Definitions
- Tank for a motor vehicle and flange for such a tank for a motor vehicle and flange for such a tank
- the present invention relates to a tank for a motor vehicle and a flange for connecting a fuel return line to a tank of a motor vehicle.
- a tank for a motor vehicle in which excess fuel is returned from an engine via a return line.
- the return line ends in the tank at a jet pump, which is arranged near the bottom of the tank and is used to convey fuel from a main part of the tank in a storage container arranged in the tank, from which it flows through a Feed unit is withdrawn and fed back to the engine.
- a jet pump For the jet pump to operate properly, it is necessary to regulate the pressure of the propellant.
- a branch coming from the jet pump is used, against the end of which flows into the storage container, a spring-loaded ball presses. When the pressure in the branch exceeds a predetermined value, the ball is lifted from its seat at the end of the branch and fuel flows through the branch into the storage container.
- Attaching the pressure relief valve to the flange makes it easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
- the overall height of a tank can be kept low.
- the check valve is easily accessible via the outlet opening and can be easily replaced if necessary.
- Fig. 1 greatly simplified a tank of a motor vehicle with a
- Flange according to the invention shows a section through a flange according to the invention; and Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the flange and its components.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified illustration of a tank 10 of a motor vehicle and a motor 12 connected to it.
- a storage container 14 is arranged in the tank 10, from which a fuel delivery unit 16 sucks, which is arranged in the storage container 14.
- a pressure line 20, which leads to the engine 12, is connected to a pressure connection 18 of the fuel delivery unit 16.
- a return line 22 from the engine 12 also leads through a flange 26 in the wall of the tank 10, through which excess fuel not used by the engine 12 flows back into the tank 10.
- the fuel delivery unit 16 delivers fuel from the storage container 14 to the engine 12, and the fuel flowing back through the return line 22 drives the jet pump 24.
- Fig. 2 shows a section through the flange 26. It comprises a flat disc 28 with an underside of the disc facing the tank - 4 -
- a fuel passage includes an outer port 32 which is provided to attach the return line 22 thereon, one parallel to the
- the section 36 is arranged on a protuberance 34 on the side of the disk 28 facing the tank and comprises two coaxial cylindrical chambers 38 and 44.
- the height of the protuberance 34 is dimensioned such that during the manufacture of the flange, e.g. by injection molding of plastic, a molding tool can be guided in the direction of the axis of the section 36 in order to form it without being hindered by the web-shaped edge 30.
- the outer connector 32 is connected to the first chamber 38, the inner connector 46 to the second chamber 44.
- the diameter of the second chamber 44 is slightly smaller than that of the first; the chambers merge with one another on an annular shoulder 42.
- the first chamber 38 forms a branch from the fuel passage with an outlet opening 39 which occupies an end face of the first chamber 38 opposite the shoulder. This outlet opening 39 is closed by a pressure relief valve 40.
- Section 36 may also include a check valve, such as a duckbill valve 50, if desired.
- the arrangement of the valves 40, 50 in and on the fuel passage can be better seen with reference to FIG. 3.
- the duckbill valve 50 comprises a tubular section 51 which carries a brim 52 projecting outwards in a wide open end and at the opposite end by two flat surfaces 54 which extend obliquely to the axis of the tubular section 51, only one of which is visible in the figure , is closed except for a narrow slit.
- the duckbill valve 50 is inserted through the opening 39 into the section 36 so far that the brim 52 abuts the shoulder 42. In this arrangement, fuel returning from the engine can flow through it easily, but prevents fuel from escaping if, due to an accident, the pressure at the flange outer port 32 is less than inside the tank.
- the pressure relief valve 40 comprises a flat valve screen 60 with a concave side facing the opening 39 and a convex outside.
- a mandrel 62 extending from the convex outer side extends in the assembled state of the valve (see FIG. 2) through a guide opening in a central section of a U-shaped flexible metallic clamp 64.
- a flat spiral spring 66 fitted on the mandrel 62 acts on the valve screen 60 away from the central portion of the bracket 64 in the form of the opening 39 and thus presses the edge of the valve screen 60 onto an edge region of the opening 39, which functions as a valve seat, and thus keeps the opening 39 closed in the idle state.
- valve screen 60 becomes against the action of the spring 66 from the edge - 6 -
- opening 39 is lifted and fuel exits through opening 39.
- the flange 26 is arranged above the storage container 14, so that fuel escaping through the valve flows back into the storage container 14.
