Specific implementation

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects to be solved by the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 , now the fuel tank assembly provided by the utility model will be described. The fuel tank assembly comprises: a fuel tank body 1, a fixed partition plate 5, a movable gate plate 6 and an oil pump 2, a flow guide slope 13 is formed on the inner side of the tank bottom of the fuel tank body 1, so that the tank bottom forms a height difference; the fixed partition plate 5 is fixed in the interior of the fuel tank body 1, and separates the interior of the fuel tank body 1 into a low oil cavity 12 and a high oil cavity 11 by means of the height difference of the tank bottom; the lowest position of the low oil cavity 12 is lower than the lowest position of the high oil cavity 11; the fixed partition plate 5 is provided with a communication port 52 for communicating the low oil cavity 12 and the high oil cavity 11; the movable gate plate 6 is movably connected to the fixed partition plate 5, and opens or closes the communication port 52 through a drive mechanism; the oil pump 2 is installed in the low oil cavity 12.

[0026] The fuel tank assembly has the advantages that: (1) compared with the fuel tank with a flat bottom, the fuel tank body 1 is separated into a low oil cavity 12 and a high oil cavity 11 by the fixed partition plate 5 and the height difference of the tank bottom, when the vehicle runs on a slope, the movable gate 6 is closed or opened to communicate the oil cavities, so that the fuel is converged and stored in the low oil cavity 12 as much as possible, the oil amount in the low oil cavity 12 is not insufficient for the oil pump 2 due to the slope, the volume of invalid fuel in the fuel tank is reduced, and the climbing power of the vehicle and the fuel utilization rate are improved.

[0027] For example, if the fuel tank is separated into the low oil cavity 12 and the high oil cavity 11 by the fixed partition plate 5 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the low oil cavity 12 is located in front of the high oil cavity 11, when the vehicle climbs, the fuel in the low oil cavity 12 may flow into the high oil cavity 11 which is at a low position, at this time, the movable gate 6 needs to be closed to isolate the communication port 52 of the two oil cavities, so as to ensure that the oil amount in the low oil cavity 12 is supplied to the oil pump 2; conversely, when the vehicle descends, the high oil cavity 11 is at a higher position of the low oil cavity 12, at this time, the communication port 52 can be opened, so that the fuel in the high oil cavity 11 is converged and flows into the low oil cavity 12 as much as possible, and the oil amount of the oil pump 2 in the low oil cavity 12 is ensured.

[0028] If the low oil cavity 12 is located behind the high oil cavity 11, the communication port 52 is opened when the vehicle climbs, and the communication port 52 is closed when the vehicle descends.

[0029] The fixed partition plate 5 can also separate the fuel tank into the low oil cavity 12 and the high oil cavity 11 which are distributed left and right, and this case is suitable for the vehicle running on an inclined road.

[0030] (2) compared with the case that the fuel in the fuel tank is in a low oil amount, because the surface area of the fuel is large, the depth of the fuel with the same volume is shallow, and the oil pump 2 cannot be cooled, the fuel tank body 1 is separated into the low oil cavity 12 and the high oil cavity 11 with different height differences, the fuel tank with a large cross-sectional area is separated into small oil cavities with smaller cross-sectional areas, the cross-sectional areas of different oil cavities are reduced, when the oil amount in the fuel tank is small, the fuel with the same volume is collected in the low oil cavity 12 at a low position, the oil amount around the oil pump 2 has a certain depth under the condition that the cross-sectional area is reduced, so that the cooling effect of the oil pump 2 is ensured even when the fuel is in a low oil amount, the risk that the oil pump 2 is damaged due to low oil amount and overheating is avoided, the service life of the oil pump 2 is improved, and the risk of vehicle running failure is reduced.

[0031] (3) Compared with the large space inside the fuel tank that is not divided, when the fuel level in the fuel tank is half full or less, the range of fuel sloshing increases and the concentration of fuel vapor is high. In this application, when the fuel level in the fuel tank is low, the connecting port 52 is closed by the movable gate 6, which divides the fuel into different fuel chambers. This divides the originally large fuel chamber into smaller fuel chambers, thereby reducing the range of fuel sloshing, reducing the concentration of fuel vapor, ensuring the effectiveness of the fuel vapor recovery system, and avoiding the risk of fuel vapor leakage.

[0032] (4) Since the oil can flow between the high-level oil chamber and the low-level oil chamber, the risk of oil and gas aging can be avoided, and the utilization efficiency of fuel can be improved.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 4, a transmission gear 8, and a transmission rack 7. The drive motor 4 is mounted on the outside of the fuel tank body 1, the transmission gear 8 is mounted on the main shaft of the drive motor 4, and the transmission rack 7 is mounted on the movable gate 6. The transmission gear 8 is located inside the fuel tank body 1 and meshes with the transmission rack 7. The drive motor 4 drives the movable gate 6 to slide back and forth along the fixed partition 5 through the rotation of the transmission gear 8, opening or closing the communication port 52. In this embodiment, the movable gate 6 is driven to open or close the communication port 52 through the transmission of the gear and rack.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the installation position of the drive motor 4 can be divided into two types. The first installation method is that the drive motor 4 can be installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1 (e.g., Figures 1 to 6 As shown), the movable gate 6 slides in the left-right direction perpendicular to the vertical direction of the vehicle; in the second installation method, the drive motor 4 is installed on the outer side (left or right side) of the fuel tank body 1, the transmission rack 7 is installed in the vertical direction, and the movable gate 6 slides back and forth in the vertical direction. When the movable gate 6 slides upward, the connecting port 52 is opened, and when the movable gate 6 moves downward, the connecting port 52 is closed.

[0035] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the fuel connection between the low-level oil chamber 12 and the high-level oil chamber 11, the connection port 52 needs to be located close to the bottom of the fuel tank body 1 to ensure the flow of fuel when the fuel level is low.

[0036] The driving mechanism can also adopt the following structure, i.e., embodiment 2 of the driving mechanism (the driving mechanism of the rack is embodiment 1): the driving mechanism adopts the screw-nut cooperation mode, and the driving mechanism still comprises the driving motor 4, the screw rod connected with the main shaft of the driving motor 4, and the nut cooperating with the screw rod; the screw rod rotates with the main shaft of the driving motor 4, and the nut moves linearly with the rotation of the screw rod due to being connected with the movable shutter 6, thereby driving the movable shutter 6 connected with the nut to reciprocate and slide, and opening or closing the communication port 52 on the fixed partition plate 5. The screw rod extends into the fuel tank body 1, and both ends of the screw rod are rotationally connected with the support provided on the fixed partition plate 5. The installation mode of the driving motor 4 can also be installed on the top or side of the fuel tank body 1.

[0037] Embodiment 3 of the driving mechanism: the driving mechanism can also adopt an electric push rod, a gas cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or other linear driver to directly drive the movable shutter to reciprocate and linearly slide, and open or close the communication port 52.

[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the fixed partition plate 5 is provided with a travel switch 9 limiting the opening degree of the movable shutter 6. At this time, the travel switch 9 is arranged in the opening direction of the movable shutter, and the travel switch 9 is touched when the movable shutter 6 is opened to the limit position, and then the driving motor 4 stops running, thereby avoiding the risk that the sliding way 51 of the movable shutter 6 and the fixed partition plate 5 is separated, and achieving the protection effect of the movement of the movable shutter 6. The travel switch 9 and the driving motor 4 are in signal communication through the controller 3.

[0039] The application can also install a position sensor on the fixed partition plate 5 to replace the travel switch 9, and achieve the function of limiting the opening degree of the movable shutter 6.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6, the elastic member 10 is connected to the end of the movable gate 6 away from the travel switch 9, and the extension direction of the elastic member 10 is consistent with the sliding direction of the movable gate 6. When the movable gate 6 is opened, the elastic member 10 is stretched, and the elastic member 10 can store elastic energy. When the movable gate 6 is closed to connect the opening 52, the elastic member 10 can be reset to release the elastic energy to quickly close the opening 52 to quickly cut off the oil liquid, thereby preventing the oil liquid flowing from the low oil cavity to the low oil cavity when the vehicle is instantaneously jolted and vibrated. Therefore, the elastic member 10 assists the closing of the movable gate 6 to shorten the closing time of the movable gate 6. In particular, the elastic member 10 is a mechanical structure, and if the electric control of the driving motor 4 fails instantaneously, the elastic member 10 can still drag the movable gate 6 to quickly close the opening 52. The fixed partition 5 and the movable gate are respectively provided with a hanging ring connected to the elastic member 10, and the elastic member 10 is a spring or a spring rope.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the fixed partition 5 is provided with a sliding channel 51, and the movable gate 6 is slidably connected with the sliding channel 51. The sliding channel 51 has a guiding and limiting effect on the sliding of the movable gate 6, and the movable gate 6 is connected with the fixed partition 5 by sliding. The driving motor 4 drives the movable gate 6 to reciprocate along the sliding channel 51 to open or close the opening 52.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the opening 52 is a rectangular hole, and the sliding channel 51 is symmetrically arranged on the opposite two long sides or two short sides of the rectangular hole. According to the sliding direction of the movable gate 6 that can slide up and down and slide left and right, when the long side of the rectangular hole is consistent with the left-right direction and the short side is consistent with the up-down direction, the sliding channel 51 is arranged on the long side, and the movable gate 6 slides in the left-right direction. At this time, the driving motor 4 is installed on the top of the fuel tank body 1, which conforms to the embodiment 1 of the driving mechanism. Based on this arrangement of the rectangular hole, the sliding channel 51 can also be arranged on the two short sides of the rectangle, and at this time, the sliding channel 51 extends in the up-down direction, and the movable gate 6 slides in the up-down direction. At this time, the driving motor 4 is installed on the side of the fuel tank body 1. Of course, the rectangular hole can be arranged in a manner that the long side is consistent with the up-down direction and the short side is consistent with the left-right direction.

[0043] Alternatively, the opening 52 can also be a circular hole, a polygonal hole, etc. without limitation.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the fixed partition plate 5 is provided with a plurality of communication ports 52, the plurality of communication ports 52 are different in height, and the communication port 52 in the lowest position is close to the tank bottom of the fuel tank body 1; the movable shutter 6 comprises a connecting plate and branch plates corresponding to the closing of the communication ports 52. The transmission rack 7 is fixed on the connecting plate, and the branch plates are simultaneously slid by the connecting plate to open or close the communication ports 52.

[0046] When a plurality of communication ports 52 are provided, an independent movable shutter 6 can be provided on each communication port, and a linear actuator can be provided for each movable shutter 6, so that the opening or closing action of the movable shutter on each communication port 52 can be performed independently. For example, each movable shutter 6 is closed or opened by a respective electric push rod, so that the high-position communication port or the low-position communication port can be closed or opened respectively according to the need.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the slide 51 is a bent plate fixed on the fixed partition plate 5, and the bent plate and the fixed partition plate 5 form a sliding groove for the sliding of the movable shutter 6.

At this time, the inverted trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid or an unequal trapezoid. At this time, the two fixed partition plates 5 divide the fuel tank body 1 into two high-position oil chambers 11 and one low-position oil chamber 12; the two high-position oil chambers 11 are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the low-position oil chamber 12. The bottom of the high-position oil chamber 11 is the flow guide inclined surface 13, and the bottom of the low-position oil chamber 12 is the lower bottom of the trapezoid.
