Description

本発明は、ガス充填システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a gas filling system.

従来からタクシーなど一部の車両においては、その燃料として自動車燃料用液化石油ガス、すなわち、LPGが用いられている。
このような車両にLPGを充填する装置においてガス充填のためにポンプを使用する場合には、法令により、所定の資格者が要求され、また、当該装置の設置のために相当な広さの敷地が必要となってしまうことから、出願人は、ポンプを使用しないLPG充填装置を開発し、既に実施に供している。
Conventionally, in some vehicles such as taxis, liquefied petroleum gas for automobile fuel, that is, LPG is used as the fuel.
In the case of using a pump for gas filling in an apparatus for filling LPG in such a vehicle, a predetermined qualified person is required by law, and a site of a considerable area for installation of the apparatus. Therefore, the applicant has developed an LPG filling apparatus that does not use a pump and has already put it into practice.

充填ポンプを使用しない上記LPG充填装置を簡単に説明すると、同装置は、車両の燃料タンクに充填すべき、自動車燃料用液化石油ガスであるブタン、或いは、ブタンを主成分として、これにプロパンを混合させた混合物(本願では、便宜上、単に「ブタン」と呼ぶ)を収容する燃料収容タンクと、液化プロパンを収容する加圧用ガス収容タンクとを有する。   The LPG filling apparatus that does not use a filling pump will be briefly described. This apparatus is mainly composed of butane, which is a liquefied petroleum gas for automobile fuel, which is to be filled in a fuel tank of a vehicle, or butane as a main component. It has a fuel storage tank for storing a mixed mixture (in this application, simply called “butane” for convenience) and a pressurization gas storage tank for storing liquefied propane.

これらのタンクは第1導管によって連結され、燃料収容タンクの内部、底部付近から第2導管が燃料収容タンクの外部に延び、第2導管の先端部には、車両の燃料タンクに接続するための燃料供給ノズルが設けられている。   These tanks are connected by a first conduit, a second conduit extends from the inside and near the bottom of the fuel storage tank to the outside of the fuel storage tank, and the tip of the second conduit is connected to the fuel tank of the vehicle. A fuel supply nozzle is provided.

この充填ポンプを使用しないLPG充填装置では、加圧用ガス収容タンクに収容される液化プロパンの飽和蒸気圧が、燃料収容タンクに収容されている液化ブタンの飽和蒸気圧よりも高いので、加圧用ガス収容タンクのガスは燃料収容タンクに流入し、燃料収容タンク内の液体燃料を下方に付勢する。その結果、燃料収容タンク内の液体燃料は、第2導管を通り、燃料供給ノズルを介して車両の燃料タンクに充填されることになる。   In the LPG filling apparatus that does not use this filling pump, the saturated vapor pressure of liquefied propane stored in the pressurizing gas storage tank is higher than the saturated vapor pressure of liquefied butane stored in the fuel storage tank. The gas in the storage tank flows into the fuel storage tank and urges the liquid fuel in the fuel storage tank downward. As a result, the liquid fuel in the fuel storage tank passes through the second conduit and is filled into the fuel tank of the vehicle via the fuel supply nozzle.

ところで、温度の上昇などにより車両の燃料タンク内の圧力が高まってしまうことがあるけれども、この場合、充填ポンプを使用しない上述したLPG充填装置においては、車両の燃料タンクと加圧ガス収容タンクのガスとの差圧が低下してしまうことになるので、燃料を車両の燃料タンクに充填し難くなってしまう。   By the way, although the pressure in the fuel tank of the vehicle may increase due to an increase in temperature or the like, in this case, in the above-described LPG filling device that does not use the filling pump, the fuel tank of the vehicle and the pressurized gas storage tank Since the differential pressure with the gas is lowered, it becomes difficult to fill the fuel tank of the vehicle with fuel.

上記LPG充填システムは、前記ボイラの燃料を収容する予備燃料収容手段と、該予備燃料収容手段と前記供給管手段とを連通させる予備燃料供給導管手段と、前記ガス回収収容手段及び予備燃料収容手段の少なくとも一方を前記ボイラと連通させるための弁手段とを有する、のが好ましく、前記弁手段は、通常、前記ガス回収収容手段を前記ボイラに連通させ、前記ガス回収収容手段内の前記回収ガスが所定量まで減ったときに、自動的に予備燃料供給導管手段を前記ボイラに連通させるようになっている、のが更に好ましい。 The LPG filling system includes: a preliminary fuel storage unit that stores fuel for the boiler; a preliminary fuel supply conduit unit that communicates the preliminary fuel storage unit with the supply pipe unit; the gas recovery storage unit and the preliminary fuel storage unit Preferably, the valve means for communicating at least one of the gas with the boiler, the valve means normally communicates the gas recovery housing means with the boiler, and the recovered gas in the gas recovery storage means. There when decreased to a predetermined amount, automatically also the preliminary fuel supply conduit means adapted to communicate with the said boiler, and even more preferably.

上記LPG充填システムはまた、前記第1導管手段と前記供給管手段とを連通させる予備燃料供給導管手段と、前記ガス回収収容手段及び前記加圧用ガス収容手段の少なくとも一方を前記ボイラと連通させるための弁手段を有し、前記加圧用ガス収容手段から前記ボイラに供給された前記加圧用ガスが前記ボイラの燃料として使用される、のが好ましく、前記弁手段は、通常、前記ガス回収収容手段を前記ボイラに連通させ、前記ガス回収収容手段内の前記回収ガスが所定量まで減ったときに、自動的に前記加圧用ガス収容手段を前記ボイラに連通させるようになっている、のが更に好ましい。 The LPG filling system also communicates at least one of the preliminary fuel supply conduit means for communicating the first conduit means and the supply pipe means, the gas recovery accommodating means, and the pressurizing gas accommodating means with the boiler. It is preferable that the pressurization gas supplied to the boiler from the pressurization gas storage means is used as fuel for the boiler, and the valve means is usually the gas recovery storage means. Is connected to the boiler, and when the recovered gas in the gas recovery and storage means is reduced to a predetermined amount, the pressurization gas storage means is also automatically connected to the boiler.

Since the pressure of the second gas in the storage means can be increased by the heating mechanism, the differential pressure between the second gas in the second storage means and the gas in the storage means such as the cylinder can be set to Even if the pressure in the containment means has increased, it helps to maintain.

上記構成による本発明のLPG充填システムでは、加圧ガス用収容手段の加圧用ガスによって燃料収容手段の液化石油ガスを第2導管手段を介して車両の燃料タンクに充填するに当たって、加圧ガス用収容手段の加圧用ガスの圧力を加熱機構によって昇圧させることができるので、加圧ガス用収容手段の加圧用ガスと車両の燃料タンク内のガスとの差圧を、たとえ車両の燃料タンク内の圧力が高まってしまっている場合でも、維持するのに役立つ。また、車両の燃料タンクから回収された回収ガスを収容するガス回収収容手段を加熱機構のボイラに連通させたので、回収ガスをボイラの燃料としてボイラに供給することができ、ボイラの燃料源を別個に設けることを不要とすることができる。   In the LPG filling system of the present invention having the above-described configuration, when the liquefied petroleum gas in the fuel storage means is filled into the fuel tank of the vehicle through the second conduit means by the pressurization gas in the pressurized gas storage means, Since the pressure of the pressurizing gas in the housing means can be increased by the heating mechanism, the differential pressure between the pressurizing gas in the pressurized gas housing means and the gas in the fuel tank of the vehicle can be reduced even in the fuel tank of the vehicle. Helps maintain even if pressure has increased. In addition, since the gas recovery storage means for storing the recovered gas recovered from the fuel tank of the vehicle is connected to the boiler of the heating mechanism, the recovered gas can be supplied to the boiler as the boiler fuel, and the boiler fuel source can be It is unnecessary to provide them separately.

同様に、上記LPG充填システムにおいて、加圧ガス用収容手段とガス回収収容手段とを選択的にボイラと連通させるための弁手段とを設けた場合には、ガス回収収容手段のガスがなくなった場合でも加圧ガス用収容手段のガスをボイラの燃料としてボイラに供給することによってボイラを作動し続けることができる。また、弁手段を自動的に切り換えるようにすることによってボイラを安定的に作動し続けることができる。   Similarly, in the above LPG filling system, when the pressurized gas storage means and the gas recovery storage means are provided with valve means for selectively communicating with the boiler, the gas in the gas recovery storage means is exhausted. Even in such a case, it is possible to continue operating the boiler by supplying the gas in the pressurized gas storage means to the boiler as fuel for the boiler. In addition, the boiler can be stably operated by automatically switching the valve means.

以下、添付図面を参照して、本発明の実施形態について説明する。この実施形態は、本発明を、LPG充填システムに適用したものである。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to an LPG filling system.

図1を参照すると、本発明の第1実施形態によるLPG充填システムが参照番号1で示されている。   Referring to FIG. 1, an LPG filling system according to a first embodiment of the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 1.

LPG充填システム1は、背景技術の項で説明した、充填ポンプを使用しないLPG充填装置と同様なガス充填構造を有する。すなわち、LPG充填システム1は、自動車燃料用液化石油ガス(ブタン)を収容する燃料収容タンク2と、液化プロパンを収容する加圧用ガス収容タンク3と、タンク2、3を連結する第1導管4と、燃料収容タンクの内部、底部付近から燃料収容タンク2の外部に延びる第2導管5と、第2導管5の先端部に設けられた、車両の燃料タンク(図示せず)に接続する燃料供給ノズル6とを有する。   The LPG filling system 1 has a gas filling structure similar to that of the LPG filling apparatus that does not use the filling pump described in the background art section. That is, the LPG filling system 1 includes a fuel storage tank 2 that stores liquefied petroleum gas (butane) for automobile fuel, a pressurization gas storage tank 3 that stores liquefied propane, and a first conduit 4 that connects the tanks 2 and 3. And a second conduit 5 extending from the inside and near the bottom of the fuel storage tank to the outside of the fuel storage tank 2 and a fuel connected to a fuel tank (not shown) of the vehicle provided at the tip of the second conduit 5 And a supply nozzle 6.

第1導管4には、燃料収容タンク2に隣接して第1開閉弁10が、また、加圧用ガス収容タンクに隣接して第2開閉弁11が設けられている。第2導管5には、燃料収容タンク2に隣接して第3開閉弁12が設けられ、燃料供給ノズル6に隣接して3方弁13が設けられている。   The first conduit 4 is provided with a first on-off valve 10 adjacent to the fuel storage tank 2 and a second on-off valve 11 adjacent to the pressurization gas storage tank. The second conduit 5 is provided with a third on-off valve 12 adjacent to the fuel storage tank 2 and a three-way valve 13 adjacent to the fuel supply nozzle 6.

3方弁13の第1連結口には第2導管5が接続され、3方弁13の第2連結口には燃料供給ノズル6が接続され、3方弁13の第3連結口には第3導管20の第1端部が接続されている。   The second conduit 5 is connected to the first connecting port of the three-way valve 13, the fuel supply nozzle 6 is connected to the second connecting port of the three-way valve 13, and the third connecting port of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the third connecting port. The first end of the three conduits 20 is connected.

LPG充填システム1のガス充填原理は、背景技術の項で説明したLPG充填装置におけるのと同じである。すなわち、燃料収容タンク2の燃料を車両の燃料タンクに供給するときには、第1導管4の第1開閉弁10及び第2開閉弁11、第2導管5の第3開閉弁13を開放すると共に、3方弁13の第1連結口及び第2連結口を開放する(第1連結口と第2連結口とを連通させる)。尚、これらの弁10〜12の開閉は、これら夫々を手動により操作できるように構成しても良いし、例えば、弁10〜12をエアーコンプレッサーからの圧縮空気によって切り換えられるようにすることによって自動化しても良い。   The gas filling principle of the LPG filling system 1 is the same as that in the LPG filling apparatus described in the background art section. That is, when supplying the fuel in the fuel storage tank 2 to the fuel tank of the vehicle, the first on-off valve 10 and the second on-off valve 11 of the first conduit 4 and the third on-off valve 13 of the second conduit 5 are opened, The first connection port and the second connection port of the three-way valve 13 are opened (the first connection port and the second connection port are communicated). The opening and closing of these valves 10 to 12 may be configured so that each of them can be operated manually. For example, the valves 10 to 12 can be automated by being switched by compressed air from an air compressor. You may do it.

すると、加圧用ガス収容タンク3のガスは燃料収容タンク2に流入し、燃料収容タンク2内の液体燃料(液相のブタン)を下方に付勢するので、燃料収容タンク内の液体燃料は、第2導管5、3方弁13を通って燃料供給ノズル6から車両の燃料タンクに充填されることになる。   Then, the gas in the pressurization gas storage tank 3 flows into the fuel storage tank 2 and urges the liquid fuel (liquid phase butane) in the fuel storage tank 2 downward, so that the liquid fuel in the fuel storage tank is The fuel tank of the vehicle is filled from the fuel supply nozzle 6 through the second conduit 5 and the three-way valve 13.

LPG充填システム1はまた、全体的に参照番号30で示す、加圧用ガス収容タンク3の液化プロパンガスの圧力を昇圧させるための加熱機構を有する。この加熱機構30は、加圧用ガス収容タンク3及び被加熱媒体を収容する温水槽31を有する。この実施形態では、温水槽31は、上方端が開閉自在に閉じられていているけれども、常時開放される形態でも良い。また、この実施形態では、被加熱媒体は水Wであるけれども、水W以外の液体であっても良い。   The LPG filling system 1 also has a heating mechanism for increasing the pressure of the liquefied propane gas in the pressurizing gas storage tank 3 indicated generally by the reference numeral 30. The heating mechanism 30 includes a pressurizing gas storage tank 3 and a hot water tank 31 for storing a medium to be heated. In this embodiment, the hot water tank 31 is closed at its upper end so as to be freely opened and closed, but may be always open. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the to-be-heated medium is the water W, liquids other than the water W may be sufficient.

加熱機構30はまた、温水槽31の下部に連通された下部管32と、この下部管32に接続されたポンプ33と、ポンプ33に接続されたボイラ34と、ボイラ34に接続され、下部管32の上方で温水槽31に連通された上部管35とを有する。   The heating mechanism 30 also has a lower pipe 32 communicated with the lower part of the hot water tank 31, a pump 33 connected to the lower pipe 32, a boiler 34 connected to the pump 33, and a boiler 34 connected to the lower pipe. And an upper pipe 35 communicating with the hot water tank 31 above 32.

加熱機構30の作動は次のとおりである。すなわち、温水槽31に所定量の水Wを投入し、例えば、上部管35から温水槽31の水Wを引き、引いた水Wをボイラ34から引くようにポンプ33を作動させる。温水槽31から引かれた水Wはボイラ34によって加温され、ポンプ33によって下部管32を通して温水槽31に温水Wとして圧送供給される。   The operation of the heating mechanism 30 is as follows. That is, a predetermined amount of water W is poured into the hot water tank 31, and the pump 33 is operated so that, for example, the water W in the hot water tank 31 is drawn from the upper pipe 35 and the drawn water W is drawn from the boiler 34. The water W drawn from the hot water tank 31 is heated by the boiler 34 and is pumped and supplied as hot water W to the hot water tank 31 through the lower pipe 32 by the pump 33.

加圧用ガス収容タンク3の液化プロパンガスは、温水槽31に供給された温水Wによって温められ、昇圧する。よって、車両の燃料タンクと加圧ガス収容タンクのガスとの差圧を大きくすることができ、燃料供給ノズルからの燃料を車両の燃料タンクに充填し易くなる。   The liquefied propane gas in the pressurizing gas storage tank 3 is warmed by the hot water W supplied to the hot water tank 31 and is pressurized. Therefore, the differential pressure between the fuel tank of the vehicle and the gas in the pressurized gas storage tank can be increased, and it becomes easy to fill the fuel tank of the vehicle with the fuel from the fuel supply nozzle.

ところで、先に説明したとおり、温度の上昇などにより車両の燃料タンク内の圧力が高まってしまうことがあり、この場合、車両の燃料タンクと加圧ガス収容タンクのガスとの差圧が低下し、燃料供給ノズルからの燃料を車両の燃料タンクに充填し難くなる。この問題を解決するため、高まってしまった車両の燃料タンク内の圧力を下げるべく、車両の燃料タンクとガス回収ボンベとを連通させ、車両の燃料タンク内のガスをガス回収ボンベに回収することが知られている。このようにしてガス回収ボンベに回収されたガスは、従来、別個の工程で処理する必要があった。   By the way, as described above, the pressure in the fuel tank of the vehicle may increase due to an increase in temperature or the like. In this case, the differential pressure between the fuel tank of the vehicle and the gas in the pressurized gas storage tank decreases. It becomes difficult to fill the fuel tank of the vehicle with the fuel from the fuel supply nozzle. In order to solve this problem, in order to lower the pressure in the fuel tank of the vehicle that has increased, the fuel tank of the vehicle and the gas recovery cylinder are communicated, and the gas in the fuel tank of the vehicle is recovered in the gas recovery cylinder. It has been known. The gas recovered in the gas recovery cylinder in this way has conventionally been required to be processed in a separate process.

図1は、上述したガス回収ボンベを参照番号40で示している。ガス回収ボンベ40は3方弁13の第3連結口から延びる第3導管20と接続されており、3方弁13を操作して第2連結口と第3連結口とを連通させ、ガス回収ボンベ40に隣接して第3導管20に設けられた開閉弁22を開放することによって、車両の燃料タンクのガスをガス回収ボンベ40に回収することができるようになっている。   FIG. 1 shows the gas recovery cylinder described above with reference numeral 40. The gas recovery cylinder 40 is connected to the third conduit 20 extending from the third connection port of the three-way valve 13, and the three-way valve 13 is operated to connect the second connection port and the third connection port to recover the gas. By opening the on-off valve 22 provided in the third conduit 20 adjacent to the cylinder 40, the gas in the fuel tank of the vehicle can be recovered in the gas recovery cylinder 40.

本発明によるLPG充填システム1では、このガス回収ボンベ40と、加熱機構30のボイラ34とが供給管41を介して連通され、供給管41には、ボイラ34に隣接して開閉弁42が、また、ガス回収ボンベ40に隣接して開閉弁43設けられている。ボイラ34は、ガス回収ボンベ40から供給されたガスを燃料にして作動し、前述した被加熱媒体である水Wを加熱するようになっている。よって、本発明によるLPG充填システム1では、ボイラ34の燃料として別個の燃料を用意する必要がなく、また、ガス回収ボンベに回収されたガスを廃棄処理する工程を不要にすることができる。   In the LPG filling system 1 according to the present invention, the gas recovery cylinder 40 and the boiler 34 of the heating mechanism 30 communicate with each other via a supply pipe 41, and the supply pipe 41 has an on-off valve 42 adjacent to the boiler 34. An on-off valve 43 is provided adjacent to the gas recovery cylinder 40. The boiler 34 operates by using the gas supplied from the gas recovery cylinder 40 as a fuel, and heats the water W that is the medium to be heated. Therefore, in the LPG filling system 1 according to the present invention, it is not necessary to prepare a separate fuel as the fuel for the boiler 34, and the process of discarding the gas recovered in the gas recovery cylinder can be eliminated.

次に、図2を参照すると、本発明による第2実施形態のLPG充填システムが参照番号50で示されている。
LPG充填システム50は、ボイラ用の予備燃料ボンベ51及びこれに関連する機構を有する点でのみ、図1に示したLPG充填システム1と相違するに過ぎない。よって、ここでは、LPG充填システム1における構成要素と同じLPG充填システム50の構成要素には、LPG充填システム1におけるのと同じ参照番号を付すると共に、これらの構成要素の構造、作動に関する説明は省略する。
Referring now to FIG. 2, a second embodiment LPG filling system according to the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 50.
The LPG filling system 50 is only different from the LPG filling system 1 shown in FIG. 1 only in that it has a spare fuel cylinder 51 for a boiler and a mechanism related thereto. Therefore, here, the same reference numerals as those in the LPG filling system 1 are given to the same components of the LPG filling system 50 as those in the LPG filling system 1, and the structure and operation of these components are not described. Omitted.

予備燃料ボンベ51にはボイラ34用の燃料が収容される。予備燃料ボンベ51に収容される物質は、ガス回収ボンベ40に回収されるものと同様の燃焼性能のものであれば足り、本実施形態では液化プロパンガスが用いられている。   The fuel for the boiler 34 is accommodated in the reserve fuel cylinder 51. The material stored in the reserve fuel cylinder 51 is sufficient if it has the same combustion performance as that recovered in the gas recovery cylinder 40, and liquefied propane gas is used in this embodiment.

予備燃料ボンベ51からは予備燃料供給導管52が延び、予備燃料供給導管52は、3方弁53を介して供給管41に接続されている。説明の便宜上、供給管41を、ガス回収ボンベ40と3方弁53との間に延びる第1部分41Aと、3方弁53とボイラ34との間に延びる第2部分41Bとに、分ける。3方弁53は3つの連結口54、55、56を有し、第1連結口54は供給管41の第1部分41Aに接続され、第2連結口55は予備燃料供給導管52に接続され、第3連結口56は供給管41の第2部分41Bに接続されている。   A reserve fuel supply conduit 52 extends from the reserve fuel cylinder 51, and the reserve fuel supply conduit 52 is connected to the supply pipe 41 via a three-way valve 53. For convenience of explanation, the supply pipe 41 is divided into a first portion 41A extending between the gas recovery cylinder 40 and the three-way valve 53 and a second portion 41B extending between the three-way valve 53 and the boiler 34. The three-way valve 53 has three connection ports 54, 55, 56, the first connection port 54 is connected to the first portion 41 </ b> A of the supply pipe 41, and the second connection port 55 is connected to the auxiliary fuel supply conduit 52. The third connection port 56 is connected to the second portion 41B of the supply pipe 41.

3方弁53は公知のガス弁自動切替機構(図示せず)を備えている。このガス弁自動切替機構は、通常、第1連結口54と第3連結口56とを連通させて、ガス回収ボンベ40のガスをボイラ34に供給し、ガス回収ボンベ40内にガスがなくなりつつあるとき、すなわち、ガス圧が所定値まで低下したとき、自動的に、3方弁53の第2連結口55と第3連結口56をも連通させて、予備燃料ボンベ51のガスをもボイラ34に供給するようになっている。   The three-way valve 53 includes a known automatic gas valve switching mechanism (not shown). In this gas valve automatic switching mechanism, the first connection port 54 and the third connection port 56 are normally connected to supply the gas in the gas recovery cylinder 40 to the boiler 34, and the gas is exhausted in the gas recovery cylinder 40. At a certain time, that is, when the gas pressure drops to a predetermined value, the second connection port 55 and the third connection port 56 of the three-way valve 53 are also automatically communicated, and the gas in the spare fuel cylinder 51 is also boiler. 34 is supplied.

上述した公知のガス弁自動切替機構は、例えば、3方弁53の第1連結口54内の設定圧力を第2連結口55内の設定圧力よりも高く設定し、第1連結口54の圧力がその設定圧力以上であるときには、第3連結口56に対して、第1連結口54は開放されるが第2連結口55は閉じられたままであり、ガス回収ボンベ40のガスが減り、そのガス圧力が予備燃料ボンベ51の第2連結口55内の設定圧力値まで下がると、第3連結口56に対して第1連結口54に加えて第2連結口55もが開放されるようになっている。この公知のガス弁自動切替機構は、例えば、矢崎総業株式会社によって「高性能一体型自動切替調整器」という商品名で(複数種類、例えば型番、RF6N―Sや、RF6G)、本件出願前既に販売されているものであり、かかるガス弁自動切替機構の構造それ自体は本発明の特徴を構成するものではない。
本実施形態では、ガス回収ボンベ40にはおよそ3kg/cm2〜6kg/cm2のブタン(ガス)が回収され、3方弁53の第1連結口54でおよそ0.7kg/cm2に減圧されている、すなわち、第1連結口54の設定圧力は0.7kg/cm2であり、予備燃料ボンベ51に収容された液化プロパンガスは3方弁53の第2連結口55でおよそ0.4kg/cm2に減圧されている、すなわち、第2連結口55の設定圧力は0.4kg/cm2である。従って、第1連結口54内の圧力が0.4kg/cm2まで下がったときには、第3連結口56に対して、第1連結口54のみならず、第2連結口55もが開放されることになる。
The known automatic gas valve switching mechanism described above sets, for example, the set pressure in the first connection port 54 of the three-way valve 53 higher than the set pressure in the second connection port 55, and the pressure of the first connection port 54. Is higher than the set pressure, the first connection port 54 is opened with respect to the third connection port 56, but the second connection port 55 remains closed, and the gas in the gas recovery cylinder 40 is reduced. When the gas pressure decreases to the set pressure value in the second connection port 55 of the auxiliary fuel cylinder 51, the second connection port 55 is opened in addition to the first connection port 54 with respect to the third connection port 56. It has become. This known gas valve automatic switching mechanism is, for example, a product name of “high-performance integrated automatic switching regulator” by Yazaki Sogyo Co., Ltd. (multiple types, for example, model number, RF6N-S, RF6G). The structure of such an automatic gas valve switching mechanism itself does not constitute a feature of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, approximate 3kg / cm 2 ~6kg / cm 2 butane in the gas collection bomb 40 (gas) is collected, vacuum approximately to 0.7 kg / cm 2 in the first connection hole 54 of the 3-way valve 53 That is, the set pressure of the first connection port 54 is 0.7 kg / cm 2 , and the liquefied propane gas accommodated in the reserve fuel cylinder 51 is about 0. 0 at the second connection port 55 of the three-way valve 53. The pressure is reduced to 4 kg / cm 2 , that is, the set pressure of the second connection port 55 is 0.4 kg / cm 2 . Therefore, when the pressure in the first connection port 54 decreases to 0.4 kg / cm 2 , not only the first connection port 54 but also the second connection port 55 is opened with respect to the third connection port 56. It will be.

上述したLPG充填システム50の構造によれば、ガス回収ボンベ40内のガスが所定量減ったときに、予備燃料ボンベ51のガスをボイラ34に供給することができるので、ガス回収ボンベ40内にガスがなくなったことによってボイラ34が停止されることがなく、ボイラ34を安定的に作動させることができる。   According to the structure of the LPG filling system 50 described above, the gas in the reserve fuel cylinder 51 can be supplied to the boiler 34 when the gas in the gas recovery cylinder 40 is reduced by a predetermined amount. The boiler 34 is not stopped when the gas is exhausted, and the boiler 34 can be stably operated.

尚、予備燃料ボンベ51内のガスがなくなりつつあるときに、これを新たな予備燃料ボンベと交換することができるように、予備燃料ボンベ51には開閉弁57が設けられている。すなわち、予備燃料ボンベ51の交換は開閉弁57を閉じることによって行われる。   The reserve fuel cylinder 51 is provided with an open / close valve 57 so that when the gas in the reserve fuel cylinder 51 is running out, it can be replaced with a new reserve fuel cylinder. That is, the replacement of the reserve fuel cylinder 51 is performed by closing the on-off valve 57.

次に、図3を参照すると、本発明による第3実施形態のLPG充填システムが参照番号60で示されている。   Referring now to FIG. 3, a third embodiment LPG filling system according to the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 60.

LPG充填システム60とLPG充填システム50とは、LPG充填システム50ではガス回収ボンベ40内にガスが減ったときにボイラ34用の燃料を予備燃料ボンベ51からも供給していたのに対して、LPG充填システム60では、ガス回収ボンベ40内にガスが減ったときにボイラ34用の燃料として加圧用ガス収容タンク3のガスをも供給するようになっている点でのみ、相違するに過ぎない。   The LPG filling system 60 and the LPG filling system 50 are different from the LPG filling system 50 in that the fuel for the boiler 34 is also supplied from the spare fuel cylinder 51 when the gas is reduced in the gas recovery cylinder 40. The LPG filling system 60 is different only in that the gas in the pressurizing gas storage tank 3 is also supplied as the fuel for the boiler 34 when the gas is reduced in the gas recovery cylinder 40. .

すなわち、LPG充填システム60では、3方弁53の第2連結口55から延びる予備燃料供給導管52が、LPG充填システム50における予備燃料ボンベ51ではなく、燃料収容タンク2と加圧用ガス収容タンク3とを連結する第1導管4に接続されている。   That is, in the LPG filling system 60, the reserve fuel supply conduit 52 extending from the second connection port 55 of the three-way valve 53 is not the reserve fuel cylinder 51 in the LPG filling system 50, but the fuel storage tank 2 and the pressurization gas storage tank 3. Are connected to a first conduit 4 connecting the two.

しかして、LPG充填システム60では、3方弁53に設けられたガス弁自動切替機構(図示せず)によって、ガス回収ボンベ40内にガスが十分存在し、3方弁53の第1連結口54の圧力が加圧用ガス収容タンク3に接続された第2連結口55の設定圧力よりも高いときには、第1連結口54のみ開放し、第2連結口55は閉じるようになっており、ガス回収ボンベ40内のガスが減り、第1連結口54の圧力が第2連結口55の設定圧力まで低下したときには、第2連結口55をも開放するようになっている。   Thus, in the LPG filling system 60, the gas valve automatic switching mechanism (not shown) provided in the three-way valve 53 has a sufficient amount of gas in the gas recovery cylinder 40, so that the first connection port of the three-way valve 53 is provided. When the pressure of 54 is higher than the set pressure of the second connecting port 55 connected to the pressurizing gas storage tank 3, only the first connecting port 54 is opened, and the second connecting port 55 is closed. When the gas in the collection cylinder 40 is reduced and the pressure of the first connection port 54 is reduced to the set pressure of the second connection port 55, the second connection port 55 is also opened.

よって、LPG充填システム60でもまた、ガス回収ボンベ40内にガスがなくなったことによってボイラ34が停止されることがなく、ボイラ34を安定的に作動させることができる。   Therefore, also in the LPG filling system 60, the boiler 34 is not stopped due to the absence of gas in the gas recovery cylinder 40, and the boiler 34 can be stably operated.

本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されることなく以下のような種々の変更が可能である。
例えば、上記実施形態のシステム1、50、60は、温水槽31の温水に加圧用ガス収容タンク3を浸すことによって加圧用ガス収容タンク3を加熱する形態であったけれども、加圧用ガス収容タンク3を加熱してこの中のガスの圧力を高めることができればどのような形態のものであっても良く、例えば、ボイラ34からの温水を通すチューブを備えたジャケット手段を加圧用ガス収容タンク3にかけるような形態であっても良く、或いはまた次のような構成にしても良い。すなわち、加圧用ガス収容タンク3に、これを貫通して延びる中空管を設けると共に、この中空管の中を通って延び、その各端部から突出する端部を有する加熱管を設け、加熱管の端部の外面をシールし、中空管の端部を着脱自在に閉鎖するためのカバーを更に設け、中空管とカバーとによって構成された空間に水などの熱伝達媒体を収納すると共に、外部に露出する加熱管の一方の端部に上部管35を介してボイラ34からの温水を通し、加熱管の他方の端部から排出された温水を下部管32を介してポンプ33に戻すように構成しても良い。この変形実施形態では、加熱管を流れる温水によって中空管の熱伝達媒体が温められ、この温められた熱伝達媒体によって加圧用ガス収容タンク3が加熱されることになる。
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications as described below are possible.
For example, the system 1, 50, 60 of the above embodiment is configured to heat the pressurization gas storage tank 3 by immersing the pressurization gas storage tank 3 in the hot water of the hot water tank 31, but the pressurization gas storage tank As long as the pressure of the gas in the gas can be increased by heating the gas, the jacket means having a tube through which hot water from the boiler 34 is passed is used as the pressurizing gas storage tank 3. Alternatively, the following configuration may be used. That is, the pressurizing gas storage tank 3 is provided with a hollow tube extending therethrough and provided with a heating tube having an end portion extending through the hollow tube and projecting from each end portion thereof. A cover for sealing the outer surface of the end of the heating tube and detachably closing the end of the hollow tube is further provided, and a heat transfer medium such as water is stored in the space formed by the hollow tube and the cover. In addition, hot water from the boiler 34 is passed through one end of the heating pipe exposed to the outside via the upper pipe 35, and the hot water discharged from the other end of the heating pipe is pumped through the lower pipe 32. You may comprise so that it may return. In this modified embodiment, the heat transfer medium of the hollow tube is warmed by the hot water flowing through the heating tube, and the pressurization gas storage tank 3 is heated by the warmed heat transfer medium.

また、加圧用ガス収容タンク3の温度、或いは、これを加熱する(温)水Wの水温を検出するセンサと、該センサによる検出結果に従って、(温)水Wを所定の設定温度に保つようにボイラ34を作動させる制御装置とを設けても良い。   Further, according to the sensor for detecting the temperature of the pressurizing gas storage tank 3 or the temperature of the (warm) water W that heats it, and the detection result by the sensor, the (warm) water W is maintained at a predetermined set temperature. A controller for operating the boiler 34 may be provided.

更に、上記実施形態のシステム1、50、60では、上部管35から温水槽31の水Wを引き、下部管32から温水槽31に温水Wを圧送供給するようにポンプ33を作動させたけれども、下部管32から温水Wを引き、上部管35から温水Wを供給しても良い。また、ポンプ33とボイラ34の位置を入れ替えても良い。   Furthermore, in the system 1, 50, 60 of the above embodiment, the pump 33 is operated so that the water W of the hot water tank 31 is drawn from the upper pipe 35 and the hot water W is pumped and supplied from the lower pipe 32 to the hot water tank 31. Alternatively, the hot water W may be drawn from the lower pipe 32 and the hot water W may be supplied from the upper pipe 35. Further, the positions of the pump 33 and the boiler 34 may be exchanged.

更にまた、LPG充填システム50、60において、ガス弁自動切替機構(図示せず)は、上述した構造のものに限定されず、その他の構造のものであっても良い。例えば、3方弁53の第1連結口54の圧力を検出するためのセンサを設け、第1連結口54の圧力が所定値を下回ったときに、エアーコンプレッサーでアクチュエータを作動させ、このアクチュエータによって第1連結口54を閉じ、第2連結口55を開放させるようにしても良い。他方で、3方弁53の切替は手動で行うようにしても良い。   Furthermore, in the LPG filling systems 50 and 60, the gas valve automatic switching mechanism (not shown) is not limited to the structure described above, and may have another structure. For example, a sensor for detecting the pressure at the first connection port 54 of the three-way valve 53 is provided, and when the pressure at the first connection port 54 falls below a predetermined value, the actuator is operated by an air compressor. The first connection port 54 may be closed and the second connection port 55 may be opened. On the other hand, the switching of the three-way valve 53 may be performed manually.

また、上記実施形態のシステム1、50、60では、ガス回収ボンベ40の第3導管20は3方弁13、ひいては、第2導管5に接続されていたけれども、第3導管20を3方弁13に接続させることなく、第2導管5の先端部に、燃料ノズル6と同様の、車両の燃料タンクに接続させることができるノズルを設けても良い。   Further, in the system 1, 50, 60 of the above embodiment, the third conduit 20 of the gas recovery cylinder 40 is connected to the three-way valve 13 and thus the second conduit 5, but the third conduit 20 is connected to the three-way valve. A nozzle that can be connected to the fuel tank of the vehicle, similar to the fuel nozzle 6, may be provided at the tip of the second conduit 5 without being connected to 13.

上述した実施形態では、本発明によるガス充填システムを自動車の燃料タンクへのLPG充填システムとして説明したけれども、本発明のガス充填システムは、LPG以外の任意のガスを容器、ボンベ等に充填するのに用いることができる。   In the above-described embodiments, the gas filling system according to the present invention has been described as an LPG filling system for an automobile fuel tank. However, the gas filling system according to the present invention fills containers, cylinders, etc. with any gas other than LPG. Can be used.
