FSAE racing car oil tank

Abstract

The invention relates to an FSAE racing car oil tank which comprises a shell and an oil pump arranged in the shell. The shell comprises a main oil chamber and a small oil chamber. The main oil chambercommunicates with the inside of the small oil chamber. The small oil chamber is formed in the lower portion of the main oil chamber. An oil collection unit collecting oil of the main oil chamber to the small oil chamber is arranged in the position, on the upper portion of the small oil chamber, in the shell. The oil collection unit comprises multiple vertical baffles and a transverse baffle arranged on the upper portions of the vertical baffles. A cavity structure is defined by the vertical baffles and the transverse baffle. One-way oil inflow components are arranged on the vertical baffles.The oil pump is vertically arranged in the shell and penetrates through the oil collection unit. An oil suction point at the bottom of the oil pump is located in the small oil chamber. Compared with the prior art, the FSAE racing car oil tank has the beneficial effects that oil can be continuously and stably sucked, the fuel oil use rate is high, and a system is small in weight.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of FSAE formula racing cars, and in particular relates to a fuel tank for FSAE racing cars. Background technique [0002] Formula SAE, referred to as FSAE, is an F1 for college students designed, manufactured and participated in by college students. It was launched by the International Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) in 1978. FSAE requires all participating teams to follow the rules of the competition According to the racing car manufacturing standards, design and manufacture a formula-type small single-seater recreational car by itself, and take the car to participate in all or part of the competition. The competition requires the car to have excellent performance in terms of acceleration, braking, and handling, as well as be stable and durable enough. Faster, lighter and more stable has become the common goal of everyone. [0003] The lightweight of FSAE formula car has a crucial impa...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Chinese patent CN104842777A discloses a fuel tank for FSAE racing cars, including a tank body, a filler neck, a tank cover, and an oil pump. The filler neck and the oil pump are all installed on the top of the tank body. There is a one-way valve in the center, an upward step on one side of the bottom of the box, and a partition on the other side of the box near the side of the step. There is a straight slot at the bottom of the partition, and the height of the partition is greater than The height of the step part and the height of the straight notch are smaller than the height of the step part. This invention reduces the weight of the car and ensures the fuel supply of the car when it has lateral acceleration, but the baffle does not have a one-way characteristic, which will hinder the fuel from sucking. Points converge, and there is a large difference in oil absorption capacity under positive and negative lateral accelerations, and insufficient fuel sloshing suppression ability under longitudinal accelerations, etc.
