Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a canister for processing evaporated fuel generated in a fuel system in an automobile, so as to adsorb and separate the evaporated fuel, and in particular to a canister having a structure such that dust entering from the atmosphere into the canister is removed during separation of evaporated fuel from the canister, and that the ventilation resistance of a dust filter is restrained from increasing, and that the ability of attachment of the dust filter is enhanced during assembly.
  • an evaporated fuel disposal device for preventing emission of evaporated fuel from a fuel system including a fuel tank into the atmosphere, and there has been well-known a canister as means for adsorbing the evaporated fuel.
  • such a conventional canister generally includes a filter 104 provided between an adsorbent layer 102 and an atmospheric port 103 within the canister 101, and during operation of an engine, an intake pipe vacuum is applied to the adsorbent layer 102 to suck the atmospheric air into an atmospheric chamber 105 through the atmospheric port 103, and then, the atmospheric air is introduced into the adsorbent layer 102 through the filter 104 so as to purge evaporated fuel which is adsorbed to the adsorbent layer 102 together with the atmospheric air into an intake pipe of the engine.
  • a canister 101 is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-11-200962.
  • a canister that the filter can be restrained from clogging, in which an adsorbent 212 is charged in a casing 211 so as to define an adsorbent chamber 213 while the adsorbent chamber 213 is partitioned by means of a partition wall 211a extending from the upper part of the casing 211 into a first adsorbent chamber 213a and a second adsorbent chamber 213b which are communicated in series with each other.
  • the first adsorbent chamber 213a is provided at its upper part with two check valves 214a, 214b, the first check valve 214b being opened so as to pass therethrough evaporated fuel flowing from a fuel tank, which is not shown, by way of a tank port 211b while the second check valve 214a is closed for blocking.
  • a purge port 211f communicated with a downstream side of a throttle valve of an engine intake pipe, which is not shown, is opened in the upper space of the first adsorbent chamber 213a.
  • the adsorbent 212 is held by a retaining plate 216 and filters 217a, 217b, 217c which are subjected to a pressing force by a spring 215.
  • the second adsorbent chamber 213b defines in the upper part thereof a filter chamber 211c in which a rectangular planar dust filter 218 is mounted.
  • the dust filter 218 is formed in one end part thereof with a pipe hole 218a which is fitted on a cylindrical pipe 211d extending from the upper part of the casing 211.
  • the dust filter 218 is formed in the other end part thereof with a pin hole 218b having the same size as that of the pipe hole 218, at a position having the same distance from the other end thereof, as that of the pipe holes 218a from the one end thereof.
  • This pin hole 218b is adapted to be fitted on an assembly reference pin 211g extending downward from a filter cap 219.
  • the dust filter is fixed to the upper part of the casing, and a cap-like cover is fitted thereon and formed therein with a suction port through which the atmospheric air is fed into the cover from the lower part of the filter, and accordingly, the sealing ability and the productivity are inferior, thereby it has been desired to improve the canister in this regard.
  • An object of preferred embodiments of the present invention is to provide a filter structure in which dust and the like contained in the atmospheric air are prevented from sticking to the filter over the entire surface thereof, and accordingly, the filter becomes less clogged, thereby it is possible to avoid the purge volume of the canister from being lowered due to an increase in the ventilation resistance.
  • a canister comprising an adsorbent chamber defined in a casing, filled therein with adsorbent, and partitioned by a partition wall into a first adsorbent chamber and a second adsorbent chamber which are communicated in series with each other, a tank port and a purge port opened to an upper space of the first adsorbent chamber, an atmospheric port opened to an upper space of the second adsorbent chamber, and a dust filter interposed between the atmospheric port and the second adsorbent chamber, characterised in that the dust filter has a crescent-like shape, having a pipe hole which is located in its substantially center part and is adapted to be fitted on a pipe extending in a filter chamber, and the filter chamber accommodating the dust filter has a crescent-like shape substantially identical with the shape of the dust filter, and the atmospheric port is opened to the lower surface side of the dust filter.
  • the dust filter has a crescent-like shape, having the pipe hole located at substantially the center thereof and fitted on the pipe extending from the upper part of the casing, and since the filter chamber accommodating the dust filter has the crescent shape substantially identical with the shape of the dust filter while the atmospheric port is opened to the lower surface as viewed in the gravitational direction, the atmospheric air flows around the pipe by a large volume so that dust or the like is likely to be accumulated around the pipe, but the opposite end parts of the dust filter having the crescent-like shape are narrowed outward so that the flow of the atmospheric air is small, thereby the dust can hardly be accumulated as a whole.
  • the ventilation resistance of the dust filter can be restrained from being increased, thereby it is possible to prevent the purge volume of the canister from lowering.
  • a structure of a canister that is considered to solve the problems, that is, the conventional canister is inferior in sealing ability and productivity so as to require improvement thereof.
  • the atmospheric air sucked through an atmospheric port 302 formed in the upper part of a canister casing 301 is introduced into an adsorbent layer 308 by way of a lower chamber 303, a dust preventing filter 304, an upper chamber 305, a communication pipe 306 and an adsorbent side filter 307 so as to cause dust which is sucked through the atmospheric port 302 with the atmospheric air to stick to the lower surface of the dust preventing filter 304, and thereafter, to allow the dust to drop into the lower chamber 303 due to vibration during running of a vehicle or the like in order to restrain clogging of the dust preventing filter 304.
  • a filter holding member 309 for holding the dust preventing filter 304 and defining the above-mentioned communication pipe 306 is formed as shown in Fig. 14, and the peripheral surface 311 of an attaching flange part 310 thereof is fitted in the inner peripheral surface 312 of the canister casing 301, as shown in Fig. 13, while the adsorbent side filter 307 is located underneath the filter holding member and welded to the canister casing 301 so as to support the dust preventing filter 304 by the adsorbent side filter 307.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a canister which can aim at restraining clogging of the filter by dust as mentioned above, and at preventing the filter holding member 309 from dropping as mentioned above, in order to enhance the assembling ability thereof.
  • a canister comprising a canister casing having at an upper part therein an atmospheric port, the atmospheric port being communicated with an adsorbent filled chamber in the canister casing through the intermediary of a filter mounting chamber containing a filter holding member holding a dust preventing filter and formed therein with a communication hole formed therein being mounted so that the atmospheric air from the atmospheric port passes through the dust preventing filter from the lower surface to the upper surface, and thereafter flows into the adsorbent filled chamber through the communication hole, and an adsorbent side filter being located and secured underneath the filter holding member thus mounted, characterised by a temporary holding means for temporarily holding in a mounted condition the filter holding member before the adsorbent side filter is assembled.
  • the filter holding member for holding the dust preventing filter
  • the atmospheric air from the atmospheric port passes through the dust preventing filter from the lower surface to the upper surface, and dust sucked with the atmospheric air, sticks to the lower surface of the dust preventing filter. Accordingly, during vibration of the canister, the dust sticking to the lower surface of the dust preventing canister drops as mentioned above so as to restrain clogging of the dust preventing filter, thereby it is possible to restrain the ventilation resistance of the dust preventing filter from being increased due to sticking of dust.
  • the filter holding member can be prevented from being dropped by its dead weight even though the posture of the canister casing is changed after the filter holding member is mounted and before the adsorbent side filter is secured.
  • the temporary holding means may be composed of a snap fit portion formed in the filter holding member and a protrusion formed on the inner surface of the filter mounting chamber and adapted to be engaged with the snap fit portion.
  • Fig. 1A is a top view which shows a canister in a first embodiment according to the present invention
  • Fig. 1B is a front longitudinal sectional view (in a section A-A) which shows the canister shown in Fig. 1A
  • Fig. 1C is a top view which shows a dust filter.
  • a cylindrical resin casing 1 defines therein an adsorbent chamber 3 in which adsorbent 2 is filled.
  • the adsorbent 2 is held vertically between a first filter 4a, a second filter 4b and a third filter 4c which are welded to the casing 1, and is clamped and pressed by a spring 6 through the intermediary of a retainer plate 5.
  • the adsorbent chamber 3 is partitioned into a first adsorbent chamber 3a and a second adsorbent chamber 3b by a partition wall 1a extending downward from the upper part of the casing 1, which are communicated with each other in the lower part of the casing 1.
  • a tank port 1c for introducing evaporated fuel from a fuel tank (not shown) during adsorption and a purge port 1d adapted to be communicated with a downstream portion of a throttle valve in an intake pipe of an engine (not shown), for separating evaporated fuel during separation, are opened to an upper space 1b in the first adsorbent chamber 3a. It is noted that the tank port 1c is communicated with the fuel tank by way of a check valve (not shown).
  • the first adsorbing chamber 3a is provided in an upper space 1b with a plurality of support parts 1h for supporting the first filter 4a.
  • An upper space in the second adsorbent chamber 3b defines therein a filter chamber 1e accommodating and securing therein an adapter 7 formed with a cylindrical pipe 7a standing upright, support portions 7b for supporting the second filter 4b, and support portions 7c for supporting a dust filter 8 which will be hereinbelow described.
  • the filter chamber 1e is partitioned by means of a partition wall 1g such that a lower part thereof communicates with the atmosphere via the atmospheric port 1f.
  • the dust filter 8 having a crescent-like shape is held in the filter chamber 1e by means of support portions 7c at a substantially vertical center in the filter chamber 1e. It is noted that the reason why the dust filter 8 has a crescent-like shape is based upon such a technical concept that the area of filtering is set in accordance with a flow rate of the atmospheric air so as to cause effective sticking of dust.
  • the dust filter 8 is provided substantially at its center with a pipe hole 8a fitted on the pipe 7a, and at opposite ends of the crescent-like shape with pin holes 8b, respectively, fitted on assembly reference pins 7d (two positions). With this arrangement, the filter can be assembled on either the front or rear side thereof.
  • the filter chamber 1e is formed in the same shape as that of the dust filter 8 which is therefore fitted therein with no gap.
  • the atmospheric air flows and concentrates around the pipe 7a on the lower surface of the dust filter 8, and accordingly, dust or the like in the atmospheric air is not widely distributed over the entire lower surface of the dust filter, and sticks starting from the center part of the filter, thereby it easily drops due to vibration during running of a vehicle, or a gravitational force exerted to the dust or the like.
  • the dust filter 218 in the canister shown in Figs. 17A, 17B and 17C has a rectangular shape.
  • the dust filter 18' having a pipe hole at substantially a center thereof and a crescent-like shape is used, instead of the rectangular dust filter, and a filter chamber 11c', a cylindrical pipe 11d' expending from the casing 211 and an atmospheric opening port 11e' are used correspondingly to the shape of the filter 18', respectively, so as to prevent the purge volume from deteriorating.
