Definitions
- the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine having the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the fuel vapors produced in the fuel tank of the motor vehicle are adsorbed in a fuel vapor accumulator, which is usually an activated charcoal canister.
- the Kraftstoffdämp- fe Grande is connected via a connecting line (vent line) to the air intake tract of the internal combustion engine.
- vent line In the vent line is a tank vent valve through which the fuel vapor accumulator can either be connected to the intake tract or separated from it. From time to time the fuel vapor storage loaded with fuel vapors must be regenerated. This is done by the tank venting valve is opened, the absorbed fuel vapors flow from the fuel vapor storage in the intake and the combustion process of the
- a start / stop function in which the engine is stopped when the vehicle is stationary
- the use of hybrid drives in which the idling almost completely and a part-load operation are largely avoided
- a power control of the engine via a variable valve train in which the Function of the throttle largely or even completely eliminated.
- An internal combustion engine with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from JP 2002 115 605 A.
- a scavenging air pump is arranged in the ventilation line for the fuel vapor accumulator, which acts on the fuel vapor storage for cleaning the same with purge air.
- the purge pump and the valve unit for controlling the ventilation of the fuel vapor accumulator are arranged separately from each other.
- an adsorption filter for fuel vapor is known, in which at the output of the filter, a ventilation device is arranged, which sucks the gasoline vapor through the adsorption filter during refueling.
- the ventilation device can be designed as an attachable to the filter assembly.
- a leak detection system is known in which a pump pressurizes the tested vapor emission space during a test.
- This pump can be formed together with a valve as a unit here.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an internal combustion engine of the type specified, in which a particularly good cleaning of the fuel vapor storage can be ensured at low cost.
- a purge air pump is thus used to clean or rinse the fuel vapor storage, which generates a sufficiently large pressure difference, so that in addition to the negative pressure of the air intake tract or instead of such a negative pressure a largely unproblematic cleaning or flushing of the fuel vapor storage can be performed with the help of supplied ambient air is performed.
- the purge pump used in the invention is integrated into the already used to control the ventilation of the fuel vapor storage valve unit, fall through the arrangement of the pump less additional costs, since the cost of the pump itself, the cabling and the cost of installation and gas connections can be reduced. Since the pump does not require its own housing due to the integration in the valve unit, in particular only costs for the impeller fall the pump and its drive (electric motor).
- valve unit and purge pump have a common housing and form a structural unit, so that the additional expense for the arrangement of the purge air pump can be largely reduced, as explained above.
- Such a valve unit has a valve body which cooperates with a valve seat and, when lifted from the valve seat, establishes a connection between the ventilation line and the environment so that ambient air can flow into the ventilation line.
- the closing of the valve is preferably effected via a spring which presses the valve body against the valve seat again when a corresponding pressure equalization is achieved.
- the purge pump is arranged according to the invention in extension of the purge air in the vent line controlling valve body.
- the axis of an impeller of the scavenge pump in extension of the axis of
- Valve body arranged, and the drive (electric motor) of the pump is located on the opposite side of the valve body of the impeller.
- the valve unit disposed in the vent line for the fuel vapor storage it may additionally serve to control the vent for controlling the ventilation of the fuel vapor accumulator (and thus the fuel tank).
- the scavenge pump preferably has a Elek tromotor, which further favors the realization of a cost-effective and simple solution.
- a simple radial pump is used whose impeller can be integrated in a particularly simple manner in the valve housing.
- valve assembly if used to control the venting of the fuel vapor accumulator (and thus the fuel tank), it will additionally include a control that mechanically lifts the valve body from the seat to vent the fuel vapor accumulator.
- This control is formed in a specific embodiment as a membrane. The membrane is acted upon by a control chamber into which a branch of the vent line opens. Therefore, if an overpressure prevails in the ventilation line, the overpressure present in the control chamber pushes the membrane against the valve body and lifts it off the seat, so that the ventilation line can be vented to the environment.
- Such a valve unit is particularly well suited for the integration of a purge air pump, in particular a simple radial pump. Since the required pressure difference for a sufficient volume flow in the order of 50 1 / h only has to be about 50 mbar, a diameter similar to the control element (the diaphragm) of this valve unit can be selected for the radial pump, so that the integration of the pump function leads to a very cheap design.
- the scavenge pump is integrated in the central valve unit of a valve system used for ventilation and on the detector, which under the name NVLD (Natural Vacuum Leak Detection) is on the market.
- NVLD Natural Vacuum Leak Detection
- the central component of this system is ideally suited to take over the pump function as well.

- a vent valve 5 is arranged to the air intake tract 7 of the internal combustion engine 6 from.
- a vent line 10 is connected to the fuel vapor accumulator 2, which leads to a valve unit 11 which controls the ventilation of the fuel vapor accumulator 2 and thus of the fuel tank 1.
- the system shown in Figure 1 belongs to the prior art.
- the fuel vapors accumulate in the fuel Damping memory 2 and are absorbed by the arranged in the memory activated carbon.
- the vent valve 5 is opened, so that a connection between the fuel vapor accumulator and the Heilanansaug Consumer 7 of the internal combustion engine is made.
- the negative pressure in the air intake tract 7 and the ventilation line 10 with open valve unit 11 nachströmende ambient air of the fuel vapor reservoir 2 is purged or regenerated, wherein the discharged into the air intake tract 7 fuel vapors are also burned.
- FIG. 2 shows the valve unit 11 in an enlarged sectional illustration and in the opened state serving for ventilating the fuel vapor accumulator 2 and thus of the fuel tank 1.
- the valve unit 11 has a housing in which a control chamber 18 and an air chamber 15 are arranged, which are separated by a control in the form of a membrane 17.
- the control chamber 18 is connected via a branch 12 with the ventilation line 10 in connection.
- An upwardly and downwardly movable valve body 13 cooperates with a valve seat 16 and closes and opens a connection between the air chamber 15 and the vent line 10.
- the valve body 13 is opened by a pressure difference between the air chamber 15 and the vent line 10, as shown in FIG because the pressure in the air chamber 15 filled with ambient air is greater than the pressure in the ventilation line 10.
- the valve unit 11 may also have other functions that will not be described at this point.
- the invention takes advantage of the presence of this valve unit 11 and integrates a purge pump into the valve unit to provide improved purging or regeneration of the fuel vapor accumulator, in particular when sufficient negative pressure is not provided by the air intake tract 7 of the internal combustion engine.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a fuel system which essentially corresponds to that of FIG. 1 and in which
- Valve unit in the ventilation line 10 a scavenge pump is integrated.
- This valve unit with integrated scavenge pump is provided with the reference numeral 20.
- the valve unit 20 opens the connection between the air chamber 15 and the vent line 10 and the purge air pump is put into operation, so that the fuel vapor accumulator 2 is exposed to ambient air.
- FIG. 4 shows the combined valve / purging air pump unit 20.
- the valve unit is in this case designed substantially exactly like the unit shown in FIG.
