Abstract
A fuel container for a motor vehicle has a structural unit that includes of a separator and an activated carbon filter that forms a ventilation device. The structural unit is attached in a chamber for the collection of fuel and has common container for the retention of the separator and the activated carbon filter. The container is mounted on a fuel conveyance unit.
Description
- The invention relates to a fuel tank with a chamber for collecting fuel for a motor vehicle, with a ventilation device, with an activated carbon filter and with a fuel-delivery unit for delivering fuel, the ventilation device having a separator for separating liquid fuel and gases.
- Such fuel tanks usually have a multiplicity of individual ventilation lines fitted on the outside of the fuel tank, and such fuel tanks are known in practice. The separator for separating liquid fuel and gases is often arranged on a filler neck of the fuel tank. The activated carbon filter is usually arranged on or in the fuel tank and is connected to the separator via a further ventilation line.
- The disadvantage with the known fuel tank is that it is very bulky and that arranging components of the ventilation device outside the fuel tank promotes diffusion of fuel to the surroundings.
- The problem on which the invention is based is to develop a fuel tank of the type mentioned in the introduction such that it is a particularly compact construction and largely prevents fuel from escaping into the surroundings.
- This problem is solved according to the invention in that the separator and the activated carbon filter are designed in the form of a structural unit, and in that the structural unit is arranged within the chamber.
- This configuration allows all the parts of the ventilation device which are connected with liquid or gaseous fuel to be arranged within the fuel tank according to the invention. This results in the fuel tank being of particularly compact configuration. Furthermore, the invention makes it possible for the amount of fuel vapors escaping into the surroundings to be kept to a particularly low level.
- The fuel tank according to the invention is particularly straightforward to assemble if the structural unit made up of separator and activated carbon filter is fastened on the fuel-delivery unit. Furthermore, this makes it possible for the structural unit made up of separator and activated carbon filter and the fuel-delivery unit to be inserted into the fuel tank according to the invention through a single installation opening.
- The fuel tank according to the invention is of particularly compact configuration if the structural unit made up of separator and activated carbon filter has a common canister with a partition wall for separating the activated carbon filter from the separator.
- According to another advantageous development of the invention, the situation where fuel penetrates into the activated carbon filter can be reliably avoided if the separator and the activated carbon filter are connected via a valve, and if the valve is designed as a rollover valve and/or anti-slosh valve. For the design of anti-slosh valve, the valve may have, for example, a float element which, upon contact with liquid fuel, closes the connection between the separator and the activated carbon filter. Designing the valve as a rollover valve prevents fuel from running out through the activated carbon filter when the motor vehicle having the fuel tank according to the invention rolls over.
- According to another advantageous development of the invention, the ventilation device requires only a particularly small number of components to be installed if the separator is connected to ventilation lines guided into lateral regions of the chamber.
- According to another advantageous development of the invention, liquid fuel can be channeled away out of the separator particularly straightforwardly if a suction jet pump is arranged in the separator, and if the suction jet pump opens out into the chamber.
- Another advantageous development of the invention contributes to reducing fuel emissions if the structural unit made up of separator and activated carbon filter is spaced apart from a flange which closes an installation opening in the fuel tank. Furthermore, the structural unit can thus be introduced particularly straightforwardly into the fuel tank according to the invention through the installation opening.
- The assembly of the fuel tank according to the invention is further simplified if a fuel-level sensor is arranged on the structural unit made up of separator and activated carbon filter.
- According to another advantageous development of the invention, the activated carbon filter can easily be regenerated, in dependence on an envisaged event, if a switchable regeneration valve is arranged in the connection between the separator and the activated carbon filter, and if the regeneration valve is designed for optionally making or breaking the connection. This configuration reliably avoids influencing of the regeneration of the activated carbon filter by gas exchange with the separator.
- The generation of the activated carbon filter is further simplified if the activated carbon filter can be connected, via a line guided through the flange, to the surroundings and, by way of a regeneration line, to an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle.
- The invention permits numerous embodiments. In order to demonstrate the basic principle of the invention further, one of these embodiments will be described hereinbelow and is illustrated in the drawing, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows, schematically, a sectional illustration through a fuel tank according to the invention, -
FIG. 2 shows a view of a ventilation device with a fuel-delivery unit of the fuel tank fromFIG. 1 , -
FIG. 3 shows, schematically, a sectional illustration through a structural unit made up of ventilation device and activated carbon filter along with adjacent regions of the fuel tank fromFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 1 shows afuel tank 1 for a motor vehicle which is intended for supplying an internal combustion engine (not illustrated) with fuel and has achamber 2, for collecting fuel, and afiller neck 3. A fuel-delivery unit 4 and aventilation device 5 are arranged in thefuel tank 1. Theventilation device 5 has acanister 6, which is arranged in the vicinity of the fuel-delivery unit 4, andventilation lines 7, which lead into lateral regions of themain chamber 2 of thefuel tank 1. Theventilation line 7 may also be provided with further ventilation lines (not illustrated) leading for example into thefiller neck 3. The fuel-delivery unit 4 is prestressed against the base of thefuel tank 1 and is supported on aflange 9, which closes aninstallation opening 8. -
FIG. 2 shows, in perspective, the fuel-delivery unit 4 fromFIG. 1 with thecanister 6 of theventilation device 5. Thecanister 6 of theventilation device 5 is fastened on the fuel-delivery unit 4 and secures a filling-level sensor 10. Furthermore, thecanister 6 of theventilation device 5 is connected to theflange 9 via aline 11, which leads into the surroundings, and via aregenerating line 12. Theregenerating line 12 is guided, for example, to an intake tube (not illustrated) of the internal combustion engine. -
FIG. 3 shows, in a sectional illustration through thecanister 6 of theventilation device 5, that an activatedcarbon filter 13 is arranged in thecanister 6. The activatedcarbon filter 13 and theventilation device 5 thus form a preassemblable structural unit which can be inserted into thefuel tank 1 through theinstallation opening 8. Thecanister 6 contains apartition wall 14 for separating aseparator 15 from the activatedcarbon filter 13. Theseparator 15 separates fuel from gases and has asuction jet pump 16. Thesuction jet pump 16 is supplied by the fuel-delivery unit 4 fromFIG. 1 , via afilter 17 and anon-return valve 18, with fuel as a propellant and delivers into thefuel tank 1 fuel which has been collected in theseparator 15. Theseparator 15 is connected to the activatedcarbon filter 13 via avalve 19. Thevalve 19 is designed in the form of a rollover valve and prevents fuel from running out of thefuel tank 1 through the activatedcarbon filter 13, and theline 11 leading into the surroundings from the activatedcarbon filter 13, when the motor vehicle rolls over. Thevalve 19 is also designed in the form of an anti-slosh valve and, for example when the vehicle goes round a corner, prevents fuel collected in theseparator 15 from sloshing into the activatedcarbon filter 13. Furthermore, aregeneration valve 20 is arranged in the connection between theseparator 15 and the activatedcarbon filter 13. Thisregeneration valve 20 can be closed when the activatedcarbon filter 13 is regenerated.FIG. 3 also shows that thecanister 6 of the structural unit made up ofseparator 15 and activatedcarbon filter 13 is spaced apart from theflange 9.
