Abstract
Die Erfindung stellt einen Einfüllstutzen (10) für einen Kraftstofftank mit den folgenden Merkmalen bereit: der Einfüllstutzen (10) weist eine vordere Dichtklappe (15) zum Abdichten des Kraftstofftanks und eine mit der vorderen Dichtklappe (15) verbundene Anzeige (18, 19, 22) auf; die vordere Dichtklappe (15) ist derart gelagert, dass ein Zapfventil (20) die vordere Dichtklappe (15) aufstößt, wenn das Zapfventil (20) vollständig in den Einfüllstutzen (10) eingeführt wird; die vordere Dichtklappe (15) ist derart federbelastet, dass die vordere Dichtklappe (15) sich selbsttätig schließt, wenn das Zapfventil (20) aus dem Einfüllstutzen (10) gezogen wird; und der Einfüllstutzen (10) ist derart konfiguriert, dass die Anzeige (18, 19, 22) anzeigt, ob die vordere Dichtklappe (15) geöffnet oder geschlossen ist. Die Erfindung stellt ferner ein entsprechend ausgerüstetes Kraftfahrzeug bereit.The invention provides a filler neck (10) for a fuel tank having the following features: the filler neck (10) has a front sealing flap (15) for sealing the fuel tank and a display (18, 19, 22) connected to the front sealing flap (15) ) on; the front sealing flap (15) is mounted such that a dispensing valve (20) pushes the front sealing flap (15) when the dispensing valve (20) is fully inserted into the filler neck (10); the front sealing flap (15) is spring-loaded so that the front sealing flap (15) closes automatically when the dispensing valve (20) is pulled out of the filler neck (10); and the filler neck (10) is configured such that the indicator (18, 19, 22) indicates whether the front sealing flap (15) is open or closed. The invention further provides a suitably equipped motor vehicle.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Einfüllstutzen für einen Kraftstofftank. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft darüber hinaus ein entsprechend ausgerüstetes Kraftfahrzeug. The present invention relates to a filler neck for a fuel tank. The present invention also relates to a suitably equipped motor vehicle.
Bei Kraftstoffversorgungsanlagen sowie Kraftstoffbehältern von Kraftfahrzeugen muss die Betankungsöffnung, das sogenannte Einfüllrohr, nach erfolgter Betankung wieder verschlossen werden, um zu verhindern, dass Kraftstoff in die Umgebung gelangt. Bei herkömmlichen Kraftstoffbehältern geschieht dies über einen sogenannten Tankdeckel oder Tankverschluss, der auf das Einfüllrohr aufgedreht wird und dieses dicht verschließt. In fuel supply systems and fuel tanks of motor vehicles, the refueling opening, the so-called filler pipe, must be closed again after refueling in order to prevent fuel from getting into the environment. In conventional fuel tanks, this is done via a so-called gas cap or tank cap, which is turned on the filler pipe and this closes tightly.
In Fortbildung gattungsgemäßer Einfüllstutzen wurden deckellose (capless) Systeme entwickelt, welche mit federbelasteten Dichtklappen die Dichtheit des Kraftstoffbehälters sicherstellen. Bei diesen deckellosen Systemen werden bei der Betankung durch das Einführen des Zapfventils eine oder mehrere Dichtklappen aufgestoßen. In a further development of generic filler neck capless systems have been developed, which ensure the tightness of the fuel tank with spring-loaded sealing flaps. In these capless systems, one or more sealing flaps are pushed open during fueling by the introduction of the dispensing valve.
Falls das Zapfventil nicht weit genug in den Einfüllstutzen eingeschoben wird, öffnet sich bei derartigen Systemen die hintere Dichtklappe im Einfüllstutzen nicht, da das Zapfventil nicht weit genug in den Einfüllstutzen eingeschoben wurde. Falls nun ein Benutzer versucht zu tanken und das Zapfventil betätigt, trifft der Kraftstoff frontal auf die geschlossene Dichtklappe und spritzt durch die Einfüllrohr-Öffnung in die Umgebung oder die Betankung ist nicht oder nur erschwert möglich. Dabei kann der Benutzer auch mit Kraftstoff verunreinigt werden. If the dispensing valve is not inserted far enough into the filler neck, the rear sealing flap in the filler neck does not open in such systems because the dispensing valve has not been pushed far enough into the filler neck. If now a user tries to refuel and actuates the nozzle, the fuel hits the front of the closed sealing flap and injected through the filler pipe opening into the environment or refueling is not possible or only with difficulty. The user can also be contaminated with fuel.

Die Erfindung stellt einen Einfüllstutzen für einen Kraftstofftank und ein mit einem solchen Einfüllstutzen ausgestattetes Kraftfahrzeug gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen bereit. The invention provides a filler neck for a fuel tank and a motor vehicle equipped with such a filler neck according to the independent claims.
Ein Vorzug dieser Lösung liegt in ihrer Sicherheitsfunktion, die verhindert, dass beim Tanken der Einfüllstutzen nicht weit genug eingeschoben wird. Hierzu dient eine Anzeige am Einfüllstutzen, welche dem Benutzer anzeigt, ob das Zapfventil richtig, also weit genug, in den Einfüllstutzen eingeführt wurde, sodass die Dichtklappe vollständig geöffnet ist, um eine sichere Betankung zu gewährleisten. An advantage of this solution lies in its safety function, which prevents that when refueling the filler neck is not pushed far enough. This is indicated on the filler neck, which indicates to the user whether the dispensing valve has been inserted properly, ie far enough, into the filler neck, so that the sealing flap is fully open to ensure safe refueling.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben. So kann diese Anzeige über einen Hebelmechanismus durch die Klappe betätigt werden, sodass zum Beispiel in einem Fenster in der Nähe des Einfüllstutzens ein grüner Hintergrund zu sehen ist. Bei nicht weit genug eingestecktem Zapfventil wird durch den Hebelmechanismus die Platte mit rotem und grünem Hintergrund nicht weit genug am Fenster vorbeigeschoben und es ist ein roter Hintergrund im Fenster zu sehen. Alternativ wäre auch eine zweifarbige Walze denkbar, die über den Hebelmechanismus betätigt wird. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. Thus, this display can be actuated by a lever mechanism through the flap, so that, for example, in a window near the filler neck, a green background can be seen. If the dispensing valve is not inserted far enough, the lever mechanism will not move the plate with red and green background far enough past the window and a red background will be visible in the window. Alternatively, a two-color roller would be conceivable, which is actuated via the lever mechanism.
Des Weiteren ist eine LED-Anzeige denkbar, welche über einen Kontaktschalter, welcher mit der Dichtklappe verbunden ist, entweder eine grüne oder rote LED im Bereich des Einfüllstutzens leuchten lässt, sodass der Betankende darüber informiert wird, ob das Zapfventil richtig in das Einfüllrohr eingeführt wurde. Neu an diesem Lösungsansatz ist grundsätzlich die Tatsache, dass dem Betankenden angezeigt wird, ob das Zapfventil richtig in den Einfüllstutzen eingeführt wurde. Furthermore, an LED display is conceivable, which via a contact switch, which is connected to the sealing flap, either a green or red LED lights in the area of the filler neck, so that the refueling informed about whether the nozzle was properly inserted into the filler pipe , New to this approach is basically the fact that the refueling is indicated whether the nozzle was properly inserted into the filler neck.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben. An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.
