Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of liquid filling structure technology, specifically relating to a filling pipe assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of vehicle manufacturing and use, the filling of various fluids is a crucial step in ensuring the normal operation of vehicles. In related technologies, fluid filling hoses are generally suspended and installed in specific locations within the vehicle body. Taking a common hose for adding detergent as an example, it is typically suspended in the front compartment of the vehicle. During the filling process, because the hose is suspended and lacks effective fixation and support, it is subjected to the impact force generated by the liquid flow and the pressure of the filling equipment when the operator injects the liquid. This can cause the hose to shake or move, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the filling process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a filling pipe assembly and vehicle that can solve the problem of filling pipes easily shaking or moving in related technologies.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a filling pipe assembly, the filling pipe assembly comprising: A filling pipe, which is used to connect to a liquid container in the vehicle; The bracket includes a clamping part and a fixed seat connected to the clamping part. The clamping part clamps the filling tube and is in a limiting fit with the filling tube in the axial direction of the filling tube. The fixed seat is provided with a vehicle body connection hole and an anti-rotation structure. Both the vehicle body connection hole and the anti-rotation structure are used to connect to the vehicle body, and the vehicle body connection hole and the anti-rotation structure are spaced apart.

[0005] In this embodiment, the bracket is connected to the vehicle body. The clamping part of the bracket can clamp the filling tube, providing stable support and preventing it from being suspended and unfixed, thus making it less prone to shaking or moving. Furthermore, the clamping part and the filling tube are matched in a limiting manner along the axial direction, restricting the axial movement of the filling tube. This prevents axial movement of the filling tube when subjected to liquid impact or pressure applied by the filling equipment, keeping it in a suitable position. During rapid liquid filling, the filling tube will not significantly expand, contract, move, or shake due to liquid impact, ensuring the continuity and stability of liquid filling. Moreover, when installing or removing the mounting base, the anti-rotation structure, in cooperation with the vehicle body, prevents the mounting base from rotating synchronously when tightening bolts or screws, improving operational convenience and ensuring the fixed installation position of the filling tube. For example, it prevents the bracket from rotating the filling tube when using a torque gun to tighten bolts, causing the filling tube to deviate from its designed position and interfere with surrounding components.

[0006] Optionally, the filling tube assembly also includes a cap, which is rotatably connected to the bracket and used to seal the filling port of the filling tube. This configuration effectively prevents external impurities such as dust and sand, as well as rainwater, from entering the filling tube, thus avoiding contamination of the liquid by these impurities or rainwater. Furthermore, since the bracket serves as an independent support structure, and the cap is rotatably connected to the bracket, the force generated when the cap is opened and closed can be distributed to the bracket, and the movement of the cap can be separated from the force on the filling tube. This reduces direct impact on the filling tube and lowers the additional stress on the filling tube caused by the movement of the cap, further preventing deformation of the filling tube and extending its service life.

[0007] Optionally, one of the bracket and the cover is provided with a connecting groove, and the other is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the connecting groove, and the diameter of the rotating shaft is larger than the width of the groove opening. The groove opening faces the filling tube. This arrangement allows the cover to easily switch between the open and closed states of the filling port, and prevents the rotating shaft from easily detaching from the groove opening. This effectively prevents the cover from separating from the bracket due to violent shaking, ensuring that the cover is always firmly connected to the bracket and maintaining the structural integrity of the filling tube assembly. On the other hand, because the connecting groove has a groove opening, the groove wall has a certain degree of elasticity, facilitating the installation and removal of the rotating shaft, and thus facilitating the installation and removal of the cover.

[0008] Optionally, the bracket further includes a cover support and a pivot limiting part connected to the cover support. The cover support is connected to the clamping part, and a connecting groove is formed between the cover support and the pivot limiting part. The pivot limiting part is an elastic structure. With this configuration, the cover support can provide basic support for the pivot, the connecting groove formed by the pivot limiting part and the cover support can clearly define the installation position of the pivot, and because the pivot limiting part is an elastic structure, it can automatically deform under the force of the pivot during installation or removal, allowing the opening of the connecting groove to adapt to the size of the pivot, so that the pivot can pass through the opening of the connecting groove and enter or exit the connecting groove.

[0009] Optionally, the cover support protrudes from the clamping part. The protruding direction of the cover support intersects the connection direction between the fixing seat and the vehicle body, and also intersects the direction from the anti-rotation structure to the vehicle body connection hole. The cover support and the fixing seat are spaced apart, so that the cover and the vehicle body are spaced apart. This arrangement allows the cover to be spaced apart from the clamping part, the fixing seat, and the vehicle body, thereby preventing interference between the cover, the fixing seat, and the clamping part, and preventing interference between the cover and the vehicle body. This ensures that the cover can stably cover the filling port of the filling pipe.

[0010] Optionally, the bracket is provided with a cover limiting part. When the cover is open, the cover engages with the cover limiting part to restrict the opening angle of the cover. This design prevents the cover from rotating further when it reaches the desired opening angle, avoiding collisions with surrounding objects due to excessive rotation. Furthermore, the limiting part provides support for the opened cover, ensuring it remains in a suitable position for convenient operation, such as liquid filling.

[0011] Optionally, the clamping part has a clamping groove and a guide groove. The guide groove communicates with the clamping groove and is located at the opening of the clamping groove. The width of the guide groove gradually decreases along the direction from the guide groove to the clamping groove. This configuration allows the guide groove to guide the filling tube towards the clamping groove as it approaches the clamping part, making it easier for the filling tube to enter the clamping groove. This reduces the difficulty of operation and improves operational efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the bracket is provided with multiple weight-reducing grooves. This design can reduce the weight of the bracket, thereby helping to reduce the weight of the vehicle.

[0013] Optionally, the support is made of composite material. This design, due to the high strength and rigidity of the composite material, significantly improves the structural strength and rigidity of the support. Consequently, when the operator manually presses the cap to cover the filling tube, the support is less prone to deformation under stress, thus improving the reliability of the pressing action.

[0014] Optionally, one of the filling tube and the clamping part is provided with a limiting groove, and the other is provided with a filling tube limiting part. The filling tube limiting part is embedded in the limiting groove, and in the axial direction of the filling tube, the filling tube limiting part is in limiting engagement with the groove wall of the limiting groove. This configuration, while achieving the limiting engagement between the filling tube and the clamping part in the axial direction of the filling tube, facilitates disassembly and assembly. The operator only needs to clamp the filling tube with the clamping part to embed the filling tube limiting part into the limiting groove, or directly separate the clamping part from the filling tube to release the axial limiting engagement between the filling tube and the clamping part. Unlike fixed connections, there is no need to use complex tools and cumbersome operating procedures to connect or separate the clamping part from the filling tube.

[0015] Optionally, the clamping part is positioned to limit the filling tube in the circumferential direction. This configuration effectively prevents the filling tube from rotating around its own axis, thus preventing bending and deformation and avoiding interference between the filling tube and surrounding components, thereby extending the service life of the filling tube.

[0016] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle, the vehicle including a liquid holding container and a filling pipe assembly as described in any of the above claims, wherein the filling pipe of the filling pipe assembly is connected to the liquid holding container.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by the vehicle provided in this application embodiment are the same as those achieved by the filling pipe assembly described above, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0022] In related technologies, a vehicle's filling hose is connected to a liquid storage container, such as a windshield washer fluid reservoir, lubricating oil tank, gasoline tank, or diesel tank. Liquids are added to these containers via the filling hose. However, vehicle filling hoses are typically suspended in a specific location within the vehicle body; for example, a hose for adding washer fluid is suspended in the front compartment. When adding liquid, because the hose is suspended and lacks effective fixation and support, it is prone to shaking or movement due to the impact of the liquid flow and the pressure of the filling equipment. This can cause liquid to flow outside the hose instead of into the pipe, resulting in waste, contamination of vehicle components, reduced filling efficiency, increased filling time, and consequently, increased workload for the operator.

[0023] To prevent the filling tube from shaking or moving, this application provides a filling tube assembly. The bracket of the filling tube assembly can support and limit the filling tube, so that the filling tube is not easy to shake or move when liquid is being filled or when it is subjected to other external forces.

[0024] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of the filling pipe assembly and vehicle provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios, will be provided in detail.

[0025] refer to Figures 1-14 The present application provides a filling tube assembly, which may include a filling tube 100 and a bracket 200.

[0026] The filling pipe 100 can be used to communicate with a liquid container in the vehicle to add liquid to the liquid container through the filling pipe 100. Optionally, the liquid container can be a container for holding detergent; for example, the liquid container can be a windshield washer fluid reservoir.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bracket 200 can be used to connect to the vehicle body. The bracket 200 may include a clamping part 210, which can clamp the filling tube 100. Furthermore, the clamping part 210 and the filling tube 100 are mutually positioned and engaged axially. Optionally, the clamping part 210 is provided with a clamping groove 211, into which a portion of the filling tube 100 can be embedded, thereby achieving clamping of the filling tube 100 by the clamping part 210.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bracket 200 is connected to the vehicle body. The clamping part 210 of the bracket 200 can clamp the filling tube 100, providing stable support for the filling tube 100, so that the filling tube 100 is no longer suspended and unfixed, making it less likely to shake or move. Furthermore, in the axial direction of the filling tube 100, the clamping part 210 and the filling tube 100 are matched in a limiting cooperation, which can restrict the movement of the filling tube 100 in its axial direction. This can prevent the filling tube 100 from moving when subjected to the impact force of liquid or the pressure applied by the filling equipment, so that the filling tube 100 is always kept in a suitable position. During the rapid liquid filling process, the filling tube 100 will not be greatly extended, moved or shaken due to liquid impact, which is beneficial to ensuring the continuity and stability of liquid filling.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, a limiting groove 121 may be provided on one of the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210, and a filling tube limiting part may be provided on the other. The filling tube limiting part may be embedded in the limiting groove 121, and the filling tube limiting part and the groove wall of the limiting groove 121 are limited and matched in the axial direction of the filling tube 100 to achieve the limiting and matching of the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210 in the axial direction of the filling tube 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, the limiting engagement between the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210 in the axial direction of the filling tube 100 is achieved by the limiting groove 121 and the limiting part of the filling tube. Compared with the method of using fasteners to connect the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210 to achieve the limiting engagement, the method of disassembly and assembly is more convenient. The operator only needs to use the clamping part 210 to clamp the filling tube 100 to make the limiting part of the filling tube embed into the limiting groove 121, or directly separate the clamping part 210 from the filling tube 100 to release the axial limiting engagement between the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210. It does not require the use of complex tools and cumbersome operation steps to connect or separate the clamping part 210 from the filling tube 100 as in a fixed connection.

[0031] In other embodiments, the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210 may not have the limiting groove 121 and the filling tube limiting part provided. For example, the filling tube 100 and the clamping part 210 can be connected by fasteners such as screws.

[0032] In one way, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a limiting groove 121 is provided on the filling tube 100, and a portion of the clamping part 210 can serve as a limiting part for the filling tube. Compared to a design where the filling tube 100 has a limiting part and the clamping part 210 has a limiting groove 121, this design is easier to implement since the filling tube 100 is a tubular structure. Furthermore, using a portion of the clamping part 210 directly as the limiting part eliminates the need for additional complex limiting structures on the clamping part 210, simplifying its design, reducing production costs, and ensuring structural strength, thereby improving the support capacity of the bracket 200. In addition, during installation, aligning the filling tube limiting part of the clamping part 210 with the limiting groove 121 on the filling tube 100 for insertion is more intuitive and convenient, facilitating accurate positioning and installation, reducing installation difficulty and time.

[0033] In another embodiment, a filling tube limiting part may be provided on the filling tube 100, the filling tube limiting part may protrude radially from the filling tube 100, and a limiting groove 121 may be provided on the clamping part 210, the filling tube limiting part being embedded in the limiting groove 121.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the clamping part 210 is positioned and engaged with the filling tube 100 in the circumferential direction. This arrangement effectively prevents the filling tube 100 from rotating around its own axis, prevents bending and deformation of the filling tube 100, and avoids interference between the filling tube 100 and surrounding components, thereby helping to extend the service life of the filling tube 100.

[0035] In other embodiments, the clamping part 210 and the filling tube 100 may also be in an unrestricted fit in the circumferential direction of the filling tube 100.

[0036] Optionally, if a limiting groove 121 is provided on the filling tube 100, the clamping part 210 can engage with the two groove walls of the limiting groove 121 in the circumferential direction of the filling tube 100, thereby limiting the engagement between the clamping part 210 and the filling tube 100 in the circumferential direction. This arrangement utilizes the existing groove walls of the limiting groove 121 on the filling tube 100 to achieve circumferential limiting engagement with the clamping part 210, eliminating the need for additional stops on the outside of the filling tube 100. This reduces the number of parts and the space occupied, simplifies the structure of the filling tube 100, and lowers the manufacturing difficulty.

[0037] Of course, when the limiting groove 121 is an annular groove, that is, when the limiting groove 121 is not on the groove wall in the circumferential direction of the filling pipe 100, an additional stop can be provided on the filling pipe 100, and the stop can cooperate with the clamping part 210 to limit the filling pipe 100 in the circumferential direction.

[0038] In optional embodiments, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the bracket 200 may further include a fixing seat 220, and the clamping part 210 can be connected to the fixing seat 220. The fixing seat 220 may be provided with a body connection hole 221 and an anti-rotation structure 222. Both the body connection hole 221 and the anti-rotation structure 222 can be used to connect to the body, and the body connection hole 221 and the anti-rotation structure 222 can be spaced apart. In this embodiment, the body connection hole 221 can provide a reliable connection point between the fixing seat 220 and the body. By using fasteners such as bolts 500 or screws to pass through the body connection hole 221 to fix the fixing seat 220 to the body, a firm mechanical connection can be achieved, ensuring that the fixing seat 220 will not easily loosen or fall off, thereby ensuring that the bracket 200 can provide stable support for the filling pipe 100. The anti-rotation structure 222 is designed to effectively prevent the mounting base 220 from rotating relative to the vehicle body. When installing or removing the mounting base 220, the anti-rotation structure 222 cooperates with the vehicle body to prevent the mounting base 220 from rotating synchronously when tightening fasteners such as bolts 500 or screws. This improves the convenience of operation and ensures that the installation position of the filling tube 100 is fixed. For example, it can prevent the bracket 200 from rotating the filling tube 100 when tightening the bolt 500 with a torque gun, which would cause the filling tube 100 to deviate from its design position and interfere with surrounding components.

[0039] In other embodiments, the anti-rotation structure 222 may not be provided on the fixing base 220.

[0040] Optionally, the anti-rotation structure 222 can be a limiting post, and the vehicle body can be provided with an anti-rotation mating hole 420. Alternatively, the anti-rotation structure 222 can be an anti-rotation mating hole 420, and the vehicle body can be provided with a limiting post, which can be embedded in the anti-rotation mating hole 420. Here, the limiting post can be a cylindrical structure, a conical structure, or other irregularly shaped structure.

[0041] Alternatively, at least two anti-rotation structures 222 can be provided on the mounting base 220. This arrangement can further improve the connection stability between the mounting base 220 and the vehicle body, and also improve the anti-rotation effect.

[0042] Of course, the mounting bracket 220 may also be provided with at least two body connection holes 221.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the body connection hole 221 and the anti-rotation structure 222 can be respectively set close to the opposite sides of the fixed seat 220. This arrangement allows the anti-rotation structure 222 to fully perform its function, ensuring that the fixed seat 220 is not prone to rotation under various working conditions, thus improving the anti-rotation effect. On the other hand, it can balance the force on the fixed seat 220, preventing deformation or damage to the fixed seat 220 due to uneven force, which helps to extend the service life of the fixed seat 220.

[0044] Optionally, the fixing base 220 and the clamping part 210 can be an integral structure. This configuration can improve the connection strength and stability between the fixing base 220 and the clamping part 210, and can simplify the structure of the bracket 200.

[0045] Of course, the fixing base 220 and the clamping part 210 may not be an integral structure. For example, the fixing base 220 and the clamping part 210 can be connected by fasteners such as screws, or the fixing base 220 and the clamping part 210 can be snapped or plugged in.

[0046] In optional embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the filling tube assembly may also include a cover 300, which can be used to close the filling port of the filling tube 100. In this way, when the filling tube 100 is not in use, the cover 300 can close the filling port, which can effectively prevent external impurities such as dust and sand particles as well as rainwater from entering the interior of the filling tube 100, thereby avoiding contamination of the liquid by external impurities or rainwater.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the cover 300 and the bracket 200 are rotatably connected. In this embodiment, since the bracket 200 is an independent support structure, the rotatable connection between the cover 300 and the bracket 200 can distribute the force generated during opening and closing to the bracket 200, and can separate the movement of the cover 300 from the force on the filling tube 100, reducing the direct impact on the filling tube 100 and reducing the additional stress on the filling tube 100 caused by the movement of the cover 300. This can further prevent the filling tube 100 from deforming and help extend the service life of the filling tube 100.

[0048] In other embodiments, the cover 300 may not be rotatably connected to the bracket 200; for example, the cover 300 may be rotatably connected to the filling tube 100.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, one of the bracket 200 and the cover 300 may be provided with a connecting groove 250, and the other may be provided with a rotating shaft 320, which is rotatably disposed within the connecting groove 250. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 320 can rotate freely within the connecting groove 250, allowing the cover 300 to rotate around the rotating shaft 320. This rotation method is simple and direct, providing a basis for opening and closing the cover 300, and enabling the cover 300 to easily switch between the two states of opening and closing the filling port.

[0050] Furthermore, the diameter of the rotating shaft 320 can be larger than the width of the opening of the connecting groove 250. This design serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the rotating shaft 320 from easily detaching from the opening, thus effectively preventing the cover 300 from separating from the bracket 200 due to violent shaking, ensuring that the cover 300 remains securely connected to the bracket 200 and maintaining the integrity of the filling tube assembly structure; secondly, because the connecting groove 250 has an opening, the groove wall of the connecting groove 250 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the rotating shaft 320 to directly enter and exit the connecting groove 250 through the opening when it is necessary to disassemble or assemble it, making disassembly and assembly convenient and easy.

[0051] In other embodiments, the connecting groove 250 may not be provided on the bracket 200. For example, the bracket 200 may be provided with a through hole, and the rotating shaft 320 is rotatably disposed in the through hole.

[0052] Optionally, the opening of the connecting groove 250 is oriented towards the filling tube 100. This arrangement prevents the rotating shaft 320 from dislodging from the connecting groove 250, thereby preventing the cover 300 from separating from the bracket 200.

[0053] Of course, the opening of the connecting groove 250 may not face the filling pipe 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting groove 250 can be provided on the bracket 200, and a rotating shaft 320 can be provided on the cover 300. In this embodiment, since the size of the bracket 200 is relatively large compared to the cover 300, it is easier to provide the connecting groove 250 on the bracket 200 than to provide the connecting groove 250 on the cover 300, and it is less likely to affect the structural strength of the bracket 200. Of course, a rotating shaft 320 can also be provided on the bracket 200, and a connecting groove 250 can also be provided on the cover 300.

[0055] Optionally, a pivot connection 310 may be provided on the cover 300, and the pivot connection 310 may be connected to the pivot 320.

[0056] Further optional, such as Figure 8As shown, the cover 300 can be provided with two rotating shaft connecting parts 310, which are spaced apart. Each rotating shaft connecting part 310 can be provided with a rotating shaft connecting hole. The two ends of the rotating shaft 320 can respectively extend into the rotating shaft connecting holes of the two rotating shaft connecting parts 310 and connect with the rotating shaft connecting holes. Here, the two rotating shaft connecting parts 310 can be located on both sides of the connecting groove 250 in its axial direction. In this configuration, the two rotating shaft connecting parts 310 can provide dual-point support for the rotating shaft 320, making the connection between the rotating shaft 320 and the cover 300 more stable. Furthermore, since the two ends of the rotating shaft 320 are fixed in the two rotating shaft connecting holes, it can effectively prevent the rotating shaft 320 from coming out of the axial sides of the connecting groove 250 during use, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the cover 300 and the bracket 200.

[0057] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the bracket 200 may further include a cover support portion 230 and a pivot limiting portion 240 connected to the cover support portion 230. The cover support portion 230 may be connected to the clamping portion 210. A connecting groove 250 may be formed between the cover support portion 230 and the pivot limiting portion 240, and the pivot limiting portion 240 may be an elastic structure. In this embodiment, the cover support portion 230 may provide basic support for the pivot 320. The connecting groove 250 formed by the pivot limiting portion 240 and the cover support portion 230 may clearly define the installation position of the pivot 320. Since the pivot limiting portion 240 is an elastic structure, when the pivot 320 is installed or removed, the pivot limiting portion 240 may automatically deform under the force of the pivot 320, so that the opening of the connecting groove 250 adapts to the size of the pivot 320, so that the pivot 320 can pass through the opening of the connecting groove 250 and enter or exit the connecting groove 250.

[0058] In other embodiments, the pivot limiting portion 240 may not be an elastic structure.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the cover support portion 230 may protrude beyond the clamping portion 210. The protruding direction of the cover support portion 230 may intersect with the connection direction between the fixing seat 220 and the vehicle body, and may also intersect with the direction from the anti-rotation structure 222 to the vehicle body connection hole 221. This arrangement allows the cover 300 to be spaced apart from the clamping portion 210 and the fixing seat 220, thereby preventing interference between the cover 300 and the fixing seat 220 and the clamping portion 210 when opening and closing, thus ensuring that the cover 300 can stably cover the filling port of the filling tube 100.

[0060] In other embodiments, the cover support portion 230 may not protrude from the clamping portion 210.

[0061] Optionally, the cover support 230 can be spaced apart from the fixing seat 220 so that the cover 300 is spaced apart from the vehicle body, thus avoiding interference between the cover 300 and the vehicle body when opening and closing.

[0062] Of course, the cover support 230 may not be spaced apart from the fixing seat 220.

[0063] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a cover limiting part 231 can be provided on the bracket 200. When the cover is open, the cover 300 is limited by the cover limiting part 231 to restrict the opening angle of the cover 300. With this configuration, when the cover 300 is opened to the desired angle, the cover limiting part 231 can prevent the cover 300 from continuing to rotate, avoiding collisions with surrounding objects due to excessive rotation. Furthermore, the cover limiting part 231, by limiting the opening angle of the cover 300, can provide some support to the opened cover 300, ensuring it remains in a suitable position for convenient operation, such as liquid filling.

[0064] In other embodiments, the cover limiting part 231 may not be provided on the bracket 200.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cover limiting part 231 can be provided on the cover support part 230, and when the cover 300 is open, the rotating shaft connecting part 310 described above can be limited and cooperated with the cover limiting part 231.

[0066] Optionally, two cover limiting parts 231 may be provided on the cover support 230. The two cover limiting parts 231 are respectively located on both sides of the cover support 230 in the axial direction of the connecting groove 250, and each cover limiting part 231 can respectively cooperate with the two rotating shaft connecting parts 310 on the cover 300 for limiting. This arrangement can improve the limiting effect on the cover 300 on the one hand, and ensure the force balance of the cover 300 on the other hand.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cover support portion 230 can be connected to the clamping portion 210 so that the cover support portion 230 can be fixed on the fixing base 220 to provide stable support for the cover 300. For example, the cover support portion 230 and the clamping portion 210 can be an integral structure, which reduces the number of connecting structures, simplifies the structure of the bracket 200, and improves the connection strength and stability between the cover support portion 230 and the clamping portion 210.

[0068] Optionally, the cover support 230 may be arranged perpendicular to the clamping part 210 to avoid affecting the clamping part 210's clamping of the filling tube 100.

[0069] Alternatively, the cover support 230 may be provided close to the clamping groove 211 of the clamping part 210 to ensure that the cover 300 can be placed on the filling port of the filling tube 100.

[0070] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the filling pipe 100 may include a filling pipe body 110 and a filling port assembly 120. The first end of the filling pipe body 110 can be used to communicate with the liquid container of the vehicle, and the second end of the filling pipe body 110 can be communicated with the filling port assembly 120. The diameter of the filling port assembly 120 can be larger than the diameter of the filling pipe body 110. This configuration can provide a more spacious filling port, thereby reducing the difficulty of filling the liquid and improving the convenience of the filling operation.

[0071] In this embodiment, the clamping part 210 can clamp the filling port assembly 120, and the clamping part 210 can be in a limiting engagement with the filling port assembly 120 in the axial direction. Here, a limiting groove 121 can be provided on the filling port assembly 120.

[0072] For example, the filling tube body 110 and the filling port assembly 120 can be an integral structure. This arrangement can reduce the number of connecting structures and improve the overall sealing performance of the filling tube 100.

[0073] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping part 210 has a clamping groove 211 and a guide groove 212. The clamping groove 211 can clamp the filling tube 100. The guide groove 212 communicates with the clamping groove 211 and can be located at the opening of the clamping groove 211. Along the direction from the guide groove 212 to the clamping groove 211, the width of the guide groove 212 gradually decreases. With this configuration, when the filling tube 100 approaches the clamping part 210, the guide groove 212 can guide the filling tube 100 to move along the path of the guide groove 212 towards the clamping groove 211, making it easier for the filling tube 100 to enter the clamping groove 211, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation and improving operational efficiency.

[0074] In other embodiments, the clamping part 210 may not have the guide groove 212.

[0075] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the bracket 200 is provided with multiple weight-reducing grooves 201. This arrangement can reduce the weight of the bracket 200, thereby helping to reduce the weight of the vehicle. Optionally, weight-reducing grooves can also be provided on the clamping part 210, the fixing seat 220, and the cover support part 230.

[0076] In other embodiments, the weight-reducing groove 201 may not be provided on the bracket 200.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the support 200 can be made of composite material. This configuration, due to the high strength and rigidity of the composite material, significantly improves the structural strength and rigidity of the support 200. Consequently, when the operator manually presses the cover 300 to close it on the filling tube 100, the support 200 is less prone to deformation under stress, thus improving the reliability of the pressing action.

[0078] In some embodiments, the composite material may include high-strength fibers and a matrix material. Since the fibers have high tensile strength, they can significantly improve the overall strength of the composite material. Exemplary high-strength fibers may be carbon fibers, glass fibers, or aramid fibers, etc. The matrix material may be epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide (PA), etc. In this embodiment, the composite material may be a mixture of polyamide and glass fiber material. Here, the proportion of glass fiber material is 30% of the mixture.

[0079] In other embodiments, the bracket 200 may be a plastic bracket 200 or a stainless steel bracket 200.

[0080] Based on the filling pipe assembly provided in this application embodiment, this application embodiment provides a vehicle that may include a liquid holding container and the filling pipe assembly described in any of the above embodiments. The filling pipe 100 of the filling pipe assembly can be connected to the liquid holding container. It should be noted that vehicles of different models can be equipped with the above-described filling pipe assembly.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the liquid container can be a container for holding detergent, such as a windshield washer fluid reservoir. Of course, the liquid container can also be other containers, such as an oil tank.

[0082] The beneficial effects achieved by the vehicle provided in this application embodiment are consistent with the beneficial effects achieved by the filling pipe assembly provided in this application embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle may further include a body, with the support 200 of the filling pipe assembly connected to the body.

[0084] Specifically, the body includes body sheet metal 400, such as Figure 14As shown, the body sheet metal 400 can be provided with mounting holes 410 and anti-rotation mating holes 420. The body connection hole 221 on the mounting base 220 of the bracket 200 can be connected to the mounting hole 410 by bolts 500. The anti-rotation structure 222 on the mounting base 220 can be a limiting post. The limiting post can extend into the anti-rotation mating hole 420 and be limited and mated with the anti-rotation mating hole 420.
