  • the invention is based on the technical problem of creating a nozzle valve which can be guided by a robot and has a nozzle connection and filling pipe for automatically refueling motor vehicles projecting in a refueling position with fuel.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that a nozzle valve gun of the type described in the introduction can be further developed in a simple manner to a robot-operated nozzle valve nozzle, namely that in combination with the features 1.1) to 1.5) the features 1.6) to 1.8) of the Claim 1 can be realized.
  • This nozzle valve gun can be easily connected to a robot arm via a robot effector.
  • the considerable advantage is achieved that the robot-operated nozzle valve gun according to the invention is pure is mechanically actuated. Electrical components and functional elements are not required and consequently a corresponding explosion-proof training can be omitted.
  • the nozzle valve gun according to the invention is suitable for robots without external energy.
  • the transmission can be designed as a gear transmission which has at least one gear or toothed segment which meshes with a linear toothing on the valve rod of the outlet blocking valve.
  • the gear can also use the gear as a lever gear, z. B. as a closed four-lever / four-bar gearbox, which has return springs and is actuated by side surfaces on the inner wall of the control sleeve.
  • the design and arrangement of the outlet blocking valve One of these possibilities is the subject of claim 4. Further possibilities are the subject of claims 5 to 10.
  • the robot-operated nozzle valve gun 1 with nozzle hose connection 2 and filling pipe 3 shown in the figures serves for the automatic filling of motor vehicles projecting in a filling station with fuel.
  • the robot has not been shown, but how the robot is connected is described.
  • the basic structure of the fuel nozzle gun includes a valve housing 4 with a valve seat 5 arranged on the fuel hose side and a fuel flowable valve Valve cone 6 on a valve spindle 9 which is axially displaceable in a guide bore 7 of the valve housing 4 and loaded by a closing spring 8.
  • a latching device 10 is arranged, the latching member 11 of which engages in a latching recess 12 of the valve spindle 9 during the refueling process and is controlled by a control membrane 13.
  • 3 shows the diaphragm housing 14, which is divided by the control diaphragm 13 into a vacuum chamber 15 and into a compensation chamber 16.
  • a control line 17 leads from the vacuum chamber 15 to an outlet 18 in the valve housing 4 and a sensor line 19 to the mouth of the filling pipe 3.
  • the nozzle 5, 6 When the nozzle 5, 6 is open, the fuel flowing past creates an underpressure at the outlet 18.
  • the design is such that when the fuel level in the motor vehicle tank into which the fill pipe 3 is inserted closes the mouth of the sensor line 19, the locking member 11 releases the valve spindle 9 and the valve cone 6 closes.
  • valve housing 4 on the valve housing 4 in the area between the diaphragm housing 14 and the connection of the filling pipe 3, a control sleeve 20 for an outlet blocking valve 21 with a valve rod 22 also serving as a bearing element is arranged.
  • the valve rod 22 is mounted in a housing configuration 23. It is in the axial direction of the nozzle valve gun 1 with a predetermined degree of freedom, which has been delimited by a block stop 24 and shown in the figures by a double arrow, can be displaced against a return spring 25.
  • the control sleeve 20 has an actuating collar 26 which can be placed on a counter collar when the filler tube 3 is introduced into the motor vehicle tank, the control sleeve 20 being able to be pressed against the action of the return spring 25 and by the associated robot against the block stop 24. Auxiliary components can also be interposed. Confirmation collar 26 and the counter collar on the motor vehicle tank meet with their end faces.
  • a gear 27 can be seen, which can also be seen in FIG. 2B.
  • the control sleeve 20 actuates this gear 27, with which the outlet blocking valve 21 can be controlled in the movement against the action of the return spring 25 and towards the block stop 24 in the installation and with the inverse movement of the control sleeve 20 and the influence of the return spring 25 in the closed position.
  • the nozzle valve gun 1 can be connected to a robot arm via a robot effector, which has not been drawn.
  • the transmission 27 is designed as a gear transmission which has at least one gear 28 or toothed segment, which meshes with a linear toothing 29 on the valve rod 22 of the outlet blocking valve 21.
  • the gear is in the valve housing 4 stored, it also meshes with a toothing in the control sleeve 20.
  • the gear 27 could also as a lever gear, for. B. as a closed four-lever / four-bar gearbox, which has return springs.
  • Dispensing hose connection 2, valve housing 4 and filling pipe 3 are expediently arranged along a straight line.
  • the valve housing 4 has a cylindrical cross section and that a connecting part for the robot effector can be rotatably placed on the valve housing 4.
  • the outlet blocking valve 21 is arranged in the front end of the valve housing 4 before the filling pipe 3 is connected.
  • the seat of the outlet blocking valve 21 is formed in the valve housing 4.
  • the outlet blocking valve 21 is connected directly to the actuating rod 22. 1, 3 and 5, the open position of the outlet blocking valve has been indicated by dashed lines.
  • the filling tube 3 including the sensor line 19 is flexible.
  • the outlet blocking valve 21 is arranged at the mouth 30 of the filling pipe 3 and can be actuated by the actuating rod 22 via a flexible intermediate element 31, 32, 33.
  • the intermediate element consists of a longitudinally displaceably arranged in the valve housing 4 or in a valve housing extension 34 against a return spring 35 Upper pipe section 31, a lower pipe section 32 arranged in the area of the mouth 30 of the filling pipe 3 and a pressure-resistant, flexible connecting spring 33.

  • the arrangement is such that the outlet blocking valve 21 has an inner valve element 38 and an outer valve element 39, which can be rotated in the opposite direction of rotation about the axis of the filling tube 3, the valve elements 38, 39 have flow openings 40, 41 for the fuel, which flow openings 40, 41 are adjustable with respect to one another in a slide-like manner with the aid of spiral groove guides 42 for the rotatable valve element 38 and 39.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show the valve elements 38, 39 acting like a slide in the closed slide position, open in FIGS. 11 and 12 in the slide position.
  • the outer valve element 39 with the throughflow openings 41 rotates counterclockwise during the opening movement of the outlet blocking valve 21, guided on the helical groove 42 in the filling tube 3.
  • the inner valve element 38 with flow openings 40 rotates clockwise during the opening movement, guided on its spiral groove 42. It is within the scope of the invention to design only one valve element so that it can rotate, with a correspondingly increased travel range. It is understood that in this embodiment, the valve elements interacting in a slide-like manner could also be designed geometrically differently, e.g. B. like two nested baskets.
