Definitions
- the invention relates to a device that pressurizes a hydraulic circuit.
- a pyrotechnic gas generator in which a high-pressure housing accommodating a compressed gas-generating capsule is surrounded by a medium-pressure housing.
- the area of the outlet openings from the medium pressure housing is considerably larger than the surface area of the outlet opening from the high pressure housing into the medium pressure housing.
- This gas generator is e.g. suitable for a pyrotechnic force element in which the gas emerging from the openings of the medium-pressure housing meets a piston which produces a pushing effect.
- the invention has for its object to design a device of the type mentioned so that the hydraulic circuit is quickly and safely pressurized if necessary.
- the main advantage of the invention is that the gas of the gas generator can be safely generated by the pyrotechnic device even after decades of storage without maintenance of the assembly. It is created in a fraction of a second and can therefore pressurize the hydraulic circuit via the sabot, the spring and the pressure stamp.
- the spring guarantees that the pressure on the pressure stamp can be maintained for a short time.
- the one-time pressure exerted by the device according to the invention is sufficient; in other systems in which the hydraulic circuit must be under pressure for a long time, the device bridges the time until an emergency unit has started and is fully operational.
- the pyrotechnic gas generator of the device consists of a propellant charge located in a combustion chamber, which is ignited by means of ignition electronics with or without an igniter.
- the ignition electronics are powered by a mains current or a battery.
- the spring which maintains the gas pressure for a long time can be a spiral spring, plate spring or gas spring. All parts of the device are housed in a housing which is interchangeably inserted into a wall of the hydraulic circuit. Depending on the task, a screw, bayonet or sliding lock can be used. The interchangeability guarantees a quick restoration of functionality after using the device. Experience has shown that gas generators are reliable for many years and do not require any maintenance.
- the single figure shows a schematic representation of a device 1 which is inserted into a wall 2 of a hydraulic tank.
- a combustion chamber 4 with a propellant charge 4a, a sabot 5, a coil spring 6 and a pressure stamp 7 are accommodated in a housing 3.
- the housing 3 is screwed with a thread 8 into a receiving bore 10 of the wall 2 provided with a thickening 9 and sealed by a collar 11 in which an O-ring 12 is inserted.
- An ignition electronics 13 is attached to the housing 3.
- the function of the device is as follows. After switching on the ignition electronics 13 with the aid of a mains current or a battery present in the ignition electronics 13, the propellant charge 4a is ignited. The resulting gas presses on the sabot 5, the pressure is transferred to the coil spring 6 and on the pressure stamp 7, which exerts the desired pressure on the hydraulic oil 2a located in a space 14 above the pressure stamp 7 and in the hydraulic tank 2. The maximum stroke of the sabot 5 is limited by a lock 15 and that of the plunger 7 by a collar 16. The spring 6 maintains the pressure on the hydraulic oil. If the combustion chamber 4 with the propellant charge 4a is enclosed in a manner not shown by a metallic bellows, the developed propellant gases are hermetically sealed, so that no propellant gas molecules can escape to the outside.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, die einen Hydraulikkreis unter Druck setzt.The invention relates to a device that pressurizes a hydraulic circuit.
Viele Anlagen im Bergungs- und Rettungswesen, Abschaltanlagen für Hochspannungskreise, Öffnungsanlagen für Nottüren usw. werden hydraulisch betrieben. Dabei kommt es darauf an, dafür verwendete hydraulische Kreise schnell unter Druck zu setzen, um die jeweilige Betätigung sicher ausführen zu können. Der für die hydraulischen Kreise erforderliche Druck wird dabei von Aggregaten geliefert, die, besonders wenn sie lange Zeit nicht in Betrieb waren, nicht schnell oder oft auch gar nicht anlaufen. Dadurch ist der Einsatz der jeweiligen Anlage nicht oder oft nicht schnell genug möglich.Many systems in the rescue and rescue service, shutdown systems for high-voltage circuits, opening systems for emergency doors, etc. are operated hydraulically. It is important to pressurize the hydraulic circuits used for this quickly so that the respective operation can be carried out safely. The pressure required for the hydraulic circuits is supplied by units which, especially if they have not been in operation for a long time, do not start quickly or often do not start at all. As a result, the use of the respective system is not possible or often not quickly enough.
Als nächstliegender Stand der Technik ist durch die DE 39 370 032 A1 ein pyrotechnischer Gasgenerator bekannt, bei dem ein eine druckgaserzeugende Kapsel aufnehmendes Hochdruckgehäuse mit einem Mitteldruckgehäuse umgeben ist. Dabei ist die Fläche der Austrittsöffnungen aus dem Mitteldruckgehäuse beträchtlich größer als die Fläche der Austrittsöffnung aus dem Hochdruckgehäuse in das Mitteldruckgehäuse. Dieser Gasgenerator ist z.B. geeignet für ein pyrotechnisches Kraftelement, bei dem das aus den Öffnungen des Mitteldruckgehäuses austretende Gas auf einen eine schiebende Wirkung erzeugenden Kolben trifft.The closest prior art is known from DE 39 370 032 A1, a pyrotechnic gas generator, in which a high-pressure housing accommodating a compressed gas-generating capsule is surrounded by a medium-pressure housing. The area of the outlet openings from the medium pressure housing is considerably larger than the surface area of the outlet opening from the high pressure housing into the medium pressure housing. This gas generator is e.g. suitable for a pyrotechnic force element in which the gas emerging from the openings of the medium-pressure housing meets a piston which produces a pushing effect.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß der Hydraulikkreis im Bedarfsfall schnell und sicher unter Druck gesetzt wird.The invention has for its object to design a device of the type mentioned so that the hydraulic circuit is quickly and safely pressurized if necessary.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the features characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß das Gas des Gaserzeugers selbst nach jahrzehntelanger Lagerung ohne Wartung der Baugruppe sicher durch die pyrotechnische Vorrichtung erzeugt werden kann. Es entsteht in Bruchteilen einer Sekunde und kann damit über den Treibspiegel, die Feder und den Druckstempel den Hydraulikkreis unter Druck setzen. Die Feder garantiert, daß der Druck auf den Druckstempel eine kurze Zeit aufrechterhalten werden kann. Bei vielen Anlagen, z.B. bei Nottüren, genügt der einmalige Druck, den die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ausübt, bei anderen Anlagen, bei denen der Hydraulikkreis lange unter Druck stehen muß, überbrückt die Vorrichtung die Zeit bis ein Notaggregat angesprungen und voll einsatzfähig ist.The main advantage of the invention is that the gas of the gas generator can be safely generated by the pyrotechnic device even after decades of storage without maintenance of the assembly. It is created in a fraction of a second and can therefore pressurize the hydraulic circuit via the sabot, the spring and the pressure stamp. The spring guarantees that the pressure on the pressure stamp can be maintained for a short time. In many systems, e.g. with emergency doors, the one-time pressure exerted by the device according to the invention is sufficient; in other systems in which the hydraulic circuit must be under pressure for a long time, the device bridges the time until an emergency unit has started and is fully operational.
Der pyrotechnische Gaserzeuger der Vorrichtung besteht in bekannter Weise aus einer in einer Brennkammer befindlichen Treibladung, die durch eine Anzündelektronik mit oder ohne Anzündstück angezündet wird. Je nach der bestehenden Möglichkeit wird dabei die Anzündelektronik durch einen Netzstrom oder eine Batterie gespeist. Die den Gasdruck längere Zeit aufrechterhaltende Feder kann eine Spiralfeder, Tellerfeder oder Gasfeder sein. Alle Teile der Vorrichtung sind in einem Gehäuse untergebracht, welches in eine Wandung des Hydraulikkreises austauschbar eingesetzt ist. Dabei kann je nach Aufgabe ein Schraub-, Bajonett- oder Schiebeverschluß verwendet werden. Die Austauschbarkeit garantiert eine schnelle Wiederherstellung der Funktionsfähigkeit nach dem Einsatz der Vorrichtung. Erfahrungsgemäß sind Gasgeneratoren viele Jahre funktionssicher und bedürfen keiner Wartung.In a known manner, the pyrotechnic gas generator of the device consists of a propellant charge located in a combustion chamber, which is ignited by means of ignition electronics with or without an igniter. Depending on the existing option, the ignition electronics are powered by a mains current or a battery. The spring which maintains the gas pressure for a long time can be a spiral spring, plate spring or gas spring. All parts of the device are housed in a housing which is interchangeably inserted into a wall of the hydraulic circuit. Depending on the task, a screw, bayonet or sliding lock can be used. The interchangeability guarantees a quick restoration of functionality after using the device. Experience has shown that gas generators are reliable for many years and do not require any maintenance.

Die Funktion der Vorrichtung ist folgendermaßen. Nach dem Einschalten der Anzündelektronik 13 mit Hilfe eines Netzstromes oder einer in der Anzündelektronik 13 vorhandenen Batterie wird die Treibladung 4a angezündet. Das entstehende Gas drückt auf den Treibspiegel 5, der Druck überträgt sich auf die Spiralfeder 6 und auf den Druckstempel 7, der auf das in einem Raum 14 oberhalb des Druckstempels 7 und in dem Hydrauliktank 2 befindliche Hydrauliköl 2a den gewünschten Druck ausübt. Der maximale Hub des Treibspiegels 5 wird durch einen Feststeller 15 und derjenige des Druckstempels 7 durch einen Bund 16 begrenzt. Dabei hält die Feder 6 den Druck auf das Hydrauliköl aufrecht. Wenn die Brennkammer 4 mit der Treibladung 4a in nicht dargestellter Weise von einem metallischen Faltenbalg umschlossen ist, sind die entwickelten Treibgase hermetisch abgeschlossen, so daß auch keine Treibgasmoleküle nach außen dringen können.The function of the device is as follows. After switching on the
