Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a fuel tank with high volumetric utilization rate. Background Technology

[0002] In a certain vehicle model, the space occupied by the fuel tank has reached its limit, and it is impossible to increase the vehicle's mileage by further increasing the tank's volume. The bottom of the fuel tank and the fuel level sensor are flat, requiring a certain gap between the bottom of the fuel level sensor and the bottom of the tank during assembly to ensure proper sensor placement. This results in a portion of fuel at the bottom of the tank remaining unused, preventing the tank from achieving high volumetric fuel utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fuel tank with high volumetric utilization rate in order to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0005] A high-volume-utilization fuel tank includes a fuel tank body; a recessed area at the bottom of the fuel tank body forms a platform structure; an oil suction device is provided inside the fuel tank body, and the bottom of the oil suction device is inserted into the platform structure.

[0006] Furthermore, a cover plate is provided inside the recessed platform structure; the cover plate includes a top, a side, and a bottom edge, forming a structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom; the top is a plane, and the bottom edge is provided with several notches.

[0007] Furthermore, the notch has an arc-shaped structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the settling platform structure is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and an outlet is provided at the bottom, with a blocking structure provided on the outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the oil suction device is an oil suction pipe or an oil level sensor.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0011] This invention features a recessed platform structure on the fuel tank body, with a cover plate inside the platform structure that prevents backflow. This allows all fuel in the tank to be utilized, increasing the vehicle's driving range, while preventing impurities in the platform structure from being sucked away by the fuel suction device. This invention further improves the utilization rate of fuel in the tank, increases the vehicle's driving range, and has broad market application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the sunken platform structure of this utility model;

[0014] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cover plate of this utility model inside the sunken platform structure;

[0016] In the diagram, 1. Fuel tank body; 2. Oil suction device; 3. Sinking platform structure; 4. Cover plate; 5. Notch. Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown: A high-capacity utilization fuel tank includes a fuel tank body 1; a recessed area at the bottom of the fuel tank body 1 forms a platform structure 3; an oil suction device 2 is installed inside the fuel tank body 1, with its bottom inserted into the platform structure 3. The oil suction device 2 is inserted into the platform structure 3 such that its bottom suction port is lower than the bottom of the fuel tank body 1, with a certain margin to ensure proper assembly; at this point, the fuel level in the tank is higher than the suction port of the oil suction device 2, allowing for full utilization; simultaneously, the external dimensions of the fuel tank remain unchanged, without occupying additional space.

[0018] The sunken platform structure 3 is equipped with a cover plate 4, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 4 includes a top, sides, and a bottom edge, forming a structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom; the top is flat, and the bottom edge has several notches 5. To address the problem that impurities in the sinking platform structure 3 are close to the oil suction port of the oil suction device 2, making it easy for the oil suction device 2 to suck in impurities, a cover plate 4 is added inside the sinking platform structure 3. As the oil moves, impurities will deposit on the bottom edge of the cover plate 4, and the impurities will enter the bottom of the sinking platform structure 3 through the notches 5. This allows the oil suction device 2 to insert into the sinking platform structure to suck in more oil, and also prevents impurities in the sinking platform structure 3 from entering the oil suction port of the oil suction device 2 due to vehicle shaking, thus having an anti-backflow function. Preferably, the cover plate 4 is a tapered truncated cone structure.

[0019] The gap 5 is an arc-shaped structure.

[0020] The settling platform structure 3 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an outlet at the bottom and a plugging structure at the outlet to allow impurities to be discharged. Preferably, the upper part of the settling platform structure 3 is a cylindrical structure, and the lower part is a truncated conical structure with a taper.

[0021] The oil suction device 2 is an oil suction pipe or an oil level sensor.

[0022] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
