Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen selbstdichtenden Behälter, insbesondere eine Ölwanne.The invention relates to a self-sealing container, in particular an oil pan.

Behälter für Gase oder Flüssigkeiten mit oder ohne Innendruck, beispielsweise Ölwannen für Verbrennungsmotoren, werden im Allgemeinen nach verschiedenen bekannten Herstellungsverfahren wie Druckguss, Sandformguss oder Tiefziehen aus Metallen wie Aluminium, Gusseisen, Stahlguss oder Walzstahl hergestellt. In jüngerer Zeit wurde eine Ölwanne aus Kunststoff entwickelt, die beispielsweise in Lastkraftwagen von Daimler-Chrysler eingesetzt wird. Diese Ölwanne ist aus einem glasfaserverstärkten, temperaturfesten Polyamid-Kunststoff gefertigt und weist gegenüber herkömmlichen Ölwannen ein geringeres Gewicht, verbesserte Schallemissionen und verbesserte Integration von Anbauteilen auf.Containers for gases or liquids with or without internal pressure, for example oil sumps for internal combustion engines, are generally produced by various known production methods such as die casting, sand casting or deep drawing of metals such as aluminum, cast iron, cast steel or rolled steel. More recently, an oil sump made of plastic has been developed, which is used for example in trucks of DaimlerChrysler. This oil sump is made of a glass fiber reinforced, temperature-resistant polyamide plastic and has compared to conventional oil pans, a lower weight, improved sound emissions and improved integration of attachments.

Nachteilig an allen bisher bekannten Behältern der eingangs beschriebenen Art ist die relative Empfindlichkeit gegen äußere Krafteinwirkungen, die zum Auslaufen des im Behälter enthaltenen Stoffs und dadurch insbesondere bei umwelt- oder gesundheitsschädlichen Stoffen zu bedrohlichen Situationen führen können, wenn der Behälter beschädigt wird.A disadvantage of all previously known containers of the type described above, the relative sensitivity to external forces, which can lead to the leakage of the substance contained in the container and thus in particular environmentally or harmful substances to threatening situations when the container is damaged.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher darin, einen Behälter, insbesondere eine Ölwanne anzugeben, der unempfindlich gegen Beschädigungen ist, so dass diese nicht zum Auslaufen von in dem Behälter gespeicherten Flüssigkeiten oder Gasen führen.The object of the invention is to provide a container, in particular an oil pan, which is insensitive to damage, so that they are not cause leakage of liquids or gases stored in the container.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.According to the invention the object is achieved by a container having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter, insbesondere eine Ölwanne, weist eine innere und eine äußere Wandung auf, wobei die innere Wandung zur äußeren Wandung beabstandet angeordnet ist, so dass zwischen der inneren Wandung und der äußeren Wandung ein Zwischenraum verbleibt, der mit einem Füllmaterial gefüllt ist, das Leckstellen der inneren oder/und der äußeren Wandung selbsttätig verschließt.The container according to the invention, in particular an oil sump, has an inner and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall is arranged spaced from the outer wall, so that a gap is left between the inner wall and the outer wall, which is filled with a filling material Leakage of the inner and / or the outer wall closes automatically.

Ein solcher Behälter mit einstückig gefertigten inneren und äußeren Wandungen ist aus US 2 601 525 bekannt.Such a container with integrally manufactured inner and outer walls is made US 2 601 525 known.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Füllmaterial lufthärtend.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the filler is air-curing.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass bei einer Beschädigung der äußeren Wandung des Behälters die geschädigte Stelle dadurch verschlossen wird, dass das Füllmaterial mit der Außenluft in Berührung kommt und dadurch aushärtet. Dadurch entsteht ein Selbstheilungseffekt, der das Auslaufen gespeicherter Gase oder Flüssigkeiten wirksam verhindert.This ensures that in case of damage to the outer wall of the container, the damaged area is closed by the fact that the filler material comes into contact with the outside air and thereby hardens. This creates a self-healing effect that effectively prevents leakage of stored gases or liquids.

Als besonders günstig zu verwendende Füllmaterialien für diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung haben sich bei Versuchen thermoplastische Polymere, Polyurethan, Acryl, Silikon, Latex und Epoxidharz erwiesen.Thermoplastic polymers, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, latex and epoxy resin have proved to be particularly suitable fillers for this embodiment of the invention.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Füllmaterial ein unter Vorspannung im Zwischenraum angeordnetes dauerelastisches Polymer.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the filler is a biased in the space permanently elastic polymer.

Hierbei wird bei einer Beschädigung der äußeren und/oder der inneren Wandung des Behälters die geschädigte Stelle dadurch verschlossen, dass das Füllmaterial die beschädigte Stelle aufgrund seiner elastischen Eigenschaften und der Vorspannung schließt. Auch bei dieser Lösung wird das Auslaufen gespeicherter Gase oder Flüssigkeiten wirksam verhindert.In this case, in the event of damage to the outer and / or the inner wall of the container, the damaged area is closed by the filling material closing the damaged area due to its elastic properties and the prestressing. Even with this solution, the leakage of stored gases or liquids is effectively prevented.

Als besonders günstig zu verwendende Füllmaterialien für diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung haben sich bei Versuchen Acryl, Silikon und Latex erwiesen.Acrylic, silicone and latex have proven to be particularly suitable fillers for this embodiment of the invention.

Besonders vorteilhaft sind die innere Wandung oder/und die äußere Wandung aus einem Polymer gefertigt.Particularly advantageously, the inner wall and / or the outer wall are made of a polymer.

Dadurch sind die erfindungsgemäßen Behälter wesentlich leichter als herkömmliche Metallbehälter, weisen ein günstigeres akustisches Verhalten auf und sind korrosionsgeschützt.As a result, the containers according to the invention are much lighter than conventional metal containers, have a more favorable acoustic behavior and are protected against corrosion.

Besonders vorteilhaft sind die innere Wandung und die äußere Wandung einstückig gefertigt, d.h. ein einziges Bauteil bildet sowohl die innere wie auch die äußere Wandung. Auf diese Weise kann der Behälter besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Darüber hinaus werden Probleme bei der Abdichtung des durch die innere und die äußere Wandung gebildeten Hohlraums hinsichtlich dessen Abdichtung zur Verhinderung des Auslaufens oder Aushärtens des Füllmaterials vermieden.Particularly advantageously, the inner wall and the outer wall are made in one piece, ie, a single component forms both the inner and the outer wall. In this way, the container can be made particularly inexpensive. In addition, problems in sealing the cavity formed by the inner and outer walls with respect to sealing to prevent leakage or hardening of the filling material are avoided.

Für Behälter aus thermoplastischen Materialien hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die innere Wandung und die äußere Wandung durch Blasformen und/oder durch Gasinnendruck gefertigt sind.For containers made of thermoplastic materials, it has proven to be advantageous if the inner wall and the outer wall are made by blow molding and / or by internal gas pressure.

Bei diesem Verfahren lassen sich sehr geringe Wandstärken realisieren, wodurch das Gewicht und damit die Kosten des Behälters nochmals verringert werden können.In this method, very small wall thicknesses can be realized, whereby the weight and thus the cost of the container can be further reduced.

Für Behälter mit einem unter Vorspannung stehenden Füllmaterial ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die innere Wandung und die äußere Wandung durch Spritzgießen gefertigt sind.For containers with a biased filling material, it is particularly advantageous if the inner wall and the outer wall are made by injection molding.

Durch Spritzgießen hergestellte Behälter weisen eine größere Festigkeit auf und sind daher in der Lage, die zur Erzeugung einer Vorspannung nötigen Kräfte aufzunehmen.Injection molded containers have greater strength and are therefore able to absorb the forces necessary to produce a bias.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter ist in allen Bereichen einsetzbar, wo Flüssigkeiten oder Gase aufbewahrt oder zwischengespeichert werden und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Behälters besteht. Der Behälter ist leicht, kostengünstig herstellbar und recyclebar. Aufgrund der guten Wärmedämmeigenschaften der verwendeten Materialien ist er geeignet, die Temperatur des enthaltenen Stoffes über lange Zeit aufrechtzuerhalten. Dies wirkt sich insbesondere bei Ölwannen positiv aus, da hierdurch die Häufigkeit von Kaltstarts verringert wird und auf diese Weise Kraftstoff eingespart und der Verschleiß verringert wird.The container according to the invention can be used in all areas where liquids or gases are stored or cached and there is a risk of damage to the container. The container is lightweight, inexpensive to produce and recyclable. Due to the good thermal insulation properties of the materials used, it is suitable to maintain the temperature of the material contained over a long time. This has a positive effect particularly on oil pans, as this reduces the frequency of cold starts and thus saves fuel and reduces wear.

Ein weiterer Vorteil erfindungsgemäßer Ölwannen ist die sich im Havariefall ergebende Möglichkeit eines Notlaufbetriebs, um das Fahrzeug noch sicher in die nächste Werkstatt zu bringen, ohne die Umwelt durch auslaufendes Öl zu verschmutzen.A further advantage of oil pans according to the invention is the possibility of an emergency operation resulting in the event of an accident in order to bring the vehicle safely to the next workshop without polluting the environment by leaking oil.

In besonders vielen Anwendungsfällen ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Behälter einsetzbar, der einseitig offen ist und an seinem die Öffnung umgebenden Rand einen umlaufenden Flansch zur Verbindung mit einem anderen Bauteil aufweist.In particularly many applications, an inventive container can be used, which is open on one side and at its edge surrounding the opening has a circumferential flange for connection to another component.

Beispiele für derartige Anwendungsfälle sind Ölwannen für Verbrennungsmotoren und Wassertanks in Heizkreisläufen.Examples of such applications are oil pans for internal combustion engines and water tanks in heating circuits.

Vorzugsweise ist im Flansch mindestens ein Metallinsert vorgesehen.Preferably, at least one metal insert is provided in the flange.

Diese Ausführungsform ist insbesondere bei Behältern von Vorteil, die aus Polymerwerkstoffen gefertigt sind, da die Festigkeit, die Abriebfestigkeit, die Leitfähigkeit und die Formgenauigkeit solcher Werkstoffe in einigen Fällen zur Funktionserfüllung des Flanschs nicht ausreichen.This embodiment is particularly advantageous in containers made of polymeric materials because the strength, abrasion resistance, conductivity and dimensional accuracy of such materials are in some cases not sufficient to functionally fill the flange.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Metallinsert eine hohlzylindrische Grundform mit einem an jedem Ende vergrößerten Außendurchmesser auf.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the metal insert has a hollow cylindrical basic shape with an enlarged outer diameter at each end.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass sich die Metallinserts aus dem Flansch aufgrund der Hinterschneidungen und den Formschluss zwischen dem Flansch und den Metallinserts nicht lösen und herausfallen können. Außerdem wird durch die vergrößerten Außendurchmesser eine feste Auflage für Befestigungselemente geschaffen.This ensures that the metal inserts from the flange can not come loose and fall out due to the undercuts and the positive connection between the flange and the metal inserts. It also gets through the enlarged outer diameter created a solid support for fasteners.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt die einzige Figur einen als Ölwanne für einen Verbrennungsmotor ausgeführten, erfindungsgemäßen Behälter.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. The single figure shows a designed as an oil pan for an internal combustion engine, inventive container.

Die Ölwanne ist ein einseitig offener, zur Aufnahme eines Mineralöls und zur Anbringung an einem Motorblock eines Verbrennungsmotors vorgesehener erfindungsgemäßer Behälter.The oil sump is a container open on one side and intended to hold a mineral oil and to be attached to an engine block of an internal combustion engine.

Der Behälter weist eine innere Wandung 1 und eine äußere Wandung 2 auf, die zueinander beabstandet angeordnet sind, so dass zwischen ihnen ein Zwischenraum 3 zur Aufnahme eines Füllmaterials, das Leckstellen der inneren Wandung 1 oder/und der äußeren Wandung 2 selbsttätig verschließt.The container has an inner wall 1 and an outer wall 2, which are arranged spaced from each other, so that between them a gap 3 for receiving a filling material, the leaks of the inner wall 1 and / or the outer wall 2 closes automatically.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Zwischenraum 3 mit einem lufthärtenden Stoff, nämlich Silikon, gefüllt. Wenn eine Leckstelle in der inneren Wandung 1 oder/und der äußeren Wandung 2 auftritt, kommt das im Zwischenraum 3 befindliche Füllmaterial mit Luft in Berührung und härtet aus. Dadurch kann kein Mineralöl aus dem Behälter austreten.In the exemplary embodiment, the intermediate space 3 is filled with an air-hardening substance, namely silicone. When a leak occurs in the inner wall 1 or / and the outer wall 2, the filling material located in the gap 3 comes in contact with air and cures. As a result, no mineral oil can escape from the container.

Der Behälter weist an seinem die Öffnung umgebenden Rand einen umlaufenden Flansch 4 auf, der der Verbindung der Ölwanne mit dem Motorblock eines Verbrennungsmotors dient. Die Verbindung wird dabei in an sich bekannter Weise durch Verbindungselemente wie Schrauben hergestellt.The container has at its edge surrounding the opening a peripheral flange 4, which serves to connect the oil pan to the engine block of an internal combustion engine. The connection is made in a conventional manner by fasteners such as screws.

Die zur Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente benötigten Bohrungen im Flansch sind durch Metallinserts 5 realisiert, die eine hohlzylindrische Grundform mit einem an jedem Ende vergrößerten Außendurchmesser aufweisen. Hierdurch wird einerseits eine feste Auflage für die Schraubenköpfe geschaffen, um die Vorspannkraft der Schraube sicher zu übertragen und Abrieb des umgebenden Polymers zu vermeiden, andererseits wird ein Lösen und Herausfallen der Metallinserts 5 aus dem Flansch 4 durch die von den vergrößerten Außendurchmessern geschaffenen Hinterschneidungen und den damit verbundenen Formschluss zwischen dem Flansch 4 und den Metallinserts 5 verhindert.The bores in the flange required for receiving the connecting elements are realized by metal inserts 5, which have a hollow cylindrical basic shape with an enlarged outer diameter at each end. As a result, on the one hand, a firm support for the screw heads created to safely transfer the biasing force of the screw and to avoid abrasion of the surrounding polymer, on the other hand, a release and falling out of the metal inserts 5 from the flange 4 by the created by the enlarged outer diameters undercuts and the associated positive engagement between the flange 4 and the metal inserts 5 prevented.

Die innere Wandung 1, die äußere Wandung 2 und der Flansch 4 sind einstückig im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt. Das für den Behälter, d.h. die innere Wandung 1, die äußere Wandung 2 und den Flansch 4, verwendete Material ist ein thermoplastisches, spritzgießfähiges Polymer wie beispielsweise PE-HD. Die Metallinserts 5 werden bei der Herstellung in die Spritzgussform eingelegt und mit dem Polymer umspritzt. Das Füllmaterial wird in demselben Verfahren unmittelbar in den Zwischenraum 3 eingespritzt.The inner wall 1, the outer wall 2 and the flange 4 are integrally made by injection molding. The material used for the container, ie the inner wall 1, the outer wall 2 and the flange 4, is a thermoplastic, injection-moldable polymer such as PE-HD. The metal inserts 5 are inserted in the production in the injection mold and overmoulded with the polymer. The filler material is injected directly into the gap 3 in the same process.
