Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid supply nozzle for use in filling a container with a liquid and, more particularly, to an improvement in the nozzle in order to reduce a foaming on liquid level during the filling.
  • a liquid supply nozzle has widely been used in various industries, one of typical examples being found in a gas station where a tank in automobile is filled with a fuel by using the nozzle coupled to a liquid regulator which in turn is connected with a hose. When filling the fuel, the nozzle is inserted into a filler neck connected to the tank and ejects the fuel from its discharge opening.
  • Other examples are those nozzles used in filling liquid raw materials or products into a transporting container such as a tank rolly.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a liquid supply nozzle which has a simple structure and can be manufactured with low cost but yet may restrain a foaming on liquid level.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a liquid supply nozzle capable of restraining the foaming without reducing an effective volume of a container to be filled with the liquid.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a liquid supply nozzle which may efficiently fill the container with the liquid while restraining the foaming.
  • a liquid supply nozzle comprises a cylindrical body including a base end portion having an open end and a free end portion having a closed end, and a plurality of discharge openings formed in an upper area of the free end portion and through the wall of the nozzle body.
  • the liquid fed into the nozzle body from the base end portion is ejected via the discharge openings. Since the openings are formed in the upper area, i.e. the area which is positioned opposite to a liquid level, the ejection is directed upwardly and the liquid then drops onto the level due to a gravity. This significantly reduces a flow velocity when the liquid reaches the level, as compared with an ejection directly toward the level, whereby the foaming is restrained. Additionally, the plurality of discharge openings divide the liquid flow into plural streams when ejected, so that the foaming is further reduced due to a fact that each stream has a relatively small mass.
  • the nozzle body is curved in such a manner that the free end portion is positioned at a level below the base end portion when the latter is held in a horizontal plane.
  • Each discharge opening is in the form of a slot having a major axis which extends along the longitudinal axis of the nozzle body.
  • Three discharge openings are formed within an angular extent of about 120° in the upper area with the middle of those openings being located at the top section of the nozzle body.
  • a drain hole is provided in a lower area of the free end portion for draining a residual liquid that has not ejected from the discharge openings.
  • the nozzle includes a chamber provided within the nozzle body for generating a vortical flow of the liquid, that is fed into the nozzle body, to thereby separate gaseous contaminants from the liquid, and means for discharging the separated gaseous contaminants from the nozzle body.
  • a chamber provided within the nozzle body for generating a vortical flow of the liquid, that is fed into the nozzle body, to thereby separate gaseous contaminants from the liquid, and means for discharging the separated gaseous contaminants from the nozzle body.
  • the chamber may be defined by a cyclone having a cylindrical part closed at an upstream end thereof and a downstream conical part integral with the cylindrical part, the conical part being tapered toward a head thereof remote from the cylindrical part.
  • An inlet may be formed through the wall of cylindrical part to introduce the liquid into the chamber along a tangent of the cylindrical part at the inlet.
  • the discharge means may comprise a removal pipe in the nozzle body, which pipe has a proximal end extending in the chamber along an axial center thereof and a distal end opened toward the outside of the nozzle body.
  • the proximal end has formed through the wall thereof a plurality of orifices to permit the gaseous contaminants to flow into the removal pipe.
  • the distal end may project through the closed end of the nozzle body and be bent toward the upper area. Alternatively, the distal end may be received in the nozzle body and bent toward the upper area to terminate within one of the discharge openings.
  • the conical part of the cyclone may have a plurality of pores to permit the liquid to flow out of the chamber.
  • a partition may be provided to sealingly divide an annular space between the nozzle body and the cyclone into upstream and downstream sides. The inlet opens into the upstream side while the pores opens into the downstream side.
  • a liquid supply nozzle 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention comprises a cylindrical nozzle body 12 having a base end portion 14 and a free end portion 16.
  • the base end portion 14 is coupled to a liquid regulator (not shown) which in turn is connected with a hose (also not shown) through which a liquid is fed into the nozzle body 12 under a pressure, while the free end portion 16 terminates at a closed end 18.
  • the nozzle body 12 is formed to have a large radius of curvature so that when the base end portion 14 is held in a horizontal plane, the free end portion 16 takes a position at a level below the base end portion 14.
  • the nozzle 10 is to be used with such an attitude, and the terms relating to "upper” and “lower” used herein for indicating portions of nozzle body 12 should be construed as indicating those portions when the nozzle 10 is of the attitude in FIG. 1.
  • the nozzle body 12 has a circular cross section and is provided at the free end portion 16 with plural discharge openings 20 each formed through the wall of nozzle body, which opening 20 is in the shape of slot having a major axis extending along the longitudinal axis of nozzle body. It is essential in the invention that all of these openings 20 are provided in the upper area of the free end portion 16 of nozzle body. In the illustrated example, three openings 20 are formed at substantially equal intervals within an angular extent of about 120°. Also provided in the free end portion 16 but at the lower area thereof is a drain hole 22 which extends obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of nozzle body 12 through the closed end 18 and the wall of nozzle body with interconnected by an inside space thereof.
  • the base end portion 14 is coupled to a liquid regulator connected with a hose and the free end portion 16 is inserted into a container (also not shown) to be filled with a liquid, such as a gasoline tank of an automobile.
  • a liquid such as a gasoline tank of an automobile.
  • the liquid is fed under a pressure through the hose and the liquid regulator to the nozzle 10, it flows within the nozzle body 12 and is ejected via the three openings 20 at the free end portion 16. Since the openings 20 are formed in the upper area, the liquid is ejected upwardly from the openings, i.e. in the direction opposite to a liquid level L in the container, and then drops onto the level L due to a gravity.
  • a velocity of the liquid when it reaches the level L becomes much smaller as compared with a case where the liquid is ejected directly toward the level L.
  • the liquid flow is divided into three streams by the three openings 20 when discharged, so that each stream has a relatively small mass and therefore a small kinetic energy.
  • the nozzle body 12 is illustrated as having the circular cross section, but it may be in the form of sleeve having any cross section.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a liquid supply nozzle according to a second embodiment of the invention, the nozzle 30 comprising a cylindrical nozzle body 32 which is substantially identical with the nozzle body 12 in the first embodiment except that it has a diametrically enlarged section 33 adjacent a base end portion 34.
  • a chamber 44 for generating a vortical flow of the liquid that enters the nozzle body 32 from the base end 34.
  • the chamber 44 is confined by a cyclone 46 comprising a cylindrical part 48 which is closed at one end facing the base end portion 34 and a conical part 50 which is integrally formed with the cylindrical part 48 and tapered toward a head remote from the cylindrical part.
  • a plurality of inlets 52 are formed through the side wall 49 of cylindrical part 48 in order to introduce the liquid into the chamber 44.
  • Each inlet 52 is provided by punch-pressing the side wall 49 so that a part of the wall adjacent the inlet forms a deflector 54 extending substantially parallel to a tangent of the side wall 49 at a point of the inlet.
  • Reference numeral 56 denotes a removal pipe of which closed end is located within the chamber 44.
  • the removal pipe 56 is fixedly secured to the cyclone 46 at the tapered head thereof and extends in the nozzle body 32 along its longitudinal axis.
  • a distal end 58 of the pipe 56 projects through a closed end 38 of nozzle body 32 and is so bent as to open upwardly, i.e. toward the side of free end portion 36 where discharge openings 40 are formed.
  • a suitable seal is provided between the pipe 56 and the closed end 38 to avoid any leakage therefrom.
  • the proximal end 57 of the pipe 56 in the chamber 44 is perforated to have a number of orifices 60, while the wall of conical part 50 has a lot of pores 62 which communicates the chamber 44 with an annular space 64 defined between the cyclone 46 and nozzle body 32.
  • This space 64 is divided into an upstream side and a downstream side by a ring-shaped partition 66 that is fixed at one end to the inner surface of nozzle body 32 and at the other end to the cyclone 46 at between the cylindrical and conical parts.
  • the partition 66 thus serves to support the cyclone 46 while preventing the liquid from bypassing the chamber 44.
  • the liquid fed to the nozzle 30 via the liquid regulator coupled to the base end 34 is introduced into the chamber 44 through the inlets 52 which cooperates with the deflectors 54 to generate a vortical flow of the liquid.
  • This vortical flow is intensified by the conical part 50 to create a centrifugal force which acts on the liquid, resulting in a separation of gaseous contaminants contained in the liquid due to a difference in density.
  • the thus separated gaseous contaminants gather around the axis of the chamber 44 and flow into the removal pipe 56 via the orifices 60 for discharge from the upwardly directed opening of distal end 58.
  • the remaining liquid which contains little gaseous contaminants, flows along the wall of conical part 50 and passes through the pores 62 into the downstream side of space 64.
  • the liquid is finally ejected from the openings 40 in the free end portion 36 as in the first embodiment but with a significantly reduced volume of gaseous contaminants. Therefore, the foaming at the liquid level is further restrained. As in the above embodiment, residual liquid is drained via a hole 42.
  • a liquid supply nozzle 70 is different from that of the second embodiment in that a distal end 74 of removal pipe 72 is arranged within the nozzle body 32.
  • the distal end 74 is bent substantially at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of nozzle body 32 and its open end 76 is received in one of the discharge openings 40, i.e. in the middle opening in the illustrated example.
  • the open end 76 is located within the length of the discharge opening 40, the length being defined by the thickness of the wall of nozzle body 32.
  • the liquid supply nozzle according to the present invention enables to reduce a mechanical energy of the liquid by lowering both of the velocity and mass thereof when it reaches the liquid level, thus preventing or at least significantly reducing the foaming on the liquid level. It is important that such an effect can be achieved by the simple arrangement of the discharge openings. By providing the vortical flow generating chamber within the nozzle body, this advantageous effect is further enhanced as the gaseous contaminants which may be contained in the liquid are removed before the liquid is discharged from the openings.
