Below with the process of brief description fueling.
In Fig. 2, when fueling, after vehicle is parked in petrol service station, when opening operator's saddle door lock (not shown), the latch-release of lock pin 31 and fuel cap 15.But fuel cap 15 is not opened.When next using hand push fuel cap 15, fuel cap 15 is elected device 33 and is promoted also to open automatically, is manually further opened (see figure 1) then.In the time will closing fuel cap 15, the fuel cap of opening 15 is overcome the elastic force of electing device 33 and close.Then, the operator's saddle door lock is closed, then lock pin 31 enters in the lock opening features 68 of impact member 26, and fuel cap 15 is locked.
The operation of the lid structure of the fuel filler tube opening that is used for first embodiment will be described below.
As shown in Figure 1, when the actuation member 27 that is provided for opening and closing fuel cap 15 engages with the copulational protuberance 63 that is arranged on fuel adapter 16 1 sides, actuation member 27 is applied to the motivator of closing on fuel cap 15 directions, so closing state is not opened and remained on to fuel cap 15.Therefore, as described in the prior art part, do not need to use the member such as S shape spring to come the hinge 22 that support fuel cap 15 makes fuel cap to open and close is applied motivator, do not need to form the space of placing S shape spring yet.Therefore, the size of fuel adapter 16 can reduce, and its productive costs also can be reduced.
When the impact member 26 on being arranged on fuel cap 15 and actuation member 27 engage with the copulational protuberance 63 that is arranged on body panel 13 (fuel adapter a 16) side, the motivator that fuel cap 15 is actuated member 27 under the situation that the locking of door lock has been disengaged is actuated at closing direction, prevents that fuel cap 15 from opening with running counter to the automotive occupant intention.
As shown in Figure 7, when closing fuel cap 15, actuation member 27 contacts with the copulational protuberance 63 that is positioned at body panel 13 1 sides, shown in solid line.Along with further closing of fuel cap 15, the extension component 75 of actuation member 27 or extruder member 76 elastic deformations also begin to open shown in arrow b 1.When extruder member 76 process copulational protuberances 63, because extruder member applies squeese pressure by elastic force (motivator) (on the direction of arrow b2), fuel cap 15 continues to rotate in (on the direction of arrow a2) on the closing direction under the effect of the component of the hand pressure that continues and motivator.When election device 33 arrival of pressurized push the state (see figure 4), do not extend because elect the compression coil spring 53 of device 33, so even hand is removed from the fuel cap 15 that is in fuel cap off position E as shown in Figure 1, fuel cap 15 still is in closed condition.
When fuel cap 15 was in closed condition (fuel cap off position E), extruder member 76 or extension component 75 engaged with copulational protuberance 63, so actuation member 27 applies motivator to fuel cap 15.Therefore in the closed procedure of the pass of fuel cap 15, actuation member 27 is not closed fuel cap 15 automatically.Therefore can prevent that object is sandwiched between fuel cap 15 and the fuel adapter 16.
In addition, when fuel cap 15 was in closed condition, actuation member 27 was drawn fuel cap 15 at closing direction, and this inside pulling force (motivator) makes fuel cap 15 be pressed against and elects on the device 33.Therefore, when removing the locking of fuel cap 15 by the locking of removing door lock, fuel cap 15 can be owing to the effect that for example is subjected to (on arrow b3 direction) centnifugal force G when vehicle is turned right is opened.In addition, fuel cap 15 can be prevented at the light exercise that opens and closes on the direction, and fuel cap 15 vibrations (making a sound) can be prevented.
Under the situation of fuel cap 15 non-lockings, even fuel cap 15 can not opened yet when fuel cap 15 is sprayed by water in the carwash process.
Because the motivator of actuation member 27 is set to less than the tensile force of electing device 33, so copulational protuberance 63 can overcome motivator by the tensile force that forms when electing device 33 projections, move shown in arrow b1 through the extruder member 76 of actuation member 27, fuel cap 15 can automatically be opened.
In fuel adapter 16, need in the first wall parts 41 of an end of side member 35, not be formed for holding the spill housing parts of hinge or spring.Therefore, the size of fuel adapter 16 can reduce, and its productive costs also can reduce.
Because actuation member 27 mainly is made of fixed parts 74, extension component 75 and extruder member 76, so its structure obtains simplifying.
When the opening between the extruder member 76 of actuation member 27 was big, extension component 75 contacted with lock opening features 68 and prevents that extruder member 76 from opening, and therefore can keep motivator.
In fuel cap lockout mechanism 23, because actuation member link 57 is formed in the impact member 26, and first tab portion 81 and second tab portion 82 are formed in the actuation member 27, so actuation member 27 can be only before being fixed is engaged by first tab portion 81 and second tab portion 82 are hooked in actuation member link 57, and can easily assemble actuation member 27.
Because lock opening features 68 prevents the rotation when actuation member 27 is connected to impact member 26, even so be subjected to also can preventing when using outside thread member 71 to carry out the fixing power on rotation direction of screw thread that in actuation member 27 actuation member 27 from rotating, and can easily actuation member 27 and impact member 26 be assembled.

The concrete structure of copulational protuberance 155 is, contact component 161 is formed on engage body 197 towards the front end place of impact member 151, make pin-and-hole 201 that lock pin 165 can slide and the axis 198 of attachment 197 form concentrically, by being formed on the central authorities of longitudinal direction with the stop shoulder 202 of the effect of playing retainer with the edge joint of the second hole parts 195 of base caps 185, insert convergent parts 204 with the continuous pin of pin-and-hole 201 and be formed on the rear end, and insert the continuous elastic body receiving end 205 of convergent parts 204 with pin and be formed the end that bolt-lock is lived actuation gear 156.Elastic body receiving end 205 receives the motivator of actuation gear 156.Actuation gear 156 is for example to compress spring.
The motivator of actuation gear 156 (spring force) produces when lid lock apparatus 122 non-lockings less than the component of force of opening releasing power of electing device 118, and is set to produce the component of force of closing confining force greater than electing device 118.
Be the load that the hydraulic pressure when being enough to prevent fuel cap 115 by the centnifugal force G that for example produces at Ackermann steer angle or high Pressure-washing apparatus is opened greater than the component of force of closing confining force.
Be to make fuel cap 115 can be elected the load that device 118 is opened less than the component of force of opening releasing power.
Below with reference to the operation of Figure 14 A to 14C explanation according to the lid structure that is used for the fuel adding opening of second embodiment.
Shown in Figure 14 A, fuel cap 115 is fixed to body panel 113 by being locked by lid lock apparatus 122.When after fuel cap 115 has been closed, near the switch the operator's saddle being adjusted to " locking ", lock pin 165 advances (on arrow d1 direction) by lock driver element 164 (Fig. 3), and lock pin 165 engages through the lockhole parts 172 of impact member 151 and with lockhole parts 172, thus locking fuel cap 115.
Under the situation of opening fuel cap 115, when aforementioned switch was adjusted to " release ", the locking by lock pin 165 was disengaged (Figure 14 B).
Since by the contact component 161 (second inclined surface 162) with copulational protuberance 155 be pushed against impact member 151 contact component 157 (first inclined surface 158) and with fuel cap 115 bolt-locks on body panel 113, so the use actuate spring so that fuel cap 115 bolt-locks to the structure on the body panel 113 is arranged in the single lid lock apparatus 122.Therefore, fuel adding vent cover structure 100 can be simplified, and the size of fuel adding vent cover structure 100 can reduce.
Specifically, when the motivator of copulational protuberance 155 by actuation gear 156 promotes to be arranged on impact member 151 on the fuel cap 115 shown in arrow d2, component of force acts on first inclined surface 158 of impact member 151 towards the inboard of body panel 113 (on the direction of arrow d3) shown in arrow d4, so fuel cap 115 is pulled to the inboard (on the direction of arrow d3) of body panel 113.Produce (on arrow d5 direction) with retracted mode and close confining force pushing because elect device 118, so fuel cap 115 is pushed to the outside (on arrow d6 direction) of body panel 113.At this moment, (component of force and close confining force) all is balances because default power, so fuel cap 115 keeps closing at off position E.
In fuel adding vent cover structure 100 as shown in Figure 14B, even because when the locking of fuel cap 115 is disengaged because above-mentioned equilibrium of forces makes the distal component of copulational protuberance 155 keep engaging with impact member 151, so fuel cap 115 can not opened.Therefore, interfere even when the locking of fuel cap 115 is disengaged, also can prevent near the object the fuel cap 115 with body panel 113 outsides.
When next using hand H (on arrow d7 direction) pushing fuel cap 115 behind the latch-release, fuel cap 115 inwardly move (state shown in long and two-short dash line) enter (on arrow d3 direction) in the body panel 113, then impact member 151 is inwardly moved when preventing from by detaching gear 159 interfering with copulational protuberance 155.
Shown in Figure 14 C, elected the opening of (on arrow d8 direction) of devices 118 removes when trying hard to recommend out when fuel cap 115 beginning, first inclined surface 158 of impact member 151 with move when the contact component 161 of copulational protuberance 155 contacts, and impact member 151 causes copulational protuberance 155 to overcome the elastic force of actuation gear 156 and (on arrow d9 direction) withdrawal.Therefore fuel cap 115 opens to minimum open position Ka.
When fuel cap 115 begins to close after the fueling, carry out opposite motion; That is: the transformation of generation from the state shown in Figure 14 C to the state shown in Figure 14 B, and the contact component 157 of impact member 151 (first inclined surface 158) begins to arrive the contact component 161 (second inclined surface 162) of copulational protuberance 155.Because the contact component 161 of first inclined surface 158 of impact member 151 and copulational protuberance 155 slides owing to the motion of copulational protuberance 155 on direction of propulsion abuts against each other and engages, so fuel cap 115 can be actuated at closing direction, and fuel cap 115 is automatically closed.
In the fuel adding vent cover structure 100 of above-mentioned configuration, copulational protuberance 155 can be actuated fuel cap 115 at closing direction (arrow d3 direction) towards impact member 151 (on arrow d2 direction) motion because actuation gear 156 is set to by actuating copulational protuberance 155, so need not provide spring to actuate fuel cap 115 at closing direction in hinge 143 (Fig. 8) side, fuel adding vent cover structure 100 can be simplified and the size of fuel adding vent cover structure 100 can reduce.
Illustrated that the lid structure for the fuel adding opening of the present invention is used for the example of vehicle, but covering structure can be used on the non-vehicle application also.
