Abstract

The device has a forced locking and positive engagement connection produced between the vehicle and a fuel delivery pump which occurs through the axial movement of a docking cone (1) in the direction of a receiving cone (2) on the vehicle. The docking and receiving cones are formed so that in the tank position fuel conduit openings (3,5) and venting conduit openings (4,6) coincide. The docking cone is covered by an axially movable and sprung-located protective cover (7). The receiving cone is sealed at its conduit openings by spring-operated closure caps (8,9). The protective cover opens and closes by axial movement of the docking cone and the closure caps on the receiving cone.

Description

Die Vorrichtung zum automatischen Betanken soll bei der Betankung von Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt werden.The device for automatic refueling is said to Refueling of motor vehicles can be used.

Es sind Tankvorrichtungen bekannt, die nur mit relativ hohem Steuerungsaufwand automatisiert werden können. Die Entlüftungsgase werden teilweise abgesaugt, wobei die Leitungsöffnungen für Kraftstoff und Entlüftung nicht zwangsweise formschlüssig und deckungsgleich sind.There are known tank devices that are only relative high control effort can be automated. The vent gases are partially extracted, whereby the line openings for fuel and ventilation are not necessarily positive and congruent.

OL 20 63 723, OL 25 20 408, OL 24 17 108, OL 28 13 242, DE 33 13 258, DE 38 36 365, DE 40 00 165, DE 39 25 441, DE 39 30 981, DE 40 25 535, DE 40 17 912, DE 41 35 464, DE 42 36 330.

Eine Betankung, wo ein Roboter den Tankverschluß auf- und zuschraubt, diesen Tankverschluß beiseite legt oder ihn in der Greiferhand behält, die Dichtheit der Verbindungsleitun­ gen zwischen Fahrzeug und Tanksäule herstellt und löst, ist sehr kompliziert, und durch die vielen Arbeitsschritte be­ dingt relativ langsam.A refueling where a robot opens and closes the tank cap screwed on, put this fuel cap aside or put it in the gripper hand retains the tightness of the connecting line between the vehicle and the petrol pump very complicated, and due to the many work steps things relatively slowly.

Ziel der Vorrichtung zum automatischen Betanken ist es, mit einfacher und robuster Konstruktion (Kegelprinzip) eine schnellere, leicht justierbare, dichtere (weniger schädliche Dämpfe treten aus, die Durchflußgeschwindigkeit läßt sich erhöhen) und automatische Betankung durchzuführen. Ein Roboter mit der Vorrichtung zum automatischen Betanken kommt mit unkomplizierter Zentrierung und einer Axial- Bewegung aus.The aim of the automatic refueling device is with simple and robust construction (cone principle) a faster, more easily adjustable, denser (less harmful vapors escape, the flow rate can be increased) and perform automatic refueling. A robot with the automatic refueling device comes with uncomplicated centering and an axial Movement out.

Die Vorrichtung zum automatischen Betanken soll nach­ stehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrie­ ben werden.The device for automatic refueling is said to described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment be.

Die Fig. I zeigt die Situation vor bzw. nach dem Betanken. FIG. I shows the situation before and after filling.

Der Andock-Kegel (1) mit seiner Kraftstoffleitungsöffnung (3) und seiner Entlüftungsleitungsöffnung (4) wird von dem durch Federdruck vorgeschobenen Schutzmantel (7) verdeckt. Der Aufnahme-Kegel (2) mit seiner Kraftstoffleitungsöffnung (5) und seiner Entlüftungsleitungsöffnung (6) wird von den federbetätigten Verschlußklappen (8) und (9) abgedichtet.The docking cone ( 1 ) with its fuel line opening ( 3 ) and its ventilation line opening ( 4 ) is covered by the protective jacket ( 7 ) pushed forward by spring pressure. The receiving cone ( 2 ) with its fuel line opening ( 5 ) and its vent line opening ( 6 ) is sealed by the spring-operated flaps ( 8 ) and ( 9 ).

Die Fig. II zeigt den Andock-Vorgang. FIG. II illustrates the docking operation.

Dabei wird während der Axial-Bewegung des Andock-Kegels (1) in Richtung des Aufnahme-Kegels (2) der Schutzmantel (7) zunächst die Verschlußklappen (8) und (9) öffnen.During the axial movement of the docking cone ( 1 ) in the direction of the receiving cone ( 2 ), the protective jacket ( 7 ) will first open the flaps ( 8 ) and ( 9 ).

Bei weiterer Axial-Bewegung schiebt sich der Andock-Kegel (1) unter dein Schutzmantel (7) so hervor, daß seine Kraft­ stoffleitungsöffnung (3) und seine Entlüftungsleitungsöff­ nung (4) mit der Kraftstoffleitungsöffnung (5) und der Entlüftungsleitungsöffnung (6) des Aufnahme-Kegels (2) deckungsgleich sind.With further axial movement, the docking cone ( 1 ) pushes under your protective jacket ( 7 ) so that its fuel line opening ( 3 ) and its ventilation line opening ( 4 ) with the fuel line opening ( 5 ) and the ventilation line opening ( 6 ) Recording cone ( 2 ) are congruent.

Der Durchfluß von Kraftstoff, sowie die Entluftung kann nun mit bekannten Mitteln erfolgen.The flow of fuel, as well as the ventilation can now done with known means.
