Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of micro-tiller structure technology, specifically to a micro-tiller lampshade and a micro-tiller. Background Technology

[0002] A mini tiller is a small agricultural machine mainly used for cultivating small areas of farmland. Powered by a small diesel or gasoline engine, it boasts advantages such as small size, light weight, simple structure, and easy operation, making it suitable for agricultural activities in various settings including hilly areas, mountains, greenhouses, and orchards. Because the fuel tank on a mini tiller is exposed, gravel generated during operation can impact the fuel cap, easily damaging it. Therefore, a light cover is installed to shield the front and top of the fuel tank. However, this presents a problem: the fuel filler hole is located on the top of the fuel tank. After protecting the top of the tank with the light cover, it obstructs refueling. The light cover must be temporarily removed, fuel is added, and then it must be reinstalled on the frame, making refueling inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a simple structure for a mini-tiller lamp cover that can protect the fuel tank without hindering refueling.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A lamp cover for a micro-tiller includes a housing and a flip cover. The housing has a perforated hole in the middle. One side of the flip cover is rotatably connected to the housing, so that the flip cover can be flipped with the connection point between the flip cover and the housing as the fulcrum and can cover the upper surface of the housing to cover the perforated hole. The housing and the flip cover are respectively provided with buckles and latches. When the flip cover is closed on the upper surface of the housing, the housing and the flip cover can be locked together by the buckles and latches.

[0006] When in use, the tiller's light cover is fixed above the fuel tank via a bracket, aligning the perforated holes on the machine housing with the fuel filler hole on the top of the tank. When refueling is needed, flipping the cover on the machine housing exposes the perforated holes, allowing the fuel nozzle to directly pass through and refuel the filler hole below. After refueling, flipping the cover back onto the machine housing covers the perforated holes, protecting the fuel tank.

[0007] As an optimization, one or more recesses are provided at the rear edge of the housing, and a rotating shaft extending along the left-right direction of the housing is arranged within the recess. When there are multiple rotating shafts, the center lines of all rotating shafts are on the same straight line. The two ends of the rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the recesses. A J-shaped connector is formed by a protrusion at the rear edge of the flip cover corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft, extending into the corresponding recess. The hook part of the J-shaped connector is sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotates with the rotating shaft, so that the flip cover can rotate around the center line of the rotating shaft. The J-shaped connector can be easily installed on the rotating shaft and has the advantages of flexible and reliable rotation.

[0008] As an optimization, the latch includes two elastically deformable protrusions on the lower front surface of the flip cover. The two protrusions are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the flip cover. The distal ends of the two protrusions each protrude in opposite directions to form hooks. There are two latches located in front of the perforated hole. When the flip cover is closed on the housing, the protrusions can pass through the corresponding latches through their elastic deformation and be engaged with the lower surface of the housing by the hooks. The flip cover has operating holes on the opposite sides of the two protrusions. The operator inserts two fingers through the two operating holes and presses the two protrusions in opposite directions. The elastic deformation of the protrusions disengages the hooks from the housing, facilitating the opening of the flip cover.

[0009] As an optimization, the two protrusion bodies are arranged in an outward V-shape. This prevents the protrusion bodies from breaking due to excessive pressure from the operator, thus improving their service life.

[0010] As an optimization, the lower surface of the housing has raised ridges on one side of each of the two bayonet openings facing opposite directions, allowing the hooks to engage with the corresponding raised ridges. This improves the strength around the bayonet openings and prevents cracks from appearing at the engagement point.

[0011] As an optimization, a reinforcing rib extending along the edge of the operating hole is formed on the lower surface of the flip cover at the edge of the operating hole. This prevents damage caused by stress at the edge and improves service life.

[0012] As an optimization, positioning holes are respectively provided on the casing on the left and right sides of the hollowed-out hole. Positioning blocks are respectively protruded on the lower surface of the casing on the front and rear sides of the positioning holes. Positioning posts are respectively protruded on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the flip cover on the corresponding positions of the positioning holes. When the flip cover is closed on the casing, the positioning posts can pass through the corresponding positioning holes and abut against the inner surfaces of the two positioning blocks. With the left and right limiting of the two buckles and the front and rear limiting of the positioning posts, the flip cover is less likely to shake when the mini-tiller is working.

[0013] This utility model also discloses a mini-tiller, including a mini-tiller lamp cover as described above. The mini-tiller lamp cover is disposed above the fuel tank of the mini-tiller, and the hollow hole is located above the fuel filling hole of the mini-tiller fuel tank. The mini-tiller lamp cover is fixedly connected to the frame of the mini-tiller by a bracket.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model can protect the fuel tank while the micro-tiller is working, and can also flexibly open the flip cover when refueling is needed, and refueling can be carried out through the hollow hole. Its structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description
