Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing ring for particular provided on a flange sealing screws according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a sealing ring which can be attached to a screw or a screw plug and has an annular sealing body is already based on the DE 39 03 780 known.
  • This sealing ring has a sealing body which has metallic inserts in pocket-shaped recesses on its radially outer peripheral surface, which are intended to limit the squeezing of the sealing ring when the sealing ring lying between the underside of a screw and a flange surface when tightening the screw plug with an axial acting compressive force is applied.
  • the arrangement of the deposits on the outer circumference of the sealing body is chosen so that the serving as a support body deposits are surrounded both on its upper side and on its underside of the elastomeric material of the sealing body.
  • the known sealing body is squeezed due to the undefined situation when tightening the screw plug, so that the situation may occur that the known sealing ring its original function, namely to produce a sealing surface, no longer able to exercise and also there is a risk that the under the locking screw when tightening the locking screw co-rotating known sealing ring from its formerly defined position between the screw plug and the flange surface and an uncontrolled and no longer centered to the screw shaft position assumes, which in turn increases the risk of leakage in the region of the sealing surface of the known sealing ring.
  • a sealing ring which has an annular groove with a capacity which corresponds to the volume of a sealing ring attached to the sealing body and allows deformation of the sealing body, so that the sealing body can be received in the annular groove.
  • This is to ensure that the sealing body can be pressed when screwing between a screw head and a support in the annular groove, which is flanked radially on both sides of groove flanks and thus the seal body should be protected from damage.
  • the known sealing ring on a base body made of a plastic material, on which at the top and the bottom of an annular groove is formed, in each of which a sealing body can be attached.
  • a gasket which has an annular radially inner support element, on which a sealing element can be formed radially outwardly, specifically on an outer section extending radially outwardly from the support element.
  • the sealing element has two sealing lips to be received in annular grooves of the flange surfaces to be sealed and may have a mounting projection radially outwardly.
  • a seal assembly for static sealing a fluid carrying connection between two interconnected devices with an elastomeric seal enclosing the fluid conducting connection has become known.
  • the seal has a web which can be buttoned into a peripheral groove of a plate and can be preassembled on a first device so that a uniform pressure is achieved during assembly of the second device.
  • a sealing ring has become known with a rigid support element on which sealing elements are arranged on both sides and the support element of the recording of compressive forces in the screwing of a first component in the form of a valve body against a second component in the form of a tap and a third component in the mold a shoulder serves.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop the known sealing ring such that a radial deflection of the Sealing elements bearing, attached to the support element elastomer body is avoided in a Axialdruckbeetzschung of the elastomeric body.
  • the invention now provides a sealing ring with an at least partially ring-shaped substantially rigid support member having support surfaces and radially on both sides adjacent to the support surfaces sealing elements, and the support element radially outwardly equiangularly arranged with each other unconnected surface segments with a cross-sectionally U-shaped elastomer body with sealing elements has.
  • the sealing ring provided according to the invention When the sealing ring provided according to the invention is brought into the region between a screw plug and a flange surface, then it comes when tightening the screw plug with its largely rigid support member with the flange associated underside of the stop collar of the screw plug and this opposite Verschraubungs resonance the flange in contact so that between the two support surfaces of the support member and the flange and the stop collar of the screw plug none of the sealing elements forming material is present, so for example no elastomeric material is present, which would tend to tighten the screw plug to uncontrolled radial displacement movement, so that is a defined position of the sealing ring between the stop collar of the screw plug and the screwing surface is given to the flange.
  • the arrangement of the sealing elements on the sealing ring is chosen so that they seal a gap or a gap surface in the flange radially on both sides against the environment of the gap or the gap surface. If, for example, the sealing ring rests on the flange surface in such a way that the supporting surface of the supporting element rests against the gap surface of the flange surface, then the sealing ring with its sealing elements arranged radially on both sides of this gap surface can seal the fluid emerging from the gap surface against the environment on both sides, so that the fluid, which may be, for example, motor oil, on the one hand not in the outward direction of the screw plug can step away and on the other hand not radially inwardly directed towards the shaft of the screw plug can occur and there so not with a in the region of the shaft the plug screw can mix existing second fluid.
  • the fluid which may be, for example, motor oil
  • the drain plug for example, the drain plug for the coolant of an internal combustion engine, so that a small amount of coolant at the threads of the engine block or the screw plug can pass, but not due to the radially inner sealing element of the sealing ring with the engine oil from the gap surface of the flange can mix.
  • the arrangement of the sealing elements on the sealing ring is provided so that they stand in the unloaded state in the axial direction of the support element on the support surfaces. It means in other words that when placing the sealing ring on the screw plug or the Verschraubungs phase the flange face the sealing elements come into contact with the respective surfaces and are loaded when tightening the screw plug with an axial force, which leads to a slight widening of the sealing elements, but not to an uncontrolled squeezing of the sealing elements, since the stronger tightening of the screw plug, the support surfaces of the support member of the sealing ring come into contact with the flange and the stop collar of the screw plug and thus a defined position of the sealing ring between the stop collar and the flange surface is maintained.
  • the sealing elements can be molded according to the invention to an elastomeric body which is connected to the support member on both sides of the gap surface so that the support surfaces are free of the elastomeric body.
  • the support member is an annular body formed with radially outwardly angularly arranged surface segments, which serve to connect the elastomeric body with at least one sealing element, so that the sealing elements having elastomeric body can be molded onto the annular support member and finds sufficient bonding surface on the surface segments ,
  • the surface segments of the support element may be surrounded by a U-shaped elastomer body having a respective sealing element on both legs.
  • the annular support member may also have an elastomeric body directed radially inwards, which has a sealing element towards the flange surface and the locking screw, and extends into the region of the shank of the locking screw.
  • the elastomer element located radially inwardly on the support element due to its extent, serves as centering for the sealing ring up to the region of the shank of the closure screw, preferably without threads.
  • the at least partially ring-shaped support member may have both radially outwardly and radially inwardly directed equiangularly arranged surface segments for connection of an elastomeric body with at least one sealing element, so that according to a development of the invention, the radially outer surface segments of the support element of a U-shaped in cross-section Elastomer body are surrounded, each having a sealing element on both legs of the U-shaped cross-section.
  • the support member may according to the invention directed radially inward extending into the region of the screw shaft and bear for centering on this and the flange and the locking screw out each have a sealing element, so that due to the centering of the sealing ring on the screw shaft and the rest the support member on the support surfaces on both the stop collar of the screw and on the flange a defined position of the sealing ring between the flange and locking screw when tightening the locking screw is maintained.
  • the support member may be formed of a metallic material, such as steel or aluminum, or of a plastic material.
  • the sealing elements can be semicircular in cross-section or, for example, in the form of a sealing lip and the sealing ring provided according to the invention can be provided, for example, to be arranged on a screw plug on a flange surface of an engine block, which in the area between the sealing elements a gap surface, for example due to the production of the engine block of different materials, and forms a separation surface or contact line between these two different materials and along which there may be a creeping of engine oil along the line of contact.
  • FIG. 1 The drawing shows a sectional view of a sealing ring 1 according to a first embodiment, as it is arranged between a screw plug 2 and a flange 3.
  • a screw plug 2 which serves as a drain plug for the discharge of the coolant from an engine block, which is formed of two different materials, namely in the range of the reference numeral 4, for example, magnesium or a magnesium alloy and in the region of the reference numeral 5 of, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • the reference numeral 6 denotes a contact line between the two different materials, along which it can come to creep of engine oil from the engine block, not shown.
  • Reference numeral 7 designates a coolant discharge passage from the engine block, which serves to discharge the coolant from the engine block during, for example, service work.
  • the closure screw 2 is by means of a thread 8 in the coolant channel. 7 fixed, along which - as a thread does not seal - can come out of small amounts of coolant. If a sealing element is now provided only in the radially outside of the contact surface forming a circumferential gap surface 6, it can lead to uncontrolled mixing of coolant and engine oil, which should be avoided.
  • the sealing ring 1 according to the invention is provided, which in the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment has an annular support member 9 and with support surfaces 10 and 11 on the stop collar 12 of the screw plug 2 and the flange 3 abuts.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing of the sealing ring 1 has this in the radially outer region of the element 9 a cross-sectionally U-shaped sealing body 13, which has a semicircular sealing element 14 on both legs, which against both the stop collar 12 of the screw plug 2 and against the flange surface 3 seals.
  • a second sealing body 15 is integrally formed in this embodiment in the radially inner region with two sealing elements 16 which seal against the stop collar 12 and the flange 3.
  • the sealing body 16 extends radially inwardly into the region 17 of the formed without threads screw shank 18 to provide a centering for the sealing ring 1.
  • FIG. 2 The drawing shows a opposite to the in Fig. 1
  • the support element 9 of the sealing ring 19 after Fig. 2 a head 20 of the locking screw 2 cross-collar 21 and thus serves to center the sealing ring 19 on the screw head 20th
  • Fig. 2 illustrated sealing ring 19 a on the collar 21st formed sealing body 22 which extends in the radially inner region to the support surface 24 and has a sealing element 23 above the flange 3.
  • FIG. 3 The drawing shows a sealing ring 27 according to a second embodiment.
  • the support member 9 in the region of the support surfaces 10, 11 is annular and has directed radially inward and directed radially outwardly each have a web 28, so that the support member 9 in cross-section also as double T-shaped can be called.
  • the support element 9 is surrounded by a U-shaped sealing body 29 with two sealing elements 30 and at its radially inwardly directed region, the support member each have a sealing body 31 with associated sealing element 32.
  • the support member 9 extends at the in Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment of the sealing ring 27 into the region 17 of the screw shaft 18 and thus serves to center the sealing ring 27th
  • FIG. 4 The drawing shows a top view of a support element 9, as in the in Fig. 1 the drawing shown sealing ring 1 can be used.
  • the support element 9 has at its outer circumference arranged at equal angles connecting surfaces 33 for receiving an elastomeric body, which a sealing body 13 after Fig. 1 the drawing forms and at its top and bottom each have a sealing element 14.
  • connection surfaces 33 have a lower height compared to the height H of the support member 9, so that they can be completely encapsulated in the production of the sealing ring 1 by an elastomer material and thus a good surface connection of the elastomer material for forming the sealing body 13th can be achieved on the support element 9.
  • sealing ring 1 is characterized by the fact that it does not move compared to the above-described known sealing ring when tightening the screw plug 2 against the flange 3 and a safe investment of the sealing ring 1 both on the run-up collar of the screw 2 and the flange 3 is reached.
  • the sealing ring 2 according to the invention makes it possible to separate different liquid media present in the region of the sealing ring, so that mixing of a medium emerging from a contact line in the region of the flange surface with the other liquid medium present in the region of the screw shank is avoided.
  • the sealing ring according to the invention seals the two different media against the respective environment.
