Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a drain structure for a liquid reservoir. Background Technology

[0002] To protect the environment, countries around the world have successively introduced exhaust emission standards and regulations. Increasingly stringent emission regulations make it difficult for simple in-engine purification technologies to meet the requirements, necessitating the use of external after-treatment technologies. Currently, major domestic automakers primarily use SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology to control nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines. These products are suitable for pickup trucks, tractors, buses, and other applications.

[0003] In SCR systems, urea tanks are typically used to store urea solution. These tanks usually have a drain mechanism at the bottom to release the urea solution when necessary. Existing urea tank drain mechanisms typically use a drain bolt at the drain port. Drainage is achieved by simply loosening the drain bolt to release any remaining urea solution.

[0004] However, during the urea discharge process, a wrench is required to operate the drain plug. Since the urea tank is typically located at the bottom of the vehicle frame, operating the wrench from there presents inconvenience. Furthermore, the limited operating space makes it easy to misjudge the rotation direction of the drain plug, leading to stripping or damage to the threads due to tightening in the wrong direction. Additionally, the urea tank drain plug sealing structure requires extra auxiliary tools, and because the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the frame, this adds to the cumbersome and inconvenient operation.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a liquid storage tank drainage structure that is simple and convenient to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the first groove segment and the second groove segment are symmetrically arranged on the pressing member, and the ends of the two first groove segments away from the drain port are connected, and the ends of the two second groove segments away from the drain port are connected.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic locking assembly further includes an elastic element that abuts against the pressing member and the drain mounting assembly along the moving direction of the pressing member, and the elastic element is used to keep the movable trajectory member in the first locking position or the second locking position.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5The liquid storage tank drainage structure 100 of this utility model includes a liquid storage tank body 1 and a drainage switch mechanism 2. The liquid storage tank body 1 has a liquid storage space 11 and an installation port 12 communicating with the liquid storage space 11. The drainage switch mechanism 2 includes a drainage installation component 21, a pressing component 22 and an elastic locking component 23. The drainage installation component 21 is disposed in the installation port 12. The end of the drainage installation component 21 near the outside has a drainage port 211a. The interior of the drainage installation component 21 has a drainage space 211b. The liquid storage space 11 and the drainage port 21 are connected. Space 211b and drain port 211a are connected to form a drain channel; pressing member 22 passes through drain port 211a and is movably and adjustablely disposed in drain space 211b, and pressing member 22 has a first state of opening drain port 211a and a second state of blocking drain port 211a; elastic locking component 23 is connected between pressing member 22 and drain mounting component 21; by driving pressing member 22 to move, the elastic locking component 23 is driven to move, so that the elastic locking component 23 locks pressing member 22 in the first state or the second state.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pressing member 22 is in the first state. The pressing member 22 opens the drain port 211a, which is connected to the outside. This allows the drain channel formed by the liquid storage space 11, the drain space 211b, and the drain port 211a to be connected to the outside, so that the liquid in the liquid storage space 11 can be discharged to the outside through the drain channel.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing member 22 is in the second state, and the pressing member 22 blocks the drain port 211a, thereby preventing the liquid in the liquid storage space 11 from being discharged to the outside through the drain channel.

[0037] Specifically, the liquid referred to in this embodiment can be urea solution, methanol or other fuel liquids, but is not limited thereto.

[0038] When the pressing member 22 is in the first state, if it is necessary to block the drain port 211a, the pressing member 22 of the drain switch mechanism 2 can be pressed to drive the pressing member 22 to move, thereby driving the elastic locking component 23 to act. When the pressing member 22 moves to the position corresponding to the second state, the elastic locking component 23 locks the position of the pressing member 22 to lock the pressing member 22 in the second state, thereby blocking the drain port 211a. When the pressing member 22 is in the second state, if it is necessary to open the drain port 211a, the pressing member 22 of the drain switch mechanism 2 can be pressed again to drive the pressing member 22 to move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the elastic locking component 23 to act. When the pressing member 22 moves to the position corresponding to the first state, the elastic locking component 23 locks the position of the pressing member 22 to lock the pressing member 22 in the first state, thereby opening the drain port 211a.

[0039] The mounting port 12 can be located at the bottom of the liquid storage tank body 1 so that the liquid in the liquid storage space 11 can be discharged through the drainage channel of the drainage switch mechanism 2, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the mounting port 12 can also be located on the side wall of the liquid storage tank body 1.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the elastic locking component 23 includes a movable track member 231. One end of the movable track member 231 is inserted into the drain mounting component 21. The pressing member 22 is provided with a movable track groove 221. The other end of the movable track member 231 is movably inserted into the movable track groove 221. The movable track member 231 has a first locking position and a second locking position in the movable track groove 221. By driving the pressing member 22 to move, the movable track member 231 is moved to the first locking position or the second locking position, thereby locking the pressing member 22 in the first state or the second state. Specifically, the movable track groove 221 includes a first groove segment 221a extending from the end away from the drain port 211a towards the drain port 211a, and a second groove segment 221b extending away from the end of the first groove segment 221a near the drain port 211a. When the movable track member 231 is engaged at the end of the first groove segment 221a away from the drain port 211a, the movable track member 231 is in a first engaging position; when the movable track member 231 is engaged at the end of the second groove segment 221b away from the drain port 211a, the movable track member 231 is in a second engaging position. More specifically, the first groove segment 221a and the second groove segment 221b are symmetrically arranged on the pressing member 22, and the ends of the two first groove segments 221a away from the drain port 211a are connected, and the ends of the two second groove segments 221b away from the drain port 211a are connected, but this is not a limitation.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the movable trajectory component 231 is engaged at the end of the first groove section 221a away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory component 231 is in the first engaging position, thereby locking the pressing component 22 in the first state; as Figure 4 As shown, the movable trajectory component 231 is engaged at the end of the second groove section 221b away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory component 231 is in the second engagement position, thereby locking the pressing component 22 in the second state.

[0042] Furthermore, the elastic locking assembly 23 also includes an elastic element 232, which abuts against the pressing member 22 and the drain mounting assembly 21 along the moving direction of the pressing member 22. The elastic element 232 is used to keep the movable trajectory member 231 in the first locking position or the second locking position. However, this is not a limitation. For example, in other alternative embodiments, the elastic locking assembly 23 may only have the movable trajectory member 231 without the elastic element 232, and the movable trajectory member 231 may be configured as an elastic structure.

[0043] When the pressing member 22 needs to switch from the first state to the second state, the pressing member 22 of the drain switch mechanism 2 is pressed to drive the pressing member 22 to move. During the movement of the pressing member 22, the pressing member 22 squeezes the elastic member 232. The movable trajectory member 231 first moves from the first locking position along the first groove section 221a, and then at the position where the first groove section 221a and the second groove section 221b are connected, the movable trajectory member 231 moves into the second groove section 221b under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 232, and finally locks at the end of the second groove section 221b away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory member 231 is in the second locking position and locks the pressing member 22 in the second state, thereby making the pressing member 22 block the drain port 211a. Among them, the drain switch mechanism 2 from Figure 2 The structure shown is switched to Figure 4 The structure shown.

[0044] When the pressing member 22 needs to switch from the second state to the first state, the pressing member 22 of the drain switch mechanism 2 is pressed to drive the pressing member 22 to move. During the movement of the pressing member 22, the pressing member 22 squeezes the elastic member 232. The movable trajectory member 231 first moves from the second locking position along the second groove section 221b, and then at the position where the first groove section 221a and the second groove section 221b are connected, the movable trajectory member 231 moves into the first groove section 221a under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 232, and finally locks at the end of the first groove section 221a away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory member 231 is in the first locking position and locks the pressing member 22 in the first state, thereby causing the pressing member 22 to open the drain port 211a. Among them, the drain switch mechanism 2 from Figure 4 The structure shown is switched to Figure 2 The structure shown.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the drainage installation assembly 21 includes a drainage base 211 and a sleeve 212. The drainage base 211 is disposed within the installation port 12, and a drainage port 211a and a drainage space 211b are formed on the drainage base 211. The sleeve 212 is disposed within the drainage space 211b and is fixedly connected to the drainage base 211. The sleeve 212 has a guide hole 212a, and a pressing member 22 is movably and adjustably inserted into the guide hole 212a. One end of the movable trajectory member 231 is inserted into the sleeve 212. Further, the side wall of the drainage base 211 has a plurality of openings 211c arranged around the drainage space 211b, and the openings 211c communicate between the drainage space 211b and the liquid storage space 11.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the sleeve 212 is located in the drain space 211b, and the other end of the sleeve 212 is located in the liquid storage space 11. The guide hole 212a is connected to the liquid storage space 11. One end of the movable track member 231 passes through the guide hole 212a and is inserted into the end of the sleeve 212 located in the liquid storage space 11.

[0047] Furthermore, the drain switch mechanism 2 also includes an anti-disengagement ring 24, which is sleeved on the movable track member 231 and the end of the sleeve 212 located in the liquid storage space 11. The anti-disengagement ring 24 is used to prevent the movable track member 231 from disengaging from the sleeve 212. Since one end of the movable track member 231 is inserted into the end of the sleeve 212 located in the liquid storage space 11, in order to prevent the movable track member 231 from disengaging from the sleeve 212, the anti-disengagement ring 24 is provided to press and limit the end of the movable track member 231 on the sleeve 212, thereby preventing the movable track member 231 from disengaging from the sleeve 212.

[0048] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the drain switch mechanism 2 further includes a limiting pin 25. The side wall of the sleeve 212 has an insertion hole 212b, and the side wall of the pressing member 22 has a limiting groove 222 along its moving direction. The limiting pin 25 passes through the insertion hole 212b and is inserted into the limiting groove 222. When the pressing member 22 is driven to move relative to the sleeve 212, relative sliding occurs between the limiting groove 222 and the limiting pin 25 on the pressing member 22. Under the action of the limiting pin 25 and the limiting groove 222, the moving distance of the pressing member 22 can be limited.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the drain switch mechanism 2 further includes a sealing ring 26, which is sleeved on the pressing member 22. When the pressing member 22 is in the second state, the sealing ring 26 seals between the outer wall of the pressing member 22 and the inner wall of the drain port 211a, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pressing member 22 when blocking the drain port 211a. When the pressing member 22 is in the first state, the sealing ring 26 is disengaged from the drain port 211a.

[0050] Combination Figures 1 to 8 The specific working principle of the liquid storage tank drainage structure 100 of this utility model is as follows:

[0051] When the pressing member 22 is in the first state, pressing the pressing member 22 drives it to move. During the movement of the pressing member 22, the pressing member 22 squeezes the elastic member 232. The movable trajectory member 231 first moves from the first locking position along the first groove segment 221a on the left or right side. Then, at the position where the first groove segment 221a and the second groove segment 221b are connected, the movable trajectory member 231 moves into the corresponding second groove segment 221b under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 232. Finally, it is locked at the end of the second groove segment 221b away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory member 231 is in the second locking position and locks the pressing member 22 in the second state, thereby blocking the drain port 211a and preventing the liquid in the liquid storage space 11 from being discharged to the outside through the drain channel.

[0052] When the pressing member 22 is in the first state, pressing the pressing member 22 drives it to move. During the movement of the pressing member 22, the pressing member 22 squeezes the elastic member 232. The movable trajectory member 231 first moves from the second locking position along the second groove segment 221b on the left or right side. Then, at the position where the second groove segment 221b connects with the first groove segment 221a, the movable trajectory member 231 moves into the corresponding first groove segment 221a under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 232. Finally, it is locked at the end of the first groove segment 221a away from the drain port 211a. At this time, the movable trajectory member 231 is in the first locking position and locks the pressing member 22 in the first state, thereby opening the drain port 211a. This allows the drain channel formed by the liquid storage space 11, the drain space 211b, and the drain port 211a to connect with the outside. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage space 11 can be discharged to the outside through the drain channel.

[0053] In summary, the liquid storage tank drainage structure 100 of this utility model features simple and convenient drainage operation, requiring no additional filling auxiliary tools, greatly improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance, and providing good error-proofing while achieving rapid liquid drainage. Secondly, the drainage switch mechanism 2 of the liquid storage tank drainage structure 100 of this utility model adopts a press-and-rebound reciprocating structure with a built-in anti-disengagement pressure ring, ensuring smooth and stable operation of the mechanism and effectively improving the service life of the drainage switch mechanism 2.

[0054] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
