Abstract

A fluid filling device is provided, including: a covering unit, a quick-connecting unit and a base. The covering unit is configured to cover an opening portion. The covering unit includes a first flow channel, and the first flow channel is configured to be communicated with an interior of the opening portion. The quick-connecting unit is disposed on the covering unit and communicated with the first flow channel. The base includes at least one joint, a second flow channel and a connection portion. The at least one joint is configured to be assembled with at least one pipe. The second flow channel is communicated respectively with the at least one joint and the connection portion. The connection portion is detachably and communicatedly connected with the quick-connecting unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid filling device, including:
a covering unit, configured to cover an opening portion, including a first flow channel, the first flow channel configured to be communicated with an interior of the opening portion;
a quick-connecting member, being tubular, disposed on the covering unit and communicated with the first flow channel; and
a base, including at least one joint, a second flow channel and a connection portion, the at least one joint configured to be assembled with at least one pipe, the second flow channel being communicated respectively with the at least one joint and the connection portion, the connection portion detachably and communicatedly connected with the quick-connecting member;
wherein the covering unit further includes a lid body, a plug body and an elastic member, the plug body includes a plug head and an axial rod connected with each other, the first flow channel extends through the axial rod and the plug head, and the elastic member is sleeved to the axial rod and abutted against and between the plug head and the lid body so that the plug head has a tendency to move in a direction away from the lid body.

2. The fluid filling device of claim 1 , wherein the quick-connecting member is detachably disposed on the covering unit.

3. The fluid filling device of claim 1 , wherein the lid body includes at least one engaging portion, and the at least one engaging portion is configured to be engaged with an outer wall of the opening portion.

4. The fluid filling device of claim 3 , wherein the lid body includes a first member and a second member, the first member is detachably sleeved with the second member, the elastic member is elastically abutted against and between the plug head and the second member, and the second member has the at least one engaging portion disposed thereon.

5. The fluid filling device of claim 4 , wherein the lid body further includes an anti-rotation structure, the anti-rotation structure includes at least one projection and at least one through hole, one of the at least one projection and the at least one through hole is disposed on the first member, the other of the at least one projection and the at least one through hole is disposed on the second member, when the first member is sleeved with the second member, the at least one projection penetrates into the at least one through hole and is blocked with at least one hole wall of the at least one through hole in a circumferential direction of the first member, and the first member is co-rotatable with the second member.

6. The fluid filling device of claim 1 , further including a switch mechanism, wherein the switch mechanism includes an abutting portion, a rotation member and a stepped structure, the abutting portion is protrudingly positioned on the axial rod, the stepped structure is disposed on the lid body, the stepped structure includes at least one higher portion and at least one lower portion lower than the at least one higher portion in an axial direction of the axial rod, the at least one higher portion is located farther from the lid body than the at least one lower portion, the rotation member has a penetrating hole disposed therethrough, the axial rod is axially and movably disposed through the penetrating hole, the rotation member is located between the stepped structure and the abutting portion, the elastic member urges the abutting portion to be abutted against the rotation member, at least one urged portion of the rotation member is abutted against the stepped structure; when the rotation member is rotated relative to the axial rod and the at least one urged portion is moved toward the at least one higher portion, the plug head is moved in a direction toward the lid body, and the elastic member is compressed; when the rotation member is rotated relative to the axial rod and the at least one urged portion is moved toward the at least one lower portion, the plug body is moved in a direction remote from the lid body, and the elastic member is stretched.

7. The fluid filling device of claim 6 , wherein the abutting portion is disposed on the quick-connecting member.

8. The fluid filling device of claim 1 , wherein the quick-connecting member is screwed with the covering unit, and the quick-connecting member is detachably and insertedly connected with the connection portion.

9. The fluid filling device of claim 7 , wherein the quick-connecting member is detachably disposed on the covering unit, the lid body includes at least one engaging portion, and the at least one engaging portion is configured to be engaged with an outer wall of the opening portion; the lid body includes a first member and a second member, the first member is detachably sleeved with the second member, the elastic member is elastically abutted against and between the plug head and the second member, the second member has the at least one engaging portion disposed thereon; the lid body further includes an anti-rotation structure, the anti-rotation structure includes at least one projection and at least one through hole, one of the at least one projection and the at least one through hole is disposed on the first member, and the other of the at least one projection and the at least one through hole is disposed on the second member; when the first member is sleeved with the second member, the at least one projection penetrates into the at least one through hole and is blocked with at least one hole wall of the at least one through hole in a circumferential direction of the first member, and the first member is co-rotatable with the second member; the quick-connecting member is screwed with the covering unit, and the quick-connecting member is detachably and insertedly connected with the connection portion; a plurality of sealing members are sleeved to an outer periphery wall of the quick-connecting member, and the plurality of sealing members are abutted against and between the outer periphery wall of the quick-connecting member and an inner periphery wall of the connection portion when the quick-connecting member is insertedly connected with the connection portion; a pressure gauge is disposed on the base; the abutting portion is disposed on an end of the quick-connecting member; when the base is connected with the quick-connecting member, the abutting portion is abutted against and between the connection portion and the rotation member in the axial direction of the axial rod; a thickness of the first member is larger than a thickness of the second member; a number of the at least one urged portion is two, a number of the at least one higher portion is two, and a number of the at least one lower portion is two; the stepped structure further includes two protruding blocks, the two protruding blocks are spacingly arranged on the lid body around the penetrating hole, the two protruding blocks and the lid body define two receiving portions, one end of each of the two protruding blocks in a circumferential direction of the penetrating hole has an inclined guide surface, and another end of each of the two protruding blocks in the circumferential direction has a blocking surface; and a top surface of each of the two protruding blocks in the axial direction of the axial rod is defined as one said higher portion, a bottom surface of each of the two receiving portions is defined as one said lower portion.
