  • the liquid level in the cover member 47 is not affected by the maximum liquid level height H2 around the cover member 47, the liquid level does not greatly swell like the outside, and rises in proportion to the amount of oil supply. .
  • the check valve 42 does not frequently open and close, and the phenomenon that the relief valve 43 frequently opens and closes can be prevented.
  • a situation in which the warning lamp 56 blinks frequently or fuel reaches the relief valve 43 can be avoided in advance.
  • the cover member 47 with a vent hole 47b communicating with the inside of the tank body 41, the fuel can be smoothly distributed (in and out) from the flow hole 47a. Further, by providing the vent hole 47b in the vicinity of the top plate of the cover member 47, it is possible to prevent fuel from entering the cover member 47 from the vent hole 47b side even when the liquid level is undulated.
  • the example in which one flow hole 47a is provided at the bottom of the cover member 47 has been described. However, there may be a plurality of flow holes 47a and not only the bottom of the cover member 47, It may also be provided on the side.

  • FIG. 8 not only the check valve 42 but also the relief valve 43 is covered with a cover member 47. With such a configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent a phenomenon in which fuel reaches the relief valve 43 in addition to the same operations and effects as in the above embodiment.
  • a partition plate 48 is provided in the tank body 41 so as to surround the check valve 42, and a circulation hole 48a through which fuel in the tank body 41 flows is provided near the bottom of the partition plate 48. According to such a configuration, even when the liquid level in the tank main body 41 violently undulates during refueling, the influence on the check valve 42 can be reduced by the partition plate 48 as in the above embodiment. . Further, since the partition plate 48 allows the fuel in the tank body 41 to flow (in / out) through the flow hole 48a, it is possible to ensure an accurate opening / closing operation of the check valve 42 according to the amount of fuel supplied. Can do. Further, since the partition plate 48 allows the fuel in the tank body 41 to flow (in / out) through the flow hole 48a, it is possible to ensure an accurate opening / closing operation of the check valve 42 according to the amount of fuel supplied.

  • FIG. 10 shows an example in which a cover member 49 corresponding to the cover member 47 as described above is integrally provided on the check valve 42 side. That is, the influence of the liquid surface fluctuation on the ball receiving portion 42b can be reduced by the cover member 49 positioned so as to cover the ball receiving portion 42b of the check valve 42. As a result, the check valve 42 can be prevented from frequently opening and closing, so that fuel can be supplied stably.
  • the cover member 49 allows the fuel and gas in the tank body 41 to flow (in and out) through the flow hole 49a and the vent hole 49b, an accurate ball receiving portion corresponding to the amount of fuel supplied.
  • the opening / closing operation of 42b can be ensured. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to change the structure of the tank body 41 itself, it can be easily applied to an existing fuel tank later.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, la tôle supérieure (41a) d'un corps (41) de réservoir est équipée d'un clapet de non-retour (42) de telle manière que le clapet de non-retour traverse la tôle supérieure et atteint à l'intérieur du corps (41) de réservoir une hauteur prédéterminée. La périphérie du clapet de non-retour (42) est couverte par un élément de couverture (47) présentant une forme cylindrique avec fond et s'étendant depuis la tôle supérieure (41a) du corps (41) de réservoir. Un trou de circulation (47a) à travers lequel circule le carburant à l'intérieur du corps (41) de réservoir est pratiqué dans l'élément de couverture (47). Ainsi, il est possible d'empêcher le clapet de non-retour (42) de s'ouvrir et de se fermer fréquemment, même dans une situation où la surface du liquide à l'intérieur du réservoir (40) de carburant ondule violemment.
