Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel filler assembly for a vehicle which comprises a housing adopted to connect to the vehicle and having a fuel pipe opening. The fuel filler assembly can be connected to the vehicle body with aid of the housing. The fuel pipe opening is provided in the fuel filler assembly to accommodate the fuel pipe through which fuel can be filled to a fuel tank of the vehicle. The fuel filler assembly comprises a hinge arm attached to the housing which is capable of closing and opening the fuel filler assembly. The hinge arm acts as a component to close or to open the fuel filler assembly. When the fuel tank is required to be filled, the hinge arm is opened such that fuel can be filled to the fuel tank. The fuel filler assembly comprises a plunger attached to the housing which is capable of locking the hinge arm with the housing or unlocking the hinge arm from the housing. A flap is attached to the hinge arm. This acts like a lid to the fuel filler assembly such this flushes with the body of the vehicle. A seal is moulded on the housing around its periphery wherein the seal provides air tight budding with the vehicle panel and the housing.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种用于车辆的燃料加注器组件，其包括用于连接到车辆并具有燃料管开口的壳体。 燃料加注器组件可以借助于壳体连接到车体。 燃料管道开口设置在燃料填充器组件中，以容纳可以将燃料填充到燃料箱的燃料管道。 燃料加注器组件包括附接到壳体的铰链臂，其能够关闭和打开燃料填充器组件。 铰链臂用作关闭或打开燃料填充器组件的部件。 当需要填充燃料箱时，铰链臂被打开，使得燃料可以被填充到燃料箱中。 燃料加注器组件包括附接到壳体的柱塞，其能够利用壳体锁定铰链臂或将铰链臂从壳体解锁。 翼片连接到铰链臂。 这就像燃料填充器组件的盖子一样，这样一来，车辆的车身会冲刷。 密封件围绕其周边模制在壳体上，其中密封件与车辆面板和壳体提供气密发芽。
