Definitions
- Delivery unit for delivering fuel from a fuel tank
- the invention relates to a delivery unit for delivering fuel from a fuel tank of a motor vehicle with a baffle having a first chamber for collecting fuel, with a fuel pump for sucking in fuel and with a suction opening of the fuel pump arranged near the bottom of the first chamber of the baffle.
- the chamber of the swirl pot generally has a bottom valve and is filled with fuel via a suction jet pump driven by the fuel pump.
- the swirl pot is also arranged in a bottom region of the fuel tank, so that fuel can flow into the swirl pot from the fuel tank via the bottom valve. Filling the swirl pot via the suction jet pump ensures that the swirl pot is sufficiently filled with fuel even when the fuel level in the fuel tank is very low.
- the surge tank When the fuel tank is empty, the surge tank also empties, causing the fuel pump's intake opening to emerge from the fuel. Before the fuel pump can deliver fuel again, it is necessary, for example by means of a reserve canister, to fill the fuel tank with enough fuel to fill the surge tank. pot penetrates. Only when the intake opening of the fuel pump is immersed in the fuel can the fuel pump deliver fuel. However, a minimum amount of fuel is required for this.
- the invention is based on the problem of designing a delivery unit of the type mentioned at the outset such that after the first chamber of the swirl pot has been emptied, the suction opening of the fuel pump is reliably covered with fuel.
- a second chamber is connected to the first chamber via a valve and in that the valve is a throttle valve, the volume flow of fuel delimited by the valve being smaller than the volume flow delivered by the fuel pump.
- the first chamber will initially empty as in the known delivery unit after the fuel tank has been emptied. Fuel flows from the second chamber into the first chamber over a period dependent on the throttling action of the valve and covers the intake opening of the fuel pump. A promotion of
- the fuel pump is ensured. If a small amount of fuel is added to the fuel tank, for example via the reserve canister fills, the delivery unit according to the invention can deliver the refilled fuel.
- the delivery unit according to the invention has a particularly low installation effort if the second chamber is made in one piece with the baffle.
- the second chamber could, for example, be arranged above the first chamber. According to another advantageous development of the invention, however, filling of the second chamber can be easily ensured if the chambers are arranged at the same height.
- the second chamber like the first chamber, can thus be filled with fuel during operation of the delivery unit according to the invention.
- the delivery unit according to the invention has a particularly low structural outlay if the valve is arranged in a common wall of the first chamber and the second chamber.
- the swirl pot is particularly compact if the second chamber is designed as an annular chamber enclosing the first chamber.
- the delivery unit according to the invention can also be easily arranged in particularly flat and angled fuel tanks.
- reliable filling of the second chamber with fuel can be easily ensured if the second chamber is arranged inside the baffle and the common wall between the first chamber and the second chamber is lower than an outer wall of the baffle. There- with fuel can flow from the first chamber into the second chamber.
- the throttling of the fuel flowing from the second chamber into the first chamber requires, according to another advantageous development of the invention, a particularly low level of structural complexity if the valve is designed as an opening with an intended cross section.
- the valve During the emptying of the first chamber, the valve has to restrict an overflow of fuel from the second chamber into the first chamber, so that sufficient fuel remains in the second chamber when the fuel tank is empty.
- a sufficient throttling of the overflowing fuel can easily be achieved according to an advantageous development of the invention with conventional volumes of known baffles if the valve throttles the volume flow overflowing from the second chamber into the first chamber in such a way that level compensation takes three to five minutes after shutdown - the fuel pump has stopped.
- a sufficient fill level of fuel in the first chamber after the fuel tank has been emptied can be reliably ensured according to another advantageous development of the invention if the second chamber has a volume of approximately 10-20% of the swirl pot volume.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a longitudinal section through a fuel tank with a delivery unit according to the invention arranged therein,
- FIG. 2 shows the delivery unit according to the invention from FIG. 1 after the fuel tank has been refilled with a small amount of fuel.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a longitudinal section through a fuel tank 1 for a motor vehicle with a delivery unit 2 arranged in the floor area for delivering fuel from the fuel tank 1 to an internal combustion engine 3 of the motor vehicle.
- the delivery unit 2 has a swirl pot 4 with an electrically operated fuel pump 5 arranged therein.
- An intake opening 6 of the fuel pump 5 is arranged in the bottom region of a first chamber 7 of the surge pot 4.
- a feed line 8 leads from the fuel pump 5 to the internal combustion engine 3.
- a suction jet pump 9 is arranged in the bottom area and is supplied with fuel as a propellant via a fuel line 10 branched off from the feed line 8.
- the suction jet pump 9 sucks in fuel via a bottom valve 11 arranged on the surge pot 4 and delivers it into the first chamber 7 of the surge pot 4.
- a wall 12 for separating the first chamber 7 from a second chamber 13 is arranged in the surge pot 4.
- the wall 12 has a valve 14 designed as a throttle valve, which allows fuel to flow into the first chamber 7.
- the wall 12 separating the chambers 7, 13 is lower than an outer wall 15 of the surge pot. This ensures that the normal Operation of the delivery unit 2, the second chamber 13 is always filled with fuel.
- the internal combustion engine 3 When the delivery unit 2 is operating, the internal combustion engine 3 is supplied with fuel and at the same time the swirl pot 4 is filled with fuel via the suction jet pump 9. The filling of the surge pot 4 with fuel is ensured as long as the fuel level in the fuel tank 1 extends to the bottom valve 11. If the fuel level drops below the bottom valve 11, the delivery unit 2 supplies the internal combustion engine 3 with fuel until the first chamber 7 of the swirl pot 4 is empty, as shown in FIG. 1. The internal combustion engine 3 thus receives no fuel and the fuel pump stops. The fuel tank 1 is usually refilled with a very small amount. This amount is usually sufficient to let the level in the fuel tank 1 rise again to the bottom valve 11.
- the delivery unit 2 can only again suck in fuel and supply the suction jet pump 9 with fuel as a propellant when the K-raftstoff level in the first chamber 7 is higher than the suction opening 6 of the conveyor unit 2.
- the throttling of the volume flow led into the first chamber 4 through the valve 14 designed as a throttle valve is dimensioned such that the fuel flows into the first chamber 7 more slowly than the delivery unit 2 conveys fuel to the internal combustion engine 3.
