Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a refueling device that supplies gasoline and other oils at gas stations and the like.

(b) Prior art and its problems In recent years, automobiles have gradually become larger, and the length of the refueling hose in the refueling device is regulated by law, and there is a limit to how long it can be made.

Therefore, as seen in 1982-1000, a type of oil supply device was developed in which a long hole was formed in the bottom of a box installed at a predetermined height, and the base of the hose moved horizontally within the range of this long hole. began to be used, but even with this type of refueling device, it is not possible to extend the moving distance of the hose root part indefinitely, and in fact, for safety reasons, the box housing the hose moving device does not protrude from the island. It has become a degree. However, when the fuel filler port of a large vehicle is located on the opposite side of the fuel filler, the nozzle often cannot reach it.

(c) Structure and operation to solve the problem This application proposes a refueling device that can further increase the reach of the nozzle even with the same box size, and its structure is based on a dirt floor. Inside the box, which is installed at a predetermined height by a support member installed on the island, has a horizontal linear elongated hole formed on the bottom surface and a moving platform that moves along the elongated hole. Connect the downstream pipe ends of the pump and flowmeter to the refueling hose, attach a fixed frame in the middle of the refueling hose, and attach the fixed frame to the movable table so that it can swing within a vertical plane including the direction of the elongated hole. In addition, a notch is provided in the vertical surface of the outer panel of the box body on the extension line of the elongated hole, and the refueling hose is led out through the elongated hole, and a nozzle is connected to the tip of the refueling hose. When the hose is pulled to the maximum extent in the direction of the elongated hole, the fixed frame rotates with the hose relative to the movable table, and the hose is led out from the notch.

(D) Embodiment 1 is a fuel supply device installed on an island I formed on a dirt floor G, and inside the lower box part (which also serves as a support member for the upper box part) there is a fuel supply device (not shown) for oil supply. The piping connected to the pump, flow meter, and hose 3 is housed, and the upper end has a nozzle 2 at the tip.
A box body 4 is provided that houses a moving device (to be described later) for the hose 3 connected to the hose 3.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a linear elongated hole formed in the lower surface 6 of the box body 4, and the hose 3 is led out through this elongated hole 5.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a movable table, and the shaft 9 installed on each movable table 7 is used as a rotation axis, and the four wheels 10 are arranged to sandwich a rail 8 installed in the direction of the elongated hole 5 from above and below. It is held so as to be movable in the K direction along the rail 8.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a cylindrical holder through which the hose 3 is inserted, and is fixed to the hose 3. This holder 11 is attached to the movable table 7 via a swing shaft 12 in a vertical plane including the direction of the rail 8, that is, the direction of the elongated hole 5. It is integrally fixed to a bracket 13 which is swingably connected to form a fixed frame 14.

15, 15 are notches connected to the long hole 5 formed in the vertical direction surface 6' of the outer panel of the box body on an extension of the long hole 5, and the width thereof is ensured to be a size that allows the holder 11 to be exposed outside the box body. ing. 8' is a stopper for the moving table 7.

In the above configuration, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS. 2 and 4, in the conventional oil supply device, when the hose 3' is moved to its end, the hose 3' is forced (with a bending radius) at the holder 11'. However, in the present application, the fixed frame 14 swings in the S direction about the shaft 12 relative to the movable table 7, so even if the moving distances of the holders 11 and 11' are the same, the hose 3 is bent as shown by the solid line. There is no need to overdo it, and furthermore, the reach distance of the nozzle 2 is lengthened by the amount indicated by the arrow L.

(E) Effect As detailed above, the fixed frame fixed in the middle of the hose can swing in a vertical plane including the direction of the elongated hole inside the box, and furthermore, By creating a notch in the vertical plane of the plate that connects the elongated hole, the fixed frame can swing and be exposed outside the box at the moving end, making it possible to further extend the nozzle's reach even if the moving distance is the same. Therefore, the range of lubrication can be expanded without increasing the dimensions of the box, the hose will last longer as no unreasonable force is applied to the hose, and the swinging part of the fixed frame is inside the box. , its mechanical parts are not visible from the outside, which means that its appearance remains the same as conventional products and can maintain its sleek appearance.
