As mentioned above, because the lower, outer perimeter tight joint of the sidewall 11 of the base end part 35a of the barrier 35 in the present embodiment and housing body 10, so can securely bottom 30 be installed on the housing body 10.
In addition, because the leading section of barrier 35 is entrenched among the slit 26a that forms on the supporting blade 25, so can prevent barrier 35 (near the direction of the sidewall 11 of housing body 10) lodging to the inside or (away from the direction of the sidewall 11 of housing body 10) bending laterally reliably, keep the gap between barrier 35 and the through hole 20 reliably.
In addition, owing to constitute the cover plate wall 27 of the supporting blade 25 that the leading section to barrier 35 supports, the sidewall 11 of one side and housing body 10 links (with reference to Fig. 2,7), so can improve the rigidity of supporting blade 25, can support the leading section of barrier 35 reliably.
In addition, for barrier 35, it is supported because the lower, outer perimeter of the sidewall 11 of its base end part 35a and housing body 10 is combined closely, and supported 25 of leading section supports, so the both ends of barrier 35 are all supported, can prevent reliably that barrier 35 from bending laterally or the distortion of lodging to the inside etc. or deflection etc., can guarantee the gap between barrier 35 and the through hole 20 reliably.
As mentioned above, by bottom 30 is installed on housing body 10, is configured in the float bowl R1 and float valve 50 accommodated slidably, and between the base plate 31 of float valve 50 and bottom 30, the 2nd preloading spring S2 is installed.Float valve 50 by deadweight compression the 2nd preloading spring S2, and is positioned on the base plate 31 under the state that is not immersed in the fuel.In addition, because vehicle roll etc. rises fuel, when float valve 50 was immersed in the fuel, the 2nd preloading spring S2 applied predetermincd tension upwards with the buoyancy that float valve 50 is produced to float valve 50.
Below, the action effect of this valve gear 1 is described.
Engage with the pawl 18a that engages of support snap-latch piece 18 by the lateral border that is welded in the support B on the Fuel Tank T, thereby valve gear 1 is installed on the support B, valve gear 1 is installed in the inside of Fuel Tank T.In addition, connecting pipings on the connection pipe 16 of valve gear 1, this pipe arrangement links with the exterior not shown filtering tank that is configured in Fuel Tank T.
In addition, do not rock at vehicle, the liquid level of the fuel in the Fuel Tank does not tilt, float valve 50 is not impregnated under the state in the fuel, compress the 2nd preloading spring S2 by the deadweight of float valve 50, the valve head 51 of float valve 50 separates with valve seat 31a, and connected entrance 13 is opened (with reference to Fig. 4,5).
Under above-mentioned state, if vehicle turns to or the inclination amplitude is big the liquid level of fuel F is risen, float valve 50 is immersed in the fuel more than or equal to specified altitude, then to float valve 50 effect buoyancy, and predetermincd tension by the 2nd preloading spring S2, float valve 50 floats, and as shown in Figure 6, valve head 51 is with valve seat 13a butt and inaccessible connected entrance 13.Its result, fuel is prevented from by the situation that connected entrance 13 flows in the breather chamber R2, can prevent the external leaks of fuel to Fuel Tank T reliably.
In addition, in vehicle ' on rough road and up-down vibration or double swerve, perhaps under the situation of sharply turning, fuel F in the Fuel Tank T rocks or splashes small spittle shape fuel spittle Fa etc. from level of fuel as shown in Figure 5, and these might collide on the sidewall 11 of housing body 10.
Relative therewith, because in this valve gear 1, a plurality of through hole 20a on the sidewall 11 that is formed at housing body 10, the outside of 20b, form barrier 35 across specified gap, so as shown in Figure 5, even fuel F that rocks or fuel spittle Fa collision can prevent that also their direct impacts are on a plurality of through hole 20a, 20b on the sidewall 11 of housing body 10.Its result can prevent that fuel from entering in the float bowl R1 fiercely from a plurality of through hole 20a, 20b, enters breather chamber R2 side from the connected entrance 13 that is arranged on the partition wall 12.
In addition, as mentioned above because barrier 35 is installed in the below of housing body 10, extend upward from the periphery of bottom 30, be configured in the outside of a plurality of through hole 20a, 20b, so the below of a plurality of through hole 20a, 20b also is blocked wall 35 and covers, therefore, even, can prevent that also it from entering in a plurality of through hole 20a, the 20b because rocking or turning to etc. of vehicle rocked fuel F and splash fuel spittle Fa from the below.
In addition, in the present embodiment, owing to erecting from the top of top through hole 20a, cap shape lug 26 covers this top through hole 20a, even the fuel F amplitude that teetertotters is bigger so be accompanied by vehicle roll, thereby fuel is fallen from the top of cap shape lug 26, can prevent that also fuel F from directly invading among through hole 20a, the 20b fiercely.
In addition, because the supporting blade 25 that the leading section of barrier 35 is formed on the sidewall 11 of housing body 10 supports, bend laterally so can prevent barrier 35.Its result can suppress barrier 35 and damage and prevent that through hole 20 from exposing, and can prevent that the fuel spittle Fa etc. from invading from through hole 20.In addition, owing to also can prevent that barrier 35 from lodge to the inside, so guarantee gap between the sidewall 11 of barrier 35 and housing body 10, maintenance through hole 20 is the state of opening.Its result can keep through hole 20 to be the state of opening, shown in the arrow of Fig. 7, can make reliably through hole 20 as will flow into liquid fuel F in the float bowl R1 discharge, and the gangway of fuel vapour or air etc. work.
And the supporting blade 25 of present embodiment by the cover plate wall 27 of cap shape lug 26 with the outside that covers through hole 20, can prevent that fuel F and the fuel spittle Fa from entering in the float bowl R1 of housing body 10 from through hole 20.In addition, because a side 27a of described cover plate wall 27 and the sidewall of housing body 10 11 link, so opposite side 27b opening is as shown in Figure 7, can guarantee the gangway of fuel and air reliably, can make fuel, fuel vapour or air be easy to pass through via through hole 20.
In addition, in the present embodiment, below the described cover plate wall 27 of the sidewall 11 of housing body 10, and vertically be provided with flange 28,28 in the Width both sides of barrier 35, gap between the sidewall 11 of covering barrier 35 and housing body 10 is so can make fuel F and fuel spittle Fa be difficult to invade through hole 20 from the both sides of barrier 35.
But, rise and utilize under the state of float valve 50 inaccessible connected entrances 13 situation that also exists the pressure in the Fuel Tank T to raise at the liquid level of fuel F.In this case, because the ball valve V that the peristome 15a of valve body resettlement section 15 is closed resists the predetermincd tension of the 1st preloading spring S1 and slides upward, 15a opens with peristome, fuel vapo(u)r is discharged outside Fuel Tank, so the pressure in the Fuel Tank is remained specified value.
And the valve gear 1 that forms above-mentioned structure fits together and is configured in Fuel Tank with the Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve sometimes.Promptly, in Fuel Tank, except the valve gear 1 that works as shutoff valve, also dispose the Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve, if level of fuel reach a certain height when refueling, then the Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve is closed, and (bent tube) is recycled to the assigned position place of fuel filler pipe with fuel by not shown bend pipe, and the supply of fuel is stopped.
And, set the electrolyte level of valve gear 1 (shutoff valve) when closing, the electrolyte level when closing than Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve exceeds predetermined distance, to prevent that valve gear 1 (shutoff valve) cuts out before the Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve is closed.That is, before the Fuel Tank anti-overflow valve is closed and stopped oiling, need keep the state that can make fuel vapour or air exhaustion, that is, keep through hole 20 and be the state of opening by the float bowl R1 of housing 5.
Corresponding with above-mentioned requirements, in valve gear involved in the present invention 1, can guarantee the gap between the sidewall 11 of barrier 35 and housing 5 as mentioned above, keeping through hole 20 is the state of opening.
Other embodiment of float-controlled valve device of the present invention has been shown in Fig. 8,9.In addition, the part mark same numeral at substantially identical with above-mentioned embodiment omits its explanation.
The float-controlled valve device 1a of present embodiment (hereinafter referred to as " valve gear 1a "), on the periphery of the sidewall 11 of the housing body 10 that constitutes housing 5, formation with the recessed depressed part 11a of prescribed depth, forms described through hole 20 in the bottom of this depressed part 11a to the internal diameter direction of housing body 10.11a is corresponding with this depressed part, week in the sidewall 11 of housing body 10, and on the position that forms depressed part 11a, form the shape of protruding with specified altitude to internal diameter direction.
According to above-mentioned embodiment, because the formation position of through hole 20 is compared with described embodiment, can be to the internal side diameter skew of housing body 10, so can keep the gap between barrier 35 and the through hole 20 on one side, make the internal diameter formation of the extension 35b of barrier 35 on one side near housing body 10, its result can realize the densification of barrier 35.In addition, because through hole 20 is formed on the bottom with the recessed depressed part 11a of prescribed depth, so can make fuel spittle Fa and fuel further be difficult to enter in the through hole 20.
