[0042] The technical solution will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a temporary storage device for a car fuel tank cap at a gas station includes a fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 installed on the fuel nozzle body, comprising: a fuel nozzle body 1, a fuel nozzle trigger 2, an inlet pipe 3, an outlet pipe 4, an outlet nozzle 5, a fuel tank cap storage bracket 6, a fuel tank cap storage support 61, a fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7, a countersunk hole 71, a bolt 72, a nut 73, a bracket guard plate 8, a bracket slot 81, a fuel tank cap 9, a fuel tank cap sealing gasket 91, and a car 10.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the fuel tank cap receiving platform 61 has a semi-circular structure and is used to hold the automotive fuel tank cap. A bracket guard plate 8 is mounted on the fuel tank cap receiving platform 61, with its bottom connected to the top of the platform, to improve the stability of the fuel tank cap. The inner diameter of the bracket guard plate 8 is designed to match the outer diameter of the fuel tank cap sealing gasket. A bracket slot 81 is located at the top of the bracket guard plate 8, with an inner diameter smaller than that of the bracket guard plate 8, to prevent the fuel tank cap from slipping off the top.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7 is located below the fuel tank cap storage support 61. The fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7 has an inverted U-shaped opening. The inner diameter of the inverted U-shaped opening is adapted to the outer diameter of the fuel nozzle body. The fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7 is snapped onto the fuel nozzle body.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the opening of the fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7 is provided with a countersunk hole 71. The countersunk hole 71 is hexagonal. By tightening the bolts and nuts, the fuel tank cap storage device connection port 7 is fixed to the tail of the fuel nozzle body, ensuring the reliability and safety of the entire device during use.

[0048] The fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 is made of conductive material to prevent static electricity from causing safety accidents.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, before the temporary fuel tank cap storage device at the gas station is activated, the fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the fuel nozzle body 1. When a vehicle enters the gas station, and the gas station attendant approaches the vehicle's fuel tank with the fuel nozzle equipped with the fuel tank cap storage bracket 6, the fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 on the fuel nozzle body 1 immediately enters its working state. The fuel tank cap storage platform 61 on the fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 has a semi-circular structure, which is compatible with the outer diameter of the car's fuel tank cap 9. After the car owner or gas station attendant unscrews the fuel tank cap 9, there is no need to adjust the angle. Simply align the fuel tank cap 9 naturally with the semi-circular opening, and the fuel tank cap 9 will smoothly enter the fuel tank cap storage bracket 6 and be placed on the fuel tank cap storage platform 61, thanks to the fit between the opening and its own height.

[0050] After the fuel tank cap 9 is inserted into the storage bracket 6, the fuel tank cap sealing gasket 91 fits against the inner wall of the bracket guard plate 8, forming a semi-enclosed protection. This semi-enclosed protection effectively prevents the fuel tank cap 9 from shifting due to various movements during refueling. The top of the bracket guard plate 8 has a bracket slot 61 with an inner diameter smaller than that of the bracket guard plate 8. After the fuel tank cap 9 is inserted into the storage bracket 6, its edge fits perfectly into the bracket slot 61, preventing it from slipping off. Throughout the subsequent refueling process, the fuel tank cap 9 remains firmly held in the bracket slot 61. Even if the refueling nozzle shakes during normal refueling, the fuel tank cap 9 will not fall off and will always remain in a stable, stored state.

[0051] After refueling, the car owner or gas station attendant removes the fuel tank cap 9 from the semi-circular opening of the storage tray 6 and then puts it back into the vehicle's fuel tank. At this point, the entire fuel tank cap storage device is ready for the next use, and this cycle repeats efficiently and conveniently for every refueling operation at the gas station.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the fuel tank cap receiving platform 61 is provided with a platform recess 62 inside, which is used to collect the gasoline that remains on the fuel tank cap 9 and flows down.

[0054] The usage steps are the same as in Example 1. After the fuel tank cap 9 enters the storage bracket 6, the gasoline on its surface will naturally flow downward under the action of gravity and converge into the support recess 62 inside. The gasoline is safely stored in the support recess 62, which is convenient for staff to clean up.

[0055] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present application are only used for illustrative or explanatory purposes of the principles of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the present application. Therefore, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application. In addition, the appended claims of the present application are intended to cover all changes and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or the equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
