Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to variable pressure containers and more particularly heat exchanger condensers in an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle.
- Containers of this kind include, inter alia, an exchangeable cartridge filled with desiccant granules.
- This cartridge is introduced into a tubular element delimiting an opening of the container to the outside.
- This opening can be closed by means of a plug provided with O-rings and which can be introduced by sliding in the tubular element. Movement of the cap inwardly is limited by stop means in the form of a circular shoulder on the inner surface of the tubular member.
- detachable axial abutment means can be put in place inside the tubular element in order to limit the movement of the plug. outwards.
- FR-2 798 456 a container in the form of a collector for a condenser of an air conditioning system.
- This manifold comprises a tubular element closed by a cylindrical plug whose outward displacement is prevented by axial abutment means constituted by a circlip in the form of a split elastic ring.
- this circlips When the plug is in place in the tubular element, this circlips is introduced through the open end of the tubular element and placed in a circular groove provided on the inner face of the tubular element, near the end thereof.
- the cap has at its end directed towards the circlip a circular peripheral recess adapted to the shape of the circlip so as to receive it when the cap is pushed outwardly by an overpressure prevailing in the container.
- the document EP 1 132 695 shows a device in which a clip extends through an opening in the wall of a tube of a container, a channel made at the top of a plug, and an opening diametrically opposed to the first to prevent the plug from come out during overpressure.
- One end of the clip forms a retaining hook while its opposite end protrudes outside the tube to be blocked with a rod or the like.
- the container may be a heat exchanger condenser or other variable pressure vessel. In the case of the condenser, this pressure can go down to atmospheric pressure when the installation of which the condenser is part is not in operation.
- This container which is in itself known will not be described in detail; it is in the figures materialized by a tubular element 1 connected to the container and defining an opening 2 of the container to the outside.
- the opening 2 is closed by a plug 3 having generally the shape of a cylindrical piston which is introduced by axial sliding in the tubular element 1.
- This plug is preferably made of aluminum and comprises sealing means comprising in the example illustrated two circular grooves 4 serving housing two O-rings 5.
- the tubular element 1 has on its inner face a circular shoulder 6 constituting an abutment member delimiting the displacement of the plug 3 inwardly.
- axial abutment When the plug 3 is in place in the tubular element 1 (see figure 2 ) and that it is pushed outwards by an overpressure which prevails inside the container, its displacement is limited by means of axial abutment (see figure 1 ).
- axial abutment means comprise a plate 7 which is illustrated as a whole with Figures 4 and 5 . In the position of the figure 1 , the large lower surface of the plate constitutes a stop surface for the stopper.
- This plate 7 which is preferably made of steel, is introduced transversely into the tubular element 1 by a first slot 8 of the wall thereof to protrude outside the tubular element by a second slot 9 diametrically opposed to the first slot.
- the first and second slots 8, 9 constitute means for axially locking the plate when it is in the position illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 .
- the security is further improved by the rod having a T-shape as shown in the figures.
- the central hole 10 of the plate 7 has an elongated shape allowing the end of the rod to be introduced through this hole when the plug is pushed upwards by the overpressure, after which the plug can be rotated about 90 ° to prevent it from going down again when the pressure decreases.
- the rod preferably has on the transverse element 12 of its T-shape two parallel flat flats 13 allowing the grip by a tool to rotate the plug 3.
- this shape of the rod offers an excellent grip for the subsequent removal. plug outside the tubular element 1.
- the same abutment function for the plate during its introduction can be obtained by an increased width of the rear portion of the plate 7 which then has shoulders abutting against the outer surface of the tubular element 1 .
- the front end of the plate is preferably beveled.
- the plate advantageously comprises one or more through holes or blind 15 allowing the taking by a suitable tool.
- FIG 9 illustrates a variant of the plate 7 in which the ends of the plate have a raised rim 16 constituting a transverse blocking means of the plate when the cap 3 is in abutment against the abutment surface of the plate.
- Slots 8, 9 have in this case a larger width compared to that illustrated on the Figures 1 and 2 to allow the introduction of the plate.
- the central hole 10 of the plate and the rod 11 of the cap can be simply replaced by this raised rim, which further simplifies the manufacture of parts.
- all of these transverse blocking means of the plate can be used in combination with each other.
- the plate having a raised rim end can easily be manufactured in a stamping and punching press.
- the means according to the invention operate in the following manner from a situation in which the plug 3 and the plate 7 are dissociated from the tubular element 1 of the container.
- the plug 3 is introduced by axial sliding in the tubular element 1 until it abuts against the circular shoulder 6 on the inner surface of the tubular element.
- the plate 7 is introduced through the slots 8, 9 of the tubular member until its shoulders 14 abut against the inner surface of the tubular member. Because the stem 11 of the plug has the T shape, it is important to ensure that it is when introducing the oriented cap as shown in FIG. figure 2 to allow the subsequent passage of the rod through the central hole 10 of the plate. Then, it is necessary to cause the increase of the pressure in the container so that the cap 3 is pushed outwards, which has the result that it abuts against the plate 7 and that the rod does the same. time protruding through the central hole of the plate. Then simply turn the cap about 90 ° to prevent it from going down again during a depression.
- Disassembly of the assembly is done in reverse order. First, the pressure must have come down significantly to be almost equal to the atmospheric pressure. It is then necessary to start by turning the cap about 90 ° of the T-rod. The cap is then moved inwards by pushing on the rod and this enough so that it is completely clear of the central hole 10 of the plate 7. Then, the plate 7 can be removed from the tubular element to allow the removal of the plug, which finally gives access to the inside of the tubular element.
