Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing arrangement on a piston-cylinder unit, with a piston which is longitudinally movable in a cylinder with a cylinder liner in the direction of a central axis, with a piston jacket and a non-contact gap seal between the cylinder liner and piston jacket for sealing a pressurized liquid or gaseous medium, the piston-cylinder unit being installed in a housing.
  • Sealing arrangements of this type are used in a known manner in compressors, servomotors, volumetric pistons or Stirling free-piston engines, which interact with a gaseous medium or, in the case of servomotors or volumetric pistons, under certain circumstances also liquid medium.
  • Known compressors of this type have a piston-cylinder unit, in which the seal between the piston and the cylinder is formed by a labyrinth seal. The piston in the cylinder must be guided as centrally as possible in order to avoid touching the piston jacket on the cylinder wall and to prevent corresponding damage or seizing.
  • the piston In order to meet these guide conditions, the piston is provided with a piston rod which is supported and guided in a crosshead.
  • This crosshead is in turn known Driven by a rotating crankshaft via a crank rod. That way . generates the necessary oscillating movements of the piston, the desired guidance of the piston in the cylinder being ensured by the crosshead.
  • Corresponding compressors are described in the specialist book “Piston Compressor” by KH kuttner, Springer Ver ⁇ lag 1991, pages 236 and the following.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is that no very narrow gaps can be provided between the piston skirt and the cylinder wall, but rather a relatively large amount of play is necessary.
  • the guidance of the piston according to the invention ensures precise guidance of the translatory movements of the piston along the central axis of the cylinder and prevents deviating movements perpendicular to this central axis.
  • This has the advantage that there is a minimal sealing gap between the piston skirt and the cylinder wall. can be set, and thus the need for the arrangement of labyrinth seals is eliminated. There is also no risk that the cross-section of the sealing gap assumes a crescent-shaped shape, thereby reducing the sealability of the sealing arrangement.
  • Conical centering on the components of the piston and of the cylinder results in the advantage that these parts are aligned exactly on the same axis and are held in this position. This ensures that the piston and the cylinder do not touch at any point during the course of the movement, and that the annular gap remains constant during the entire operating time.
  • the cylinder is also connected to the machine housing via a conical centering or via a plurality of elastic holders. At least three brackets are fastened to the housing, elastic tongues, via a lateral surface of a housing part of the cylinder, determining the radial positioning and thus centering of the cylinder.
  • holding surfaces on the elastic tongues define an inner diameter which is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer surface on the housing part of the cylinder.
  • the lateral surface on which the elastic holders rest can be designed as an outer surface or as an inner surface, and the holding surfaces on the holders are correspondingly directed inwards or outwards.
  • Another advantage of the arrangement is that the components of the piston and the cylinder, namely the piston skirt and the cylinder liner, which form the boundary surfaces of the gap of the gap seal, consist of a material which has a very low thermal expansion coefficient. efficient.
  • Such materials are known per se, and in the present case high-nickel steel or sintered graphite or coal are selected.
  • the various components have the same possible thermal expansions at the same temperatures, the linear thermal expansion coefficient being at least 4 times smaller than that of unalloyed steel or iron. This ensures that there are practically no additional changes in the sealing gap when there are temperature differences between the piston and cylinder.
  • this embodiment also has the further advantage that pistons and cylinders are practically assembled at the beginning with a Passitz and the component made of sintered graphite or with the nickel graphite layer, i.e. the piston jacket or the cylinder liner, is ground in by appropriate running-in, and the Sealing gap is formed by running in.
  • This option can be used if the smallest possible sealing gaps are desired and the correspondingly high costs for running in and then removing the abrasion can be accepted.
  • sintered graphite or coatings of nickel graphite other materials can be used which have the same thermal properties and the same emergency running properties. However, the materials mentioned prove to be particularly suitable.
  • the individual components are assembled using elastic tensioning elements, which in Act in the direction of the axis of the conical centerings or the central axis.
  • the interaction of the conical centerings and the clamping forces results in the advantage that even with temperature differences between the components in the radial direction there is no additional play, since the components in the conical guides always remain pressed together in the axial direction. This ensures compliance with the concentricity between the piston and cylinder.
  • each of the two spaced-apart guides consists of several plate-shaped spring elements.
  • the proposed arrangement of the guides with the spring elements has the advantage that the piston, which carries out oscillating linear movements, is centered and guided precisely on its central axis.
  • the guides have no parts that move against each other and are subject to sliding wear.
  • the piston is guided and centered by the two guides so that it can perform a purely axial relative movement without contact with the cylinder. This can be done, for example, in a lubricant-free oxygen processor or on a lubricant-free piston in a Stirling free-piston engine.
  • the spring elements of the individual guides are arranged in a plane which is approximately at right angles to the central axis of the oscillating machine element stands.
  • the main spring parts which are plate-shaped, are located in this plane. This arrangement of the main spring parts allows the movement and spring data to be calculated in a known manner, so that the movements of the machine element can also be precisely determined.
  • Shorter auxiliary spring parts are arranged in the outer region of the long main spring parts, at right angles to the main spring parts, so that these auxiliary spring parts run approximately parallel to the central axis.
  • the auxiliary spring parts are connected to the main spring parts via an additional connecting element, which is equipped with corresponding fastening means for the fixed connection of the ends of the main and auxiliary spring parts.
  • this additional connecting element between each auxiliary spring part and the associated main spring part results in the advantage that the spring element is rigid in the angled area and the deformations of the spring elements only take place in the plate-shaped areas.
  • the individual auxiliary spring parts and main spring parts, as well as the connecting elements can be manufactured very precisely in accordance with the technical specifications so that they have the desired values during installation, both with regard to dimensional accuracy and strength values. This exact correspondence with specified masses and strength values can be achieved with conventional manufacturing methods, since the spring parts and the connecting elements have simple shapes.
  • the individual components can also be easily checked and parts that deviate from the standard data can be easily eliminated.
  • each spring element from several individual spring parts enables adaptation to different requirements and has the considerable advantage that no parts of the spring elements have to be deformed, for example bent, during manufacture.
  • the plate-like design of the individual spring element parts allows precise machining to the desired dimensions at any time, for example by grinding.
  • the main and auxiliary spring parts are normally flat plates.
  • the plate-shaped spring elements of each guide are expediently arranged centrally symmetrically, so that four, six or more spring element parts extend radially outward from the central axis in the plane of the guide. Odd numbers of spring element parts in the plane of the guide are possible, but expediently each spring element comprises a main spring part which extends symmetrically on both sides of the central axis. The fact that angles of equal size are included between the spring elements lying in one plane results in the advantage that the machine element is centered exactly symmetrically on the central axis.
  • the dimensions of the long main spring parts and the short auxiliary spring parts are selected in a known manner so that the stiffness of the two guides, which guide the piston, is at least 100 times greater in the direction of the central axis than transverse to the central axis.
  • guides with a rigidity ratio of 500 and more are used.
  • the force absorption, the rigidity or the movement paths can be changed by adapting the individual spring element parts.
  • the stiffness ratio can be changed, for example, not only by changing the dimensions of the plate-shaped spring parts, but also by arranging at least two auxiliary spring parts or main spring parts at a distance parallel to one another, or by designing the auxiliary and main spring parts in this way. If no change in the spring constant is desired, two groups of plate-shaped spring elements can be arranged in a guide in two planes spaced apart from one another. This leads to an increase in the load-bearing capacity of the corresponding guide with an approximately constant stiffness ratio. With all of these Different arrangements and embodiments can always use the same basic elements of main spring parts, auxiliary spring parts and connecting elements, so that the calculation bases are simplified and the manufacture of the individual parts is also made considerably easier.
  • the main spring part of the individual spring elements can be formed in one or two parts. If the guide is arranged at the end of an axle, it can be advantageous to form the main spring parts in one piece, since they can then be connected to the axle with the aid of a central connecting element. However, if the guide is arranged somewhere in the axis area of the machine element, it is often expedient to design the main spring parts in two parts and then to connect the inner ends of the main spring parts directed against the central axis to the axis by means of appropriate fastening devices.
  • pistons can be guided in a cylinder so precisely that lubricant-free operation is possible, and sealing gaps between the piston and cylinder of minimal dimensions are nevertheless possible.
  • two identical guides which are arranged at a distance from each other, the piston is guided exactly along the central axis and disturbing movement deviations are avoided.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to guide the piston or the piston rod of a free-piston engine, for example a Stirling engine, without the use of lubricant in the cylinder, specifically the working piston as well as the displacement piston. Contamination of the pressure medium by abrasion or lubricant residues is completely avoided.
  • the same also applies to versions of oxygen compressors or to compressors with other pressure media which must not be contaminated by lubricants or abrasion.
  • the inventive Sealing arrangement requires no lubricant and also ensures that no wear occurs in the area of the sealing gap during operation.
