Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of isolation valves, in particular to an oil tank isolation valve with a temporary blocking function. Background Art
[0002] The fuel tank is the main component for storing fuel in a motor vehicle. The fuel in the fuel tank may generate oil and gas due to volatilization, and the oil and gas cannot be directly discharged because it will pollute the atmosphere. In existing motor vehicles, the fuel tank is connected to a carbon canister, which can receive the oil and gas in the fuel tank and allow the oil and gas to enter the engine of the motor vehicle for combustion through desorption. When the oil and gas stored in the carbon canister reaches saturation and fails to be desorbed in time, it is necessary to block the supply of oil and gas in the fuel tank. Therefore, a fuel tank isolation valve is set between the carbon canister and the fuel tank. The fuel tank isolation valve can control the connection and disconnection between the carbon canister and the fuel tank to avoid oversaturation of the oil and gas in the carbon canister, and can also be used to control the pressure in the fuel tank. Chinese patents CN108626450A, CN110486483A and CN113915031A disclose the specific structure of the fuel tank isolation valve. The fuel tank isolation valve is connected to an electronic control system, which controls the opening and closing of the fuel tank isolation valve, thereby controlling the connection and disconnection between the carbon canister and the fuel tank.
[0003] During the production and assembly of motor vehicles, a small amount of fuel needs to be added to the fuel tank in advance on the assembly line in order to inspect the motor vehicles. When adding fuel to the fuel tank, the carbon canister and the fuel tank need to be connected to avoid negative pressure in the fuel tank that makes it impossible to open the fuel tank cap or excessive pressure in the fuel tank that causes fuel to spray out of the refueling port. However, during the production and assembly of motor vehicles, it may be impossible or difficult to provide an electronic control system connected to the fuel tank isolation valve, or the fuel tank isolation valve cannot be connected to the electronic control system at this time, which causes the fuel tank isolation valve to be unable to open the oil and gas channel, and then the fuel tank and the carbon canister cannot be connected, the fuel tank becomes a closed structure, and it is difficult to open the fuel tank cap, which makes the refueling operation more complicated during the production and assembly of motor vehicles, affecting the production efficiency of motor vehicles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their repeated description will be omitted.
[0040] The words expressing positions and directions described in the present utility model are all explained by taking the drawings as examples, but they can be changed as needed, and all the changes are included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an oil tank isolation valve with a temporary blocking function, including an oil and gas channel, a valve body 2, a blocking member 3 and a reset traction member, and may also include a connecting plate 5, an electromagnetic assembly 100 and an elastic member 200.
[0042] The oil and gas passage includes a first passage 11 for connecting to the oil tank, a second passage 12 for connecting to the carbon canister, and a connecting opening 13 for communicating between the first passage 11 and the second passage 12 .
[0043] The valve body 2 includes a main body 21 and a piston 22. The main body 21 and the piston 22 can be integrally formed, and the main body 21 and the piston 22 can be made of metal that can be attracted by magnetic force, so that the valve body 2 can move under the action of magnetic force. The main body 21 can be provided with a blocking groove 211 formed by being recessed from the surface of the main body 21 in a direction away from the connection opening 13, for example, the surface of the main body 21 facing the connection opening 13 is recessed to form the blocking groove 211. The blocking groove 211 can be provided as one or more. When the blocking groove 211 is provided as one, the blocking groove 211 can be an annular groove extending along the circumference of the main body 21. When the blocking groove 211 is provided as multiple, the multiple blocking grooves 211 can be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the main body 21, preferably at equal intervals. The piston 22 is used to block the connection opening 13 so that the oil and gas passage is closed and the carbon canister and the fuel tank are blocked. When the piston 22 is separated from the connection opening 13, the oil and gas passage is opened, and the carbon canister and the fuel tank are connected.
[0044] The electromagnetic component 100 can generate magnetic force to attract the valve body 2 when powered on, so that the piston part 22 of the valve body 2 is away from the connection opening 13 and the oil and gas channel is in an open state, at which time the carbon canister is connected to the fuel tank. Specifically, the electromagnetic component 100 can be arranged on the side of the main body 21 of the valve body 2 away from the connection opening 13. When the electromagnetic component 100 is powered on, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic component 100 attracts the main body 21 of the valve body 2 to move in a direction away from the connection opening 13, and then drives the piston part 22 to move in a direction away from the connection opening 13, so that the fuel tank isolation valve is in an open state, and the valve body 2 is in an open position. Among them, the electromagnetic component 100 can be specifically an electromagnetic coil.
[0045] The elastic member 200 is arranged between the valve body 2 and the electromagnetic assembly 100, specifically, between the main body 21 and the electromagnetic assembly 100. When the electromagnetic assembly 100 attracts the valve body 2 to move away from the connection opening 13, the distance between the valve body 2 and the electromagnetic assembly 100 becomes smaller, so that the elastic member 200 is compressed. When the electromagnetic assembly 100 is powered off, the elastic member 200 will rebound to drive the valve body 2 to move toward the connection opening 13, so that the piston portion 22 of the valve body 2 can block the connection opening 13, thereby making the oil tank isolation valve in a closed state, and the valve body 2 is in a closed position at this time. Among them, the elastic member 200 can be specifically a spring, and more specifically a compression spring.
[0046] Reference Figures 3 to 10 , the blocking member 3 can be engaged in the blocking groove 211 of the main body 21 to support and lock the valve body 2. At this time, the piston part 22 is separated from the connecting opening 13, the oil and gas passage is opened, and the carbon canister is connected to the fuel tank. The blocking member 3 can lock the valve body 2 in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. Specifically, the valve body 2 moves toward the electromagnetic assembly 100 and compresses the elastic member 200, and then releases the valve body 2. The elastic member 200 will tend to move the valve body 2 toward the closed position. In the process of the valve body 2 moving toward the closed position, the blocking member 3 will be engaged in the blocking groove 211 of the main body 21 of the valve body 2, so that the position of the valve body 2 is locked in the intermediate position. At this time, the valve body 2 is located between the open position and the closed position. At this time, the oil and gas passage is in an open state, and the carbon canister is connected to the fuel tank.
[0047] The blocking member 3 may include a main body 31 and a mounting portion 32 and a clamping portion 33 disposed at opposite ends of the main body 31. The main body 31, the mounting portion 32 and the clamping portion 33 may be an integrated structure. The main body 31 may be a strip plate-like structure. The mounting portion 32 is used to connect with the internal parts of the oil tank isolation valve, for example, to connect with the connecting plate 5 inside the oil tank isolation valve, so as to achieve the installation of the blocking member 3. The clamping portion 33 may be clamped to the blocking groove 211 of the main body 21. The clamping portion 33 may include a blocking portion 331 and a snap-fit portion 332 that are connected to each other. The blocking portion 331 may be a strip plate-like structure, and the snap-fit portion 332 is a bent piece extending from the edge of the blocking portion 331 toward the blocking groove 211. When the clamping portion 33 is clamped to the blocking groove 211 of the body 21, the buckling portion 332 will extend into the blocking groove 211, and the wall forming the blocking groove 211 will limit the movement of the buckling portion 332 in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the valve body 2, so that the buckling portion 332 remains in the blocking groove 211. The blocking portion 331 will abut against the surface of the body 21, specifically, the surface of the body 21 forming the blocking groove 211, to support the valve body 2, and the supporting force applied by the blocking portion 331 to the body 21 can offset the elastic force applied by the elastic member 200 to the body 21, so that the valve body 2 is locked.
[0048] There can be multiple blocking members 3. When there are multiple blocking grooves 211, multiple blocking members 3 and multiple blocking grooves 211 can be connected one by one; when the blocking groove 211 is an annular groove, multiple blocking members 3 can be connected to different circumferential positions of the blocking groove 211, and the blocking members 3 can be distributed at circumferential intervals around the blocking groove 211, preferably at equal intervals.
[0049] As a preferred embodiment, in order to simplify the structure of the oil tank isolation valve, the blocking member 3 is provided as one, the main body 21 is provided with a blocking groove 211 , and the valve body 2 is locked by the blocking member 3 .
[0050] The connecting plate 5 is fixed inside the oil tank isolation valve, for example, the connecting plate 5 can be sleeved on the main body 21, and the connecting plate 5 can be fixedly installed inside the oil tank isolation valve by fasteners such as screws. The connecting plate 5 is used to install the blocking member 3 and the reset traction member. Specifically, the connecting plate 5 is provided with a first connecting portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52. The first connecting portion 51 is used to install the blocking member 3, for example, the first connecting portion 51 is connected to the mounting portion 32 of the blocking member 3. The first connecting portion 51 can specifically be a cylindrical structure, and the mounting portion 32 of the blocking member 3 is sleeved on the first connecting portion 51. Among them, the number of the first connecting portions 51 is the same as the number of the blocking members 3 and they are connected one-to-one, and the number of the second connecting portions 52 is the same as the number of the reset traction members and they are connected one-to-one.
[0051] The reset traction member is used to pull the blocking member 3 in a direction away from the valve body 2. When the blocking member 3 is engaged with the blocking groove 211, the reset traction member will keep pulling the blocking member 3 so that the blocking member 3 keeps moving away from the valve body 2. At the same time, the wall forming the blocking groove 211 restricts the movement of the snap-fitting portion 332 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the valve body 2, so that the blocking member 3 remains engaged with the blocking groove 211 to support the locking valve body 2, thereby blocking the valve body 2 from further moving to the closed position. When the blocking member 3 is separated from the valve body 2, the wall forming the blocking groove 211 releases the restriction on the blocking member 3, and the reset traction member will pull the blocking member 3 away from the valve body 2 to the avoidance position. When the blocking member 3 moves to the avoidance position, any part of the blocking member 3 is not located on the moving path of the valve body 2. At this time, the valve body 2 is not hindered by the blocking member 3 when moving between the open position and the closed position. The blocking member 3 and the reset traction member will remain in the fuel tank isolation valve. The functions of the blocking member 3 and the reset traction member are generally one-time. The traction force applied by the reset traction member to the blocking member 3 may be an elastic reset force or a magnetic force, etc. The number of the reset traction members may be the same as the number of the blocking members 3, and the reset traction members are connected to the blocking members 3 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0052] Reference Figures 3 to 7In some specific embodiments, the reset traction member can use an elastic reset force to pull the blocking member 3. Specifically, the reset traction member is an elastic reset member 42. The elastic reset member 42 is connected to the blocking member 3, for example, the other end of the elastic reset member 42 is connected to one end of the main body 31 of the blocking member 3 adjacent to the clamping portion 33, and the end of the main body 31 adjacent to the clamping portion 33 is provided with a protrusion 311, and the protrusion 311 and the side of the main body 31 facing the elastic reset member 42 are jointly surrounded to form a connecting hole 312, and the connecting hole 312 is used to match the elastic reset member 42. When the blocking member 3 is located at the avoidance position, the elastic reset member 42 is in a relaxed state; when the blocking member 3 moves to the blocking groove 211 that is clamped in the valve body 2, the elastic reset member 42 is elastically deformed; when the blocking member 3 is separated from the valve body 2, the elastic reset member 42 is reset and drives the blocking member 3 to move to the avoidance position. Among them, the elastic reset member 42 can be specifically a spring or a torsion spring.
[0053] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the elastic reset member 42 is a spring, the second connection portion 52 may be a plate-like structure with a through hole, and the extension direction of the through hole may be perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve body 2. Hooks 46 are formed at both ends of the elastic reset member 42, one hook 46 of the elastic reset member 42 may be hooked at the through hole of the second connection portion 52, and the other hook 46 may be hooked at the connection hole 312 of the blocking member 3. When the blocking member 3 moves toward the valve body 2 to be engaged in the blocking groove 211 of the valve body 2, the connection hole 312 of the blocking member 3 moves away from the second connection portion 52, thereby increasing the distance between the connection hole 312 and the through hole of the second connection portion 52, and the elastic reset member 42 is stretched and elastically deformed.
[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7When the elastic reset member 42 is a torsion spring, the second connection portion 52 may be a plate-like structure with a through hole, and the extension direction of the through hole may be parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 2. The elastic reset member 42 includes a torsion spring body 45 and two torsion arms 43 connected to the torsion spring body 45. The torsion spring body 45 may be sleeved on the first connection portion 51 or the blocking member 3, and the torsion spring body 45 may be a mounting portion 32 sleeved on the blocking member 3. The two torsion arms 43 of the elastic reset member 42 are respectively formed with a bending section 44, and the bending section 44 is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 2. One torsion arm 43 of the elastic reset member 42 can extend to the second connection portion 52, and the bent section 44 of the torsion arm 43 is inserted into the through hole of the second connection portion 52, so that the torsion arm 43 and the second connection portion 52 remain fixed; another torsion arm 43 of the elastic reset member 42 can extend to the protrusion 311 of the blocking member 3, and the bent section 44 of the other torsion arm 43 is inserted into the connection hole 312 of the blocking member 3, so that the other torsion arm 43 can move with the blocking member 3. When the blocking member 3 moves toward the valve body 2 to be engaged in the blocking groove 211 of the valve body 2, the blocking member 3 will rotate relative to the first connection portion 51, and the torsion arm 43 in the elastic reset member 42 connected to the blocking member 3 will rotate relative to the torsion spring body 45 of the elastic reset member 42 and the torsion arm 43 connected to the second connection portion 52, thereby causing the torsion arm 43 in the elastic reset member 42 connected to the blocking member 3 to generate elastic deformation.
[0055] Reference Figures 8 to 10In some other specific embodiments, the reset traction member can use magnetic force to pull the blocking member 3, and the blocking member 3 can be made of magnetic material, so the blocking member 3 can react to the magnetic field, for example, the blocking member 3 can be attracted by the magnetic force and move, and the blocking member 3 can be made of one or more materials selected from iron, cobalt, nickel and alloys thereof. Specifically, the reset traction member is a magnet 41, and the magnet 41 generates a magnetic force to attract the blocking member 3 to move in a direction away from the valve body 2. The magnet 41 can be arranged on the side of the blocking member 3 away from the valve body 2, and the magnet 41 will attract the blocking member 3 to move toward the magnet 41, thereby making the blocking member 3 away from the valve body 2. When the blocking member 3 is engaged in the blocking groove 211, the wall forming the blocking groove 211 limits the movement of the snap-fit portion 332 of the blocking member 3 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the valve body 2, so as to prevent the blocking member 3 from being attracted by the magnet 41 and moving. When the blocking member 3 is separated from the blocking groove 211, the magnet 41 will attract the blocking member 3 to move to the avoidance position, so that the blocking member 3 will not affect the movement of the valve body 2 in the subsequent normal operation of the oil tank isolation valve. After the blocking member 3 moves to the avoidance position, any part of the blocking member 3 is not located on the moving path of the valve body 2. At this time, the valve body 2 can move between the open position and the closed position without being hindered by the blocking member 3. The blocking member 3 and the magnet 41 will always remain in the oil tank isolation valve, and the role of the blocking member 3 and the magnet 41 is generally one-time. Among them, the magnet 41 can be a permanent magnet, for example, the magnet 41 is a magnet. The number of magnets 41 can be the same as the number of blocking members 3, and the magnets 41 are connected to the blocking members 3 one by one. When the blocking member 3 moves to the avoidance position, the blocking member 3 can fit with the magnet 41.
[0056] To cooperate with the magnet 41 , the second connecting portion 52 may be formed with a groove 521 , the opening direction of the groove 521 is toward the valve body 2 , and the groove 521 is used to accommodate the magnet 41 , for example, the magnet 41 and the groove 521 are interference fit so that the magnet 41 is firmly installed in the groove 521 .
[0057] In some specific embodiments, the first connection portion 51 can be movably connected to the mounting portion 32 of the blocking member 3, for example, the blocking member 3 is movably sleeved on the first connection portion 51. The blocking member 3 as a whole can move relative to the first connection portion 51, for example, the blocking member 3 can rotate around the first connection portion 51 as a whole. When the blocking member 3 is engaged with the blocking groove 211 of the main body 21 and is located at the engaged position (this may be the state of the fuel tank isolation valve when it leaves the factory), the reset traction member pulls the blocking member 3 so that the blocking member 3 maintains a tendency to move to the avoidance position. When the blocking member 3 is separated from the main body 21, the reset traction member can pull the blocking member 3 alone to move to the avoidance position (this may be the state of the fuel tank isolation valve after the vehicle is assembled).
[0058] In some other specific embodiments, the first connection portion 51 can be fixedly connected to the mounting portion 32 of the blocking member 3, for example, the blocking member 3 is interference fit on the first connection portion 51. The blocking member 3 can be a structure with a certain elasticity, specifically, the main body 31 of the blocking member 3 can be an elastic plate. When the blocking member 3 is located in the avoidance position, the blocking member 3 is in a relaxed state. When the blocking member 3 moves to the clamping position (which can be the state of the oil tank isolation valve when it leaves the factory), the clamping portion 33 of the blocking member 3 moves relative to the mounting portion 32, and causes the blocking member 3 to produce elastic deformation, for example, the main body 31 of the blocking member 3 produces elastic deformation; and the reset traction member will pull the blocking member 3 so that the blocking member 3 maintains a tendency to move to the avoidance position. When the blocking member 3 is separated from the main body 21, the blocking member 3 itself will rebound to move to a relaxed state. At the same time, the reset traction member pulls the blocking member 3 to move to an avoidance position (this may be the state of the fuel tank isolation valve after the vehicle is assembled), so that the clamping portion 33 of the blocking member 3 moves to the avoidance position under the simultaneous action of the elastic reset force of the blocking member 3 itself and the traction force of the reset traction member.
