Description

双燃料车辆的燃料装填装置及方法
技术领域
本发明涉及一种双燃料车辆的燃料装填装置及方法，且更具体地，涉及一种用于使用汽油和液化石油气(LPG)作为燃料的双燃料车辆的、更容易地将液化石油气(LPG)装填到LPG燃料箱的燃料装填装置和方法。
背景技术
一般地，在使用汽油和液化石油气(LPG)作为燃料的双燃料车辆中，向发动机供应汽油燃料的系统与向发动机供应LPG燃料的系统配置成彼此分开，因此，以单独的方式执行汽油燃料装填和LPG燃料装填。
如图1所示，通过驱动安装在加油站的加油泵，基于加油泵的驱动将LPG燃料从LPG储存箱中传输到注油枪中，并且借助注油枪的LPG装填压力将LPG燃料装填到车辆的LPG燃料箱，来执行双燃料车辆中的LPG燃料装填。然而，在夏天或是在更温暖的温度下，当因高环境温度导致车辆的LPG燃料箱的内部压力升高超过LPG装填压力时，将存在不能装填LPG燃料的问题。
例如，在夏天，环境温度约为40℃或以上的情况下，车辆的LPG燃料箱的内部压力(例如，约16.5巴)可升高超过注油枪的LPG装填压力(例如，16.3巴＝8.3巴(在加油站处的LPG储箱中的内部压力)+8.0巴(基于加油泵的驱动的LPG泵压))。因此，可存在不能通过注油枪将LPG燃料装填进LPG燃料箱的问题。
发明内容
本发明提供了一种用于双燃料车辆的燃料装填装置和方法，当双燃料车辆中的LPG燃料箱的内部压力大于注油枪的LPG装填压力时，其能够在使用汽油燃料箱和罐筒(canister)收集部分液化石油气(LPG)燃料后，暂时燃烧该部分燃料，来将LPG燃料箱的内部压力降低至低于注油枪的LPG装填压力的水平，从而，能够更顺畅地利用注油枪来将LPG燃料装填到LPG燃料箱中。
在一方面，本发明提供了一种用于双燃料车辆的燃料装填装置，该装置可包括：电磁阀(solenoid valve)，其安装到双燃料车辆中的液化石油气(LPG)燃料箱，其中该电磁阀开启或关闭；排放管道(venting line)，其与电磁阀的出口连接；压力传感器，其配置成感测燃料箱的压力；控制器，其配置成当由压力传感器感测的燃料箱的压力等于或者高于注油枪(filling gun)的装填压力时，操作电磁阀使其暂时开启，并收集燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料；以及，收集器，其与排放管道的尾端连接，来收集通过电磁阀排放的部分LPG燃料，并向发动机供应收集的LPG燃料，用于发动机的暂时起动。
在示例性实施例中，收集器可包括：止回阀，其安装到汽油燃料箱，同时与排放管道的尾端连接；罐筒，其用于收集在经过止回阀后被引导至汽油燃料箱的上部扩展空间中的LPG燃料，并随后向发动机供应收集的LPG燃料；以及，放气阀(purge valve)，其安装到进气歧管来将从罐筒供应的LPG燃料引导至发动机的燃烧室。在另一示例性实施例中，燃料装填装置还可包括：电动门(motor-driven door)，其安装到通过装填管道与燃料箱连接的装填口(filling port)的入口部，当燃料箱的压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平时，可通过控制器开启电动门。
此外，燃料装填装置还可包括：电动门开启传感器(door opening sensor)，其安装到装填口的入口部，来感测电动门的开启状态。压力传感器可安装到调节器(regulator；稳压器)，该调节器配置成调节从燃料箱供应到发动机的燃料的压力。燃料装填装置还可包括：仪表盘，其配置成提供关于燃料装填的待机的警告，直到燃料箱压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平。
在另一方面，本发明提供了一种用于双燃料车辆的燃料装填方法，该方法可包括以下步骤：感测储存液化石油气(LPG)燃料的燃料箱的压力；当燃料箱压力等于或大于注油枪的装填压力时，收集燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料；向发动机供应收集的LPG燃料，并基于发动机的起动燃烧供应的LPG燃料，从而调节燃料箱的压力使其降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平；以及，当燃料箱压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平时，操作装填口的电动门，使其开启来将LPG燃料装填进燃料箱。
在示例性实施例中，收集燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料的步骤可包括：将燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料引导至汽油燃料箱的上部扩展空间中，并且将存在于汽油燃料箱的上部扩展空间中的LPG燃料收集进罐筒中，来向发动机的燃烧室供应收集的LPG燃料。此外，上述燃料装填方法还可包括以下步骤：通过安装在装填口的电动门开启传感器感测电动门的开启状态，从而确定电动门的故障。燃料装填方法还可包括：提供与燃料装填的待机有关的警告，直到燃料箱的压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平。
通过上述配置，本发明提供以下效果。
根据本发明，当因例如，在夏天，环境温度过度升高，导致双燃料车辆的LPG燃料箱的压力等于或大于注油枪的LPG装填压力时，燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料可被引导至汽油箱的上部扩展空间，并可在被罐筒收集后在发动机中燃烧。因此，能够降低燃料箱的压力，使其低于注油枪的装填压力，因此，可更顺畅地使用注油枪将LPG燃料装填到燃料箱中。

图2和图3是示出根据本发明的示例性实施例的用于双燃料车辆的燃料装填装置的配置的视图。在图2和图3中，附图标记“10”表示将装填液化石油气(LPG)燃料以将其储存的燃料箱。配置成向发动机30供应LPG燃料的燃料泵12可布置在燃料箱10内。调节器14可安装在将燃料箱10与发动机30连接的燃料供应管道处以调节燃料供应压力，因此燃料供应压力可具有大致恒定的水平。
此外，装填管道16可与燃料箱10连接。装填口18可安装到装填管道16的入口处。可将加油站的注油枪插入装填口18来执行填料。具体地，调节器14可包括配置成感测从燃料箱10供应的燃料的压力，即，燃料箱10的内部压力(例如，燃料压力)的压力传感器15。此外，电磁阀20可以以可开闭的方式安装到燃料箱10的燃料出口处。
具体地，电磁阀20可以以可开关闭的方式(例如，能够通过控制器的操作开启和关闭)安装在安装在燃料箱10中的燃料泵12的出口位置处。排放管道(venting line)22可与电磁阀20的出口连接。此外，当电磁阀20开启时，排放管道22可配置成从燃料箱10引导部分LPG燃料，使其排向汽油燃料箱40。此外，当通过压力传感器15感测的燃料箱压力等于或者大于注油枪的装填压力(例如，当因例如，在夏天，环境温度过度升高，导致车辆中的燃料箱的LPG压力升高超过注油枪的LPG装填压力时)时，可通过控制器24暂时地开启电磁阀20。具体地，可通过排放管道22向收集器排放燃料箱10中的LPG燃料。
换句话说，控制器24可配置成接收来自压力传感器15的感测信号，并可配置成在基于该感测信号确定燃料箱压力等于或大于注油枪的装填压力时，暂时开启电磁阀20。因此，可通过开启的电磁阀20和排放管道22将燃料箱10中的LPG燃料排放到收集器中。收集器可与排放管道22的尾端(例如，自由端)连接，并且可收集通过电磁阀20排放的部分LPG燃料，随后，将收集的LPG燃料供应至发动机用于暂时起动发动机。
此外，收集器可包括：止回阀42，其安装到汽油燃料箱40，同时与排放管道22的尾端连接；以及，罐筒46(canister)，其用于收集在经过止回阀42后被引导至汽油燃料箱40的上部扩展空间44中的LPG燃料，并随后向发动机供应收集的LPG燃料。收集器还可包括：放气阀48，其安装到进气歧管来将从罐筒供应的LPG燃料引导至发动机的燃烧室。
根据上述布置，排放管道可连接在安装到燃料箱10的电磁阀20与安装到汽油燃料箱40的止回阀42之间。具体地，可在汽油燃料箱40的上部空间处布置未装填燃料的剩余扩展空间。通过排放管道22和止回阀42被引入汽油燃料箱40的LPG燃料可暂时保留在扩展空间44中。此外，收集蒸发的汽油等的罐筒46可与汽油燃料箱40连接。因此，被引入扩展空间44中的LPG燃料可在被收集在罐筒46中后，被供应至发动机。
作为参考，由于汽油和LPG都是烃类化合物，因此罐筒46可配置成收集任何蒸发的汽油和LPG的气体。最终，可通过安装到进气歧管的放气阀48将从罐筒46供应的LPG燃料引入发动机的燃烧室，并且随后可进行燃烧。具体地，控制器24可配置成执行发动机的起动，同时向发动机供应LPG燃料。例如，发动机控制单元(ECU)(未示出)可配置成当控制器24向ECU发送用于电磁阀20的开启控制信号时，执行发动机的起动。
如上所述，当燃料箱压力等于或大于注油枪的装填压力时，燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料将被引导至汽油燃料箱40的上部扩展空间44中，并且可在被被罐筒46收集后，在发动机中燃烧。因此，能够降低燃料箱压力，使其低于注油枪的装填压力，因此，可更顺畅地使用注油枪将LPG燃料装填进燃料箱中。另一方面，电动门26可安装在通过装填管道16与燃料箱10连接的装填口18的入口部。当燃料箱压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平时，可通过控制器24开启电动门26。
当不能进行LPG燃料装填时(例如，当因例如，在夏天，环境温度过度升高，导致车辆的LPG燃料箱压力升高超过注油枪的LPG装填压力时)，电动门26可保持关闭状态。具体地，驾驶员可识别出不可装填的状态。在另一方面，当由于燃料箱压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平，从而达到装填可行状态时，可通过控制器24开启电动门26，从而允许驾驶员识别出装填可行状态。
此外，可通过布置在驾驶员座位前方的仪表盘(未示出)显示提供关于燃料装填的待机状态(standby state)的通知的警告文本或信息，直到燃料箱压力从与不能进行LPG燃料装填的状态对应的水平降低到与能进行LPG燃料装填的状态对应的水平为止。因此，驾驶员可更清楚地识别出是否能够进行LPG燃料装填。
此外，电动门开启传感器28可安装在装填口18的入口部，来感测电动门26的开启状态。电动门开启传感器28可配置成确定电动门26是否处于开启状态，以及是否发生电动门26的故障。换句话说，当在通过控制器24操作电动门26使其开启的条件下，电动门开启传感器28未能感测到电动门26的开启状态时，控制器24可配置成确定电动门26发生故障，并且通过仪表盘显示警告文本等。因此，驾驶员可识别出电动门26的故障。
在下文中，将参考图2至图4描述根据本发明的示例性实施例的用于具有上述配置的双燃料车辆的燃料装填方法。首先，可通过用户或驾驶员操作用于LPG燃料装填的装填开关(S101)。在操作装填开关时，控制器可配置成确定发动机是处于开启状态还是关闭状态(S102)。当发动机不处于关闭状态时，可通过仪表盘显示停止发动机的警告文本(S103)。此外，当发动机处于关闭状态时，可感测储存LPG燃料的燃料箱的压力。
具体地，可通过安装在用于调节燃料供应压力的调节器14内的压力传感器15执行燃料箱压力的感测。换句话说，在调节器14的入口与燃料箱10的内部连通的条件下，压力传感器15可配置成将从燃料箱10向调节器14供应的LPG燃料的压力感测为燃料箱的内部压力。此后，控制器24可配置成接收由压力传感器15感测的燃料箱压力，并将接收的燃料箱压力与基准压力进行比较(例如，LPG加油站中提供的装填设备或注油枪的装填压力，例如，约为10巴)(S104)。
响应于基于比较结果确定燃料箱压力等于或大于注油枪的装填压力，可基于来自控制器24的控制命令开启电磁阀20(S105)。当电磁阀20开启时，燃料箱10中的LPG燃料可通过排放管道22和止回阀42被引入汽油燃料箱40的上部扩展空间44中(S106)。所引入的LPG燃料可被收集在罐筒46中，并随后可通过安装到进气歧管的放气阀被引入发动机燃烧室中。供应至发动机燃烧室的LPG燃料可根据发动机的起动而燃烧，因此可被消耗(S107)。
由于燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料被供应至发动机，并随后进行燃烧，因此能够将燃料箱的内部压力降低到等于或小于注油枪的装填压力的水平(例如，约为8巴或以下)。具体地，可暂时地执行发动机的起动，来降低燃料箱的内部压力，因此，不存在失火或LPG的过度消耗的问题。此后，控制器可配置成确定燃料箱的内部压力是否降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平(S108)。当燃料箱的内部压力小于注油枪的装填压力时，可通过控制器24开启装填口18的电动门26(S109)。在此状态下，能够通过将装填设备插入装填口18中以更顺畅地将LPG燃料装填进燃料箱。
此外，控制器可配置成提供关于燃料装填待机的警告，直到燃料箱的内部压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平。换句话说，可通过布置在驾驶员座椅前方的仪表盘(未示出)显示提供关于燃料注入待机的通知的警告文本，直到燃料箱的内部压力降低到低于注油枪的装填压力的水平，即，燃料箱达到装填可行状态。因此，驾驶员可更清楚地识别出是否能进行LPG燃料装填。
此外，可通过安装到装填口18的电动门开启传感器28感测电动门26的开启状态，从而确定是否发生电动门26的故障。例如，当在通过控制器24操作电动门26使其开启的条件下，电动门开启传感器28未能感测到电动门26的开启状态时，控制器24可配置成确定电动门26的故障，随后，控制器24可配置成通过仪表盘显示警告文本，等。因此，驾驶员可识别出电动门26的故障。
从上文描述中显而易见的是，当因例如，在夏天，环境温度过度升高，导致车辆的LPG燃料箱压力等于或者大于注油枪的LPG装填压力时，可将燃料箱中的部分LPG燃料引导至汽油箱的上部扩展空间中，并且在通过罐筒收集该部分LPG燃料后，可将其在发动机中燃烧。因此，能够降低燃料箱压力使其低于注油枪的装填压力，因此，可更顺畅地使用注油枪将LPG燃料装填进燃料箱。因此，能够解决在传统情况中遇到的问题，即，当因在夏天发生的环境温度过度升高，导致LPG燃料箱的压力等于或者大于注油枪的LPG装填压力时发生不能装填LPG燃料的问题。
已经参考本发明的示例性实施例详细地描述了本发明。然而，本领域的技术人员应当理解的是，在不违背所附权利要求和其等效所界定的本发明的原理、精神和范围的情况下，可在这些示例性实施例中做出修改。
