FUEL PUMP MODULE FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18196267 titled 'FUEL PUMP MODULE FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a fuel pump module for a vehicle that includes a pump positioned in a reservoir cup in a tank, a mount plate, a return valve, a shaft bracket, a guide wall, and a channel.
- The pump is located in a reservoir cup in the tank and is responsible for suctioning and discharging fuel.
- The mount plate is mounted in an opening of the tank and includes a return valve to pass return fuel back into the tank.
- The shaft bracket connects the mount plate and the pump, fixing the pump to the mount plate.
- A guide wall on the shaft bracket directs the flow of return fuel through the return valve in the tank.
- A channel on the shaft bracket allows return fuel to flow down and discharge into the reservoir cup.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, to efficiently manage fuel flow and return fuel back into the tank.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of effectively returning fuel from the engine back into the tank while ensuring proper fuel suction and discharge by the pump.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved fuel system efficiency, reduced fuel wastage, and enhanced overall vehicle performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, fuel system suppliers, and aftermarket automotive companies to enhance the fuel pump modules in vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional fuel pump modules that may not have the same level of efficiency in returning fuel back into the tank while maintaining proper fuel flow.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact vehicle fuel efficiency?
This technology can potentially improve vehicle fuel efficiency by ensuring that fuel is effectively managed and returned to the tank, reducing wastage and optimizing fuel consumption.
What is the expected lifespan of this fuel pump module compared to traditional ones?
The expected lifespan of this fuel pump module could be longer due to its efficient design and functionality, but further testing and data would be needed to confirm this.
Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel pump module for a vehicle includes: a pump positioned in a reservoir cup in a tank and configured to suction and discharge fuel from the reservoir cup; a mount plate mounted in an opening of the tank; a return valve on the mount plate and configured to pass return fuel, which is returned from an engine, into the tank; a shaft bracket connecting the mount plate and the pump in the tank and configured to fix the pump to the mount plate; a guide wall disposed on the shaft bracket to guide return fuel flowing in the tank through the return valve; and a channel disposed at the shaft bracket so that return fuel flows down and configured to discharge the return fuel into the reservoir cup.
