Definitions
- the invention relates to a connection arrangement for mobile refrigeration systems for connecting refrigerant pipes with other air conditioning components, in particular for the refrigerant CO 2 , from a first coupling piece movably connectable first coupler and a further air conditioning circuit component, wherein the first coupling piece and the other air conditioning circuit component so assembled by fastening means are that the first line end piece and the further air conditioning circuit component via a respective bore and radially extending sealing surfaces are interconnected, wherein between the sealing surfaces, a sealing ring is arranged and as fastening means a single, laterally offset from the sealing surfaces arranged screw is provided and that in Distance from the screw on the side facing away from the sealing surfaces, a non-compressible shaped body is arranged as a spacer between the coupling pieces.
- connection arrangement for refrigerant pipes of the type mentioned is disclosed.
- the line end pieces are firmly bonded, for example by soldering, firmly connected to the respective coupling pieces.
- the sealing surfaces are formed by the coupling pieces and are produced by machining.
- the heat input during soldering creates a heat distortion in the coupling pieces, which leads to changes in the sealing surfaces in shape and position.
- the dimensional fluctuations of the resulting gap between the connected coupling pieces are therefore very large and must be compensated by the flat gasket used to produce the required tightness.
- the process reliability of this procedure is problematic.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to improve the connection arrangement described such that a thermal distortion of the components no longer occurs.
- the first line end piece is passed through the bore of the first coupling piece and at its further climatic circuit component facing and protruding from the first coupling piece has a radially extending, produced by plastic deformation of the first line end chipless sealing surface, that the first line end in the region of the bore of the first coupling piece has a widening, such that the first coupling piece is fixed against rotation and immovable on the first line end piece and that the first coupling piece at the end of the further Klima Vietnameseonnekomponente the end of the bore facing the further air conditioning circuit component annular collar, wherein the annular collar of the further Klimaniklaufkomponente remote rear side of the radial sealing surface of the first line end piece is assigned and in fully assembled m Pressing the state on this back side presses the radial sealing surface of the first line end piece onto the sealing ring.
- This arrangement allows a positive and frictional connection of the first coupling piece with the first line end piece without a harmful heat input. Soldering or other thermal bonding methods are not required.
- the gap tolerance between the radial sealing surface of the first line end piece and the further air conditioning circuit component is smaller, so that the sealing ring has to compensate for less irregularities.
- the strength properties of the components are not negatively affected by heat input.
- the sealing ring is a metallic flat ring with circumferential bead.
- a metallic flat ring can be advantageously stick together when screwing the inventive connection assembly and is in this case particularly dense and resistant to subcritical or supercritical CO 2 .
- Such a metallic flat ring is particularly dense and resistant to the refrigerant R 744 and so-called PAG oils.
- conventional kausanord- the use of metallic flat rings as a sealing ring is not readily possible. In particular, a great deal of force must be used to compress the flat rings in order to achieve absolute tightness.
- connection arrangement according to the invention, however, such compression is simplified, since at least one of the sealing surfaces consists of the material of the line end piece, which is softer than the material of the coupling piece.
- This softer material offers by the possibility of relatively easy plastic deformability a high adaptation potential to a metallic sealing ring.
- a development of the invention provides that the sealing ring is inserted in a flat plastic cap, which is arranged between the sealing surfaces, wherein the plastic cap and the first coupling piece and the first line end piece are formed with its radial sealing surface such that the plastic cap before the screwing of the first coupling piece with the further air conditioning circuit component can be fastened easily between the sealing surfaces, in particular on the edge of the radial sealing surface of the first line end piece can be clipped.
- Such a plastic cap serves as a captive of the sealing ring, since the sealing ring is not fixed before the screw. Due to the plastic cap also a centering of the sealing ring is achieved on the sealing surface.
- the further Klimalcreislaufkomponente is composed of a second coupling piece and a second line end, wherein the second line end is passed through a bore of the second coupling piece and at its first coupling piece facing and protruding from the second coupling end a radially extending, has a non-cutting sealing surface produced by plastic deformation of the second line end piece, the second line end piece has an extension in the region of the bore of the second coupling piece, such that the second coupling piece is secured against rotation and immovable on the second line end piece and that the second coupling piece exhibits a connection with the first coupling piece at the end of the bore facing the first coupling piece having annular collar, wherein the annular collar of the first coupling piece facing away from the rear side of the radial sealing surface of the second line end piece is assigned and pressed in the assembled state on this back pressing the radial sealing surface of the second line end piece on the sealing ring.
- the line end pieces are arranged in alignment with one another according to a development of the invention.
