AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing carbon canister is rotated 180°, the adsorption opening is located at the lower part of the liquid accumulation chamber, which makes the volume of the liquid accumulation chamber unable to meet the design requirements, increasing the cost of mold modification and affecting the platformization rate.

Method used

A multi-directional carbon canister with an adjustable adsorption port position in the liquid accumulation chamber was designed. By setting an adsorption plate slot and an adsorption plate on the top of the carbon canister shell, the position of the adsorption port can be adjusted by using the snap-fit ​​structure between the adsorption plate and the slot, ensuring that the adsorption port is located at a higher position in the liquid accumulation chamber to meet the volume design requirements.

Benefits of technology

This technology enables the carbon canister to meet the liquid accumulation chamber volume design requirements even when installed in multiple directions, reducing the overall vehicle development cost and improving the platformization rate and installation flexibility of the carbon canister.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to a multi-directional carbon canister with an adjustable liquid collection chamber adsorption port position and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Automobiles are non-rail-borne vehicles driven by power and having four or more wheels. They are mainly used to transport people and goods, and to haul vehicles carrying people and goods. Automobiles are a daily means of transportation and have brought convenience to our lives. Automobiles are equipped with many accessories, one of which is the carbon canister. As a key component of the fuel evaporative pollutant control system, the carbon canister accounts for a large proportion of the cost of the fuel system. The platform application of carbon canisters is particularly important for improving the overall vehicle cost.

[0003] During the selection and layout of the charcoal canister, the orientation of each pipe opening must be comprehensively determined by considering factors such as the location of the fuel tank, the chassis piping routing, the exhaust pipe location, and the location of the vent. The adsorption opening of the charcoal canister shell is often an integral injection-molded structure. To meet the volume requirements of the liquid accumulation chamber, it is often positioned higher up in the chamber to effectively separate gas and liquid. However, if the charcoal canister is rotated 180° for application, the adsorption opening of the shell will be located at a lower position in the liquid accumulation chamber, and the volume of the liquid accumulation chamber will not meet the design requirements. This necessitates the replication and modification of the charcoal canister shell mold, resulting in higher investment costs and affecting the platformization rate of the charcoal canister, thus increasing the overall vehicle development cost.

[0004] Document (CN 211174392 U) discloses a carbon canister liquid collector with a built-in liquid collection chamber, comprising a body, an adsorption / desorption port at the upper end of the body, and a pressure cap installed on the adsorption / desorption port. The key feature is that the pressure cap and the body are integrated, and a liquid collection chamber is installed inside the body. However, the liquid collection chamber described in the document does not fundamentally solve the technical problem that when the carbon canister is rotated 180° for application, the adsorption opening of the shell will be located at the lower part of the liquid collection chamber, and the volume of the liquid collection chamber cannot meet the design requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by devising a multi-directionally mounted carbon canister and automobile with an adjustable adsorption port position in the liquid accumulation chamber. The adsorption opening position of the carbon canister shell is adjustable without affecting the carbon canister shell, thus solving the design requirements for the volume of the liquid accumulation chamber when arranging carbon canisters in multiple directions.

[0006] One of the technical solutions adopted to realize the present invention is: a multi-directional charcoal canister with adjustable adsorption port position in the liquid accumulation chamber, comprising: a charcoal canister shell 1 and an adsorption liquid accumulation chamber 6, characterized in that it further comprises: a charcoal canister shell adsorption plate 3, a through hole provided at the top of the charcoal canister shell 1, an adsorption plate slot 2 provided at the edge of the through hole at the top of the charcoal canister shell 1, the slot 2 being fixedly connected to the charcoal canister shell 1, the charcoal canister shell adsorption plate 3 being engaged with the adsorption plate slot 2, the charcoal canister shell adsorption plate 3 comprising: an adsorption plate 4 and an adsorption port 5, the adsorption port 5 being provided on the left side of the adsorption plate 4, the adsorption port 5 being a through hole, the adsorption liquid accumulation chamber 6 being provided on the upper part of the charcoal canister shell adsorption plate 3, and the adsorption liquid accumulation chamber 6 being welded to the charcoal canister shell 1.

[0007] Furthermore, the adsorption liquid accumulation chamber 6 includes: a liquid accumulation chamber shell 7 and an adsorption pipe connector 8. The adsorption pipe connector 8 is provided on the top of the liquid accumulation chamber shell 7 and is connected to the interior of the liquid accumulation chamber shell 7.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid accumulation chamber shell 7 and the adsorption tube connector 8 are integrally injection molded structures.

[0009] Furthermore, the adsorption plate 4 and the adsorption port 5 are integrally injection molded structures.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid accumulation chamber shell 7 and the adsorption tube connector 8 are made of Q235 material.

[0011] The second technical solution adopted to realize the present invention is: an automobile, including a vehicle body, characterized in that a multi-directional carbon canister with an adjustable position of the liquid accumulation chamber adsorption port is installed on the vehicle body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention, which relates to a multi-directional carbon canister with an adjustable liquid collection chamber adsorption port position and a car, are as follows:

[0013] A multi-directional charcoal canister and automobile with adjustable adsorption port position for the liquid accumulation chamber are disclosed. An adsorption plate slot is provided on the top of the charcoal canister shell, with a through hole within the slot and an adsorption port on the adsorption plate. The adsorption plate and the slot are interference-fitted. By adjusting the installation position of the adsorption plate on the charcoal canister shell, the position of the adsorption port on the adsorption plate meets the installation requirements without affecting the charcoal canister shell. This solves the problem of meeting the liquid accumulation chamber volume design requirements even when the charcoal canister is installed in multiple directions, enabling the charcoal canister to have multi-directional installation performance. The design is reasonable, the structure is simple, and the structure is universal, resulting in good performance, especially suitable for the China VI emission standard. This improves the platformization rate of charcoal canisters and reduces the overall vehicle development cost. Attached Figure Description
