[0002] When a powered vehicle is consuming fuel, the air pressure inside the fuel tank is lower than the external air pressure. When the pressure difference exceeds a certain level, external gas needs to enter to maintain the pressure balance. On the contrary, when the fuel evaporates under high temperature and vibration conditions, the internal air pressure is higher than the external air pressure, and the pressure difference exceeds a certain level, it needs to be discharged to the outside. The fuel tank isolation valve is used between the high-pressure fuel tank and the carbon canister of a powered vehicle. One side is connected to the exhaust system inside the fuel tank, and the other side is connected to the carbon canister. It is driven by an electrical signal to exchange with the atmosphere and balance the pressure inside the fuel tank.

[0003] The prior art with application number 202222280245.7 discloses a solenoid valve for balancing the air pressure in an oil tank, comprising an upper valve body, a middle valve body and a lower valve body. The inner cavity of the upper valve body is connected with the inner cavity of the middle valve body, and a sealing surface is formed at the connection point through a sealing assembly. A circle of flange is provided at the bottom end of the upper valve body, which contacts with the sealing surface to form a first channel; a solenoid valve is fixed in the cavity formed by the connection between the inner cavity of the middle valve body and the inner cavity of the lower valve body, and the solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the sealing assembly to drive the sealing assembly away from the upper valve body to open the first channel; a sealing guide rod is provided in the middle part of the sealing assembly, and the sealing guide rod comprises a sealing joint, a guide rod and a small-diameter spring; a circle of flange is provided at the bottom end of the sealing joint, which contacts with the sealing surface to form a second channel, and the guide rod passes through the through hole and is connected to the solenoid valve through a locking member, and the locking member compresses the small-diameter spring so that the second channel is in a sealed state.

[0006] 2. The existing solenoid valve adopts a single-line and surface sealing method.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model:

[0039] When the solenoid valve is closed, the coil assembly 60 is not energized, the fixed iron core 111 is separated from the movable iron core 112, and the sealing valve sleeve 114 and the sealing guide rod 116 are in a reset state under the action of the large-diameter spring 115 and the small-diameter spring 118. At this time, the fuel tank isolation valve is in a pressure-maintaining state and the current limiting assembly 80 is in a reset state, the fuel vapor is stored in the high-pressure fuel tank, and the pressure in the fuel tank is within the tolerance range of the high-pressure fuel tank;

[0040] When the positive pressure of the fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank exceeds the set value of the fuel tank, the high-pressure gas flows from the second ventilation pipeline 21 to the first ventilation pipeline 11 and forces the sealing guide rod 116 to stretch the small-diameter spring 118 and separate from the sealing valve sleeve 114 to open the gas passage to the first ventilation pipeline 11 so that the fuel and gas can enter the carbon canister. At this time, the fuel tank isolation valve is in a pressure relief state and the flow limiting assembly 80 is in a reset state.

[0041] When the negative pressure of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank exceeds the set value of the fuel tank, the high-pressure gas flows from the first ventilation pipeline 11 to the second ventilation pipeline 21 and forces the movable valve core 113 to compress the large-diameter spring 115 and make the sealing valve sleeve 114 separate from the valve body sealing convex ring 22 to open the gas passage to the second ventilation pipeline 21 so that the fuel and gas can enter the fuel tank. At this time, the fuel tank isolation valve is in the air supply state and the flow limiting component 80 is in the reset state.

[0042] When refueling the fuel tank, the coil assembly 60 is energized to attract the fixed iron core 111 and the moving iron core 112 and use the rubber limit ring 93 to achieve noise reduction. At this time, the high-pressure gas flows from the second ventilation pipeline 21 to the first ventilation pipeline 11 to achieve oil and gas pressure relief in the fuel tank, so that the pressure in the fuel tank is balanced and the flow limiting assembly 80 is in a reset state; further, when the pressure in the fuel tank is relatively large, the high pressure in the fuel tank will force the flow limiting plate 81 to compress the flow limiting spring 83 and close the gas channel between the flow limiting plate 81 and the convex ring on the inner wall of the upper cavity, and the oil and gas continue to flow to the carbon canister through the flow limiting plate 81 and the throttle hole 84 on the flow limiting column 82, while relieving pressure to protect the ROV (ROV: a flip valve is a kind of vehicle The safety device of the fuel tank has the main function of releasing the oil and gas generated at various stages of the vehicle's operation to prevent oil leakage when it is dynamic or stationary; in addition, during the refueling process, when other valves (such as FLVV) are closed, the ROV can also ensure the ventilation requirements of the fuel tank. This design helps to improve the refueling efficiency of the fuel tank and allows accurate fuel levels and more flexible and diverse installation methods; the working principle and design of the ROV take into account the safety and efficiency of the vehicle's fuel system. Through its specific functions and operations, it ensures that the fuel safety and convenience of the vehicle during use are not affected. When the high pressure in the fuel tank reaches the set equilibrium value, the limiting plate 81 is reset under the action of the limiting spring 83.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to the above embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
