Betankungsvorrichtungrefueling device

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung, insbesondere eine Flüssigwasserstoff-Betankungskupplung.The invention relates to an arrangement for the movable mounting of a refueling coupling, in particular a liquid hydrogen refueling coupling.

Bisher gilt in der Praxis, dass manuell betätigbare Betankungskupplungen von dem jeweiligen Benutzer zum Betanken eines Fahrzeuges aus ihrer "Parkposition" entnommen, zum zu betankenden Fahrzeug geführt und an dieses "angeschlossen" werden müssen. Der Benutzer muss dabei das Gewicht der Betankungskupplung sowie der mit ihr verbundenen Versorgungs- bzw. Medienleitung selbst tragen. Flüssigwasserstoff-Betankungskupplungen, die sich gegenwärtig bereits im Probebetrieb befinden, weisen jedoch ein Gewicht von etwa zehn Kilo auf. Hinzu kommt das nicht unerhebliche Gewicht der isoliert ausgebildeten Flüssigwasserstoff- Leitung.Until now, in practice, manually operable refueling couplings have to be taken from the respective user for refueling a vehicle from its "parking position", guided to the vehicle to be refueled and "connected" to it. The user must carry the weight of the refueling coupling as well as the supply or media line connected to it. However, liquid hydrogen refueling couplings that are currently in trial operation have a weight of about ten kilos. In addition, there is the not insignificant weight of isolated trained liquid hydrogen line.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass das Handling derartiger Betankungskupplungen aus den vorgenannten Gründen vergleichsweise umständlich und unpraktisch ist, weswegen nach einer Lösung für dieses "Gewichtsproblem" gesucht wird.It has been found that the handling of such refueling clutches for the aforementioned reasons is relatively cumbersome and impractical, so is looking for a solution to this "weight problem".

Aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung 10 2006 020 939 ist eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung, insbesondere eine Flüssigwasserstoff-Betankungskupplung, bekannt. Diese Anordnung weist ein die Betankungskupplung aufnehmendes Tragegerüst auf, das derart ausgebildet ist, dass ein Verschieben der Betankungskupplung in ihrer Höhe, Querrichtung und/oder Längsrichtung und/oder ein Verkippen und/oder Verdrehen der Betankungskupplung möglich ist.From the unpublished German patent application 10 2006 020 939 a generic arrangement for the movable storage of a refueling coupling, in particular a liquid hydrogen refueling coupling known. This arrangement has a carrying framework which receives the refueling coupling and which is designed such that a displacement of the refueling coupling in its height, transverse direction and / or longitudinal direction and / or tilting and / or twisting of the refueling coupling is possible.

Von Nachteil bei dieser Anordnung ist jedoch, dass sie aufgrund ihrer Konstruktion im "Ruhezustand" nicht vollständig in einem Compartment mit den maximalen Außenmaßen von ca. 60 cm (Breite) * 110 cm (Tiefe) * x cm (Höhe) unterbringbar ist und zugleich im "Betriebszustand" auch die Betankung eines Fahrzeuges ermöglicht, das in einem Abstand von bis zu ca. 120 cm von dem Compartment entfernt zum Betanken geparkt ist. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung, insbesondere eine Flüssigwasserstoff-Betankungskupplung, anzugeben, die die beiden vorgenannten Anforderungen erfüllt.The disadvantage of this arrangement, however, is that it is due to their construction in the "state of rest" not completely in a compartment with the maximum external dimensions of about 60 cm (width) * 110 cm (depth) * x cm (height) can be accommodated and at the same time In the "operating state" also allows the refueling of a vehicle that is parked at a distance of up to about 120 cm from the Compartment for refueling. Object of the present invention is to provide a generic arrangement for the movable storage of a refueling coupling, in particular a liquid hydrogen refueling coupling, which meets the two aforementioned requirements.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einerThe inventive arrangement for the movable storage of a

Betankungskupplung sowie weitere Ausgestaltungen derselben, die Gegenstände der abhängigen Patentansprüche darstellen, seien im Folgenden anhand des in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.Fueling coupling and further embodiments thereof, which constitute subject matter of the dependent claims, are explained in more detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Hierbei zeigt die Figur 1 eine perspektivische und die Figur 2 eine seitliche Schnitt- Darstellung des Ausführungsbeispieles, wobei in der Figur 1 die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung in ihrem "Betriebszustand" dargestellt ist, während die Figur 2 ihren "Ruhezustand" zeigt.Here, Figure 1 shows a perspective and Figure 2 is a side sectional view of the embodiment, in Figure 1, the arrangement according to the invention for the movable mounting of a refueling coupling is shown in its "operating state", while Figure 2 shows their "resting state".

Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung 1 weist zwei vorzugsweise senkrecht angeordnete Träger 4 auf. Diese dienen der Aufnahme eines Gestells 5. In vorteilhafter weise ist dieses Gestell 5 an den Trägern 4 höhenverstellbar angeordnet. Auf diese Weise kann die Höhe der Betankungskupplung 1 gegenüber der Bodenfläche variiert und so an das zu betankende Fahrzeug angepasst werden. Das Gestell 5 wiederum dient der Aufnahme eines Schlittensystems 6, das ein Verschieben der Betankungskupplung 1 relativ zu ihrer Längsrichtung ermöglicht.The arrangement shown in Figures 1 and 2 for the movable mounting of a refueling coupling 1 has two preferably vertically arranged carrier 4. These serve to receive a frame 5. In an advantageous manner, this frame 5 is arranged vertically adjustable on the supports 4. In this way, the height of the refueling coupling 1 relative to the floor surface can be varied and adapted to the vehicle to be refueled. The frame 5 in turn serves to receive a carriage system 6, which allows a displacement of the refueling coupling 1 relative to its longitudinal direction.

Des Weiteren sind auf dem Schlittensystem 6 zwei verschiebbare Auszugsstangen 9 angeordnet. Auf diesen Auszugsstangen 9 wiederum ist eine Parallelogrammaufnahme 7 verschiebbar angeordnet. Mittels dieser Parallelogrammaufnahme 7 ist ein Verschieben der Betankungskupplung 1 relativ zu ihrer Querrichtung möglich. Die Parallelogrammaufnahme 7 weist eine drehbar angeordnete Zapfenkonstruktion 8, die der Lagerung der Betankungskupplung dient. Diese drehbare Zapfenkonstruktion 8 ermöglicht ein Kippen der Betankungskupplung 1.Furthermore, two displaceable extension rods 9 are arranged on the carriage system 6. On these extension rods 9 in turn is a parallelogram recording 7 arranged slidably. By means of this parallelogram recording 7, it is possible to displace the refueling coupling 1 relative to its transverse direction. The parallelogram recording 7 has a rotatably arranged pin construction 8, which serves to support the refueling coupling. This rotatable pin construction 8 allows tilting of the refueling coupling 1.

Hierbei sollte die Betankungskupplung 1 vorzugsweise - wie dies in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt ist - von unten mittels der Zapfen- und Kippkonstruktion aufgenommen werden. Dadurch wird dem Benutzer ein Freiraum oberhalb der Betankungskupplung 1 zum Handeln der Betankungskupplung 1 zur Verfügung gestellt.Here, the fueling coupling 1 should preferably - as shown in Figures 1 and 2 - be taken from below by means of the pin and tilting construction. As a result, the user is provided with a clearance above the refueling coupling 1 for acting on the refueling coupling 1.

Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung 1 weist sämtliche erforderlichen Freiheitsgrade zum Andocken der Betankungskupplung 1 an ein zu betankendes Fahrzeug auf.The arrangement shown in Figures 1 and 2 for the movable mounting of a refueling coupling 1 has all the necessary degrees of freedom for docking the refueling coupling 1 to a vehicle to be refueled.

Zum Zwecke des Betankens eines Fahrzeuges muss der Benutzer zunächst die Betankungskupplung 1 mittels des Schlittensystems 6, der verschiebbaren Auszugsstangen 9 sowie der verschiebbaren Parallelogrammaufnahme 7 aus ihrer Ruhe- bzw. Parkposition - wie sie in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist - nach vorne, in Richtung des zu betankenden Fahrzeuges verschieben. Über eine Anpassung der Höhe, der Querrichtung sowie ein Drehen und/oder Verkippen erfolgt dann das Verbinden bzw. Andocken der Betankungskupplung 1 an das zu betankende Fahrzeug bzw. an dessen Kupplungsgegenstück.For the purpose of refueling a vehicle, the user must first the fueling coupling 1 by means of the carriage system 6, the sliding extension rods 9 and the sliding parallelogram recording 7 from its rest or parking position - as shown in Figure 2 - forward, in the direction of move to refueling vehicle. An adaptation of the height, the transverse direction and a rotation and / or tilting then takes place the connection or docking of the refueling coupling 1 to the vehicle to be refueled or to its coupling counterpart.

Die Figur 2 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung der Betankungskupplung 1 in ihrer Ruhe- bzw. Parkposition. Aufgrund ihrer konstruktiven Ausgestaltung kann die Anordnung in einem Compartment, bestehend aus einer Grund-/Bodenplatte 2 sowie einem ggf. verschließbar ausgebildeten Gehäuse 3, mit den maximalen Außenmaßen von ca. 60 cm (Breite) * 1 10 cm (Tiefe) * x cm (Höhe) vollständig untergebracht werden.FIG. 2 shows the arrangement according to the invention for movably supporting the refueling coupling 1 in its rest or parking position. Due to its structural design, the arrangement in a Compartment, consisting of a base / bottom plate 2 and an optionally lockable housing 3, with the maximum external dimensions of about 60 cm (width) * 1 10 cm (depth) * x cm (Height) are fully accommodated.

Zudem ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung der Betankungskupplung 1 das Betanken eines Fahrzeuges, das in einem Abstand von bis zu ca. 120 cm von dem Compartment entfernt zum Betanken geparkt ist. Derartige Gehäuse 3 bzw. Compartments ermöglichen es, die gesamte, in ihrer Ruhe- bzw. Parkposition befindliche Anordnung in einem gegen äußere Einflüsse geschützten Bereich zu verfahren.In addition, the arrangement according to the invention for movably supporting the refueling coupling 1 makes it possible to refuel a vehicle which is parked at a distance of up to about 120 cm from the compartment for refueling. Such housing 3 or compartments allow the whole, in their rest or Parking position to move arrangement in a protected against external influences area.

Zusätzlich wird mit der erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung der Betankungskupplung 1 erreicht, dass der Benutzer weder das Gewicht der Betankungskupplung 1 noch der zu ihr führenden, in den Figuren 1 und 2 der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht dargestellten Schlauchleitung tragen muss. Auch ein Zu- Boden-fallen der Betankungskupplung 1 kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung wirkungsvoll verhindert werden, woraus - insbesondere im Praxisbetrieb - eine wesentliche Verlängerung der Lebensdauer von derart gelagerten Betankungskupplungen resultieren dürfte.In addition, with the arrangement according to the invention for movably supporting the refueling coupling 1, it is achieved that the user neither has to carry the weight of the refueling coupling 1 nor the hose leading to it, not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for the sake of clarity. Also, a falling-to-ground refueling coupling 1 can be effectively prevented with the arrangement according to the invention, from which - especially in practice - a significant extension of the life of such stored fueling clutches should result.

Des Weiteren kann ein in den Figuren 1 und 2 nicht im Detail dargestelltes Seilzugsystem, das mit an den Trägern 4 geführten Gegengewichten 10 verbunden ist, vorgesehen werden. Über dieses Seilzugsystem kann das Gewicht derFurthermore, a cable pull system which is not shown in detail in FIGS. 1 and 2 and which is connected to counterweights 10 guided on the supports 4 can be provided. About this cable system, the weight of the

Betankungskupplung 1 sowie ggf. das zu tragende Gewicht der Medienleitung vollständig oder zumindest teilweise kompensiert werden.Refueling coupling 1 and possibly the weight of the media line to be supported completely or at least partially compensated.

Entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung zur beweglichen Lagerung einer Betankungskupplung weist diese Mittel zur Aufnahme der zu der Betankungskupplung 1 führenden Medien- bzw. Versorgungsleitung aufweist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention for the movable mounting of a refueling coupling has this means for receiving leading to the refueling coupling 1 media or supply line.

In vorteilhafter Weise erfolgt das Verschieben der Betankungskupplung 1 in Höhe, Querrichtung und/oder Längsrichtung und/oder das Verkippen und/oder Verdrehen der Betankungskupplung 1 mittels geeigneter Antriebe. Hierbei kommen vorzugsweise pneumatische Antriebe, insbesondere pneumatische Linearantriebe, und/oder E- Motoren zur Anwendung, wobei diese explosionsgeschützt ausgebildet sein können. Insbesondere im Falle der Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung für Flüssigwasserstoff-Betankungskupplung wird die Verwendung explosionsgeschützter Antriebe im Regelfall zwingend erforderlich bzw. gesetzlich vorgeschrieben sein.Advantageously, the shifting of the refueling coupling 1 in height, transverse direction and / or longitudinal direction and / or tilting and / or rotation of the refueling coupling 1 by means of suitable drives. In this case, preferably pneumatic drives, in particular pneumatic linear drives, and / or electric motors are used, which may be designed explosion-proof. In particular, in the case of use of the arrangement according to the invention for liquid hydrogen refueling coupling the use of explosion-proof drives is usually mandatory or required by law.

Die Ansteuerung der Antriebe kann durch den Benutzer selbst, bspw. über eine drahtlose Fernbedienung oder ein Spracherkennungssystem, erfolgen. Denkbar ist zudem, die Betankungsprozedur incl. des An- und Abkuppeins der Betankungskupplung 1 an das zu betankende Fahrzeug vollständig zu automatisieren. Dazu bedarf es zumindest eines Systems, beispielsweise des sog. GPS, das die exakte Position des zu betankenden Fahrzeuges bzw. des Einfüll- bzw. Andockpunktes zu erkennen vermag und eine entsprechende Ausrichtung der Betankungskupplung 1 vornimmt. Denkbar sind darüber hinaus sämtliche Mischformen von manuellem und automatisiertem Betanken. The actuation of the drives can be carried out by the user himself, for example via a wireless remote control or a speech recognition system. It is also conceivable, the refueling procedure including the arrival and Abkuppeins the Fueling clutch 1 to fully automate the vehicle to be refueled. This requires at least one system, for example the so-called GPS, which is able to recognize the exact position of the vehicle to be refueled or of the filling or docking point and carries out a corresponding alignment of the refueling coupling 1.
