filling device

Abstract

The present invention provides a filling device. When the pipe joint of the filling nozzle is connected to the filling port (socket) on the vehicle side, the rod is reliably located on the radially outer side of the protrusion at the top end of the clutch, so that the pipe joint of the filling mouth and the vehicle can be continuously maintained. The status of the side fill port connection. A filling device (100) comprising a hydrogen storage container (50) and a filling method for filling hydrogen from the storage container (50) to a vehicle-mounted hydrogen filling container (41) mounted on a vehicle through a fuel filling system and a vehicle-side filling port (20). A nozzle (10), wherein the filling device is provided with: a clutch mechanism (12), which maintains the filling nozzle (10) and the vehicle side filling port (20) in a connected state; and a lever position moving mechanism (13: lever movement assisting Components 14, etc.) that position the lever (5) radially outward of the vehicle side filling port (20) side tip of the clutch mechanism (12) when the filling nozzle (10) is connected to the vehicle side filling port (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filling device for filling gas such as hydrogen used as fuel, for example. Background technique [0002] For example, regarding vehicles running on hydrogen as fuel, such as Image 6 As shown, at a hydrogen filling place equipped with a hydrogen storage container 50 and a fuel filling system (dispenser 60, filling hose 45, etc.), the filling nozzle 30 is connected to a receptacle (receptacle, socket) 40 serving as a filling port on the vehicle side. Hydrogen gas is filled, and this filling is performed while controlling according to the maximum operating pressure of the hydrogen tank 41 mounted on the vehicle A. In addition, reference numeral 51 denotes a piping system for supplying hydrogen from the hydrogen storage container 50 to the distributor 60 . Regarding such a hydrogen filling device, the present applicant has already proposed a technical proposal (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). This hydrogen fi...

[0004] But when Figure 7 In the prior art shown, if the rod 35 is not moved toward the direction close to the socket 40 when the pipe joint 31 of the nozzle 30 is connected to the socket 40 serving as the filling port on the vehicle side, the rod 35 is not located in the clutch 34. If the protrusion 34A at the tip is radially outward, the protrusion 34A of the clutch 34 may disengage from the fitting groove 40B, causing the filling nozzle 30 to disengage from the insertion hole 40.
