Description
Doppelwandiger Kraftstof=behälter Double-walled fuel tank
Die Erfindung betrifft einen doppelwanditen Kraftstoffbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Ein bekannter Kraftstoffbehälter dieser Art (DE-GM 70 02 590) weist einen Innenbehälter aus Blech sowie einen zum Stoßschutz relativ dickwandigen äußeren Kunststoffbehälter auf, der den Innenbehälter unter Bildung örtlicher Zwischenräume umgibt. Gegebenenfalls wird dabei Wert auf die Abdichtung des äußeren Behälters und auf die Verwendung gegen Kraftstoff beständiger Materialien für diesen gelegt.The invention relates to a double-walled fuel tank according to the preamble of claim 1. A known fuel tank of this type (DE-GM 70 02 590) has an inner container made of sheet metal and an impact protection relatively thick-walled outer plastic container on which the inner container underneath Surrounds formation of local gaps. If necessary, emphasis is placed on the seal the outer container and the use of fuel-resistant materials laid for this.
Während bei diesem Stand der Technik der äußere Behälter zum Schutz des inneren Behälters gegen mechanische Beanspruchungen dient und demgemäß auch als Schutzmantel bezeichnet wird, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen doppelwandigen Kraftstoffbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 so auszubilden, daß die Diffusion von Kraftstoffdämpfen durch die Wände des Behälters in die Umwelt verringert wird. Bekanntlich stellt sich das Problem der Kraftstoffpermeabilität bei Kraftstoffbehältern insbesondere dann, wenn man aus Gründen der leichten Herstellung komplizierter Behälterformen und der Verformbarkeit der Kraftstoffbehälter für diese Kunststoffe verwendet. Zur Erzielung einer geringen Permeabilitätsrate müssen die Kunststoff-Kraftstoff-Behälter nach ihrer Formgebung mit großem apparativen Aufwand einer chemischen Oberflächenbehandlung unterzogen werden.While in this prior art the outer container for protection of the inner container serves against mechanical stresses and accordingly also is referred to as a protective jacket, the invention is based on the object of a double-walled fuel tank with the features of the preamble of claim 1 to train so that the diffusion of fuel vapors through the walls of the container in the environment is reduced. As is well known, the problem of fuel permeability arises in the case of fuel tanks, especially if one for reasons of ease of manufacture complicated container shapes and the deformability of the fuel tank for them Plastics used. To achieve a low permeability rate, the Plastic fuel containers according to their shaping with great expenditure on equipment be subjected to a chemical surface treatment.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung der definierten Aufgabe besteht in den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1, vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung beschreiben die Unteransprüche.The inventive solution to the defined object consists in the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Grundsätzlich ist es seit langem bekannt - siehe nur die US-PS 3 001 519-, zwecks Vermeidung des Austritts von Kraftstoffdämpfen in die Umgebung das freie Volumen oberhalb des Kraftstoffspiegels im Kraftstoffbehälter über Entgasungs- bzw. Entlüftungsleitungen, in die Aktivkohlefilter eingeschaltet sind, beispielsweise mit dem Luftansaugsystem der Brennkraftmaschine zu verbinden, so daß die im Kraftstoffbehälter oberhalb des Kraftstoffspiegels stets vorhandenen Kraftstoffdämpfe nicht ins Freie entweichen. Bei der Erfindung geht es demgegenüber nicht um eine derartige gezielte Entgasung oder Entlüftung eines kraftstofffreien Volumens innerhalb des Kraftstoffbehälters, sondern um das Auffangen und Ableiten von Kraftstoffdämpfen, die bei einwandiger Ausführung des Kraftstoffbehälters nach Diffusion durch seine Wände unmittelbar in die Umgebung gelangen würden. Auch bei der beschriebenen bekannten doppelwandigen Ausführung von Kraftstoffbehältern würde eine derartige unerwünschte Umweltbelastung eintreten, da die in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Innen- und Außenwänden des Kraftstoffbehälters gelangenden Kraftstoffdämpfe verständlicherweise nach einiger Zeit auch die Außenwände durchdringen und so ins Freie gelangen würden. Basically it has been known for a long time - see only US Pat. No. 3,001,519-, in order to avoid the escape of fuel vapors into the environment, the free volume above the fuel level in the fuel tank via degassing or ventilation lines into which activated carbon filters are switched on, for example with to connect the air intake system of the internal combustion engine, so that the fuel vapors that are always present in the fuel tank above the fuel level do not escape into the open. In contrast, the invention is not concerned with such targeted degassing or venting of a fuel-free volume within the fuel tank, but with the capture and discharge of fuel vapors which, if the fuel tank were constructed with a single wall, would pass directly into the environment after diffusion through its walls. Such undesirable environmental pollution would also occur with the known double-walled design of fuel tanks described, since the fuel vapors entering the space between the inner and outer walls of the fuel tank would understandably after some time also penetrate the outer walls and thus get out into the open.
Die Erfindung macht es möglich, diejenigen Kraftstoffdämpfe, die nach Durchsetzen der Innenwände in den Zwischenraum zwischen diesen und der äußeren Hülle gelangt sind, über die Entgasungsleitung abzuführen bzw. abzusaugen, ehe sie auch durch die äußere Hülle diffundiert sind.The invention makes it possible for those fuel vapors after Penetration of the inner walls into the space between them and the outer shell have reached, to be discharged or sucked off via the degassing line before they also diffused through the outer shell.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, die einen Querschnitt durch einen Kraftstoffbehälter für die Antriebsmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeugs wiedergibt.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the Drawing explained showing a cross section through a fuel tank for the Reproduces the engine of a motor vehicle.
Der allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete doppelwandige Kraftstoffbehälter besteht aus dem Innenbehälter 2, der aus einem an sich bekannten möglichst kraftstoffundurchlässigen Kunststoff gefertigt i:,t, und der äußeren Folienhülle 3, die aus einem ebenfalls für Kraftstoffdämpfe undurchlässigen Kunststoff, beispielsweise POM, hergestellt ist. Hülle 3 stellt einen nach Aufnahme des inneren Behälters 2 durch Schweißen geschlossenen Folienbeutel dar, der mit dem Fortsatz 4 den Einfüllstutzen 5 und mit Fortsätzen 6 und 7 Entgasungsleitungen 8 für das innere Behältervolumen und 9 für den Zwischenraum 10 zwischen Innenbehälter 2 und äußerer Hülle 3 dichtend über einen Teil ihrer Länge umgibt. Entsprechendes gilt für Fortsätze 11 und 12 an der Ein- bzw. Austrittsstelle von Kraftstoffvor- und -rücklaufleitungen 13 und 14, die zu einer im Innenbehälter 2 angeordneten Kraftstoffpumpe führen.The double-walled fuel tank, generally designated 1, consists from the inner container 2, which is made from a known per se which is as fuel-impermeable as possible Plastic manufactured i:, t, and the outer film envelope 3, which is also made of a plastic impermeable to fuel vapors, for example POM is. Sheath 3 constitutes one after receiving the inner container 2 by welding closed Foil bag represents the filler neck with the extension 4 5 and with extensions 6 and 7 degassing lines 8 for the inner container volume and 9 for the space 10 between the inner container 2 and the outer shell 3 in a sealing manner surrounds over part of its length. The same applies to extensions 11 and 12 at the entry and exit points of fuel supply and return lines 13 and 14, which lead to a fuel pump arranged in the inner container 2.
Bei Bedarf kann die äußere Hülle 3 bereichsweise durch eine Schale 15 formbeständig gemacht bzw. örtlich verstärkt sein.If necessary, the outer shell 3 can be partially covered by a shell 15 be made dimensionally stable or locally reinforced.
Die in den Zwischenraum 10 diffundierten Kraftstoffdämpfe werden über die Entgasungsleitung 9, die in die oberhalb des Kraftstoffspiegels in den Innenbehälter 2 einmündende Entlüftungsleitung 8 einläuft, und dac Aktivkohlefilter 16 abgesaugt, das zu seiner Reinigung mit dem Luftansaugsystem der Brennkraftmaschine in an sich bekannter Weise verbunden werden kann.The fuel vapors diffused into the space 10 are over the degassing line 9, which is in the above the fuel level in the inner container 2 discharging vent line 8 runs in, and dac activated carbon filter 16 is sucked off, that to its cleaning with the air intake system of the internal combustion engine in itself can be connected in a known manner.
