Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cylinder tube for a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
  • FRP fiber-reinforced plastics
  • the DE 103 13 477 B3 has the task of proposing a cylinder tube for a cylinder, which has good stiffness and low weight with good sliding properties.
  • This object is achieved by an inner tube of thermoplastic material and a coaxially arranged outer tube made of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material, which are connected by an intermediate layer.
  • the intermediate layer is electrically conductive and thus heatable, so that a fusion of inner and outer tube can be achieved.
  • the disadvantage is that the tribological properties of the inner tube of thermoplastic material are not sufficiently stable for many applications. In addition, the technological complexity and thus the production costs are very high.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a cylinder tube for a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, which has a low weight and very good tribological properties and is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the cylinder tube according to the invention for a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder has a load-bearing outer tube made of fiber-reinforced plastic and an inner metal liner with a comparatively smaller wall thickness.
  • the outer tube and the liner are included connected by a shear-soft intermediate layer.
  • the metallic liner gives the cylinder tube on the inside very good tribological properties in conjunction with a very good service life.
  • the liner has a low weight due to the very small wall thickness.
  • the liner is preferably not intrinsically stable in order to save weight.
  • the shear-soft intermediate layer can compensate for temperature fluctuations, the different thermal expansion coefficients of metallic liner and the outer tube made of FRP.
  • steel has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 11.3 ⁇ 10 -6 ⁇ K -1
  • carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has a coefficient of 2.65 ⁇ 10 -6 ⁇ K -1 in a quasi-isotropic laminate construction with unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced individual layers
  • a unidirectionally reinforced CFRP monolayer has a coefficient in the fiber direction of -0.5 ⁇ 10 -6 ⁇ K -1 and perpendicular to the fiber direction of 43.0 ⁇ 10 -6 ⁇ K -1 . Visible is the large difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion, which leads to a significant difference in length of liner and outer tube with temperature fluctuations. This would lead to the release of the connection between FKV outer tube and metallic liner without the shear-soft intermediate layer.
  • shear-soft intermediate layer Another advantage of the shear-soft intermediate layer is its significantly higher attenuation. Thus, vibrations during operation can be significantly reduced by the structurally inherent high damping.
  • the intermediate layer consists of elastomers, such as ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM).
  • EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene monomer
  • Elastomers have extremely high elongations at break of up to several 100% and can thus excellently bridge the different thermal expansions between the FRP outer tube and the inner metallic liner.
  • many elastomers have sufficient thermal resistance to application.
  • EPDM elastomers usually have a continuous service temperature range of -40 ° C to + 90 ° C.
  • EPDM has a very good aging resistance under UV or ozone load.
  • the intermediate layer of thermoplastic elastomers which combine the processing advantages of thermoplastics with the material properties of the elastomers.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomers
  • TPE can be melted, thereby enabling easy production of the intermediate layer.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomers based on urethane (TPU) or olefin (TPO).
  • TPU thermoplastic elastomers
  • TPO olefin
  • TPC thermoplastic copolyesters
  • TPS styrene block polymers
  • the outer tube preferably consists of several layers of fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • the structural mechanical properties of the outer tube can be adapted very well to the expected loads.
  • the metallic liner is made of steel.
  • steel is available at low cost and has very good tribological properties.
  • the metallic inner liner has a wall thickness between 0.1 mm and 1 mm.
  • the intermediate layer has a preferred wall thickness between 0.1 mm and 0.4 mm.
  • the inventive production of the cylinder tube which consists of the FKV outer tube, the metallic liner and the shear soft intermediate layer can be carried out as follows.
  • the thin-walled metallic liner is manufactured using classical metallic tube manufacturing techniques such as the spin forming process.
  • the application of the shear soft intermediate layer of elastomer or TPE takes place on the outside of the thin-walled metallic liner, usually first a commercial low-viscosity primer (primer) is applied to the outside of the metallic liner.
  • primer a commercial low-viscosity primer
  • This adhesion promoter serves to achieve a good adhesive strength between the metallic liner and the shear-soft intermediate layer of elastomer or TPE.
  • the thin-walled liner can be stabilized from the inside during the application of the primer and the shear-soft intermediate layer by a support core.
  • This support core is preferably a metal or plastic cylinder, the z.
  • As a support core but also the winding or braided core can be used, which is later used for the production of FKV outer tube.
  • the metallic liner can be overmoulded with TPE.
  • TPE films which are wound around the metallic liner and melted and consolidated by brief temperature increase and subsequent cooling.
  • the subsequent production the FKV outer tube in the winding or braiding process is used.
  • the metallic liner with intermediate layer is quasi "wrapped" or interwoven.
  • the winding process is usually done with preimpregnated fibers so that no subsequent resin infiltration is required.
  • the braiding process is generally done with dry fibers, so that subsequent infiltration in a closed tooling system is required.
  • FIG. 1 shows the structure of a cylinder tube according to the invention 1. This has an outer tube consisting of several fiber layers 11, with different fiber orientations. The total wall thickness of the outer tube formed by the fiber layers 11 is 7 mm.
  • the cylinder tube 1 On the inside, the cylinder tube 1 has a metallic liner 13 made of stainless steel with a wall thickness of 0.4 mm. Between the fiber layers 11 and the metallic liner 13, an intermediate layer 12 of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a layer thickness of 0.2 mm is arranged. The inner diameter of the cylinder tube 1 D i is 85 mm.
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view in the sectional plane AA through the cylinder tube 1, comprising an inner diameter D i and an outer diameter D a at different temperatures.
  • the fiber layers 11, the intermediate layer 12 and the metallic liner 13 are the same length.
  • the increase in temperature results on the right side in an extension of the metallic liner 13 by the difference in length 2.
