〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は、車両や航空機等に搭載される燃料タンクに関
する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fuel tank mounted on a vehicle, an aircraft, or the like.
本発明は、エンジンに送り出される燃料を収容する燃料
タンクにおいて、収容燃料を消火剤で包み込むことによ
り、燃料に引火しても収容燃料の爆発を防ぐことができ
ろようにしたものである。According to the present invention, in a fuel tank that stores fuel to be sent to an engine, the stored fuel is wrapped in a fire extinguishing agent to prevent the stored fuel from exploding even if the fuel ignites.
従来、車両や航空機等に搭載される燃料タンクは、単に
金属性の容器から成っている。Conventionally, fuel tanks mounted on vehicles, aircraft, etc. are simply made of metal containers.
ところで、交通の過密化によって交通事故が増加してお
り、衝突事故により燃料タンクに引火し、自動車が炎に
包１れるという事故も発生している。By the way, traffic accidents are increasing due to the overcrowding of traffic, and there are also accidents in which a fuel tank ignites and a car is engulfed in flames due to a collision.
また、ジェット旅客機では、着陸の失敗等により燃料タ
ンクが爆発し大きな事故となる場合もある。In addition, in jet airliners, fuel tanks may explode due to failure in landing, etc., resulting in a major accident.
このように従来の燃料タンクは、単に金属の容器から成
っているため、燃料に引火した場合、火災や爆発事故を
招く問題点があった。As described above, since conventional fuel tanks are simply made of metal containers, there is a problem in that if the fuel ignites, it may lead to a fire or an explosion.
そこで、本発明はこのような従来の問題点全解決するた
めに提案されたものであり、燃料に引火しても車両や航
空機等が炎上することのない燃料タンクを提供すること
を目的とする。Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve all of these conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fuel tank that will not cause a vehicle, aircraft, etc. to burst into flames even if the fuel ignites. .
この目的を達成するために本発明の燃料タンクは、収容
される燃料を消火剤で包み込んだ構成としている。In order to achieve this object, the fuel tank of the present invention has a structure in which the stored fuel is wrapped in a fire extinguishing agent.
したがって本発明では、タンクに収容される燃料を消火
剤で包み込んだことから、燃料に引火したとしても消火
剤によって消火されるため、燃料タンクの爆発等が起こ
らず、車両や航空機等の炎上を防ぐことができる。Therefore, in the present invention, since the fuel contained in the tank is wrapped in a fire extinguishing agent, even if the fuel ignites, it will be extinguished by the fire extinguishing agent, so there will be no explosion of the fuel tank, and it will prevent vehicles, aircraft, etc. from going up in flames. It can be prevented.
以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.
第１図は、本発明の実施例の燃料タンクを破断して示す

燃料タンクから燃料が送り出され、ジェット旅客機では
ジェットエンジンに燃料が送り出される。FIG. 1 is a cutaway perspective view of a fuel tank according to an embodiment of the present invention. This fuel tank is installed in automobiles, jet passenger planes, etc. In the case of a car, the fuel is sent from this fuel tank to the EVA gasoline engine through a fuel pipe (not shown), and in the case of a jet airliner, the fuel is sent to the jet engine.

るため用いるのは望ましくない。In FIG. 1, for example, the metal fuel container 1 includes
Fuel 2 to be supplied to the engine is accommodated. This fuel 2
If it is a gasoline engine, it is gasoline, and if it is a jet engine, it is kerosene. Further, an outer container 3 is provided so as to enclose the storage container 1. This outer container 3 is made of metal, for example, and is separated from the storage container 1 by a spacer 4 . The space between the storage container 1 and the outer container 3 is filled with a fire extinguishing agent 5 so as to wrap around the container 1. This extinguishing agent 5 is solid,
It can be either liquid or gas. For example, CO2 may be used. However, it is undesirable to use noron gas as it is very harmful to the human body.
このように、上記燃料タンクでは、収容容器１に入れら
れる燃料２を包み込むように消火剤５を設けたことから

、燃料２に引火したとしても、消火剤５が炎を包み込む
ため、１発に至らす消火を行なうことができる。なお、
ガス状の消火剤音用いれば、き裂したタンクから漏れ出
た燃料が発火した場合の消火に適する。In this way, in the above fuel tank, the fire extinguishing agent 5 is provided so as to surround the fuel 2 placed in the storage container 1, so that even if the fuel 2 ignites, for example by using this fuel tank in a car, the extinguishing agent 5 can be extinguished. Since the agent 5 envelops the flame, it is possible to extinguish the fire down to one shot. In addition,
Gaseous extinguishing agent sounds are suitable for extinguishing fires caused by fuel leaking from a cracked tank.
またジェット旅客機に上記燃料タンクを用いれば、着陸
の失敗等による旅客機の爆発炎上を防ぐことができる。Furthermore, if the above-mentioned fuel tank is used in a jet airliner, it is possible to prevent the airliner from bursting into flames due to failure of landing or the like.
なお、消火剤５を配することで、旅客機の総重量の増力
口が懸念されるが、収容容器１、外容器３等を高強度材
の合成樹脂等で作れば問題が解決される。Although there is a concern that the provision of the extinguishing agent 5 will increase the total weight of the passenger aircraft, this problem can be solved if the storage container 1, outer container 3, etc. are made of high-strength material such as synthetic resin.
なお、上記スペーサ４は燃料タンクの補強を兼ねている
。Note that the spacer 4 also serves to reinforce the fuel tank.
ところで、上述の実施例では、収容容器１の周囲に消火
剤５を配しているが、この容器１を多孔成樹脂（カーボ
