[0002] Fuel tanks are containers used to store liquid fuels, commonly found in vehicles such as automobiles, airplanes, and ships, as well as industrial equipment. They are typically made of metal or high-strength plastics, possessing corrosion-resistant and high-pressure-resistant properties. Furthermore, some fuel tanks integrate fuel pumps and filters to ensure clean fuel delivery. Depending on their application, fuel tanks can be classified as built-in or external, with capacities ranging from tens of liters to tens of thousands of liters.
[0003] A fuel tank sealing cap, commonly known as a fuel tank cover or fuel filler cap, is a cover installed at the opening of a fuel tank to cover and seal the fuel tank inlet.
[0004] Traditional fuel tank sealing caps are mostly installed on the fuel tank by threaded connection. During the process of installation and removal, the sealing cap needs to be rotated multiple times, which is inefficient and prone to misalignment during installation, resulting in poor sealing performance.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a sealing cap, comprising:
[0028] An open pipe fitting 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the open pipe fitting 1, and a winged ring 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting pipe fitting 11.
[0029] Easy disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 is set on the top of the connecting pipe fitting 11. Easy disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 is used to improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.
[0030] Pressure relief mechanism 3 is installed on the easy disassembly and assembly mechanism 2, and is used to realize the function of automatic pressure relief.
[0031] The convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 includes a cover 21. A protrusion 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover 21. A rotating arm 24 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protrusion 23. A fastener 25 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating arm 24. A lever 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating arm 24. A first elastic element 27 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lever 26. The end of the first elastic element 27 away from the lever 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover 21. The bottom of the cover 21 is in movable contact with the top of the connecting pipe 11. The top of the fastener 25 is in movable contact with the bottom of the wing ring 12. When disassembling the cover 21 on the connecting pipe 11, the lever 26 is pushed towards the cover 21. The lever 26 will drive the rotating arm 24 to rotate inside the protrusion 23, causing the fastener 25 to move away from the cover. The position of the cover 21 is moved, and the fastener 25 and the wing ring 12 do not overlap in the vertical direction. Then the cover 21 can be removed and disassembled. When installing the cover 21 on the connecting pipe 11, push the lever 26 towards the cover 21. The lever 26 will drive the rotating arm 24 to rotate inside the protrusion 23, causing the fastener 25 to move away from the cover 21. At the same time, it will compress the first elastic element 27. Then the cover 21 is inserted into the connecting pipe 11. Then release the lever 26. Through the elastic force of the first elastic element 27, the lever 26 and the rotating arm 24 can be reset as a whole, causing the fastener 25 to be locked at the bottom of the wing ring 12 to complete the installation. The surface of the open pipe 1 has an installation hole, from which the open pipe 1 can be installed on the oil tank.
[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a handle 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 21, and a plug 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover 21. The plug 28 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting tube 11. The design of the handle 22 makes it convenient for the user to hold the cover 21 as a whole. The plug 28 is an extension structure of the cover 21. When installing the cover 21, the plug 28 is inserted into the connecting tube 11.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a rubber ring 281 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the plug 28, and a reinforcing member 282 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the plug 28. The number of rubber rings 281 is set to two. Through the design of the rubber rings 281, the connection between the plug 28 and the connecting pipe 11 can be double sealed. Through the design of the reinforcing member 282, the plug 28 can be reinforced, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the rubber rings 281.
[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the pressure relief mechanism 3 includes a cross support block 31, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cover 21 near the top. A second elastic element 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross support block 31, and a circular plate 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second elastic element 35. A rubber plate 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular plate 33. In the initial state, the elastic force of the second elastic element 35 can drive the rubber plate 34 to press against the bottom of the inner wall of the cover 21 through the circular plate 33, thus sealing the opening of the cover 21. When the pressure inside the oil tank is too high, the air pressure can push the rubber plate 34 to move upward to achieve the function of automatic pressure relief and improve safety.
[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a slide rod 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular plate 33. The slide rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cross support block 31. Through the design of the slide rod 32, the circular plate 33 can be limited to move relative to the cross support block 31, which facilitates the automatic pressure relief operation.
[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the cross support block 31 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 36. The threaded end of the threaded rod 36 extends to the bottom of the cross support block 31 and is rotatably connected to a pressure block 37. If the automatic pressure relief function is not required, the threaded rod 36 can be manually rotated to move the pressure block 37 down and press it against the top of the circular plate 33 to limit the circular plate 33.
[0037] Working principle: In use, the open pipe fitting 1 is pre-installed at the opening of the oil tank. When disassembling the cover 21 on the connecting pipe fitting 11, the lever 26 is pushed towards the cover 21. The fastener 25 and the wing ring 12 do not overlap in the vertical direction, and then the cover 21 can be pulled out and removed. When installing the cover 21 on the connecting pipe fitting 11, the lever 26 is pushed towards the cover 21, causing the fastener 25 to move away from the cover 21. At the same time, the first elastic element 27 is compressed. Insert the cover 21 into the connecting pipe 11, then release the lever 26. Through the elastic force of the first elastic element 27, the lever 26 and the rotating arm 24 can be reset as a whole, causing the fastener 25 to be locked at the bottom of the wing ring 12 to complete the installation. When the pressure inside the oil tank is too high, the air pressure can push the rubber plate 34 to move upward to achieve the function of automatic pressure relief. If the automatic pressure relief function is not required, manually rotate the threaded rod 36 to drive the pressure block 37 to move downward and press against the top of the circular plate 33 to limit the circular plate 33.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] The second embodiment of this application proposes an oil tank, which includes the aforementioned sealing cover.
[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
