Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for delivering fuels to vehicles with a housing and at least one nozzle provided with a nozzle, which runs in the starting position with the nozzle suspended in the housing between the nozzle and the attachment of its hose start in the housing in at least one loop and for the refueling process after removing the nozzle with most of its length can be pulled out of the housing.
  • EP-B-0 396 089 shows a dispensing device in which the dispensing hose is guided over a roller which is pulled upwards by a weight in the rest position. If the dispensing hose is pulled out of the housing to refuel a vehicle, the roller moves downward against the force of the weight.
  • Another delivery device is known from DE-U-87 08 333, in which the dispensing hose is guided in the interior of the housing via a fixed roller arranged below the housing hood and forms a loop between this guide and its fixed end. In this loop rests a roller that can be moved vertically via lever arms and, due to its weight, also generates the retraction force for the dispensing hose.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a device of the type described in such a way that the dispensing hose can be pulled out of the housing by the user without exerting force and yet it is ensured that the dispensing hose is automatically retracted into the housing once the filling process has ended.
  • the solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the loop of the dispensing hose is guided over a rod which is arranged in a vertically movable manner in the housing and for returning the end position by means of a switchable drive between an end position which releases the loop for pulling out and an end position which forms the loop the dispensing hose pulled out can be returned to the end position by the drive after the dispensing valve has been hooked in.
  • the user can pull the nozzle out of the housing without any effort.
  • the drive can be switched on either when the nozzle is removed or after the hose has been pulled in to bring the rod into the end position in which the hose can be pulled out of the housing. After completion of the refueling process, the user simply hangs the nozzle back into the housing without an unpleasant tensile force acting on the hose in order to pull it back into the housing. Instead, in the device designed according to the invention, the drive is switched on when the dispensing valve is hung in order to automatically pull the dispensing hose back into the housing through the rod.
  • the rod is at least one flexible tension element between its lower starting position and an upper end position, which is driven by a motor.
  • Ropes or chains in particular are used as tension elements.
  • the flexible tension element is designed as an endless chain which is guided over two chain wheels. This embodiment is characterized in that it is structurally particularly simple to carry out.
  • the rod for receiving the loop of the dispensing hose is fastened to the endless chain in this embodiment and is moved up or down with the chain when the motor is switched on.
  • the flexible tension element is designed as a rope attached to the rod, which is guided over a deflection roller and can be wound onto a rope drum.
  • a plurality of dispensing hoses can advantageously also be arranged in one housing.
  • the loops of all fueling hoses are guided over a common rod.
  • the design effort is minimized to an absolutely necessary extent. If only one rod is used for several dispensing hoses, it is advantageous if the rod is connected to the drive by several flexible tension elements, since in this way a more even distribution of force from the drive to the rod is possible.
  • the invention further proposes to arrange freely rotatable rollers on the rod over which the dispensing hose is guided.
  • a plurality of dispensing valves it is furthermore possible for a plurality of dispensing valves to be arranged on opposite sides of the housing.
  • a separate rod with its own drive is provided for the loops of the dispensing hoses on each side.
  • the use of separate rods and drives for each side has the advantage, on the one hand, that the motor power only has to be designed to drive one rod and, on the other hand, nozzle valves can be unhooked and / or hung on both sides of the housing without affecting one another.
  • each dispensing hose can be guided to form a second loop via a hose deflection roller which is mounted in a stationary manner in the housing.
  • a hose deflection roller which is mounted in a stationary manner in the housing.
  • this second loop it is possible to double the hose length. Since this hose deflection roller is arranged in a stationary manner in the housing, it is possible for the hose deflection rollers of all the dispensing hoses to be mounted on a common fixed axis in the housing, even if several dispensing hoses are arranged on one and / or on opposite sides of the housing.
  • the invention further proposes that the return process of the dispensing hose or hoses is monitored by a switch which determines the return of the rod to the starting position. This switch ensures that the drive is switched off as soon as the rod has returned to its starting position.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 consists of a dispenser 1 with a housing 2, in which, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, on two opposite sides of the housing 2 five taps are arranged.
  • the dispensing points shown in FIG. 1 only on one side of the housing 2 each consist of a hose deflection roller 3 and a dispensing hose 5 provided with a dispensing valve 4, which is arranged in the housing 2 with the formation of two loops 6a and 6b.
  • each dispensing hose 5 With its end lying in the housing 2, each dispensing hose 5 is connected to a fuel tank via a connecting piece 7 arranged in the housing 2 by a line system (not shown), while the end provided with the dispensing valve 4 lies outside the housing 2.
  • the nozzle valves 4 In the rest position, the nozzle valves 4 are located in a nozzle valve receptacle 8, as shown in FIG. 3 on the right side.
  • the hose deflection rollers 3, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 are freely rotatable on a common fixed axis 9 in the housing 2.
  • each dispensing hose is guided over a rod 10 which is connected to a drive 12 by means of two flexible tension elements 11.
  • freely rotatable rollers 13 are arranged on the rod 10.
  • the pulling element 11 shown in FIG. 1 is a rope which is guided over a deflection roller 14 at the bottom of the housing 2, can be wound onto a rope drum 15 or can be unwound therefrom and is fastened to the rod 10.
  • the drive 12 is designed as an electric motor which drives the cable drum 15 in a rotating manner.
  • the dispensing hose 5 forming two loops 6a and 6b is located in the housing 2; the nozzle 4 hangs in the nozzle holder 8.
  • the drive 12 is switched on by a switch (not shown).
  • the drive 12 causes the rope designed as a tension element 11 to be wound onto the rope drum 15 at one end, while the other end of the rope is unwound from the rope drum 15.
  • the rod 10 attached to the rope is moved upward from the initial position on the bottom of the housing 2 into its upper end position, which is shown in the left half of FIG. 3. In this upper end position of the rod 10, the dispensing hose 5 can be pulled out with almost its entire length from the housing 2 for the pending refueling process without any effort.
  • the rod 10 in order to enable the dispensing hose 5 to be pulled out immediately, the rod 10, as soon as the dispensing hose 5 has been drawn into the housing 2 after the dispensing valve 4 has been suspended, can be moved from the lower into the upper end position, so that the dispensing hose 5 is always closed immediate removal.
  • the nozzle 4 is hooked back into the nozzle holder 8.
  • the drive 12 is put into operation again and the rod 10 is moved back into its rest position on the bottom of the housing 2.
  • This return movement of the rod 10 causes the part of the dispensing hose 5 located outside the housing 2 to be pulled back by forming the loops 6a and 6b inside the housing 2.
  • a switch 16 is provided which actuated by the rod 10 returning to the rest position, the drive 12 switches off.
