  • Patent number: 10100693
    Abstract: A urea solution pump unit includes a bracket mounted to a lower side of a urea solution tank. A pump unit is horizontally disposed at a center of an upper part of the bracket and includes a pump suctioning a urea solution to one direction and a motor pumping the urea solution to another direction through a gap between a rotor and a stator of the motor inside the pump and discharging the urea solution to a lower side of the bracket. A pair of thawing units are fixedly disposed at both sides of the pump unit on the bracket. The thawing units transfer heat to the urea solution and prevent the urea solution from being frozen. A sensor unit is disposed at one side of one of the thawing units and detects a level, a temperature, and a pressure of the urea solution.

  • Patent number: 9644518
    Abstract: A urea filler neck for preventing a urea overflow includes a filler housing forming a urea path in which urea flows to a urea tank. An injection gun guide is provided in the filler housing. An end of an injection gun is fixed by the injection gun guide to limit an insertion position of the injection gun inserted into an inlet of the filler housing. An injection gun guide flooding phenomenon is generated, in which urea flowing backward from the urea tank rises to block an air flow in the filler housing being generated in the injection gun guide. A filler housing pressure increasing phenomenon is generated, in which a pressure in the filler housing is increased due to blocking of the air flow by the injection gun guide flooding phenomenon being generated in the injection gun guide.

  • Patent number: 9528478
    Abstract: A fuel feeding system for a vehicle may include a fuel tank and a subsidiary jet pump. The fuel tank is divided into a first portion in which a reservoir is installed and a second portion in which the subsidiary jet pump is installed. The subsidiary jet pump pumps out fuel pressurized by a fuel pump and causes the fuel in the second portion of the fuel tank to enter the reservoir using a pressure difference generated during pumping of the fuel. The subsidiary jet pump includes a nozzle unit and a diffuser unit. The diffuser unit surrounds an injection portion of the nozzle unit with a suction channel disposed therebetween. The suction channel has a suction hole and a discharge hole and is structured to cause fuel suctioned through the suction hole and fuel discharged through the discharge hole to flow in the same direction.
