20210370763 · 2021-12-02 ·

An opening-closing device for a fuel supply passage includes a tubular passage forming portion having a fuel inlet port, a flap having an engagement portion, and an opening-closing actuating member. The opening-closing actuating member includes a main body and movable portions coupled to the main body. Each movable portion includes a proximal portion, an arm extending in the circumferential direction from the proximal portion, a nozzle detecting portion protruding inward in the radial direction from the arm, and an engaging portion. When the nozzle detecting portions do not receive a pushing force, the engaging portions are engaged with the engagement portion to lock the flap in a closing state in which the flap closes the fuel inlet port. When the nozzle detecting portions receive the pushing force, the engaging portions are disengaged outward in the radial direction from the engagement portion to unlock the flap.

Fully-integrated, fluid flow-control module designed for installation within an ISO filler neck of a top-fill def tank
11772484 · 2023-10-03 ·

A fully-integrated flow-control module is designed to fit within a filler neck of a DEF tank that conforms to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 22241-4:2009(E). The flow-control module includes a breather cap that locks the flow-control module within the mouth of the ISO filler neck. A spring-biased valve piston, which is controlled by a bleed path within a bleed and float body, opens and closes to control fluid flow into the DEF tank. A fluid level float is mounted on a control rod. The control rod and a bleed valve poppet are rigidly secured to a connector beam. When fluid levels in the tank raise the float, the bleed valve poppet seals a bleed circuit escape port, thereby enabling the valve piston to close, increase fluid pressure at the nozzle, and cause the nozzle to shut off.

A fuel device FS includes a discriminating portion 50, an operation member, an abutting member 57 and an open/close member 70. The discriminating portion 50 includes an discrimination opening GL formed of a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is an opening corresponding to an external diameter of a small-diameter nozzle FNS. The second portion is an opening having a shape corresponding to an external diameter of a large-diameter nozzle FNL compatible with the fuel device. The operation member 51 of the discriminating portion 50 guides the small-diameter nozzle intended to insert into the second portion to be inserted into the first portion. The abutting member 57 prevents a tip of the small-diameter nozzle from passing the first portion. The open/close member 70 is caused to enter an open state by the large-diameter nozzle passing through the second portion of the discrimination opening GL.
