Definitions

  • the invention relates to a condenser of an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as an insert which is arranged in such a condenser.
  • a capacitor according to the preamble of claim 1 is e.g. from JP-A-09 053 868.
  • a collector profile of a capacitor of an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle is known, which is closed at a lower end side by means of a bottom.
  • an inlet opening and a return opening for the refrigerant to be dried of the condenser is provided in one of the lower end side associated flow section of the collector profile.
  • a dryer cartridge is also arranged, which causes by an annular flange, the forced passage of the refrigerant from the inlet opening through the dryer cartridge and to the return opening.
  • the dryer cartridge is held in the lower portion of the collector profile by a latched with the dryer cartridge spacer rod, which passes through the collector profile through to an upper end side of the Sammlerprofiles and there by means of a closure cap is axially fixed.
  • the closure lid can be screwed by means of appropriate thread on the closure lid on the one hand and on the upper end face of the collector profile on the other hand on this upper face of the collector profile and thus closes the interior of the Sammlerprofiles.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a capacitor with an insert whose dryer cartridge can be handled and replaced with simplified means.
  • the dryer cartridge can be exchanged in a simple manner from the end face of the collector profile assigned to the flow section.
  • This end face is at the end arranged capacitor and accordingly vertically positioned collector profile, the lower end face, so that the dryer cartridge is easily exchanged from below.
  • the features of the invention results in a shorter input and Ausschubweg and thus a faster assembly and disassembly, so that the replacement of the dryer cartridge is much easier.
  • the releasable connecting means on locking elements which are provided on the dryer cartridge or on the closure lid, and there are provided corresponding locking points, which - are assigned to the closure lid or the dryer cartridge - as a counterpart to the locking elements.
  • the thus created, positive locking connection allows a particularly simple assembly and disassembly of the dryer cartridge on the cap. If both the dryer cartridge and the closure lid are designed as plastic components, the locking elements and locking points can be integrally formed in a simple manner.
  • the releasable latching connection means opposite side of the dryer cartridge is provided with a receptacle for fixing a at the opposite end of the flow section of the collector profile supporting spacers.
  • the flow section opposite end face of the collector profile is designed so identical to the flow section associated end face that the closure lid can be fixed to both end faces.
  • the closure lid can be used both for a version with a spacer bar and for a version without spacer bar. This results in a modular construction of the closure lid and in conjunction with the embodiments described above, a modular design of the dryer cartridge.
  • the annular flange also experiences an axial seal by the axial support on the annular shoulder. This results in an improved sealing effect between the inlet and the return area for the refrigerant.
  • a condenser for an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle has, according to FIGS. 1 and 2, a tubular collector profile 1, which is connected laterally to a rib / tube block 20 and is vertically aligned when the condenser is arranged vertically.
  • the collector profile 1 is unspecified Way via an inlet opening 21 and a return opening 22 connected to a manifold of the capacitor.
  • the collector profile 1 extends over the entire height of the ribs / tube block 20 and has in the embodiment of FIG. 1 at its upper end face 2 a bottom 3, which closes the collector profile 1 and is determined in particular by brazing in the collector profile 1.
  • the tubular collector profile 1 is closed by a closure lid 5 by the closure lid 5 is screwed into the lower end face 4 of the collector profile 1.
  • the closure lid 5 has an external thread 18, which engages in a corresponding internal thread 19 of the lower end face 4 of the collector profile 1.
  • the closure lid 5 has two axially spaced-apart annular grooves, into which O-rings can be used for sealing.
  • a dryer cartridge 6 is used in a lower, designed by the inlet and the return opening as a flow section half of the collector profile 1, which is provided with a filter with a mesh size of preferably 0.06 to 0.1 mm.
  • the dryer cartridge 6 is designed tubular or sleeve-shaped and has a lattice-like perforated shell, the inside of which is covered with the filter screen 7.
  • a lower front end of the dryer cartridge 6 is closed by a bottom not specified.
  • An upper end face of the dryer cartridge 6 is closed by a sealing piston 8, which is axially pressurized by a pressure spring 9 which is supported on an upper support base 10 and which is related to the longitudinal axis of the collector profile 1 and the dryer cartridge 6.
  • a dryer granulate filling is provided, which is compressed compactly by the sealing piston 8.
  • annular space is formed, which serves to guide the refrigerant.
  • the annulus is in an upper one Inlet chamber 12, in which the inlet opening opens, as well as in a lower return space 13, from which the return opening is branched, divided by a radially outwardly projecting, annular sealing flange 14 whose outer periphery is radially supported on the inner wall of the collector profile 1.
  • a circumferential annular shoulder 15 is provided on the inner wall of the collector profile 1, which represents a gradation to a smaller inner diameter.
  • the sealing flange 14 is additionally supported axially.
  • the inlet chamber 12 is axially bounded above by an annular circumferential sealing shoulder 11, which also protrudes radially outward from the dryer cartridge 6 and is radially supported on the inner wall of the collector profile 1.
  • the lower end face of the return chamber 13 is limited by the closure lid 5.
  • the dryer cartridge 6 has at its lower front end a plurality of annularly distributed over the circumference of the dryer cartridge 6 latching lugs 17, which are designed radially elastic yielding. These locking lugs 17 are latching elements of a latching connection, which serves for releasably securing the dryer cartridge 6 to the closure lid 5.
  • the closure lid 5 on its inner side a circumferential, radial annular groove which is designed as a latching point in the form of a latching groove 16.
  • the locking groove 16 is adapted to the dimensions of the locking lugs 17 in order to achieve a secure, coaxial positioning and fixing the dryer cartridge 6 on the closure lid 5.
  • the closure lid 5 is then designed axially to the locking groove 16 so that there is a wedge-shaped annular space around the dryer cartridge 6, which is not designated in detail in Fig. 1.
  • This wedge-like annular space allows the attack of a tool, in particular a screwdriver to solve the dryer cartridge 6 from the cap 5 can.
  • the closure lid 5 is first in a simple manner by means its locking groove 16 clipped onto the locking lugs 17 of the dryer cartridge 6, so that the dryer cartridge 6 and the closure lid 5 are firmly connected. Subsequently, the dryer cartridge 6 is inserted from the lower end face 4 forth together with the closure lid 5 in the collector profile 1, wherein the sealing shoulder 11 slides axially along the inner wall of the collector profile 1.
  • the sealing flange 14 abuts axially on the annular shoulder 15, resulting in the described radial and axial seal at the same time. Thereby, the safe separation between the inlet chamber 12 and the return chamber 13 is achieved, so that the refrigerant is forced to flow through the dryer cartridge 6 and thus through the dryer granulate filling.
  • the dryer cartridge 6 according to FIGS. 2 and 3 corresponds to the dryer cartridge 6, as has been described with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the dryer cartridge 6 is inserted from the upper end face 2 into the collector profile 1.
  • the bottom 3 is fixedly arranged on the lower end face 4 of the collector profile 1, preferably soldered to the collector profile 1.
  • a holding plate 24 of a spacer rod 23 is releasably secured by means of a latching connection, wherein the spacer rod 23 protrudes coaxially from the dryer cartridge 6 upwards.
  • the retaining plate 24 is provided in the illustrated embodiment instead of the support base 10 of FIG. 1, so that it takes over the support function for the compression spring 9.
  • the spacer rod 23 has about half of its length radially outwardly projecting guide elements 25, which are supported radially on the inner wall of the collector profile 1 and ensure a secure centering of the spacer rod 23 over its length.
  • a free front end 26 of the spacer rod 23 is supported in the mounted state on a flat support surface 27 of the closure lid 5, which screwed in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 in the upper end face 2 of the collector profile 1 is.
  • the upper end face 2 of the collector profile 1 is provided with a corresponding internal thread.
  • the retaining disk 24 of the spacer rod 23 is integrally connected to the spacer rod 23.
