Abstract
The present application provides a filling device for refilling a liquid storage tank in a vehicle. The filling device includes a support seat, a filling tank, and a connecting device. The support seat is arranged in a vehicle body and defines a containment space. The filling tank is movably connected to the support seat and is movable relative to the support seat between a filling position and a closed position. The filling tank includes a filling space, and a filling port and a liquid outlet that communicate with the filling space. The filling port is hidden in the vehicle body when the filling tank is in the closed position, and when the filling tank is in the filling position, the filling port is accessible from outside the vehicle body, enabling refilling of liquid from the filling port. The connecting device connects the filling tank to the support seat so that the filling tank can be moved in a translational manner relative to the support seat. The connecting device includes a connecting channel that communicates the liquid outlet of the filling tank with the liquid storage tank in the vehicle body.
