Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel tank cap technology, specifically to a sealing structure for a motorcycle fuel tank cap. Background Technology
[0002] The motorcycle fuel tank cap is a key sealing component of the motorcycle's fuel system. It covers the fuel tank opening to prevent dust and rainwater from entering the fuel tank, while also preventing fuel evaporation or accidental spillage. The fuel tank cap of a scooter is usually hidden under the seat. First, open the seat (insert the key into the handlebar lock and turn it to the left), and then unscrew the fuel tank cap directly.
[0003] In traditional technology, external threads are set on the outside of the fuel tank opening, while internal threads are set on the inner wall of the fuel tank cap. The two sets of threads are connected to each other to complete the seal between the cap and the fuel tank opening. However, long-term use can easily cause the threads to wear due to vibration, leading to fuel leakage or decreased sealing performance. The lack of an internal secondary sealing mechanism means that fuel can easily seep out from the thread gaps when riding on bumpy roads, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A motorcycle fuel tank cap sealing structure includes a fuel tank 1, a fuel tank opening 2 fixedly connected to the top of the fuel tank 1, an external thread at the bottom of the fuel tank opening 2, a sealing cap 3 connected to the external thread of the fuel tank opening 2, an internal thread at the bottom of the sealing cap 3 corresponding to the external thread, a bracket 4 fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cap 3, a stabilizing frame 5 fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 4, an auxiliary handle fixedly connected to the left end of the stabilizing frame 5, a pressing handle 6 rotatably connected to the outside of the stabilizing frame 5, a connecting rod 7 slidably connected to the middle of the inside of the stabilizing frame 5, the connecting rod 7 extending into the inside of the fuel tank opening 2 and slidably connected to the fuel tank opening 2, and a sealing cap fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 7. The sealing block 8 is installed by opening the seat of the scooter and exposing the fuel tank 1. After filling the fuel tank 1 with gasoline, the sealing cap 3 is placed on the outside of the fuel tank opening 2. Then, it is rotated so that the internal and external threads fit together, making the sealing cap 3 fit with the fuel tank opening 2 and sealing the fuel tank opening 2. This prevents the gasoline inside from spilling out when the scooter is bumpy during riding. Then, the connecting rod 7 is slid, and the stabilizing frame 5 limits it, causing it to move axially along a predetermined path. This then pushes the sealing block 8, allowing it to enter the interior of the fuel tank opening 2 and completely seal the inner wall of the fuel tank opening 2.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bracket 4. A first spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 7 and between the stabilizing frame 5 and the support plate 9. A pressing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the first spring 10. The connecting rod 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the pressing plate 11. The pressing plate 11 has an inclined structure design. One end of the pressing handle 6 extends above the pressing plate 11. The operator places their thumb on the outside of the stabilizing frame 5 and then presses the pressing handle 6 with their other fingers. The pressing handle 6 then moves axially with one end of the bracket 4 as the force point. The end of the pressing handle 6 near the pressing plate 11 will then descend, causing the pressing plate 11 to descend. As the pressing plate 11 descends, it rubs against the connecting rod 7 during its descent, causing the connecting rod 7 to descend. At the same time, the first spring 10 is compressed. Repeated operation achieves the descent of the connecting rod 7.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the surface of the connecting rod 7 is provided with a toothed groove 12, the top of the stabilizing frame 5 is fixedly connected to a baffle 13, the bottom end of the baffle 13 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 14, the outside of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 15, the top of the fixing ring 15 is fixedly connected to a fixing hook 16, the fixing hook 16 is adapted to the toothed groove 12, the end of the rotating shaft 14 away from the fixing hook 16 is fixedly connected to a driven rod 17, and a second spring 18 is fixedly connected between the driven rod 17 and the stabilizing frame 5. By pressing one end of the driven rod 17, the driven rod 17 will squeeze the second spring 18, so that the fixing ring 15 rotates outside the rotating shaft 14, thereby lifting the fixing hook 16 and making it disengage from the toothed groove 12. After the connecting rod 7 moves to a specified height, by releasing the driven rod 17, the extension and retraction of the second spring 18 will enable the fixing hook 16 to enter the interior of the toothed groove 12, thus completing the limiting and fixing of the connecting rod 7.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple sets of rubber rings 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fuel tank opening 2, and gaps are formed between the multiple sets of rubber rings 19. The gaps are adapted to the use of the sealing block 8. After the sealing block 8 enters the interior of the fuel tank opening 2, it will be inserted between two sets of rubber rings 19. Then, friction occurs between the sealing block 8 and the rubber rings 19, thereby sealing the fuel tank opening 2.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple sets of anti-slip textures are provided on the outside of the sealing cover 3. These multiple sets of anti-slip textures are distributed at equal intervals. By designing multiple sets of anti-slip textures on the outside of the sealing cover 3, the friction between the seal and the palm is effectively increased, making it easier to apply force when rotating the sealing cover 3.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a guide plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the fuel tank opening 2. The guide plate 20 has an inclined structure design. A protrusion 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fuel tank opening 2. A first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the protrusion 21. A placement groove 22 is provided on the inner side wall of the sealing cover 3 at a position corresponding to the protrusion 21. A second sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the placement groove 22. The first sealing ring and the second sealing ring have an interlaced structure design. Through the design of the guide plate 20, it is convenient to inject gasoline. When the sealing cover 3 is fitted onto the outside of the fuel tank opening 2, the protrusion 21 will directly enter the inside of the placement groove 22. At this time, the first sealing ring will be respectively inserted into the gap between the second sealing ring, improving the sealing performance between the outside of the fuel tank opening 2 and the sealing cover 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: By opening the seat of the scooter, the fuel tank 1 is exposed. By pressing one end of the driven rod 17, the driven rod 17 compresses the second spring 18, causing the retaining ring 15 to rotate outside the rotating shaft 14, thereby lifting the retaining hook 16 and disengaging it from the toothed groove 12. The sealing cover 3 is then fitted onto the outside of the fuel tank opening 2, and then rotated. The internal and external threads engage, causing the sealing cover 3 to fit snugly against the fuel tank opening 2. The protrusion 21 directly enters the placement groove 22, at which point the first sealing ring is engaged in the gap between the second sealing ring, improving the sealing between the outside of the fuel tank opening 2 and the sealing cover 3. The operator places their thumb on the outside of the stabilizing frame 5 and then presses the other fingers against the pressing handle 6. The pressing handle 6 then moves axially around one end of the bracket 4 as the force point. The end of the pressing handle 6 near the pressing plate 11 then descends, causing the pressing plate 11 to descend. As the pressing plate 11 descends, it rubs against the connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 then descends, and the first spring 10 is compressed. Through repeated operation, the connecting rod 7 descends and enters the interior of the oil tank opening 2 through the sealing block 8. It then inserts between the two sets of rubber rings 19, and the sealing block 8 rubs against the rubber rings 19, thus sealing the oil tank opening 2.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
