Abstract

The nozzle has a manually operated switch lever (8) that is movable between a closing position, in which fuel is not delivered, and an opening position, in which fuel is delivered. The switch lever is spring-loaded in a direction of closing position by a return spring, and arrives automatically into the closing position with recessive hand force. An obstruction aid i.e. pivotable lever (10), reduces obstruction force needed for holding a switch lever in a determined opening position. The obstruction aid comprises an obstruction element movable between a stop position and a release position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zapfventil zur Abgabe von Kraftstoff, mit einem handbetätigten Schalthebel, der zwischen einer Schließstellung, in der keine Kraftstoffabgabe erfolgt, und einer Öffnungsstellung, in der eine Kraftstoffabgabe erfolgt, bewegbar ist, wobei der Schalthebel von einer Rückstellfeder in Richtung Schließstellung federbelastet ist und bei nachlassender Handkraft selbsttätig in die Schließstellung kommt.The invention relates to a dispensing valve for dispensing fuel, with a manually operated shift lever, which is movable between a closed position in which no fuel delivery, and an open position in which a fuel delivery takes place, wherein the shift lever is spring-loaded by a return spring in the closed position and automatically comes in the closed position with decreasing manual force.

Derartige automatische Zapfventile für die Abgabe von Kraftstoffen an Tankstellen werden dadurch betätigt, daß der Schalthebel von Hand gezogen werden muß. Mit dem Schalthebel wird ein federbelastetes Ventil geöffnet, so daß je nach den vorgegebenen Federkräften eine vom Benutzer aufzubringende Schalthebelkraft erforderlich ist. Diese Kraft wirkt über den gesamten Betankungsvorgang, der je nach Durchflußrate und Behältergröße mehrere Minuten dauern kann. Um während des Betankungsvorgangs nicht ständig diese Kraft mit der Hand halten zu müssen, gibt es an den Zapfventilen Aufrastsysteme, durch die nach dem Ziehen des Schalthebels der Schalthebel in einer oder mehreren Positionen arretiert werden kann. In der Regel ist eine automatische Abschaltsteuerung des Zapfventils vorhanden und so ausgelegt, daß die Arretierung durch das automatische Abschaltsystem aufgehoben werden kann.Such automatic nozzles for the delivery of fuel to gas stations are actuated by the fact that the lever must be pulled by hand. With the shift lever, a spring-loaded valve is opened, so that depending on the predetermined spring forces a user to be applied shift lever force is required. This force acts throughout the refueling process, which can take several minutes, depending on the flow rate and vessel size. To avoid having to constantly hold this force by hand during the refueling process, there are latching systems on the nozzles which, after pulling the gearshift lever, lock the gear lever in one or more positions. In general, an automatic shut-off control of the dispensing valve is present and designed so that the lock can be canceled by the automatic shutdown system.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Arretierungsmöglichkeit ist allerdings in verschiedenen Ländern aufgrund bestimmter Anforderungen nicht einsetzbar, da gefordert wird, daß das Zapfventil in jedem Fall bei einem Lösen der Handkraft automatisch schließt, also ggf. auch vor dem automatischen Abschalten bei vollem Tank.However, the above-described locking option is not applicable in various countries due to certain requirements, since it is required that the nozzle automatically closes when a release of manual force, so possibly even before the automatic shutdown at full tank.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein gattungsgemäßes Zapfventil dahingehend zu verbessern, daß nicht während des gesamten Betankungsvorgangs die Schalthebelkraft von Hand gehalten werden muß.The object of the invention is to improve a generic nozzle to the effect that the lever force must not be held by hand throughout the refueling process.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem gattungsgemäßen Zapfventil durch die Maßnahme gelöst, daß das Zapfventil mit einer Aufhaltehilfe versehen ist, die eine zum Halten des Schalthebels in einer bestimmten Öffnungsstellung erforderliche Aufhaltekraft reduziert gegenüber Aufhaltekräften, die in anderen Öffnungsstellungen des Schalthebels erforderlich sind.This object is achieved in a generic nozzle by the measure that the nozzle is provided with a retention aid, which reduces a required for holding the shift lever in a certain opening position stopping force Retention forces that are required in other opening positions of the shift lever.

Die Aufhaltehilfe übernimmt somit nach dem Ziehen des Schalthebels von Hand größtenteils die Haltekraft, die für das Aufhalten des Schalthebels während des Betankungsvorgangs erforderlich ist, in einer oder mehreren bestimmten, vorab ausgewählten Öffnungsstellungen, so daß die in diesen Öffnungsstellungen erforderliche Handkraft deutlich reduziert ist gegenüber der in anderen Öffnungsstellungen des Schalthebels erforderlichen Handkraft.The holding aid thus takes over after pulling the shift lever by hand largely the holding force required for stopping the shift lever during the refueling operation, in one or more specific, pre-selected open positions, so that the force required in these open positions hand force is significantly reduced over the in other opening positions of the lever required manual force.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß die Aufhaltehilfe eine erforderliche Aufhaltekraft nicht nur in einer, sondern in mehreren bestimmten Öffnungsstellungen reduziert, beispielsweise in einer ersten bestimmten Öffnungsstellung, in der eine Kraftstoffabgabe bei einer minimalen Durchsatzrate erfolgt, einer zweiten bestimmten Öffnungsstellung, in der eine Kraftstoffabgabe bei einer mittleren Durchflußrate erfolgt, und einer dritten bestimmten Öffnungsstellung, in der eine Kraftstoffabgabe bei einer maximalen Durchflußrate erfolgt.It is preferably provided that the holding aid reduces a required stopping force not only in one, but in several specific open positions, for example in a first specific open position, in which a fuel delivery at a minimum flow rate occurs, a second specific open position in which a fuel delivery at a average flow rate, and a third specific open position in which a fuel delivery at a maximum flow rate occurs.

Die Aufhaltehilfe kann ein zwischen einer Arretierstellung und einer Lösestellung bewegbares Aufhalteelement aufweisen, das in Arretierstellung mit einer feststehenden, beispielsweise mit einem Zapfventilgehäuse verbundenen Aufhalteraste zusammenwirken kann, deren Lage die bestimmte Öffnungsstellung festlegt.The holding aid may comprise a holding element which can be moved between a locking position and a release position and which can cooperate in the locked position with a stationary holding button connected to a dispensing valve housing, for example, the position of which determines the specific opening position.

Das Arretierelement kann in Richtung Arretierstellung oder davon weg federbelastet sein.The locking element may be spring-loaded in the direction of the locking position or away.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß das Arretierelement als schwenkbarer Hebel ausgebildet ist.It is preferably provided that the locking element is designed as a pivotable lever.

Der Hebel kann eine Lösebetätigungsfläche zum Zusammenwirken mit einer Aufhalteraste aufweisen, und er kann eine Arretierfläche zum Zusammenwirken mit einer Aufhalteraste aufweisen.The lever may include a release actuating surface for engagement with a detent button, and may include a detent surface for engagement with a detent button.

Die Arretierfläche kann hinterschnitten ausgebildet sein, damit bereits bei einer relativ geringen auf den Hebel wirkenden Kraft eine deutliche Entlastungswirkung bezüglich der erforderlichen manuellen Aufhaltekraft des Schalthebels erreicht wird.The locking surface may be formed undercut, so that even with a relatively small force acting on the lever a significant relief effect with respect to the required manual stopping force of the shift lever is achieved.

Das Arretierelement kann einen mit einem Finger einer Bedienungsperson betätigbaren Aufhalteabschnitt aufweisen. Der Aufhalteabschnitt kann als weiterer Hebelarm des Hebels ausgebildet sein.The locking member may comprise a holding portion operable with a finger of an operator. The containment section can be designed as a further lever arm of the lever.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind zwei, drei oder mehr Aufhalterasten vorgesehen und bevorzugt mit einem Zapfventilgehäuse verbunden, beispielsweise an einem Bügel des Zapfventilgehäuses befestigt.Conveniently, two, three or more Aufhalterasten are provided and preferably connected to a nozzle housing, for example, attached to a bracket of the nozzle housing.

Zweckmäßigerweise legt eine erste Aufhalteraste eine Öffnungsstellung mit minimalem Kraftstoffdurchsatz fest, eine zweite Aufhalteraste eine Öffnungsstellung mit einem mittleren Kraftstoffdurchsatz und eine dritte Aufhalteraste eine Öffnungsstellung mit einem maximalen Kraftstoffdurchsatz.Conveniently, a first Aufhalteraste specifies an open position with minimum fuel flow rate, a second Aufhalteraste an open position with a mean fuel flow and a third Aufhalteraste an open position with a maximum fuel flow.

In einer Variante kann vorgesehen sein, daß das Arretierelement als ein an dem Schalthebel linear beweglich geführter Arretierstößel ausgebildet ist, der über zwei an einem gemeinsamen Gelenkpunkt verbundene, federbelastete Hebelelemente in einer bestimmten Öffnungsstellung des Schalthebels in eine Arretierstellung bringbar ist, in der er mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem Zapfventilgehäuse zusammenwirkt.In a variant it can be provided that the locking element is designed as a linearly movably guided on the shift lever Arretierstößel which is connected via two connected to a common pivot point, spring-loaded lever elements in a specific open position of the shift lever in a locking position, in which he indirectly or interacts directly with the nozzle housing.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen, wobei auf eine Zeichnung Bezug genommen ist, in der

  • Fig. 1 einen Ausschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Zapfventils zeigt,
  • Fig. 2 das Zapfventil nach Fig. 1 in einer anderen Schalthebelstellung zeigt, und
  • Fig. 3 eine Variante des Zapfventils nach Fig. 1 zeigt.
Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments, reference being made to a drawing in which
  • Fig. 1 shows a detail of a dispensing valve according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 the nozzle after Fig. 1 in another gear lever position shows, and
  • Fig. 3 a variant of the nozzle after Fig. 1 shows.

Fig. 1 und 2 erläutern die Erfindung anhand eines automatischen Zapfventils für die Abgabe von Kraftstoffen an Tankstellen ("Zapfpistole"), wobei in der Zeichnung nur ein Teilbereich eines derartigen Zapfventils in einer schematischen Schnittansicht dargestellt ist. Man erkennt ein Zapfventilgehäuse 2 mit einem Zapfschlauchanschluß 4, einem mit dem Zapfventilgehäuse fest verbundenen Bügel 6 und einem innerhalb eines von dem Bügel 6 umschlossenen Bereichs schwenkbar gelagerten Schalthebel 8. Der Schalthebel 8 ist in an sich bekannter Weise von Hand zwischen einer Schließstellung, in der keine Kraftstoffabgabe erfolgt, und einer Öffnungsstellung, in der eine Kraftstoffabgabe erfolgt, bewegbar. Eine Rückstellfeder wirkt auf den Schalthebel, so daß dieser bei nachlassender Handkraft selbsttätig in die Schließstellung zurückbewegt wird. Fig. 1 and 2 explain the invention with reference to an automatic dispensing valve for the delivery of fuels at gas stations ("fuel nozzle"), wherein in the drawing, only a portion of such a dispensing valve is shown in a schematic sectional view. It can be seen a nozzle housing 2 with a nozzle connection 4, a fixedly connected to the nozzle body 6 and a lever 6 is pivotally mounted within a region enclosed by the bracket 6 shift lever 8. The shift lever 8 is in a conventional manner by hand between a closed position, in which no fuel delivery, and an open position, in which a fuel delivery takes place, movable. A return spring acts on the shift lever, so that it is automatically moved back into the closed position with decreasing manual force.

Damit während eines Betankungsvorgangs, der mehrere Minuten dauern kann, nicht ständig die Rückstellkraft der Rückstellfeder vom Anwender mit der Hand gehalten werden muß, weist das Zapfventil erfindungsgemäß eine Aufhaltehilfe auf.Thus, during a refueling operation, which may take several minutes, not constantly the restoring force of the return spring by the user must be held by hand, the nozzle according to the invention on a holding aid.

In der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Variante weist die Aufhaltehilfe ein Arretierelement auf, welches als schwenkbarer Hebel 10 ausgebildet ist. Der Hebel 10 weist einen ersten Hebelarm 12 auf, der in Zusammenwirken mit fest mit dem Bügel 6 verbundenen Aufhalterasten 14 kommen kann, sowie einen zweiten Hebelarm 16, der sich in der Nähe des Schalthebels 8 befindet und von einem Benutzer beispielsweise mit dem kleinen Finger einer Hand beaufschlagt werden kann.In the in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated variant, the holding aid on a locking element, which is designed as a pivotable lever 10. The lever 10 has a first lever arm 12, which can come in conjunction with firmly connected to the bracket 6 Aufhalterasten 14, and a second lever arm 16 which is located in the vicinity of the shift lever 8 and by a user, for example, with the little finger of a Hand can be applied.

Der Hebel 10 ist auf einer Schwenkachse 18 an dem Schalthebel 8 schwenkbar gelagert und mittels einer Feder 20 in Richtung auf eine Arretierstellung vorgespannt, in der der Hebel 10 in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.The lever 10 is pivotally mounted on a pivot axis 18 on the shift lever 8 and biased by a spring 20 in the direction of a locking position in which the lever 10 in Fig. 2 is shown.

In dieser Stellung wirkt eine Arretierfläche 22 des Hebels 10, die an dem ersten Hebelarm 12 ausgebildet ist, mit einer Aufhalteraste 14 reib- und formschlüssig zusammen.In this position, a locking surface 22 of the lever 10, which is formed on the first lever arm 12, frictionally and positively together with a Aufhalteraste 14.

Die Arretierfläche 22 ist zweckmäßigerweise hinterschneidungsförmig ausgebildet, um mit einer möglichst geringen Federkraft der Feder 20 und einer geringen zusätzlichen, auf den zweiten Hebelarm 16 des Hebels 10 einwirkenden Handkraft auszukommen, damit der Schalthebel 8 in der gewünschten Öffnungsstellung gehalten wird.The locking surface 22 is advantageously formed undercuts in order to get along with the lowest possible spring force of the spring 20 and a small additional force acting on the second lever arm 16 of the lever 10 hand force, so that the shift lever 8 is held in the desired open position.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen drei Aufhalterasten 14, deren Position so gewählt ist, daß eine erste Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 und 2 unten) eine Öffnungsstellung des Zapfventils festlegt, die einem geringen Kraftstoffdurchsatz entspricht, eine zweite Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 und 2 die mittlere Aufhalteraste) eine Öffnungsstellung festlegt, in der der Schalthebel weiter durchgezogen ist und das Zapfventil einen mittleren Kraftstoffdurchsatz aufweist, während eine dritte Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 und 2 oben) eine Öffnungsstellung festlegt, in der das Zapfventil praktisch vollständig geöffnet ist und ein maximaler Kraftstoffdurchsatz vorhanden ist. Fig. 1 and 2 show three Aufhalterasten 14, whose position is selected so that a first Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 and 2 below) defines an opening position of the dispensing valve, which corresponds to a low fuel flow rate, a second Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 and 2 the center pusher button) defines an open position in which the shift lever is further pulled through and the dispensing valve has a mean fuel flow rate, while a third Aufhalteraste (in Fig. 1 and 2 above) defines an open position in which the dispensing valve is almost completely opened and a maximum fuel flow rate is present.

Der Hebel 10 weist weiterhin eine Lösebetätigungsfläche 24 auf, die bei einer öffnenden Bewegung des Schalthebels (in Fig. 1 und 2 nach oben) jeweils auf einer benachbarten Aufhalteraste entlang gleitet und den Hebel (in Fig. 1 und 2 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn) relativ zum Schalthebel in Richtung auf eine Lösestellung (Fig. 1) verschwenkt, so daß der Schalthebel problemlos in eine beliebige Öffnungsstellung bewegt werden kann.The lever 10 further includes a release actuating surface 24 which upon an opening movement of the shift lever (in Fig. 1 and 2 to the top) slides along on an adjacent pusher button and pushes the lever (in Fig. 1 and 2 counterclockwise) relative to the shift lever in the direction of a release position ( Fig. 1 ), so that the shift lever can be easily moved in any open position.

Wenn die Anordnung so ist, daß die Feder 18 den Hebel 10 in Richtung auf seine Arretierstellung vorspannt, wird dadurch die zum Halten des Schalthebels in einer gewünschten Öffnungsstellung benötigte Handkraft reduziert, ohne daß bereits der zweite Hebelarm 16 des Hebels 10 mit einer Fingerkraft beaufschlagt werden muß. In einer solchen Anordnung kann auf den zweiten Hebelarm 16 auch ganz verzichtet werden. Der Hebelarm 16 ermöglicht allerdings, die zum Aufhalten benötigte Handkraft ganz zu eliminieren, indem der mit dem kleinen Finger o.ä. betätigt wird.If the arrangement is such that the spring 18 biases the lever 10 in the direction of its locking position, the manual force required to hold the shift lever in a desired open position is thereby reduced, without the second lever arm 16 of the lever 10 being acted upon by a finger force got to. In such an arrangement can be completely dispensed with the second lever arm 16. However, the lever arm 16 makes it possible to completely eliminate the hand force required for stopping by the like with the little finger or similar. is pressed.

In einer Anordnung, bei der die Feder 20 den Hebel 10 entgegen der Arretierstellung vorspannt, muß hingegen in einer gewünschten Öffnungsstellung der zweite Hebelarm 16 mit einer Fingerkraft beaufschlagt und der Hebel 10 in Eingriff mit einer Aufhalteraste 14 gebracht werden und in dieser Stellung gehalten werden, um die gewünschte Reduzierung der Aufhaltekraft des Schalthebels zu bewirken. Bei dieser Anordnung könnte auf die Feder 20 verzichtet werden.In an arrangement in which the spring 20 biases the lever 10 against the locking position, however, the second lever arm 16 must be acted upon in a desired open position with a finger and the lever 10 are brought into engagement with a Aufhalteraste 14 and held in this position, to effect the desired reduction in the stopping force of the shift lever. In this arrangement could be dispensed with the spring 20.

In jedem Falle bewegt sich der Schalthebel 8 nach einem Loslassen sogleich selbsttätig in seine Schließstellung (in Fig. 1 und 2 ganz unten), unabhängig davon, ob in der vorangegangenen Öffnungsstellung der Hebel 10 in Eingriff mit einer Aufhalteraste war oder nicht. Im Falle einer den Hebel in Richtung Arretierstellung vorspannenden Feder ist diese schwächer ausgelegt als die durch die auf den Schalthebel wirkende Rückstellfeder ausgeübte, den Hebel zurückstellende Kraft, so daß der Hebel 10 den Schalthebel 8 keinesfalls ohne Einwirkung einer zusätzlichen Handkraft offen hält.In any case, the shift lever 8 moves immediately after a release automatically in its closed position (in Fig. 1 and 2 at the bottom), regardless of whether in the previous open position, the lever 10 was in engagement with a Aufhalteraste or not. In the case of a spring biasing the lever in the direction of locking this is designed weaker than the force exerted by acting on the shift lever return spring, the lever restoring force, so that the lever 10, the shift lever 8 holds under any circumstances without the action of an additional manual force.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Variante der Erfindung, bei der das Arretierelement nicht in Form eines schwenkbaren Hebels, sondern in Form eines linear beweglich geführten Arretierstößels 28 ausgebildet ist. Der Arretierstößel 28 ist an einem ersten, von dem Schalthebel 8 weg weisenden Endabschnitt 29 zum Zusammenwirken mit einer Gegenfläche des Bügels 6 oder des Zapfventilgehäuses 2 oder mit einer ausgewählten Aufhalteraste ausgebildet. Der Stößel 28 ist an einem dem Schalthebel 8 zugekehrten Endabschnitt gelenkig mit einem ersten Hebelelement 30 verbunden, welches seinerseits an einem Gelenkpunkt 32 mit einem zweiten Hebelelement 34 gelenkig verbunden ist, das seinerseits schwenkbar an dem Schalthebel 8 angelenkt ist. Eine Rückstellfeder 36 wirkt zwischen Schalthebel 8 und Gelenkpunkt 32, um den Arretierstößel 28 in eine Löserichtung 38 vorzuspannen. Fig. 3 shows a variant of the invention, in which the locking element not in the form of a pivotable lever, but in the form of a linearly movable guided locking ram 28th is trained. The locking ram 28 is formed on a first, facing away from the shift lever 8 end portion 29 for cooperation with a mating surface of the bracket 6 or the nozzle housing 2 or with a selected Aufhalteraste. The plunger 28 is connected at an end portion facing the shift lever 8 hingedly connected to a first lever member 30, which in turn is pivotally connected at a hinge point 32 with a second lever member 34, which in turn is pivotally connected to the shift lever 8. A return spring 36 acts between the shift lever 8 and pivot point 32 to bias the locking ram 28 in a release direction 38.

Beim Betätigen des Schwenkhebels 8 kann der Gelenkpunkt 32 bzw. können die beiden benachbarten Hebelelemente 30, 34 in Richtung des Pfeils 40 betätigt werden, um auf diese Weise den Arretierstößel 28 in einer Arretierrichtung 42 zu bewegen und in Eingriff mit einer nicht dargestellten Aufhalteraste oder in reibschlüssigen Eingriff mit einer benachbarten Gegenfläche des Bügels 6 oder des Zapfventilgehäuses 2 zu bringen.When the pivot lever 8 is actuated, the pivot point 32 or the two adjacent lever elements 30, 34 can be actuated in the direction of the arrow 40, in this way to move the locking ram 28 in a locking direction 42 and into engagement with a restraining key (not shown) to bring frictional engagement with an adjacent mating surface of the bracket 6 or the nozzle housing 2.

Auch in diesem Falle stellt sich der Arretierstößel 28 nach Lösen der Handkraft durch die Feder 36 in Richtung 44 automatisch zurück und gibt den Schalthebel 8 zur Zurückbewegung in seine Schließstellung frei.Also in this case, the Arretierstößel 28 automatically returns after releasing the manual force by the spring 36 in the direction 44 and releases the shift lever 8 to return to its closed position.

Der Arretierstößel 28 als solcher kann in sich als federbelastetes Element ausgebildet sein, wobei ein von dem Gelenkpunkt 32 weg weisender Endabschnitt 29 eine Auflaufschräge aufweisen kann, damit auch bei in Richtung 42 durchgedrücktem Gelenkpunkt 32 der Schalthebel 8 ungehindert in Richtung auf eine Öffnungsstellung bewegt werden kann, wobei der Arretierstößel aufgrund der Auflaufschräge über eine oder mehrere Aufhalterasten hinweg gleiten kann und erst in einer gewünschten, bestimmten Öffnungsstellung hinter einer dort befindlichen Aufhalteraste gegen diese zur Anlage kommt und den Schalthebel bei gedrückt gehaltenem Gelenkpunkt 32 aufhält.As such, the locking ram 28 may be configured as a spring-loaded element, wherein an end portion 29 pointing away from the hinge point 32 may have a ramp, so that even when pushed through in direction 42 pivot point 32 of the lever 8 can be moved freely in the direction of an open position , The locking ram can slide over one or more Aufhalterestößel due to the ramp above and only comes in a desired, certain opening position behind a pawl located there against this to the plant and the shift lever stops at the pivot point 32 is held.

Die Hebelelemente 30, 34 sind ersichtlich so angeordnet, daß eine Art Kniegelenk gebildet wird, welches bei einer auf den Gelenkpunkt 32 einwirkenden Handkraft eine deutlich größere auf den Arretierstößel 28 wirkende Kraft erzeugt.The lever elements 30, 34 are seen to be arranged so that a kind of knee joint is formed, which generates a significantly greater force acting on the locking ram 28 in a force acting on the hinge point 32 hand force.
