Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capacitor and a collecting container of a Condenser, in particular for air conditioning, in particular for motor vehicles, and a closure for such a collection container.
  • the become known from DE-A 100 39 260 condenser with reservoir has a detachable, axially displaceable in the collecting container, by a retaining ring axially fixed sealing plug.
  • the circlip is in an annular groove, which is in the inner wall of the collection container is cut.
  • the collection container is an extruded tube formed with a wall thickness, on the one hand the pressure of the refrigerant inside the collecting container and on the other hand a sufficient large wall thickness for cutting the ring groove for the retaining ring offers.
  • the remaining Pipe wall thickness in the area of the annular groove for the safety ring the critical Range that determines the dimensioning of the wall thickness of the collection container.
  • the wall thickness of the Collecting container in the area outside the annular groove larger than required is. This results in an increased weight for the entire condenser, increased costs and impairment of the soldering process due to mass accumulation.
  • the annular groove for receiving the retaining ring or a thread in a thickened region of the pipe end is arranged, which is considerably thicker than the rest of the pipe wall and therefore enough wall thickness for cutting or molding the Ring groove or a thread provides.
  • the annular groove be formed as a circumferential bead in the pipe wall.
  • the thickened Area can thus be part of the pipe end (in one piece) or as an additional Part attached to or at the pipe end.
  • the pipe wall thickness of the Collecting container can thus alone on the internal pressure in the collection container designed, i. be reduced, which at the same time a lower weight of the capacitor and lower manufacturing costs.
  • the soldering process is improved because lower masses to heat are.
  • the thickened area designed as an annular approach or attachment, with the pipe end cohesively or mechanically or positively connected.
  • the annular attachment soldered to the pipe end of the collector. This can be advantageous done with the soldering of the entire capacitor. There are no additional ones Assembly times up. Also, the approach or essay can through Welding or other positive connection can be attached.
  • the annular attachment two interconnected by a shoulder, cylindrical inner surfaces on, wherein the shoulder rests on the end face of the pipe end.
  • the annular Attachment can thus easily attached to the pipe end and there be positioned for the soldering process.
  • the invention is in the inner surface of the annular attachment, which on the outer surface of the pipe end is present, an annular groove for receiving solder material provided.
  • soldering process can be simplified because at this point the connection from ring-shaped attachment and pipe end the Lot already at the correct Place is dumped. This will make a tight and firm soldering of the two Parts reached.
  • the solder joint is thus able, the axial thrust, the from the internal pressure and the cross-sectional area of the sealing plug results and is supported on the retaining ring, to the pipe wall transfer.
  • Fig. 1 shows a pipe end 1 of a not fully shown collecting container 2, the part of a likewise not shown a capacitor Automotive air conditioning is.
  • the collector 2 consists mainly of one welded tube, which has a relatively small wall thickness S1 and terminates with a pipe end 1.
  • S1 wall thickness
  • S2 wall thickness
  • the article 3 has a wall thickness S2, which is considerably larger than the wall thickness S1 of the pipe end 1 is, preferably about three times, d. H. S2 3S1.
  • the article 3 has a cylindrical inner surface 4 of Diameter Di and another cylindrical inner surface 5 of diameter On there, which are connected via a paragraph 6 with each other.
  • the inner surface are aligned 4 with the inner wall 1a and the cylindrical inner surface 5 with the outer wall 1b of the pipe end 1.
  • a Ring groove 7 cut which is the inclusion of a retaining ring. 8 serves.
  • the other cylindrical inner surface 5 is a further annular groove. 9 incorporated, the recording of solder material, z. B. a solder wire serves.
  • the pipe end 1 is connected by an axially displaceable sealing plug 10 sealed and sealed, wherein the acted upon by the internal pressure Sealing plug held by the retaining ring 9, d. H. axial is fixed.
  • the seal is made by not shown O-rings, which in Ring grooves 11, 12 are inserted, in the region of the pipe wall 1a.
  • the wall thickness S2 of the annular attachment 3 about 3 times as thick as the wall thickness S1 of the pipe end 1. Between the Slot bottom of the annular groove 7 and the outer diameter of the annular attachment 3 remains thus still a residual wall thickness S3, at least the Pipe wall thickness S1 corresponds.
  • the remaining residual cross section of the essay 3 is thus sufficiently dimensioned to those resulting from the internal pressure Compress forces in the direction of the pipe axis 1c record and to be transferred to the pipe end 1 via the solder joint.
  • the wall thickness S1 of the pipe end 1 can thus be chosen considerably lower, since the critical cross section in the area of the retaining ring or the associated Ring groove has been laid in the thick-walled part 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 1, wherein for same parts same reference numerals or the same final digits used become.
  • an annular attachment 23 with a shoulder 26 attached, having an inner surface 24, corresponding to the inner diameter Di of the pipe end 21, and another inner surface 25, accordingly the pipe outside diameter Da, has.
  • the essay 23 is in Area of the surface 25 with the tube 21 soldered.
  • an annular groove 27 is arranged for receiving a retaining ring 28. This annular groove 27 is thus on the one hand from the article 23 and on the other the end face of the pipe end 21 is formed.
  • essay 23 does not have an annular groove, but only a paragraph 27 are incorporated into the part 23, which reduces the manufacturing costs.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further modification of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 with an annular attachment 33, with a pipe end 31 in the area a cylindrical surface 35 and a shoulder 36 is soldered.
  • a cylindrical inner surface 34 in the upper portion an annular groove 37 is incorporated, which receives a locking ring 38.
  • On the locking ring 38 is supported by the sealing plug 10, which is for sealing two O-rings 13, 14 carries.
  • the axial distance of the annular groove 37 from Paragraph 36 is sized so that the O-rings 13, 14 on the inner surface 34th of the annular attachment 33 (and not, as in the embodiment 1 and 2, on the inner surface of the pipe end 1a and 21a). This results in the advantage that the inner surface 31 a of the pipe end 31 does not need to be processed, but only that of the annular attachment 33, which causes lower production costs.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of the invention with an annular Attachment 43, which is screwed to a pipe end 41 via a thread 15 is.
  • the attachment 43 also has an inner surface 44 and a Inner surface 45, which are connected to each other via a shoulder 46, wherein in the region of paragraph 46, an annular groove 47 for receiving a retaining ring 48 is arranged.
  • the Closing stopper 10 which via the O-rings 13, 14 opposite the inner wall 41a of the pipe end 41 is sealed.
  • the parts 43 and 41 are not with each other soldered, but only through the thread 15 or a similar connection mechanically interconnected. A seal like that Soldering is not required, as the seal already over the O-rings 13, 14 takes place.
