Druckgasflasche mit einem faserverstärkten KunststoffmantelPressurized gas cylinder with a fiber-reinforced plastic jacket

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Druckgasflasche mit einem faserverstärkten Kunststoffmantel, bei der innerhalb des Kunststoffmantels ein Wickelkörper aus Leichtmetall in Form einer zylindrischen Flasche angeordnet ist.The innovation concerns a pressurized gas cylinder with a fiber-reinforced one Plastic jacket, with a winding body made of light metal in the form of a cylindrical inside the plastic jacket Bottle is arranged.

Eine solche Druckgasflasche ist bereits in der DE-OS I5 01 701 beschrieben. Dort ist der aus einem korrosionsfesten Leichtmetall bestehende Wickelkörper verhältnismäßig kräftig als Stützkörper für den Kunststoffmantel ausgebildet. Solche Druckgasflaschen sind für den praktischen Einsatz als Tragflaschen noch etwas zu schwer. Der Neuerung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Druckgasflasche noch leichter auszubilden.Such a pressurized gas cylinder is already in DE-OS I5 01 701 described. There it is made of a corrosion-resistant light metal existing winding body formed relatively strong as a support body for the plastic jacket. Such pressurized gas cylinders are still a bit too heavy for practical use as carrier bottles. The innovation is therefore based on the task to make the pressurized gas cylinder even easier.

Diese Aufgabe wivd durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die Lösung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß der Wickelkörper aus zwei Teilen besteht (Unterteil und Oberteil), die in der Mitte ringförmig miteinander verschweißt sind, und daß sein zylindrisches Mittelteil erheblich dünner als Boden, Schulter und Hals ausgebildet ist.This task is enhanced by the characterizing features of the claim 1 solved. The solution is essentially that the winding body consists of two parts (lower part and Upper part), which are welded together in a ring in the middle, and that its cylindrical central part is considerably thinner is designed as the bottom, shoulder and neck.

Ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Neuerung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen Fig. 1 eine Druckgasflasche mit faserverstärktem Kunststoffmantel Im Längsschnitt und An exemplary embodiment of the innovation is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. 1 shows a pressurized gas cylinder with a fiber-reinforced plastic jacket in longitudinal section and

3 Hals (Oberteil) des Wickelkörper3 Neck (upper part) of the bobbin

4 Schweißnaht der beiden Teile4 weld seam of the two parts

5 Laminat aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff«5 Laminate made of fiber-reinforced plastic «

Vorzugsweise besteht der Wickelkörper 1 aus der Aluminiumlegierung AlMgSi 0,5 oder 1, und hat er im zylindrischen Mittelteil eine Wandstärke von 1,0 mm, wogegen Boden 2, Schulter j5 und Hals etwa 5-mal stärker ausgebildet sind. Das Unter- und das Oberteil des Wickelkörpers 2 bzw« 3 sind tiefgezogen, und das Herstellen der sie verbindenden Schweißnaht 4 erfolgt mittels Elektronenstrahl.The winding body 1 is preferably made of the aluminum alloy AlMgSi 0.5 or 1, and it has a wall thickness of 1.0 mm in the cylindrical central part, whereas the bottom 2, shoulder j5 and neck are about 5 times stronger. The lower and the upper part of the winding body 2 and «3 are deep-drawn, and the welding seam 4 connecting them is produced by means of an electron beam.

Das auf den Wickelkörper 1 aufgebrachte Laminat $ aus mehreren Lagen von mit Kunststoff getränkten, hochfesten Fasern - von Kohlenstoff, Glas oder Aramid - ist in 3 Faserrichtungen gewickelt, nämlich fast senkrecht zur Längsachse χ des Wickelkörpers, und mit den Winkeln + oder - ß zur x-Achse, wobei β zwischen 10 und 60 ° liegt.The laminate $ applied to the winding body 1 from several Layers of high-strength fibers impregnated with plastic - made of carbon, glass or aramid - is wound in 3 fiber directions, namely almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis χ of the winding body, and with the angles + or - ß to the x-axis, where β is between 10 and 60 °.
