Definitions
- the present invention relates to nozzles for delivering fluid to a storage tank.
- the invention relates to nozzles for delivering liquids from the storage tank of a road tanker.
- an operative couples a nozzle of a delivery fuel delivery hose to an inlet of the storage tank to be filled and commences delivery of fluid from the road tanker.
- An overspill device mounted to the storage tank is arranged to provide a signal to the operative and/or a controller of the road tanker when the tank is full of liquid. The supply of liquid to the nozzle is then terminated.
- US 5 131 441 discloses a fluid dispensing nozzle including a transducer pressure switch 41 coupled to a tube 42.
- a transducer pressure switch 41 coupled to a tube 42.
- the rise of the fluid level to above the end 43 of tube 42 causes an air pressure within the tube 42 to close low pressure switch 53 (part of the transducer pressure switch 41) which in turn energizes a relay 54 to open a switch 55, interrupting power to a magnetic clutch coil 36 and consequently stopping the fluid flow.
- Tube 42 extends within spout 15 of the fluid dispensing nozzle.
- the end 43 of tube 42 does not however extend to the open end of spout 15 and terminates prior to this point.
- US 3 259 154 discloses apparatus for dispensing fluid with the object of positively presenting untimely delivery of said fluid.
- the device comprises an air tube 6 with an open end 5 located within an insertion end 22 of the nozzle.
- the other end 8 of tube 6 opens into a vacuum chamber 24 whose lower wall is formed by a pressure-responsive member of piston 17 having the shape of a diaphragm.
- the open end of tube 6 is obstructed by surrounding liquid, the reduced pressure in chamber 24 raises the diaphragm 17 which, through the action of a valve (44), ultimately results in the prevention of fluid flow through the nozzle (see column 2, lines 61 to 70).
- the open end 5 of air tube 6 extends through a side wall of the insertion end or spout 22.
- a nozzle assembly operable to deliver fluid to a tank to be filled and to sense a level of fluid in the tank, the assembly having a fluid outlet and a sensor portion, the sensor portion comprising a pressure sensor provided in fluid communication with a sensor conduit, the sensor conduit having a sensor conduit aperture provided therein, the assembly being operable in use whereby when a level of liquid in the tank being filled rises above a level of the sensor conduit aperture, the sensor conduit aperture is closed by the liquid and a pressure of gas trapped in the sensor conduit increases thereby indicating a 'tank full' condition, the assembly being arranged to detect the increase in pressure of gas and to generate a pressure increase signal indicative of the increase in pressure when the increase in pressure is detected, wherein the nozzle assembly is characterised in that the sensor conduit is arranged to project from an open end of the fluid outlet.
- Embodiments of the invention have the advantage that a tank into which fluid is being delivered does not require an overspill device. This is because the nozzle of the present invention is arranged to prevent over-filling of the tank by terminating the supply of fluid to the tank before the tank overflows with liquid.
- the pressure sensor may be arranged to measure the pressure of gas trapped in the sensor conduit, the assembly being arranged to transmit a signal indicative of the pressure of gas in the sensor conduit, this signal being indicative of the increase in pressure when such an increase occurs.

- the pressure sensor is in fluid communication with the interior of the sensor conduit by means of a gas tight hose coupled to the sensor wherein a remainder of the interior of the cavity is in fluid isolation from the interior of the sensor conduit.
- the cavity is accessible from an outer surface of the assembly.
- the assembly comprises an RF transmitter, the assembly being arranged to transmit a presence signal indicating that the RF transmitter of the assembly is functioning correctly.
- the assembly may be arranged to transmit the presence signal substantially continuously.
- the assembly may be preferably arranged to transmit the presence signal at prescribed periodic intervals.

- a fuel delivery nozzle assembly 100 maybe provided as shown in FIG. 1 having a spout 110 and a handle portion 120.
- the handle portion 120 is arranged to permit handling of the nozzle assembly 100 by an operative.
- the spout 110 has a liquid level sensor 130 provided therein.
- the level sensor 130 is arranged to provide an alert in the event that the spout 110 of the nozzle assembly 100 becomes immersed in liquid, such as when a level of liquid in a tank being filled reaches the nozzle assembly 100.
- the level sensor 130 has a tubular member 132 oriented substantially coaxially of the spout 110. In some embodiments the level sensor 130 is provided away from an axis of the spout 110. In some embodiments the level sensor 130 is provided in juxtaposition with an inner wall 111 of the spout 110. Other arrangements are also useful.
- FIG. 2 shows the embodiment of FIG. 1 in cross-section.
- a pressure sensor 134 is provided within the tubular member 132 near a closed end 133 of the tubular member 132 upstream from an open end 138 of the tubular member 132.
- the open end is provided substantially in the same plane as that of an outlet 11OA of the spout 110.
- the nozzle assembly as illustrated in FIG 2 is not in accordance with the invention.
- the module is arranged to transmit an RF signal indicative of a 'tank-full' condition when a pressure of gas in the tubular member 132 rises by a predetermined amount relative to an ambient atmospheric pressure.
- the predetermined amount corresponds to a condition in which a level of liquid in a liquid tank being filled reaches a free end 138 of the tubular member 132 whereby the free end 138 becomes closed.
- Such a condition is illustrated in FIG. 3 where the free end 11OA of the spout 110 and free end 138 of the tubular member have both become closed by liquid forming a seal 141 proximate the free end 138.
- the spout 110 and the tubular member 132 are formed from a material through which RF radiation may readily pass.

- FIG. 5 shows a nozzle assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the invention having a removable spout 310.
- the spout 310 is arranged to couple to a body portion 302 of the nozzle assembly 300.
- the spout 310 is arranged to couple to the body portion 302 by means of a BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread coupling 355, such as a 2 inch BSP thread coupling.
- BSP British Standard Pipe
- FIG. 5(a) shows a cross-sectional view of a spout 310 coupled to a body portion 302 and FIG. 5(b) shows a corresponding external view.
- FIG. 5(c) shows a cross-sectional view from a direction perpendicular to that of FIG. 5(a) and shows a lower gallery 303 of the body portion 302 by means of which a cavity 305 formed in a side of the body portion is provided in fluid communication with an inside of the tubular member 332 of the level sensor 330.
- the cavity 305 is arranged to receive a printed circuit board (PCB) 360 having a pressure sensor 363 mounted thereto ( FIG. 8 ).
- PCB printed circuit board
- the pressure sensor 363 is coupled to a hose 365 whereby the pressure sensor 363 is provided in fluid (and pressure) isolation from the remainder of the cavity.
- the hose is in turn coupled to the interior of the tubular member 332 whereby the pressure sensor 363 is provided in fluid (and pressure) communication with the level sensor 330.
- the pressure sensor 363 is arranged to detect an increase in pressure of gas trapped in the tubular member 332 when a level of fluid rises above the free end 338 of the tubular member 332 when the assembly 300 is used in the orientation shown in FIG. 3 .
- a secondary cavity 305A is provided on a diametrically opposite side of the body portion 302 to the cavity 305, the secondary cavity 305A being arranged to contain a power source such as a battery cell.
- An upper gallery 306 connects the cavity 405 and secondary cavity 305A to allow electrical wires to pass therebetween carrying power from the battery cell to the PCB.
- FIG. 6 shows the embodiment of FIG. 5 with the spout 310 removed.
- Removal of the spout 310 of the nozzle assembly 300 allows the assembly 300 to be coupled to a tank to be filled, for example using the same BSP thread coupling by which the spout 310 may be attached to the body portion 302. Coupling of the nozzle assembly 300 directly to the tank has the advantage that an operative does not need to hold the nozzle assembly 300 during a filling operation.
- the tubular member 332 of the level sensor 330 is formed from a flexible material. As shown in FIG. 7 , the tubular member 332 has a flexible braid provided around an outside thereof.
- tubular member 332 is arranged to be decoupled from the nozzle assembly 300. Decoupling may be performed for example when it is required to replace or repair the tubular member 332.
- the tubular member 332 of the level sensor 330 is arranged to couple to the nozzle assembly 300 by means of a dry break seal.
- the interior volume of the assembly that is in fluid communication with the tubular member 332 e.g. the lower gallery 303 is arranged to be provided in fluid isolation from fluid being delivered to a tank.
- Such a configuration may be useful for example in the case where delivery of fuel is made to a tank 590 ( FIG. 9 ) via a fill pipe 592 which is arranged in use to be flooded with liquid.
- the fill pipe 592 runs from an inlet 594 which is at or near near ground level upwards to an opening in the tank on an upper surface of the tank 590.
- Provision of the inlet 594 at or near ground level allows an operative to fill the tank without climbing to the top of the tank thereby reducing a level of danger to which the operative is exposed.
- the vertical portion of the fill pipe 592 rising from the inlet 594 may remain filled with fluid following a filling operation.
- the operative Before an operative couples the nozzle assembly 300 to the inlet 594 the operative removes the tubular member 332 of the level sensor 330 whereupon the dry break seal seals the coupling to the nozzle assembly 300 such that liquid cannot enter the lower gallery 303.
- the dry break seal essential provides a seal to render the pressure sensor 363 no longer in fluid communication with fluid being delivered from the assembly 300.
- an inlet to a fluid storage tank is provided at an upper level of a tank and the inlet is provided with a fill pipe having a bend portion such that fluid flowing into the tank flows down the bend portion.
- a level sensor 330 having a flexible tubular member 332 for example in the form of a flexible hose has the advantage that the level sensor can bend with the bend portion if the spout is removed thereby facilitating insertion of the tubular member 332 into the tank.
- FIG. 10 shows such an arrangement in which a nozzle assembly 400 with spout removed has been coupled directly to an inlet 492 of a liquid storage tank 490.
- removal of the spout allows direct coupling of the nozzle assembly 400 to an inlet of the tank 490 using the same BSP screw thread coupling by which a spout may be coupled to the body portion 402 of the nozzle assembly.
- the assembly 400 is arranged to allow the nozzle assembly 400 to be coupled to the tank inlet 492 with a spout still connected to the body portion 402.
- tubular member 432 of the assembly 400 bends as it enters the storage tank 490 by impingement against a wall of the inlet 492 whereby a free end of the tubular member 432 is disposed to be directed downwards. It is to be understood that the tubular member 432 is thereby usefully positioned to sense when a level of fluid in the tank has sealed the opening in the free end 438 of the tubular member 432.
- a nozzle assembly is provided without a spout and with no coupling for a spout.
- FIG. 11 shows a filling operation in which a liquid storage tank 190 is being filled with liquid from a tanker 160.
- the tanker 160 has a tanker controller 165 arranged to receive control signals from a portable control module 170 carried by an operative 175.
- a nozzle assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the invention is provided at a free end of a fluid delivery hose 166 coupled to a liquid outlet of the tanker 160.
- the nozzle 100 is arranged to transmit an RF signal indicative of a 'tank full' condition to the portable control module 170 when the 'tank full' condition is detected.
- the portable control module 170 is operable by the operative 175 to start and stop a flow of fluid through the nozzle assembly 100 from the tanker 160.
- the portable control module 170 is arranged to transmit a signal to a tanker controller 165 when the 'tank full' signal is received from the nozzle assembly 100 thereby instructing the tanker controller 165 to terminate a supply of fluid to the nozzle assembly 100.
- the nozzle assembly 100 is configured to transmit an RF signal directly to the tanker controller 165 instead of or in addition to the control module 170.
- the nozzle assembly 100 is arranged to transmit a presence signal to the portable control module 170 either continuously or periodically. In some embodiments the presence signal is only transmitted when a delivery of fluid is in progress.
- the portable control module 170 fails to detect the presence signal transmitted by the nozzle assembly 100, the portable control module 170 is arranged to transmit a fluid flow termination signal to the tanker controller 165 upon receipt of which the supply of fluid to the nozzle assembly 100 is terminated.
- the portable control module 170 is in turn arranged to transmit a presence signal either continuously or periodically. In the event that the tanker controller 165 fails to detect the presence signal transmitted by the portable control module 170, the tanker controller 165 terminates the supply of fluid to the nozzle 100 assembly.
- the nozzle assembly 100 is arranged to transmit a presence signal directly to the tanker controller 165.
- the signal may be transmitted continuously or periodically in a similar manner to that described above.
- the signal may be transmitted continuously or periodically when a filling operation is in progress as described above.
- the assembly 300 is provided with a fluid flow sensor arrangement for sensing when fluid is being dispensed through the assembly.
- FIG. 12 illustrates such an embodiment.
- the sensor arrangement has a hinged flap member 370 that is coupled to an axle 372, the axle being rotatable such that rotation of the flap member 372 causes rotation of the axle 372.
- the flap member 370 is operable to rotate between a first position in which the flap member 370 is arranged to project into a stream of fluid being dispensed by the assembly 300 and a second position in which the flap member 370 lies in a feathered condition where the flap member 370 does not project into the stream of fluid (or projects to a lesser extent into the stream of fluid).
- a lever member 373 is also coupled to the axle 372 and projects therefrom in a direction normal to the axis of rotation of the axle 372. With the flap member 370 in the first condition the lever member is arranged to actuate a microswitch 374. With the flap member 370 in the second condition the lever member releases the microswitch 374 which is thereby no longer in an actuated condition.
- a bias member 376 in the form of a coil spring is arranged to bias the flap member 370 to the first position.
- the assembly 300 is arranged such that in the event that dispensing of fluid is commenced through the assembly 300, the flap member 370 is caused to rotate against the influence of the bias member 376 whereupon the microswitch 374 becomes no longer actuated.
- a controller provided with the assembly 300 thereby detects that delivery of fluid has commenced and transmits a signal to the tanker controller 165 (in some embodiments via the portable control module 170 where such a module is provided) indicative of the fact that delivery of fluid is in progress.
- the fluid flow sensor is actuated and a signal transmitted to the tanker controller 165 as described above.
- the tanker controller 165 may be arranged such that if the signal from the fluid flow sensor is not received within a prescribed time limit from commencement of delivery of fluid the tanker terminates supply of fluid to the assembly 300.
- communication between the nozzle assembly and the tanker controller 165 is such that the nozzle assembly and tanker controller 165 transmit presence signals to and fro repeatedly. If either the nozzle assembly or the tanker controller 165 fail to detect one another within a prescribed period of time dispensing of fluid is terminated. Alternatively or in addition an alert may be triggered.
