Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such compressors which compress gases by means of a piston moved by an electromechanical or other type of drive in a cylinder, are known, see for example GB 1 396 230 ,
- a driven via a crank or a connecting rod piston is set with a voltage applied to the inner wall of the cylinder seal in a reciprocating motion. This causes a compression of the gas on one side of the piston.
- Such devices exist in a variety of designs and sizes and are used in a variety of fields for use. Also drive mechanisms of different types and performance are used.
- the object of this invention is to propose a device of the type mentioned at the outset or a reciprocating compressor with a seal which has a friction and sealing behavior on the inner wall of the cylinder that is improved in comparison to previously known embodiments of conventional seals.
- the solution of this problem is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
- the idea on which the invention is based is that a number of cuts, preferably 6 to 12, in particular 8 to 10, are formed in the seal mounted annularly around the piston.
- This technically very simple and inexpensive to betechnikstelligende measure causes an improvement in the friction behavior and a better nestling of the seal on the cylinder inner wall. This results in an optimal sealing behavior between piston and cylinder and thus a highly efficient compression behavior.
- the life of the seal is increased due to improved elastic properties without compromising the compression behavior.
- the cuts, which are technically simple cause a significant improvement in the elasticity of the seal.
- the regular distribution of the cuts along the annular seal cause balanced and quiet running properties of the piston.
- a smooth movement and longevity of the piston and the seal in the cylinder are achieved by the structural features according to claim 2, 3 and / or 4.
- An advantageous and effective embodiment of the sealing mechanism is described in the features of claims 5 to 7.
- the storage and management of the seal is advantageously carried out according to claims 8, 9 and / or 10.
- a small defined quantity of gas can flow from the compression space or working space located in front of the piston into the area behind the piston Intake space or depressurized space pass through and thus the pressure acting on the piston from the compression side is reduced.
- a start-up relief can already start a relatively weak, for example, operated by a battery drive motor against a high back pressure, without that the allowable starting current is exceeded or various safety devices are triggered.
- the leaks have a small cross-sectional area compared with the cylinder cross-section or the stroke volume of the piston, whereby the leakage losses are minimized after the start-up.
- leaks allow design-related variations, depending mainly on the design and size of the piston or the entire compressor device. If the leaks are formed in the inner region of the support disk and of the guide disk, then they are arranged in alignment and permit the defined passage of gas through this feature.
- the piston is mounted in the cylinder substantially tight.
- a gas passage from the working space into the unpressurized space is essentially determined by the leakages.
- a gas leakage from the working space into the non-pressurized space which occurs due to leaks, in particular in the gasket, fades into the background in comparison with the gas passage through the leaks.
- an electromechanical drive 1 is fed in this case via a battery, not shown, which is connected via a cigarette lighter plug 9 and a cable 10 with a control console 12 and a further cable 13 to the drive or electric motor 1.
- a rocker switch 11 located on the console 12, the power supply can be switched on and off.
- the compression mechanism located in a drive chamber 3 or in the cylinder 2 is actuated by this drive 1 and the working fluid, in this case air, via a with a terminal 4 at the outlet 22 of the cylinder 2 attached pressure hose 5 via a pressure gauge 6 for pressure control and via an outlet 8 to the destination object, eg car tires, pressed.
- the working fluid in this case air
- a drive shaft of the drive 1 in the drive chamber 3 via a crank 23 with a push rod 14 is connected, which puts a piston 20 in the cylinder 2 in a reciprocating motion, that of the wall of the cylinder 2 and the piston 20th limited volume of the working space 26 before the piston 20 and the volume of the unpressurized space 24 behind the piston 20 is changed.
- a check valve 27 the compressed air from the outlet 22 is prevented from flowing back into the working space 26.

- the inner surface of the cylinder 2 facing surface of the seal 17 is concave outward, in particular with a circular curvature, curved to compensate for the slightly oscillating movement of the present case only via the push rod 14 and not a crosshead guided piston 20 and to ensure a permanent tight contact between the wall of the cylinder 2 and the seal 17.
- the seal 17 has, on its side facing the working space 26, a head area 40 that is narrow in cross-section and a foot area 41 that is wider in cross-section on the side facing away from the working space 26.
- a recess 43 is advantageously formed on the inner surface of the seal 17, in which a spring ring 18 is in particular fixed and preferably inserted snugly.
- This spring ring 18 is accordingly between the central part 28 of the guide disc 16 and the head portion 40 of the seal 17.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Kompressoren, die mittels eines von einem elektromechanischen oder andersartigen Antrieb in einem Zylinder bewegten Kolbens Gase verdichten, sind bekannt, siehe dazu zum Beispiel
Die Aufgabe dieser Erfindung ist es, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bzw. einen Kolbenkompressor mit einer Dichtung vorzuschlagen, die ein im Vergleich zu bisher bekannten Ausführungsformen üblicher Dichtungen verbessertes Reibungs- und Dichtungsverhalten an der Innenwand des Zylinders aufweist.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale erreicht.
Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Idee besteht darin, dass in der ringförmig um den Kolben gelagerten Dichtung eine Anzahl von Schnitten, vorzugsweise 6 bis 12, insbesondere 8 bis 10, ausgebildet ist. Diese technisch sehr einfach und preiswert zu bewerkstelligende Maßnahme, bewirkt eine Verbesserung des Reibungsverhaltens und ein besseres Anschmiegen der Dichtung an der Zylinderinnenwand. Demzufolge ergibt sich ein optimales Dichtungsverhalten zwischen Kolben und Zylinder und dadurch ein höchst effizientes Kompressionsverhalten. Ferner wird die Lebensdauer der Dichtung aufgrund verbesserter elastischer Eigenschaften erhöht ohne das Kompressionsverhalten zu beeinträchtigen.
Die Schnitte, die technisch einfach ausgebildet sind, bewirken eine entscheidende Verbesserung der Elastizität der Dichtung. Die regelmäßige Verteilung der Schnitte entlang der ringförmigen Dichtung bewirken ausgeglichene und ruhige Laufeigenschaften des Kolbens.The object of this invention is to propose a device of the type mentioned at the outset or a reciprocating compressor with a seal which has a friction and sealing behavior on the inner wall of the cylinder that is improved in comparison to previously known embodiments of conventional seals.
The solution of this problem is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
The idea on which the invention is based is that a number of cuts, preferably 6 to 12, in particular 8 to 10, are formed in the seal mounted annularly around the piston. This technically very simple and inexpensive to bewerkstelligende measure causes an improvement in the friction behavior and a better nestling of the seal on the cylinder inner wall. This results in an optimal sealing behavior between piston and cylinder and thus a highly efficient compression behavior. Furthermore, the life of the seal is increased due to improved elastic properties without compromising the compression behavior.
The cuts, which are technically simple, cause a significant improvement in the elasticity of the seal. The regular distribution of the cuts along the annular seal cause balanced and quiet running properties of the piston.
Eine ruhige Bewegung und Langlebigkeit des Kolbens und der Dichtung im Zylinder werden durch die konstruktiven Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 2, 3 und/oder 4 erreicht. Eine vorteilhafte und effektive Ausführung des Dichtungsmechanismus wird in den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 5 bis 7 beschrieben. Um bei der Kolbenrück- bzw. Ansaugbewegung einen Nachstrom von zu komprimierendem Gas in den kopfseitigen Arbeitsraum zu gewährleisten, erfolgt die Lagerung und Führung der Dichtung vorteilhafterweise gemäß den Ansprüchen 8, 9 und/oder 10.A smooth movement and longevity of the piston and the seal in the cylinder are achieved by the structural features according to
Durch Leckagen kann bei der Kompressionsbewegung des Kolbens eine geringe definierte Menge Gas von dem vor dem Kolben liegenden Kompressionsraum bzw. Arbeitsraum in den hinter dem Kolben liegenden Ansaugraum bzw. drucklosen Raum durchtreten und somit wird der von der Kompressionsseite her auf den Kolben einwirkende Druck gemindert. Durch eine derartige Anlaufentlastung kann bereits ein relativ schwacher, beispielsweise ein von einer Batterie betriebener, Antriebsmotor gegen einen hohen Gegendruck anlaufen, ohne dass dabei der zulässige Anlaufstrom überschritten wird oder diverse Sicherheitsvorrichtungen ausgelöst werden. Die Leckagen haben eine im Vergleich zum Zylinderquerschnitt bzw. zum Hubvolumen des Kolbens geringe Querschnittsfläche, womit die Leckverluste nach erfolgtem Anlauf minimal gehalten werden. Die Positionierung, Form und Ausbildungsart der Leckagen gestatten konstruktionsbedingte Variationsmöglichkeiten, abhängig vor allem von der Bauart und Größe des Kolbens bzw. der gesamten Kompressoreinrichtung. Sind die Leckagen im Innenbereich der Stützscheibe und der Führungsscheibe ausgebildet, so sind sie fluchtend angeordnet und ermöglichen durch dieses Merkmal den definierten Gasdurchtritt.Due to leaks, during the compression movement of the piston, a small defined quantity of gas can flow from the compression space or working space located in front of the piston into the area behind the piston Intake space or depressurized space pass through and thus the pressure acting on the piston from the compression side is reduced. By such a start-up relief can already start a relatively weak, for example, operated by a battery drive motor against a high back pressure, without that the allowable starting current is exceeded or various safety devices are triggered. The leaks have a small cross-sectional area compared with the cylinder cross-section or the stroke volume of the piston, whereby the leakage losses are minimized after the start-up. The positioning, shape and type of training of leaks allow design-related variations, depending mainly on the design and size of the piston or the entire compressor device. If the leaks are formed in the inner region of the support disk and of the guide disk, then they are arranged in alignment and permit the defined passage of gas through this feature.
Der Kolben ist im Zylinder im wesentlichen dicht gelagert. Ein Gasdurchtritt vom Arbeitsraum in den drucklosen Raum wird im wesentlichen durch die Leckagen bestimmt. Ein durch Undichtheiten, insbesondere in der Dichtung, auftretender Gasdurchtritt vom Arbeitsraum in den drucklosen Raum tritt gegenüber dem Gasdurchtritt durch die Leckagen in den Hintergrund.The piston is mounted in the cylinder substantially tight. A gas passage from the working space into the unpressurized space is essentially determined by the leakages. A gas leakage from the working space into the non-pressurized space which occurs due to leaks, in particular in the gasket, fades into the background in comparison with the gas passage through the leaks.

Gemäß
Der in einem Antriebsraum 3 bzw. im Zylinder 2 befindliche Kompressionsmechanismus wird über diesen Antrieb 1 betätigt und das Arbeitsmittel, in diesem Fall Luft, wird über einen mit einer Klemme 4 am Auslass 22 des Zylinders 2 befestigten Druckschlauch 5 über ein Manometer 6 zur Druckkontrolle und über einen Auslass 8 zum Destinationsobjekt, z.B. Autoreifen, gedrückt.The compression mechanism located in a
Wie
Der in Fig. 3 vergrößert dargestellte, im Zylinder 2 befindliche Kolben 20 umfasst eine an der Schubstange 14 fixierte tellerförmige Führungsscheibe 16 auf seiner Kopf- bzw. Arbeitsraumseite 26, eine ebenfalls an der Schubstange 14 fixierte und gegebenenfalls mit der Führungsscheibe 16 im Innenbereich fest verbundene tellerförmige Stützscheibe 15 auf seiner Rückseite bzw. seiner dem drucklosen Raum 24 zugekehrten Seite und eine an die Wand des Zylinders 2 anliegende ringförmige Dichtung 17. Die Führungsscheibe 16 ist in den Innenbereich, einen vorzugsweise parallel zur Wand des Zylinders 2 verlaufenden Mittelteil 28 und einen endständigen peripheren Flansch 25' gegliedert. Die Stützscheibe 15 gliedert sich ebenfalls in einen Innenbereich, einen Mittelteil und einen endständigen peripheren Flansch 25. Die Dichtung 17 befindet sich höhenmäßig zwischen den beiden peripheren Flanschen 25, 25' der Stützscheibe 15 und der Führungsscheibe 16 im Umfangsbereich des Kolbens 20. Zwischen der Dichtung 17, der Stützscheibe 15 und der Führungsscheibe 16 bzw. deren peripheren Flanschen 25, 25' befindet sich ein Freiraum 27.The enlarged shown in Fig. 3, located in the
Die der Innenwand des Zylinders 2 zugekehrte Fläche der Dichtung 17 ist konkav nach außen, insbesondere mit kreisförmiger Krümmung, gewölbt, um die leicht pendelnde Bewegung des im vorliegenden Fall nur über die Schubstange 14 und nicht über einen Kreuzkopf geführten Kolbens 20 auszugleichen bzw. zuzulassen und dabei einen ständigen dichten Kontakt zwischen der Wand des Zylinders 2 und der Dichtung 17 zu gewährleisten.The inner surface of the
Die Dichtung 17 weist an ihrer dem Arbeitsraum 26 zugewandten Seite einen im Querschnitt schmalen Kopfbereich 40 und an der dem Arbeitsraum 26 abgewandten Seite einen im Querschnitt breiteren Fußbereich 41 auf. In der Höhe des Kopfbereiches 40 ist an der Innenfläche der Dichtung 17 vorteilhafterweise eine Ausnehmung 43 ausgebildet, in die ein Federring 18 insbesondere fest und vorzugsweise mit Passsitz eingesetzt ist. Dieser Federring 18 liegt demgemäß zwischen dem Mittelteil 28 der Führungsscheibe 16 und dem Kopfbereich 40 der Dichtung 17. Der Federring 18 ist bei einer Hubbewegung des Kolbens 20 entlang bzw. vor diesem Mittelteil 28 der Führungsscheibe 16 auf- und ab bewegbar, wobei seine Aufwärtsbewegung bzw. sein Aufwärtsweg vom peripheren Flansch 25' der Führungsscheibe 16 begrenzt ist. Die Dichtung 17 wird mittels dieses Federringes 18 radial nach außen bzw. an die seitliche Wand des Zylinders 2 gedrückt und verhindert dort einen unerwünschten Gasdurchtritt. Anstelle des Federringes 18 kann auch ein federnder Spannring eingesetzt werden. In beiden Fällen ist jedoch ein Luftdurchtritt zwischen dem Freiraum 27 und dem Arbeitsraum 26 an dieser Stelle möglich.The
Die Höhe H der Dichtung 17, gemessen in Bewegungsrichtung des Kolbens 20, ist geringer als der zwischen den Innenseiten der peripheren Flanschen 25, 25' der Stützscheibe 15 und der Führungsscheibe 16 gemessene Abstand A. Dementsprechend ist die Bewegungsamplitude der Dichtung 17 auf die Differenz D zwischen der Höhe H der Dichtung 17 und dem Abstand A der peripheren Flansche 25, 25' der Stützscheibe 15 und der Führungsscheibe 16 beschränkt. Diese Ausführung bewirkt bei einer Ansaugbewegung, das heißt bei einer Bewegung des Kolbens 20 in Richtung der Kurbel 23, ein Abheben der Dichtung 17 von der Stützscheibe 15 um den Betrag D und ermöglicht damit ein Nachströmen von Gas über den Freiraum 27 in den kopfseitigen Arbeitsraum 26. Beim Kompressionshub wird die Dichtung 17 dicht an den peripheren Flansch 25 der Stützscheibe 15 gedrückt und ein Gasdurchtritt ist nur mehr durch die im folgenden beschriebenen definierten Leckagen 19 möglich. Die im Arbeitsraum 26 komprimierte Luft wird durch ein Rückschlagventil 27 aus dem Auslass 22 gedrückt und durch dieses Rückschlagventil 27 gleichzeitig am Zurückströmen in den Arbeitsraum 26 gehindert.The height H of the
Die Dichtung 17 besteht aus einem weitgehend hitzestabilen und/oder weitgehend abriebfesten Polymer, insbesondere mit guten Lauf- und Gleiteigenschaften, vorzugsweise Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE, Teflon) oder Polytetrafluorethylen-Compounds, und kann gegebenenfalls mit Kohle- oder Kohlenstofffasern und/oder -partikeln in einem Anteil von 10 bis zu 20 Gew-%, vorzugsweise von 15 bis 25 Gew-%, des PTFE- bzw. PTFE-Compound-Gewichts, verstärkt werden.The
Die Anzahl der Leckagen 19, ebenso wie ihre Form bzw. Querschnittsform richtet sich nach der Leistung der Antriebsmechanismus, der Höhe des Anfangsgegendrucks, der Größe und Bauart der Kompressoreinrichtung, der Form des Kolbens usw. Die Leckagen 19 können durch Bohrungen, Einfräsungen, Ausnehmungen, Einsickungen oder dgl. ausgebildet werden, wobei deren Formgebung auch durch die Herstellungsmethode bestimmt wird. Dementsprechend können die Leckagen 19 im Querschnitt rund, eckig oder auch unregelmäßig geformt ausbildet sein. Die gesamte Querschnittsfläche der zumindest einen Leckage 19 beträgt pro cm3 Hubvolumen des Kolbens 20 zwischen 0,005 und 0,1 mm2, vorzugsweise 0,01 und 0,06 mm2.The number of leaks 19, as well as their shape or cross-sectional shape depends on the performance of the drive mechanism, the amount of the initial back pressure, the size and design of the compressor device, the shape of the piston, etc. The leaks 19 can through holes, milled recesses, Infiltrations or the like. Be formed, the shape of which is also determined by the production method. Accordingly, the leaks 19 may be formed in cross-section round, square or irregular shaped.
