Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and specifically relates to a combination control valve for automotive fuel tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a major factor affecting ambient ozone levels and are also important precursors to secondary organic aerosols. Controlling VOC pollution is crucial for controlling air pollution in major Chinese cities. Besides industrial emissions, hydrocarbon emissions from automobiles are also a major source of VOC emissions.
[0003] HC emissions from automobiles come not only from engine exhaust and fuel evaporation, but also from CH emissions generated during refueling. While advancements in engine emission control and EVAP (Electric Vehicle Access Assist) technology have effectively controlled HC emissions from exhaust and fuel evaporation, HC emissions from fuel evaporation during refueling can no longer be ignored.
[0004] To meet the China VI emission standards, the car is equipped with an on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system. The ventilation pipe transports the oil vapor generated during refueling to the charcoal canister for adsorption. When the engine is running, the oil vapor in the charcoal canister is desorbed and sent to the intake manifold to participate in combustion.
[0005] Vehicles equipped with ORVR typically use both a filler valve and a rollover valve on their fuel tanks. In the prior art, there is a novel combined valve for automotive fuel tanks, with patent application number: 202010625710.9; Application Date: 2020-07-02; Publication Number: CN111609198A; Publication Date: 2020-09-01; This combination valve integrates the fuel filler valve and the rollover valve into a single assembly. It prevents fuel from dynamically leaking into the carbon canister through a built-in accumulator chamber. However, its drawback is that the capacity of the accumulator chamber is solely determined by the height of the exhaust outlet. Increasing the exhaust outlet height to increase the fuel capacity hinders the smooth discharge of fuel vapors. If the exhaust outlet height is set too low and the fuel level in the tank is high, the vehicle may experience vertical bumps or tilting during driving, causing fuel to slowly seep into the carbon canister. Over time, this accumulation leads to a large amount of fuel stored in the carbon canister, resulting in excessively high fuel concentration. When the carbon canister solenoid valve opens, the high concentration of fuel vapor enters the engine, causing black smoke or even engine stalling. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined control valve for an automotive fuel tank, which separates oil vapor and liquid in the fuel tank, prevents dynamic leakage of fuel into the carbon canister during vehicle operation, and reduces fuel tank emissions.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A combined control valve for an automotive fuel tank, comprising a flange, the flange comprising a receiving cavity, an oil-gas separator disposed within the receiving cavity, the oil-gas separator comprising an isolation plate, a base plate, and a circular boss, dividing the receiving cavity into an exhaust cavity and a liquid accumulation cavity, a valve body shell disposed below the base plate, the valve body shell engaging with the oil-gas separator to form a combined control valve cavity, the combined control valve cavity comprising a level control valve cavity and a tipper valve cavity, a level control valve core and a tipper valve core respectively disposed within the level control valve cavity and the tipper valve cavity, a level control valve exhaust hole disposed on the base plate corresponding to the level control valve core, an exhaust hole for the liquid accumulation cavity disposed on the isolation plate, and a tipper valve exhaust hole disposed within the circular boss corresponding to the tipper valve core, the exhaust cavity being connected to at least one exhaust pipe.
[0008] With the structure of this invention, when the fuel nozzle fills the fuel tank, the liquid level in the tank continuously rises. At this time, the liquid level control valve core detaches from the base plate under its own gravity, and the tipper valve core detaches from the circular boss under its own gravity. The oil vapor in the tank enters the flange's vent chamber through the vent hole of the liquid level control valve and the vent hole of the accumulating liquid chamber. The diameter of the tipper valve vent hole is much smaller than that of the control valve vent hole, so the vent flow rate is small and negligible compared to the vent volume of the tipper valve vent hole. A small portion of the oil vapor is transported to the circulation pipe of the fuel filling pipe for recirculation through the vent pipe connected to the flange; another portion is transported to the charcoal canister for adsorption. When the liquid level in the tank continues to rise until gasoline enters the liquid level control valve chamber, the liquid level control valve core is affected by the oil... Buoyancy overcomes its own weight and rises until the top and bottom plates form a sealing surface. The fuel vapors inside the tank cannot escape, causing the pressure inside the tank to rise, and the refueling nozzle stops. After the first nozzle stop, the level control valve is closed, and the fuel vapors in the tank can be discharged through the vent hole of the tip-over valve. At this time, refueling can be added to the tank. When the vehicle is in a bumpy state or even rolls over, the fuel vapors in the tank rush into the liquid accumulation chamber through the vent hole of the level control valve. The gas first enters the venting chamber through the vent hole of the liquid accumulation chamber and is discharged along a certain path, while the liquid temporarily remains in the liquid accumulation chamber, thus preventing the liquid from entering the charcoal canister. When the vehicle reaches a stable state, the liquid inside the liquid accumulation chamber flows back into the fuel tank through the vent hole of the level control valve, ensuring the normal operation of subsequent venting.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the liquid level control valve and the tipper valve in the combined valve can be connected to the circulation pipe and the charcoal canister simultaneously. During refueling, most of the oil vapor in the fuel tank is discharged into the charcoal canister through the vent hole of the liquid level control valve and the vent hole of the accumulator chamber and is adsorbed. A small portion of the oil vapor is transported to the refueling pipe through the circulation pipe to achieve vapor recirculation, thereby reducing the workload of the charcoal canister. The vent pipe of the flange eliminates the need for an additional pipeline connection between the liquid level control valve and the tipper valve, thereby reducing the penetration of HC at the fuel tank opening. The volume of the accumulator chamber is fixed and is not affected by the vent hole of the accumulator chamber. The vent hole of the accumulator chamber is located above the accumulator chamber and is offset from the vent hole of the tipper valve, which can effectively prevent the dynamic leakage of fuel liquid into the charcoal canister.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, an arc-shaped baffle is provided around the vent hole of the liquid accumulation cavity on the isolation plate, and vent ports of the liquid accumulation cavity are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped baffle.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a tipping guide seat 705 is provided at the center of the tipping valve cavity corresponding to the valve body shell 7. The tipping valve core includes a tipping float 17, which includes a mounting groove 1701. A tipping spring 18 is provided in the mounting groove 1701. The lower end of the tipping spring 18 is sleeved on the tipping guide seat 705. The top of the tipping float 17 has a sloping structure and is provided with a sealing element 19 parallel to the sloping surface. A sealing gasket cover 20 is sleeved at the highest point of the sealing element 19. A sloping boss 405 that cooperates with the sealing element 19 is provided at the center of the circular boss 4. The sloping design allows the sealing element 19 to fit better with the sloping boss 405, thereby improving its stability and preventing leakage caused by shaking of the sealing surface. Several guide strips 706 are provided around the tipping valve core of both the valve body shell 7 and the circular boss 4. Limiting grooves 17021201 are provided on the tipping float 17 corresponding to the guide strips 706.
[0037] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the fuel nozzle fills the fuel tank, the liquid level in the tank rises continuously. At this time, the liquid level control float 12, under its own weight and the force of the liquid level control spring 13, causes the sealing cover 15 to separate from the shell. The oil vapor in the tank enters the exhaust chamber 5 of the flange 1 through the exhaust port 301 of the liquid level control valve and the exhaust port 201 of the liquid accumulation chamber. The diameter of the exhaust port 401 of the tipper valve is much smaller than that of the control valve exhaust port 301, so the exhaust flow rate is small and can be ignored compared with the exhaust volume of the tipper valve exhaust port 401. A small part of the oil vapor is sent to the circulation pipe of the fuel filling pipe for recirculation through the first exhaust pipe 102, and the other part is transported to the carbon canister through the second exhaust pipe 103 to be adsorbed. As the fuel level in the tank continues to rise until gasoline enters the level control valve chamber through the inlet 701, the level control float 12 rises against its own weight and the force of the level control spring 13 due to the buoyancy of the fuel. This rises until the sealing cap 15 and the vent hole 301 of the level control valve form a sealing surface. The fuel vapor in the tank cannot be discharged, causing the pressure inside the tank to rise, and the fuel nozzle stops. After the first dispensing, the level control valve is closed, and the fuel vapor in the tank can be discharged through the tipper valve vent hole 401 and the tipper valve vent port 404. At this time, the fuel can be refilled. The head valve 21 above the vent hole keeps the internal pressure of the fuel tank stable to control excessive refilling. When the car is driving on a bumpy road, the fuel vapor in the tank flows into the accumulator 6 through the vent 301 of the level control valve. The vapor first enters the exhaust chamber 5 through the vent 201 of the accumulator 6 and is discharged along a certain path, while the liquid is temporarily stored in the accumulator 6, thus preventing the liquid from entering the charcoal canister. When the vehicle is in a stable state, the liquid inside the accumulator 6 flows back into the fuel tank through the vent 301 of the level control valve, ensuring the normal operation of subsequent exhaust. When the car overturns, some gasoline in the accumulator 6 may flow out through the vent 201 of the accumulator 6. Under the action of the arc-shaped baffle 9, most of the oil is blocked and flows back to the bottom of the accumulator 6. A small amount of oil flows into the exhaust chamber 5. After being further blocked by the baffle plate 22 and the third baffle 206, it cannot flow into the second exhaust pipe 103, and instead flows along the guide plate 23 to the return hole 202 and back into the accumulator 6.
[0038] The advantages of this invention are as follows: the fuel tank is connected to the charcoal canister using this combined control valve, and a circulation pipe forms a passage to the refueling pipe. By adding a CVS (Canister Vent Solenoid), the opening and closing control of the charcoal canister's vent can be realized, supporting the monitoring of the airtightness of the entire system. The design of the built-in oil-gas separator in flange 1 can effectively prevent dynamic leakage of fuel liquid into the charcoal canister, reducing production costs compared to an external liquid collector. The level control valve, tipper valve, and gasoline separator are integrated into one body inserted into flange 1, eliminating the need for connecting nylon pipes between valve bodies, reducing the number of openings in the fuel tank and lowering the overall cost of the fuel tank. At the same time, the closing height of the built-in control valve and tipper valve can be flexibly adjusted according to different rated refueling and exhaust volume requirements.
