Abstract

The tank flap(8) is movable from the closed position into an open position(19) freeing the wall opening(7), and back again. A ball cock serves as the valve(4) connected to the tank flap via a mechanical linkage(12). The tank flap in the open position is located at least partially opposite an inner face(10) of a wall(11) formed by the body(5) of the vehicle. The ball(25) of the ball cock is rotatable in the upper end of the filler neck(2) and is provided with a through-passage(21).

Aus der DE 43 40 418 C1 ist es bereits bekannt, an einem oberen Ende eines Tankeinfüllstutzens ein Ventil zum Verschließen des Tankeinfüllstutzens anzuordnen, wobei die Ansteuerung zum Öffnen und Schließen des Ventils durch das Öffnen und Schließen einer Tankklappe erfolgt.From DE 43 40 418 C1 it is already known to have an upper end Tank filler neck a valve for closing the tank filler neck to arrange, the control for opening and closing the valve by the opening and closing of a tank flap takes place.

Aus der DE 44 40 814 A1 ist bereits eine verschiebbare Tankklappe eines Kraftfahr­ zeuges bekannt, die in einer Schließstellung eine in einer Karosserie des Kraftfahr­ zeuges ausgebildete Wandöffnung verschließt und die in einer Offenstellung den Zugang zu einem Einfüllstutzen freigibt.DE 44 40 814 A1 already discloses a movable fuel filler flap for a motor vehicle Stuff known that in a closed position in a body of the motor vehicle closes trained wall opening and the in an open position Gives access to a filler neck.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Verschlußeinrichtung für einen Kraftstoffbehälter eines Kraftfahrzeuges zu schaffen, die einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist.The object of the invention is a closure device for a fuel tank to create a motor vehicle that has a simple structure.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verschlußeinrichtung für einen Kraftstoffbehälter eines Kraftfahrzeuges ist eine komfortable Betankung möglich, da durch die erfindungsgemäße Verschlußeinrichtung das Aufschrauben und Zuschrauben eines einen Einfüllstutzen verschließenden Tankdeckels wegfällt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung eines Kugelhahns als Ventileinrichtung wird eine ausreichende Langzeit-Dichtigkeit im Hinblick auf Kraftstoffdampf-Emissionen erreicht. By the closure device according to the invention for a fuel tank a motor vehicle, a comfortable refueling is possible because of the Closure device according to the invention the screwing and screwing a a filler cap closing the filler cap is eliminated. Through the Use of a ball valve according to the invention as a valve device is a sufficient long-term tightness with regard to fuel vapor emissions reached.  

Die mechanische Verbindung der Tankklappe und des Tankeinfüllstutzens ist so ausgeführt, daß im Falle einer ungewollten Krafteinleitung, beispielsweise durch einen Seitenaufprall, eine Trennung dieser mechanischen Verbindung erfolgt. Die Trennung kann durch eine entsprechend ausgebildete Sollbruchstelle und/oder Ausknüpfung erreicht werden. Durch diese Maßnahme wird vorteilhafterweise sichergestellt, daß der Tankeinfüllstutzen bei einer entsprechenden Krafteinleitung trotz Verformung der Tankklappe dicht bleibt.The mechanical connection of the tank flap and the filler neck is like this executed that in the event of an unwanted application of force, for example by a side impact, this mechanical connection is separated. The Separation can be achieved by a suitably designed breaking point and / or Linkage can be achieved. This measure is advantageous ensured that the tank filler neck with appropriate force transmission remains tight despite deformation of the fuel filler flap.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnungen beispielshalber beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings described as an example. Show:

Fig. 1 eine Prinzipdarstellung eines oberen Endes eines Einfüllstutzens, dessen Durchtrittsöffnung durch ein Ventil verschlossen ist und Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of an upper end of a filler neck, the passage opening is closed by a valve and

Fig. 2 das in der Fig. 1 gezeigte obere Ende des Einfüllstutzens, wobei sich das Ventil in der geöffneten Stellung befindet. Fig. 2 shows the upper end of the filler neck shown in Fig. 1, wherein the valve is in the open position.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein oberes Ende 1 eines Einfüllstutzens 2 für einen nicht dargestell­ ten Kraftstoffbehälter eines Kraftfahrzeuges 6. Das obere Ende 1 des Einfüllstutzens 2 weist eine Öffnung 3 auf, in der eine Ventileinrichtung 4 angeordnet ist. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Ventileinrichtung 4 ein Kugelhahn. Die Öffnung 3 des Einfüllstutzens 2 ist gegenüber einer in einer Karosserie 5 des Kraftfahrzeuges 6 ausgebildeten Wandöffnung 7 angeordnet, wie dies insbesondere aus der Fig. 2 hervorgeht. Die Wandöffnung 7 ist durch eine Tankklappe 8 verschließbar. Fig. 1 shows an upper end 1 of a filler neck 2 for a fuel tank, not shown, of a motor vehicle 6 .
