Description

Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen des Brennstoffstandes im Brennstoffbehälter bei Kraftfahrzeugen und Flugzeugen. Es ist bekannt, die Flüssigkeitshöhe im Innern eines Gefäßes durch Messung desjenigen Luftdruckes zu bestimmen, welcher zum Austreiben der Flüssigkeit aus einem bis zum Grunde reichenden Rohre bis zu einer bestimmten Höhe erforderlich ist.Device for displaying the fuel level in the fuel container in motor vehicles and airplanes. It is known the level of the liquid inside to determine a vessel by measuring the air pressure required to expel it the liquid from a pipe reaching to the bottom up to a certain one Height is required.

Hierbei entsteht die Möglichkeit, einen wechselnden Flüssigkeitsbestand in dem Gefäß in beliebiger Entfernung und Höhenlage anzuzeigen. Solche Vorrichtungen sind jedoch nicht ganz frei von Ungenauigkeiten im Anzeigen des Flüssigkeitsstandes, die dadurch entstehen können, daß der Luftdruck auf den Flüssigkeitsspiegel und' auf das Manometer gleichzeitig wirkt.This creates the possibility of a changing fluid level display in the vessel at any distance and altitude. Such devices However, they are not entirely free from inaccuracies in the display of the liquid level, which can arise because the air pressure on the liquid level and ' acts on the pressure gauge at the same time.

Um diese Ungenauigkeiten im Anzeigen des Flüssgkeitsstandes zu beseitigen, wird nach der Erfindung an den Behälter ein vom Manometer und von der Druckpumpe unabhängiges besonderes Schauglas angeschlossen, dessen Höhenmaß dem höchsten Stand des Brennstoffes im Brennstoffbehälter entspricht. Eine solche Einrichtung zeigt ohne Fehler den jeweiligen Brennstoffstand im Behälter an.To eliminate these inaccuracies in the display of the liquid level, According to the invention, a pressure gauge and pressure pump are attached to the container Independent special sight glass connected, the height of which corresponds to the highest level of the fuel in the fuel tank. Such a facility shows shows the respective fuel level in the container without error.

Auf der Zeichnung ist schematisch ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. An den Brennstoffbehälter a ist durch die Leitung b dass höher gelegene Schauglas c angeschlossen, dessen Höhenmaß dem des höchsten Brennstoffstandes im Behälter a entpricht. Außerdem schließt an den Behälter durch die Leitung d die Pumpe e an, während ein Flüssigkeitsmanometer g durch eine weitere Leitung f mit der Pumpe bzw. mit dem Behälter in Verbindung steht.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing. Connected to the fuel container a through the line b is the higher-lying sight glass c, the height of which corresponds to that of the highest fuel level in the container a. In addition, the pump e connects to the container through line d , while a liquid manometer g is connected to the pump or to the container through a further line f.

Im Brennstoffbehälter wird bei der Kontrolle des Brennstoffstandes v durch die Pumpe stets ein gleich hoher Druck erzeugt. Dadurch wird der Brennstoff auch stets um das Maß x in der Leitung b und dem Schauglas c angehoben. Infolgedessen entspricht jeweils der Brennstoffstand y im Schauglas dem Brennstoffstand y im Behälter.The fuel level is checked in the fuel tank v the pump always generates an equally high pressure. This gets the fuel also always raised by the dimension x in the line b and the sight glass c. Consequently the fuel level y in the sight glass corresponds to the fuel level y in the container.

Das Schauglas kann bei Kraftfahrzeugen ebenso wie die bekannten Brennstoffuhren an der Spritzwand oder an einer sonst geeigneten leicht zu beobachtenden Stelle des Fahrzeugs angebracht werden.The sight glass can be used in motor vehicles just like the known fuel clocks on the bulkhead or at another suitable easily observable point of the vehicle.
