摘要: An automatic fueling system includes a pump having a telescoping arm capable of placement in three-dimensional space, a flexibly mounted nozzle on the end of the arm and a docking cone to mate with the fuel port on a vehicle. A camera provides a view of the side of the vehicle on a monitor with guides visible to the operator of the vehicle to assist in locating the vehicle within range of the pump. A light and a camera located adjacent to the nozzle are used to recognize retro-reflective light from an annular target about the intake port. Multiple approximations of the distance and location of the intake port are made with the nozzle moving closer to mating with the intake port. A data link is provided through the mated nozzle with a keypad accessible by the vehicle operator. The vehicle includes a control actuator which selectively couples actuator cables associated with the fuel door and the fuel inlet valve with the emergency brake cable to engage the emergency brake, open the fuel door and open the inlet valve. A vacuum system on an evaporation canister insures that vapor is drawn from the fuel tank as it is being displaced by incoming fuel.

摘要: A valve system for use on vehicles for automatic fuel delivery to the vehicle fuel tank. An entry member having a conical passage is arranged on the fuel filler door of the vehicle. A valve body located behind the fuel filler door includes a sliding valve member which alternatively opens and closes a central passageway coupled with the vehicle fuel tank. An actuator system employs an actuation switch as well as a safety switch requiring the ignition of the vehicle to be off. Compressed air is controlled by the switch to open and close the valve member through a control cable. An automatic delivery system is associated with the valve system and employs three tracks orthogonally arranged with one track mounting a fuel nozzle to interact with the valve system.
