Definitions

  • the invention is based on a filling device, in particular oil filler device on an internal combustion engine, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic filling device is from the DE 39 27 325 C2 known.
  • This filling device comprises a filler neck having the filling opening and a pot-shaped closure cap which closes the filler opening and has a cap base, a peripheral cap wall extending from the cap base and a centering element arranged on the inside of the closure cap, which cooperates with a counter centering element formed on the filler neck.
  • the centering element is designed as a tubular extension, which is approximately parallel and at a radial distance from the peripheral cap wall and has an outer diameter which is adapted to the inner diameter of the filling opening. There is no distance between the centering element and the tube inner surface of the filling connection, so that the tube inner surface forms the counter-centering element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a filling device in which a centering of the cap takes place independently of the filling nozzle.
  • the centering which is important for a tight closure of the filling opening, the cap on filling nozzle, for example. With tapered and / or curved course or even at relatively short filler neck is reached safely.
  • via a separate Jacobtrierelement within the Filling nozzle can be achieved an accurate centering of the cap regardless of the course of the filling.
  • a correspondingly large space for the arrangement of a seal is provided by the radial distance of the Gegenzentrierelements of the pipe inner surface and thus also the increased distance of the centering of the closure wall, which thus allows an optimized seal design.
  • the inner diameter of the closure cap is greater than the outer diameter of the filling nozzle such that the seal rests against the pipe outer surface when the cap is placed on the filling nozzle.
  • the Jacobson carrierelement via at least one web which extends radially, held in a simple manner at a distance from the pipe inner surface.
  • the Gegenzentrierelement is optionally made with its web in one piece with the filling nozzle.
  • the Jacobzentrierelement can also be implemented as an insert, which can be used as if necessary to refill without centering as a retrofit.
  • the centering of the closure cap according to the invention preferably takes place on bent, bent or angled filling and / or tapering filling nozzles according to claim 8, in which the length of the end section having the filling opening would not be sufficient for guiding in the axial direction of the centering element.
  • the axial length of the Jacobzentrierelements can thus - according to claim 9 - greater than or equal to the length of the end portion of the nozzle to be selected.
  • Fig. 1 Side view
  • Fig. 2 Perspective
  • a filling nozzle 1 which may be connected at one end to a reservoir or tank and at its other end 2 has a filling opening 3 which with a closure cap 4 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) can be closed by placing on the filler neck 1.
  • the cap 4 and the filling nozzle 1 form a filling device 5, which is in particular an oil filling device for lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
  • the filling nozzle 1 for example, be pivotally connected with its end not shown here with the internal combustion engine.
  • the filling nozzle 1 is realized as a tube, which is angled in the illustrated embodiment and at its short, angled end portion 6, the filling opening 3.
  • the connected to the engine connecting portion 7 of the filler neck 1 can run straight or possibly bent in sections.
  • the axial length L1 of the end portion 6 is substantially smaller than the axial length L2 of the connecting portion 7.
  • a bent or bent pipe section could be provided as an end portion.
  • the end section 6 - viewed from the filling opening 3 in the direction of the connecting section 7 - could be tapered and / or - as in Fig. 1 shown - pass over a further pipe section 7 'with a bow, a bend or a bend in the connecting portion 7.
  • the filler neck 1 is made with its sections 6, 7 and 7 'in one piece as a plastic part.
  • a first securing element 9 of a closure cap 10 is formed on the end portion 6, which cooperates with a second securing element 12 arranged on the closure cap 4, in particular on the cap inner side 11, in order to attach the closure cap 4 to the cap To be able to determine filling nozzle 1.
  • the closure cap 10 is preferably designed as a screw cap or bayonet.
  • the pot-shaped closure cap 4 is formed by a closure bottom 13, a peripheral closure wall 14 extending from the bottom 13 and a centering element 15 arranged on the inside of the closure cap 4, that is to say on the inner side 11.
  • the second securing element 12 is - as Fig. 3 shows - on the inside 11 in the region of the closure wall 14, in particular at the free end 16, and projects radially inwards so that it can engage with the protruding from the pipe outer wall 8 first securing element 9.
  • a circumferential seal 18 is disposed on the inner side 11, which can be realized as a sealing ring and sealingly abuts against a tapered sealing flange 19 at the end portion 6.
  • the seal 18 is thus on the pipe outer surface 8, when the cap 4 is placed with its inner side 11 the filler neck 1 across this and while the filling opening 3 closes.
  • the cap 4 with the bottom 13, the wall 14 and the centering element 15 is in particular made in one piece from plastic.
  • the centering element 15, the axial length L3 is greater than the axial length L4 of the closure wall 14 and therefore over the free end 16 protrudes, with a disposed within the filling nozzle 1 Gegenzentrierelement 21 into engagement the cap 4 is aligned relative to the mouth edge 22 surrounding the filling opening 3 or centered to the filling opening 3.
  • the axial length L5 of the Jacobzentrierelements 21, which is formed as a second pipe section 23 with a circular cross-section, may be greater than or equal how the axial length L1 of the end portion 6 of the filling nozzle 1 are carried out because the Jacobzentrierelement 21 in the region of the filling opening 3 and in the end portion 6 with a radial distance RA to the pipe inner surface 24.
  • the counter-centering element 21 is arranged coaxially to the surrounding wall, here the tube wall of the filling nozzle 1, so that it lies centrally in the filling opening 3.
  • one or more radially extending webs 25 are used as a spacer between the pipe inner surface 24 and the pipe section 23, one or more radially extending webs 25 are used.
  • a plurality of webs 25 are provided, these are distributed around the circumference of the second pipe section 23. You can go out of the Gegenzentrierelement 21 or the filler neck 1 or produced as separate parts. It is alternatively possible to manufacture the Jacobzentrierelement 21 and the webs 25 in one piece with the nozzle 1 or possibly the Gegenzentrierelement 21 with its webs 25 separately and use as insert 26 in the filler neck 1 and to attach it, for example. By gluing.
  • the outer diameter DA of the centering element 15 is adapted to the inner diameter ID of the Schmidtzentrierelements 21, ie DA ⁇ ID, so that the centering element 15 is guided in particular sliding on the Gegenzentrierelement 21 in the axial direction when the cap 4 is placed on the socket 1. Since the length L5 of the Jacobtrierelements 21 is greater than the length L1 of the end portion 6, regardless of the axial course (bent, cranked or angled) of the nozzle 1, the cap 4 are axially guided over a corresponding length, causing a tilting of the cap 4 prevented.
  • the two securing elements 9 and 12 securely engage each other and on the other hand, the seal 18 is positioned correctly to the sealing flange 19 comes to rest. It is also conceivable, however, that the securing element 12 together with the tube outer surface 8 acts as an additional centering when the centering element 15 is inserted correspondingly far into the counter-centering element 21; In this additional centering the Gegenzentrierelement 21 could also be designed shorter than the end portion 6.
  • the Gegenzentrierelement 21 and the second pipe section 23 with the Distance RA is located coaxially within the filler neck 1, the Jacobsonelement 21 may protrude into the connecting portion 7, which allows a long axial guidance of the centering element 15.
