In addition, the valve spring 33 is disposed in the valve hole groove 13, one end of the valve spring 33 is connected to the groove bottom surface of the valve hole groove 13, the other end of the valve spring 33 is connected to one end of the valve core 32, and the other end of the valve core 32 is movably connected to the inner surface of the valve cover 31, as shown in fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion is disposed in the middle of the valve core 32, so that the valve spring 33 is abutted and connected. The valve spring 33 is used for supporting the valve core 32, and when the fuel pump inclines at an angle greater than or equal to 40 degrees, the valve core 32 is abutted against the nozzle of the exhaust pipe 311, and the fuel is prevented from leaking.

As shown in fig. 3, 4, 6 and 7, the valve element 32 includes a sealing gasket 321, an upper valve element 322 and a lower valve element 323, the sealing gasket 321 is disposed on the upper valve element 322, the upper valve element 322 is disposed on the lower valve element 323 in a limited range, the sealing gasket 321 is movably connected to the inner surface of the valve cover 31, in fig. 4, the sealing gasket 321 includes a sealing plane 3211 and a connecting post 3212, a sealing ring groove 32121 is disposed on the connecting post 3212, the upper valve element 322 includes a valve element surface 3221 and four valve element posts 3222, the end of the valve element post 3222 is in a barb shape, the valve element surface 3221 is a plane with a through hole in the middle, and after assembly, the sealing ring groove 32121 is connected to the middle through hole of the valve element surface 3221, so that the sealing gasket 321 is firmly clamped on the upper valve element 322; one end of the lower valve core 323 close to the upper valve core 322 comprises a valve core clamping ring groove 3231, after assembly, four valve core clamping columns 3222 are connected with the valve core clamping ring groove 3231, the upper valve core 322 is limited on the lower valve core 323 and cannot fall off, and the four valve core clamping columns 3222 move in the limiting range of the valve core clamping ring groove 3231.

In the embodiment of the present application, the sealing gasket 321 is used to be movably connected with the pipe opening of the exhaust pipe 311 to perform an opening and closing function, so that the sealing gasket 321 is made of a rubber material (FKM) and has high sealing performance, as shown in fig. 6, a ventilation through hole 3213 is formed in the middle of the sealing gasket 321; the upper valve core 322 is made of plastic materials (POM), the lower valve core 323 is used for supporting the upper valve core 322, and the lower valve core 323 is made of stainless steel materials (SUS304), under the design, as shown in fig. 6, when the fuel pump is in a vertical state, the weight of the valve core 32 overcomes the spring force and the internal pressure of the assembly of the valve spring 33, the exhaust pipe 311 is in an open state, when the fuel pump inclines, the axial component force of the gravity of the valve core 32 on the valve spring 33 is reduced, the spring force can push the valve core 32 to move upwards, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, when the inclination angle is larger than or equal to 40 degrees, the sealing gasket 321 is abutted against the pipe orifice of the exhaust pipe 311, the lower valve core is abutted against the ventilation through hole 3213 of the sealing gasket 321, the ventilation through hole 3213 is not ventilated, and the exhaust pipe 311 is in a closed state.

As described above, the roll-over valve of the present application is a 2-stage seal, the middle of the gasket 321 on the upper valve element 322 is provided with the ventilation through hole 3213, in a closed state, the gasket 321 closes the exhaust pipe 311, and the lower valve element 323 closes the ventilation through hole 3213 of the gasket 321. When the valve needs to be opened again, the lower valve core 323 overcomes the internal pressure and the elastic force of the spring to fall, the ventilation through hole 3213 of the sealing gasket 321 is communicated, the internal pressure disappears, at this time, the lower valve core 323 drives the upper valve core 322 to fall, and the large exhaust pipe 311 is completely opened.

Because the exhaust pipe 311 has a large diameter, if a single-stage valve core is used for sealing, the pressure of the internal pressure acting on the exhaust pipe 311 is large, and when the fuel pump is righted after the inclination angle is more than or equal to 40 degrees, the weight of the valve core 32 cannot overcome the internal pressure and the elastic force, so that the turnover valve cannot be reopened. After the small ventilation through hole 3213 is formed in the sealing gasket 321, the internal pressure generated therein is small, and after the weight is accurately set, the lower valve core 323 can fall down against the internal pressure and the elastic force of the spring during the reopening, so that the reopening operation is completed.

As shown in fig. 2, the fuel pump of the present application further includes a shock pad 50, the shock pad 50 is disposed on the bottom surface of the valve hole groove 13, the shock pad 50 corresponds to the valve element 32 and acts as a buffer for the valve element 32 when the valve element 32 moves downward, the shock pad 50 includes a middle through hole, and oil gas in the inner cavity can enter the valve hole groove 13 through the middle through hole of the shock pad 50 and be discharged from the exhaust pipe 311.

In fig. 2, the fuel pump of the present application further includes a float 60, a needle valve 70, a filter screen 80 and a pressure valve 90, the float 60, the needle valve 70, the filter screen 80 and the pressure valve 90 are disposed in the inner cavity, the needle valve 70 is disposed on the float 60, the float 60 is driven to move when floating up at the fuel, when the fuel reaches a set value, the needle valve 70 is closed to the nozzle of the fuel inlet pipe 12, the fuel does not enter the inner cavity, the fuel is pumped out, the float 60 descends to cause the needle valve 70 to open the nozzle of the fuel inlet pipe 12, and the fuel enters the inner cavity from the fuel inlet pipe 12; the middle part of the oil outlet pipe 11 is communicated with a pressure valve 90 through an oil return port, and the pressure valve 90 is used for keeping the pressure of oil in the oil outlet pipe 11 stable; the filter screen 80 is disposed at the oil inlet 43 of the pump body 40, and supplies the filtered fuel to the pump body 40 for pumping.

To sum up, the fuel pump of this application has the function of fuel feeding to the engine, still has oil-gas separation's effect, and the mode of realization sets up an blast pipe 311. After the fuel enters the inner cavity through the fuel inlet pipe 12, the oil and the gas are separated, the pump body 40 pumps the filtered fuel to the engine through the fuel outlet pipe 11, and the gas is discharged through the gas outlet pipe 311 arranged on the rollover valve 30. There is a problem in that when the fuel supply is excessive and the fuel pump is tilted or inverted, the fuel leaks from the exhaust pipe 311, causing environmental pollution and safety problems.

One solution to this problem is to provide a needle valve 70, float 60 and tumble valve 30 mechanism. When the fuel pump is inclined at an angle less than 40 degrees, and when a certain amount of fuel is fed into the fuel inlet pipe 12, the needle valve 70 mounted at the orifice of the fuel inlet pipe 12 is driven by the float 60 to be closed, so that fuel is not fed any more, and the fuel cannot leak from the exhaust pipe 311.

When the fuel pump inclination angle is larger than or equal to 40 degrees to 180 degrees, the float 60 cannot drive the needle valve 70 to close the nozzle of the fuel inlet pipe 12 for fuel inlet due to the buoyancy direction, and at the moment, the rollover valve 30 closes the nozzle of the exhaust pipe 311, so that fuel cannot leak from the exhaust pipe 311.

Compared with the prior art, the method has the following advantages:

firstly, the turnover valve is convenient to install, and can not leak oil when being tilted;

secondly, the fuel pump is guaranteed to pump oil continuously, and leakage of the fuel from the exhaust port due to excessive fuel is avoided.

The above disclosure is only for a few specific embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be considered by those skilled in the art are within the scope of the present application.
