Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] . This invention relates to a kerosene pump unit that has a built-in secondary battery and a detachable light attachment. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional electric kerosene pumps are powered by dry batteries, which require battery replacement, and disposable batteries are therefore also considered environmentally conscious. While built-in secondary batteries eliminate the need for battery replacement, there is a social demand for safe disposal or recycling of these pumps. In particular, if products with built-in lithium-ion secondary batteries are carelessly disposed of, there is a risk of fire or smoke if they are left in the hot sun or if excessive force or strong impact is applied when loading them into a garbage truck, making safety a concern. Disposable batteries are also an environmentally conscious issue. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-033512 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] By proposing a kerosene pump unit that allows only the secondary battery to be removed when disposing of it, the problem is solved by making it easier to safely dispose of or recycle the secondary battery. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The above technical problems can be solved by the present invention as follows.

[0006] A light attachment for a kerosene pump unit that is detachably attached to a pump body and comprises a prismatic battery, a light source, a light cover, a main board, a bracket, and an upper cover, the prismatic battery is arranged vertically on the light attachment and is held by the bracket and the upper cover, and is provided with a connector or connection cable connected to the main board, the bracket provides a wall surface around the prismatic battery to prevent the prismatic battery from shaking left and right and hold the prismatic battery, the upper cover fixes the upper part of the prismatic battery and holds the prismatic battery while preventing it from shaking up and down, the light source holds one or more light-emitting element(s) in the vertical middle part of the prismatic battery, and has the function of emitting light, the light cover is arranged to surround the prismatic battery and the light source, and the main board is provided with a connector or connection cable connected to the prismatic battery.

[0007] The upper lid provides a wall surface around the periphery of the prismatic battery, thereby preventing the prismatic battery from swaying from side to side and holding the prismatic battery.

[0008] The columnar battery can be removed vertically upward from the light attachment by removing the top cover.

[0009] The prismatic battery is a secondary battery, and is any one of a lithium ion battery, a lithium polymer battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, and a nickel-cadmium battery.

[0010] The light cover has a function of diffusing direct light emitted from the light source and reflected light emitted from the light source and reflected on the wall surface of the bracket and / or the wall surface of the upper cover and / or the wall surface of the prismatic battery, and is transparent, translucent, or milky white and has a function of transmitting and diffusing light, and / or has a textured or uneven surface and has a function of refracting and diffusing light.

[0011] The main board has a power supply function for controlling at least the light source and the pump body. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the rear view of the present invention. [Figure 4] 1 is a perspective view of a light attachment core according to the present invention; [Figure 5] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a kerosene pump unit A according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] This device relates to a kerosene pump unit A equipped with a detachable light attachment B that has a built-in prismatic battery 18, and aims to facilitate the safe disposal and recycling of secondary batteries by allowing users to easily remove the prismatic battery 18 when disposing of the product.

[0015] To achieve this objective, the present invention provides a kerosene pump unit A having a pump body C and a light attachment B that can be attached to and detached from the pump body C, wherein the light attachment B has the following configuration.

[0016] Light attachment B is composed of a columnar battery 18, an LED board 19, a light cover 2, a main board 21, a bracket 20, and an upper cover 1, and the columnar battery 18 is arranged vertically inside the light attachment B. The columnar battery 18 is held in place by the bracket 20 to prevent it from shaking left and right, and the upper cover 1 prevents it from shaking up and down.

[0017] The prismatic battery 18 is designed to be easily removed vertically by removing the top cover 1 from the top of the light attachment B, making it highly convenient for disposal or recycling of the prismatic battery 18. When a product's built-in secondary battery cannot be removed, problems arise, such as local governments and recycling organizations not accepting disposal or recycling unless the battery is alone. However, this device solves this problem by allowing the prismatic battery 18 to be removed, and also allows the user to easily insulate the battery terminals, allowing for safe disposal.

[0018] The LED substrate 19 is disposed in the vertical middle of the prismatic battery 18 and has one or more light emitting elements to provide a light emitting function, thereby providing a lighting function that efficiently illuminates the area around the pump.

[0019] The light cover 2 is arranged to surround the prismatic battery 18 and the LED substrate 19, and diffuses the light emitted from the LED substrate 19 to irradiate it to the outside. The light cover 2 is made of a transparent, translucent, or milky white color, and has a textured or uneven surface, which refracts and diffuses the light for efficient illumination.

[0020] Furthermore, by using the wall surface of the bracket 20, the inner surface or wall surface of the top cover 1, or the wall surface around the outer periphery of the columnar battery 18 as a reflector, the light from the LED substrate 19 can be efficiently reflected, increasing the amount of light irradiated through the light cover 2.

[0021] The main board 21 is electrically connected to the prismatic battery 18 and the LED board 19, and is configured to supply power to and control the operation of the pump body C. The main board 21 and the prismatic battery 18 are detachably connected by a connector or a connection cable.

[0022] According to this invention, the prismatic prismatic battery 18 can be easily removed by removing the top cover 1, facilitating sorting for disposal and realizing an environmentally friendly product design. In addition, the bracket 20, light cover 2, and top cover 1 make it possible to achieve both compactness, high space efficiency, and excellent lighting performance.

[0023] Furthermore, because light attachment B is detachable, replacement, maintenance, and inspection are easy, contributing to user convenience and improved product life.

[0024] The secondary battery of the prismatic battery is not limited to the secondary battery described above, but may be a secondary battery such as a sodium ion battery or an all-solid-state battery, which is not yet common.

[0025] In addition, this invention can of course be applied to infusion pumps for water, diesel, etc. in addition to kerosene pumps. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The kerosene pump unit A of this invention is designed to allow the prismatic battery 18 to be easily removed, allowing users to easily remove the battery for safe disposal or recycling. Furthermore, the structure of the light attachment B positions the prismatic battery 18 vertically, and uses the bracket 20, top cover 1, and the wall surface of the prismatic battery 18 as reflectors, achieving both efficient light irradiation and compactness, contributing to improved usability, and providing a kerosene pump unit suitable for use in a variety of environments, including work sites and homes.
