[0032] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 This application illustrates a methanol-gasoline dual-fuel converter provided in an embodiment of the present application. It is suitable for converting electronic fuel injection engine vehicles, carburetor models, etc., to use methanol gasoline. In scenarios with high daily mileage, it has significant economic advantages. Specifically, it includes: converter body 1, Z-shaped outer frame 2, and stabilizing clip 4.

[0033] The converter body 1 includes: a main control module, a wiring harness interface, and a remote control switch. The main control module contains a microprocessor and a chip system, which are used to dynamically adjust data and are responsible for signal processing and parameter correction. The wiring harness connects to the original vehicle fuel injector plug to realize signal interception and transmission, and transmits the signal to the converter body 1. The converter body 1 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] A U-shaped outer frame 2 is installed on the outside of the converter body 1 for mounting the converter body 1. Notches 1a are provided at both ends of the top of the converter body 1. A bending part 2a is fixedly provided at the end of the U-shaped outer frame 2 and inside the notch 1a. The two sides of the U-shaped outer frame 2 can restrict / clamp the converter body 1. Then, the bending part 2a and the notch 1a are used to restrict the converter body 1 from sliding along the length of the U-shaped outer frame 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the converter body 1 after installation and avoiding the impact of vibration during vehicle operation on the stability of the converter body 1. A plug-in wiring harness 3 is inserted into the converter body 1. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the plug-in wiring harness 3 and the converter body 1, a stabilizing clip 4 is provided between the plug-in wiring harness 3 and the U-shaped outer frame 2.

[0035] This utility model improves the structure of the U-shaped outer frame 2 by bending both ends to form bent portions 2a, and optimizes the outer shell of the converter body 1 by forming notches 1a at the top of both ends. During installation, the bent portions 2a are inserted into the inside of the notches 1a, thereby ensuring the stability of the converter body 1 and the U-shaped outer frame 2 after installation. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the plug-in wiring harness 3 and the converter body 1, a stabilizing clip 4 is provided between the plug-in wiring harness 3 and the U-shaped outer frame 2 to prevent the plug-in wiring harness 3 from falling off.

[0036] In one embodiment, the stabilizing clip 4 specifically includes: a Z-shaped plate frame 401 and a cross frame 402.

[0037] The upper horizontal part of the Z-shaped plate frame 401 is vertically inserted into the U-shaped outer frame 2, and the lower horizontal part of the Z-shaped plate frame 401 is vertically inserted into the connector harness 3. After installation, the Z-shaped plate frame 401 restricts the connector harness 3 from sliding laterally with the U-shaped outer frame 2. One end of the horizontal frame 402 is riveted to the Z-shaped plate frame 401, and the other end of the horizontal frame 402 is fixedly provided with a latch 403. The end of the bent part 2a is provided with a secondary bent part 2a1, which corresponds to the latch 403. The design of the bent part 2a is to prevent its end from facing the converter body 1, and to facilitate the installation of the horizontal frame 402. The horizontal frame 402 restricts the Z-shaped plate frame 401 from sliding up and down, that is, after the Z-shaped plate frame 401 is installed, it will not fall off automatically.

[0038] One vertical insertion method is as follows: a vertical insertion part is fixedly installed on the U-shaped outer frame 2 or the plug-in wiring harness 3, and insertion holes are opened on the lower horizontal part and the upper horizontal part of the stabilizing clip 4; another vertical insertion method is as follows: insertion holes are fixedly installed on the U-shaped outer frame 2 or the plug-in wiring harness 3, and vertical insertion parts are designed on the lower horizontal part and the upper horizontal part of the stabilizing clip 4.

[0039] In one embodiment, in order to reduce the vibration transmission between the bottom of the converter body 1 and the contact part of the vehicle body, an elastic support pad 5 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the converter body 1. The elastic support pad 5 is made of high temperature resistant rubber, has a strip structure, and multiple elastic support pads 5 are provided.

[0040] In one embodiment, the side of the Z-shaped outer frame 2 is provided with a glue-containing part 2b. The glue-containing part 2b is formed by stamping process. The glue-containing part 2b opens towards the inner side of the Z-shaped outer frame 2. The glue-containing part 2b is filled with glue. When installing the converter body 1, glue is filled into the glue-containing part 2b, and then it is put on the outside of the converter body 1 and then installed on the vehicle body.

[0041] In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the converter body 1 has good heat dissipation, a heat dissipation hole 2d is provided on the top of the U-shaped outer frame 2.

[0042] In one embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 2c are provided on the foot surface of the Z-shaped outer frame 2, which can be installed using bolts / screws.
