Description
Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen des Brennstoffstandes in Brennstoffbehältern von Kraftfahrzeugen. Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen des Brennstoffstandes in Brennstoffbehältern von Kraftfahrzeugen mittels eines Schwimmers, der beim Heben und Senken einen permanenten Magneten verdreht. Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß der permanente Magnet bei seiner Drehung eine über ihm gelagerte Kontaktscheibe mitdreht; welche in dem Deckel eines zur Aufnahme des Schwimmers des Magneten dienenden, in den Brennstoffbehälter eingesetzten Gehäuses gelagert ist. Durch die Kontaktscheibe wird bei ihrer Drehung eine an sie angeschlossene Lampenreihe zwecks Anzeigens des-jeweiligen Brennstoffstandes selbsttätig eingeschaltet.Device for displaying the fuel level in fuel containers of motor vehicles. The invention relates to a device for displaying the fuel level in the fuel tanks of motor vehicles by means of a float, which when lifted and lowering a permanent magnet twisted. The invention consists in that the permanent magnet as it rotates has a contact disc mounted above it turns; which in the lid of a serving to accommodate the float of the magnet, stored in the housing inserted into the fuel container is. By the contact disc becomes a series of lamps connected to it as it rotates automatically switched on for the purpose of displaying the respective fuel level.
Die Erfindung kann auch in der Weise ausgeführt werden, daß die Kontaktscheibe mit einem außerhalb des Brennstoffbehälters liegenden elektrischen Widerstand verbunden ist, an welchen die einzelnen Kontakte hintereinander angeschlossen sind, und wobei eine nach. dem Prinzip des Voltmeters ausgebildete Anzeigevorrichtung mit dem Widerstand vereinigt ist.The invention can also be carried out in such a way that the contact disc connected to an electrical resistor located outside the fuel container is to which the individual contacts are connected in series, and where one after. Display device with resistance based on the principle of the voltmeter is united.
In der Zeichnung sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt.Two exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown schematically in the drawing shown.
Abb. i zeigt im Schnitt einen Behälter mit der Anzeigevorrichtung, die mit einem Kontakt zum Schalten einer Anzahl Lampen vereinigt ist.Fig. I shows a section of a container with the display device, which is combined with a contact for switching a number of lamps.
Abb. 2 zeigt den zugehörigen Gr undriß. Abb.3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem an Stelle der Lampenreihe ein Widerstand und ein Voltmeter an den Kontakt angeschlossen ist.Fig. 2 shows the associated outline. Fig.3 shows an embodiment, where instead of the row of lamps, a resistor and a voltmeter are connected to the contact connected.
Im Behälter a befinden sich die Führungen b für einen Schwimmer c, der auf einem Gewindegang einer Führungsstange d verschiebbar ist. Auf das Ende der Stange d ist ein permanenter Magnet e aufgesetzt. Jede Änderung des Flüssigkeitsspiegels im Behälter bewirkt unter Vermittlung des geradlinig geführten Schwimmers c eine Drehung der Stange d und des mit dieser verbundenen Magneten e in der einen oder anderen Richtung. Diesem Magneten gegenüber, von ihm durch eine Abschlußwand f getrennt, ist in dem Deckel eines zur Aufnahme des Schwimmers und des Magneten dienenden, in den Brennstoffbehälter eingesetzten Gehäuses eine Kontaktscheibe h drehbar gelagert, welche bei der Drehung des Magneten e von ihm mitgenommen wird und dabei auf im Gehäusedeckel fest und im Kreise angeordnete Gegenkontakte i einwirkt. Diese sind durch Leitungen k mit einer gleich großen Anzahl von Lampen verbunden, welche in eine am Apparatbrett o. dgl. befestigte Scheibe l eingesetzt sind. Die Kontaktscheibe h, die Kontakte i und die Lampen liegen zusammen mit einem Ausschalter in in dem Stromkreise einer Batterie. Beim Schließen des Batteriestromes leuchtet jeweils diejenige Lampe auf, welche durch die Kontaktscheibe h selbsttätig eingeschaltet ist. Neben den Lampen ist der Inhalt des Brennstoffbehälters vermerkt.In the container a there are the guides b for a float c, which is displaceable on a thread of a guide rod d. A permanent magnet e is placed on the end of the rod d. Any change in the liquid level in the container causes the rod d and the magnet e connected to it to rotate in one direction or the other through the intermediary of the straight float c. Opposite this magnet, separated from it by an end wall f, a contact disk h is rotatably mounted in the cover of a housing used to hold the float and the magnet and inserted in the fuel container acts on mating contacts i arranged in a circle and fixed in the housing cover. These are connected by lines k to an equal number of lamps which are inserted into a disk 1 attached to the apparatus board or the like. The contact disk h, the contacts i and the lamps are together with a circuit breaker in in the circuit of a battery. When the battery power is closed, that lamp lights up which is automatically switched on by the contact disk h. The contents of the fuel container are noted next to the lamps.
Diese Einrichtung hat den Vorteil, daß auch bei Nacht der Brennstoffstand ohne weiteres abgelesen werden kann.This device has the advantage that the fuel level is also maintained at night can be easily read.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Abb. 3 tritt an die Stelle der Lampen ein Widerstand n. Die Leitungen, die von den einzelnen Kontakten i ausgehen, werden hintereinander an den Widerstand angeschlossen, so daß je nach dem Kontaktschluß der Strom durch eine größere oder kleinere Anzahl Windungen fließt. Mit dem Widerstand ist eine nach dem Prinzip des Voltmeters ausgebildete Einrichtung o verbunden, die gemäß der Stromstärke den Inhalt des Behälters anzeigt.In the embodiment of Fig. 3 takes the place of the lamps a resistor n. The lines going out from the individual contacts i will be connected in series to the resistor, so that depending on the contact closure the current flows through a greater or lesser number of turns. With the resistance a device designed on the principle of the voltmeter is connected to the shows the contents of the container according to the current intensity.
