Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve in a filter according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such valves are used as safety or bypass valves in filters, for example for internal combustion engines, in particular in liquid filters, in which a filter element arranged in a filter element flows through the fluid to be cleaned and is discharged again via the clean side of the filter element.
  • a filter element arranged in a filter element flows through the fluid to be cleaned and is discharged again via the clean side of the filter element.
  • the flow resistance through the filter element increases inadmissibly high, which can lead to a pressure accumulation on the raw side of the filter element, which can destroy the filter element and possibly also other components of the filter, have such a filter Safety valve, which opens when a pressure limit is exceeded and connects the raw side directly to the clean side of the filter element.
  • Such safety valves are simply constructed for cost reasons and usually consist of a valve body inserted in a valve body which is acted upon on one side by a valve spring in its sealing position and on its other side by the pressure of the fluid to be cleaned on the raw side of the filter element. If the pressure exceeds the closing force of the valve spring, the valve body is moved to its open position and the fluid can flow off via the safety valve.
  • a valve is in US 5975115 disclosed.
  • the valve housing is usually made of aluminum in such known safety valves and is used as a press fit in a receiving opening in the housing of the filter, which is also usually made of aluminum. Due to the choice of the same material for the housing of the filter and the valve housing, both components have the same coefficient of thermal expansion, which stresses are excluded as a result of different thermal expansion. On the other hand, it is desirable, however, for reasons of cost and for reasons of simplified manufacturing filter housing made of plastic, but which are not suitable to absorb the forces occurring during a press fit.
  • the invention is based on the problem with simple means to provide a valve in a filter that is simple and can be firmly anchored in the filter housing with little effort.
  • the valve should be used in particular in plastic filter housing.
  • the valve housing of the valve according to the invention has a relation to the housing outer wall radially projecting and elastically deformable clamping collar which rises in addition to the radial component with an axial component on the housing outer wall.
  • This obliquely protruding clamping collar is formed in such a way that a tangent lying in a longitudinal valve plane to the outer collar edge with the valve longitudinal axis forms an angle not greater than 90 ° is.
  • valve housing can be inserted into a recess in the filter housing in such a way that the clamping collar is first radially compressed during insertion movement until it reaches the end seat of the valve due to its inherent elasticity, but in the final position can spread again ,
  • the valve is clamped, which can engage in the surrounding wall due to the spread causing elastic forces of the clamping collar.
  • the valve sits firmly in its seat, unintentional release is virtually eliminated due to the barb position of the clamping collar.
  • the valve housing can be inserted with its collar opposite axial end face first in the housing recess in the filter, wherein a force exerted by the clamping collar clamping force until shortly before reaching the final seat of the valve is exerted in the housing recess.
  • the clamping collar is, for example, at a 45 ° angle relative to the lateral surface of the valve housing.
  • the clamping collar is advantageously conically shaped, but may also be outwardly convex, whereby the insertion into the recess or recording in the filter housing is facilitated.
  • the clamping collar is preferably in the region of an axial end face of the valve housing and is formed integrally with the valve housing. Parallel to the clamping collar can be provided with a small axial distance to this offset a circumferential shoulder on the lateral surface of the housing, wherein the axial portion between the clamping collar and shoulder forms a groove for receiving a sealing ring. After insertion of the valve, the clamping collar is compressed radially, whereby the sealing ring inserted into the groove comes into contact with the inner wall of the valve receiving housing recess in the filter housing and can develop its sealing function. This is also supported by the fact that in an advantageous embodiment, the shoulder has a slightly smaller diameter than the unloaded clamping collar.
  • the valve housing including clamping collar, possibly also the shoulder, is advantageously made of sheet metal. This low-cost design allows the generation of a sufficiently high, radially outwardly directed clamping force, which is generated by the clamping collar.
  • thermal expansions in the housing wall play a lesser role than in the case of prior art designs with aluminum housings, so that more cost considerations can be taken into account when choosing the material for the valve housing.
  • a punching burr produced in the manufacture in the outer collar region can be used in a meaningful way for the hooking of the clamping collar upon reaching the seat in the encompassing wall of the housing recess.
  • valve 1 shown is expediently a safety valve which is inserted in a recess 3 in a filter housing 2, wherein the filter housing 2 is part of a filter, in particular a liquid filter for a motor vehicle, for example for cleaning fuel or gear or engine oil , Alternatively, however, is also an application in an air filter into consideration.
  • the valve housing 4 of the valve 1 has a smaller diameter than the valve receiving recess 3 in the filter housing 2, so that a force-free insertion of the valve into the recess is possible.
  • a valve body 5 is acted upon by a valve spring 6 in the direction of its closed position.
  • the valve body 5 can be acted upon axially from the outside by the fluid to be cleaned, wherein the valve body 5 is axially against the force of the valve spring acting on him 6 placed in its open position, if the pressure exerted by the fluid pressure exceeds the valve spring force.
  • the valve body 5 is adjacent to the open axial end face in the valve 1.
  • a radially and axially protruding clamping collar 7, which is part of the valve housing wall and with respect to the lateral surface of the valve housing 4 projects radially and axially.
  • This clamping collar 7 can elastically deform in the context of its material elasticity and is radially compressed during insertion of the valve 1 into the recess 3 in the filter housing 2, whereby a radially outwardly acting clamping force builds up, pressed with the outer clamping collar edge against the inner wall of the recess 3 becomes.
  • the valve 1 Due to the smaller diameter of the valve housing 4 relative to the recess 3, the valve 1 can be easily inserted into the recess until it reaches its final seat.
  • the required clamping force is applied by the clamping collar 7, which in the unloaded state has a larger diameter than the recess 3, wherein the clamping force extends linearly over the circumference of the clamping collar. If the material of the filter housing 2 is soft enough, the outer edge of the clamping collar 7 will cling into the inner wall of the recess due to the linear expansion of the clamping force, so that a form-fitting manner of a barb can be realized between clamping collar and filter housing.
  • a circumferential shoulder 8 is formed on the valve housing 4, which also protrudes radially relative to the lateral surface of the valve housing 4.
  • a circumferential groove is formed into which a sealing ring 9 is inserted, which is expediently designed as an O-ring and can bridge tolerances and different thermal expansions of housing and valve.
  • a valve longitudinal axis 10 includes a tangent 11 which is applied to the outer clamping collar edge and in a valve longitudinal axis enclosing the valve longitudinal plane, an angle which is in an angular range between 0 ° and 90 ° and, for example, when inserted valve, for example, about 30 ° is.
  • the angular range is between 10 ° and 45 ° and assumes a higher value than in the inserted state.
  • the valve housing 4 is constructed in two parts and has a lower portion on which the clamping collar 7 is formed, and on the lower portion patch valve cover 14, which is connected via a flanged edge to the lower portion.
  • the clamping collar 7 is opposite the housing outer wall 15 radially outward.
  • a rib 16 is arranged, which forms a stop for the valve when inserted into the recess. In the frontal region of the recess 3, this is extended over a chamfer 17, whereby the radially projecting clamping collar 7 can be compressed more easily and inserted better; Also, the sealing ring 9 can be inserted easily.
