Background technology
Rigidity amorphous polymer material has advantage aspect the storage tank of making gas lighter, and the object lesson of being worth mentioning is the material of styrene-acrylonitrile (all SAN) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (all ABS) class.In fact, such polymer is not expensive usually and be easy to use.In addition, some the rigidity amorphous polymer such as SAN is transparent, and this just has the advantage that can see the liquid level of remaining liquid fuel in the storage tank.
In general, because such amorphous polymer is less in the elongation at elastic limit place, and usually less than 5%, so they are more crisp relatively at ambient temperature.Therefore, such polymer can't bear tensile stress, because such stress can cause microcrack, and thereby causes gas to spill.In addition, their mechanical performance can wearing out and variation along with material.
Such fragility makes gas distributing device to be engaged in the well portion of storage tank by interference fit and becomes impossible, and this is because such interference fit meeting produces microcrack, and thereby causes gas to spill.For such lighter, for instance, use can comprise a gas distributing device of following part (as among the PCT application WO01/18452 shown in Figure 8):
-the well portion the roof of extending to from the bottom of storage tank 3 is with by the core rope 27 of capillarity to " moistening " chamber feed fluid fuel;
-the one side perforated foams spare 25 that contacts and be used for making liquid fuel to evaporate with moistening chamber arranged;
-one tube-like piece 12, it is provided with a ring washer 31 with the wall of assurance well portion and the sealing to a certain degree between the sagittal plane tube-like piece wall laterally;
-screwing in the threaded collar 11 in the threaded top of attacking of well portion, the tube-like piece of compressed foam part is assemblied in this threaded collar; And
-one sleeve of usually making with brass 13 is mounted to and slips over threaded collar, and has a bottom that is equipped with the valve that is formed for controlling specific gas flow rate with tube-like piece association.
The major defect of this distributor relates to such fact, and promptly foam pieces cannot guarantee constant specific gas flow rate, thereby cannot guarantee constant flame height.Specific gas flow rate is particularly along with tank internal pressure and temperature and change.Like this, threaded collar is typically provided with a manual overvide 37, so that the user can regulate flame in various degree by foam pieces is compressed to.But, when unexpected or when involuntarily operating the flame height device, sizable variation may take place flame height.
