[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model proposes an integrated fuel supply device for an aircraft piston engine, comprising an integrated housing 2 and an electric fuel pump 12, a check valve 11, and an internal channel 10 integrated therein. The two electric fuel pumps 12 are centrally symmetrical, with one end of each pump connected to the internal channel 10 and the other end connected to a connecting pipe 16. Check valves 11 are installed on the outer end faces of both sides of the internal channel 10, and both ends of the internal channel 10 are connected to the sides of the two connecting pipes 16. The upper opening of the integrated housing 2 is connected to the top cover 7 of the housing via disassembly and assembly components on both sides.
[0026] In this invention, when in use, fuel can enter through one of the connecting pipes 16, then pass through the electric fuel pump 12 and the internal channel 10, and finally be delivered to the aircraft piston engine through the other connecting pipe 16.
[0027] Furthermore, the design of dual electric fuel pumps 12 can serve as backups for each other. When one electric fuel pump 12 fails, the other can still continuously draw fuel from the fuel tank and pressurize and deliver it to the engine, thus avoiding fuel supply interruption.
[0028] Furthermore, the design of the dual check valves 11 allows them to work in conjunction with the dual electric fuel pumps 12, enabling the check valves 11 on both sides to be opened or closed in real time according to the on / off state of the dual electric fuel pumps 12.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, two openings 8 are provided through the side wall of the integrated housing 2, and two connecting pipes 16 pass through the openings 8 to the side wall of the integrated housing 2.
[0030] It should be noted that the inner diameter of opening 8 is larger than the outer diameter of connecting pipe 16.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the feed end of one electric fuel pump 12 is connected to the feed pipe connector 9 via a connecting pipe 16, and the discharge end of the other electric fuel pump 12 is connected to the discharge pipe connector 15 of the mounting bracket via another connecting pipe 16.
[0032] It should be noted that the connecting pipe 16 connected to the feed end of the electric fuel pump 12 is connected to the feed pipe through the feed pipe connector 9, and the other connecting pipe 16 connected to the discharge end of the electric fuel pump 12 is connected to the discharge pipe through the discharge pipe connector 15 of the mounting bracket. The discharge pipe can provide fuel supply for the aircraft piston engine.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the assembly includes a mounting base 4, a fixing bolt 5, a pin plate 6, and a socket 13. Both sides of the integrated housing 2 are connected to the mounting base 4, and both sides of the housing top cover 7 are connected to the pin plate 6. The pin plates 6 on both sides are inserted into the sockets 13 opened above the mounting bases 4 on both sides. The fixing bolt 5 passes through the side wall of the mounting base 4 and extends into the interior of the pin plate 6, and the fixing bolt 5 and the pin plate 6 are connected by threads.
[0034] It should be noted that when the top cover 7 of the box needs to be separated, the fixing bolts 5 on both sides are rotated to separate them from the pin plates 6, so that the pin plates 6 on both sides can be pulled out from the sockets 13 above the mounting bases 4 on both sides, thus separating the top cover 7 of the box from the integrated box 2; when the top cover 7 of the box needs to be installed, the pin plates 6 located on both sides of the top cover 7 are inserted into the sockets 13 of the mounting bases 4 on both sides, and the fixing bolts 5 are rotated in the opposite direction to limit the pin plates 6 within the sockets 13 of the mounting bases 4, thus realizing the installation of the pin plates 6.
[0035] The design incorporates a separate top cover 7 and an integrated housing 2, facilitating the inspection and replacement of internal components within the integrated housing 2.
[0036] In an optional embodiment, both the integrated box body 2 and the box top cover 7 are made of lightweight aluminum alloy, and handles 3 are provided on both outer walls of the integrated box body 2.
[0037] It should be noted that the top cover 7 and quick-release interface 1 of the box are made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which improves corrosion resistance and structural strength while reducing weight; and the handles 3 on both sides make it easy to move the integrated box 2.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, a connector mounting bracket 14 is included, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the electric fuel pump 12, and the other end of which is connected to the inner bottom wall of the integrated housing 2.
[0039] It should be noted that the socket mounting bracket 14 can provide support for the electric fuel pump 12, and a layer of elastic rubber material is attached between the contact surface of the socket mounting bracket 14 and the electric fuel pump 12 to absorb engine vibration.
[0040] In an optional embodiment, the integrated housing 2 has multiple quick-release interfaces 1 extending through both sides.
[0041] It should be noted that multiple quick-release interfaces 1 can be used to install the integrated housing 2.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
