Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hydropneumatic pressure accumulator with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Fig. 4 from PATENT ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN vol. 1996, no. 09, September 30, 1996, (1996-09-30) & JP 08 121401 A (NOK), May 14, 1996 (1996-05-14) is a generic hydropneumatic pressure accumulator known with a gas space and an oil space and a metal bellows separating these spaces, which has an end plate which can be moved in accordance with the volume changes from gas space to oil space.
  • a valve tappet connected to the end plate of the metal bellows has a locking body, the two opposite sides of which are designed as valve cones and can be brought into contact with a valve seat, which is arranged on the separating plate, and once with a valve seat on the bottom-side hydraulic connection, which in Points towards the interior of the further fluid space.
  • both the valve cones mentioned and the valve seats point away from one another with the apices of their conical surfaces, a good sealing behavior being achieved via the conical surfaces.
  • the known device has a large structure and with regard to the fluid quantities to be moved in the metal bellows and additionally in the further fluid space, the actuation behavior for the valve is delayed, so that overloading of the metal bellows can occur, at least for a short time.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pressure accumulator of the type under consideration, in which overloads of the metal bellows during operation are avoided with certainty.
  • a hydropneumatic pressure accumulator of the type mentioned this object is achieved according to the invention in that the hydraulic connection contains the valve with its two valve seats, that the apex of the conical surfaces of both valve seats and both valve cones face each other, and that the valve seats are arranged axially between the valve cones ,
  • a compact hydraulic accumulator is created and the valve in the hydraulic connection is activated directly via the end plate of the metal bellows, so that due to the low fluid volume to be controlled in the metal bellows, in addition to the reduction in weight compared to known solutions, a particularly good response behavior is also ensured. Furthermore, overloading of the metal bellows is avoided with certainty.
  • the pressure accumulator shown in FIG. 1 has a one designated as a whole Housing with a substantially circular cylindrical interior on.
  • the housing 1 is provided with a hydraulic connection 2 at the bottom and points in its opposite the hydraulic connection 2
  • Cover part 3 has a gas filling opening, which is closed by a plug 5 is and makes it possible, by filling with a compressible gas in the adjacent gas space 7 to produce a desired gas pre-filling pressure.
  • a metal bellows 9 which has a circular cylindrical shape owns and is closed at one end by an end plate 11.
  • the outer diameter of the bellows 9 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the housing 1.
  • the hydraulic connection 2 contains a double-acting oil valve 15 two valve seats 17 and 18, which are each formed by conical surfaces. With the valve seats 17, 18 act blocking bodies in the form of valve cones 20 and 21 together, which are attached to a valve lifter 23, the attached to the inside of the end plate 11 of the bellows 9 and together with the end plate 11 during its lifting movements in the direction of a longitudinal axis 25 is movable back and forth.
  • the related to the longitudinal axis 25 axial distances between the valve seats 17 and 18 and the associated Valve cones 20 and 21 on the valve lifter 23 are selected so that at a predetermined stroke length by which the end plate 11 in FIG.
  • FIG. 2 In the embodiment of FIG. 2 is in contrast to the embodiment of Fig. 1, the interior of the bellows 9, the cover part 3 of the Housing 1 facing where the gas connection is located.
  • the valve lifter 23 of the oil valve 15 on the Outside of the end plate 11 of the bellows 9 attached The way it works is the same as in the example of Fig. 1, i.e.
  • Valve cone 20, 21 each when lifting the End plate 11 come in both directions along the longitudinal axis 25 Valve cone 20, 21 each when reaching the relevant end position System on the associated valve seats 17 and 18 to the supply or To block the discharge of hydraulic fluid into or from the oil space 8 and the corresponding end positions of the end plate 11 of the bellows 9 define.
  • valve cones 20 and 21 facing each other, and valve seats 17 and 18 are located axially between the valve cones 20 and 21.
  • a pressure gradient leads, as is the case with one would not result in complete locking of the valve 15 on the bellows 9, too a corresponding increase in the contact pressure between valve cones 20 or 21 on the associated valve seats 17 or 18.
  • the axial distances between the valve seats 17, 18 of the valve 15 and the valve cone 20 and 21 are only given as examples. This Distances can be chosen as desired so that there is enough space for the end plate 11 of the bellows 9 in operation a desired working stroke length between the hydropneumatically defined end positions.
