• the invention relates to a flat gasket, in particular cylinder head gasket or exhaust flange gasket.
• cylinder head gaskets which may consist of several (metallic) layers, which, if necessary, differently formed layers with suitable joining methods (eg., Clinching, welding, riveting) to connect together.
• suitable joining methods eg., Clinching, welding, riveting
• stopper which are additionally applied or introduced rings, layers or embossments, the required height difference on the combustion chamber edge is set to the edge surface region of the flat gasket.
• EP 0 538 628 A2 discloses a sealing arrangement for internal combustion engines with a cylinder head, an engine block, a cylinder liner, which is inserted in a bore of the engine block, is supported on this, a hollow cylindrical part, a radially from the cylindrical part outer extending annular sealing collar, a piston bore and a substantially cylinder head facing collar seal surface and sealing means, which are in engagement with the collar seal surface and a corresponding cylinder head sealing surface to prevent the escape of combustion gases from the piston bore.
• At least one of the two sealing surfaces is truncated cone-shaped and extends continuously from a radially inwardly circumferential region to a radially outer circumferential region, wherein the radially inner region is spaced further to the other sealing surface than the radially outer region.
• the invention has the object to provide a new sealing concept for flat gaskets, in which profile body used, which act as a sealing element. Another goal is to be able to set the force distribution not only within a sealing system, but also in the more remote environment (hinterland) of the flat gasket, usually caused by the screw forces.
• a flat gasket in particular cylinder head gasket or exhaust flange gasket, comprising at least one layer provided with at least one passage opening, the passage opening receiving at least one elastically deformable profile body with defined material thickness designed as an annular profile wire, the total height of the undeformed profile body being the thickness of the layer exceeds, and wherein the situation in the region of the profile body and / or outside of the profile body is at least partially provided with a thickening of material.
• the material thickening can be produced depending on the embodiment by embossing or applying a coating. Also combined material thickening (embossing + coating) are conceivable, as well as the application of a stopper glasses.
• the material thickening is formed by a coating
• the same advantageously consists of a polymer, in particular a thermoplastic or a thermosetting material.
• the coating includes particles and / or fibers.
• both metallic and mineral particles can be provided individually or in combination, wherein the particles and / or fibers have a defined thickness.
• the coating may, according to a further aspect of the invention, be applied by screen printing on the corresponding area of the layer.
• the thickening of the material can either be applied at defined locations along the regions of the layer surrounding the passage opening, or else it is applied in such a way that a closed region of predeterminable wall thickness is formed.
• the profile body seen in the radial direction, is formed with regions of different material thickness.
• regions of different material thickness offers the cross-sectional shape of a banana, in which about the middle of the radial extent of the profile body, the largest material thickness is given, which then decreases toward the end regions.
• a central core area and outer elastically deformable areas are formed.
• the profile body can either be at least partially connected to the position or be positioned radially movable within the passage opening.
• the material thickening outside of the profile body.
• the so-called hinterland of the flat gasket is addressed, which extends into the edge regions of the flat gasket.
• the respective material thickening may be provided partially or over larger areas in the hinterland and may, if necessary, at least partially enclose the screw through holes.
• the aim of the controlled adjustment of the force distribution, in particular the division between the profile body and the adjoining areas of the situation, is z. B. achieved by height differences between the combustion chamber seal and the media seal. If the media and the combustion chamber seal have the same height (additional requirement: the seals used have the same strength and rigidity), the same load distribution can be assumed. If the heights of the media and the combustion chamber seal are different, a higher load is proportionally introduced. However, so that, for example, the combustion chamber seal can absorb a higher proportion of the screw forces, work is carried out with a projection of the combustion chamber seal. This means that the combustion chamber seal must be slightly higher than the media seal.
• the height difference between the combustion chamber seal and the media seal can be precisely adjusted.
• both required and topographical height differences can be realized, for example, to specifically raise or lower the hinterland (for example by coating with different materials and different particle sizes).
