Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing structure for an oil supply hose, particularly an oil supply hose, installed in a gas supply station and used for supplying a fuel such as gasoline to an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Such a refueling device fixed on the ground is
As is well known, a refueling machine case is erected on an island provided on the ground, a refueling pipe communicating with an underground oil storage tank is started up in the refueling machine case, and a refueling pump connected to a refueling motor is connected to this refueling pipe and a flow rate. A nozzle that has a lubrication mechanism such as a meter, connects the lubrication hose leading to the outside of the lubricator housing to the tip of the lubrication pipe, provides the lubrication nozzle at the tip of the lubrication hose, and forms the lubrication nozzle on the side surface of the housing. It's hanging on the wall.

When refueling, remove the refueling nozzle from the nozzle hook and insert it into the refueling port of the vehicle.
The oil pump is driven to pump oil from the underground oil storage tank to the oil supply pipe and discharge it from the oil supply nozzle via the oil supply hose.

[0004]

Since the refueling hose is led out directly from the housing, if the refueling hose is lengthened, the refueling hose droops down around the housing when not in use, and the drooping droops greatly around the housing. It is dangerous to get in the way. In addition, the refueling hose drags on the ground when refueling, which is not good workability and is dangerous. For this reason, the length of the refueling hose cannot be increased, the reach of the refueling hose is narrow, and the refueling area is limited.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art, to extend the length of the refueling hose and to expand the refueling area, and at the same time, even if the refueling hose becomes longer, it slackens around the housing. An object of the present invention is to provide an oil supply device that does not hang down in a state, does not interfere with work or traveling of an automobile when not in use, and is easy to handle when in use.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a supporter standing upright to a side of a fueling machine housing, providing a retractor on the upper part of the supporter, and connecting a fuel supply hose pulled out from the housing. The gist of the invention is that the wire is connected to the retractor partway.

[0007]

According to the present invention, since the middle of the fuel supply hose pulled out from the housing is connected to the retractor on the upper part of the support, the middle of the fuel supply hose is pulled up above the housing when not in use. Therefore, even if the refueling hose is lengthened, the refueling hose does not sag outside the housing in a loose state.

Further, when the refueling hose is pulled in the direction of the vehicle to be refueled during use, the connection part in the middle of the refueling hose moves through the retractor in the downward pulling direction.
A refueling hose extends toward the car. Therefore, the reach of the fueling nozzle is expanded. Even if the refueling hose becomes long, it is supported by a retractor midway, so workability is good.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of a refueling device of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a ground-fixing type refueling machine standing upright on an island 4, and a housing 1a of the refueling machine 1 is underground. The oil supply pipe communicating with the oil storage tank is started up, and an oil supply pump connected to the oil supply motor and a flow meter connected to a flow rate pulse transmitter are provided in the middle of the oil supply pipe, and oil supply data such as the amount of oil supply is provided on the front surface of the housing 1a. The indicator 3 for displaying is provided.

An oil supply hose 5 is connected to the tip of the oil supply pipe,
This is led out from the upper part of the side surface of the housing 1a, and the nozzle 7 of the oil supply nozzle 6 provided on the same side surface at the tip of the oil supply hose 5
To provide.

On the island 4 on which the housing 1a stands, the housing 1 on the side where the refueling hose 5 is pulled out.
The column 8 is erected near the side of a. The support column 8 is, for example, about twice as high as the housing 1a, the upper end thereof is bent horizontally, and a retractor 9 for lifting the oil supply hose 5 is provided at the bent portion 8a.

As is well known, the retractor 9 has a built-in winding mechanism such as a mainspring, to which the wire 10 is attached.
The cords such as are retracted and stored freely. Then, the locking ring 11 was attached to the tip of the wire 10, and the locking ring 11 was fixed in the middle of the oil supply hose 5.

The refueling hose 5 thus drawn out from the housing 1a is lifted upward while being movably suspended downward by the retractor 9 via the engaging ring 11 and then drooped downward. After being bent into a U shape, the oil supply nozzle 6 at the tip is hooked on the nozzle hook 7. Therefore,
Housing 1a when refueling hose 5 is not in use even if it becomes long
There is no slack on the sides.

When the refueling machine 1 is used, if the refueling nozzle 6 is removed from the nozzle hook 7 and is pulled toward the refueling port of the automobile, the tensile force is transmitted to the refueling hose 5, and further the locking ring 11 is used to relieve it. It is transmitted to the tractor 9 and the wire 10
Is pulled and extended.

As a result, the refueling hose 5 is pulled down while the suspension fulcrum of the refueling hose 5 moves downward. Therefore,
Even if the vehicle stops at a position away from the fueling machine 1, the fueling nozzle 5 reaches the fueling port of the vehicle, and as a result, the fueling area is expanded. In this case, even if the refueling hose 5 becomes long, the retractor 9 supports the middle of the refueling hose 5, so that the weight of the hand holding the refueling nozzle 6 and the refueling hose 5 is reduced,
Easy to work with.

When the refueling is completed and the tensile force applied to the refueling hose 5 is removed, the wire 10 is wound into the case of the retractor 9, and the midway of the refueling hose 5 is pulled up by the retractor 9 to the state before refueling. Return.

In the first embodiment, the columns 8 are erected from one side of the housing 1a, but in the second example of FIG. 2, the columns 12 are erected from the left and right sides of the housing 1a.
A case 13 was installed between 2 and 12, and a retractor 9 was attached to the center of the lower surface of the case 13.

In this case, the suspension fulcrum of the refueling hose 5 by the upper retractor 9 is located at the center of the housing 1a.
When the vehicle is stopped on the side opposite to the drawing outlet of No. 1, the reach of the refueling nozzle 6 in this direction is expanded as compared with the first embodiment.

[0019]

As described above, the oil supply device of the present invention is
The length of the refueling hose can be increased and the refueling area can be expanded.At the same time, even if the refueling hose is long, it can be suspended above the housing, so it does not slacken around the housing. Does not interfere with work or running of the car when not in use. Further, since the suspension support member easily moves in the downward pulling direction during use, the refueling hose easily extends in the refueling direction and is easy to handle.
