In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Es zeigen:In the drawing is an embodiment of the invention shown. Show it:
Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt eines selbstschließenden Kraftstoffbehälterverschlusses, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a self-closing fuel tank seal,
Fig. 2 eine Vorderansicht der in den Verschlußkopf ein setzbaren Verriegelungsvorrichtung. Fig. 2 is a front view of a lockable locking device in the closure head.
In Fig. 1 ist ein auf einen strichpunktiert angedeuteten, rohrförmigen Einfüllstutzen 10 eines Kraftstoffbehälters auf gesetzter, selbstschließender Kraftstoffbehälterverschluß als Ganzes mit 12 bezeichnet. In FIG. 1, a tubular filler neck 10 of a fuel tank, indicated by a dot-dash line, on a self-closing fuel tank closure is designated as a whole by 12 .
Der Einfüllstutzen 10 ist am freien Ende nach innen umgestülpt, wobei das eingestülpte Stutzenrandstück 10′ im Innern des Kraftstoffeinfüllstutzens in bekannter Weise axiale Rampen bildet, auf die üblicherweise die Riegelnasen eines Tankdeckels zum abgedichteten Verspannen desselben auf dem offenen Stutzenende auflaufen.The filler neck 10 is turned inside out at the free end, the turned-in nozzle edge piece 10 'forms in the interior of the fuel filler neck in a known manner axial ramps on which usually the locking lugs of a tank cap for sealingly bracing the same on the open nozzle end.
Das eingestülpte Stutzenrandstück 10′ dient in der gleichen Weise zur Halterung des selbstschließenden Kraftstoffbehälter verschlusses 12. Dieser weist einen Verschlußkopf 14 auf, der mit einem zylindrischen Ansatz 16 in die durch das eingestülpte Stutzenrandstück 10′ definierte Stutzenöffnung 18 eingreift und am Stutzenrandstück 10′ in geeigneter Weise abgestützt ist. Dabei liegt der Verschlußkopf 14 mit einer Ringdichtung 19 auf dem Einfüllstutzen 10 an.The turned-in nozzle edge piece 10 'serves in the same way for holding the self-closing fuel tank closure 12th This has a closure head 14 which is 'engages defined nozzle opening 18 and the neck edge portion 10' having a cylindrical projection 16 in the invaginated by the neck edge portion 10 supported in a suitable manner. The closure head 14 rests with an annular seal 19 on the filler neck 10 .
Die Stirnwand 20 des zylindrischen Ansatzes 16 weist eine zen trale Füllöffnung 22 auf, die durch einen Ventilkörper, bei spielsweise in Form einer Verschlußklappe 24, selbsttätig ge schlossen gehalten wird.The end wall 20 of the cylindrical projection 16 has a central filling opening 22 , which is kept closed automatically by a valve body, for example in the form of a closure flap 24 .
Die Verschlußklappe 24 ist zu diesem Zweck um eine an der Au ßenseite der Stirnwand 20 des Ansatzes 16 vorgesehene Schwenk achse 26 gegen die Wirkung einer Schließfeder 28 in ihre Of fenstellung verschwenkbar.The closure flap 24 is to that end about an axis at the Au ßenseite the end wall 20 of the lug 16 provided for pivot 26 against the action of a closing spring 28 in its Of fenstellung pivotable.
Zwecks eines dichten Verschlusses der Füllöffnung 22 bildet diese einen Dichtsitz, an den sich in der Schließstellung der Verschlußklappe 24 eine an dieser angeordnete Ringdichtung 30 anlegt.For the purpose of a tight closure of the filling opening 22 , this forms a sealing seat, against which, in the closed position of the closure flap 24, an annular seal 30 is placed.
Innerhalb des Verschlußkopfes 14 ist eine in Einsteckrichtung eines strichpunktiert angedeuteten Zapfpistolenrohres 32 der Verschlußklappe 24 vorgelagerte, als Ganzes mit 34 bezeichnete Verriegelungsvorrichtung vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die Ver schlußklappe 24 in ihrer Schließstellung selbsttätig verrie gelbar ist.Within the closure head 14 is a in the direction of a dash-dot nozzle 32 of the shutter 24 upstream, designated as a whole with 34 locking device is provided, with the help of the closure flap 24 in its closed position is automatically lockable.
Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 34 weist beispielsweise drei, in gleichem Winkelabstand voneinander angeordnete Verriegelungs glieder 36, 38 und 40 auf (s. Fig. 2), die durch Flachfedern 42 gebildet sind, die sich in Richtung auf die zentrale Füllöff nung 22 des Verschlußkopfes 14 schräg nach innen erstrecken.The locking device 34 has, for example, three, equally spaced locking members 36 , 38 and 40 (see FIG. 2), which are formed by flat springs 42 , the opening in the direction of the central Füllöff 22 of the closure head 14 obliquely extend inside.
Die Flachfedern 42 sind mit ihrem einen Endstück vorzugsweise am Innenumfang eines einen Spreizring bildenden Tragringes 44 befestigt, der in eine innere, zur Füllöffnung 22 konzentrische Aufnahmenut 46 des Verschlußkopfes eingesprengt ist.The flat springs 42 are preferably attached with their one end piece to the inner circumference of a support ring 44 forming an expansion ring, which is blown into an inner receiving groove 46 of the closure head which is concentric with the filling opening 22 .
Das freie Endstück der Flachfedern 42 ist V-förmig gebogen, wobei die V-Spitze 48 in Richtung auf die Längsachse 50 des Verschlußkopfes 14 zeigt.The free end piece of the flat springs 42 is bent in a V-shape, the V-tip 48 pointing in the direction of the longitudinal axis 50 of the closure head 14 .
Das Endstück des der Verschlußklappe 24 benachbarten V- Schenkels 52 bildet einen durch Umbiegen nach außen gebildeten Haken 54, der in der Schließstellung der Verschlußklappe 24 deren sich innerhalb des Verschlußkopfes 14 befindendes Klap penendstück 24′ über- und in eine äußere Umfangsnut 56 dessel ben eingreift.The end piece of the closure flap 24 adjacent V-leg 52 forms a hook 54 formed by bending outwards, which in the closed position of the closure flap 24 is located inside the closure head 14 and clap pen end piece 24 'above and engages ben in an outer circumferential groove 56 thereof .
In der gezeigten Eingriffstellung liegen die V-Spitzen 48 auf einem in Fig. 2 strichpunktiert angedeuteten Kreis 57, dessen Durchmesser wesentlich kleiner ist als der Außendurchmesser des in den Verschlußkopf 14 bzw. dessen Füllöffnung 22 einzufüh renden Zapfpistolenrohres 32, das gleichfalls durch einen in Fig. 2 strichpunktiert angedeuteten Kreis kenntlich gemacht ist. In the shown engagement position, the V-tips 48 are located on a in Fig. 2 indicated in chained lines circle 57 whose diameter is substantially smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt head 14 and the filling opening 22 einzufüh leaders fuel nozzle tube 32, also by a in Fig . 2 dot-dash lines circle is indicated.
Infolgedessen gleiten im Verlaufe des Einführens des Zapfpi stolenrohres 32 in den Verschlußkopf 14, bevor dessen Rohrvor derende auf die Verschlußklappe 24 auftrifft, die V-förmigen Flachfederendstücke auf dessen Rohrmantel auf, wodurch die Flachfedern 42 nach außen gedrückt werden und dabei deren Haken 54 mit der Verschlußklappe 24 außer Eingriff kommt.As a result, in the course of the insertion of the Zapfpi stolenrohres 32 into the closure head 14 , before the end of the tube strikes the closure flap 24 , the V-shaped flat spring end pieces on its tubular casing, whereby the flat springs 42 are pressed outwards and their hooks 54 with the Closure flap 24 comes out of engagement.
Trifft im weiteren Verlauf des Einführens das Rohr 32 der Zapfpistole dann auf die Verschlußklappe 24 auf, gibt diese die Füllöffnung 22 frei, wobei das Zapfpistolenrohr 32 in diese weiter hineingeschoben werden kann.If, during the further course of the insertion, the pipe 32 of the nozzle then hits the closure flap 24 , this opens the filling opening 22 , the nozzle pipe 32 being able to be pushed further into the latter.
Bei Herausziehen des Zapfpistolenrohres 32 wird die Verschluß klappe 24 ihre gezeigte Schließstellung einnehmen, bevor die V-förmigen Endstücke der Flachfedern 42 vom Zapfpistolenrohr 32 abgleiten. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß der Haken 54 jedes Flachfederendstückes beim Abgleiten mit der Umfangsnut 56 der Verschlußklappe 24 sicher in Eingriff kommt, so daß letztere in ihrer Schließstellung wieder zuverlässig verriegelt ist.When pulling out the nozzle pipe 32 , the closure flap 24 will assume its closed position shown before the V-shaped end pieces of the flat springs 42 slide off the nozzle pipe 32 . This ensures that the hook 54 of each flat spring end piece securely engages with the circumferential groove 56 of the closure flap 24 , so that the latter is reliably locked again in its closed position.
Verriegelungsglieder 36, 38 und 40 und Verschlußklappe 24 sind dabei konstruktiv derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Schließkraft zu einem überwiegenden Teil von den Verriege lungsgliedern 36, 38 und 40 erzeugt wird.Locking members 36 , 38 and 40 and closure flap 24 are structurally matched to one another in such a way that the closing force is mainly generated by the locking members 36 , 38 and 40 .
Zu diesem Zweck nimmt die der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 34 zu gekehrte Nutwand 62 der Verschlußklappenumfangsnut 56 eine solche Schräglage ein, daß unter der Wirkung der die Flachfe dern 42 nach innen zurückstellenden Federrückstellkräfte die Verschlußklappe 24 zugleich ständig gegen ihren Dichtsitz ge zogen wird. Die Umfangsnut 56 weist deshalb vorzugsweise einen V-förmigen Querschnitt auf. For this purpose, the locking device 34 facing the groove wall 62 of the flap circumferential groove 56 assumes such an inclined position that, under the action of the flat springs 42 resetting inward spring restoring forces, the flap 24 is simultaneously continuously pulled against its sealing seat. The circumferential groove 56 therefore preferably has a V-shaped cross section.
Damit genügt es, die Schließfeder 28 relativ weich auszulegen, so daß sich die Verschlußklappe 24 ohne großen Kraftaufwand in ihre Offenstellung schwenken läßt.It is therefore sufficient to design the closing spring 28 to be relatively soft, so that the closure flap 24 can be pivoted into its open position without great effort.
60 bezeichnet ein in den Verschlußkopf 14 integriertes Stütz blech zur Abstützung der in diesen eingesteckten Zapfpistole. 60 denotes a support plate integrated in the breech head 14 for supporting the fuel nozzle inserted in the latter.
Für den Notfall sorgt ein in die Verschlußklappe 24 eingebautes Überdruckventil 64 für einen schnellen Druckabbau im Kraft stoffbehälter.In an emergency, a pressure relief valve 64 built into the closure flap 24 ensures rapid pressure reduction in the fuel tank.
