Since the fuel tank 10 is also inclined at the same angle in a state where the vehicle is inclined at a predetermined angle so as to be attached to the vehicle body, the fuel in the fuel tank 10 is mounted in the inclined side and mounted inside the fuel tank 10. The fuel level sensor 30 can not accurately measure the amount of fuel, the fuel gauge inside the vehicle rises, or a fuel shortage warning light is activated, which causes the driver to be embarrassed when driving. The problem was that the reliability of the vehicle was deteriorated.

The ball bearings move parallel to the direction of gravity in the fuel tank outer cylinder so that the fuel level in the fuel tank can be accurately measured by the fuel level sensor, preventing the fuel gauge from rising even if there is no fuel or turning on the alarm light even when there is little fuel. The purpose is to ensure vehicle reliability.
이하, 본 발명의 구성 및 동작원리를 첨부된 도면에 의거 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the configuration and operation principle of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
본 발명은 제2도에 도시된 바와 같이, 연료를 주입하는 연료 주입구(20)와, 연료탱크(10)내의 연료량을 측정하는 연료레벨 센서(30)로 구성된 연료탱크 구조에 있어서, 상기 연료탱크(10)의 형상을 타원의 입체형태로 구성하고, 상기 연료탱크(10)를 지지하기 위해 차체에 고정되도록 설치된 연료탱크 외통(40)과, 차량이 어떠한 각도로 기울어지더라도 상기 연료탱크(10)가 중력의 방향과 항상 평행하게 유지되도록 상기 연료탱크(10)와 연료탱크 외통(40) 사이에서 좌우나 전후로 연료탱크(10)의 유동이 가능하도록 착설된 볼 베어링(50)으로 구성된 것이다.As shown in FIG. 2, the fuel tank structure includes a fuel inlet 20 for injecting fuel and a fuel level sensor 30 for measuring the amount of fuel in the fuel tank 10. The shape of the (10) is configured in the shape of an ellipse, the fuel tank outer cylinder (40) installed to be fixed to the vehicle body to support the fuel tank (10), and the fuel tank (10) no matter what angle the vehicle is inclined. The ball bearing 50 is installed so as to allow the flow of the fuel tank 10 to the left and right or back and forth between the fuel tank 10 and the fuel tank outer cylinder 40 so that) is always parallel to the direction of gravity.
상기 구성의 동작원리와 작용 효과를 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The operation principle and operation effect of the configuration will be described in detail as follows.
먼저 차량이 경사진 곳이나 비포장 도로를 주행하다보면 어느 일정량 연료가 연료탱크(10)내에 있음에도 불구하고 차량이 기울어진 각도만큼 연료탱크(10)도 기울어지게 되어 연료가 한쪽으로 몰리면서 연료레벨 센서(30)에서 연료의 량을 감지하지 못하여 경보등이 켜지는 문제점이 있었고, 또한 연료탱크(10)내에 연료가 조금밖에 없는데도 연료레벨 센서(30)쪽으로 연료가 몰려 연료게이지가 올라가게 되는 문제점이 발생하였는데, 제2도에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에서는 상기 구성에서 설명한 바와 같이, 종래의 연료탱크(10)의 형상을 타원의 입체형태로 구성하고, 상기 연료탱크(10)를 지지하기 위해 차체에 고정되고 상기 연료탱크(10)의 하측으로 차량이 기울어지는 각도에 따라 연료탱크(10)가 중력의 힘과 평행을 이루도록 볼 베어링(50)으로 연료탱크 외통(40)에 연료탱크(10)가 착설되도록 하여 차량이 어떠한 각도로 어떠한 방향으로 기울어지더라도 기울어지는 방향의 반대방향으로 중력의 힘이 작용되므로 상기 볼 베어링(50)에 의해 연료탱크(10)가 연료탱크 외통내에서 중력의 방향과 같은 방향, 즉 평행하도록 유동되는 것이다. 상기와 같이 동작됨으로써, 연료탱크(10)내에 연료레벨 센서(30)에서 정확하게 연료량을 측정할 수 있는 것이다.First, when the vehicle is driving on a slope or unpaved road, even though a certain amount of fuel is in the fuel tank 10, the fuel tank 10 is also inclined by the angle of inclination of the vehicle, so that the fuel is driven to one side and the fuel level sensor There was a problem that the alarm light is turned on because it does not detect the amount of fuel in (30), the fuel gauge is raised to the fuel level sensor 30, even if there is only a small amount of fuel in the fuel tank (10) occurs As illustrated in FIG. 2, in the present invention, as described in the above configuration, the shape of the conventional fuel tank 10 is configured in the shape of an ellipse, and the vehicle body is supported to support the fuel tank 10. It is fixed and the fuel tank with the ball bearing 50 so that the fuel tank 10 is parallel to the force of gravity in accordance with the angle of inclination of the vehicle to the lower side of the fuel tank 10 The fuel tank 10 is installed in the outer cylinder 40 so that even if the vehicle is inclined in any direction at any angle, the force of gravity is applied in the opposite direction to the inclined direction, so that the fuel tank 10 is moved by the ball bearing 50. ) Flows in the fuel tank outer cylinder in the same direction as the direction of gravity, i.e., parallel. By operating as described above, it is possible to accurately measure the amount of fuel in the fuel level sensor 30 in the fuel tank (10).
상기에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 종래의 연료탱크의 형상을 타원의 입체형으로 변형하고, 연료탱크를 지지할 수 있도록 연료탱크 외통을 차체에 고정할 수 있도록 설치하며, 차량이 경사진 상태에서도 상기 연료탱크가 중력의 방향과 평행하게 유지될 수 있도록 상기 연료탱크와 연료탱크 외통사이에 볼 베어링을 착설, 구성하여 어떠한 경사에서도 연료탱크내의 연료량을 정확하게 연료레벨 센서가 측정할 수 있도록 함으로써 운전자에게 연료에 대한 불안 및 당황감을 줄여주고 운전의 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있도록 한 획기적이고도 유용한 발명인 것이다.As described above, the present invention deforms the shape of the conventional fuel tank into an elliptic three-dimensional shape, and installed so that the fuel tank outer cylinder can be fixed to the vehicle body to support the fuel tank, even when the vehicle is inclined To ensure that the fuel tank is maintained parallel to the direction of gravity, a ball bearing is installed between the fuel tank and the outer tank of the fuel tank so that the fuel level sensor can accurately measure the amount of fuel in the fuel tank at any inclination.
