【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は主タンクと補助タンクとの両者を有する車輌用
燃料タンクの洩れ防止装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a leak prevention device for a vehicle fuel tank having both a main tank and an auxiliary tank.
主タンクの他に補助タンクを設け、走行中の燃料切れに
対処せんとしたものは公知である。It is known that a vehicle is provided with an auxiliary tank in addition to the main tank to cope with running out of fuel while driving.
公知の主、補助タンクの構造は、第1図に示す如く主タ
ンク1と補助タンク2とを連通管3で連絡し、連通管3
に閉止栓4を設けている。The structure of a known main tank and an auxiliary tank is as shown in FIG.
A stopcock 4 is provided at the end.
従来の主、補助タンクでは、主タンク1が空になって補
助タンク2の燃料が必要となった時には人為的な手作業
で閉止栓4を開けていた。In conventional main and auxiliary tanks, when the main tank 1 becomes empty and fuel is needed in the auxiliary tank 2, the stopcock 4 is manually opened.
ところが、燃料補給稜、閉止栓4が開放であることを忘
れて走行することがある。However, there are times when the driver forgets that the stopcock 4 at the refueling ridge is open while driving.
このよう々場合、車輛が登板又は降板時に一方のタンク
から他方のタンクへ燃料が流れ込み、キャップのプリー
ザから溢れ出ることがあった。In such cases, when the vehicle is mounted or dismounted, fuel may flow from one tank to the other and overflow from the pleather of the cap.
本発明の目的は、人為的な操作をなくし、自動的に連通
管を開閉作動させることによシ、燃料の浴出を防止した
装置を提供せんとするにある0
以下、図によって説明する。An object of the present invention is to provide a device which prevents fuel from leaking out by automatically opening and closing a communication pipe without requiring any manual operation.
第2図は本発明の一実施例を示す系統図である。FIG. 2 is a system diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.
主タンク11と補助タンク12との間に連絡通路13が
設けられており、連絡通路13には開閉弁14が設けら
れている。主タンク11には液位検出センサ15が設け
られ、液位検出センサ15の出力は一方では点滅素子1
6を介してランプ17を点滅動作させ、他方では、電磁
弁18へ与えられてエアタンク19の圧縮空気をシリン
ダ20へ送り込む○シリンダ20は前記開閉弁14を開
閉動作させるものである。A communication passage 13 is provided between the main tank 11 and the auxiliary tank 12, and an on-off valve 14 is provided in the communication passage 13. The main tank 11 is provided with a liquid level detection sensor 15, and the output of the liquid level detection sensor 15 is transmitted to the blinking element 1.
On the other hand, the cylinder 20 is supplied to the electromagnetic valve 18 and sends compressed air from the air tank 19 to the cylinder 20, which opens and closes the on-off valve 14.
前記液位検出センサ15には望ましくはタイマーが内蔵
されている方がよい。タンク内の液位は振動等によシ瞬
間的に低くなることはあるが、このような瞬間的な低液
位を除外して定常的な低液位を検知するため、所定時間
以上低液位となった時のみ信播を発する如くタイマーを
内蔵させるものである。タイマーは周知のものを使用す
る。なお、タイマーは内蔵ではなく、回路に設けてもよ
い。The liquid level detection sensor 15 preferably has a built-in timer. The liquid level in the tank may drop instantaneously due to vibrations, etc., but in order to exclude such momentary low liquid levels and detect steady low liquid levels, if the liquid level is low for a specified period of time or more, It has a built-in timer so that the signal will be emitted only when the position is reached. Use a well-known timer. Note that the timer is not built-in, but may be provided in the circuit.
前記各電気系統はバッテリー21を電源としている。Each of the electrical systems uses a battery 21 as a power source.
以上の如く構成された本発明の作用を述べる。The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described.
主タンク11内の液位が高いと、液位検出センサ15は
信号を発しないので、ランプ12は消灯し、かつ電磁弁
18は閉じている。When the liquid level in the main tank 11 is high, the liquid level detection sensor 15 does not emit a signal, so the lamp 12 is turned off and the solenoid valve 18 is closed.
振動によシ瞬間的に液位検出センサ15が低液位を検出
してもタイマによる設定時間を越えない限シ信号は出な
い。Even if the liquid level detection sensor 15 momentarily detects a low liquid level due to vibration, no signal will be output unless the time set by the timer is exceeded.
今、主タンク11内の燃料が空に近づくと、液位が定常
的に低液位となυ、液位検出センサ15からの信号が一
方では点滅素子16を介してランプ17を点滅させ、他
方では電磁弁18を開としてエアタンク19の圧縮空気
をシリンダ20に供給する0
よって、開閉弁14が開かれて補助タンク12の燃料が
連絡路13を通って主タンク11へ流入する0以上にお
いて、点滅用のランプは省略可能であシ、又タイマーも
省略可能である。Now, when the fuel in the main tank 11 approaches empty, the liquid level becomes steadily low υ, and the signal from the liquid level detection sensor 15 causes the lamp 17 to blink via the blinking element 16. On the other hand, the solenoid valve 18 is opened to supply compressed air from the air tank 19 to the cylinder 20. , the flashing lamp can be omitted, and the timer can also be omitted.
又シリンダの作用は、高液位と低液位のときに夫々開閉
弁を閉から開するものであればよく、シリンダの両側に
空気圧を作用させるものでもよい。このときは、電磁弁
18は切換弁となる0上記実施例の他に、本発明は次の
ように実施することもできる。Further, the action of the cylinder may be to open the on-off valve from closed to open when the liquid level is high or low, respectively, or to apply air pressure to both sides of the cylinder. In this case, the solenoid valve 18 becomes a switching valve.Other than the above embodiment, the present invention can also be implemented as follows.
すなわち、第2図では連絡路の開閉弁を空気圧シリンダ
で作動させたが、第3図の如く電磁開閉弁22を連絡路
23に設け、主タンク24内の液位検出センサ25の信
号を直接電磁開閉弁22に与えて連絡路を開閉させても
よい。That is, in FIG. 2, the on-off valve of the communication path is operated by a pneumatic cylinder, but as shown in FIG. It may also be applied to the electromagnetic on-off valve 22 to open and close the communication path.
以上のとおシ、本発明によると次のような作用効果を奏
する。In view of the above, the present invention provides the following effects.
開閉弁の締め忘れによる漏洩等のトラブルがない。There are no problems such as leaks caused by forgetting to close the on-off valve.
自動的であるから作業者が注意しなくてもよく、取り扱
いが簡単化する。Since it is automatic, the operator does not need to be careful, which simplifies handling.
従来の手動開閉弁では外部からの手動操作が行える如く
設計しなければならず、設計の自由度が小さかったが、
本発明は自動装置であるからレイアウト等の設計上の制
約が少ない。Conventional manual on-off valves had to be designed so that they could be manually operated from the outside, which meant that there was little freedom in design.
Since the present invention is an automatic device, there are fewer restrictions on design such as layout.
タイマーを設けたものでは、瞬間的な低液位で作動しな
いから、ひんばんな開閉がなく、補助タンク内の燃料が
必黴な時まで使用されることがない。Those equipped with a timer do not operate at instantaneous low liquid levels, so they do not open and close frequently, and the fuel in the auxiliary tank is not used until it is needed.
ランプを点滅させるようにしたものでは運転席で補助タ
ンクからの燃料補充を確認でき、燃料の補充時期を忘れ
ることがない。なお、ランプ以外の警報(例へはブザー
)でもよいことは云うまでもない。With a flashing lamp, you can check whether fuel is being refilled from the auxiliary tank from the driver's seat, and you will never forget when to refill. It goes without saying that an alarm other than a lamp (for example, a buzzer) may be used.
本発明が適用されるのはトラック等のディーゼル車輛で
あるが、このような車輛ではエアタンクを積載しておシ
、エアの作動系統を使用することが簡単となる。よって
、検出、動作指令は電気的に行い、開閉動作をエアシリ
ンダで行わせる如くすると、大きい力を得ることができ
、従来の開閉栓をその!ま作動させることができるもの
となる。The present invention is applied to diesel vehicles such as trucks, and in such vehicles, it is easy to load an air tank and use an air operation system. Therefore, if the detection and operation commands are performed electrically, and the opening/closing operation is performed by an air cylinder, a large force can be obtained, and the conventional opening/closing faucet can be replaced with a larger force! It becomes something that can be operated.
一方、連絡路に電磁開閉弁を設けてこれを直接開閉させ
ることも本発明に含まれる。この方式ではエアを使用し
ないので作動が確実となる。On the other hand, the present invention also includes providing an electromagnetic on-off valve in the communication path and directly opening and closing the valve. This method does not use air, so operation is reliable.
