Abstract

Storage tank for liquids with an inlet nozzle and a device for measuring the quantity of liquid which is firmly connected to the tank and permits monitoring of the quantity introduced, for example a fuel tank for trucks. To prevent dishonest interference with the quantity- measuring device, the inlet nozzle (3) has a sealing sleeve, in particular an inflatable annular hose (12), for the leakproof connection of a filling tube (13) and the quantity-measuring device is equipped with a gas ... preventer. The flow resistance of the quantity-measuring device is relatively high or can be increased as desired by means of an upstream spring-loaded shut-off valve (8, 9). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Vorratstank für Flüssigkeiten mit einem Einlaufstutzen und einer Flüssigkeits-Mengenmeßvorrichtung, die mit dem Tank fest verbunden und plombiert ist und eine Überwachung der durch den Einlaufstutzen eingebrachten Füllmenge gestattet.The invention relates to a storage tank for liquids with an inlet nozzle and a liquid quantity measuring device which is firmly connected to the tank and sealed and allows monitoring of the filling quantity introduced through the inlet nozzle.

Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 14 80 046 ist ein Kraftstofftank für Fahrzeuge bekannt, bei dem eine mit dem Tank fest verbundene Fülleitung als Meßstrecke ausgebildet ist, um Täuschungen über die tatsächlich getankten Mengen zu unterbinden. Zwar werden an den Tankstellen die abgegebenen Mengen gemessen. Fälschungen der darüber ausgestellten Belege können jedoch nur nachgewiesen werden, wenn auch die aufgenommene Menge gemessen wird.A fuel tank for vehicles is known from German Offenlegungsschrift 14 80 046, in which a filling line which is firmly connected to the tank is designed as a measuring section in order to prevent deceptions about the amounts actually filled up. The quantities delivered are measured at the petrol stations. However, counterfeiting of the documents issued above can only be proven if the quantity taken in is also measured.

Bei dem bekannten Kraftstofftank enthält die Meßstrecke unter anderem einen Gasabscheider, der es möglich machen soll, die Füllflüssigkeit wie üblich mit natürlichem Gefälle in freiem Strahl in einen verhältnismäßig weiten Stutzen einlaufen zu lassen. Ohne einen solchen Gasabscheider würden nämlich die gasigen Bestandteile des sich natürlicherweise bildenden Flüssigkeits-Gas-Luft-Gemisches die Flüssigkeitsmengenmessung verfälschen. Solche Gasabscheider sind aber verhältnismäßig voluminös, teuer und vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit von außen beeinflußbar. Zum anderen kann die Meßvorrichtung dieses bekannten Kraftstofftanks dadurch überlistet werden, daß man Luft unter Druck in den Einfüllstutzen einbläst oder einpumpt. Diese setzt das Meßwerk in Bewegung und täuscht die Aufnahme von Kraftstoff vor. Die Luft würde anschließend durch die Entlüftungsleitung wieder entweichen können.In the known fuel tank, the measuring section contains, among other things, a gas separator, which is intended to make it possible, as usual, to let the fill liquid run into a relatively wide nozzle in a free jet with a natural gradient. Without such a gas separator, the gaseous constituents of the naturally forming liquid-gas-air mixture would falsify the measurement of the amount of liquid. Such gas separators are relatively voluminous, expensive and, above all, can be influenced from the outside in terms of their effectiveness. On the other hand, the measuring device of this known fuel tank can be outwitted by blowing or pumping air under pressure into the filler neck. This sets the measuring mechanism in motion and simulates the absorption of fuel. The air would then be able to escape again through the ventilation line.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Vorratstank für Flüssigkeiten mit einer Einfüllkontrollvorrichtung vorzuschlagen, die einfacher ausgebildet, ebenfalls einfach zu handhaben und sowohl unbeeinflußbar als auch unüberlistbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a storage tank for liquids with a fill-in control device which is simpler in design, likewise easy to handle and is both uninfluenceable and unsurmountable.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Vorratstank der einleitend näher bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß an dem Einlaufstutzen eine vorzugsweise zusammenspannbare Abdichtmanschette zum dichten Anschluß eines Füllrohres vorgesehen und daß die MengenmeBvorrichtung mit einem Gasmeßverhüter ausgestattet ist. Der dichte Anschluß des Füllrohres, also beispielsweise der bei Tankstellen üblicherweise vorhandenen Zapfpistole, läßt einen Luftzutritt und eine Gasbildung vor dem Durchlauf durch die dem Tank zugeordnete Meßvorrichtung gar nicht erst zu, so daß ein Gasabscheider entbehrlich wird. Eine Verfälschung des Meßergebnisses durch absichtliche Luftzuführung, etwa dadurch, daß die Abdichtmanschette absichtlich nicht dicht angelegt wird, kann einfach dadurch verhindert werden, daß eine Mengenmeßvorrichtung.mit einem erhöhten Durchlaufwiderstand gewählt wird, so daß die einzufüllende Flüssigkeit an der Abdichtmanschette austritt, wenn diese nicht dicht geschlossen ist. Eine echte Falschmessung durch Einpumpen reiner Luft wird dagegen durch die Anordnung eines an sich bekannten Gasmeßverhüters vor oder in dem Meßwerk unterbunden. Dieser spricht auf das spezifische Gewicht des Durchlaufmediums an und sperrt das Meßwerk bei Gas.This object is achieved on the basis of a storage tank of the type specified in the introduction in accordance with the invention in that a preferably collapsible sealing sleeve is provided on the inlet connection for the tight connection of a filling pipe and in that the quantity measuring device is equipped with a gas measuring contraceptive. The tight connection of the filling pipe, for example the fuel nozzle usually available at petrol stations, does not allow air to enter and gas to form before it passes through the measuring device assigned to the tank, so that a gas separator is not required. A falsification of the measurement result by deliberate air supply, for example in that the sealing sleeve is intentionally not applied tightly, can be prevented simply by choosing a quantity measuring device with an increased flow resistance, so that the liquid to be filled escapes from the sealing sleeve when it is not is tightly closed. A real false measurement by pumping in pure air, on the other hand, is achieved by arranging one in itself Known Gasmeßverhüters prevented before or in the measuring mechanism. This responds to the specific weight of the flow medium and blocks the measuring mechanism with gas.

Durchlaufmengenzähler für Flüssigkeiten mit erhöhtem Durchlaufwiderstand geben technisch keine Probleme auf. Sie sind vielmehr genauer und billiger, da die konstruktiven Bestrebungen im Meßgerätebau gewöhnlich dahin gehen, den Durchlaufwiderstand bei Aufrechterhaltung der Meßgenauigkeit zu verringern. Es eignen sich also grundsätzlich Flügelradzähler, Ovalradzähler, Ringkolbenzähler und dgl. ,Flow meters for liquids with increased flow resistance pose no technical problems. Rather, they are more accurate and cheaper, since the constructive efforts in measuring instrument construction usually aim to reduce the flow resistance while maintaining the measuring accuracy. Basically, vane wheel meters, oval wheel meters, ring piston meters and the like are suitable.

Sofern der Strömungswiderstand des Meßwerks selbst für den erwähnten Zweck zu gering oder nicht genau genug definiert ist, wird weiter vorgeschlagen, in dem Einlaufstutzen oder in der nachgeschalteten Fülleitung ein von außen nicht zugängliches federbelastetes Sperrventil anzuordnen, das einer unter Druck einströmenden Flüssigkeit öffnend nachgibt. Hier käme beispielsweise eine federbelastete Klappe in Betracht, wobei der öffnungsdruck mit Hilfe einer Justiervorrichtung einstellbar sein könnte. Bei Kraftstofftanks, die aus den üblichen Zapfsäulen an Tankstellen gefüllt werden, könnte der öffnungsdruck so hoch eingestellt werden, daß er von den üblichen Förderpumpen gerade noch überwunden wird.If the flow resistance of the measuring mechanism itself is too low or not precisely defined for the purpose mentioned, it is further proposed to arrange a spring-loaded shut-off valve, which is not accessible from the outside, in the inlet connection or in the downstream filling line, which gives way to a liquid flowing in under pressure. Here, for example, a spring-loaded flap could be considered, the opening pressure being adjustable with the aid of an adjusting device. In the case of fuel tanks which are filled from the usual petrol pumps at petrol stations, the opening pressure could be set so high that it is just about overcome by the usual feed pumps.

Die Abdichtmanschette kann mit einer zangenartigen Klemmvorrichtung angelegt werden. In Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß sie aus einem aufblasbaren und dadurch seinen Innendurchmesser verringernden Ringschlauch besteht. Zum Aufblasen desselben könnte an dem Tank eine kleine Luftpumpe angeordnet sein. Da die Füllenden, d.h. die Füllrohre von Zapfpistolen an Tankstellen üblicherweise an ihrer Außenfläche profiliert, d.h. mit Längsrinnen oder -rillen versehen oder verbeult sind, empfiehlt es sich, die Abdichtmanschette innen mit einem weichen Polster oder einer anschmiegfähigen Dichtlippe auszustatten.The sealing sleeve can be applied with a pliers-like clamping device. In development of the invention it is proposed that it consists of an inflatable ring tube and thereby reducing its inner diameter. A small air pump could be arranged on the tank to inflate the same. Since the filling ends, ie the filling pipes of fuel nozzles at petrol stations are usually profiled on their outer surface, ie they are provided or dented with longitudinal grooves or grooves, it is advisable to equip the inside of the sealing sleeve with a soft cushion or a sealing lip that can be fitted on.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht es somit, den an Zapfsäulen zur Verfügung gestellten gasfreien Flüssigkeitsstrom ohne Luftzutritt einer zweiten Volumenmessung zuzuführen und somit die einzufüllende Menge unter Verwendung einer relativ einfachen Meßvorrichtung mit ausreichender Genauigkeit zu messen. Dabei wird die Tatsache, daß die Flüssigkeit an Tankstellen mit einem gewissen Fülldruck zur Verfügung gestellt wird, dazu ausgenutzt, die mit der Tankfüllung befaßten Personen zum dichten Anschluß der Fülleitung zu zwingen. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf Kraftstofftanks beschränkt. Sie läßt sich vielmehr bei allen anderen Flüssigkeitstanks einsetzen, wenn ein Bedürfnis besteht, die Einfüllmenge zu kontrollieren, sei es, um absichtliche Täuschungsversuche auszuschließen oder nur die abgabeseitigen Meßgeräte zu kontrollieren.The invention thus makes it possible to supply the gas-free liquid flow made available at petrol pumps to a second volume measurement without air admission and thus to measure the quantity to be filled in with sufficient accuracy using a relatively simple measuring device. The fact that the liquid is made available at filling stations with a certain filling pressure is used to force the people involved in filling the tank to have a tight connection of the filling line. However, the invention is not limited to fuel tanks. Rather, it can be used with all other liquid tanks if there is a need to control the filling quantity, be it to rule out deliberate attempts at deception or only to check the measuring devices on the delivery side.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer schematischen Schnittzeichnung eines Kraftstofftanks näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a schematic sectional drawing of a fuel tank.

Der nur teilweise dargestellte Tank hat eine Wand 1 und eine Decke 2. An einen schräg eingesetzten Einlaufstutzen 3 schließt sich ein waagerechter Abschnitt 4 und ein schräger Abschnitt 5 einer Fülleitung an. In den waagerechten Abschnitt ist ein Volumenzähler 6 für die eingefüllte Flüssigkeit eingesetzt. Dieser enthält auch einen an sich bekannten Gasmeßverhüter, der im übrigen auch vorgeschaltet sein könnte. In einem durch die Decke 2 nach oben stehenden Ansatz des Volumenzählers ist eine von außen ablesbare Anzeigevorrichtung 7 enthalten. In Strömungsrichtung vor dem Volumenzähler befindet sich eine Klappe 8, welche von einer Feder 9 beaufschlagt ist und die Fülleitung erst von einem bestimmten Druck ab freigibt. Vor der Klappe befindet sich im Einfüllstutzen 3 ein plombierter Gittereinsatz 10, welcher jeden unbefugten Zugang zu der Klappe 8 oder dem Volumenzähler 6 unmöglich macht. Die verwendeten Plomben sind nicht eigens angedeutet. Selbstverständlich ist auch die nicht gezeigte Verschraubung der Anzeigevorrichtung 7 plombiert. Außerdem könnte die Anzeigevorrichtung durch eine plombierte oder durch ein Schloß sperrbare Klappe gegen Einsichtnahme geschützt sein.The tank, which is only partially shown, has a wall 1 and a ceiling 2. A horizontal section 4 and an inclined section 5 of a filling line are connected to an inclined inlet connection 3. A volume counter 6 for the filled-in liquid is inserted into the horizontal section. This also contains a gas measuring device known per se, which could also be connected upstream. A display device 7, which can be read from the outside, is contained in an approach of the volume counter which stands upwards through the ceiling 2. In the direction of flow in front of the volume meter there is a flap 8, which is acted upon by a spring 9 and only releases the filling line from a certain pressure. In front of the flap there is a sealed grid insert 10 in the filler neck 3, which makes any unauthorized access to the flap 8 or the volume meter 6 impossible. The seals used are not specifically indicated. Of course, the screwing of the display device 7, not shown, is also sealed. In addition, the display device could be protected against inspection by a sealed or lockable flap.

Auf die Öffnung des Einfüllstutzens 3 ist eine Abdichtvorrichtung unverlierbar aufgesetzt. Sie besteht aus einem Ring 11 und einer Abdichtmanschette in Gestalt eines Ringschlauches 12 aus einem elastomeren Werkstoff, der mittels einer nicht dargestellten kleinen Pumpe und entsprechender Ventileinrichtungen aufblasbar ist. Die anschmiegsam gepolsterte Innenfläche des Ringschlauches legt sich dicht um das Auslaufrohr 13 einer Zapfpistole 14. Schließlich ist noch ein Teil der üblichen Entlüftungsleitung 15 angedeutet, die an der Außenseite des Einlaufstutzens 3 hochgeführt sein kann.A seal is provided on the opening of the filler neck 3 direction captive. It consists of a ring 11 and a sealing sleeve in the form of an annular hose 12 made of an elastomeric material which can be inflated by means of a small pump (not shown) and corresponding valve devices. The cuddly, padded inner surface of the ring hose lies tightly around the outlet pipe 13 of a fuel nozzle 14. Finally, part of the usual ventilation line 15 is indicated, which can be raised on the outside of the inlet nozzle 3.

Zum Tanken wird das Auslaufrohr 13 der Zapfpistole 14 in den Einlaufstutzen 3 eingesteckt und durch Aufblasen des Ringschlauches 12 eine dichte Anschlußverbindung geschaffen. Die im Einlaufstutzen 3 und im Auslaufrohr 13 enthaltene Luft wird mit dem öffnen der Zapfpistole 14 durch den Volumenzähler 6 gedrängt, was dieser jedoch infolge des Gasmeßverhüters nicht zählt. Es ergibt sich somit eine sehr genaue und gegen Täuschungsversuche jeder Art geschützte Einlaufmengenkontrolle.For refueling, the outlet pipe 13 of the fuel nozzle 14 is inserted into the inlet connection 3 and a tight connection is created by inflating the ring hose 12. The air contained in the inlet nozzle 3 and in the outlet pipe 13 is forced through the volume meter 6 when the nozzle 14 is opened, but this does not count as a result of the gas meter. This results in a very precise check-in quantity control that is protected against any attempt at deception.
