Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schienenfahrzeug mit Dieselantrieb, insbesondere Triebwagen zur Personenbeförderung, mit einer Einrichtung für das Druckbetanken des Kraftstoffbehälters, wobei diese Einrichtung eine am Einfüllstutzen des Kraftstoffbehälters angeordnete Trockenkupplung für das Anschließen eines Betankungsschlauches, ein Ventil für das Beund Entlüften des Kraftstoffbehälters und einen Grenzwertgeber aufweist, über den bei Erreichen eines definierten Füllstandes eine im Bereich der Tankstelle befindliche Förderpumpe abgeschaltet wird.The invention relates to a rail vehicle with a diesel drive, especially railcars for passenger transportation, with a device for pressure filling the fuel tank, this device one at the filler neck of the Fuel connector arranged dry connector for connection a refueling hose, a valve for the patient Bleed the fuel tank and a limit indicator over which when a defined level is reached a feed pump located in the area of the petrol station is switched off.

Es ist allgemein üblich, einen Kraftstoffbehälter mittels einer manuell bedienbaren Zapfpistole zu befüllen, die in den Einfüllstutzen hineinragt. Die durch einfließenden Kraftstoff verdrängte Luft kann durch den Freiraum entweichen, der zwischen der Zapfpistole und dem Einfüllstutzen besteht. Durch den im Normalfall intakten Grenzwertgeber wird die Förderpumpe abgeschaltet, sobald der Kraftstoff das dem Regelfüllstand entsprechende Niveau erreicht. Bei einem Versagen des Grenzwertgebers kann Kraftstoff aus dem Einfüllstutzen austreten und die Umwelt verunreinigen.It is common practice to use a fuel tank a manually operated fuel nozzle to fill the Filler neck protrudes. The inflowing fuel displaced air can escape through the free space exists between the nozzle and the filler neck. The feed pump is activated by the normally intact limit transmitter switched off as soon as the fuel reaches the standard level appropriate level reached. In the event of a failure the limit switch can fuel from the filler neck leak and pollute the environment.

Für ein beschleunigtes und leckagefreies Einfüllen des Kraftstoffs in den Behälter gehört das Druckbetanken zum Stand der Technik, bei dem eine Trockenkupplung eingesetzt wird, die über einen Bajonettverschluss die Verbindung zwischen dem Schlauch der Tankstelle und dem Einfüllstutzen des Kraftstoffbehälters herstellt. Zum Kuppeln wird das in der Regel schlauchseitige Mutterteil der Trockenkupplung auf das fahrzeugseitige Vaterteil aufgesetzt und im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, bis die beiden Teile mechanisch fest verbunden sind. For an accelerated and leak-free filling of the fuel pressure refueling in the container belongs to the state of the Technology in which a dry clutch is used, the the connection between the Hose of the petrol station and the filler neck of the fuel tank manufactures. It usually becomes for coupling hose-side nut part of the dry coupling on the vehicle side Father part put on and clockwise rotated until the two parts are mechanically firmly connected.

Durch weiteres Drehen des Mutterteils wird das Öffnen einer Ventilanordnung innerhalb der Trockenkupplung bewirkt, so dass der Durchfluss freigegeben ist. Bei einer Drehung im Gegenuhrzeigersinn wird der Durchfluss wieder gesperrt und die beiden Teile der Trockenkupplung können getrennt werden. Um bei dem Druckbetanken die Luft aus dem Kraftstoffbehälter abzuführen, ist ein Ventil vorgesehen, das auch dem Belüften des Behälters dient. Solche selbsttätig arbeitenden Be- und Entlüftungsventile sind bekannt, beispielsweise aus Prospektunterlagen der Firma Siebeck-Bitter GmbH, DE-40878 Ratingen (siehe im Internet http://www.siebeck-bitter.de → Branchenlösungen → Straßen- und Schienenfahrzeuge → Be- und Entlüftungsventil Typ B 40.20 BE). Falls der Grenzwertgeber versagt, wird der Kraftstoffbehälter über den Regelfüllstand hinaus gefüllt bis keine Luft mehr im Kraftstoffbehälter enthalten ist. Weil das Be- und Entlüftungsventil zwar Luft abführen kann, jedoch nur einen kleineren Teil der beim Druckbetanken einfließenden Menge an Kraftstoff, besteht die Gefahr, dass sich im Kraftstoffbehälter ein unzulässig hoher Druck aufbaut, der letztlich zu einer Zerstörung des Behälters führen kann. In das Be- und Entlüftungsventil ist im übrigen eine Kippsicherung integriert, die bei einem Unfall ein Austreten von Kraftstoff aus dem Behälter des möglicherweise umgestürzten Fahrzeuges verhindert.Turning the nut part further will open one Valve arrangement within the dry clutch causes, so that the flow is released. When turning in The flow is blocked again counterclockwise and the two parts of the dry clutch can be separated. To get the air out of the fuel tank during pressure filling dissipate, a valve is provided that also venting of the container. Such automatically working loading and Vent valves are known, for example from brochures from Siebeck-Bitter GmbH, DE-40878 Ratingen (see on the Internet http://www.siebeck-bitter.de → Industry Solutions → Road and rail vehicles → Ventilation valve Type B 40.20 BE). If the limit transmitter fails, the fuel tank is above the standard level filled up to no more air in the fuel tank is included. Because the ventilation valve is air can dissipate, but only a smaller part of the The amount of fuel flowing into the pressurized tank is the Danger of an impermissibly high level in the fuel tank Pressure builds up, which ultimately leads to destruction of the container can lead. In the ventilation valve is in remaining integrated an anti-tip, which in the event of an accident a leak of fuel from the tank of the possibly overturned vehicle prevented.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Schienenfahrzeug mit den gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen den Vorgang des Druckbetankens derart abzusichern, dass bei einem Versagen des Grenzwertgebers kein Kraftstoff aus dem Kraftstoffbehälter austreten kann und der Kraftstoffbehälter vor unzulässig hohem Druck wirksam geschützt ist.The invention has for its object in a rail vehicle with the generic characteristics the process of Secure pressure refueling in such a way that in the event of a failure the limit transmitter has no fuel from the fuel tank can leak and the fuel tank before impermissible high pressure is effectively protected.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass dem Kraftstoffbehälter im Bereich seiner Einfüllöffnung ein Überfüllsicherungsventil mit einer Schwimmereinheit zugeordnet ist, wobei die Schwimmereinheit bei Erreichen des definierten Füllstandes einen Mechanismus auslöst, der durch den sich im Betankungsschlauch über den normalen Einfülldruck des Kraftstoffes hinaus aufbauenden Druck die Einfüllöffnung verschließt und dadurch ein weiteres Befüllen des Kraftstoffbehälters verhindert.This object is achieved in that the Fuel tank in the area of its fill opening an overfill protection valve associated with a float unit is, the float unit when reaching the defined Level triggers a mechanism by which in the Refueling hose above the normal filling pressure of the fuel pressure builds up the filler opening and thereby a further filling of the fuel tank prevented.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims specified.

Im weiteren wird die Erfindung anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben, die in der Zeichnung jeweils prinzipartig dargestellt sind.Furthermore, the invention is based on two exemplary embodiments described in more detail, each in the drawing are shown in principle.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Kraftstoffbehälter 1 mit einem an seiner Oberseite angebrachten Einfüllstutzen 2, der ein Vaterteil einer Trockenkupplung 3 für das Anschließen eines Betankungsschlauches aufweist. Der Kraftstoffbehälter 1 hat ein Be- und Entlüftungsventil 4 sowie einen Grenzwertgeber 5. Über den Grenzwertgeber 5 wird im Normalfall bei Erreichen eines definierten Füllstandes eine im Bereich der Tankstelle befindliche Förderpumpe abgeschaltet. Im Bereich der Einfüllöffnung ragt ein Überfüllsicherungsventil 6 in den Kraftstoffbehälter 1 hinein, das durch eine ebenfalls im Kraftstoffbehälter angeordnete Schwimmereinheit 7 gesteuert wird. Die Schwimmereinheit 7 löst einen Mechanismus aus, der durch den sich im Betankungsschlauch über den normalen Einfülldruck des Kraftstoffes hinaus aufbauenden Druck die Einfüllöffnung verschließt und dadurch ein weiteres Befüllen des Kraftstoffbehälters 1 verhindert. Im Kraftstoffbehälter 1 kann also kein Druckanstieg entstehen. Andererseits kann durch die verschlossene Einfüllöffnung kein Kraftstoff austreten und in die Umwelt gelangen.Fig. 1 shows a fuel tank 1 with one on it Top of the filler neck 2, which is a male part a dry coupling 3 for connecting a refueling hose having. The fuel tank 1 has a loading and Breather valve 4 and a limit indicator 5. About the Limit transmitter 5 is normally defined when a defined one is reached Level in the area of the petrol station Delivery pump switched off. In the area of the filling opening an overfill protection valve 6 projects into the fuel tank 1 into it, which is also arranged in the fuel tank Float unit 7 is controlled. The float unit 7 triggers a mechanism by which the Refueling hose above the normal filling pressure of the fuel pressure builds up the filler opening and thereby a further filling of the fuel tank 1 prevented. So in the fuel tank 1 none Pressure increase. On the other hand, the closed No fuel leak and in get into the environment.

Unterschiedlich zu der Anordnung nach Fig. 1 ist in Fig. 2 ein Kraftstoffbehälter 1 dargestellt, bei dem das Überfüllsicherungsventil 6 und die Schwimmereinheit 7 vollständig innerhalb des Einfüllstutzens 2 des Kraftstoffbehälters 1 untergebracht sind. Different from the arrangement according to FIG. 1 is in FIG. 2 a fuel tank 1 shown, in which the overfill prevention valve 6 and the float unit 7 completely inside the filler neck 2 of the fuel tank 1 are accommodated.

Eine Gestaltungsmöglichkeit für das Überfüllsicherungsventil 6 besteht darin, in einem Gehäuse einen konischen Kolben anzuordnen, der durch eine Druckfeder beaufschlagt wird und seitliche Öffnungen des Gehäuses verschließt. Bei dem Betanken wird der Kolben durch den Druck des strömenden Kraftstoffs gegen die Kraft der Feder verlagert und gibt dann die seitlichen Öffnungen des Gehäuses für den Kraftstoff frei. Ein geringer Teil des Kraftstoffs fließt durch eine kleinere zentrale Bohrung des Kolbens und weiter durch eine rohrförmig ausgebildete Schwimmerstange der Schwimmereinheit 7 in den Kraftstoffbehälter 1. Wenn der Kraftstoffpegel im Behälter 1 einen Schwimmerkörper der Schwimmereinheit 7 erreicht, so schwimmt dieser auf und nimmt die Schwimmerstange mit. Die Schwimmerstange verschließt dann eine in einem Gehäuseverschluss enthaltene horizontale Bohrung. Dann kann der geringe Teil des Kraftstoffs, der sonst durch die zentrale Bohrung des Kolbens strömt, nicht mehr abfließen. Unter dem Kolben baut sich ein Druck auf. Unterstützt durch die Feder sowie durch das Flächenverhältnis Oberseite/Unterseite des Kolbens wird der Kolben vom Kraftstoffdruck angehoben und verschließt die seitlichen Öffnungen des Gehäuses, so dass ein weiteres Befüllen des Kraftstoffbehälters 1 unmöglich ist.A design option for the overfill prevention valve 6 consists in a housing a conical piston to be arranged, which is acted upon by a compression spring and closes lateral openings of the housing. When refueling the piston is driven by the pressure of the flowing fuel shifted against the force of the spring and then gives the side openings of the housing for the fuel free. A small part of the fuel flows through a smaller one central bore of the piston and further through a tubular trained float rod of the float unit 7 in the Fuel tank 1. If the fuel level in tank 1 reached a float body of the float unit 7, so this floats up and takes the float rod with it. The The float rod then closes one in a housing lock included horizontal hole. Then the little one Part of the fuel that would otherwise pass through the central bore of the piston flows, no longer flow away. Under the piston pressure builds up. Supported by the spring as well by the area ratio top / bottom of the piston the piston is raised by the fuel pressure and closes the side openings of the case so that another Filling the fuel tank 1 is impossible.
