摘要:
A refueling pipe structure of a fuel tank includes a tank body, and an a refueling pipe which is connected to the tank body to extend upwardly therefrom. The refueling pipe is provided at its upper end with a refueling port into which a refueling nozzle can be inserted. The structure includes a flow direction limiting device mounted within the refueling pipe in the vicinity of the refueling port for guiding a fuel flow from a tip end of the refueling nozzle toward an inner surface of the refueling pipe, while limiting the fuel flow in a gyrate direction along the inner surface of the refueling pipe. Thus, the generation of evaporated fuel within the refueling pipe during refueling can be inhibited, and fuel can be smoothly introduced into the tank body.

A fuel tank for an automotive vehicle has a tank body for storing fuel. A filler pipe is connected to the tank body. A fuel outlet port device is located within the tank body and connected to an end of the filler pipe. The fuel outlet port device has an outwardly facing fuel outlet opening from which fuel supplied through the filler pipe flows out into the body, and a fuel trap for storing part of the fuel supplied through the filler pipe to thereby prevent evaporative fuel generated within the tank body from flowing into the filler pipe. An evaporative emission control system is also provided, which incorporates the fuel tank.

In an evaporative fuel processing device, an evaporative fuel passage communicating at one end to an upper space in a fuel tank is connected at the other end to a refueling line at a location corresponding to a negative pressure introducing hole provided in a lower portion of a tip end of a nozzle during refueling by a refueling nozzle which is constructed so that the refueling by the refueling nozzle is automatically stopped in response to a fuel liquid level reaching the negative pressure introducing hole during refueling. The draft resistance of an evaporative fuel passage interconnecting an inlet of the refueling line and a tank body is set larger than the draft resistance of an evaporative fuel passage interconnecting the tank body and a canister. Thus, the releasing of evaporative fuel from the fuel tank during refueling is effectively inhibited without use of a potentially unreliable seal.

An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine for use in a vehicle. A passage extends between the fuel tank and the intake passage, for guiding evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, for processing, across which a canister is arranged. A first passage and a second passage are connected to the canister. A first valve is arranged across the first passage to allow air to flow into the canister through the first passage and inhibit air containing evaporative fuel from being discharged from the canister through the first passage. A second valve is arranged across the second passage to inhibit air from flowing into the canister through the second passage and allow air containing evaporative fuel to be discharged from the canister through the second passage. A filter is arranged in the first passage.

An evaporative emission control system for an internal combustion engine comprises a canister for adsorbing evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, and a first evaporative fuel passage extending between the canister and the tank main body of the fuel tank. A differential pressure-operated valve is arranged across the first evaporative fuel passage, which has a positive pressure chamber communicating through the first evaporative fuel passage with the interior of the tank main body of the fuel tank, and a back pressure chamber. The differential pressure-operated valve opens and closes the first evaporative fuel passage in response to a difference in pressure between the positive pressure chamber and the back pressure chamber. A pressure-introducing passage extends between the back pressure chamber and the inlet end portion of a filler pipe extending from the interior of the main body of the fuel tank, and a second evaporative fuel passage extends between the interior of the tank main body of the fuel tank and one of the back pressure chamber and the pressure-introducing passage. A check valve limits the amount of evaporative fuel flowing through the second evaporative fuel passage.

A canister is comprised of a casing including a top wall, a vertical wall, first and second chambers formed in the casing and each accommodating an adsorbent, and a partition member partitioning the first and second chambers from each other. A plurality of first protuberances are formed on the inner surface of the top wall at a portion thereof facing toward the first chamber, and a plurality of second protuberances on the inner surface of the vertical wall at a portion thereof facing toward the first chamber. First and second filters are mounted in the first chamber in a fashion abutting on the plurality of the first and second protuberances, respectively. A first space is defined in the top wall between the first filter and the portion of the inner surface of the top wall, and a second space is defined in the vertical wall between the second filter and the portion of the inner surface of the vertical surface and communicates with the first space. A charging port and a purging port are each formed in the top wall at a location corresponding to the first chamber and each open into the first space. An atmospheric air port is formed in the top wall at a location corresponding to the second chamber.

In an evaporative fuel processing device, a canister is divided into first, second, third and fourth chambers by partition walls. A control valve is provided in a communication passage which connects the second and third chambers to each other. A first charge passage is connected to an upper space in a fuel tank and to a port in the third chamber, and a second charge passage is connected to a fuel supply valve for the fuel tank and to a port in the first chamber. Further, a purge passage is connected to an intake passage of an internal combustion engine and to a port in the first chamber. The control valve is connected to an electronic control unit, and opened during refueling and during traveling of a vehicle and closed during parking of the vehicle. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent an evaporative fuel from being released to the atmosphere, while the capacity of the canister to a minimum.
摘要:
A vaporized fuel control valve for a fuel tank containing fuel to be supplied to an internal combustion engine, having a casing fastened to an upper surface of the fuel tank, and a float valve is housed in the casing such that it moves upward toward a seat in response to fuel level in the fuel tank. A diaphragm valve having a diaphragm is placed in the casing above the float valve for separating an interior of the casing to a first chamber communicating with a filler pipe of the fuel tank, and a second chamber communicating with the fuel tank through the float valve. The diaphragm valve opens to connect the second chamber with a canister such that vaporized fuel forced out of the fuel tank flows along a path through the float valve to the canister when the first chamber is supplied with atmospheric pressure, unless the float valve seats on the seat. In the valve, an intercepter such as a filter is placed in the path to intercept a fuel spray produced due to an impact when the float valve has seated on the seat, so as the fuel spray not to adhere to the diaphragm. As the interceptor, various partitions different in shape are used. With the arrangement, adherence of sprayed fuel, which otherwise degrades the diaphragm, is prevented.

A canister system is installed in a vehicle having a body having a substantially closed space defined therein, and a subframe mounted on the body and having a substantially closed space defined therein. An air intake passage is connected to a canister for drawing and delivering fresh air into the canister, and an air exhaust passage is connected to the canister for exhausting air resulting from removal of evaporative fuel components from an evaporative fuel-air mixture by adsorption of the evaporative fuel components by the canister into the atmosphere. An open end of the air intake passage remote from the canister is formed in the body of the vehicle, and an open end of the air exhaust passage remote from the canister is formed in the subframe.
