Description

GebrauchsmusteranmeldunqUtility model application Antistatisch ausgerüstetes Einfüllrohr aus KunststoffAntistatic plastic filling tube

Bei Kunststoffeinfülirohren eines KKB (Kunststoffkraftstofftank) muß dafür Sorge getragen werden, daß beim Betanken erzeugte statische Aufladungen im Bereich zündfähigen Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches durch Erdung des Rohres sicher verhindert werden. Dies geschieht heute durch metallischen Verbund der Stutzenmündung (Einfüllsockel) zur Karosserie (Erdungsbänder).When using plastic filler pipes on a plastic fuel tank, care must be taken to ensure that static charges in the area of the ignitable fuel-air mixture generated during refueling are safely prevented by grounding the pipe. Today, this is done by metal bonding the nozzle opening (filler base) to the body (grounding straps).

Werden jedoch an tiefer liegenden Abschnitten des Einfüllrohres durch einströmenden Treibstoff statische Aufladungen erzeugt, so' liegen hier nur ungenügende Ladungsabieitungsmögiichkeiten vor. Insbesondere bei der Ausführung des Einfüllrohres zur Erreichung des „Liquid Seal"-Effektes ergibt sich hier eine besondere Gefährdung. Mittels des erzeugten Venturieffektes wird durch den einströmenden Kraftstoff Luft aus der Atmosphäre eingesaugt, wobei sich ein explosives/ zündfähiges Kraftstoff-/ Luftgemisch innerhalb des Einfüllrohres einstellt. Dieses Gemisch kann durch die statischen Aufladungen zur Zündung gebracht werden. Um eine solche Entzündung sicher zu vermeiden, ist es deshalb unabdingbar, im inneren des Einfüllrohres für eine gute Ableitung statischer Aufladungen zu sorgen, bzw. diese durch geeignete Maßnahmen erst gar nicht entstehen zu lassen.However, if static charges are generated in lower sections of the filler pipe by inflowing fuel, there are insufficient options for dissipating the charge. This is particularly dangerous when the filler pipe is designed to achieve the "liquid seal" effect. The Venturi effect that is generated causes the inflowing fuel to suck in air from the atmosphere, creating an explosive/ignitable fuel/air mixture inside the filler pipe. This mixture can be ignited by the static charges. In order to reliably prevent such an ignition, it is therefore essential to ensure that static charges are well dissipated inside the filler pipe, or to take suitable measures to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

Erfindungsgemäß wird der Nachteil der Aufladung durch Schaffen einer leitfähigen Innenoberfläche, bzw. durch den Einsatz leitfähiger Materialien für das Einfüllrohr und aller damit evtl. verbundenen Anschlußteile behoben. Hierbei sollte der Oberflächenwiderstand (Abieitwiderstand) auf < 106 Ohm gesenkt werden. Ferner muß die Leitfähigkeit über die Lebenszeit eines Kraftfahrzeuges erhalten bleiben.According to the invention, the disadvantage of charging is eliminated by creating a conductive inner surface or by using conductive materials for the filler pipe and all connecting parts that may be connected to it. The surface resistance (leakage resistance) should be reduced to < 10 6 Ohm. Furthermore, the conductivity must be maintained over the lifetime of a motor vehicle.

Beschreibung:Description:

Das bevorzugt aus HDPE oder PA blasgeformte Einfüllrohr ist z.B. durch Coextrusion 2 - 6-schichtig aufgebaut (Abb.1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Schichtaufbaus), wobei folgende Schichten je nach Anforderung generiert werden können:The filling pipe, which is preferably blow-molded from HDPE or PA, is constructed in 2 - 6 layers, for example by coextrusion (Fig. 1 shows an example of the layer structure), whereby the following layers can be generated depending on requirements:

1 a ieitfähige Innenschicht1 a conductive inner layer

1 b Haftvermittler1 b Adhesion promoter

1c Kernschicht HDPE1c core layer HDPE

1d Regeneratschicht1d regenerated layer

1e Haftvermittler1e adhesion promoter

1f Ieitfähige Außenschicht1f Conductive outer layer

Die wirschaftlichste Ausführungsform besteht aus nur zwei Schichten (Abb. 2), wenn nicht das Gesamtsystem ausschließlich aus leitfähigem Material erstellt werden kann.The most economical design consists of only two layers (Fig. 2), unless the entire system can be made exclusively from conductive material.

2a Schicht aus leitfähigem HDPE Russ Compound (<2%)2a layer of conductive HDPE soot compound (<2%)

innen
2b Kernschicht HDPE (>98%) außen
Inside
2b Core layer HDPE (>98%) outside

Durch sequentielle Coextrusion (Abb. 3) und abfallarmem Blasprozeß kann die Ausführung noch wirtschaftlicher gestaltet werden. Es werden so in lokalen Bereichen Leitfähigkeiten der abriebsresistenten Innenschicht von < 106 Ohm erreicht, was eine ausreichende Sicherheit für Betankungsvorgänge darstellt.The design can be made even more economical through sequential coextrusion (Fig. 3) and a low-waste blowing process. In this way, conductivities of the abrasion-resistant inner layer of < 10 6 Ohm are achieved in local areas, which represents sufficient safety for refueling processes.

Unabhängig vom Herstell- oder Ausführungsverfahren, d.h. Aufbau des Einfüllstutzens aus nur einem leitfähigen Material oder mehreren Material schichten mittels Coextrusion, bzw. sequentieller Coextrusion (Abb 3: Bereich A mit antistatischer Ausrüstung; Bereich B ohne antistatische Ausrüstung), muß durch geeignete Maßnahmen sichergestellt werden, daß die Ieitfähige Schicht im Inneren Einfüllrohres Kontakt zur Fahrzeugkarosserie zwecks Ableitung der statischen Aufladung hat.Regardless of the manufacturing or execution process, i.e. construction of the filler neck from only one conductive material or several material layers by means of coextrusion or sequential coextrusion (Fig. 3: area A with antistatic equipment; area B without antistatic equipment), suitable measures must be taken to ensure that the conductive layer inside the filler pipe is in contact with the vehicle body in order to dissipate the static charge.
