[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present application are described below, it is to be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0028] As shown in the figure, a novel automobile fuel tank with oil storage structure comprises: Figs. 1-3

[0029] The tank body 1 is provided with two partitions 2 inside, which divide the tank body 1 into a first part, a second part and a third part, and the second part is used to set the oil pump 5.

[0030] The first communication pipe 3 is arranged in the second part, and one end of the first communication pipe 3 communicates with the third part.

[0031] The second communication pipe 4 is arranged in the second part, and one end of the second communication pipe 4 communicates with the first part.

[0032] Specifically, the tank body 1 is divided into three parts by the partition 2, and the volume of each part can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the partition 2. The first communication pipe 3 and the second communication pipe 4 can communicate with the above-mentioned three parts, so that when the tank body 1 is inclined, the fuel entering the second part can only be discharged from the second part when it exceeds the first communication pipe 3 or the second communication pipe 4, thereby achieving the effect of retaining part of the fuel in the second part, ensuring that the vehicle can still draw fuel during uphill and downhill processes, and avoiding the problem that all the fuel converges to the lower end of the tank body 1, resulting in that there is fuel in the tank body 1 but cannot be drawn.

[0033] Further, when the first part is higher than the third part, the end of the first communication pipe 3 close to the first part is higher than the end of the first communication pipe 3 close to the third part, and at the same time, the end of the first communication pipe 3 close to the first part is higher than the fuel liquid level, thereby achieving the effect of retaining part of the fuel in the second part.

[0034] Further, the fuel inlet can be arranged at the upper end of any of the three parts, the other end of the first communication pipe 3 is close to the first part, and the other end of the second communication pipe 4 is close to the third part, thereby increasing the amount of retained fuel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first communication pipe 3 and the second communication pipe 4 are respectively arranged close to the bottom surface of the second part.

[0036] Specifically, the first communication pipe and the second communication pipe are arranged close to the bottom surface of the second part, which facilitates the mutual flow of fuel in the three parts during refueling and horizontal driving.

[0037] ​In the embodiment, the communication hole 6 is arranged at the upper end of the partition plate, and is used for communication between the first part and the third part. The height of the communication hole 6 is lower than the rated liquid level.

[0038] Specifically, the communication hole 6 is adapted to high fuel liquid level, avoids the problem that the small pipe diameter and low flow rate of the first communication pipe 3 or the second communication pipe 4 result in different fuel liquid levels in each part during refueling, and the refueling gun jumps out of the tank body 1 before the tank body 1 is filled.

[0039] In the embodiment, the communication holes 6 are arranged in a transverse manner.

[0040] Specifically, the position, shape and size of the communication hole 6 are arranged to avoid the influence of the fuel flowing through the communication hole 6 on the amount of trapped fuel in the second part in the inclined state.

[0041] Further, the first part and the second part are arranged symmetrically to ensure that the amount of fuel trapped in the second part is the same when the vehicle is on an uphill or downhill slope, or to adjust the volume ratio of the three parts so that more fuel is trapped in the second part when the vehicle is on an uphill slope.

[0042] In the embodiment, the tank body 1 is a cylinder, and the first part, the second part and the third part are arranged in an axial manner.

[0043] Specifically, the tank body 1 is arranged parallel to the ground, and the axial arrangement of the three parts ensures that the second part can trap fuel when the vehicle is on an uphill or downhill slope.

[0044] In the embodiment, the first communication pipe and the second communication pipe are respectively in an L shape, and the other end of the first communication pipe is away from the third part, and the other end of the second communication pipe is away from the first part.

[0045] Specifically, compared with a straight structure, the bending structure of the L shape reduces the fuel that flows from the second part during the inclination of the tank body 1.

[0046] In the embodiment, the full load flow rate of the communication hole 6 is not less than the refueling flow rate of the tank body 1.

[0047] Specifically, it is avoided that the liquid level in a part is too high during refueling due to the internal partition state of the tank body 1, which causes the refueling gun to jump out of the tank body 1 in advance.

[0048] In the embodiment, the extraction end of the oil pump is close to the bottom center area of the second part.

[0049] Specifically, it is convenient for the oil pump 5 to extract oil.

[0050] In the embodiment, the full load flow rate of the first communication pipe 3 and the second communication pipe 4 is not less than the extraction flow rate of the oil pump 5.

[0051] Specifically, it is avoided that the fuel trapped in the second part is consumed too quickly at the initial stage of the uphill, and even if there is fuel at the high end of the tank, the refueling speed cannot keep up, which causes the vehicle to stall.

[0052] The utility model further provides a vehicle, comprising:

[0053] The novel automobile oil tank with oil storage structure.

[0054] The novel automobile oil tank with oil storage structure is used, and the uphill use is taken as an example:

[0055] When the vehicle goes uphill, the first part is higher than the third part, one end of the first communicating pipe 3 close to the first part is higher than one end of the first communicating pipe 3 close to the third part, and the one end of the first communicating pipe 3 close to the first part is higher than the fuel liquid level, the fuel in the first part enters the second part through the first communicating pipe 3, at this time, one end of the second communicating pipe 4 close to the first part is higher than one end of the second communicating pipe 4 close to the third part, and the one end of the second communicating pipe 4 close to the first part is higher than the fuel liquid level, the fuel in the second part does not flow into the third part, part of the fuel is intercepted in the second part, and the oil in the tank body 1 can not be extracted and used due to the inclination.

[0056] For example:

[0057] There are 15.3L of fuel in the oil tank, the fuel is distributed in the first part, the second part and the third part when going on a flat road, and is 6.15L, 3L and 6.15L respectively; when the vehicle is inclined, the first part is empty, the second part intercepts 5.7L, and the third part is 9.6L, compared with the 15.3L of fuel in the oil tank without separation, which is all gathered in the lower end of the oil tank, the 5.7L intercepted in the second part can support the vehicle to continue driving.

[0058] The above has described various embodiments of the utility model, the above description is exemplary, is not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
