Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure cover for openings on containers, in particular on motor vehicle radiators, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure lid of the type mentioned above, the arranged between the inner lid and the facing valve body sealing seat undergoes a defined relaxation when opening the vent flow path.
  • the ventilation pockets are provided on the side facing away from the flow passage between the valve body and the inner lid part of the O-ring.
  • a motor vehicle radiator has in a manner not shown an outer cover part provided with an actuating handle, on which a cover inner part 14 is held with a negative pressure / pressure valve assembly 15.
  • the cover inner part 14 protrudes in the direction of the radiator interior in the radiator neck.
  • An external dot-dash line indicated O-ring 16 seals the inner cover part 14 against thedeerstutzenwandung.
  • the overpressure portion of the valve assembly 15 is formed in two stages and serves to prevent emptying of the radiator in a first overpressure stage and to ensure safety against damage to the radiator system due to excessive overpressure in a second overpressure stage.
  • the overpressure part of the valve assembly 15 has inside the inner lid part 14 a first valve body 17 and a second valve body 18 and a third valve body 19.
  • the first valve body 17 is arranged in the direction of the lid outside above the second valve body 18, while the third valve body 19 coaxially inside of the second valve body 18 is received.
  • the first valve body 17 is designed in the manner of an upside-down valve disk, on the side facing the interior of the cooler, an annular seal 21 provided with an axially inwardly directed sealing surface is attached.
  • the first valve body 17 is acted upon by a closing pressure spring 22 indicated only by dash-dotted lines by a side facing away from the radiator interior, which at the other end is not shown in FIG Way indirectly supported on the inner lid part 14.
  • the closing pressure spring 22 By means of the closing pressure spring 22, the first valve body 17 is biased in the direction of the interior of the cooler.
  • About formed as a flat sealing ring seal 21 of the first valve body 17 sits on a first annular sealing seat 24 of the second valve body 18.
  • the one-piece second valve body 18 has a hood part 26 which is provided at its free end with the first sealing seat 24, and a concentric and hollow cylindrical receiving part 27 for the third valve body 19 pointing from the bottom 28 of the hood part 26 to the radiator interior.
  • the floor 28 between hood part 26 and receiving part 27 is provided on the outer peripheral side with a collar whose bottom 29 forms a second sealing seat relative to the inner lid part 14.
  • this second sealing seat 28 Associated with this second sealing seat 28 is an inner O-ring 31 which is received in an annular groove 30 which is arranged in a collar edge 32 of the inner cover part 14 so as to be open axially upwards (facing the bottom 28 of the second valve body 18) ,
  • the collar edge 32 is formed between an inner diameter larger hollow cylindrical upper portion of the inner lid portion 14 receiving the first valve body 17 and the hood portion 26 of the second valve body 18 and a lower inner portion of the inner lid portion 14 surrounding the receiving portion 27 of the second valve body 18.
  • At this lower portion of the lid inner part 14 is provided with an axial opening 33 for fluid communication with the container interior.
  • FIG. 1 shows a case of lifted off from the O-ring 31 second valve body 18 flow connection 40 from the container interior to the container outer side between the inner edge of the collar edge 32 and the lower inner lid portion and between the second sealing seat 28 and O-ring 31st FIG.
  • FIG. 2 also shows the position of the O-ring 31 in the annular groove 30 with closed vent path 40, ie in a position in which the second valve body 18 rests with its second sealing seat 28 on the O-ring 31 in the inner lid part 14 under the action of the closing compression spring 22 ,
  • the flow connection and the vent path 40 pressure-tight sealing closed position of the O-ring 31 is compressed by the arrangement of the ventilation pockets 35 and in the region of these ventilation pockets bulging radially undulating.
  • the first valve body 17 sits on the second valve body 18 (corresponding to FIG. 1 ) and the second valve body 18 other than in FIG. 1 represented on the inner cover part 14 and on the O-ring. 31. If a first limit value of the container internal pressure is exceeded, the first valve body 17 is raised against its closing pressure spring 22, since a connection between the container interior and the underside of the first valve body 17 past the tightly closing third valve body 19 and passes through the second valve body 18 therethrough. By opening a first flow connection, air can flow outward from the air cushion located above the liquid cooling medium, thereby compensating or reducing the overpressure.
  • the second valve body 18 remains sealingly pressed against the collar edge 32 of the inner lid part 14. If the so-called overpressure degrades again below the first limit value, the first valve body 17 again comes into sealing contact with the second valve body 18. If, however, the container internal pressure continues to increase during or after the escape of the air cushion, this leads to the liquid cooling medium the underside of the second and third valve body 18 and 19 passes, in the manner described in the above-mentioned prior art results in a back pressure, which leads to an axial movement of the third valve body 19 against its third compression spring 43; By this sealing movement of the third valve body 19, the first-mentioned flow connection is closed.
  • a reduction of the pressure leads to a return movement of the third valve body 19 and opening this connection path after the first-mentioned flow connection is closed again. If, on the other hand, the internal pressure of the container continues to increase, the second valve body 18 is lifted off the O-ring 31 of the inner lid part 14 against the first closing pressure spring 22 loaded on the first valve body 17, so that the so-called second flow connection 40 is opened and the said one very high pressure can be reduced (cf. FIG. 1 ).
  • FIG. 1 Further, a negative pressure valve body 57 within the first pressure relief valve body 17 shows.
  • vent pockets can also be smaller or larger, and that the ventilation pockets can also be arranged in an irregular arrangement along the circumference of the annular groove. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the ventilation pockets instead of the larger diameter inner circumference of the annular groove on the smaller diameter circumference of the annular groove radially inward.
  • the vent pockets are formed by tapered or stepped shaped slots.
