- the blocking valve 21 has a sufficiently large passage area so as not to impair smooth lubrication.
- the blocking valve 21, the first purge control valve 23, the second purge control valve 32, the drain cut valve 26, and the pressurizing pump 27 are various controls (for example, fuel injection amount control, injection timing control) of the internal combustion engine 1.

These relief valves are not shown in FIG. 1, although they can be provided as required.
- the evaporated fuel processing apparatus of this embodiment is suitable for a hybrid vehicle capable of so-called EV traveling with the internal combustion engine 1 stopped. In this type of vehicle, there is an opportunity for purging the canister 3. Therefore, the adsorption of the evaporated fuel by the canister 3 is limited at the time of refueling.
- the evaporated fuel generated in the fuel tank 2 with refueling is introduced into the canister 3 and adsorbed by the internal adsorbent.
- the closing valve 21 is closed. Accordingly, the inside of the fuel tank 2 is kept in a sealed state separated from the canister 3, and the amount of adsorption of the canister 3 does not basically increase or decrease while the internal combustion engine 1 is stopped.
- the first purge control valve 23 is appropriately opened while the blockade valve 21 is closed, and the fuel component from the canister 3 is opened. Purge is performed. That is, air is introduced from the drain port 15 due to a pressure difference with the intake system of the internal combustion engine 1, and the fuel component purged from the adsorbent 12 by this air passes through the first purge control valve 23 and the intake passage 17 of the internal combustion engine 1. Introduced into Therefore, the amount of adsorption of the canister 3 gradually decreases during the operation of the internal combustion engine 1.

- the evaporated fuel in the fuel tank 2 is actively processed by the internal combustion engine 1, so that it remains in the fuel tank 2 during refueling. There is relatively less evaporated fuel.
- the evaporative fuel in the fuel tank 2 is directly processed by the internal combustion engine 1, the evaporative fuel does not pass through the canister 3, so that the amount of adsorption of the canister 3 does not increase. Further, the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is frequently released during the operation of the internal combustion engine 1, and the increase in pressure is suppressed.
- the second purge control valve 32 is also used for releasing the pressure in the fuel tank 2 at the start of refueling. That is, during the refueling, the sealing valve 21 is opened as described above. However, when the sealing valve 21 having a large passage area is opened while the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is high, the drain port 15 passes through the canister 3. There is concern that evaporated fuel will blow out. Therefore, in the above embodiment, when the operation of the lid open switch 9 is detected, the second purge control valve 32 is first opened while the drain cut valve 26 is open. As a result, the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is released through the canister 3. When the pressure in the fuel tank 2 approaches the atmospheric pressure, the block valve 21 is opened, and the inside of the fuel tank 2 is opened under the atmospheric pressure.
- the initial pressure release through the canister 3 is performed slowly to some extent, and the fuel vapor is prevented from being blown through. That is, the pressure release is performed in two stages by the second purge control valve 32 and the blocking valve 21, and a quick pressure release can be realized while suppressing the escape of evaporated fuel.
- the configuration and control of the individual block valves 21 and the second purge control valve 32 are simplified as compared with the case where the two-stage opening degree control is performed with a single block valve.
- the second purge control valve 32 that opens when the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is high is smaller in diameter than the block valve 21, so that the thrust force of the solenoid required to open the valve under high pressure is low. There is an advantage that it can be reduced.
- the layout in the actual vehicle is as follows. Only one pipe is required between the internal combustion engine 1 (intake passage 17) and the canister 3, and this is particularly advantageous when the canister 3 is disposed in the vicinity of the fuel tank 2.
- the first purge control valve 23 exists downstream of the second purge control valve 32, so that evaporated fuel flows into the intake passage 17 side. There is no.
- FIG. 2 is an operation explanatory view showing the open / closed state of each valve and the flow of gas in various modes, and based on this, the operation of the above-mentioned evaporated fuel processing device will be more specifically described below. explain.
- FIG. 2A shows a control mode during refueling.
- the drain cut valve 26 is opened, the first purge control valve 23 and the second purge control valve 32 are closed, and the blocking valve 21 is closed. Open.
- the gas containing the evaporated fuel pushed out from the fuel tank 2 with refueling flows to the outside through the canister 3.
- the evaporated fuel is adsorbed by the canister 3.
- smooth oil supply is not impaired by using the thing with sufficient aperture
- FIG. 2B shows a control mode in a state in which the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is released and the evaporated fuel in the fuel tank 2 is directly processed during the operation of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the process of the evaporated fuel in the fuel tank 2 is performed in parallel with the purge of the canister 3, the drain cut valve 26 is opened, the first purge control valve 23 and the second purge control valve 32. Is opened, and the closing valve 21 is closed. Accordingly, the atmosphere passes through the canister 3 via the drain cut valve 26 and is introduced into the intake passage 17 of the internal combustion engine as purge gas.
- the evaporated fuel in the fuel tank 2 is introduced into the intake passage 17 through the second purge control valve 32 and the first purge control valve 23. Since the blocking valve 21 is closed, the evaporated fuel does not bypass the canister 3.
- the second purge control valve 32 is controlled to open during the period shown in FIG. 3 with respect to the opening period of the first purge control valve 23. That is, after a predetermined purge condition is established during operation of the internal combustion engine 1 and the first purge control valve 23 is opened, the second purge control valve 32 is opened after an appropriate delay period ⁇ t1. This is because when the first purge control valve 23 is opened and the second purge control valve 32 is opened in a state where the pressure in the vicinity of the second purge control valve 32 is surely a negative pressure, the backflow of the evaporated fuel is ensured.
- the delay period ⁇ t1 is determined according to the passage area and the passage length from the first purge control valve 23 to the atmospheric opening through the canister 3, for example, on software Controlled by the timer.
- the second purge control valve 32 is closed in advance, and after the appropriate delay period ⁇ t2, the first purge control valve 23 is closed. Closes. This is also to ensure that the evaporated fuel from the fuel tank 2 does not go to the canister 3 side.
- the delay period ⁇ t2 is controlled from the second purge control valve 32 to the first purge control. It is determined according to the passage area and the passage length up to the valve 23, and is controlled by a timer on software, for example. Note that due to the difference in passage length, the closing-side delay period ⁇ t2 is generally shorter than the opening-side delay period ⁇ t1.
- FIG. 2C shows an operation for releasing the pressure in the fuel tank 2 that is executed immediately before the start of refueling.
- the drain cut valve 26 is opened, the first purge control valve 23 is closed, and the second purge is performed.
- the control valve 32 is opened and the blocking valve 21 is closed.

When the lid open switch 9 is turned on, the process proceeds to step 2 where the second purge control valve 32 is opened. If the first purge control valve 23 and the blocking valve 21 are open, they are simultaneously closed in step 2.
- step 3 it is determined whether or not a predetermined time T1 has elapsed since the lid open switch 9 was turned on. This predetermined time T1 corresponds to a time required to bring the pressure close to the atmospheric pressure to such an extent that no blow-through occurs when the blocking valve 21 is opened when the pressure in the fuel tank 2 is in a high pressure state.
- step 4 the block valve 21 is opened and the second purge control valve 32 is closed.
