Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wartungseinheit für die Behandlung von Druckluft.The invention relates to a maintenance unit for the Treatment of compressed air.

Wartungseinheiten sind in einer Vielzahl bekannt. Die WO-A-96 38 671 offenbart eine Wartungseinheit, die aus mehreren Modulen besteht. Die Druckluft wird in jedem der Module behandelt. Es sind z. B. Filter, Regler, Entfeuchter, Öler usw. vorhanden, wobei jedes Modul sein eigenes Gehäuse aufweist und die Module über entsprechende Anschlüsse miteinander verbunden sind. Zwar sind derartige Wartungseinheiten robust, jedoch benötigen sie relativ viel Platz.A large number of maintenance units are known. The WO-A-96 38 671 discloses a maintenance unit which consists of consists of several modules. The compressed air is in each of the Modules covered. There are e.g. B. filter, regulator, Dehumidifiers, oilers etc. available, with each module has its own housing and the modules via appropriate Connections are interconnected. Such are Maintenance units are robust, but they require a relatively large amount Place.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wartungseinheit bereitzustellen, die einen geringeren Platzbedarf aufweist.The invention has for its object a Provide maintenance unit that is lower Has space requirements.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer ungehäusten Wartungseinheit für zu behandelnde Druckluft gelöst, die wenigsten zwei Anschlußstutzen aufweist, die in die freien, Druckluft führenden Rohrenden einschiebbar oder auf diese aufschiebbar sind und die einen zwischen den beiden Anschlußstutzen liegenden Flansch für externe Zusatzgeräte aufweist, wobei die Funktionselemente der Wartungseinheit gehäusefrei innerhalb der Anschlußstutzen und des Flansches liegen.This object is achieved with an unhoused Maintenance unit for compressed air to be treated, the has at least two connecting pieces that go into the free, Compressed air pipe ends can be pushed in or onto them are postponed and the one between the two Connection flange lying for external accessories has, the functional elements of the maintenance unit housing-free within the connection piece and the flange lie.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Wartungseinheit wird vollständig auf ein Gehäuse verzichtet, so daß der hierfür notwendige Platz eingespart wird. Die Funktionselemente werden direkt in die Rohrenden eingeschoben, so daß die Rohrenden das Gehäuse für die Funktionselemente bilden.The maintenance unit according to the invention is complete dispenses with a housing, so that the necessary for this Space is saved. The functional elements become direct inserted into the pipe ends so that the pipe ends Form housing for the functional elements.

Ein dichter Abschluß der Rohrelemte an die Wartungseinheit erfolgt über geeignete Dichtelemente, z. B. O-Ringe oder durch ein Aufschrumpfen der Anschlußstutzen auf die Rohrenden. Ein dichtes Verkleben, Vulkanisieren oder dergleichen ist ebenfalls denkbar. Auf jeden Fall befinden sich die Funktionselemente der Wartungseinheit, mit denen die Luft behandelt wird, innerhalb der Rohrenden bzw. in dem Abschnitt, der sich zwischen den beiden Rohrenden befindet.A tight seal of the pipe elements to the maintenance unit takes place via suitable sealing elements, e.g. B. O-rings or by shrinking the connection piece onto the Pipe ends. Dense gluing, vulcanizing or the like is also conceivable. Definitely the functional elements of the maintenance unit with which the air is treated within the pipe ends or in the section between the two pipe ends located.

Die erfindungsgemäße Wartungseinheit kann ebenfalls modulartig aufgebaut werden, wobei die einzelnen Module nacheinander in die Rohrenden eingeschoben werden.The maintenance unit according to the invention can also be built in modules, with the individual modules are inserted one after the other into the pipe ends.

Eine Weiterbildung sieht vor, dass der Flansch zum Anschluß eines Vorratsbehälters, eines Reglers, eines Displays, einer Eingabeeinheit, von pneumatischen oder elektrischen Anschlüssen oder dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Über den Flansch ist die Wartungseinheit zugänglich, so daß entweder Meßwerte abgelesen werden können, die Wartungseinheit über Eingabeeinheiten, z. B. eine Tastatur, Stellelementen oder dergleichen verstellt bzw. eingestellt werden kann oder das Öl zugeführt bzw. Wasser abgeführt werden kann.A further development provides that the flange for connection a storage container, a regulator, a display, an input unit, pneumatic or electrical Connections or the like is formed. On the Flange is accessible to the maintenance unit, so either Measured values can be read via the maintenance unit Input units, e.g. B. a keyboard, controls or the like can be adjusted or adjusted Oil can be supplied or water can be removed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Wartungseinheit baut wesentlich kleiner, ist relativ unauffällig und kann z. B. direkt am Verbraucher in die entsprechende Druckluft führende Leitung eingebaut werden.The maintenance unit according to the invention builds significantly smaller, is relatively inconspicuous and can e.g. B. directly on Line into the corresponding compressed air line to be built in.

Claims (4)

  1. A housing-free maintenance unit for compressed air, comprising at least two connecting pieces which can be inserted into or pushed onto the free ends of compressed air transporting pipes and which comprises a flange disposed between the two connecting pieces for additional external devices, wherein the operating elements of the maintenance unit are disposed, without a housing, within the connecting pieces and the flange.
  2. The maintenance unit according to claim 1, characterized in that said connecting pieces are shaped for reception by or insertion into circular pipes.
  3. The maintenance unit according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said flange is shaped for connecting a supply container, a regulator, a display, an input unit, pneumatic or electrical connections and/or a collecting container.
  4. The maintenance unit according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the free ends of compressed air transporting pipes form a housing for said operating elements.
