Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is a fuel tank mounted on a construction vehicle, etc.
This invention relates to a device for draining liquid in liquid containers such as oil pans and radiators.

Since the drain device for this type of liquid container is provided at the bottom of the liquid container, it has the disadvantage that it is difficult to operate the drain.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a fuel tank 1 of a construction vehicle is provided on a fender 4 provided on a vehicle body 2 via a bracket 3, and its lower portion is covered with a fender cover 5.

A drain socket 7 is provided on the bottom wall 1a of the fuel tank 1 via a nipple 6 to serve as a drain device, but since the drain socket 7 is covered with the fender cover 5, the fender cover 5 can be inspected. A window 8 is formed, and this inspection window 8
A lid 9 for opening and closing is provided with a hinge 10.

Because of this, when operating the drain pot 7, it is necessary to open the lid 9, insert your hand through the inspection window 8, and rotate the handle 7a. It is difficult to operate because it cannot be seen directly, and
This is undesirable as the drained fuel may stain your hands.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a drain device for liquid containers that allows easy drain operation by providing a drain device on the lid of the inspection window, and also prevents hands from getting dirty with drained liquid. The goal is to provide the following.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Note that the same members as those in the prior art are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

A drain socket 7 is provided on the back surface of the lid 9, and a nipple 12 connected to the drain socket 7 is connected to a nipple 6 provided on the bottom wall 1a of the fuel tank through a curved hose 13.

When the lid 9 is opened using the hinge 10 as a fulcrum, the drain pot 7 is exposed to the outside and can be seen directly from the outside. It doesn't get dirty.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to a drain device for the fuel tank 1, but can also be applied to a drain device for an oil pan or a radiator.

With the present invention as described above, the drain can be easily operated and the drained liquid does not stain hands.
