Abstract

Prior art devices have a sucking jet pump, which is placed inside a storage reservoir and which delivers fuel from a supply reservoir and into the storage reservoir via a suction opening located in the bottom of the storage reservoir. A filter cloth is situated upstream from the suction opening and filters out dirt particles contained in the fuel inside the supply reservoir so that these particles can not impair the operability of valves situated downstream from the suction opening. A drawback exists in that the filter cloth becomes increasingly stopped up when filtering highly impure fuel whereby resulting in an increasing loss in pressure so that, with the same delivery capacity of the delivery pump, increasingly less fuel is delivered into the storage reservoir. The inventive device provides an alternative particle precipitation that has a higher holding capacity for particles than that of the prior art. The invention provides that a number of chambers (24), which are open toward the storage reservoir (2) and which serve for the precipitation of dirt particles contained in the fuel, are placed on and/or inside the bottom (23) of the storage reservoir (2) on the inner side (19) facing the delivery pump (16). The delivery pump (16) is arranged in such a manner that the fuel coming out of the delivery pump (16) flows over the chambers (24).

Der Ansaugöffnung ist ein Filtergewebe vorgeschaltet, das im Kraftstoff des Vorratsbehälters enthaltene Schmutzpartikel herausfiltert, damit diese nicht die Funktionsfähigkeit von der Ansaugöffnung nachgeschalteten Ventilen beeinträchtigen können. Nachteilig ist, dass das Filtergewebe bei stark verunreinigtem Kraftstoff zunehmend verstopft und dadurch einen ansteigenden Druckverlust erzeugt, so dass bei gleicher Leistung der Saugstrahlpumpe zunehmend weniger Kraftstoff in denThe invention relates to a device according to the preamble of the main claim.

The intake opening is preceded by a filter fabric which filters out the dirt contained in the fuel of the reservoir, so that they can not affect the functioning of downstream of the intake valves. The disadvantage is that the filter fabric increasingly clogged with heavily contaminated fuel and thus generates an increasing pressure loss, so that with the same power of the ejector increasingly less fuel in the

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Vorrichtung möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the main claim device are possible.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Kammern in Strömungsrichtung des aus der Förderpumpe austretenden Kraftstoffs hintereinander angeordnet sind, da auf diese Weise die Partikel besonders gut in den Kammern abgeschieden werden. Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, wenn zusätzlich Kammern in Strömungsrichtung des aus der Förderpumpe austretenden Kraftstoffs gesehen nebeneinander angeordnet sind, da auf diese Weise die Abscheidewirkung noch weiter verbessert wird.It is particularly advantageous if the chambers are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the fuel emerging from the feed pump, since in this way the particles are deposited particularly well in the chambers. It is also advantageous if, in addition, chambers are arranged side by side in the flow direction of the fuel exiting from the feed pump, since in this way the separation effect is even further improved.
Sehr vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Kammern durch vom Boden des Speicherbehälters vorstehende Wandungen gebildet sind, da diese Ausführung besonders einfach und kostengünstig durch Spritzgießen herstellbar ist.It is very advantageous if the chambers are formed by protruding from the bottom of the storage container walls, as this embodiment is particularly easy and inexpensive to produce by injection molding.
Desweiteren vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Kammern durch zumindest zweiFurthermore, it is advantageous if the chambers by at least two

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist das Förderaggregat eine Saugstrahlpumpe.According to an advantageous embodiment, the delivery unit is a suction jet pump.
Außerdem vorteilhaft ist, wenn das Förderaggregat derart angeordnet ist, dass der aus einem Auslass des Förderaggregates in den Speicherbehälter austretende Kraftstoffstrahl schräg auf eine Umfangswandung des Speicherbehälters trifft, da der Kraftstoffstrahl auf diese Weise nicht zerteilt wird, sondern sich an die Umfangswandung anschmiegt und an dieser entlang strömt. Dadurch strömt nahezu die gesamte angesaugte Kraftstoffmenge über die Kammern hinweg, so dass eine ausreichende Reinigung des angesaugten Kraftstoffs gewährleistet ist.It is also advantageous if the delivery unit is arranged such that the emerging from an outlet of the delivery unit in the storage tank fuel jet obliquely on a peripheral wall of the storage container, since the fuel jet is not divided in this way, but conforms to the peripheral wall and at this flows along.

The sucked fuel is conveyed together with the so-called propulsion jet of the treble line 15 in the storage container 2.
In der Treibleitung 15 ist beispielsweise ein Drosselelement 21 vorgesehen, um den über die Treibleitung 15 fließenden Volumenstrom festzulegen und zu begrenzen. Damit das Drosselelement 21 nicht verstopfen kann, ist ein weiterer Vorfilter 22 in der Treibleitung 15 stromauf des Drosselelementes 21 vorgesehen.In the brake line 15, for example, a throttle element 21 is provided in order to set and limit the volume flow flowing over the haulage line 15. So that the throttle element 21 can not clog, another pre-filter 22 is provided in the third brake line 15 upstream of the throttle element 21.
Eine Saugstrahlpumpe ist beispielsweise aus der DE 198 56 298 Cl bekannt, wobei deren Inhalt ausdrücklich Teil der Offenbarung dieser Anmeldung sein soll.An ejector pump is known, for example, from DE 198 56 298 C1, the content of which is expressly intended to be part of the disclosure of this application.
Der Speicherbehälter 2 ist beispielsweise topfförmig ausgebildet mit eine Achse 20 (Fig-2) und hat einen Boden 23. Die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 ist beispielsweise an demThe storage container 2 is for example pot-shaped with an axis 20 (FIG. 2) and has a bottom 23. The suction jet pump 16 is, for example, attached to the
Boden 23 angeordnet.Floor 23 arranged.
Beim Stand der Technik wird der über die Ansaugöffnung 17 angesaugte Kraftstoff durch Filter von Schmutzpartikeln gereinigt. Diese Filter verstopfen zunehmend, so dass der Druckverlust der Filter zunimmt und bei gleicher Leistung der Saugstrahlpumpe zunehmend weniger Kraftstoff in den Speicherbehälter 2 angesaugt wird. Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung kann auf diesen Filter verzichtet werden, indem eine alternative Abscheidung der Schmutzpartikel vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise bleibt der Druckverlust im Bereich der Ansaugöffnung 17 konstant, so dass bei gleicher Leistung der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 immer die gleiche Kraftstoffmenge in den Speicherbehälter 2 gefördert wird.In the prior art, the fuel sucked in via the intake opening 17 is cleaned by filters of dirt particles. These filters increasingly clog so that the pressure loss of the filters increases and with the same power of the ejector increasingly less fuel is sucked into the storage container 2. In the present invention, this filter can be dispensed with by providing an alternative deposition of the dirt particles. In this way, the pressure loss in the region of the intake opening 17 remains constant, so that at the same power of the ejector 16 always the same amount of fuel is conveyed into the storage container 2.
Erfindungsgemäß sind an und/oder in dem Boden 23 des Speicherbehälters 2 auf einer der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 zugewandten Innenseite 19 mehrere Kammern 24 zur Abscheidung von im Kraftstoff des Vorratsbehälters 1 enthaltenen Schmutzpartikeln vorgesehen. Die Kammern 24 sind auf ihrer dem Boden 23 abgewandten Oberseite zu dem Speicherbehälter 2 hin offen ausgebildet. Die Form der Kammern 24 ist beliebig. Die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 ist erfindungsgemäß derart angeordnet, dass der aus der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 in den Speicherbehälter 2 austretende Kraftstoff die Kammern 24 überströmt.According to the invention, a plurality of chambers 24 for separating dirt particles contained in the fuel of the storage container 1 are provided on and / or in the bottom 23 of the storage container 2 on an inner side 19 facing the suction jet pump 16. The chambers 24 are formed on their bottom 23 remote from the top to the storage container 2 out. The shape of the chambers 24 is arbitrary. The suction jet pump 16 is arranged according to the invention such that the fuel exiting the suction jet pump 16 into the storage tank 2 flows over the chambers 24.
Die Kammern 24 sind in einer Strömungsrichtung 26 des aus der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 in den Speicherbehälter 2 austretenden Kraftstoffs gesehen hintereinander angeordnet. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, zusätzlich weitere Kammern 24 in dieser Strömungsrichtung 26 gesehen nebeneinander anzuordnen. Die Kammern 24 sind beispielsweise teilringförmig hintereinander angeordnet, können aber auch auf einer Geraden liegend oder in beliebiger anderer Form in Reihe geschaltet sein.The chambers 24 are arranged one behind the other in a flow direction 26 of the fuel emerging from the ejector 16 into the storage container 2. It can also be provided, in addition to arrange further chambers 24 in this flow direction 26 side by side. The chambers 24 are arranged, for example, part-ring shape behind one another, but can also be connected in a straight line or connected in any other form in series.
Die Kammern 24 sind beispielsweise durch vom Boden 23 des Speicherbehälters 2 vorstehende Wandungen 25 gebildet. In einer anderen Ausführung können die KammernThe chambers 24 are formed for example by projecting from the bottom 23 of the storage container 2 walls 25. In another embodiment, the chambers
24 aber auch durch Vertiefungen in dem Boden 23 gebildet sein.24 but also be formed by depressions in the bottom 23.
Der aus der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 in den Speicherbehälter 2 über die Kammern 24 hinweg geleitete Kraftstoff wird durch die Kammern 24 verlangsamt. Die Kammern 24 stellen für die Strömung jeweils ein Totwassergebiet dar, in denen sich Wirbel ausbilden. In dem über die Kammern 24 geleiteten Kraftstoff enthaltene Schmutzpartikel werden beispielsweise durch die Verlangsamung der Strömung und die Wirbelbildung in den Kammern 24 aufgrund ihrer Trägheit abgeschieden und setzen sich am Boden der einzelnen Kammern 24 ab. Das Volumen der Kammern 24 ist derart ausgelegt, dass eine ausreichend große Kapazität zur Aufnahme von Schmutzpartikeln besteht und sich die Kammern 24 nicht innerhalb der mittleren Lebensdauer eines Fahrzeugs vollständig füllen. Die Aufnahmekapazität der Kammern 24 ist gegenüber den filternden Lösungen des Stands der Technik deutlich größer.The guided from the suction jet pump 16 into the storage container 2 via the chambers 24 away fuel is slowed down by the chambers 24. The chambers 24 each represent a dead water area for the flow in which vortex form. In the fuel conducted via the chambers 24 dirt particles are deposited, for example by the slowing of the flow and the vortex formation in the chambers 24 due to their inertia and settle at the bottom of the individual chambers 24. The volume of the chambers 24 is designed such that there is a sufficiently large capacity for receiving dirt particles and the Do not completely fill chambers 24 within the average life of a vehicle. The capacity of the chambers 24 is significantly greater than the filtering solutions of the prior art.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Vorrichtung nach Fig.1 , in dem jedoch nur derFig. 2 shows a section of the device according to Fig.1, but in which only the
Speicherbehälter, die Saugstrahlpumpe und die Kammern dargestellt sind.Storage tank, the suction jet pump and the chambers are shown.
Bei der Vorrichtung nach Fig.2 sind die gegenüber der Vorrichtung nach Fig.l gleichbleibenden oder gleichwirkenden Teile durch die gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.In the apparatus of Figure 2, the opposite to the device of Fig.l constant or equivalent parts are indicated by the same reference numerals.
Bei dem in Fig.2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Kammern 24 durch beispielsweise zwei voneinander beabstandete Führungswandungen 28 gebildet, zwischen denen mehrere, quer zur Strömungsrichtung 26 verlaufende und zueinander beabstandete Trennwandungen 30 angeordnet sind, die die Führungswandungen 28 beispielsweise miteinander verbinden. Die Führungswandungen 28 sind beispielsweise bogenförmig ausgeführt und verlaufen zumindest annähernd in die gleiche Richtung. Die Führungswandungen können aber ausdrücklich eine beliebige Form haben. Die Trennwandungen 30 reichen in axialer Richtung bezüglich der Achse 20 des Speichertopfes 2 beispielsweise bis an den Boden 23 des Speicherbehälters 2, so dass voneinander abgetrennte Kammern 24 gebildet sind.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the chambers 24 are formed by, for example, two spaced apart guide walls 28, between which a plurality of transverse to the flow direction 26 extending and spaced apart partition walls 30 are arranged, which connect the guide walls 28, for example. The guide walls 28 are for example arcuate and extend at least approximately in the same direction. The guide walls can expressly have any shape. The dividing walls 30 extend in the axial direction with respect to the axis 20 of the storage cup 2, for example, to the bottom 23 of the storage container 2, so that separate chambers 24 are formed.
Beispielsweise sind die Kammern 24 derart radial außen bezüglich der Achse 20 angeordnet, dass sie an eine Umfangswandung 29 des Speicherbehälters 2 angrenzen. Auf diese Weise sind die Kammern 24 nach radial außen hin von dem Speicherbehälter 2 begrenzt, der mit der Umfangswandung 29 eine der Führungswandungen 28 bildet. Die andere Führungswandung 28 ist radial innen der Umfangswandung 29 und zu dieser beabstandet angeordnet.For example, the chambers 24 are arranged radially outward with respect to the axis 20 so that they adjoin a peripheral wall 29 of the storage container 2. In this way, the chambers 24 are bounded radially outward by the storage container 2, which forms one of the guide walls 28 with the peripheral wall 29. The other guide wall 28 is disposed radially inwardly of the peripheral wall 29 and spaced therefrom.
Die in axialer Richtung bezüglich der Achse 20 des Speicherbehälters 2 gemessene Höhe der Führungswandungen 28 ist beispielsweise größer als die in gleicher Richtung gemessene Höhe der Trennwandungen 30, kann aber auch gleich groß sein. Der Teil der Führungswandungen 28 oberhalb der Trennwandungen 30 dient der Strömungsführung des aus der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 austretenden Kraftstoffs über die Kammern 24 hinweg. Bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig.2 steigt die Höhe der hintereinander angeordneten Trennwandungen 30 in der Strömungsrichtung 26 von einer Trennwandung 30 zur nächsten an. Außerdem nimmt die Höhe der radial inneren Führungswandung 28 in der Strömungsrichtung 26 beispielsweise kontinuierlich zu. Die Höhe der Trennwandungen 30 und zumindest einer Führungswandung 28 kann aber auch in Strömungsrichtung 26 konstant sein oder sogar abnehmen.The height of the guide walls 28 measured in the axial direction with respect to the axis 20 of the storage container 2 is, for example, greater than the height of the dividing walls 30 measured in the same direction, but may also be the same. The part of the guide walls 28 above the dividing walls 30 serves to guide the flow of the fuel emerging from the suction jet pump 16 via the chambers 24. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the height of the dividing walls 30 arranged one behind the other increases in the flow direction 26 from one dividing wall 30 to the next. In addition, the height of the radially inner guide wall 28 in the flow direction 26 increases continuously, for example. The height of the dividing walls 30 and at least one guide wall 28 can also be constant or even decrease in the flow direction 26.
Die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 weist einen Einlass 33 für den Kraftstoff der Treibleitung 15 und einen auch als Mischkanal bezeichneten Auslass 34 in den Speicherbehälter 2 auf. Durch die Ansaugöffnung 17 im Boden 23 wird Kraftstoff aus dem Vorratsbehälter 1 in die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 angesaugt, der zusammen mit dem Kraftstoff der Treibleitung 15 durch den Auslass 34 in den Speicherbehälter 2 gelangt und anschließend zwischen den Führungswandungen 28 über die Kammern 24 hinwegströmt.The suction jet pump 16 has an inlet 33 for the fuel of the treble line 15 and an outlet 34, also referred to as a mixing channel, in the storage container 2. Through the intake opening 17 in the bottom 23, fuel is sucked from the reservoir 1 into the suction jet pump 16, which passes together with the fuel of the treble line 15 through the outlet 34 into the storage container 2 and then flows away between the guide walls 28 via the chambers 24.
Die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 ist beispielsweise derart angeordnet, dass der aus dem AuslassThe suction jet pump 16 is arranged, for example, such that the from the outlet
34 austretende Kraftstoffstrahl zu den Kammern 24 hin gerichtet ist, wobei der Auslass 34 der Saugstrahlpumpe 16 möglichst nahe an den Kammern 24 vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise ist gewährleistet, dass nahezu die gesamte aus dem Vorratsbehälter 1 angesaugte Kraftstoffmenge über die Kammern 24 strömt und von Schmutzpartikeln gereinigt wird. Außerdem ist die Saugstrahlpumpe 16 beispielsweise derart angeordnet, dass der aus dem34 outgoing fuel jet is directed to the chambers 24, wherein the outlet 34 of the suction jet pump 16 is provided as close to the chambers 24. In this way it is ensured that almost the entire amount of fuel sucked from the reservoir 1 flows through the chambers 24 and is cleaned of dirt particles. In addition, the suction jet pump 16, for example, arranged such that from the
Auslass 34 austretende Kraftstoffstrahl schräg zur Umfangswandung 29 ausgerichtet ist, so dass dieser sich an die Umfangswandung 29 des Speicherbehälters 2 anschmiegt, an dieser entlang zwischen den Führungswandungen 28 hindurchströmt und die Trennwandungen 30 mit den Kammern 24 überströmt. Outlet 34 emerging fuel jet is oriented obliquely to the peripheral wall 29 so that it conforms to the peripheral wall 29 of the storage container 2, flows along this along between the guide walls 28 and the partition walls 30 with the chambers 24 flows over.
