Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic dispensing valve for the fuel dispensing hose of a petrol station dispenser for the delivery of diesel fuel, - with a dispensing tube, a housing with a housing spigot and a return drop collector with return channel.
  • the term automatic dispensing valve refers to those dispensing valves which are suspended in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle to be refueled and automatically interrupt the dispensing operation when, in particular, the level of the fuel in the tank reaches the mouth of the dispensing tube.
  • the return channel is used to catch the fuel residue, which runs back outside of the wetted during the refilling tank dispensing pipe, when the nozzle is moved back with the dispenser up to the pump or suspended there.
  • diesel fuel in the context of the invention refers to a fuel for diesel engines, including biodiesel, synthetic diesel, vegetable oils and / or similar viscous fuels for diesel engines.
  • the return drop collector is formed here in the form of a cylindrical sleeve, which has a circumferential return channel and a circumferential receiving chamber for receiving the diesel fuel or the diesel fuel residue.
  • the cylindrical sleeve is placed in front of the housing or in front of the housing neck of the dispensing nozzle on the dispensing tube.
  • This automatic dispensing valve has proven itself in principle.
  • designed as a return drop collector or as a diesel fuel drop collector socket represents an additional component of the dispensing valve, which causes additional costs in the unit price of the dispensing valve.
  • the additional components in particular also require an additional storage and administrative effort.
  • the invention the technical problem of specifying a nozzle of the type mentioned with the simple and inexpensive way the above disadvantages can be avoided and with an effective and reliable collection of the outside of the nozzle returning diesel fuel is possible.
  • the invention teaches an automatic dispensing valve for the fuel dispensing hose of a petrol station dispenser for the delivery of diesel fuel, - with a dispensing tube, a housing with housing neck and a return drop collector with return channel, wherein the dispensing tube engages in the housing neck and wherein the return drop collector is integrated into the housing neck and wherein the return trough of the return drop collector is connected to a receiving chamber of the return drop collector arranged in the housing stub and in which the housing stub is coated with a protective coating, the protective cover being made of a plastic material and the plastic material being arranged with the proviso that it shrinks when exposed to the diesel fuel and thereby acts sealing.
  • the switching mechanism for the nozzle is accommodated in the housing of the dispensing valve.
  • the housing neck or the housing neck wall is fixed and preferably integrally connected to the housing or to the housing wall / molded.
  • the return trough of the return drop collector for diesel fuel dispensing Zapfrohrende is open. It is also in the frame the invention that the return trough rotates over at least part of the circumference of the dispensing tube and preferably rotates over the entire circumference of the dispensing tube.
  • the return drop collector is completely integrated with its return channel and its receiving chamber in the housing neck or in the housing. According to this embodiment, the return drop collector is thus completely accommodated in the housing neck or in the housing.
  • the return trough is expediently arranged at the front end or in the region of the front end of the housing neck. Front end of the housing stub here means the end of the housing nozzle facing the diesel fuel dispensing end facing.
  • the housing connecting wall is made of a metal, preferably of aluminum.
  • the housing wall of the rest of the housing made of this metal, preferably made of aluminum.
  • the outer surface of the dispensing tube in the region of the return channel forms the inner wall of the return channel.
  • the return channel is used according to the invention for collecting the returning on the outer surface of the dispensing nozzle diesel fuel residues. As already explained above, this return takes place, in particular, when the dispensing valve with the dispensing tube is moved back up to the gas pump or is suspended there accordingly.
  • the return channel is connected via at least two throttle channels to the receiving chamber of the return drop collector.
  • the throttle channels are expediently also received in the housing neck or in the housing of the dispensing valve.
  • the transition region between the return channel and the receiving chamber is designed to be closed except for the aforementioned throttle channels.
  • the throttle channels can be designed as throttling recesses or throttling holes.
  • the hole cross section of the at least one throttle channel is preferably 1 to 2 mm 2 .
  • two throttle channels are provided.
  • a throttle duct serves the inlet or the outlet of the diesel fuel into and out of the receiving chamber and the second throttle channel is provided for the respective outflowing or inflowing air (venting or ventilation duct).
  • the second throttle channel is provided for the respective outflowing or inflowing air (venting or ventilation duct).
  • basically two throttle channels are sufficient.
  • the sleeve placed in front of the housing neck was rotatable and, for this reason, several throttle channels inevitably had to be provided in order to ensure the function even in different positions.
  • two throttle channels can be provided in a fixed position at the optimum positions, and further throttle channels are not required in principle.
  • the diesel fuel returning to the dispensing pipe first runs into the return funnel and from there via the throttle channels slowly into the receiving chamber of the return drop collector.
  • a sufficient time elapses between two refueling operations, so that the diesel fuel residue can pass slowly through the throttle channels into the receiving chamber at this time.
  • the dispensing nozzle or the nozzle is kept lowered, which requires in the Recording chamber received diesel fuel first some time to get through the throttle channels back into the return channel.
  • the nozzle is introduced into the filler neck of a fuel tank and then running out of the return channel diesel fuel can pass along the outer surface of the dispensing tube in the fuel tank.
  • sufficient time remains for complete emptying of the receiving chamber. In this way, according to the invention, a contamination of the environment with diesel fuel residues can be avoided.
  • the receiving chamber of the return drop collector rotates over at least part of the circumference of the dispensing tube or the housing neck.
  • the receiving chamber overflows over the entire circumference of the dispensing tube or the housing neck.
  • the tap tube-side inside of the housing nozzle wall in the region of the receiving chamber forms the outer wall of the receiving chamber.
  • this housing connecting wall is made of metal, particularly preferably of aluminum. It is further recommended that the outer surface of the dispensing tube forms the inner wall of the receiving chamber in the region of the receiving chamber.
  • the housing neck and preferably the entire housing is covered with a flexible protective cover.
  • the flexible protective cover is expediently a protective cover of plastic material or soft plastic material (soft plastic protective cover).
  • the protective cover is made of a plastic material and this plastic material is designed with the proviso that it shrinks under the action of the diesel fuel and thereby acts sealingly.
  • the shrinkage of the plastic material or soft plastic material takes place by taking place under the influence of the diesel fuel plasticizer loss.
  • the housing stub is encapsulated in the region of its front end by an outer protective cap or outer protective cuff circulating over its outer circumference.
  • this outer protective cap expediently extends over most of the length of the housing neck.
  • the outer protective cap can be made in different colors and can thus be used advantageously for color coding. When required color changes a hassle-free conversion is possible in comparison to the known measures described above, since the outer cap is easy and replaceable without much effort.
  • At least one circumferential seal between the housing neck and dispensing tube seals the remaining housing interior.
  • a seal which is required in any case between the housing neck and the dispensing pipe can at the same time serve to seal the return drop collector against the remaining housing interior.
  • An additional seal required for the known diesel drop collector for sealing the receiving chamber against the dispensing tube can be eliminated here in an advantageous manner.
  • the invention is based on the finding that considerable economic advantages can be combined with significant environmental advantages in the dispensing valve according to the invention.
  • components already present at the dispensing valve are used to implement the return drop collector according to the invention.
  • an additional complex component which causes additional costs with regard to the unit price of the dispensing valve is dispensed with.
  • an O-ring seal and the associated manufacturing, processing and assembly costs are dispensed with.
