Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of over filling interdiction (OFI) valves.
  • OFI over filling interdiction
  • Such valves are designed to allow, on the one hand, venting of fuel vapor from a vehicle fuel tank and, on the other hand, to ensure the closure of the valve so as to prevent fuel from escaping from the tank through the OFI. Escape of fuel would occur due to over filling of fuel, or change of position of the tank, (e.g. when the vehicle rolls over or at extreme inclination thereof), or by a fuel wave (e.g. at sudden acceleration).
  • OFI valves have long been known and are typically positioned at the uppermost portion of the fuel tank.
  • One type of such valves consists of a caged float, displaced between an uppermost position in which it seals a vented outlet opening and between a lower position in which said opening is unsealed. According to this arrangement, the float follows the level of the fuel, whereby when the tank is not levelled or over filled, the outlet is sealed by the float.
  • a serious drawback of such a valve is that in case of pressure built up in the tank (e.g. by overheating) the pressure will cause the float to seal said outlet rather than vent it, resulting in further pressure built up.
  • Another drawback of this valve is that in case of fuel overfilling, the float will remain in its sealing position as long as the fuel exceeds a predeter ⁇ mined level, again resulting in pressure built up within the tank, which in extreme cases may even be hazardous.
  • a second type of OFI valves belongs to the so-called normally closed type valve in which the fuel tank comprises at a top portion thereof an outlet opening sealable from above by a sealing mass member of a predetermined weight.
  • the arrangement is such that when pressure builds up within the tank, said sealing member is displaced from its sealing position until the pressure drops down. In case of fuel overfill, the outlet opening remains sealed under weight of the sealing member as long as the pressure is within a predetermined range.
  • an OFI valve be suitable also for venting the fuel tank, i.e releasing vacuum being built-up in the fuel tank owing to d e engine sucking fuel from the fuel tank.
  • most heretofore OFI valves do not comprise provisions for venting discharging vacuum.
  • an over filling interdiction valve fitted within a fluid tank, the valve comprising: a housing furnished with a first fluid inlet at a bottom end thereof and a first fluid outlet at top end thereof; a float member located within said housing and being displaceable along its longitudinal axis between said first inlet and said first outlet; said float member comprising at a bottom end thereof a second fluid inlet and near a top end thereof a second fluid outlet; sealing means associated at a top end of said float member for sealing said first fluid outlet; biasing means located within the housing and biasing the float member towards said first fluid outlet; whereby said biasing means together with buoyancy forces acting on the float member tend to urge said float member to a sealing position in which said sealing means sealingly engage with said first fluid outlet, whilst gravity forces acting on said float member tend to displace the float member away from said first fluid outlet to an unsealed position; means for restricting fluid ingress into the float member; wherein raising of the fluid level in
  • said second fluid inlet is sealed by a displaceable sealing member constitut ⁇ ing said restricting means, whereby acceleration or inclination of the fluid tank above a predetermined value causes displacement of the sealing means to unseal said second fluid inlet resulting in a rise of fluid within the float member which decreases the buoyancy of the float member, allowing it to overcome the biasing effect of said biasing means and move it to the unsealed position.
  • said second fluid inlet is a cylindrical opening
  • the fluid ingress restricting means is a spherical member displaceable within the float member and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the cylindrical opening, wherein the spherical member is adapted for sealing engagement of said opening.
  • a top face ofthe bottom end ofthe float member has a conical cross-section, the lowermost portion being adjacent the opening.
  • the minimal rate of inclination required for displacing the spherical member is in the range of 3° to 20°, a preferred value being in the range of 8°.
  • the displaceable sealing member is constituted by a mass depending from a rigid sealing member adapted for sealing the second fluid inlet; the mass being rigidly suspended from the sealing member, whereby angular displacement of the mass entails angular displacement of the rigid sealing member.
  • said second fluid inlet is an essentially narrow opening thereby constituting the fluid ingress restricting means, whereby rise ofthe fluid level within said housing brings about a restrained rise of fluid within the float member which gradually decreases the buoyancy of the float member, eventually allowing it to overcome the biasing effect of said biasing means and move it to the unsealed position.
  • the arrangement according to the second embodiment being such that in case of over filling, the OFI valve closes for a predetermined period of time and then spontaneously opens, regardless of the fuel level within the tank. However, in case of roll over or steep inclination, the valve is sealed owing to the biasing effect of the biasing means.
  • said biassing means is a compression spring bearing at a bottom end thereof against a top surface of base member of said housing, and at a top end thereof against a bottom surface of a base member of said float member.
  • the size of said second fluid inlet and said second fluid outlet ensure that in an essentially vertical position of the valve, after a predetermined period of time, the float member moves from the sealing position to the unsealing position, regardless of the fluid level in the tank.
  • said first fluid outlet comprises a substantially elongated slit-like outlet aperture and said sealing means is an elongate flexible closure membrane strip, anchored at one end thereof to the top end of said float member and wherein said outlet aperture is bounded by a seal seat inclined with respect to said longitudinal axis and said surface is substantially equally inclined with respect to said axis; said housing and said float member are substantially coaxial and said float member is prevented from rotating within said housing.
  • an OFI valve With an OFI valve according to the invention, the provision of an elongated slit-like outlet aperture, together with a flexible membrane strip ensures that the opening forces effective on the valve are such as progressively to detach the strip from sealing engagement with the outlet. In this way it is ensured that the valve opens readily and effectively when required, without the necessity for the provision of additional, complicated mechanical means to this end.
  • said first fluid outlet has a neck portion with a wider lower portion adapted for sealingly receiving a tapering projection from the top surface of the float member, whereby engagement of the tapering portion within the neck portion seals said first fluid outlet.

  • the outiet funnel 11 leads to the valve outlet 17 formed at the top of the housing 1, which valve outlet 17 is vented by a vent line (seen in Fig. 3), as known er se.
  • the inner wall of housing 1 comprises two opposite, inwardly projecting elongate radial ribs 19.
  • Coaxially mounted within the housing 1 is an essentially cylindrical hollow float 21 having a confined volume 22 and formed on its outer wall with two longitudinal grooves 23, radially oriented, which grooves 23 respectively mate with ribs 19 of the housing 1, so as to prevent angular displacement of the float member 21 with respect to the housing 1.

  • a coiled compression spring 39 has one end thereof bearing against an annular groove 29 of the base member 25 of the float member 21 and its other end, bearing on the annular ridge 8 of the base member 5 of the housing 1, thereby upwardly biasing the float member 21, which together with the inherent buoyancy of the float member, depending on the fuel level within the tank, apply upwardly-directed forces which tend to seal the slit-like outlet 15 by means of the strip-like membrane 35, which as can be seen in Fig. 1 is pressed against the rim 13 by the correspondingly inclined surface 33 of the float member 21.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une soupape anti-débordement se montant sur un réservoir (3) et comprenant un logement (1) pourvu d'une première entrée (7) de fluide à sa base et d'une première sortie (15) de fluide à son sommet et un flotteur (21) placé dans le logement et mobile suivant son axe longitudinal entre la première entrée et la première sortie. Le flotteur comporte à sa base une deuxième entrée (27) de fluide et à son sommet une deuxième sortie (38) de fluide. Le sommet du flotteur comporte des moyens d'obturation (35) pour obturer la première sortie de fluide, et le logement est muni de moyens de sollicitation (39) poussant le flotteur contre la première sortie de fluide. Le concept est tel que l'action combinée desdits moyens de sollicitation et de la poussée d'Archimède amène le flotteur à obturer la première sortie de fluide, et que la pesanteur amène le flotteur à l'ouvrir. La soupape comporte en outre des moyens (27) limitant la pénétration du fluide dans le flotteur (21), si bien que la montée du fluide dans le réservoir, et par conséquent dans le logement, pousse le flotteur en position d'obturation.
