Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel tank cap technology, and in particular to a fuel tank cap handle. Background Technology

[0002] From the user's perspective, the fuel tank cap needs to consider two points: first, the opening and closing of the fuel tank cap is involved when refueling the vehicle; second, to prevent the fuel tank cap from being lost, a hanging rope needs to be installed, with one end of the rope attached to the vehicle and the other end attached to the fuel tank cap.

[0003] The structure of the fuel tank cap handle in the prior art can be found in [reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a handle with an opening in the middle, and the handle is positioned at the upper middle of the fuel tank cap.

[0004] However, this type of fuel tank cap handle has the following technical defects. Figure 1 The handle body cannot directly generate torque on the fuel tank cap. The user needs to hold the fuel tank cap to drive it to rotate. This structure must take into account the operating space of the hand. The area around the hand-tightening part needs to be unobstructed and free from strong interference, and a suitable gap needs to be maintained in the circumferential dimension. Figure 2 The handle is made from the edge of a thin sheet metal formed by stamping, so it may feel uncomfortable to the touch during operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fuel tank cap handle to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A fuel tank cap handle is provided for installation on a fuel tank cap. The handle includes a handle body, an arc-shaped connector, and a base plate. Two arc-shaped connectors are provided at both ends of the handle body along its length. The base plate is provided on the outer edge of both the handle body and the arc-shaped connectors. A drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped connector.

[0008] Preferably, the handle body and the arc-shaped connector are integrally formed.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate is integrally formed with the handle body and the arc-shaped connector.

[0010] Preferably, an opening is provided in the middle of the handle body.

[0011] Preferably, the base plate is integrally connected to or welded to the upper end of the fuel tank cover.

[0012] Preferably, the connection between the base plate, the handle body, and the arc-shaped connector is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer.

[0013] Preferably, a weight-reducing hole is provided in the middle of the base plate along the length of the handle body.

[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) In this utility model, the arc-shaped joints at both ends of the handle body allow the handle body to directly provide torque to the fuel tank cap. When the user operates, he / she only needs to hold the handle body and rotate it to easily open and close the fuel tank cap. Unlike traditional handles, the user does not need to hold the fuel tank cap to drive it to rotate. This reduces the requirements for operating space. Even if the space around the fuel tank is limited and the layout is compact, the user can complete the refueling operation smoothly. This greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of the refueling process and reduces the time waste that may occur due to inconvenient operation.

[0016] (2) In this utility model, the problem of the edge handle of the traditional stamped thin plate being uncomfortable to the hand is solved by setting the arc joint. When the user operates the oil tank cover handle, the hand is in contact with a smooth and rounded surface. The user will not feel uncomfortable even after long-term or frequent operation, thus improving the user's comfort during use.

[0017] (3) In this utility model, the handle body, the arc-shaped connector and the base plate are integrated, and the base plate is connected to the upper end of the fuel tank cover in an integrated or welded manner, which significantly enhances the structural stability of the entire fuel tank cover handle.

[0018] (4) In this utility model, the water leakage hole at the bottom of the arc-shaped connector can drain the water that enters the area near the fuel tank cover in time, prevent the water from corroding the handle and fuel tank cover, extend the service life of the parts, and reduce the maintenance costs and trouble of replacing parts caused by corrosion.

[0027] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fuel tank cap handle in this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the fuel tank cap handle in this utility model. Please refer to it. Figures 3 to 4 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a fuel tank cap handle for mounting on a fuel tank cap 8. The handle comprises a handle body 1, arc-shaped connectors 2, and a base plate 3. Two arc-shaped connectors 2 are provided at both ends of the handle body 1 along its length. The base plate 3 is provided on the outer edges of both the handle body 1 and the arc-shaped connectors 2. A drainage hole 4 is provided at the bottom of each arc-shaped connector 2. In this embodiment, the handle mainly comprises a handle body 1, arc-shaped connectors 2, and a base plate 3. The handle body 1 extends along its length, with both ends connected to the arc-shaped connectors 2. The structure of the arc-shaped connectors 2 can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 3 As shown, during operation, the user's thumb and forefinger can be placed on the two arc-shaped connectors 2, which can prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable.

[0028] The base plate 3 provides a basic support for the handle body 1 and the arc-shaped connector 2, enhancing the structural strength of the entire handle.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drainage hole 4 allows for timely drainage of water entering the area near the fuel tank cap 8, preventing corrosion of the handle and fuel tank cap 8, extending the service life of the components, and reducing maintenance costs and the hassle of replacing parts due to corrosion. Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the handle body 1 and the arc-shaped connector 2 are integrally formed, which increases the stability of the handle structure.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the base plate 3 is integrally formed with the handle body 1 and the arc-shaped connector 2. In this embodiment, the base plate 3, handle body 1, and arc-shaped connector 2 can be integrally formed. This manufacturing method makes the entire handle a seamless whole, which not only improves production efficiency but also eliminates the potential for loosening caused by gaps between components, further enhancing the reliability and stability of the handle.

[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an opening 5 is provided in the middle of the handle body 1. This opening 5 provides a reliable attachment point for the lanyard 9 to prevent the fuel tank cap 8 from being lost. One end of the lanyard 9 passes through the opening 5 and is securely fixed to the handle body 1, while the other end is attached to the vehicle. Thus, when the fuel tank cap 8 is opened for refueling, it is connected to the vehicle via the lanyard 9, effectively avoiding the risk of loss. Additionally, the opening 5 reduces the weight of the handle body 1 to some extent.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the base plate 3 is integrally connected to the upper end of the fuel tank cap 8 or welded together. There are two ways to connect the base plate 3 to the upper end of the fuel tank cap 8: integral connection or welded connection. In an integral connection, the base plate 3 and the upper end of the fuel tank cap 8 are formed as a single unit during manufacturing, which maximizes the strength and integrity of the connection. A welded connection involves firmly welding the base plate 3 and the upper end of the fuel tank cap 8 together, similarly ensuring a reliable connection between the handle and the fuel tank cap 8. The connection method between the base plate 3 and the fuel tank cap 8 can be selected as needed. In this embodiment, the handle of the fuel tank cap 8 can be made of stainless steel or high-strength plastic.

[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation, an arc-shaped chamfer 6 is provided at the connection between the base plate 3, the handle body 1, and the arc-shaped connector 2. This makes the handle more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing in appearance, and avoids the appearance of sharp edges. When the user holds the handle to operate, there will be no more discomfort in the hand, which can improve the user's operating experience.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a weight-reducing hole 7 is provided in the middle of the base plate 3 along the length of the handle body 1. The design of the weight-reducing hole 7 further reduces the overall weight of the handle while ensuring the structural strength of the base plate 3, which is conducive to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0035] When in use, the user can rotate the fuel tank cap 8 by turning the handle, so that the fuel tank cap 8 can be opened or locked. When turning the handle, the user's thumb and forefinger can contact the two arc-shaped joints 2, avoiding the phenomenon of hand discomfort.
