Fuel suction inlet member
A sender gauge adaptor includes an adaptor body pressed against a bottom wall of a fuel tank by a spring. The adaptor body includes a suction inlet part having a hollow cylindrical shape that opens downward. Recesses allowing fluid communication between the interior and the exterior of the suction inlet part and projection parts having a polygonal-shaped lower surfaces are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction along a lower end of the suction opening. The adaptor body includes a seat part in surface contact with the bottom wall of the fuel tank at a position below the lower surfaces of the projection parts.
Curve-combined square pressure tank
The present invention relates to a curve-combined square pressure tank with which curves are combined so as to maintain internal high pressure, improve space efficiency, and reduce the weight thereof, and to a pressure tank, in which planes and curves are combined, formed by connecting flat plate members and curved members, having a plurality of aligned tension members for connecting the flat plate members facing each other, and having stress buffer parts formed at connection parts of the flat plate members and the curved members so as to enable internal pressure to be maintained.
Smart Anti-Explosive Material
The invention relates to a material with high anti-explosivity and vaporization reduction, which is an alloy of aluminum, nano activated carbon or nano graphene and a plurality of other metal elements in the form of an engineered mesh (cylindrical forms—inner jacket) that represents 2% of the internal volume of the content of oil, its derivatives and gas. The material has high absorptivity and high absorptivity, suppresses the movement of gas particles and fumes, improves the flash point by 35%, the ignition temperature by 40% and reduces evaporation by 70%, thereby preventing the explosion of oil, its derivatives and gas upon exposure (fire, collision, static electricity, high heat, being struck by a projectile). Separately, the polymer sodium polyacrylate is added to crude oil to improve its properties and protect it from explosion.
MULTI-USE FUEL FILLER TUBE
A fuel tube filler neck includes a first thread is formed on an inner surface and a second thread formed on an outer surface. The first thread, second thread, and tube may be co-molded of thermoplastic (e.g., nylon) and the first and second thread may overlap one another. The outer surface includes a cylindrical portion and a recessed portion, the second thread being formed on the recessed portion. Attachment structures are secured to the fuel tube for mounting the fuel tube to a fuel tank. A first type of fuel cap is engaged with the first thread and a second type of fuel cap is engaged with the second thread. Vehicles with different types of fuel caps may be shipped to different geographic regions.
TANK SHELL WITH MOUNTED COMPONENT ARRANGED LIQUID-TIGHT THEREON
A tank shell as a component of a motorized vehicle tank, where the tank shell includes as wall components a barrier foil and injection-molding material injected thereon at least locally on at least one side, where the tank shell exhibits an aperture configured for the arrangement of a functional component configured with a space section located on an internal side of the tank shell, wherein in a rim region of the tank shell surrounding the aperture there is arranged a socket component which at least section-wise is formed from a material different from the materials of the wall components of the tank shell, where the socket component is connected positively and/or is firmly bonded with the rim region of the tank shell.
Stiffening assembly for a fuel tank
A method of forming a tank with a stiffening assembly includes forming a fuel tank such that the tank wall carries at least a first and second insert, locating a connecting assembly within the tank interior aligned with the first and second inserts, the connecting assembly including a tubular body, a first coupler, and a second coupler, and coupling at least a portion of the first insert with the first coupler and at least a portion of the second insert with the second coupler to limit movement of the two wall portions relative to each other.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LIQUID CONTAINER, LIQUID CONTAINER FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND STRUCTURE FOR REDUCING SLOSHING SOUNDS
The invention relates to a method for producing a liquid container (28) for a motor vehicle, having the method steps: providing a wall (14), which is provided in order to delimit an interior chamber (26) of the liquid container (28) for receiving a liquid (34); providing a structure (2), which is provided in order to be arranged in order to reduce sloshing noises in the interior chamber (26) of the liquid container (28), wherein the structure (2) comprises a random arrangement of threads (4) cross-linked with each other and wherein a plurality of the threads (4) of the structure (2) are integrally joined, at least in sections, to at least one or more additional threads (4) of the structure (2), such that a substantially monolithic structure (2) is formed; connecting the structure (2) to the wall (14).
SANDWICH MOTOR VEHICLE TANK COMPRISING A BARRIER FILM AND INJECTION-MOLDED INNER TANK WALLS AND OUTER TANK WALLS
A motor vehicle tank, having a first tank shell and a second tank shell, the first tank shell and the second tank shell defining between each other at least one section of a tank volume of the motor vehicle tank, the first tank shell and the second tank shell respectively having an edge area having a joining flange, the first tank shell and the second tank shell being integrally joined to each other at their joining flanges across a common joining surface, the first tank shell and the second tank shell respectively being a multicomponent tank shell, which includes a barrier film and at least on its edge area an inner wall section that is injection molded onto the inner side of the barrier film pointing toward the tank volume as well as an outer wall section injection molded onto the outer side of the barrier film pointing away from the tank volume, wherein the barrier film of each tank shell is formed in such a way that with the approach to the common joining surface in the area of the joining flange it runs away from the tank volume and toward the outer tank side, so that an integral joint of the tank shells is formed from a first joining area situated closer to the tank volume, in which the injection molded inner tank wall sections of the two tank shells are joined to each other, and a second joining area situated further removed from the tank volume, in which the barrier films of the two tank shells are joined to each other.
SANDWICH MOTORIZED VEHICLE TANK WITH EVERTED BARRIER FOIL AND THEREON AT LEAST LOCALLY INJECTED THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL
A motorized vehicle tank, having a first tank shell and a second tank shell, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell between them define at least one section of a tank volume of the motorized vehicle tank, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell are connected with each other, where at least one tank shell out of the first and the second tank shell is a multicomponent tank shell which exhibits a barrier foil and at least area-wise an inner wall section injected by injection-molding onto the internal side of the barrier foil facing towards the tank volume and/or an outer wall section injected by injection-molding onto the external side of the barrier foil facing away from the tank volume; the motorized vehicle tank exhibits in at least one tank wall section formed from the multicomponent tank shell an eversion formed integrally at the barrier foil, which projects relative to the tank wall region surrounding it.
