Description

給油装置Lubrication device
 本発明は、自動車へ燃料油を供給する給油装置に関し、特に、燃料油に水が混入していることを検知する機能を有する給油装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an oil supply apparatus that supplies fuel oil to an automobile, and more particularly to an oil supply apparatus having a function of detecting that water is mixed in the fuel oil.
 給油所において、給油装置から自動車へ供給される燃料油は、貯油タンクに貯蔵されている。この貯油タンクは、給油所の地下に埋設されるため、空気中の水蒸気の結露による水分が混入したり、貯油タンクの腐食により地下水が浸入することがある。また、貯油タンクと給油装置とは、地下に埋設された送油管により接続されるので、腐食により送油管に小穴が開くと、この小穴から地下水が吸い込まれて燃料油中に水が混入することになる。 At the gas station, the fuel oil supplied from the fueling device to the automobile is stored in an oil storage tank. Since this oil storage tank is buried in the basement of a gas station, water due to condensation of water vapor in the air may be mixed in, or groundwater may enter due to corrosion of the oil storage tank. In addition, since the oil storage tank and the oil supply device are connected by an oil supply pipe buried underground, if a small hole is opened in the oil supply pipe due to corrosion, groundwater will be drawn from this small hole and water will be mixed into the fuel oil. become.
 そして、水が混入した燃料油を自動車へ給油すると、燃焼不良によるエンジン破損という重大事故になることがある。このような事情から、燃料油に混入した水を検知する機能を有する給油装置が望まれている。 And, if fuel oil mixed with water is supplied to automobiles, it may cause a serious accident of engine damage due to poor combustion. Under such circumstances, an oil supply device having a function of detecting water mixed in fuel oil is desired.
 ここで、水が混入したか否かを、各種センサを用いて検出することが考えられる。しかし、給油装置で扱う燃料油は可燃性で、ポンプユニット及び流量計等の燃料油供給系統は、燃料油の蒸気が存在する領域、いわゆる危険エリアに配置されるため、各種センサも危険エリアに配置する必要がある。そのため、センサの検出結果を電気信号で送信する際に、火花が発生することがないように、センサ及びその検出結果を処理するための電気機器を防爆構造にする必要がある。そして、防爆構造としたセンサや電気機器は大型化してしまうので、給油装置の狭いケースの内部に設置するのが困難である。 Here, it is conceivable to detect whether water is mixed using various sensors. However, the fuel oil handled by the refueling device is flammable, and the fuel oil supply system such as the pump unit and flow meter is located in the area where the fuel oil vapor exists, so-called danger area. Need to be placed. Therefore, when transmitting the detection result of the sensor as an electric signal, it is necessary to make the sensor and the electric device for processing the detection result have an explosion-proof structure so that no spark is generated. And since the sensor and electric equipment made into explosion-proof structure will enlarge, it is difficult to install in the inside of the narrow case of an oil supply apparatus.
 その他の従来技術として、防爆構造としていない給油制御機器及び給油量表示器を、燃料油の蒸気が充満していない領域(非危険エリア)内に設けた技術が存在する(特許文献1参照)。 As another conventional technique, there is a technique in which an oil supply control device and an oil supply amount indicator not having an explosion-proof structure are provided in an area (non-hazardous area) where fuel oil vapor is not filled (see Patent Document 1).
 しかし、水が燃料油に混入したことを検出するためのセンサは、燃料油供給系統に設ける必要があり、当該燃料油供給系統は、燃料油の蒸気が存在する危険エリアに配置される。そのため、上述した従来技術においても、水が燃料油に混入したことを検出するためのセンサは防爆構造とする必要があり、上述した問題は解消されない。 However, a sensor for detecting that water is mixed in the fuel oil needs to be provided in the fuel oil supply system, and the fuel oil supply system is arranged in a danger area where the fuel oil vapor exists. Therefore, also in the above-described prior art, the sensor for detecting that water is mixed in the fuel oil needs to have an explosion-proof structure, and the above-described problem cannot be solved.

 本発明は、上記従来技術の問題点に鑑みて提案されたものであり、燃料油中の水の混入を検知することができ、水の混入を検出するセンサを防爆構造とする必要のない給油装置を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and is capable of detecting the mixing of water in fuel oil, and does not require an explosion-proof structure as a sensor for detecting the mixing of water. The object is to provide a device.

 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。まず、図1~図4を参照して、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る給油装置について説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, an oil supply apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
 図1において、給油装置1は、機器ケース2と表示ケース15を有する。機器ケース2の内部は、燃料油の蒸気が存在する可能性の高い危険エリアである。機器ケース2の内部の機器は防爆構造になっている。機器ケース2の内部には、モータ3で駆動されるポンプユニット4、給油量を計測する流量計5等が設けられる。 1, the fueling device 1 has a device case 2 and a display case 15. The inside of the device case 2 is a dangerous area where there is a high possibility that fuel oil vapor exists. The equipment inside the equipment case 2 has an explosion-proof structure. Inside the device case 2, a pump unit 4 driven by a motor 3, a flow meter 5 for measuring the amount of oil supply, and the like are provided.
 このポンプユニット4には、流入口4A、ポンプ4B、吐出口4Cが設けられ、流入口4A及び吐出口4Cにはストレーナ6が設けられる。ポンプユニット4の流入口4Aは、送油管7を介して地下の貯油タンク8に連通する。吐出口4Cは流量計5に接続される。上述したように、ポンプ4B(図1ではギヤポンプ)はモータ3で駆動される。 The pump unit 4 is provided with an inlet 4A, a pump 4B, and a discharge port 4C, and a strainer 6 is provided at the inlet 4A and the discharge port 4C. The inlet 4 </ b> A of the pump unit 4 communicates with an underground oil storage tank 8 through an oil feeding pipe 7. The discharge port 4 </ b> C is connected to the flow meter 5. As described above, the pump 4B (gear pump in FIG. 1) is driven by the motor 3.
 図1の給油装置1において、流量計5に接続された給油管9は支柱10の内部を立ち上がっている。そして、給油管9の先端の接続口9Aには給油ホース11が接続され、給油ホース11の先端には給油ノズル12が取り付けられ、給油ノズル12はノズル掛け13に掛けられる。尚、給油管9の周囲は、燃料油の蒸気が存在する可能性の高い危険エリアである。 1, the oil supply pipe 9 connected to the flow meter 5 rises inside the column 10. An oil supply hose 11 is connected to the connection port 9 </ b> A at the tip of the oil supply pipe 9, an oil supply nozzle 12 is attached to the tip of the oil supply hose 11, and the oil supply nozzle 12 is hung on a nozzle hook 13. The area around the fuel supply pipe 9 is a dangerous area where there is a high possibility that vapor of fuel oil exists.
 機器ケース2の上方に位置する表示ケース15は、燃料油の蒸気が存在しない非危険エリアである。表示ケース15の内部に設けられる給油制御装置16及び表示器17等は、機器ケース2の内部の機器とは異なり、防爆構造とはなっていない。表示ケース15の内部に設けられる給油制御装置16は、機器ケース2の内部のモータ3、流量計5と信号線18で接続される。 The display case 15 located above the device case 2 is a non-hazardous area where there is no fuel oil vapor. Unlike the equipment inside the device case 2, the fuel supply control device 16 and the indicator 17 provided inside the display case 15 do not have an explosion-proof structure. The oil supply control device 16 provided inside the display case 15 is connected to the motor 3 and the flow meter 5 inside the device case 2 by a signal line 18.
 表示ケース15はベーパーバリア15Aを有する。前記信号線18がベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する部分には、ケーブルクランプ19が設けられる。換言すれば、前記信号線18がベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する部分は、ケーブルクランプ19でシールされる。信号線18がベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する部分がケーブルクランプ19でシールされるため、機器ケース2の内部における燃料油の蒸気が信号線18に沿って表示ケース15の内部に浸入することが防止される。 The display case 15 has a vapor barrier 15A. A cable clamp 19 is provided at a portion where the signal line 18 penetrates the vapor barrier 15A. In other words, the portion where the signal line 18 penetrates the vapor barrier 15 </ b> A is sealed with the cable clamp 19. Since the portion where the signal line 18 penetrates the vapor barrier 15A is sealed by the cable clamp 19, the fuel oil vapor inside the device case 2 is prevented from entering the inside of the display case 15 along the signal line 18. The
 表示ケース15の内部には、水検知用の制御装置21、制御装置21に接続された光電変換装置22が設けられ、光電変換装置22には光ファイバー23bが接続される。ここで、水検知用センサは符号23で包括的に表示され、光ファイバー23bを有する。そして、当該センサ23は、燃料油に水が混入することを検知する機能を有する検出用センサであり、その検出部23a(図4参照)は、光ファイバー23b先端の受光部分である。 In the display case 15, a water detection control device 21 and a photoelectric conversion device 22 connected to the control device 21 are provided, and an optical fiber 23b is connected to the photoelectric conversion device 22. Here, the water detection sensor is comprehensively indicated by reference numeral 23 and has an optical fiber 23b. The sensor 23 is a detection sensor having a function of detecting that water is mixed into the fuel oil, and the detection portion 23a (see FIG. 4) is a light receiving portion at the tip of the optical fiber 23b.
 上述したように、表示ケース15のベーパーバリア15Aにはケーブルクランプ24が設けられ、光ファイバー23bはケーブルクランプ24を貫通して機器ケース2の内部へ導入され、光ファイバー23bはポンプユニット4の油流路に配設される。光ファイバー23bがベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する部分がケーブルクランプ24によりシールされるので、機器ケース2の内部における燃料油の蒸気が光ファイバー23bに沿って表示ケース15の内部へ浸入することが防止される。 As described above, the vapor barrier 15 </ b> A of the display case 15 is provided with the cable clamp 24, the optical fiber 23 b passes through the cable clamp 24 and is introduced into the equipment case 2, and the optical fiber 23 b is the oil flow path of the pump unit 4. It is arranged. Since the portion where the optical fiber 23b penetrates the vapor barrier 15A is sealed by the cable clamp 24, the vapor of the fuel oil inside the device case 2 is prevented from entering the inside of the display case 15 along the optical fiber 23b.
 すなわち、機器ケース2の内部における燃料油の蒸気が信号線18に沿って表示ケース15の内部に浸入することは防止され、かつ、当該蒸気が光ファイバー23bに沿って表示ケース15の内部に浸入することも防止される。そのため、表示ケース15は、機器ケース2の内部における燃料油の蒸気に対してシールされ、電気火花等が発生しても事故が発生しない安全なエリア(非危険エリア)となっている。 That is, the vapor of the fuel oil in the device case 2 is prevented from entering the display case 15 along the signal line 18, and the vapor enters the display case 15 along the optical fiber 23b. This is also prevented. For this reason, the display case 15 is sealed against the vapor of fuel oil inside the device case 2 and is a safe area (non-dangerous area) where no accident occurs even if an electric spark or the like occurs.
 図4に示すように、光ファイバー23b(受光用光ファイバー232)の先端には、水混入検出用センサ23の検出部23aが設けられる。後述するように、水混入検出用センサ23は受光センサであり、検出用センサ23の検出部23aを、給油所地下の貯油タンク8に連通する送油管7から、給油ホース11の接続箇所(接続口)9Aの間の領域に配置することが可能であるが、好ましくは、図1においてハッチングを付した領域、すなわち、ポンプ4Bのギヤ(回転体)の収容箇所から接続口9A(給油ホース11の接続箇所)までの領域の何れかに配置されるのが良い。 As shown in FIG. 4, the detection part 23a of the water mixing detection sensor 23 is provided at the tip of the optical fiber 23b (light receiving optical fiber 232). As will be described later, the water mixing detection sensor 23 is a light receiving sensor, and the detection portion 23a of the detection sensor 23 is connected from the oil supply pipe 7 communicating with the oil storage tank 8 in the base of the gas station to the connection location (connection of the oil supply hose 11). It is possible to arrange in the area between the opening 9A, but preferably, from the hatched area in FIG. 1, that is, from the accommodation position of the gear (rotating body) of the pump 4B, the connection port 9A (oil supply hose 11) It is preferable to arrange in any of the areas up to the connection point.
 尚、図1において、機器ケース2の内部と表示ケース15の内部については、右側の給油ホース11に関する機器のみを示し、左側の給油ホース11に関する機器の構成は、図示の簡略化のために省略する。 In FIG. 1, only the equipment related to the right oil supply hose 11 is shown for the inside of the equipment case 2 and the display case 15, and the configuration of the equipment related to the left oil supply hose 11 is omitted for simplification of illustration. To do.
 図2は、光ファイバー23bが表示ケース15のベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する状態を詳細に示す。上述したように、光ファイバー23bがベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する部分は、ケーブルクランプ24でシールされる。 FIG. 2 shows the state in which the optical fiber 23b penetrates the vapor barrier 15A of the display case 15 in detail. As described above, the portion where the optical fiber 23 b penetrates the vapor barrier 15 </ b> A is sealed with the cable clamp 24.
 図2において、ケーブルクランプ24の基体25は、ナット26によりベーパーバリア15Aに固定される。ケーブルクランプ24の内部を通る光ファイバー23bは、パッキン27によりシールされる。 2, the base body 25 of the cable clamp 24 is fixed to the vapor barrier 15 </ b> A by a nut 26. The optical fiber 23 b passing through the inside of the cable clamp 24 is sealed by the packing 27.
 図2に明示されるように、ケーブルクランプ24でシールされる光ファイバー23bは、2本の光ケーブルからなる。 As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the optical fiber 23b sealed by the cable clamp 24 is composed of two optical cables.
 2本の光ファイバー23bの一方は、光照射用の光ファイバー231であり、その先端(図4において、検出部23a側の端部)から光を照射する機能を有する。2本の光ファイバー23bの他方は、受光用の光ファイバー232であり、図4を参照して後述するように、先端に検出部23aを有し、検出部23aで受光した光を表示ケース15の内部の光電変換装置22へ伝達する機能を有する。 One of the two optical fibers 23b is an optical fiber 231 for irradiating light, and has a function of irradiating light from its tip (the end on the detection unit 23a side in FIG. 4). The other of the two optical fibers 23b is a light receiving optical fiber 232. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, the optical fiber 23b has a detection unit 23a at the tip, and the light received by the detection unit 23a is contained inside the display case 15. It has a function to transmit to the photoelectric conversion device 22.
 図示しないが、1本の光ファイバー23bにより、発光用の光ケーブルと受光用の光ケーブルの双方の作用を奏するように構成することも可能である。 Although not shown, it is also possible to configure so that the optical fiber 23b can function as both a light-emitting optical cable and a light-receiving optical cable.
 図2において、機器ケース2の内部の光ファイバー23b(発光用の光ケーブル231と受光用の光ケーブル232)は樹脂チューブ29で被覆され、樹脂チューブ29の先端はクランプ30により、ブラケット62に固定される。そして、ブラケット62はナット26によりベーパーバリア15Aに固定される。光ファイバー23bをクランプ30で固定することにより、光ファイバー23bを振動から守ることができる。ここで、光ファイバー23bが樹脂チューブ29で被覆されるのは機器ケース2の内部だけである。換言すれば、万が一、事故等で樹脂チューブ29が破損した場合、機器ケース2の内部の燃料油が、樹脂チューブ29の内部壁面と光ファイバー23bの間の空間を経由して、燃料油が表示ケース15の内部に浸入する事態を防止するためである。 In FIG. 2, the optical fiber 23 b (light emitting optical cable 231 and light receiving optical cable 232) inside the device case 2 is covered with a resin tube 29, and the tip of the resin tube 29 is fixed to a bracket 62 by a clamp 30. The bracket 62 is fixed to the vapor barrier 15 </ b> A by the nut 26. By fixing the optical fiber 23b with the clamp 30, the optical fiber 23b can be protected from vibration. Here, the optical fiber 23 b is covered with the resin tube 29 only inside the device case 2. In other words, in the unlikely event that the resin tube 29 is damaged due to an accident or the like, the fuel oil inside the device case 2 passes through the space between the inner wall surface of the resin tube 29 and the optical fiber 23b, and the fuel oil is displayed in the display case. This is to prevent a situation of entering the inside of the 15.
 図3、図4では、光ファイバー23bの先端の検出部23aがポンプユニット4の吐出口4Cの付近に配設された状態を例示する。ただし、上述したように、検出部23aは、図1においてハッチングを付して示す領域(ポンプ4Bのギヤの収容箇所から給油ホース11の接続箇所である接続口9Aまでの領域)の何れかに設けることができる。 3 and 4 illustrate a state in which the detection unit 23a at the tip of the optical fiber 23b is disposed in the vicinity of the discharge port 4C of the pump unit 4. However, as described above, the detection unit 23a is hatched in FIG. 1 and is shown in any one of the regions (regions from the gear housing location of the pump 4B to the connection port 9A that is the connection location of the oil supply hose 11). Can be provided.
 後述する態様で、水混入検出用センサ23を用いて水の混入を検出するためには、水と燃料油とが均一に混在するように、白濁した状態となっている必要がある。ポンプ4Bのギヤの収容箇所よりも給油ノズル12側の領域にセンサ23の検出部23aを設けるのは、係る領域においては水と燃料油がポンプ4Bのギヤで撹拌されるため、水が燃料油中に均一に混入して白濁した状態となり、水混入の有無を検知できるからである。 In the form described later, in order to detect water contamination using the water contamination detection sensor 23, it is necessary to be in a cloudy state so that water and fuel oil are uniformly mixed. The detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 is provided in the region closer to the fuel supply nozzle 12 than the gear housing location of the pump 4B because water and fuel oil are agitated by the gear of the pump 4B in such a region. This is because they are mixed uniformly and become cloudy, and the presence or absence of water can be detected.
 図3、図4において、ポンプ4の吐出口4Cの近傍に蓋体31が設けられ、蓋体31はボルト32でポンプユニット4に固定される。蓋体31に開けられた穴33に中空ボルト34が螺合し、中空ボルト34にパッキン35が挿入され、かつ、中空ボルト36が螺合する。そして、中空ボルト36の中空部分に光ファイバー23bが挿通される。 3 and 4, a lid 31 is provided in the vicinity of the discharge port 4 </ b> C of the pump 4, and the lid 31 is fixed to the pump unit 4 with a bolt 32. The hollow bolt 34 is screwed into the hole 33 formed in the lid 31, the packing 35 is inserted into the hollow bolt 34, and the hollow bolt 36 is screwed. Then, the optical fiber 23 b is inserted into the hollow portion of the hollow bolt 36.
 換言すれば、蓋体31に螺合する中空ボルト34に中空ボルト36がねじ込まれ、中空ボルト36の中空部に光ファイバー23bが挿入され、中空ボルト34の中空部分はパッキン35でシールされる。そして、図4で示すように、光ファイバー23b(受光用光ファイバー232)の先端部(図4では下端部)に、センサ23の検出部23aが設けられる。 In other words, the hollow bolt 36 is screwed into the hollow bolt 34 screwed into the lid 31, the optical fiber 23 b is inserted into the hollow portion of the hollow bolt 36, and the hollow portion of the hollow bolt 34 is sealed with the packing 35. As shown in FIG. 4, the detection unit 23 a of the sensor 23 is provided at the distal end portion (the lower end portion in FIG. 4) of the optical fiber 23 b (light receiving optical fiber 232).
 次に、図5~図7を参照して、本発明の給油装置において、燃料油中に水が混入しているか否かを検出する制御の一例について説明する。 Next, an example of control for detecting whether or not water is mixed in the fuel oil in the fueling device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
 上述したように、燃料油に混入している水は、ポンプユニット4のポンプ4Bで圧送されるときに撹拌され、微細な粒子になり、燃料油と水の混合物は白濁する。光照射用光ファイバー231の先端から照射された光は、その一部が微細な水の粒子に当たって反射し、受光用光ファイバー232の先端の(センサ23の)検出部23aにより受光される。当該受光量(水粒子により反射した光量)は、燃料油中の水混入率が大きくなると増加する(図5の曲線α)。 As described above, the water mixed in the fuel oil is agitated when being pumped by the pump 4B of the pump unit 4, and becomes fine particles, and the mixture of the fuel oil and water becomes cloudy. A part of the light emitted from the tip of the optical fiber 231 for light irradiation is reflected by the fine water particles and is received by the detection unit 23a (of the sensor 23) at the tip of the optical fiber 232 for light reception. The amount of received light (the amount of light reflected by water particles) increases as the water mixing rate in the fuel oil increases (curve α in FIG. 5).
 一方、光照射用光ファイバー231の先端から照射された光の一部(水粒子に当たらなかった光)は、微細な水粒子が混入した燃料油中を透過して直進し、対向した壁面(図示せず)で反射して、再び燃料油中を透過、直進して、受光用の光ファイバー232の先端の検出部23aにより受光される。当該受光量(燃料油中を透過、直進し、対向した壁面で反射して検出部23aにより受光された光)は、燃料油中の水混入率が大きいほど減少する(図5の曲線β)。 On the other hand, part of the light irradiated from the tip of the optical fiber for light irradiation 231 (light that did not hit the water particles) passes straight through the fuel oil mixed with fine water particles, and faces the opposite wall surface (see FIG. (Not shown), is again transmitted through the fuel oil, travels straight, and is received by the detector 23a at the tip of the optical fiber 232 for light reception. The amount of received light (light transmitted through the fuel oil, traveling straight, reflected by the opposing wall surface and received by the detection unit 23a) decreases as the water mixing rate in the fuel oil increases (curve β in FIG. 5). .
 そして、受光用の光ファイバー232の先端の検出部23aで受光された全受光量は、図5の曲線αの光量と曲線βの光量の和となり、その特性は、図5の曲線「α+β」で表示される。 The total amount of light received by the detection unit 23a at the tip of the light receiving optical fiber 232 is the sum of the light amount of the curve α in FIG. 5 and the light amount of the curve β, and the characteristic is the curve “α + β” in FIG. Is displayed.
 ここで、図5の縦軸は受光量であり、横軸は水混入率である。検出部23aで受光された全受光量を求め(例えば、図5の「センサ検出結果」)、図5の一点鎖線で示すように対応する特性曲線「α+β」上の点γを求めれば、点γの横軸の数値δが、その時点における水混入率となる。 Here, the vertical axis in FIG. 5 is the amount of light received, and the horizontal axis is the water mixing rate. If the total amount of light received by the detection unit 23a is obtained (for example, “sensor detection result” in FIG. 5), and the point γ on the corresponding characteristic curve “α + β” as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. The numerical value δ on the horizontal axis of γ is the water mixing rate at that time.
 図6は、図5で説明した制御を実行する制御装置21のブロック図を示し、図7は、図5で説明した制御のフローチャートを示す。制御装置21の構造と、図5で説明した制御を、主として図6、図7を参照して説明する。 6 shows a block diagram of the control device 21 that executes the control explained in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the control explained in FIG. The structure of the control device 21 and the control described in FIG. 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS.
 受光用光ファイバー232を介して光電変換装置22に入力された光(検出部23aで受光された光量)は、電気信号に変換され、信号ラインL3を介して光量演算ブロック41に読み込まれ(ステップS1)、検出部23aの全受光量が演算される(ステップS2)。演算された受光量はラインL4を介して水混入率演算ブロック42へ伝達され、記憶ブロック40から伝達された受光量と水混入率との特性(図5参照)から、水混入率が演算される(ステップS3)。 The light (the amount of light received by the detection unit 23a) input to the photoelectric conversion device 22 through the light receiving optical fiber 232 is converted into an electric signal and read into the light amount calculation block 41 through the signal line L3 (step S1). ), The total amount of light received by the detector 23a is calculated (step S2). The calculated amount of received light is transmitted to the water mixing rate calculation block 42 via the line L4, and the water mixing rate is calculated from the characteristics (see FIG. 5) of the received light amount and the water mixing rate transmitted from the storage block 40. (Step S3).
 演算された水混入率はラインL5を介して判定ブロック43へ伝達される。そして、判定ブロック43での判定結果は、ラインL6を介して、報知処理ブロック44、報知手段45、給油停止処理ブロック46、給油停止のための手段47、保守点検処理ブロック48、保守点検のための手段49、表示手段50に送信される。 The calculated water mixing rate is transmitted to the determination block 43 via the line L5. The determination result in the determination block 43 is sent to the notification processing block 44, the notification means 45, the fuel supply stop processing block 46, the fuel supply stop means 47, the maintenance / inspection processing block 48, and the maintenance / inspection via the line L6. 49 and the display means 50.
 判定ブロック43では、水混入率演算ブロック42の水混入率と、記憶ブロック40からラインL2を介して伝達された「しきい値」(水混入率が報知するべきレベルに達しているか否かのしきい値:水混入率が正常なレベルであるか否かのしきい値)と比較する(ステップS4)。 In the determination block 43, the water mixing rate of the water mixing rate calculating block 42 and the “threshold value” (the level of the water mixing rate transmitted from the storage block 40 via the line L2 or not) are determined. The threshold value is compared with a threshold value indicating whether or not the water mixing rate is at a normal level (step S4).
 水混入率がしきい値以下であれば(ステップS4がNO)、水混入率は正常なレベル(問題がないレベル)であると判断して、ステップS1に戻る。このとき、センサ23は、燃料油中に水が混入していないことを検出したことになる。水混入率がしきい値よりも大きいと(ステップS4がYES)、ステップS5に進む。このとき、センサ23は、燃料油中に水が混入していることを検出したことになる。 If the water mixing rate is equal to or less than the threshold value (NO in step S4), it is determined that the water mixing rate is a normal level (no problem level), and the process returns to step S1. At this time, the sensor 23 has detected that water is not mixed in the fuel oil. If the water mixing rate is greater than the threshold value (YES in step S4), the process proceeds to step S5. At this time, the sensor 23 detects that water is mixed in the fuel oil.
 ステップS5では、給油制御装置16(図1参照)により報知のみを行なえば良いか、報知及び/又は給油停止処理が必要であるか、報知及び/又は給油停止処理及び/又は保守点検のための処理が必要であるかが判断される。 In step S5, it is only necessary to perform notification by the refueling control device 16 (see FIG. 1), whether notification and / or refueling stop processing is necessary, notification and / or refueling stop processing and / or maintenance check. It is determined whether processing is necessary.
 すなわち、水混入率が報知のみを行なえば良いレベルであれば、給油停止処理や保守点検のための処理は行なわない。水混入率が給油停止処理を必要とするレベルであれば、給油制御装置16により、給油停止処理が行なわれる。その際に、報知も行うこともできる。さらに水混入率が大きい場合には、給油停止処理及び/又は保守点検のための処理が実行される。その際にも、報知を行うこともできる。 In other words, if the water mixing rate is at a level that only requires notification, no refueling stop processing or maintenance inspection processing is performed. If the water mixing rate is at a level that requires refueling stop processing, the refueling control device 16 performs refueling stop processing. At that time, notification can also be performed. Further, when the water mixing rate is large, a refueling stop process and / or a process for maintenance inspection is executed. In this case, notification can also be performed.
 図示の実施形態によれば、センサ23の検出部23aが危険エリアである機器ケース2に設けられるが、センサ23の検出部23aからの光(光信号)を処理する制御装置21、光電変換装置22は非危険エリアである表示ケース15の内部に設けられる。 According to the illustrated embodiment, the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 is provided in the device case 2 that is a dangerous area, but the control device 21 that processes light (light signal) from the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23, the photoelectric conversion device Reference numeral 22 is provided inside the display case 15 which is a non-dangerous area.
 そのため、機器ケース2の内部のセンサ23の検出部23aは光のみを授受し、電気信号の送受信は行わない。そのため、燃料油の蒸気が充満する恐れがある機器ケース2の内部にセンサ23の検出部23aを設けても、当該検出部23aにおいて電気信号による火花が発生することはない。 Therefore, the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 inside the device case 2 transmits and receives only light, and does not transmit and receive electrical signals. Therefore, even if the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 is provided inside the device case 2 that may be filled with fuel oil vapor, the detection unit 23a does not generate a spark due to an electrical signal.
 また、センサ23の検出部23aからの光信号は、表示ケース15の内部の光電変換装置22により電気信号に変換されて、制御装置21で処理されるため、検出部23aの検出結果に対応する電気信号は表示ケース15の内部でのみ送受信される。そのため、図示の実施形態によれば、高い安全性を維持した状態で、検出用センサ23を用いて燃料油中に水が混入しているか否かを検知することができる。 Further, since the optical signal from the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 is converted into an electrical signal by the photoelectric conversion device 22 inside the display case 15 and processed by the control device 21, it corresponds to the detection result of the detection unit 23a. The electric signal is transmitted / received only inside the display case 15. Therefore, according to the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to detect whether or not water is mixed in the fuel oil using the detection sensor 23 while maintaining high safety.
 これに関連して、図示の実施形態では、機器ケース2の内部のセンサ23の検出部23aは光の授受のみを行い、検出部23aからの光信号を処理する制御装置21、光電変換装置22は、非危険エリアである表示ケース15の内部に設けられる。そのため、センサ23の検出部23a、制御装置21、光電変換装置22を防爆構造とする必要がない。 In relation to this, in the illustrated embodiment, the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23 inside the device case 2 only transmits and receives light, and controls the optical signal from the detection unit 23a, and the photoelectric conversion device 22. Is provided inside the display case 15 which is a non-dangerous area. Therefore, it is not necessary for the detection unit 23a of the sensor 23, the control device 21, and the photoelectric conversion device 22 to have an explosion-proof structure.

 また、上記実施形態と同様に、信号線18及び光ファイバー23bが機器ケース2と表示ケース15の境界部であるベーパーバリア15Aを貫通する箇所を、ケーブルクランプ19、24でシールしたため、信号線18及び光ファイバー23bに沿って、機器ケース2の内部の燃料油の蒸気が表示ケース15の内部に浸入することが防止される。そのため、表示ケース15の内部は、常に、非危険エリアとしての安全性が保持される。 Further, as in the above embodiment, the signal line 18 and the optical fiber 23b are sealed by the cable clamps 19 and 24 at the portion where the vapor barrier 15A that is the boundary between the device case 2 and the display case 15 is penetrated. The fuel oil vapor inside the device case 2 is prevented from entering the inside of the display case 15 along the optical fiber 23b. Therefore, the safety of the inside of the display case 15 as a non-dangerous area is always maintained.
 本実施形態では、上記第1の実施形態と同様に、自動車に燃料油が給油される以前の段階で水混入の有無を把握することができる。そして、エンジン停止となる以前の段階で、報知、給油停止等の必要な措置を取ることができる。 In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to grasp the presence or absence of water mixing before the fuel oil is supplied to the automobile. Then, necessary measures such as notification and refueling stop can be taken before the engine is stopped.
