Abstract[English]
In one embodiment, a valve assembly for a liquid tank system includes a valve house and a cover. The valve assembly includes an orifice frame structure defining an orifice in a first shape therethrough, and a ribbon having a movable end. The ribbon is configured to seal or unseal the orifice along a first axis of the orifice when the movable end of the ribbon moves with the float. The orifice is asymmetrical across a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and passing through a middle point of the orifice. A first area of the orifice on a first side of the second axis is smaller than a second area of the orifice on the second side of the second axis. The first area of the orifice is configured to be unsealed earlier than the second area of the orifice by the ribbon.[French]
Dans un mode de réalisation, un ensemble soupape pour un système de réservoir de liquide comprend un logement de soupape et un couvercle. L'ensemble soupape comprend une structure de cadre d'orifice définissant un orifice dans une première forme à travers celle-ci, et un ruban comprenant une extrémité mobile. Le ruban est configuré pour sceller ou desceller l'orifice le long d'un premier axe de l'orifice lorsque l'extrémité mobile du ruban se déplace avec le flotteur. L'orifice est asymétrique sur un second axe perpendiculaire au premier axe et passant par un point médian de l'orifice. Une première zone de l'orifice sur un premier côté du second axe est plus petite qu'une seconde zone de l'orifice sur le second côté du second axe. La première zone de l'orifice est configurée pour être non scellée plus tôt que la seconde zone de l'orifice par le ruban.
