Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive fuel tank accessories, specifically a ash filter structure that is directly connected to a fuel tank diagnostic system. Background Technology
[0002] A fuel tank diagnostic system typically refers to a suite of tools and technologies used to detect and monitor the condition of a vehicle's fuel system, ensuring its proper functioning. It can identify various fuel supply-related problems, such as fuel leaks, fuel pump malfunctions, and sensor errors. The carbon canister, part of the vehicle's fuel evaporation control system, is primarily used to capture and store fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank, preventing these vapors from being directly released into the atmosphere and thus reducing environmental pollution. By connecting the fuel tank diagnostic system to the carbon canister, effective monitoring and maintenance can ensure effective control of fuel vapors. The fuel tank diagnostic system may also connect to an ash filter structure for further filtration of the gases emitted from the carbon canister, purifying impurities from the fuel or air.
[0003] Existing fuel tank diagnostic systems typically require a section of piping, connectors, clamps, and other components for connection to the ash filter. This wastes some of the development and application of these components, failing to achieve the goals of cost savings and reduced development. Therefore, it is essential to develop an ash filter structure that directly connects to the fuel tank diagnostic system. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a filter structure for direct connection to a fuel tank diagnostic system, comprising a filter structure body 1 and a fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The filter structure body 1 has a sealing cover 2 at its upper end, and a first connecting pipe 3 is integrally formed on the cover 2. A fixing member 6 is provided at the end of the first connecting pipe 3, and a pipe fitting seat 604 integrally formed with the first connecting pipe 3 is provided on the fixing member 6. A reinforcing rib 4 is integrally formed between the cover 2 and the first connecting pipe 3, and the reinforcing rib 4 has a triangular structure. This structure, by integrally forming the cover 2, the first connecting pipe 3, and the fixing member 6, allows for direct connection between the filter structure body 1 and the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The connecting and reinforcing ribs 4 are used to improve the stability of the first connecting pipe fitting 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure of the fixing member 6. A snap-fit positioning seat 603, integrally formed, is also symmetrically provided between the pipe fitting snap-fit seat 604 and the fixing member 6. Furthermore, a fastening hook 602 is integrally provided at the upper end of the fixing member 6. A second connecting pipe fitting 503, corresponding to the position of the pipe fitting snap-fit seat 604, is integrally provided on the side of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The first connecting pipe fitting 3 has an L-shaped structure, and the first connecting pipe fitting 3 and the second connecting pipe fitting 503 are sealed and snap-fitted together. This structure, through the butt joint treatment of the first connecting pipe fitting 3 and the second connecting pipe fitting 503, allows the main body 1 of the ash filter structure to be connected to the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The fastener 6 secures the second connecting pipe 503, ensuring the stability and reliability of the direct connection. The fastener 6 is tightly fitted onto the outside of the second connecting pipe 503, and anti-slip protrusions 601 are integrally provided on the left and right sides of the fastener 6. This structure allows for easy pushing and tightening of the fastener 6 relative to the second connecting pipe 503 through the anti-slip protrusions 601. The outer ring of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5 is integrally provided with a positioning frustum 502, and the fastening hook 602 is L-shaped and tightly overlaps the upper surface of the positioning frustum 502. This structure ensures that when the fastener 6 is tightly fitted onto the outside of the second connecting pipe 503, the fastening hook 602 engages. The positioning frustum 502 ensures the stability of the connection between the fixing part 6 and the housing of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The bottom of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5 is provided with a carbon canister connector 504, which is used for the connection between the fuel tank diagnostic system 5 and the carbon canister. On the other side of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5, a positioning part 501 is connected to ensure the stable installation of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The snap-fit positioning seat 603 is located at the upper and lower ends of the fixing part 6, and the inner side of the snap-fit positioning seat 603 is tightly fitted with the outer side of the second connecting pipe 503. This structure can use the snap-fit positioning seat 603 to limit the snap-fit between the fixing part 6 and the second connecting pipe 503, ensuring the accuracy of the connection positioning.
[0021] Working principle: When using the ash filter structure that directly connects to the fuel tank diagnostic system, the top cover 2, the first connecting pipe 3, the reinforcing rib 4, and the fixing part 6 are first integrally injection molded. After the top cover 2 is assembled onto the main body 1 of the ash filter structure, the fixing part 6 is fitted onto the second connecting pipe 503 on the side of the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. The anti-slip protrusion 601 allows the fixing part 6 to be easily pushed. As the second connecting pipe 503 is engaged with the pipe engagement seat 604, the fastening hook 602 is engaged onto the positioning frustum 502. The engagement positioning seat 603 holds the two sides of the second connecting pipe 503, ensuring the fastness of the fixing part 6 and the fuel tank diagnostic system 5, thereby realizing the direct connection between the main body 1 of the ash filter structure and the fuel tank diagnostic system 5. After the fuel tank diagnostic system 5 is assembled with the carbon canister through the carbon canister connecting part 504, the positioning part 501 is used to install the fuel tank diagnostic system 5, thus completing a series of tasks.
[0022] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
