Abstract:
A ventilation arrangement for the head space of the fuel tank of a vehicle consists of a valve assembly received in a housing (30), which assembly is arranged to produce a maximum pressure, which is not to be exceeded, a minimum pressure below which the pressure must not fall, and a random pressure, for example, for the tank filling process, within the head space. For this purpose a valve which is biased by a spring (25) in the direction towards an atmospheric connector (6) and is characterised by a sealing plate (17), and a valve biased by a spring (19) in the direction towards a connector (5) intended for connection to the head space, and a valve characterised by a sealing head (24) are provided, the latter of which is simultaneously connected to an electromagnetic drive in order to produce the random pressure. As a result of the constructional combination of all three valve functions in the housing (30), the mutually coaxial guidance of the sealing head (24) and of the sealing plate (17), a valve assembly is provided which takes up a small construction volume and is suitable in particular for use under the spatially limited installation conditions of a hybrid vehicle.
