Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for metered Dispensing several liquids of the same type, in particular a fuel pump for liquid fuels.
  • a fuel pump for different liquid fuels for example for different Gasoline
  • the respective dispensing device is with a conveyor connection with an assigned storage tank connected. Between dispenser and associated Each tank connection has a storage tank assigned pump and an associated liquid measuring device.
  • the invention has for its object a generic Device advantageous in use and manufacturing technology easy to train.
  • a generic device is less expensive and smaller to manufacture and, moreover, easier to maintain.
  • a common liquid measuring device is provided for a multiplicity of similar, mutually detachable liquids, which is switched according to the liquid to be drawn off via a valve arrangement into a corresponding conveying connection between the storage tank and the dispensing device.
  • the invention is based on the finding that only one dispensing device can be used when dispensing liquids in a generic device, while the other dispensing devices are inactive.
  • a common display device for the dispensed volume is provided.
  • the volume that remains in the common liquid measuring device after the dispensing process is below the associated calibration tolerance, so that it is acceptable because of the similarity of the liquid to be drawn off that someone who, for. B. regular petrol, small amounts of super petrol, which the predecessor has drawn.
  • a screw spindle arrangement is selected as the liquid measuring device, as described in DE-OS 41 42 062.
  • the dead volume of the two interlocking screw spindles, one of which is connected to a revolution counter, is very low. It is approximately 13 cm 3 . With a typical minimum tap volume of 5 l, this value is below the calibration tolerance.
  • the dead volume is advantageously less than 20 cm 3 .
  • a valve is connected downstream of each pump and a valve is connected upstream of each dispensing device.
  • the resulting two valve arrangements are then switched in the manner of a three-way or multi-way valve.
  • the common liquid measuring device Between these valve arrangements is the common liquid measuring device, so that the liquid measuring device can be switched into the conveying connection between the dispensing device and the associated storage tank by suitable switching of the three-way or multi-way valve arrangement.
  • the valve downstream of the respective pump and the valve upstream of the respective associated nozzle can be interconnected.
  • the valves arranged downstream of the liquid measuring device can be designed as check valves.
  • the valves downstream of the liquid measuring device can be assigned to the nozzles and can be operated manually.
  • An electronic circuit can then be used to ensure that, in order to avoid incorrect refueling, the liquid supply is switched off when more than one fuel nozzle is operated at the same time.
  • the actuation of the manually operable valve arranged on the fuel nozzle emits an electrical signal which is fed to an electrical control circuit which simultaneously blocks the upstream valves when two such signals occur.
  • the valves arranged in the nozzle can have a check function.
  • the valves can preferably be designed such that they only open at a predetermined admission pressure, for example 0.8 bar, so that when actuated in front of more than one nozzle it is ensured that no liquid from the actuated nozzles due to the closed valves can leak.
  • the liquid measuring device 1 has a housing 21, in which two intersecting cylindrical Breakthroughs are provided. In this cylindrical Breakthroughs lie in sealing sliding Contact the respective inner walls of the cylinders each screw spindles 20, which with their Interlocking threads so that one through the spindle assembly flowing fluid the two Screw spindles 20 set in rotation.
  • the two Spindles are supported at the ends.
  • One of the spindles carries a detector wheel 24, which is designed as a pulse generator and have, for example, one or more magnets can.
  • a sensor 22 is provided in the housing, which the signals emitted by the detector wheel 24 for example via a magnetic detector into electrical signals converts which via a cable 23 to a measuring circuit be directed.
  • this liquid measuring device is based on the DE 41 42 062 referenced. The measurement conversion and the The measured values are output in the exemplary embodiment according to DE 41 42 062, with each switched Funding connection individual calibration and conversion parameters for volume and price display on the common display device are provided.
  • the tank device explained as an exemplary embodiment, as shown schematically in FIG. 1, has a total of three nozzles 2, 3, 4. Each of the Fuel nozzles 2, 3, 4 is over a not shown Hose and via valves 13 to 18 and one each associated pump 5, 6, 7 with associated storage tanks 8, 9, 10 connected.
  • valves downstream of the respective pumps 5, 6, 7 16, 17, 18 lead to a common outlet Output, which in the common liquid measuring device 1 goes so that when opening the valve 18th via the pump 7 liquid from the storage tank 10 and when valve 17 opens, liquid via pump 6 from the storage tank 9 and when the valve 16 opens Liquid via the pump 5 from the storage tank 8 is pumped through the liquid measuring device.
  • the valves 16, 17, 18 can never be opened together. It only one of these valves can be opened at a time. If the valve 16 is opened, the tap device opens 2 upstream valve 13; valve 17 opened, the one upstream of the dispensing device 3 opens Valve 14 and when valve 18 is opened, so opens the valve upstream of the dispensing device 4 15.
  • the valves 13, 14, 15, which to the respective Dispensing devices 2, 3, 4 open, go from a common Entrance in which the liquid measuring device 1 ends.
  • the valves 13, 14, 15 can be a valve measuring block 11 may be assigned, which also as Multi-way valve is formed.
  • the valves of the multi-way valves 11, 12 are switched in pairs, so that the liquid measuring device in the respective conveyor connection between the storage tanks 8 to 10 and the Fuel nozzles 2 to 4 can be switched.
  • the volume of the screw counter is preferably less than 20 cm 3 , preferably 13 cm 3 , so that with a minimum delivery of, for example, 5 l, the dead volume of the liquid measuring device is below the limit of the calibration tolerance.
  • the measuring device 1 is connected to a transducer connected to a display device on which tapped volume and one corresponding to the tapped volume Price is shown. Simultaneously with the Quantity determination / display, price determination / display.
  • valves 13, 14, 15 can also be used as check valves be trained or by the manually operated valves be formed on the nozzles.
  • the invention are two on each pump 5, 6, 7 Tank units T1, T2 connected.
  • There are a total three pumps 5, 6, 7 are provided in front of each pump a filter device 25 through which the liquid, here the fuel from the respective storage tank 8, 9, 10 is pumped.
  • the pump 5, 6, 7 is each a check valve 26 downstream. After this Check valve 26 branches the pipeline each in one of the two tank units T1, T2.
  • the downstream valves are in the nozzles 2, 3, 4 housed themselves.
  • the one in the nozzle Valves are housed by one on the Fuel nozzle 2, 3, 4 provided actuating lever activated.
  • the actuation of the actuation lever is activated at the same time an electrical switch, which one signals electronic circuit, not shown, that one of the three nozzles 2, 3, 4 is actuated has been.
  • the electronic circuit then controls the associated upstream valve 16, 17, 18 in the Open position and leaves the assigned pump 5, 6, 7 start if this is not already running.
  • the one in the nozzle arranged manually operated valves are so biased that it can only be printed on open at least 0.8 bar.
