[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention provides a fuel tank cover, comprising a cover body 1, wherein the cover body 1 has a first hole 12 and a second hole 14. The first hole 12 is used for fixed connection with the fuel tank by bolts, and the second mounting hole 14 is used for assembly with the fuel pump's oil delivery pipe. A sealing gasket 2 is fixedly installed on the cover body 1. When the cover body 1 is assembled on the fuel tank, the sealing gasket 2 is positioned between the cover body 1 and the fuel tank. This configuration forms an integral structure by fixing the sealing gasket 2 to the cover body 1. During assembly, the cover body 1 and the sealing gasket 2 can be assembled on the fuel tank simultaneously. During disassembly, the cover body 1 and the sealing gasket 2 can be removed from the fuel tank simultaneously, making assembly and disassembly more convenient. This allows for easy removal of the filter device from the fuel tank for maintenance and cleaning before reassembly or replacement with a new filter device.
[0029] Furthermore, the cover 1 includes a first mounting base 11, on which a second mounting base 13 is provided, the second mounting base 13 being correspondingly arranged with respect to the opening of the fuel tank; the first mounting base 11 has first holes 12 at both ends, and the second mounting base 13 has second holes 14. This arrangement, with the first holes 12 and second holes 14 respectively located on the first mounting base 11 and the second mounting base 13, makes efficient use of the installation space, and the first holes 12 at both ends of the first mounting base 11 ensure a more reliable fixation after assembly with the holes on the fuel tank.
[0030] Furthermore, the sealing gasket 2 is set tightly against the bottom end face of the first mounting base 11, and each end of the sealing gasket 2 has a protruding buckle 21, which engages with the first hole 12 or the outer edge of the first mounting base 11. This arrangement, through a snap-fit connection, securely mounts the sealing gasket 2 and the cover 1 into an integrated structure, facilitating assembly. Furthermore, the sealing gasket 2's tight fit against the bottom end face of the first mounting base 11 ensures better sealing after assembly, with the bottom and top ends of the sealing gasket 2 tightly against the cover 1 and the oil tank, respectively. This also prevents misalignment of the sealing gasket 2, guaranteeing its sealing effect.
[0031] In practical applications, the main body of the sealing gasket 2 is a planar structure, and its main body has the same shape as the bottom end face of the first mounting base 11. It can fit tightly against the bottom end face of the first mounting base 11, so it will not deform under long-term pressure and has a long service life. Traditional sealing rings will undergo irreversible deformation under long-term pressure, resulting in a short service life and affecting the sealing effect. When the buckle 21 is engaged with the first hole 12, the shapes of the buckle 21 and the first hole 12 are adapted. When the buckle 21 is engaged with the outer edge of the first mounting base 11, the buckle 21 has a hook-shaped structure.
[0032] Furthermore, when the buckle 21 engages with the first hole 12, the buckle 21 has a third hole 23 for assembly with the bolt. With this arrangement, during assembly, the bolt passes through the third hole 23 and is fixed to the screw hole on the oil tank. The buckle 21, to a certain extent, acts as a washer with the bolt, resulting in a better locking effect. Specifically, during tightening, the bolt interferes with the buckle 21, creating a compression effect.
[0033] Furthermore, the outer edge of the sealing gasket 2 is provided with multiple notches 22. When the cover 1 is assembled onto the oil tank, the notches 22 are located between the bottom of the outer edge of the cover 1 and the oil tank. This design makes it easy to pry open the sealing gasket 2 with a tool when it is stuck to the hydraulic oil; traditional sealing rings are stuck to the hydraulic oil and are not easy to remove.
[0034] Furthermore, the second mounting base 13 protrudes from the center of the first mounting base 11, and the sealing gasket 2 is provided with a clearance hole 24 corresponding to the second mounting base 13. When the cover 1 is assembled on the oil tank, the clearance hole 24 is aligned with the opening of the oil tank. With this arrangement, after assembly, the sealing gasket 2 is positioned around the outer periphery of the opening of the oil tank, resulting in a more reliable sealing effect.
[0035] Furthermore, a sealing ring 3 is fixedly installed inside the second hole 14, and the sealing ring 3 has an oil delivery connection hole 31 that seals with the oil pump's oil delivery pipe. This arrangement allows the sealing ring 3 to easily seal with the oil pump's oil delivery pipe, resulting in a more stable oil delivery effect.
[0036] Furthermore, the sealing ring 3 is provided with a positioning groove 32, which engages with the second hole 14. When the sealing ring 3 is assembled onto the second hole 14, both ends of the sealing ring 3 are respectively clamped onto the bottom and top end faces of the second mounting base 13. This arrangement, through the engagement of the positioning groove 32 with the second hole 14, securely mounts the sealing ring 3 within the second hole 14, facilitating assembly and ensuring reliable fixation.
[0037] Furthermore, the first hole 12 is either an oblong hole or a countersunk hole. When the first hole 12 is an oblong hole, the buckle 21 passes through the bottom of the first mounting base 11 through the oblong hole and is then secured to the top end face of the first mounting base 11. When the first hole 12 is a countersunk hole, the buckle 21 passes through the bottom of the first mounting base 11 through the countersunk hole and is then secured to the countersunk platform of the countersunk hole. This design allows for convenient adjustment of the assembly angle of the cover 1 when the first hole 12 is an oblong hole; and provides good protection for the end of the buckle 21 when the first hole 12 is a countersunk hole, preventing the end of the buckle 21 from protruding above the surface of the cover 1 and causing damage.
[0038] Furthermore, the first mounting base 11 has multiple protrusions 15 at both ends. This design increases the overall rigidity of the cover 1, making it less prone to deformation.
[0039] In practical applications, the cover 1 is made of metal, and its second mounting base 13 is formed by stamping or die casting on the first mounting base 11.
[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
