본 발명은 연료 주입 캡과 연료 주입구 도어의 닫힘 확인 경보 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a closing confirmation alarm device of the fuel injection cap and the fuel inlet door.
연료 탱크에 연료를 주입하기 위해서는 제4도에 도시하는 것과 같이 연료 주입구 도어(6)를 열고 연료 탱크에 접속되어 주입구 하우징(3)으로 연장된 주입구 파이프(1)로부터 연료 주입 캡(2)을 탈거 시킨후 주유기의 노즐을 주입구 파이프(1)에 삽입하여 연료를 보충하게 된다.In order to inject fuel into the fuel tank, as shown in FIG. 4, the fuel inlet door 6 is opened and the fuel injection cap 2 is removed from the inlet pipe 1 connected to the fuel tank and extending to the inlet housing 3. After removal, the nozzle of the lubricator is inserted into the inlet pipe 1 to replenish fuel.
그러나 주유소에서의 연료 주입시 종업원이 연료 주입캡(2)을 주입구 파이프(1)에 정착하는 것을 잊어버리고 연료 주입 캡(2)을 트렁크 리드위에 올려 놓은 채 연료 주입구 도어(6)를 닫게 되는 경우가 종종 발생하므로써 개방된 주입구 파이프(1)를 통해 차량을 운행중 연료가 유출되어 화재 사고로 이어지는 문제점이 있었다.However, when the fuel injection at the gas station, the employee forgets to set the fuel injection cap (2) in the inlet pipe (1) and closes the fuel inlet door (6) with the fuel injection cap (2) on the trunk lid Is often caused by the fuel flowing out while driving the vehicle through the open inlet pipe (1) there was a problem leading to a fire accident.
이에 본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 감안하여 제안한 것으로서 연료 주입 캡과 연료 주입구 도어가 주유 후 안전하게 닫혀지지 않았을 시 이를 운전자에게 경보하므로써 연료 유출에 따른 화재 위험을 예방하는 연료 주입캡(Feul Filler cap)과 연료 주입구 도어(Feul Filler cap door)의 닫힘 확인 경보 장치를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and when the fuel injection cap and the fuel inlet door are not safely closed after refueling, the fuel injection cap prevents a fire risk due to fuel leakage by alerting the driver of the fuel filler cap and the fuel inlet door. An object of the present invention is to provide a closing confirmation alarm device for a fuel filler cap door.
상기한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명은 연료 탱크에 연료를 주입하도록 주입구 하우징으로 연장되는 연료 주입 파이프와, 연료 주입 파이프를 개폐하는 연료 주입구 캡과, 상기 주입구 하우징을 개폐하도록 도어 아웃터 패널에 힌지로 회동 가능하도록 달아붙여지는 연료 주입구 도어를 포함하는 연료 주입 장치에 있어서, 상기 연료 주입구 도어의 내측에 장착되어 상기 연료 주입구 캡에 접촉시 회로를 오프하며 접촉되지 않을 때에는 회로를 온 접속하는 스위치 기구아; 및 상기 스위치 기구의 온시에 점등 되도록 운전석 계기판에 마련되는 경고등과를 포함하여 구성되는 것을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fuel inlet pipe extending to the inlet housing to inject fuel into the fuel tank, a fuel inlet cap to open and close the fuel inlet pipe, and a hinge to the door outer panel to open and close the inlet housing. A fuel injection device comprising a fuel inlet door that is attached to be rotatable, the fuel injection device comprising: a switch mechanism mounted inside the fuel inlet door to turn off the circuit upon contact with the fuel inlet cap and to turn on the circuit when not in contact; ; And a warning light provided in the driver's seat instrument panel to be turned on when the switch mechanism is turned on.

이하 본 발명의 실시예를 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
제1도는 본 발명에 의한 연료 주입 캡과 연료 주입구 도어의 닫힘 확인 경보 장치를 나타내는 도면으로 도면중 부호 1은 연료 주입 파이프로서 그의 상부의 주입구는 연료 주입 캡(2)으로 닫혀 있으며 그의 하단은 도시하지 아니한 연료 탱크에 접속되어 연료 주입 캡(2)을 열고 주유기의 노즐을 연료 주입 파이프(1)내에 삽입시켜 주유시 연료 탱크로 연료의 유입을 안내한다.1 is a view showing a closing confirmation alarm device of the fuel injection cap and the fuel inlet door according to the present invention. The fuel injection cap 2 is opened and the nozzle of the lubricator is inserted into the fuel injection pipe 1 to guide the inflow of fuel into the fuel tank at the time of refueling.
상기 연료 주입 파이프(1)의 상단은 주입구 하우징(3)내에 돌출하며 그 주입구 하우징(3)은 힌지(4)로 회동 가능하게 도어 아웃터 패널(5)에 달아 붙여지는 연료 주입구 도어(6)에 의해 개폐된다.The upper end of the fuel injection pipe 1 protrudes in the inlet housing 3 and the inlet housing 3 is attached to the fuel inlet door 6 which is attached to the door outer panel 5 so as to be pivotable by the hinge 4. By opening and closing.
상기 연료 주입구 도어(6)의 내측에는 스위치 기구(7)가 장착되며 스위치 기구(7)는 케이스(8)와 플런저 스위치(9)와 그 플런저 스위치(9)를 탄발 지지하는 리턴 스프링(10)과로 구성되며 플런저 스위치(9)의 길게 돌출된 선단이 연료 주입 캡(2)에 접촉한다.A switch mechanism 7 is mounted inside the fuel inlet door 6, and the switch mechanism 7 has a return spring 10 that supports the casing 8, the plunger switch 9, and the plunger switch 9 in a bombshell. The overhanging tip of the plunger switch 9 is in contact with the fuel injection cap 2.
상기 연료 주입구 도어(6)가 닫힌 상태에서 상기 플런저 스위치(9)는 연료 주입구 캡(2)에 의해 눌려지게 되며 이에따라 리턴스프링(10)을 압축하면서 후퇴되어 접점(11)(12)으로부터 떨어지게 된다.When the fuel inlet door 6 is closed, the plunger switch 9 is pressed by the fuel inlet cap 2, thereby retracting while compressing the return spring 10 to be separated from the contact 11 and 12. .
부호 13은 상기 스위치 기구(7)의 온 접속시에 점등되는 경고 등으로 운전석의 계기판, 즉 크러스터(cluster)에 마련된다.Reference numeral 13 is a warning light that is turned on when the switch mechanism 7 is turned on, and is provided on the dashboard of the driver's seat, that is, the cluster.
그리고 플런저 스위치(9)가 접촉하는 연료 주입 캡(2)의 표면은 플런저 스위치(9)의 누름 작동이 원활하도록 연료 주입구 도어(6)면과 평행을 유지하는 경사면(14)으로 형성되어 있다.And the surface of the fuel injection cap 2 which the plunger switch 9 contacts is formed with the inclined surface 14 which keeps parallel with the fuel inlet door 6 surface so that the plunger switch 9 may be pushed smoothly.
이와같은 본 발명은 연료 주입시에 운전석에 있는 연료 주입구 도어(6)의 잠금 해제 레버를 당기면 케이블 견인에 의해 연료 주입구 도어(6)의 잠금 상태가 해제되면서 토숀스프링의 탄발력에 의해 연료 주입구 도어(6)가 열린다. (잠금 장지 등의 구성은 도시를 생력하였음)In the present invention as described above, the fuel inlet door is released by the repulsive force of the torsion spring while the fuel inlet door 6 is released by pulling the lock release lever of the fuel inlet door 6 in the driver's seat during fuel injection. (6) is opened. (The composition of the locks, etc. made the city live)
연료 주입구 도어(6)가 열리면 플런저 스위치(9)의 누름 상태가 해제되고 플런저 스위치(9)는 리턴스프링(10)의 탄발력에 의해 이동하여 접점(11)(12)에 닿아 회로를 온 접속하므로 운전석 계기판상의 경고등(13)이 점등된다.When the fuel inlet door 6 is opened, the pressed state of the plunger switch 9 is released, and the plunger switch 9 is moved by the elastic force of the return spring 10 to reach the contacts 11 and 12 to connect the circuit. Therefore, the warning lamp 13 on the driver's seat instrument panel lights up.
운전자는 이를보고 연료 주입구 도어(6)가 현재 개방 되었음을 알게 된다.The driver sees this and knows that the fuel inlet door 6 is now open.
연료 주입구 도어(6)가 열리면 주유소의 급유원은 연료 주입 캡(2)을 빼내고 주유기 노즐을 연료 주입 파이프(1)내에 삽입하여 연료를 주입하게 된다.When the fuel inlet door 6 is opened, the fuel supply source of the gas station pulls out the fuel injection cap 2 and inserts a fuel tank nozzle into the fuel injection pipe 1 to inject fuel.
연료의 주입이 끝나면 연료 주입 캡(2)을 다시 연료 주입 파이프(1)에 끼운 후 연료 주입구 도어(6)를 닫는다.After the injection of fuel, the fuel injection cap 2 is inserted back into the fuel injection pipe 1 and the fuel injection port door 6 is closed.
연료 주입구 도어(6)가 닫히게 되면 플런저 스위치(9)의 선단이 연료주입 캡(2)에 의해 눌려져 접점(11)(12)으로부터 떨어져 회로를 오프시키게 되므로 계기 판상의 경고등(13)은 소등된다.When the fuel inlet door 6 is closed, the tip of the plunger switch 9 is pressed by the fuel injection cap 2 to turn off the circuit away from the contacts 11 and 12, so that the warning light 13 on the instrument panel goes out. .
이에따라 운전자는 경고등(13)의 소등 상태를 확인하는 순간 연로 주입 캡(2)과 연료 주입구도어(6) 모두가 정상적으로 닫아졌음을 알 수 있게 된다.Accordingly, the driver can know that both the fuel injection cap 2 and the fuel injection door 6 are normally closed at the moment of confirming the extinguishing state of the warning light 13.
그러나 만일 연료 주입 캡(2)을 닫는 것을 잊고 연료 주입구 도어(6)만 닫았을 경우에는 플런저 스위치(9)거 눌려지지 아니하므로 리턴스프링(10)에 의해 전진하여 회로를 온 접속하게 되므로 계기판의 경고등(13)은 계속 점등 상태에 있게된다.However, if the fuel inlet cap 2 is forgotten and the fuel inlet door 6 is closed, the plunger switch 9 is not depressed so that the circuit is advanced by the return spring 10 so that the circuit is turned on. The warning light 13 remains in a lit state.
따라서 운전자는 경고등(13)이 주유 완료 후에도 점등 상태로 있으면 연료 주입 캡(2)이나 또는 연료 주입구 도어(6)가 제대로 닫혔는가를 확인하여 필요한 조치를 취하므로써 연료 주입 캡(2)의 미장착으로 인한 대형 화재사고 유발을 사전에 방지하게 되는 것이다.Therefore, if the warning light 13 remains on even after the fueling is completed, the driver checks whether the fuel injection cap 2 or the fuel inlet door 6 is properly closed, and takes necessary measures. It is to prevent the large-scale fire accidents caused by.
이상과 같은 본 발명에 의하면 연료 주입 캡과 연료 주입구 도어가 닫혀 있지 아니한 상태에서는 회로를 온 접속하여 경고 등을 점등시키게 되는 스위치 기구를 연료 주입구 도어 내측면에 장착하므로써 연료 주입 후 실수로 연료 주입 캡의 장착을 잊었을 경우에 경고등의 점등을 보고 이를 확인하여 필요한 조치를 취하는 것이 가능하여 연료 유출에 따른 대형 화재 사고를 미연에 방지하게 되는 효과가 있다.According to the present invention as described above, when the fuel injection cap and the fuel inlet door are not closed, the fuel injection cap is inadvertently inserted after the fuel injection by attaching a switch mechanism on the inner surface of the fuel inlet door to turn on the circuit by turning on the circuit. If you forget to install the warning lights, you can see the warning lights and take the necessary measures to prevent the large-scale fire accidents caused by fuel leakage in advance.
