The invention discloses an aircraft gravity filler cap with electric
lap joint and
lightning protection functions, and belongs to the technical field of aircraft gravity refueling. The aircraft gravity filler cap with the electric
lap joint and
lightning protection functions comprises a filler cap seat, an upper cover
assembly and a lower cover; the upper cover
assembly is provided with a conductive piece making contact with the covering cap base. The lower cover is made of a high
dielectric strength material; the
metal base and the covering cap seat are in electric
lap joint through the conductive part, when the whole aircraft gravity filler cap is struck by
lightning, the conductive part conducts electric charges to the covering cap seat and the outer wall of an
oil tank, and therefore the sealing face of the covering cap seat is prevented from being ablated by high-
voltage electric arcs when the aircraft gravity filler cap is struck by lightning, and personnel and equipment are prevented from being damaged by residual electric charges. The lower cover is located in the
oil tank and is made of high
dielectric strength materials, electric fire is prevented from occurring in the
oil tank of the gravity oil filler cover under the direct
thunder and lightning action, and the problems that a traditional gravity oil filler cover does not have good electric lap joint performance, and a sealing face of a cover seat is ablated by high-
voltage arcs when the traditional gravity oil filler cover is subjected to the
thunder and lightning are solved.
