Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flange of a fuel delivery module and a fuel delivery module.
- flanges or fuel delivery modules are used on the tank, in particular of motor vehicles, in order to connect the tank to the fuel supply line of an engine.
- a known flange of this type comprises a pressure regulator for regulating the pressure in the fuel supply line. If the pressure to be regulated is exceeded, the pressure regulator lets fuel escape through a throttle point. Due to the high flow velocity of the fuel in ⁇ a throttling point of the pressure regulator, there is a strong charge separation, which entails the risk of very strong electrostatic charging of the pressure regulator and its surroundings.
- the known flange provides that an electrical line attached to the housing of the pressure regulator conductively connects it to a supply line of a fuel pump of the fuel delivery module, so as to keep the housing of the pressure regulator at a defined potential.
- a fuel delivery module with a flange, a pump attached to the flange, a pressure regulator and a filter is known.
- a pump housing made of conductive plastic is insulated from the pump's energy source, the flange is made of non-conductive resin.
- the present invention creates a flange of a fuel delivery module or a fuel delivery module which, with a simple structure, has high operational reliability.
- the conductive connection of the pressure regulator to the connection via the weakly conductive material according to the invention defines the potential of the pressure regulator solely by its attachment to the flange, without further assembly steps and parts being required for this. This results in a cost advantage through savings in working time and parts, as well as a quality advantage, since the conductive connection between the pressure regulator and the connection, which is formed as part of the flange, cannot open, for example, by a cable break or loosening a plug contact. In order to reliably detect electrostatic charges that have not yet been dissipated in the return line to the tank by simply grounding the pressure regulator, it can additionally be provided that the return line itself is also conductively connected to the connection.
- the flange is expediently formed in one piece from a weakly electrically conductive plastic.
- a weakly electrically conductive plastic This can be an essentially any synthetic resin that is resistant to contact with fuel and is made conductive by the introduction of graphite or metal particles.
- the conductivity of the plastic is expediently set to surface resistance values between 10 3 ohms and 10 9 ohms, in order on the one hand to reliably discharge the electrostatic charges and on the other hand not to change the mechanical properties of the synthetic resin forming a matrix too much by the introduced conductive particles.
- connection is preferably an electrical feedthrough.
- the electrical contact between the bushing and the material of the flange is advantageously produced in that a conductor of the electrical bushing is surrounded by the weakly electrically conductive material without insulation.
- the electrical feedthrough is preferably embedded in the weakly electrically conductive material during the manufacture of the flange by injection molding.
- the single figure shows a fuel delivery module with a flange according to the invention in cross section.
- the figure shows a fuel delivery module for installation in a tank: a motor vehicle.
- the module comprises a fuel pump 1, which sucks fuel from the tank via a filter attachment 3 and presses via an outlet connection 5 into a filter chamber 7, which extends around the pump 1 in the form of a hollow cylinder.
- a filter body 9 is arranged in the chamber 7 and sealed at its end faces by O-rings 11.
- a hose line 13 connects the outlet of the filter chamber 7 with a connection piece 15 on the inside of a flange 17.
- a fuel passage 19 extends from the piece 15 in the figure initially vertically through the flange 17 and horizontally to the right to an outlet port 21, which for Attachment of a fuel supply line leading to the engine is provided.
- a return line 23 running to the left in the figure connects the fuel passage 19 to a pressure regulator 25 which is fastened in a recess on the inside of the flange 17.
- the pressure regulator 25 contains a membrane 27 in a housing, which divides its interior into a fuel chamber 31 and a back pressure chamber 29.
- the back pressure chamber 29 contains a compression coil spring 33 which presses the membrane 27 tightly against a regulator seat 35. Only when the pressure in the Kjaftstoffka mer 31 exceeds a minimum value, the membrane 27 moves slightly away from the regulator seat 35, so that fuel can flow through the opening throttle point into a downstream section of the return line 23 and from there back into the tank.
- An electrical lead-through comprises a plug connector 37 with two knife contacts 39 and two connected thereto through the flange 17th guided wires 41.
- the bushing forms a connection to external potentials of a battery.
- the connector 37 is integrally formed on the flange 17, and the knife contacts 39 are extrusion-coated with the material of the flange for their anchoring.
- the wires 41 are connected to the pump 1 in order to supply it with energy.
- the flange 17 including the connector 37 consists of a weakly electrically conductive plastic material, such as a synthetic resin matrix with embedded conductive metal or graphite particles.
- the metallic knife contacts 39 are in direct contact with this material without intermediate insulation. In this way, they are conductively connected to the housing of the pressure regulator 25 and to the entire inner surface of the return line 23. An accumulation of electrostatic charges is thus reliably ruled out over the entire length of the return line 23.
- Luster clamp a screw-eye connection or the like can be used.
- the connection can also be made using a conductive screw Attachment of the flange to the tank should be formed insofar as it is conductive and has a defined electrical potential.
