Description

자동차용 연료탱크의 연료량감지장치 {apparatus for detecting fuel flow of fuel tank in automobile}Fuel level detection device for automobile fuel tank {apparatus for detecting fuel flow of fuel tank in automobile}

본 발명은 자동차용 연료탱크에 관한 것으로, 특히 연료탱크내 연료잔량을정확히 감지하여 게이지의 오작동을 방지하는 자동차용 연료탱크의 연료량감지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a fuel tank for an automobile, and more particularly, to a fuel amount detecting device for an automotive fuel tank for accurately detecting the remaining fuel in the fuel tank to prevent malfunction of the gauge.

일반적으로, 연료탱크의 내부에는 연료게이지가 설치되어 차량의 대시패널에 연료의 잔량을 표시하며, 또한 연료가 일정량 이하로 감소하면 이를 운전자에게 경고하기 위해 대시패널에 설치된 경고램프를 점등하도록 되어 있다.In general, a fuel gauge is installed inside the fuel tank to display the remaining fuel on the dash panel of the vehicle, and when the fuel is lowered below a certain amount, a warning lamp installed on the dash panel is turned on to warn the driver. .

이러한, 종래 연료게이지의 구조는 도 1에 도시한 바와같이, 연료탱크(1)내 연료에 의해 부유하는 플로트(3)와, 상기 플로트(3)에 일측이 힌지된 플로트 아암(5)과, 상기 플로트 아암(5)과 연결되어 연료의 양에 따라 상하이동하는 아암바디(7)와, 상기 아암바디(7)와 접촉되어 연료의 양에 따라 변화하는 저항값을 감지하는 세라믹저항판(9)으로 구성되어 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional fuel gauge has a float 3 floating by fuel in the fuel tank 1, a float arm 5 hinged to one side of the float 3, An arm body 7 connected to the float arm 5 and moving in accordance with the amount of fuel, and a ceramic resistor plate 9 contacting the arm body 7 and detecting a resistance value that changes according to the amount of fuel. )

상기 아암바디(7)는 도 2에 도시한 바와같이, 아암바디(7)에 힌지점(13)을 매개로 연결되어 이동하는 접촉아암(11)을 구비하고 있고, 상기 접촉아암(11)에는 연료의 양에 따라 변화하는 저항값을 감지하도록 상기 세라믹저항판(9)에 접촉되는 1개의 접점부(15)를 구비하고 있다.As shown in FIG. 2, the arm body 7 includes a contact arm 11 which is connected to the arm body 7 via a hinge point 13 and moves therein, and the contact arm 11 has a contact arm 11. It is provided with one contact portion 15 in contact with the ceramic resistor plate 9 so as to sense a resistance value that varies with the amount of fuel.

상기와 같이 구성된 연료게이지에 있어서, 연료탱크(1)내 유량의 높이만큼 플로트(3)가 부유하면, 플로트 아암(5)을 매개로 도 1의 화살표로 도시한 바와같이, 아암바디(7)가 상하로 이동하여 접촉아암(11)의 접점부(15)가 세라믹저항판(9)에 접촉되므로 연료의 양에 따라 변화된 저항값을 감지하여 운전석 계기판에 보내면, 운전석의 게이지가 저항값만큼 작동하여 연료량을 표시하게 된다.In the fuel gauge configured as described above, if the float 3 floats by the height of the flow rate in the fuel tank 1, the arm body 7 is shown by the arrow of FIG. 1 via the float arm 5. Since the contact portion 15 of the contact arm 11 is brought into contact with the ceramic resistance plate 9 by moving up and down, when the resistance value changed according to the amount of fuel is detected and sent to the driver's instrument panel, the gauge of the driver's seat operates as much as the resistance value To display the fuel amount.

그런데, 이와같은 종래의 자동차용 연료게이지에 있어서는, 저항값을 감지하는 접점부(15)가 도 2에 도시한 바와같이, 1개밖에 없어 접점부(15)와 세라믹저항판(9) 사이에 이물질이 끼어 있으면 저항값을 정확히 읽지 못하여 연료량을 제대로 표시해 주지 못하므로 운전석 게이지의 불량이 자주 발생한다는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional fuel gauge for automobiles, as shown in FIG. 2, there is only one contact portion 15 that senses a resistance value, and there is only one contact portion 15 between the ceramic resistor plate 9. If foreign matter is stuck, the resistance value could not be read correctly, so the fuel quantity could not be displayed properly.

따라서, 본 발명은 상술한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 접촉아암의 폭방향 또는 길이방향으로 접점부를 2개 설치하여 연료의 양에 따라 변화하는 저항값을 2곳에서 감지하므로, 1개의 접점부에 이물질이 끼어 있어도 다른 접점부에서 저항값을 감지하여 게이지불량에 의한 작동불량을 1/2로 줄일 수 있으므로 연료탱크 내부의 불순물, 이물질에 의한 운전석 게이지의 오작동을 방지하는 자동차용 연료탱크의 연료량감지장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by installing two contact portions in the width direction or the longitudinal direction of the contact arm to detect the resistance value that changes depending on the amount of fuel in two places, 1 Even if foreign matter is stuck in the two contact parts, the resistance value of the other contact part can be sensed to reduce the malfunction caused by the gauge failure by half, thereby preventing the malfunction of the driver's seat gauge caused by impurities in the fuel tank and foreign matter. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tank fuel level detection device.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명에 의한 자동차용 연료탱크의 연료량감지장치는, 연료탱크내 연료의 양을 감지하는 연료량감지장치에 있어서, 상기 연료탱크내 연료의 양에 따라 회동하는 아암바디와, 상기 아암바디에 일체로 연결되어 연료의 양에 따라 변화하는 저항값을 감지하도록 2개의 접점부가 구비된 접촉아암과, 상기 접점부에서 감지된 2개의 저항값을 입력받아 실제 게이지 저항값을 판독하는 ECU로 구성된 것을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, a fuel amount detecting device for a fuel tank for an automobile according to the present invention includes a fuel body detecting device for detecting an amount of fuel in a fuel tank, the arm body rotating according to the amount of fuel in the fuel tank; A contact arm having two contact parts connected to the arm body and configured to detect a resistance value changing according to the amount of fuel, and reading the actual gauge resistance value by receiving two resistance values sensed at the contact part; It is characterized by consisting of the ECU.

Two contact arms 26 are provided in the width direction (LOW side, HIGH side), and the resistance compensation value f is ⓐ in the rotation section of the conductor part 22 equally divided into LOW side 3Ω and HIGH side 110Ω. , Ⓑ This resistance value is the distance from the resistance determination reference point (k) of two contact distances to ⓐ, ⓑ, and is selected in consideration of the division angle and length.

이하, 상기와 같이 구성된 자동차용 연료탱크의 연료량감지장치의 작용효과를 설명한다.Hereinafter, the effect of the fuel amount detection device of the fuel tank for automobiles configured as described above will be described.

먼저, 저항판정기준점(k)을 중심으로 접촉아암(26)의 폭방향(LOW측, HIGH측)으로 접점부(ⓐ,ⓑ)가 2개 설치된 구조의 제1실시예를 설명한다.First, a first embodiment of the structure in which two contact portions ⓐ, ⓑ are provided in the width direction (LOW side, HIGH side) of the contact arm 26 around the resistance determination reference point k will be described.
