Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a refueling device, and particularly to a ground-mounted refueling device.

Conventionally, a fuel supply device has been used in which a nozzle hook is provided on a support wall, and the wall portion of the fuel supply device body, such as a side wall or a top wall of the fuel supply device body that is fixedly installed on an island, is used as the support wall. ing.

By the way, in conventional refueling devices of this type, the nozzle hanging part is fixed to the support wall, so when the refueling nozzle is attached or detached from the nozzle hanging part, the worker's wrist or elbow may be turned in an unnatural direction. It had to be bent, making it difficult to operate.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention aims to provide a refueling device in which the refueling nozzle can be easily attached and detached. Accordingly, the refueling nozzle can be easily attached and detached from the nozzle hanging part without bending the worker's wrist or elbow in an unnatural direction.

The illustrated embodiment will be explained below.

Figures 1 and 2 are reference diagrams for explaining the present invention. In the figures, 1 is the main body of the oil supply device,
This is installed vertically on the island 2.
A pump 3 and a motor 4 for driving the pump are provided in the main body 1. The suction side of the pump 3 is connected to an underground tank (not shown) via piping 5, and a flow meter is installed on the discharge side of the pump 3. 6 is connected.
A pipe 7 connected to the discharge side of the flow meter 6 extends to a side wall 1A of the main body 1, which is a supporting wall perpendicular to the island 2, and a refueling hose 8 connected to the pipe 7 is connected to the side wall 1A. A refueling nozzle 9 is attached to the tip of the refueling hose 8.

A nozzle hanging part 10 is attached to the side wall 1A, and the attachment and detachment of the refueling nozzle 9 to the nozzle hanging part 10 is detected by a switch device 11, and the motor 4 is controlled on/off by this detection signal. It's summery.

The nozzle hanging part 10 is the grip part 9A of the refueling nozzle 9.
It has a receiving frame part 10A that supports the refueling nozzle 9, and a receiving cylinder part 10B that receives the tip pipe part 9B of the refueling nozzle 9. Here, the receiving frame part 10A and the receiving cylinder part 10B are integrally provided on the mounting plate 10C. , side wall 1A
The refueling nozzle 9 is supported so that the plane defined by the grip part 9A, the pipe part 9B, and the lever 12 is orthogonal to the grip part 9A, the pipe part 9B, and the lever 12. The nozzle hanging part 10 is attached to the side wall 1A in a state of being inclined forward at an angle θ with respect to a plane (vertical plane) orthogonal to the side wall 1A.

In the refueling apparatus configured as described above, when performing refueling work, the user grips the grip portion 9A of the refueling nozzle 9 to eject the pipe portion 9B from the receiving cylinder portion 10B and removes the grip portion 9A from the receiving frame portion 10A. in this case,
Since the nozzle hanging part 10 is inclined forward by an angle θ, there is no need for the worker to bend his or her wrist or elbow in an unnatural direction. When the refueling nozzle 9 is removed from the nozzle hanging part 10, the switch device 11 detects this, the motor 4 is activated, and the pump 3 is driven. Next, when a lever 12 provided in the fuel nozzle 9 is operated, a valve provided in the fuel nozzle 9 opens and gasoline or the like is discharged from the pipe portion 9B of the fuel nozzle 9.

When refueling is finished, the pipe portion 9B of the refueling nozzle 9 is inserted into the receiving barrel portion 10B, and the grip portion 9A is latched onto the receiving frame portion 10A. Even when performing this latching work, since the nozzle hanging part 10 is inclined by the angle θ, there is no need for the operator to bend his or her wrist or elbow in an unnatural direction. When the refueling nozzle 9 is hooked to the nozzle hook 10, the switch device 11 detects this and stops the motor 4.

As described above, the device for attaching and detaching the refueling nozzle 9 from the nozzle hanging part 10 can be done without bending the worker's wrist or elbow in an unnatural direction, making the work easier and reducing worker fatigue. It will be done. However, in the case of the refueling device described above, it is possible if the working position of the worker who attaches and detaches the refueling nozzle 9 from the nozzle hook 10 is fixed at a predetermined position with respect to the main body of the refueling device. If the angle is not fixed relative to the main body of the refueling device, or if the operator's handedness differs, the work may become even more difficult.

3 and 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, and in the figures, the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same components as in the above embodiment.

This example is characterized in that the nozzle hanging part 10 is rotatable so that the inclination angle θ of the nozzle hanging part 10 can be adjusted.
0A and the mounting plate 10C has a pivot shaft 10D.
to the side wall 1A of the oil supply device main body 1 via the side wall 1
It is rotatably installed in parallel with A, and side wall 1
In A, a window part 1B for receiving the receiving cylinder part 1B is formed in an arc shape symmetrical to the vertical axis with the pivot axis 10D as the center, and through a long hole 1C formed in a concentric arc shape near the window part 1B, A fixing screw 13 is screwed onto a leg portion 10E protruding from the mounting plate 10C. 14 is a cover for keeping the inside of the main body 1 airtight. Note that here, a switch push pin 11A that passes through the pivot shaft 10D and forms a part of the switch device 11 protrudes to the outside, and when the refueling nozzle is hooked to this nozzle hook 10, the switch 11B is When the refueling nozzle is kept in the OFF state and removed from the nozzle hanging part 10, the switch push pin 11A projects outward, the switch 11B is turned on, and the motor for driving the pump is activated.

In the case of the device of this example, since the nozzle hanging portion 10 is inclined by the angle θ, the same effect as the oil supply device shown in the reference diagram can be obtained. By tightening the fixing screw 13 at an arbitrary position within the elongated hole 1C, the nozzle hanging part 10 is rotatably attached along the side wall 1A, and the inclination angle θ of the nozzle hanging part 10 is adjusted to the side wall 1A. Since it can be freely adjusted and rotated along the axis, it has the advantage that the optimum inclination angle can be selected depending on the installation conditions of the oil supply apparatus main body and the usage conditions depending on the working position of the worker. In addition, in this example device, if the fixing screw 13 is loosely tightened and the nozzle hook 10 is used in a rotatable state, the nozzle hook can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the worker's working position and dominant arm during refueling work. The tilting refueling nozzle can be attached and detached.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and includes, for example, the following modifications.

The support wall for rotatably providing the nozzle hanging part is not limited to the side wall of the oil supply apparatus main body, but may be the upper wall of the oil supply apparatus main body, or the like.

The nozzle hanging part may be of any other form as long as it is rotatably provided.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention includes a receiving frame part that supports the refueling nozzle and a receiving cylinder part that receives the tip pipe part of the refueling nozzle, and a grip part that is attached to the wall part of the refueling apparatus main body. The nozzle hanger that supports the refueling nozzle is orthogonal to the plane defined by the pipe and the lever, and is rotatably pivoted almost parallel to the wall of the main body of the refueling device, so the refueling nozzle can be attached and removed from the nozzle hanger. When refueling, the nozzle hook can be rotated to tilt the refueling nozzle in a direction that does not put a strain on the worker. There is no need to bend your elbow in an unnatural direction. Therefore, the refueling nozzle can be easily attached and detached, and operator fatigue can be reduced.
