Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a curved handle for a car fuel filler door. Background Technology
[0002] The fuel filler door is an important part of the car body, used to protect the fuel filler neck, and the curved handle is the key component for opening the fuel filler door.
[0003] Currently, most fuel filler door handles on the market are made of metal or ordinary engineering plastics. Although metal handles have high strength, they are heavy, prone to corrosion, and expensive. Ordinary plastic handles are prone to deformation and aging during long-term use, which can lead to poor sealing or loose connections and affect their service life.
[0004] In addition, the existing car fuel filler door handles are mostly straight rod structures or small-angle curved structures, which require users to exert a lot of force to open them, and the sealing is poor, making it difficult to effectively prevent rainwater, dust and other foreign objects from entering the fuel filler area, which poses certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a curved handle for a car fuel filler door, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a curved handle for a car fuel filler door, comprising: a curved handle body, the curved handle body including a connecting section, a transition section and an installation section, the connecting section and the installation section being fixedly connected through the transition section, the connecting section, the transition section and the installation section being integrally injection molded from PP plastic, the curved handle body having an "L" shaped curved structure, the bending angle of the curved handle body being 85°-95°, a connector being fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting section, a second reinforcing rib being fixedly connected inside the transition section, and a groove being provided at the edge inside the installation section, with a sealing strip being engaged inside the groove.
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting hole is provided in the middle of the connector, which is used to rotatably connect the bending body to the car, and a first reinforcing rib is fixedly connected at the connection between the connecting section and the connector.
[0009] Furthermore, the second reinforcing rib includes a transverse reinforcing rib and an X-shaped reinforcing rib. The transverse reinforcing ribs are distributed parallel and equidistantly inside the transition section, and the X-shaped reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected inside the transition section.
[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the transverse stiffener extend to the connecting section and the installation section respectively, and the transition section, transverse stiffener and X-shaped stiffener are integrally injection molded.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided at the intersection of the X-shaped reinforcing ribs. The connecting groove is used to fix the ribs to the oil tank sealing cover by connecting ropes. The thickness of the second reinforcing rib is 0.8-1.2mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing strip is made of nitrile rubber, and its cross-section is "O" shaped. The outer diameter of the sealing strip is equal to the inner diameter of the groove.
[0013] Furthermore, a latch is fixedly connected to the other end of the mounting section, which is used to lock the bent handle body to the lock on the vehicle body.
[0014] Furthermore, a third reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to both sides inside the installation section. The third reinforcing rib is made of stainless steel, and threaded holes are opened at both ends of the third reinforcing rib. The threaded holes are used to connect the installation section to the oil filling gate threadedly by passing bolts through the threaded holes.
[0015] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0016] 1. The main body of the crank handle is made of PP plastic through one-piece injection molding. While ensuring the overall structural strength, it effectively reduces the weight of the parts and reduces the energy consumption of the whole vehicle. PP material has good chemical corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, which significantly improves the service life of the crank handle in complex environments. It overcomes the problems of easy corrosion and heavy weight of metal crank handles and easy aging and deformation of ordinary engineering plastics. In addition, the main body of the crank handle has an 85°-95° "L" shaped bending structure, which is more in line with human operating habits. When opening the accelerator pedal, the user can apply force more naturally and effortlessly, thus improving the user experience.
[0017] 2. By setting the first reinforcing rib, the second reinforcing rib, and the third reinforcing rib made of stainless steel, a multi-layer reinforcement is formed, which greatly improves the bending and torsional resistance of the handle in key parts of the connection section, transition section and installation section, effectively preventing deformation or breakage caused by long-term use, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the opening and closing of the refueling door.
[0018] 3. By setting a groove at the edge of the installation section and assembling a sealing strip made of nitrile rubber, the excellent elasticity and sealing properties of the rubber ensure that the handle fits tightly with the filler neck when closed, effectively preventing rainwater, dust and other foreign objects from entering the filler neck area, thus improving sealing and safety.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figure 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a curved handle for a car fuel filler door, comprising: a curved handle body 1, the curved handle body 1 including a connecting section 101, a transition section 102 and a mounting section 103, the connecting section 101 and the mounting section 103 being fixedly connected through the transition section 102, the connecting section 101, the transition section 102 and the mounting section 103 being integrally injection molded from PP plastic, the curved handle body 1 having an "L" shaped curved structure, the bending angle of the curved handle body 1 being 85°-95°, the other end of the connecting section 101 being fixedly connected to a connector 2, the interior of the transition section 102 being fixedly connected to a second reinforcing rib 4, and the interior edge of the mounting section 103 having a slot 1031, the interior of the slot 1031 having a sealing strip 5 engaged.
[0030] The main body 1 of the crank handle is made of PP plastic through one-piece injection molding. While ensuring the overall structural strength, it effectively reduces the weight of the components and lowers the energy consumption of the whole vehicle. PP material has good chemical corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, which significantly improves the service life of the crank handle in complex environments. It overcomes the problems of easy corrosion and heavy weight of metal crank handles and easy aging and deformation of ordinary engineering plastics. Moreover, the main body 1 of the crank handle has an "L" shaped bending structure of 85°-95°, which is more in line with human operating habits. When opening the accelerator pedal, the user can apply force more naturally and effortlessly, thus improving the user experience.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0033] A connecting hole 201 is provided in the middle of the connector 2. The connecting hole 201 is used to rotatably connect the bending body 1 to the car. A first reinforcing rib 3 is fixedly connected to the connection between the connecting section 101 and the connector 2.
[0034] The second reinforcing rib 4 includes a transverse reinforcing rib 401 and an X-shaped reinforcing rib 402. The transverse reinforcing rib 401 is distributed parallel and equidistantly inside the transition section 102. The X-shaped reinforcing rib 402 is fixedly connected inside the transition section 102. The two ends of the transverse reinforcing rib 401 extend to the connecting section 101 and the mounting section 103, respectively. The transition section 102, the transverse reinforcing rib 401 and the X-shaped reinforcing rib 402 are integrally injection molded. A connecting groove 403 is provided at the intersection of the X-shaped reinforcing rib 402. The connecting groove 403 is used to fix the rib to the oil tank sealing cover by a connecting rope. The thickness of the second reinforcing rib 4 is 0.8-1.2mm.
[0035] The addition of a first reinforcing rib 3, a second reinforcing rib 4, and a third reinforcing rib 7 made of stainless steel creates a multi-layered reinforcement, which greatly improves the bending and torsional resistance of the handle in key parts of the connecting section 101, transition section 102, and installation section 103. This effectively prevents deformation or breakage caused by long-term use and ensures the stability and reliability of the refueling door opening and closing.
[0036] The sealing strip 5 is made of nitrile rubber. The cross-section of the sealing strip 5 is "O" shaped. The outer diameter of the sealing strip 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the slot 1031. The other end of the mounting section 103 is fixedly connected to a latch 6. The latch 6 is used to lock the bent handle body 1 to the lock on the car body. Both sides of the inside of the mounting section 103 are fixedly connected to a third reinforcing rib 7. The third reinforcing rib 7 is made of stainless steel. Both ends of the third reinforcing rib 7 are provided with threaded holes 8. The threaded holes 8 are used to connect the mounting section 103 to the refueling valve threadedly by passing bolts through the threaded holes 8.
[0037] By setting a groove 1031 at the edge of the installation section 103 and assembling a sealing strip 5 made of nitrile rubber, its excellent elasticity and sealing properties ensure that the handle fits tightly with the filler neck when closed, effectively preventing rainwater, dust and other foreign objects from entering the filler neck area, thus improving sealing and safety.
[0038] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0039] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0040] First, the bending handle body 1 is rotatably connected to the car body through the connecting hole 201 in the middle of the connector 2, so that the bending handle can rotate freely around the connection point. Then, the car fuel filler door is fixed to the mounting section 103 by passing a bolt through the threaded hole 8 on the third reinforcing rib 7 inside the mounting section 103.
[0041] Secondly, when it is necessary to open the fuel filler door, the user holds the bent handle body 1, which is bent at 85°-95°, and applies force naturally in the opening direction. Since the L-shaped design of the handle is ergonomic, the operation is effortless and smooth. The bent handle body 1 is made of PP plastic injection molding, and with the first reinforcing rib 3, the second reinforcing rib 4 and the stainless steel third reinforcing rib 7 forming a multi-reinforcement structure, it ensures that each part has sufficient bending and torsional strength when under force, and avoids deformation or damage.
[0042] Finally, when the refueling valve is closed, the nitrile rubber sealing strip 5 in the edge groove 1031 of the installation section 103 fits tightly against the periphery of the refueling port to form an effective seal, preventing rainwater, dust and other foreign objects from entering. The latch 6 cooperates with the lock on the vehicle body to lock it, ensuring that the refueling valve will not be opened accidentally during driving. In addition, the connecting groove 403 at the intersection of the X-shaped reinforcing ribs 402 can be connected to the fuel tank sealing cap through a connecting rope to prevent the sealing cap from being lost.
[0043] The above 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 will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
