Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel filters that prevent backflow, and more specifically, to a fuel filter that prevents backflow. Background Technology

[0002] A fuel filter is a component in the automotive industry that filters out particulate matter and impurities from fuel, preventing wear and damage to other parts of the vehicle's fuel system. It is an essential part of the fuel system and an indispensable component in the automotive industry.

[0003] Its fuel filter is connected in series between the fuel pump and the throttle body inlet. The function of the fuel filter is to remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing clogging of the fuel system (especially the fuel injectors). It also reduces mechanical wear, ensures stable engine operation, and improves reliability. The fuel filter structure consists of an aluminum shell and a stainless steel bracket. High-efficiency filter paper discs, arranged in a chrysanthemum shape, are mounted on the bracket to increase the flow area. Electronic fuel injection filters are not interchangeable with carburetor filters. Because electronic fuel injection filters often withstand fuel pressures of 200-300 kPa, their pressure resistance is generally required to be above 500 kPa, while carburetor filters do not need to meet such high pressure requirements.

[0004] In existing fuel filters, the more impurities accumulate inside the filter element during long-term use, the easier it is for fuel to flow back during fuel intake. This utility model, authorized by CN220646088U, relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a fuel filter to prevent backflow. It includes a lower housing and an upper housing. The top of the lower housing is threadedly connected to the upper housing, and the top of the upper housing has a fuel outlet. The bottom of the lower housing is threadedly connected to a sealing cap. Filter cotton is snapped into the interior of the lower housing. The internal movable installation includes cleaning scrapers located below the filter cotton, and a driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the cleaning scrapers. The side of the lower housing is fixedly connected to an oil inlet guide pipe. This backflow-preventing fuel filter uses a one-way sealing ball and a compression spring installed on the oil inlet guide pipe. When oil is being introduced, the fuel pressure pushes the one-way sealing ball to move and allow oil to enter. When oil is stopped, the compression spring applies elastic force to the one-way sealing ball, causing the one-way sealing ball to fit against the sealing concave surface on the connecting cap, thus sealing the oil inlet position of the connecting cap.

[0005] The aforementioned patent uses a ball head seal for one-way sealing, which has a small contact area and poor sealing performance. In addition, the mechanism is an integrated structure, and its one-way oil inlet component is complex, costly, and inconvenient to install, disassemble, and maintain. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-6A fuel filter for preventing backflow includes a fuel filter body 1, with a fuel filter element body 2 disposed on the inner surface of the fuel filter body 1 (common materials for fuel filter elements include filter paper, nylon cloth, and polymer materials; these materials are chosen to filter impurities in gasoline and ensure fuel cleanliness. In addition, fuel filter elements can also be made of the following materials: paper filter elements: characterized by high filtration accuracy and low cost, suitable for ordinary passenger cars; non-woven fabric filter elements: characterized by strong oil resistance and good adsorption capacity, suitable for applications requiring high filtration efficiency; glass fiber filter elements: characterized by high filtration accuracy, high temperature resistance, and good chemical stability, suitable for high-performance vehicles or diesel engines). An oil inlet guide pipe 3 is disposed on the upper surface of the fuel filter body 1. An oil outlet pipe 4 is provided on the outer side of the surface. A support plate 5 and a transition convex head 6 are placed on the upper surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3. A conical cavity 7 is provided on the inner surface of the transition convex head 6.

An insert rod 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the conical sealing block 8. A spring 10 is sleeved on the outer surface of the insert rod 9. An oil inlet opening 11 is opened on the surface of the support plate 5. A hexagonal concave sleeve 13 is sleeved on the outer surface of the transition convex head 6. The hexagonal concave sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the upper outer surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3. By using an transition convex head installed on the outside of the oil inlet guide pipe, the one-way valve core assembly structure is directly filled into the inner side of the transition convex head. It is easy to install and disassemble, and the mechanism is simple. It adopts a cone sealing block after contact and blocking seal, which has a large contact area and improves the sealing performance.

[0027] The inner surface of the hexagonal concave sleeve 13 is provided with internal threads, and the outer surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3 is provided with external threads. The inner surface of the hexagonal concave sleeve 13 is connected to the outer surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3 by threads, which facilitates twisting installation.

[0028] The oil inlet openings 11 are distributed on both sides of the support plate 5, with one side having a concave structure and the other side having a curved structure; this facilitates oil intake. When oil is being introduced, the fuel pushes open the conical sealing block 8 and can be discharged downwards, entering the oil inlet guide pipe 3 through the oil inlet opening 11, filtering the fuel inside the fuel filter body 1, and then exporting the filtered fuel through the oil outlet pipe 4.

[0029] In use, a support plate 5 and an adapter convex head 6 are placed on the upper surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3. A conical cavity 7 is provided on the inner surface of the adapter convex head 6.

The hexagonal concave sleeve 13 is threaded to the upper outer surface of the oil inlet guide pipe 3. It is easy to install. In use, when fuel enters, it can push open the conical sealing block 8. The conical sealing block 8 is squeezed by the spring 10. After being squeezed downward, oil enters. After oil enters, it rebounds. The conical sealing block 8 can fit tightly into the conical cavity 7 in the adapter convex head 6, which can fit and seal, improve the fitting area, and has strong sealing performance and prevents backflow.

[0030] The support plate 5 has an insertion hole 12 at the center of its surface, and the outer surface of the insertion rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the insertion hole 12; the insertion rod 9 can be slidably installed, making it easy to install and remove. The outer surface of the support plate 5 is covered with a rubber layer, and the outer surface of the conical sealing block 8 is covered with a rubber layer to increase the sealing performance.

[0031] The outer surface of the hexagonal recess 13 is set as a hexagonal truncated structure with hexagonal edge cutouts. When in use, the wrench can be used to easily twist and install and disassemble the hexagonal recess 13 by clamping it on the outer surface of the hexagonal truncated structure. It is easy to install and disassemble. After it is locked, it can be pressed to fix the adapter protrusion 6 and the support plate 5, and at the same time, it can be tightly installed and sealed.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
