Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular to an integrated fuel tank multifunctional valve. Background Art

[0002] The fuel tank isolation valve is a key vehicle fuel system component that is mainly used to manage and control the pressure and volatile gases in the fuel tank. Its main components include valve body, valve core, spring, seal and connection interface. The valve body is usually made of corrosion-resistant materials to resist the erosion of fuel; the valve core is responsible for opening and closing the valve; the spring provides the elastic force required to close the valve; the seal ensures the sealing of the system to prevent fuel leakage; the connection interface is used to connect with the fuel tank and other pipeline systems. In terms of working principle, the fuel tank isolation valve regulates the pressure in the fuel tank by controlling the position of the valve core. Under normal circumstances, the valve is closed to prevent fuel and gas from leaking out. When the pressure in the fuel tank reaches a certain level, the valve will automatically open and release excess gas to maintain the pressure balance of the fuel tank. In addition, in special circumstances such as vehicle stalling or collision, the isolation valve can automatically close to prevent fuel leakage and potential fire risks. In the vehicle system, the fuel tank isolation valve is usually connected to the top, side or external pipeline of the fuel tank and is connected to the fuel evaporation control system. It cooperates with components such as the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injection system to ensure the efficient operation and environmental protection of the fuel system. By effectively managing the emission of fuel vapor, the fuel tank isolation valve not only improves vehicle safety but also complies with strict environmental regulations.

[0003] Existing fuel tank isolation valves usually need to be set with two or more mounting feet, and then fixed on the frame through a bracket. In addition to being independently set, an interface at a 90-degree angle to the valve body needs to be set on the outside, and then the carbon canister, fuel tank and other components are connected to the pipeline through the interface. This setting is not conducive to the spatial layout of the vehicle, especially for some hybrid models. In order to make room for the chassis battery, the chassis space is extremely limited, and the fuel tank gradually tends to be flatter and lower. The independently set isolation valve will greatly affect the capacity of the fuel tank and the integration of the vehicle chassis. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes an integrated fuel tank multifunctional valve, which integrates the control components and installs the entire valve body on the fuel tank sealing part, thereby reducing the space occupied by the valve body and eliminating the need for independent installation. At the same time, under this setting, the valve body interface does not need to be set at a ninety-degree angle with the valve body outside the fuel tank, which can effectively improve the chassis integration and increase the fuel tank capacity under the same design space.

[0027] The integrated fuel tank multifunctional valve of the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0028] (1) The first valve component and the second valve component are combined and arranged, and the first valve component and the second valve component are connected by transmission through the stacked first elastic component and the second elastic component, so that the second valve component cooperates with the first valve component to act during the passive opening and closing process to achieve positive pressure air release and negative pressure air replenishment, effectively improving the integration of control components and reducing the overall space occupied by the valve body. In addition, the valve body is integrated and installed on the oil tank sealing component to reduce the space occupied by the valve body, so that it does not need to be installed independently. At the same time, under this setting, the valve body interface does not need to be arranged at a 90-degree angle with the valve body outside the oil tank, which can effectively improve the chassis integration and increase the oil tank capacity under the same design space;

[0029] (2) The movable part of the driving assembly is arranged to be parallel to the plane of the fuel tank, and the movable direction of the movable part is arranged to be parallel to the plane of the fuel tank, so that the maximum length direction of the shell is parallel to the outer surface of the fuel tank, and the length direction of the shell is prevented from being vertically arranged outside the fuel tank.

[0030] (3) The air passage is connected to the fuel tank through the oil level sealing mechanism. When the fuel enters the inner cavity of the float through the oil inlet, the air inside the float cannot be discharged. Since the air density is lower than that of the fuel, the air will push the float upward as the oil level rises until the float closes the port. At this time, the inside of the fuel tank is closed and no more fuel can be added to the tank, thereby achieving refueling protection and a high degree of interface integration. In addition, there is no need to set a FLVV valve separately in the fuel tank, which reduces the fuel tank assembly procedure and is more conducive to the design of the fuel tank space layout.

[0040] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the integrated fuel tank multifunctional valve of the present invention comprises a mounting member 1, a housing 2, a drive assembly 3, a first valve member 4, a second valve member 5, a first elastic member 6 and a second elastic member 7.

[0042] The mounting member 1 is a fuel tank sealing member, which is used to be installed on the fuel tank and seal the corresponding opening of the fuel tank. Specifically, the mounting member 1 can be selected as a flange, and a limit ring is set on one side of the mounting member 1 for aligning with the fuel tank opening and inserting into the fuel tank. The other side is a flat setting for integrating external components of the fuel tank. The material of the mounting member 1 can be selected from plastic or metal, preferably the same metal material as the fuel tank. When the mounting member 1 is fixed to the fuel tank, a sealing ring can be set to seal the edge portion.

[0043] The shell 2 is fixed to the mounting member 1 in an integral manner, and the shell 2 is provided with an inner cavity 201, an air passage 202, and a valve port connecting the inner cavity 201 and the air passage 202. In this embodiment, the shell 2 can be divided into three parts, namely a main shell, a tail shell, and a built-in shell. The inner cavity 201 and the air passage 202 are both provided on the main shell. The inner cavity 201 of the main shell is cylindrical, and one side is open, and the other side is provided with an air passage 202 extending from the side to the bottom. The main shell is embedded in the mounting member 1 and fixed thereto, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection to ensure air tightness. The tail shell is fixed at The open side of the main shell is convenient for installation after the internal components of the main shell are assembled, and it is also convenient for injection molding of each part of the shell. An interface connecting the inner cavity 201 is set on the rear shell, and the interface is used to connect the carbon canister. The built-in shell is located on the side where the mounting part 1 is inserted into the fuel tank. It is used to close the air duct 202 to form a complete air duct 202, that is, part of the air duct is located in the fuel tank, which will not cause problems such as vertical interfaces and occupy additional vehicle chassis space. This setting is to assemble the shells after injection molding and separately integrate the components that need to be installed.

[0044] The driving component 3 is arranged in the inner cavity 201, and the driving component 3 includes a movable part 31 that can move in a straight line in the inner cavity 201, and the movable direction of the movable part 31 is parallel to the oil tank plane where the mounting part 1 is set. In this embodiment, the driving component 3 uses an electromagnetic assembly, in which the movable part 31 is the movable axis of the electromagnetic assembly. The electromagnetic assembly is horizontally arranged in the embedded 201 of the outer shell 2. The electromagnetic assembly also includes an electromagnetic coil, which is powered on and off to control the lateral movement of the movable part 31. Since the movable part 31 of the electromagnetic assembly is relatively long and has a certain movable stroke, the length direction of the movable part 31 is the movable direction of the driving component 3. In the outer shell 2, the driving component 3 occupies the largest space, so the setting of the outer shell 2 is mainly determined by the driving component 3. In this embodiment, the length direction and the movable direction of the movable part 31 are set to be parallel to the oil tank plane, so that the largest part thereof can be fully close to and connected to the oil tank.

[0045] The first valve component 4 is arranged on the movable part 31 and inserted into the valve port. The valve port is circularly arranged and the first valve component 4 is disc-shaped. In the closed state, that is, when the pressure in the oil tank is balanced with the outside or the difference is small, the first valve component 4 is located in the valve port. The outer diameter of the first valve component 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the valve port. When the oil tank is in a negative pressure state, it is necessary to replenish air from the outside into the oil tank. The first valve component 4 will move toward the airway 202, thereby leaving the valve port, so that the external gas enters the oil tank to balance the pressure inside the oil tank. On the contrary, when the oil tank needs to be exhausted to the outside, the first valve component 4 moves toward the inner cavity 201, and then leaves the valve port. It should be noted that what is described here is the action of the first valve component 4 under the condition of passive pressure balance of the oil tank. The movable part 31 connected to the first valve component 4 can drive the first valve component 4 to move toward the inner cavity 201 during active regulation, thereby actively opening the valve port and allowing the air flow to flow through the valve port.

[0046] It should be noted that the driving assembly 3 can only actively drive the movable portion 31 to move in a direction away from the airway 202 , but cannot drive the movable portion 31 to move toward the airway 202 .

[0047] However, there is a problem in closing the valve port only by setting the first valve component 4, namely, how to ensure that the first valve component 4 is accurately located in the valve port when the pressure is balanced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the valve port is not sealed by the first valve component 4, but a second valve component 5 is also provided. The second valve component 5 is arranged on the outside of the first valve component 4 and contacts the first valve component 4 and the outside of the valve port to cooperate with the first valve component 4 to seal the valve port. During the passive opening and closing process, the second valve component 5 will cooperate with the first valve component 4 to achieve positive pressure air release and negative pressure air replenishment. Specifically, when the positive pressure in the oil tank needs to be exhausted, the gas will press the second valve component 5 and the first valve component 4 to move toward the inner cavity 201 together, thereby opening the valve port. When the negative pressure in the oil tank needs to be replenished, the first valve component 4 alone moves toward the airway 202 to open the valve port.

[0048] The first elastic member 6 is arranged in the inner cavity 201, and one end is connected to the second valve member 5 to hold the second valve member 5 against the outside of the valve port. The other end of the first elastic member 6 is arranged on the driving assembly 3. The first elastic member 6 is preferably a spring, which squeezes the second valve member 5 to close the valve port. When the second valve member 5 moves toward the inner cavity 201, the first elastic member 6 will be deformed under pressure. When the second valve member 5 is not under force, the first elastic member 6 will restore the deformation and push the second valve member 5 to move to the outside of the valve port again. It should be noted that the force of the first elastic member 6 squeezing the second valve member 5 will directly determine the discharge pressure value in the oil tank, that is, when the pressure in the oil tank exceeds the discharge pressure value, the internal gas will be passively discharged to the outside.

[0049] The two ends of the second elastic member 7 are respectively arranged on the movable part 31 and the second valve member 5, so that the first valve member 4 and the second valve member 5 are closely fitted. The second elastic member 7 is preferably a spring, which is mainly used to connect the second valve member 5 and the first valve member 4 to form a secondary opening and closing structure of the first valve member 4 on the second valve member 5. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 6 limits the position of the second valve member 5 so that it is close to the outside of the valve port. On the basis of the second valve member 5, the second elastic member 7 cooperates with the first valve member 4 to clamp the second valve member 5 from both sides, thereby limiting the position of the first valve member 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the free height of the first elastic member 6 is 23.5 mm, the effective number of turns is 6, the action height is 9 mm, and the pressure when closed is 5.7 N. The free height of the second elastic member 7 is 21.5 mm, the effective number of turns is 7, the action height is 5.5 mm, and the pressure when closed is 1.7 N. The air deflation, suction and air replenishment strokes of the first valve member 4 are both 4 mm.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the second valve member 5 includes an annular sheet 51 and a sealing member 52. The annular sheet 51 is arranged on the first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 7. The sealing member 52 is arranged on the annular sheet 51 and is located between the first valve member 4 and the annular sheet 51. The sealing member 52 includes two concentrically arranged sealing edges. The inner sealing edge and the outer sealing edge respectively contact the first valve member 4 and the outer side wall of the valve port to close the valve port.

[0052] The annular sheet 51 is provided with an opening, through which the first valve member 4 can be connected to the movable part 31. An annular protrusion is provided on the outside of the opening, and the second elastic member 7 and the second elastic member 6 are respectively installed through the inner and outer sides of the annular protrusion. It should be noted that the outer diameter of the annular sheet 51 needs to be larger than the inner diameter of the valve port.

[0053] In order to connect the first valve member 4 and the movable part 31, a connecting column 8 is further provided, one end of which is provided on the movable part 31, and the other end is fixed to the first valve member 4. The second elastic member 7 is coaxially provided with the first elastic member 6, and is sequentially sleeved on the outside of the connecting column 8. Specifically, the connecting column 8 and the first valve member 4 are integrally injection-molded, and a lateral slot is provided at the end of the connecting column 8, and a U-shaped structure is also provided. The end of the movable part 31 is inserted into the slot and limited by the U-shaped structure to realize the connection between the connecting column 8 and the movable part 31. The connection is radial, so when the movable part 31 moves axially, it will not be separated from the connecting column 8.

[0054] In addition, in terms of spatial layout, in order to further optimize the volume of the valve component, the second elastic component 7 is sleeved onto the outside of the connecting column 8, and the first elastic component 6 is sleeved onto the outside of the second elastic component 7 to form a coaxial multi-layer stacked structure, thereby avoiding the first elastic component 6 and the second elastic component 7 being arranged on both sides of the second valve component 5, thereby preventing the entire length of the valve body from increasing.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the driving assembly 3 includes a protective shell 32, which is cylindrical and fixed in the outer shell 2. The movable part 31 is arranged in the protective shell 32. The outer diameter of the protective shell 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer shell 2 to form an air flow channel in the inner cavity 201.

[0056] A base is also provided inside the outer shell 2. Specifically, the base is provided in the inner cavity 201. The base includes at least two bosses distributed around the outside of the second valve member 5. The protective shell 32 is fixed on the base. At the same time, channels for airflow are formed between the bosses, that is, the airflow channel is connected to the valve port, so that when the carbon canister is connected to the interface on the tail shell, the valve port can be connected.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the shell can only be set to cover the outside of the driving component 3, and the driving component has a movable part 31 and a certain stroke, its length direction will directly determine the size of the shell 2. In order to reduce the space occupied by the entire valve body, the shell 2 is horizontally arranged on the mounting member 1 and embedded in the mounting member 1 so that the air duct 202 is connected to the inside of the oil tank, thereby maximizing the reduction of the installation space occupied by the shell 2, which is more conducive to the space design layout of the vehicle chassis.

[0058] In the fuel tank, a mechanical FLVV valve is usually required to be separately set to control refueling, but this setting will result in a large number of components separately set and installed on the fuel tank, which is inconvenient to repair and maintain. Therefore, in this embodiment, an oil level sealing mechanism 9 is also integrated. The oil level sealing mechanism 9 is integrated on the outer shell 2 and connected to the air passage 202. The oil level sealing mechanism 9 is used to connect or block the connection between the air passage 202 and the inside of the fuel tank. By connecting the air passage 202 with the fuel tank through the set oil level sealing mechanism 9, a high degree of interface integration can be achieved, and there is no need to separately set an FLVV valve in the fuel tank, which reduces the fuel tank assembly procedure and is more conducive to the design of the fuel tank space layout.

[0059] It should be noted that the oil level sealing mechanism 9 mainly plays a mechanical auxiliary refueling restriction function. During normal refueling, refueling is mainly completed by the valve body, and the refueling restriction mechanism will not interfere with the active control of the valve body. However, when the oil level sensor or other sensors fail, or the signal transmission is interrupted, it is difficult for the valve body to actively control according to the electrical signal. At this time, the oil level sealing mechanism 9 is a further guarantee for the valve body function, realizing mechanical refueling closure to prevent overflow after the fuel is full.

[0060] Specifically, the oil level sealing mechanism 9 includes an oil level shell 91, a floating member 92 and a third elastic member 93. The oil level shell 91 is fixed to the outer shell 2 in one piece. A through opening is provided on the outer shell 2, and the through opening connects the airway 202 and the oil level shell 91. The oil level shell 91 is provided with an oil inlet 911 and an oil filter hole 912. The floating member 92 is movably arranged in the oil level shell 91. The floating member 92 is arranged in a cylindrical shape with an opening on one side. The open side cover of the floating member 92 is arranged on the outside of the oil filter hole 912. The floating member 92 can move toward the through opening and block the through opening. The two ends of the third elastic member 93 are respectively arranged on the oil level shell 91 and the floating member 92, and are used to push the floating member 92 toward the through opening.

[0061] The oil level shell 91 includes two parts, an upper part and an lower part, wherein the upper part is integrally formed with the built-in shell of the outer shell 2, and the bottom of the upper part is open, and the lower part is inserted into the upper part and fixed in place. The floating member 92 is a metal member or a plastic member, which is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, and is open on one side toward the lower part of the oil level shell 91, and closed on the other side, forming a buoyancy chamber with an open side. The oil inlet 911 is provided in the upper part of the oil level shell 91, and the oil filter hole 912 is provided on the lower part of the oil level shell 91. Specifically, four oil filter holes 912 are provided, and all are located on the open side of the floating member 92. When the fuel enters the oil level shell 91 through the oil inlet 911, the air inside the floating member 92 cannot be discharged, and the air density is lower than the fuel density. As the oil level rises, the floating member 92 is pushed to move upward until the floating member 92 closes the opening. At this time, the inside of the fuel tank is closed and cannot Continue to add oil to the fuel tank. The third elastic member 93 is preferably a spring. The third elastic member 93 is arranged inside the floating member 92, and a convex piece for fixing the end of the third elastic member 93 is arranged on the lower part of the oil level shell 91. The third elastic member 93 has an elastic force to support the floating member 92, which is equivalent to having a pre-upward force, and the floating member 92 can be easily and sensitively floated with the buoyancy. If the third elastic member 93 is not used, floating only by oil is very slow, and the force is too small and not sensitive. In addition, another function of the third elastic member 93 is that when the vehicle tilts, the floating member 92 slides quickly under the action of the third elastic member 93 to block the opening to prevent oil from accidentally entering the main valve body. The third elastic member 93 can be designed to adjust the elastic force at the tilting angle. The oil filter hole 912 is used to allow the oil at the bottom of the floating member 92 to discharge from the oil level shell 91 when the floating member 92 moves downward.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, a pair of columns 913 are provided in the oil level housing 91 , a slideway is formed between two adjacent columns 913 , and a convex strip extending into the slideway is provided on the outer side of the floating member 92 to guide the movement of the floating member 92 .

[0063] In order to prevent the floating member 92 from being unable to accurately block the opening during the floating process, a column 913 and a convex strip structure on the outside of the floating member 92 are provided to guide the moving direction of the floating member 92, thereby preventing it from being offset during the movement and affecting its own function, thereby improving the stability of the structural member.

[0064] In order to further improve the reliability of the floating member 92 when sealing the opening, the oil level sealing mechanism 9 also includes a sealing gasket 94. A protrusion is provided on the top of the floating member 92, and the sealing gasket 94 is sleeved on the protrusion. The diameter of the protrusion is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening, and the outer diameter of the sealing gasket 94 is larger than the inner diameter of the opening. When the sealing gasket 94 seals the opening, it produces elastic deformation, thereby further improving the sealing effect.

[0065] As a further integrated setting of the valve body, the shell 2 is also provided with a built-in valve body interface 203 and an external valve body interface 204, both of which are connected to the airway 202, and the built-in valve body interface 203 and the external valve body interface 204 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting part 1.

[0066] The built-in valve body interface 203 can be connected to valve components such as the ROV replenishing valve in the fuel tank. When the ROV replenishing valve is connected, the vehicle can be protected from rollover to prevent fuel leakage to the outside and reduce the risk of fire. Or when the vehicle is tilted, rolled over or vibrates violently, the valve will close quickly to avoid fuel leakage.

[0067] The external valve body interface 204 is used to detect the leakage of the LCO refueling pipe during OBD diagnosis. When the OBD diagnosis command turns on the electromagnet, the circulation pipe can be connected for diagnosis.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
