Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure system for a fuel tank filling pipe- Filling pipes found on fuel tanks, particularly tanks carried in motor vehicles, are closed during normal use of the tank, when the tank is not being filled.
  • the pipe is generally closed by a plug inserted into the top of the pipe with a rotary movement to close the pipe with a liquid- and gas-tight seal.
  • Various kinds of metal and/or plastic plugs are found, being sealed by a seal created by screwing or turning a key inserted into the centre of the part external to the pipe.
  • closure systems integrated into the filling pipe have been put forward as replacements for the traditional plug.
  • the improved versions of these generally comprise fastening means for preventing the said systems opening accidentally, for example when the bowl (the depression in the bodywork, closed by the fuel flap, where the filling pipe is located) with a pressure washer.
  • application WO 03/010022 in the applicant's name thus discloses a closure device with fastening means that can be disengaged by exerting pressure parallel to the axis of the pipe head, and are re-engaged automatically by the closure of the fuel flap.
  • a closure device with fastening means that can be disengaged by exerting pressure parallel to the axis of the pipe head, and are re-engaged automatically by the closure of the fuel flap.
  • Such a system has the advantage of automatic locking coupled to the closure of the flap, and of being operational even if the vehicle's electrical system fails (disengagement being effected manually by the insertion of the nozzle).
  • application FR 04.13408 in the applicant's name relates to a closure system comprising a moving ring capable of preventing the movement of a closure piece by a bayonet system, and in which the movement between the opening and closing (or vice- versa) of the bayonet system is dependent on a dedicated actuator and consists of a progressive helical movement which progressively compresses (or decompresses) a seal placed between the closure piece and the pipe head.
  • the drawback of such a system is that the closure piece moves in one direction for locking (compressing the seal) and in the other direction for unlocking (decompressing the seal), which complicates the mechanism of the system and also subjects the parts to localized wear, the helical movement generally occupying less than 360°.
  • the present invention solves the problems noted above by providing a completely symmetrical bayonet system, which can therefore be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise for locking (or unlocking) and even turned continuously, always in the same direction, from a locked position to an unlocked position of the system. It is therefore a sort of "universal" bayonet system (or reversible double bayonet), able to be turned continuously either clockwise or anticlockwise, opened by turning it left and closed by turning it right, or vice-versa.
  • the present invention relates to a closure system for the head of a fuel tank filling pipe, the said system comprising :
  • fuel tank is used here to refer to any type of tank capable of storing a liquid and/or gas fuel under varying conditions of pressure and temperature. Of more particular interest are tanks of the type found in motor vehicles.
  • motor vehicle is intended to include cars, motor cycles and lorries.
  • the filling pipe is a pipe which communicates with the interior of the tank and allows fuel to be introduced.
  • the tank and the pipe may be made of metal or plastic.
  • the closure system of the invention is suitable for a tank and filling pipe assembly in which at least one of the two components of the assembly is made of plastic. It is particularly suitable for an assembly in which the filling pipe is made of plastic.
  • This closure system itself preferably includes at least one plastic component. It is most particularly preferred for it to be made mainly of plastic.
  • plastic is used here to denote any material comprising at least one synthetic resin polymer.
  • plastic may be suitable.
  • Very suitable plastics belong to the category of thermoplastics.
  • thermoplastic denotes any thermoplastic polymer, including thermoplastic elastomers, and their blends.
  • polymer denotes both homopolymers and copolymers (especially binary or ternary copolymers). Without implying any limitation, examples of such copolymers are : random copolymers, linear block copolymers, other block copolymers and graft copolymers.
  • thermoplastic polymer or copolymer whose melting point is below the decomposition temperature is suitable.
  • Synthetic thermoplastics that have a melting range spread over at least 10 degrees Celsius are particularly suitable. Examples of such materials include those that exhibit polydispersion in their molecular weight.
  • polyolefins polyvinyl halides, thermoplastic polyesters, polyketones, polyamides and copolymers thereof may be used.

  • at least some of these polymeric materials contain a conductive filler (such as carbon black) to avoid problems with static electricity.
  • multilayer structures consisting of stacked layers bonded together, comprising at least one of the polymers or copolymers described above.
  • the purpose of the closure system according to the invention is to act as a plug that will seal the top of the filling pipe during periods when the tank is not being filled, in order to prevent any escape and loss of liquid fuel and vapour into the atmosphere if the tank contains fuel.
  • the closure system according to the invention is preferably integrated into the head of the filling pipe, that is to say, it is incorporated non-removably (in the sense that, unlike a plug, it does not have to be removed to gain access to the filling aperture, though it may of course be removed for repair or replacement) in an assembly of components all mounted on the top end of the filling pipe, their function being to guide a fuel dispensing nozzle and to facilitate filling.
  • the pipe head comprises an aperture which communicates with (forms a continuation of) the filling pipe and which the closure piece of the system according to the invention seals shut when in the closed (locked) position.
  • the closure system preferably enables automatic opening of the pipe through the action of a filling nozzle when it is in the unlocked position.
  • automated opening means that the pipe is opened simply by the action of the dispensing nozzle, with no other mechanical intervention.
  • the dispensing nozzle is of the type fitted to the hoses of fuel pumps in service stations.
  • the closure system includes a closure piece, meaning a device which closes the passage of gases and liquids through the abovementioned opening in the pipe head. This closure piece may take various forms, but according to the invention must be of essentially circular cross section.
  • a disc One suitable shape is the shape of a moving disc which blocks the passage when in the closed position. This disc preferably pivots about an axis.

  • a pressure/vacuum SPD or Securite en Pression et Depression
  • the closure piece is therefore preferably retractable when force is directed against it along an axis parallel to the axis of the pipe head.
  • Various means may be present to make the closure piece retractable.
  • One means that has given good results is a rod connected to the pipe head and fixed to the periphery of the closure piece, which can act as an axis of rotation to allow the closure piece to pivot.
  • the closure piece is preferably provided with means for attaching the rod to its perimeter.
  • the closure piece is kept closed by a restoring spring.
  • a spring that is suitable is a torsion spring mounted around the rod with one end connected to the closure piece.

  • a rotatable piece which is preferably basically ring-shaped, and which for simplicity will hereinafter be referred to by the term "ring”
  • the engaging parts the reliefs
  • These reliefs are preferably of a geometry that allows not only a rotary movement of the ring between the locked and unlocked positions of the bayonet, but also a "vertical" movement (parallel to the axis of the closure piece) of this ring for the compression/decompression of a seal situated between the closure piece and the pipe head or, more precisely, around the perimeter of the opening in the latter which the closure piece is designed to close.
  • This seal may be of any kind.
  • An O-ring seal gives goods results.
  • the material of this seal will preferably be chosen to withstand fuel vapour. Fluorinated elastomers are suitable for this.
  • one part may thus comprise cutouts suitable in number, size and shape for allowing the movement and passage of arms located on the other part (the closure piece).

  • the shelf and the arms are bevelled in a complementary manner, i.e. have a discontinuous relief such as to facilitate both their vertical and rotary movements.
  • the first movement imparted to the ring is a movement of rotation only, about the axis of the closure piece (describing for example at least 1/8, or 1/6, and preferably at least 1/4 of a revolution (this fraction being in fact decided by the number of arms)), followed by a similar movement of rotation combined with a movement of translation parallel to this axis, for example about a few tenths of a millimetre, or even around 1 mm, depending on the nature of the seal (so that its compression is sufficient to achieve the desired leaktightness)) in a direction allowing decompression of the seal.

  • a "manual" actuator (such as a lever, wire, ignition key, etc.) is one possibility.
  • the bayonet ring generally moves in one direction to open, and in the opposite direction to close, the system according to the invention. If so, the ring need simply be provided with a drive tongue which can be connected to the fuel flap by a suitable mechanical link (a system of links, for example). This tongue is then subjected to a to-and-fro movement between a position in which the system is locked and a position in which the system is unlocked.

  • the closure system according to the present invention also has a protective shield for the closure piece which is movable in basically the same plane, preferably basically at right angles to the axis of the pipe.
  • the said shield is movable by pivoting about an axis parallel to the axis of the pipe, in the same plane.
  • this variant also gives good results with other closure systems than those of the invention.
  • Such a movement (of pivoting about an axis rather than of translation) allows the use of a protective shield of reduced size (a fraction of a slide), with its movement limited when compared with the complete slide (shield) system described in the abovementioned application ( Figures 13 to 18). The result is a more reliable system with less friction- induced wear.

  • Such a system is suitable for continuous (360°) rotary operation, moving successively from a locked position (in which the arms of the corresponding closure piece lie on the flat profile (4) of the shelf) to an unlocked position (in which these arms are in the recesses (I)).

  • the arms are bevelled at their ends (9) to allow them to ride easily over the profile of the shelf and in particular to engage on and follow the different slopes of the shelf between two consecutive recesses, and so compress/decompress a seal (not shown).
