[0031] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a refueling connector, including an inlet section 2 at the upper end of the connector body 1, an outlet section 3 at the lower end of the connector body 1, a filter structure 4 on the inner side of the inlet section 2, and a sealing device 5 on the side wall of the outlet section 3.
[0032] The following section will explain the specific setup and function of its filter structure 4 and sealing device 5.
[0033] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment: the filter structure 4 includes an installation ring 401 located at the port of the inlet section 2. A fixed mesh cover 402 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the installation ring 401. The fixed mesh cover 402 is a hollow frustum structure. A connecting ring 403 is fixedly installed at the lower port of the fixed mesh cover 402. A docking ring 404 is provided on the lower surface of the connecting ring 403. A soft mesh cover 405 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the docking ring 404. By setting the filter structure 4, a detachable filter structure 4 is provided without changing the shape of the existing filter structure 4, which improves the processing efficiency of oil residue in dead corners and improves the performance of the connector body 1 to a certain extent. Two positioning pins 410 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the docking ring 404, and two positioning holes 411 are opened on the lower surface of the connecting ring 403. The size of the positioning holes 411 is adapted to the size of the positioning pins 410. When cleaning the filter structure 4 is required, since the upper surface of the docking ring 404 is fixedly installed with a positioning pin 410, and the lower surface of the connecting ring 403 has a positioning hole 411 that matches its size, it is only necessary to separate the docking ring 404 and the connecting ring 403. A support bar 406 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting ring 401. A hook frame 407 is slidably connected inside the support bar 406. The hook frame 407 consists of a U-shaped frame and two hook bars. A T-shaped rod 409 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the soft mesh cover 405. The T-shaped rod 409 is sleeved on the inner side of the two hook bars on the hook frame 407. Pulling up the soft mesh cover 405 allows it to be adjusted into a conical structure. A drive rod 408 is threadedly connected inside the support bar 406. The drive rod 408 is rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped frame on the hook frame 407. Rotating the drive rod 408 will cause the hook frame 407 to slide along the support bar 406, thereby adjusting the soft mesh cover 405 to be pulled into a cone-shaped structure.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, specifically, the sealing device 5 includes a fixed plate 51 fixedly connected to the side wall of the outlet section 3. A limiting strip 53 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 51, and a circular block 54 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the limiting strip 53. A cover plate 55 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the circular block 54. By setting up the sealing device 5, flexible covering and protection of the outlet section 3 is facilitated. A screw 52 is threadedly connected inside the fixed plate 51, and the screw 52 is rotatably connected to the circular block 54. Rotating the screw 52 causes the circular block 54 to slide up and down along the fixed plate 51, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the cover plate 55. A sealing ring 56 is glued to the upper surface of the cover plate 55. The sealing ring 56 enhances the sealing effect and prevents fuel leakage.
[0035] Working principle: By setting up the filter structure 4, when using this refueling connector, fuel enters from the inlet section 2 of the connector body 1. The filter structure 4 inside the inlet section 2 begins to function. The fuel first undergoes preliminary filtration through the fixed mesh cover 402. The fixed mesh cover 402 has a hollow frustum structure, which increases the filtration area and improves filtration efficiency. The T-shaped rod 409 fixedly installed at the upper end of the soft mesh cover 405 is fitted inside the two hook bars of the hook frame 407. The drive rod 408, which is internally threaded to the support bar 406, is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame inside the hook frame 407. Rotating the drive rod 408 will cause the hook frame 407 to slide along the support bar 406, thereby adjusting the soft mesh cover 405 to be pulled into a conical structure. At this time, the structure formed by the fixed mesh cover 402 and the soft mesh cover 405 is the oil sludge in the prior art. In filter structure 4, oil residue accumulates between the soft mesh cover 405 and the fixed mesh cover 402. When cleaning filter structure 4 is required, first rotate the drive rod 408 to loosen the soft mesh cover 405, then remove the T-shaped rod 409 inside the hook frame 407. Since the upper surface of the docking ring 404 is fixedly installed with a positioning pin 410, and the lower surface of the connecting ring 403 is provided with a positioning hole 411 that matches its size, the soft mesh cover 405 can be removed for cleaning simply by separating the docking ring 404 and the connecting ring 403. This solves the problem of oil residue being difficult to clean in the dead corner of the filter screen in the prior art. By setting filter structure 4, without changing the shape of the existing filter structure 4, a detachable filter structure 4 is set, which facilitates the processing efficiency of oil residue in the dead corner and improves the performance of the connector body 1 to a certain extent.
[0036] By setting the sealing device 5, the fuel flows out from the outlet section 3 after being filtered. When the refueling connector is not in use, the sealing device 5 on the side wall of the outlet section 3 can play a sealing role. Rotating the screw 52 will drive the circular block 54 to slide up and down along the fixed plate 51, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the cover plate 55. The upper surface of the cover plate 55 is glued with a sealing ring 56. When the cover plate 55 is closed, the sealing ring 56 can enhance the sealing effect and prevent fuel leakage. After opening the cover plate 55, the cover plate 55 on the circular block 54 can be rotated to realize the twisting opening of the cover plate 55 at the outlet section 3. By setting the sealing device 5, the flexible covering and protection of the outlet section 3 is facilitated.
