- the sleeve-like extension of the end body not only forms an outer guide for the compressed bellows, but at the same time forms a positive and therefore safe stroke limitation when the bellows contracts.
- the thus increased guide length ensures a particularly tipping safe leadership.
- the arrangement may be such that the sleeve part extends over a distance which is the axial length of the contracted Balges exceeds.
- the stroke limit is effective before the bellows is contracted so far that it could lead to an upsetting of wrinkles.

Ein ähnlicher Hydrospeichen ist auch aus
Metallbälge kommen auf verschiedenen technischen Gebieten als längenvariables Bauelement zum Einsatz, beispielsweise wenn ein Längenausgleich bei Leitungen oder Kupplungsverbindungen für strömungsfähige Medien erforderlich ist. Besonders häufig werden Metallbälge auch bei Hydrospeichern als bewegliches Trennelement zwischen Gasseite und Fluidseite eingesetzt. Insbesondere bei Anwendungen, bei denen die Bewegungen beim Ausziehen und Zusammenziehen des Balges verhältnismäßig weitläufig stattfinden oder wenn, wie dies bei Pulsationsdämpfern oder Schockabsorbern der Fall ist, hin- und hergehende Bewegungen mit verhältnismäßig hoher Frequenz und/oder höheren Beschleunigungswerten erfolgen, ist es für die Lebensdauer des Balges nicht nur wesentlich, dass das jeweilige Ende des Balges, das sich im Betrieb entlang einer Gehäusewand bewegt, sicher geführt ist, sondern es muss sichergestellt sein, dass es beim Zusammenziehen des Balges nicht zum Stauchen von Falten kommt.Metal bellows are used in various technical fields as a variable-length component, for example, if a length compensation lines or couplings for fluid media is required. Metal bellows are also frequently used in hydraulic accumulators as a movable separating element between the gas side and the fluid side. In particular, in applications where the movements during expansion and contraction of the bellows take place relatively widely or if, as is the case with pulsation dampers or shock absorbers, reciprocating movements with relative high frequency and / or higher acceleration values, it is not only essential for the life of the bellows, that the respective end of the bellows, which moves in operation along a housing wall, is guided safely, but it must be ensured that when contracting of the bellows does not come to upsetting wrinkles.
Diesbezüglich ist es Stand der Technik, am beweglichen Ende des betreffenden Balges ein Führungsmittel vorzusehen. Bei einer einen nachveröffentlichten Stand der Technik darstellenden Lösung, die in der deutschen Patentanmeldung
Diese Führungskörper sind als Führungsschuhe ausgebildet, die bei dem topfartig gestalteten Endkörper den Umfangsrand des Topfes übergreifen, dessen kreiszylinderförmige Seitenwand sich ins Innere des Balges erstreckt. Bei aus einem Kunststoffwerkstoff guter Gleiteigenschaften gebildeten Führungskörpern werden gute Führungseigenschaften erreicht, d.h. die Führung ermöglicht einen sicheren Langzeitbetrieb bei günstigen Reibungsverhältnissen zwischen Führungskörper und Gehäusewand. Andererseits gestaltet sich die Herstellung aufwendig und kostenintensiv. Die einzelnen Führungskörper, die in einem gesonderten Fertigungsschritt hergestellt sind, müssen zum Montageort gebracht und am Endrand des Endkörpers des betreffenden Balges montiert werden. Um eine sichere Verankerung der Führungskörper zu gewährleisten sind die Führungskörper als Führungsschuhe mit einem im Querschnitt U-ähnlichen Profil gestaltet, dessen Schenkel den Endrand des topfartigen Endkörpers übergreifen. Dabei muß sowohl am Endrand des Topfes eine Raste als auch im Inneren des Profils der Führungsschuhe zumindest eine Hinterschneidung vorhanden sein, um die Sicherung der Führungskörper durch Verklipsen zu ermöglichen. Die Ausbildung von Hinterschneidungen bedingt eine aufwändige Herstellung der Führungsschuhe durch Pressformen.These guide bodies are designed as guide shoes, which engage over the peripheral edge of the pot in the cup-shaped end body whose circular cylindrical side wall extends into the interior of the bellows. When formed from a plastic material good sliding properties guide bodies good leadership properties are achieved, ie the guide allows safe long-term operation with favorable friction conditions between the guide body and housing wall. On the other hand, the production is complicated and expensive. The individual guide body, which are made in a separate manufacturing step, must be brought to the installation site and mounted on the end edge of the end body of the bellows concerned. In order to ensure a secure anchoring of the guide body, the guide body designed as a guide shoes with a cross-sectionally U-shaped profile, the legs of the Overlap end edge of the pot-like end body. In this case, both at the end edge of the pot a catch and inside the profile of the guide shoes at least one undercut must be present to allow the securing of the guide body by clipping. The formation of undercuts requires a complex production of the guide shoes by compression molding.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hydrospeicher zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem unter Beibehaltung der guten Führungseigenschaften der vorstehend erwähnten Lösung eine erhöhte Betriebssicherheit durch besonders schonende Beanspruchung des Balges gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to provide a hydraulic accumulator available, in which while maintaining the good leadership properties of the aforementioned solution increased reliability is ensured by particularly gentle stress of the bellows.
Erfindungsgemäß ist diese Aufgabe durch einen Hydrospeicher gelöst, der die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 in seiner Gesamtheit aufweist.According to the invention this object is achieved by a hydraulic accumulator having the features of
Gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 besteht eine wesentliche Besonderheit der Erfindung darin, dass der Balg an dem dem bewegbaren Endkörper entgegengesetzten Balgende an einem gehäusefesten Haltering festgelegt ist, an welchem das Ende des Hülsenteils anschlägt, und dass das Führungsmittel einen Ringkörper aufweist, der mit einem die ersten Ringflächenteile bildenden Ringteil in eine umfängliche Ringnut am Endkörper eingreift, die am Endkörper vom unbeweglichen Balgende weg in der den Abstand zum Haltering vergrößernden Richtung axial versetzt angeordnet ist. Dadurch bildet die hülsenartige Verlängerung des Endkörpers nicht nur eine Außenführung für den zusammengezogenen Balg, sondern bildet gleichzeitig eine formschlüssige und daher sichere Hubbegrenzung beim Zusammenziehen des Balges. Die dadurch vergrößerte Führungslänge gewährleistet eine besonders kippsichere Führung.According to the characterizing part of
In besonders vorteilhafter Weise kann die Anordnung so getroffen sein, dass sich das Hülsenteil über eine Strecke erstreckt, die die axiale Länge des zusammengezogenen Balges übersteigt. Dadurch ist die Hubbegrenzung wirksam, bevor der Balg soweit zusammengezogen ist, dass es zu einem Stauchen von Falten kommen könnte.In a particularly advantageous manner, the arrangement may be such that the sleeve part extends over a distance which is the axial length of the contracted Balges exceeds. As a result, the stroke limit is effective before the bellows is contracted so far that it could lead to an upsetting of wrinkles.
Eine weitere Verbesserung der Führungseigenschaften ergibt sich, wenn im Hülsenteil eine zweite Ringnut für den Ringteil eines weiteren Ringkörpers in zur ersten Ringnut axial versetzter Lage vorgesehen ist und der Endkörper dadurch völlig kippsicher geführt ist.A further improvement of the guiding properties results when in the sleeve part a second annular groove is provided for the annular part of a further annular body in an axially offset position relative to the first annular groove and the end body is thereby guided completely non-tiltably.
Ein optimales Betriebsverhalten, begünstigt durch entsprechend geringe Reibungskräfte ist mit Ringkörpern realisierbar, die aus einem Kunststoffwerkstoff guter Gleiteigenschaften gebildet sind.An optimal performance, favored by correspondingly low frictional forces can be realized with ring bodies, which are formed from a plastic material good sliding properties.
In besonders vorteilhafter Weise kann die Anordnung so getroffen sein, dass am jeweiligen Ringkörper die zweiten Ringflächenteile axial von Flächen besetzt sind, die absatzlose Fortsetzungen der Radialebenen des in der betreffenden Ringnut aufzunehmenden Ringteiles sind. Die Herstellung eines derartigen Ringkörpers in der Art eines ebenen Flachringes ist besonders einfach und kostengünstig.In a particularly advantageous manner, the arrangement can be made such that the second annular surface parts are axially occupied by surfaces on the respective annular body, which are heelless continuations of the radial planes of the annular part to be received in the respective annular groove. The production of such an annular body in the manner of a flat flat ring is particularly simple and inexpensive.
