Abstract: A misfuelling prevention apparatus for vehicles can prevent a diesel vehicle from being filled with a wrong fuel. The apparatus for vehicles may include an upper housing at an entrance of a filler neck, an internal housing located at a bottom of the upper housing while being supported by an interior of the filler neck, a stopper and a stopper spring, and a flapper and a flapper spring. The stopper may be at one side of the internal housing to be rotated around a pin by a contact with an oil gun. One end of the flapper may be rotatably installed in a pin structure at an opposite side of the internal housing with respect to the stopper and the other end of the flapper may be caught in a recess of the stopper. The flapper is to be pushed and selectively opened by the oil gun.

Abstract: An anti-misfueling filler neck device includes sliding projections mounted at the bottom of a housing to move laterally to allow a flapper to be opened only when a fuel gun for a diesel vehicle is inserted, thus preventing gasoline from being injected into the diesel vehicle.

Abstract: A device prevents fuel mixing, for example, a different kind of fuel from being pumped into a gasoline vehicle or a diesel vehicle by mistake. The device can prevent unsuitable fuel from being pumped into a vehicle and can preclude a loss of fuel or a fire due to poor operation of a gas pump by a person who fuels the vehicle, by implementing a new type of mechanism for preventing fuel mixing which includes a lock that is disposed at the fuel-tank door of a vehicle and turned on/off in accordance with the inner diameter of a nozzle and a cap that can close the nozzle when a nozzle for an unsuitable kind of fuel is inserted.

Abstract: A filler neck apparatus may include a housing into which a fuel filling gun is selectively inserted, a rotation protrusion pivotally mounted on a side of the housing and elastically biased in a direction, wherein the rotation protrusion contacts with the fuel filling gun while the fuel filling gun is inserted into the housing, a slider slidably installed in the housing and elastically biased in a direction wherein the slider is selectively coupled to the rotation protrusion, and wherein a locked state of the slider is released by the rotation protrusion and is movable in a direction when the slider is released from the rotation protrusion, a flapper pivotally mounted on the housing and opening or closing the bottom end of the housing by the fuel filling gun, a stopper pivotally mounted on the housing and selectively locking the flapper, and a link pivotally connecting the slider and the stopper.

Abstract: A brushless direct current (BLDC) motor includes a magnet which includes N poles and S poles extending in the up-down direction. The N poles and S poles are arranged to alternate with each other, surround an exterior of a shaft, and have a cylindrical shape when assembled. The magnet has upper and lower tapered portions in upper and lower portions thereof, with the diameter decreasing in the direction toward opposite ends, and a fixing center groove formed in the middle thereof. Fixing caps respectively have inclined portions at positions corresponding to the upper and lower tapered portions of the magnet so that the tapered portions fit into the inclined portions, thereby fixing an axial position of the magnet. A center ring is fitted into the center groove of the magnet in order to prevent the magnet from being dislodged while a rotor is rotating.
