car body 2 is provided with multiple through holes, and the inner wall of each through hole is provided with a circumferential flange 17, which serves to install a buffer device. One end of the second main oil pipe 15 passes through a through hole, and one end of the second emergency oil pipe 16 passes through a through hole. A second conversion block 18 is connected to one end of the second main oil pipe 15 and the second emergency oil pipe 16. An oil outlet pipe 19 is connected to the surface of the second conversion block 18 near the body shell 2. A buffer device is provided between the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16 and the oil outlet pipe 19 and the folded edge 17. The second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16 and the oil outlet pipe 19 are flexibly connected to the body shell 2 through the buffer device. When the motorcycle vibrates during operation, the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16 and the oil outlet pipe 19 will squeeze the buffer device, which will not cause damage to the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16, the oil outlet pipe 19, the second conversion block, etc. The second conversion block 18 and the body shell 2 do not affect each other during vibration, thus extending the service life of the motorcycle connector.

[0024] A rotating cover plate 20 is rotatably connected to one side surface of the second conversion block 18. A fan-shaped groove 21 is provided on the side surface of the rotating cover plate 20 closest to the second conversion block 18, and a knob handle 22 is provided on the side surface of the rotating cover plate 20 furthest from the second conversion block 18. By rotating the knob handle 22, the fan-shaped groove 21 can be connected to the second main oil pipe 15 and the oil outlet pipe 19, in which case the second main oil pipe 15 supplies fuel to the oil outlet pipe 19; alternatively, the second emergency oil guide pipe 16 can be connected to the oil outlet pipe 19, in which case the second emergency oil guide pipe 16 supplies fuel to the oil outlet pipe 19; or the second emergency oil guide pipe 16 can be connected to the second main oil pipe 15, in which case neither the second main oil pipe 15 nor the emergency oil guide pipe 16 supplies fuel to the oil outlet pipe 19, and the system is closed.

[0025] The buffer device includes multiple sliders 23, each slider 23 having one end passing through the folded edge 17 and equipped with a connecting block 24. Each connecting block 24 has a fixing block 25 on one side surface. Springs 26 are sleeved around the sliders 23, with one end of the spring 26 connected to the surface of the slider 23 and the other end connected to the surface of the folded edge 17. When vibrations occur during motorcycle operation, the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16, and the oil outlet pipe 19 will compress the fixing block 25, which will be cushioned by the elastic force of the spring 26.

[0026] Each of the multiple fixing blocks 25 has a second rubber pad 27 on one side surface. The second rubber pad 27 serves to protect the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16, and the oil outlet pipe 19, and to prevent the fixing blocks 25 from damaging the oil pipes.

[0027] The second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16, and the oil outlet pipe 19 are all provided with two limiting blocks 28 in a ring on their surfaces, and a fixing block 25 is disposed between the two limiting blocks 28. The two limiting blocks 28 serve to facilitate the installation of the second main oil pipe 15, the second emergency oil pipe 16, and the oil outlet pipe 19, and also prevent the oil pipes from shifting.

[0028] Both the first main oil pipe 3 and the first emergency oil pipe 4 are annularly fitted with a first sealing gasket 29, which is located between the inner walls of the first top block 11 and the first conversion block 5. Similarly, both the second main oil pipe 15 and the second emergency oil pipe 16 are annularly fitted with a second sealing gasket 30, which is located between the inner wall of the second top block 12 and the lower inner wall of the first conversion block 5. The first sealing gasket 29 increases the seal between the first top block 11 and the conversion cavity 10, while the second sealing gasket 30 increases the seal between the second top block 12 and the conversion cavity 10.

[0029] A second flange 31 is annularly provided on the upper end of the first conversion block 5 near the fuel tank body 1. Multiple second bolts 32 are evenly arranged below the second flange 31, with four bolts 32 evenly distributed to ensure a secure installation between the first conversion block 5 and the fuel tank body 1. The upper ends of the multiple second bolts 32 pass through the second flange 31 and are threaded to the lower surface of the fuel tank body 1. The second bolts 32 passing through the second flange 31 and then threadedly connected to the fuel tank body 1 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the first conversion block 5.

[0030] Working principle: Fuel in the fuel tank body 1 enters the buffer chamber 14 through the first main fuel pipe 3, and then enters the second conversion block 18 through the second main fuel pipe 15. By rotating the knob handle 22, the rotating cover plate 20 is rotated, so that the fan-shaped groove 21 is in a state where the second main fuel pipe 15 and the fuel outlet pipe 19 are connected, and fuel flows out from the fuel outlet pipe 19. When the fuel level is lower than the first main fuel pipe 3, the knob handle 22 is rotated again, so that the rotating cover plate 20 is rotated, so that the fan-shaped groove 21 is in a state where the second emergency fuel guide pipe 16 and the fuel outlet pipe 19 are connected. At this time, fuel flows from the first emergency fuel guide pipe 4 into another buffer chamber 14, and then enters the second conversion block 18 through the second emergency fuel guide pipe 16, and then flows out through the fuel outlet pipe 19, prompting the driver to go to the nearest gas station for refueling as soon as possible.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
