Abstract
A container (1), in particular a combustion gas cylinder, is provided with a shell (2) and with an adhesive sheet (10) attached to the outer surface (2) of the shell (2); the adhesive sheet (10) carries a check circuit usable to verify whether the container (1) has suffered any damage.
Description
- The present invention relates to a container, in particular a combustion gas cylinder, provided with a check circuit to verify the presence of any damage.
- Japanese patent application with publication number
JP 10-030797 - Said solution is not entirely satisfactory, in that it is somewhat complex to produce, in particular in terms of the positioning of the wires during the forming of the reinforcement layer, and involves relatively long production times, especially due to the processes of applying and hardening the resin. Moreover, this solution cannot be applied to cylinders that have already been placed on the market.
- The purpose of the present invention is to produce a container, in particular a combustion gas cylinder, provided with a check circuit to verify the presence of any damage, which overcomes the problems described above in a simple and cost-effective manner.
- According to the present invention a container is produced, in particular a combustion gas cylinder, comprising:
- a shell delimiting a volume for a fluid;
- an outer layer arranged over said shell;
- a check circuit carried by said outer layer and usable to verify the presence of any damage to the container;
- In order to better understand the present invention, a non-limiting preferred embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the container, in particular a combustion gas cylinder, according to the present invention; -
figure 2 is a plan view of an adhesive sheet that forms part of the container offigure 1 ; and -
figure 3 is a cross-section on an enlarged scale of a portion of the sheet offigure 2 . - In
figure 1 , number 1 indicates a container comprising ashell 2, which is made from a composite material, preferably from carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and defines an internal volume for a fluid under pressure. In particular, theshell 2 comprises an intermediate cylindrical portion 4 and two opposing dome-shaped extremities 5, 6. Clearly, theshell 2 could be differently shaped, for example it could be toroidal shaped. Theshell 2 can consist of a single layer or of a multi-layer element. - In the particular example described herein, the container 1 defines a tank or cylinder of combustion gas for a vehicle and comprises a
valve assembly 7 arranged on the extremity 6 to control the supply of the combustion gas and/or the pressure inside theshell 2. - The outer surface of the
shell 2 is indicated bynumber 8 and is at least partially coated with asheet 10, which is made from plastic material and is of an appropriate thickness and shape so as to remain entirely in contact with thesurface 8 without any folds. For example, the thickness of thesheet 10 is approximately 0.05 mm. - With reference to
figure 2 , thesheet 10 comprises a substantially rectangularintermediate portion 13, attached to the portion 4, and two sets of lobes having a substantially trapezoidal shape, arranged along the sides of theportion 13 and attached, respectively, to theextremities 5 and 6. - With reference to
figure 3 , (in which the various components are not illustrated to scale for the sake of clarity), the surface of thesheet 10 that is in contact with thesurface 8 is indicated bynumber 15 and is provided with anadhesive 16 capable of maintaining thesheet 10 attached to thesurface 8 during use even in the presence of dust and/or external moisture. - The
sheet 10 carries awire 18, which is made of an electrically conductive material and is arranged in a coil and in a fixed position on substantially theentire surface 17 which is opposite thesurface 15. In the particular example that is illustrated, thewire 18 has a relatively small cross section (approximately 0.01 mm2 or less) so as to break in the event of accidental contact, for example a rectangular cross-section with a width of approx 0.1 mm (figure 3 ), and comprises a plurality ofrectilinear portions 19 linked to one another and spaced approximately 5 mm apart. - The
wire 18 is preferably applied to thesheet 10 by means of a screen printing process or is defined by conductive paint applied to thesheet 10 by means of a printing process. - The ends of the
wire 18 are defined by electric terminals inserted in aconnector 20 made from plastic material, which is carried by thesheet 10 in a fixed position, for example co-pressed on thesheet 10, protrudes from thesurface 17, and with thewire 18 defines a check circuit connectable to a sensing circuit that is not illustrated and not described in detail. - The sensing circuit is conveniently installed on the vehicle and is capable of verifying the continuity of the
wire 18 at the two wire terminals, and of emitting a relative fault signal in case of discontinuity, to warn of possible damage to theshell 2. - If the cylinder 1 suffers an impact or abrasion such as to cut the coiled
wire 18 at any point, the electric continuity is interrupted and the sensing circuit signals the fault, for example in the form of an indicator lamp that lights up on the instrument panel of the vehicle or in the form of an acoustic signal. Upon noticing the fault, the driver of the vehicle must go to the service station to check whether theshell 2 has actually been damaged. - If the inspection at the service station finds any damage to the
shell 2, in particular to the reinforcing fibers of the composite material, the cylinder 1 must be replaced. If theshell 2 is found to be intact, thesheet 10 is simply replaced. - In theory the
entire surface 8 can be covered, but thesheet 10 is preferably arranged in correspondence with the most delicate parts of theshell 2 and/or the parts that are most likely to be subject to impacts or abrasions. - From the above description it is apparent that the
sheet 10 enables the driver to be warned immediately of an impact or abrasion, with possible damage to the cylinder 1, without having to remove the cylinder 1 from the vehicle. Moreover, thesheet 10 makes it possible and extremely simple to check that no damage has been caused while installing the cylinder 1 during assembly of the vehicle. If a fault signal is present, the cylinder 1 is disassembled in order to verify the integrity of theshell 2 immediately after assembly. If no defects are found, thesheet 10 is replaced before re-assembling the cylinder 1 in the vehicle. - The
sheet 10 is self-adhesive so that it can be attached to thesurface 8 easily and quickly. Thesheet 10 can be attached and removed by hand, without the need for extremely precise positioning on thesurface 8. Moreover, thesheet 10 can also be attached to existing cylinders or containers, without the need for any modifications. - Lastly, it is clear that modifications and variations may be made to the container or cylinder 1 described and illustrated herein without departing from the scope of the present invention, as set forth in the claims.
- For improved coverage of the
surface 17 by thewire 18, thewire 18 could have a different shape or follow a different path to those described by way of example, for instance it could have sinusoidal portions instead of rectilinear ones. - The
wire 18 could be made from any other material suitable to determine the continuity between the two wire terminals, for example it could be an optic fiber; and/or it could be fixed to thesheet 10 using a process other than screen printing or printing. - Instead of a
single wire 18, thesheet 10 could carry a plurality of wires or check circuits arranged parallel to one another and in given areas of the surface 17: by determining which wire is broken, this would indicate which portion of theshell 2 should be checked to enable a more rapid verification of any damage to the cylinder 1. Alternatively, a set ofsheets 10 could be arranged on thesurface 8, with respective check circuits, preferably parallel to one another, instead of having asingle sheet 10.
