본 발명은 차량의 엔진으로 연료를 공급하는 연료탱크에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 연료잔량을 연료탱크의 기울기에 상관없이 정확하게 확인시킬 수 있도록 이루어진 차량용 연료탱크의 연료잔량 보정장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a fuel tank for supplying fuel to an engine of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fuel residual amount correcting apparatus for a vehicle fuel tank configured to accurately check the fuel residual amount regardless of the inclination of the fuel tank.
일반적으로 차량의 연료탱크는 엔진으로 액체 연료를 공급하기 위하여 디젤유 내지는 가솔린 연료가 저장되는 것으로, 운전석의 계기판에는 이 연료탱크의 잔여연료를 확인할 수 있는 표시부가 설치되어 있는데, 이 표시부는 연료탱크의 연료위에 떠 있는 플로우트에 의하여 연료량이 나타나도록 되어 있다.In general, a fuel tank of a vehicle stores diesel oil or gasoline fuel to supply liquid fuel to an engine, and a display unit for checking the remaining fuel of the fuel tank is installed on the dashboard of the driver's seat. The amount of fuel is displayed by the float floating on the fuel.
그러나 종래 연료탱크(101)에는 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 플로우트(103)가 연결로드(102)를 통하여 설치되어 있는바, 따라서 차량이 경사진 구배길을 오르거나 내려갈때 연료탱크(101)의 잔여연료도 구배길 경사에 따라 경사지게 유지되어지기 때문에 도 4의 일점쇄선 또는 2점쇄선과 같이 플로우트(103)에 의한 잔여연료량의 점검이 차이가 나게 나타낼 수 밖에 없었다.However, in the conventional fuel tank 101, as shown in FIG. 4, the float 103 is installed through the connecting rod 102. Therefore, when the vehicle moves up or down a sloped slope, the fuel tank 101 Since the residual fuel is also kept inclined according to the slope of the slope, the inspection of the residual fuel amount by the float 103, as shown by the dashed line or the dashed line of FIG.
이에 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 발명된 것으로, 차량이 주행할때 평지나 구배진 도로에 상관없이 항상 일정한 연료탱크의 잔여 연료량을 나타낼 수 있도록 이루어진 차량용 연료탱크의 연료잔량 보정장치를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the conventional problems as described above, the fuel residual amount correction device for a vehicle fuel tank made so that it can always represent the remaining fuel amount of a constant fuel tank regardless of the flat or gradient roads when the vehicle is running The purpose is to provide.

상기와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은 연료탱크 내부에 연결로드를 매개로 플로우트를 설치하여 이루어진 연료탱크의 연료잔량 확인장치에 있어서, 상기 연결로드가 양쪽 플로우트의 중간 연결부에 설치되어 이루어진 구조로 되어 있다.The present invention for achieving the above object is in the fuel tank fuel remaining amount checking device made by installing a float through the connecting rod inside the fuel tank, the connecting rod is configured to be installed in the intermediate connecting portion of both floats It is.
이하, 본 발명을 첨부된 예시도면에 따라 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1은 본 발명에 다른 연료탱크의 연료잔량 보정장치를 나타낸 설치상태도이다. 도면에 도시한 바와 같이 연료탱크(1) 내부에 연결로드(2)를 매개로 플로우트(3)를 설치하여 이루어진 연료탱크의 연료잔량 확인장치에 있어서, 상기 연결로드(2)가 양쪽 플로우트(3a,3b)의 연결부(4)의 중간에 연결되어 이루어진 구조로 되어 있다.1 is an installation state diagram showing a fuel remaining amount correction device of the fuel tank according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the fuel tank fuel remaining amount checking device formed by installing the float 3 inside the fuel tank 1 via the connecting rod 2, the connecting rod 2 is connected to both floats 3a. It is structured to be connected in the middle of the connection part 4 of (3b).
여기서 상기 연결부(4)에 설치되는 양쪽 플로우트(3a,3b)는 연료탱크(1)의 저장연료량에서 부력으로 뜨게 되어 있으며, 이들 사이의 간격은 적당하게 이격되어 설치되어 있다.Here, both floats 3a and 3b provided in the connecting portion 4 are floated by buoyancy in the amount of fuel stored in the fuel tank 1, and the intervals between them are appropriately spaced apart.
한편, 도 2와 도 3은 차량이 구배진 도로를 주행할때 차량에 부착된 연료탱크(1)내에 있는 잔여연료의 기울기상태를 나타낸 도면들로서, 이 연료탱크(1)의 잔여연료가 한쪽으로 기울어져 있더라도 본 발명에 따른 장치는 연결로드(2)가 양쪽 플로우트(3a,3b)를 연결하는 연결부(4)의 중간에 설치되어 있음에 따라 연료잔량의 확인을 항상 수평위치상태때의 위치에서와 같이 점검할 수 있도록 되어 있는 것이다.On the other hand, Figures 2 and 3 are views showing the inclination of the residual fuel in the fuel tank (1) attached to the vehicle when the vehicle is traveling on the gradient road, the residual fuel of the fuel tank (1) to one side Even if inclined, the device according to the present invention always checks the remaining fuel at the position in the horizontal position as the connecting rod 2 is installed in the middle of the connecting portion 4 connecting both floats 3a and 3b. It is to be checked as follows.
상기와 같이 본 발명에 따른 연료탱크의 연료잔량 보정장치는 차량의 기울기에 따라 함께 기울어지는 연료탱크의 연료량을 어떠한 위치상태에서도 양쪽 플로우트를 이용하여 정확하게 확인할 수 있음에 따라 제품의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 잇점을 갖게 된다.As described above, the fuel remaining amount correcting device of the fuel tank according to the present invention can accurately check the fuel amount of the fuel tank inclined together according to the inclination of the vehicle by using both floats at any position, thereby improving the reliability of the product.
