A filling device for a pressure vessel of a motor vehicle includes a filling neck via which an operating medium can be filled into a pressure vessel, a dust cap which can be plugged onto the filling neck and which, together with the filling neck, delimits a filling volume. A housing apparatus includes a main element and a cover element which can be adjusted relative to the main element between an open position and a closed position which, together with the main element, delimits a housing interior. The dust cap is arranged in the housing interior. At least one ventilation channel, which is delimited in regions by the dust cap, extends from the filling volume into an environment separated from the housing interior by way of the cover in its closed position and has at least one direction-reversing element.

CLOSING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE SUPPLY SYSTEM
20230339310 · 2023-10-26 ·

A closing system is provided which includes a frame adapted to be mounted on a vehicle supply system, the frame being shaped as a spherical segment and extending between a first circular section and a second circular section. The frame has a plurality of first and second guides, arranged on a radially outer surface. The closing system has a plurality of curved panels, each curved panel being shaped as a spherical cap portion and constrained at a first end and a second end thereof to slide, respectively, along a first guide and a second guide between a first position, in which the curved panels jointly define an opening that allows access to the vehicle supply system, and a second position, in which the curved panels prevent access to the supply system. Control means control movement of the curved panels between the first and second positions.

A fuel cap assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes a fuel cap and a pipe stub that extends from the fuel cap and defines a first internal passage. A sensor element and a fuel tube are adjacent to each other and both extend from the fuel cap through the first internal passage. A cylindrical coupler is composed of an elastomer and defines a second internal passage that extends between an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port has a first inner diameter and the pipe stub is receivable into the inlet port. The outlet port has a second inner diameter that differs from the first inner diameter.

Pressurized gas tank for a motor vehicle

A pressurized gas tank for a motor vehicle includes a cylindrical axially extending housing with two end pieces axially connected thereto connected together by one or more tie rods configured for axial transmission of tensile force. The tie rods include an axially continuous through-channel configured to be connected to a vehicle cooling system including a circulating liquid coolant to cool the pressurized gas at least during refueling of the pressurized gas tank.

Purging tool with integrated pneumatic valve
11543125 · 2023-01-03 ·

A purging tool is disclosed that is operable to enable a user to utilize a pumping device to create an influx of air/pressure within a fuel tank to purge blockages with a fuel tank and associated fuel lines, herein after referred to as the fuel system. The purging tool comprises an integrated pneumatic valve operable to interface with a pumping device. The purging tool may further comprise a shape operable to be easily adapted to standardized fuel inlets.

INTEGRATED FILL SYSTEM AND METHOD
20220314787 · 2022-10-06 ·

An integrated fill system is provided for a vehicle. The integrated fill system can include a container configured to house a compressed gas having a first end and a second end. A first neck mount is configured to receive the first end of the container and configured to restrict movement, and a second neck mount is configured to receive the second end of the container and configured to enable movement. A housing is configured to encase the container and the first and second neck mounts. A fill line has a first end coupled to the first end of the container, and a draw line has a first end coupled to the second end of the container. A filter is arranged proximate to the fill line to prevent contaminants from entering the container.

Motorized vehicle

Disclosed is a wheeled vehicle. The wheeled vehicle includes various features for operation by a rider, such as a throttle actuation assembly and various components for operation and manipulation of the vehicle.

Turn off the car when pumping the gas in the gas stations

A motor vehicle includes an engine and a fuel tank having a cap with a first position in which the cap seals the fuel tank and a second position in which the cap does not seal the fuel tank. A sensor detects whether the cap is in the first position or the second position. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the engine and to the sensor. The electronic processor turn offs the engine in response to the sensor detecting that the cap is in the second position.

FUEL FILLER PIPE
20220219527 · 2022-07-14 · ·

The fuel filler pipe body includes in an outer circumferential surface of another end side thereof an annular recessed groove. The fuel filler pipe body includes an opening of the other end thereof to which a nozzle guide is mounted. The nozzle guide includes on an one end side thereof an annular covering portion configured to cover annularly the outer circumferential surface of the other end side of the fuel filler pipe body. An annular rubber sealing member configured to seal between an inner circumferential surface of the annular recessed groove and an inner circumferential surface of the annular covering portion fits with the annular recessed groove.

Pressure relief cap
11383902 · 2022-07-12 · ·

A pressure relief cap includes a body engageable with a container and rotatable about an axis for coupling or decoupling the body from the container. The pressure relief cap also includes a handle and a motion control mechanism operable to selectively couple the handle to the body. The motion control mechanism includes a clutch plate moveable between an engaged position in which the clutch plate permits torque transfer from the handle to the body, and a disengaged position in which the clutch plate inhibits torque transfer from the handle to the body. The pressure relief cap also includes a relief valve for releasing pressure in response to elevated pressure within the container.
