Definitions

  • the technical sector of the present invention is that of enclosures intended to contain pressurized fluids, such as tanks subjected to internal pressure, and more particularly tanks of liquefied petroleum gas, called LPG, for vehicles.
  • pressurized fluids such as tanks subjected to internal pressure, and more particularly tanks of liquefied petroleum gas, called LPG, for vehicles.
  • the enclosures intended to contain pressurized fluids are made of a metallic sheet material, formed to obtain a substantially cylindrical reservoir whose ends are in the form of a portion of a sphere.
  • the LPG tanks used for example in automobiles are cylindrical as described above or toric. Their shape has the advantage of being well suited to a uniform distribution of the stresses around the periphery of the tank.
  • the toroidal tanks are mounted at the location of the spare tire. Their capacity is limited due to the lack of space available at this location.
  • Cylindrical tanks are generally arranged at the bottom of the trunk of the automobile, where they considerably reduce the volume of the latter, especially as the compartment which is intended to accommodate them is parallelepipedic and that the volume between the corners of the compartment and the arc of the tank is empty. There is therefore a loss of useful volume, both for the trunk and for the tank. Cylindrical tanks can also be mounted under the rear overhang trunk. In this case, the available space being limited in height, a cylindrical reservoir of small diameter is used, or several cylindrical reservoirs of small diameter connected together by a pipe welded radially on the periphery of the cylinders. This solution allows not to encroach on the volume of the trunk. It is nevertheless expensive and does not allow the entire volume available under the trunk to be used since an empty part remains between the two adjoining cylindrical tanks.
  • the toric and cylindrical tanks are therefore not fully satisfactory. Indeed, they are heavy because their walls are thick. In addition, they are often required to be mounted in compartments of parallelepiped shape whose available space is not optimally used.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a light and resistant tank. Its mechanical characteristics must enable it to withstand the internal pressure involved in storing the pressurized fluid, external stresses, such as an impact, when the vehicle is deformed during an accident and the increase in internal pressure in vehicle fire.
  • the tank must have a shape making it suitable for being housed in compartments with shapes composed of parallelepipeds.
  • the present invention relates to a reservoir intended to contain a pressurized fluid and capable of being housed in a compartment of substantially parallelepiped shape, characterized in that it comprises at least two opposite vaulted walls provided with the less than one well, the edges of which are curved towards the inside of the tank according to a circular arc profile and a reinforcement comprising a seat at each of its ends flared according to the same circular arc profile as that of the well for adjust in the corresponding well of each of the two opposite walls and maintain the spacing of these two walls.
  • the reservoir intended to contain pressurized fluid and capable of being housed in a compartment of a vehicle is also characterized in that it comprises at least two opposite vaulted walls comprising at least one well whose edges are curved towards the inside of the tank according to a profile substantially in an arc of a circle and at least reinforcement whose ends are flared in the shape of a corolla according to the same profile in an arc of circle as that of the well to adjust edge to edge with the corresponding well of each of the two opposite walls of the tank and maintain the spacing of these two walls.
  • the reinforcement can be constituted by a solid bar connecting the seats together.
  • the reinforcement can be constituted by a hollow tube connecting the seats together.
  • the reservoir according to the invention is characterized in that at least two opposite walls comprising the wells have a profile in the form of an arch.
  • the tank according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the other walls of the tank is curved.
  • the tank according to the invention is advantageously characterized in that the interior of the tank is in the form of a vault.
  • the reservoir according to the invention is advantageously characterized in that the seat of the reinforcement is applied to a portion of the well in which it is inserted.
  • the reservoir may include two sets of wells arranged in two parallel rows in which reinforcements are engaged.
  • the reinforcements are produced in the form of a single piece whose ends are in corolla.
  • each reinforcement is made in at least three parts, one substantially cylindrical extended on either side by a cap in the shape of a corolla.
  • each reinforcement consists of a hollow tube connecting the edge of the wells to each other, made in the form of a single piece whose ends are corolla.
  • the reinforcements can also be made in at least three parts, one substantially cylindrical extended on either side by a cap in the shape of a corolla.
  • An advantage of the reservoir according to the invention consists in that its structure allows it to be light, to be resistant and to be able to deform without breaking.
  • Yet another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the structure of the reservoir has surface continuity between the walls and the reinforcements, which improves the resistance of the reservoir to pressure.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of the reservoir according to invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an eighth of a reservoir shown in three-dimensional mesh
  • FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal section of the curved face of a half tank according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a view of a reinforcement
  • FIG. 5 is a view of a variant of a reinforcement
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a portion of tank according to the invention provided with a full reinforcement
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view of a portion of a reservoir according to the invention provided with a hollow reinforcement
  • FIG. 8 is another view in longitudinal section of the curved face of a half tank according to the invention.
  • the tank 1 shown in Figure 1 has a generally curved shape with six walls defining a set of arches, two upper walls 2 and lower 3, two side walls 4 and 5 and two front walls 6 and rear 7. Each of the walls is obtained from a metal sheet conforming to the desired curvature. Walls 2 and 3 are larger than the other walls and are joined by reinforcements described below.
  • the tank 1 can be made in the form of two half shells 8 assembled along a longitudinal plane and joined by internal reinforcements 9. Only a quarter of a half shell is shown in Figure 2 for convenience.
  • the two half shells 8 and the reinforcements 9 can be assembled by welding.
  • the opposite walls 2 and 3 of each half-shell are in the form of a vault whose concavity is directed towards the interior of the tank.
  • the joint plane 11 of the wall 2 and the four adjacent side walls 4-7 is rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
  • the two vaulted walls 2 and 3 of the reservoir have wells 12 in profile in an arc of a circle, the edges of which are curved in a continuous profile with that of the vaults .
  • the reservoir according to the invention can be produced in a variety of ways.
  • the different wells 12 of the two opposite walls 2 and 3 of the tank are arranged opposite one another. They are designed to receive the reinforcements 9.
  • the reinforcements make it possible to take up the forces of the large vaulted walls 2 and 3 of the tank, so as to eliminate the bending moments at the junction between the vaulted walls and the curved walls.
  • Each well 12 has a profile in an arc of a circle oriented towards the interior of the reservoir and is terminated by a edge 14.
  • the reinforcements 9 are constituted by a full flared spacer at each of its ends, thus giving it a valve shape.
  • Each reinforcement has a rod
  • the reinforcements 9 consist of a tube 16 flared at each of its ends to delimit a seat 17 whose radius of curvature corresponds to that of the arcuate profile of the wells 12 formed in the vaulted walls 2 and 3 of the tank.
  • the rod 13 and the tube 16 of the reinforcements 9 engage in the wells 12 of the wall of the tank until that the seat 15 or 17 of the reinforcements comes to adjust in abutment on the edges of the well 12 to the profile in an arc.
  • Excellent sealing of the tank is ensured by welding the seat 15 or 17 of the reinforcements in the wells 12 of the tank.
  • the seat 15 or 17 of the reinforcement does not completely fill the well 12 of the wall 2 of the reservoir, leaving a part 18 or 19 of the well 12 free.
  • the rupture pressure of a tank thus produced with tubular or full reinforcements is 12.10 6 Pa for a total mass of the order of 45 kg, a useful volume of 95 liters and a useful volume / bulk volume ratio of
  • the embodiments of the invention described above and shown in the figures are in no way limiting and may give rise to variants.
  • the rod 10 of the reinforcements 3 could have a variable diameter and be thinned towards the joint plane 6.
  • the tank thus obtained can be housed in the available space of the vehicle. This space can be delimited by several parallelepipeds, that is to say an assembly of elementary planar and circular surfaces.
  • FIG. 8 shows a section of the wall 2 made at the level of the wells 20. Two rows of wells 20a and 20b are for example provided at each wall 2.
  • Each well 20 has a circular arc profile oriented towards the inside of the tank, the end edge of which comes in continuity with the edge of the reinforcement 21 opposite. Thus, one can carry out a weld 22 edge to edge between the well
  • the reinforcement 21a is tubular with a flared end in the shape of a corolla; but, one could use in the same way a reinforcement constituted by a solid rod.
  • a reinforcement 21b in the form of a tube extended by a cap 23 having a tubular end connected by the weld 24 to the reinforcement 21b and a flared end in the shape of a corolla connected to the well 20b by the weld 25.
  • the welds 24 and 25 are produced as explained previously edge to edge. This achievement allows better control of the manufacturing process.
  • edge-to-edge welding is meant welding by jointing with welding double-sided, a jointed joint in a single weld, a non-jointed joint in a single weld with a removable slat, an assembly with weld on a raised edge or an assembly with a corner weld on a permanent slat.
