Für den Luft-Abgas-Betrieb von modernen Wärmeerzeugern, insbesondere von Brennwert- oder Niedertemperaturgeräten, werden zunehmend doppelwandige Leitungssysteme bzw. Rohrleitungssysteme eingesetzt, um einerseits das bei der Verbrennung entstehende Abgas sicher abzuführen und andererseits die zur Verbrennung benötigte Zuluft durch eine platzsparende Leitungsführung zuzuführen, wobei bei der Zuführung die Zuluft energieeinsparend von dem abgeführten Abgas vorerwärmt wird. Solche bekannten Leitungssysteme bestehen aus einem Außenleitungsbauteil und einem konzentrisch von dem Außenleitungsbauteil umgebenen Innenleitungsbauteil, wobei die Leitungsbauteile im Querschnitt kreisförmige Rohrleitungen sein können. Zur Abgas-Messung oder für eine Probe-Entnahme des Abgases steht bei solchen Leitungssystemen eine von außen zugängliche Messstelle zur Verfügung.For the air-exhaust operation of modern heat generators, in particular of condensing or low-temperature devices, double-walled pipe systems or pipe systems are increasingly being used, on the one hand to safely discharge the exhaust gas produced during combustion and, on the other hand, to supply the supply air required for combustion through a space-saving pipe system, with the supply air being preheated by the exhaust gas to save energy. Such known line systems consist of an outer line component and an inner line component surrounded concentrically by the outer line component, wherein the line components can be pipelines with a circular cross section.

Der Kappenhalter weist eine Öffnung auf, durch welche ein Luer-Verbinder in die Kappe eingebracht ist, der wiederum mit einer Infusionsleitung verbunden ist. Der Luer-Verbinder ist von dem Kappenhalter abschnittsweise umgeben. Ein Kegelabschnitt erstreckt sich von dem Luer-Verbinder aus in Richtung des Bodens des Kappenhalters. Die antiseptische Kappe weist eine innerhalb des Kappenhalters angeordnete Kappe auf, die einen Gewindeabschnitt umfasst, der mit dem Luer-Verbinder verschraubt ist.From the WO 2014/159346 is an antiseptic cap that has a cap holder. The cap holder has an opening through which a Luer connector is inserted into the cap, which in turn is connected to an infusion line. The Luer connector is surrounded in sections by the cap holder. A tapered section extends from the Luer connector towards the bottom of the cap holder.

Ein Kesselanschlussstück zum Anschluss von Heizkesseln mit einem Messstellen-System der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE 100 53 067 C1 bekannt. Das Messstellen-System ist hierbei an einem Kesselanschlussstück ausgebildet und weist eine innenliegende Abgasleitung und eine konzentrisch und im Abstand dazu angeordnete, außenliegende Zuluftleitung auf. Die Abgasleitung weist ferner ein als Messstutzen ausgebildetes Rohrstück auf, welches sich radial von der Außenseite der Abgasleitung aus erstreckt. Dabei ist die Abgasleitung über radiale Stege und dem Messstutzen starr mit der Zuluftleitung verbunden. Das als Messstutzen ausgebildete Rohrstück ist nach außen aus der Zuluftleitung herausgeführt und durch einen Stopfen verschlossen. Nach Entfernen des Stopfens kann durch den Messstutzen hindurch eine Sonde zur Rauchgas-Probenentnahme in die Abgasleitung eingeführt werden.A boiler connector for connecting boilers to a measuring point system of the type mentioned is, for example, from DE 100 53 067 C1 known. The measuring point system is designed on a boiler connection piece and has an internal exhaust gas line and an external air supply line arranged concentrically and at a distance from it. The exhaust pipe also has a pipe section designed as a measuring connector which extends radially from the outside of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is rigidly connected to the supply air pipe via radial webs and the measuring nozzle. The pipe section designed as a measuring nozzle is led outwards from the supply air line and closed by a plug. After removing the plug, a probe for taking smoke gas samples can be inserted into the exhaust pipe through the measuring nozzle.

Bei diesem bekannten Messstellen-System ist es von großem Nachteil, wenn der Stopfen für das Rohrstück undicht wird, denn dann tritt Abgas in den Aufstellraum der Abgasanlage aus, was zu einer für Personen gefährlichen Abgaskonzentration im Aufstellraum führt.In this known measuring point system, it is a great disadvantage if the plug for the pipe section leaks, because exhaust gas then escapes into the installation room of the exhaust system, which leads to an exhaust gas concentration in the installation room that is dangerous for people.

Verschlusses garantiert, der eine Öffnung eines Messstutzens eines von einem Außenleitungsbauteil umgebenen Innenleitungsbauteil verschließt.The invention is based on the object of creating a solution which, in a structurally simple manner, comprises an exhaust system with a boiler connection piece comprising a measuring point system which is inexpensive to manufacture and which also guarantees improved safety in the event of a leak in the plug or closure which closes an opening of a measuring port of an inner line component surrounded by an external line component.

Im Sinne der Erfindung sind für eine Anordnung von Außenleitungsbauteil und Innenleitungsbauteil Anordnungen zu verstehen, bei denen entweder eckige Kanäle oder Rohre mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt beispielsweise konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind.In the case of an exhaust system with a boiler connection piece comprising a measuring point system of the type mentioned at the beginning, the object is achieved in that a gap is formed between the inner line component measuring opening and the outer line component, the at least one closure element having an elongated body which, when the at least one is attached Closure element on the outer line component extends at least in sections into the at least one measuring port and which both the at least one outer line component measuring opening and the at least one inner line component measuring opening is designed to be sealing. In the context of the invention, an arrangement of the outer line component and the inner line component is to be understood as meaning arrangements in which either angular channels or pipes with a circular cross section are arranged concentrically to one another, for example.

Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous and expedient refinements and developments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Durch die Erfindung wird eine Abgasanlage mit einem Kesselanschlussstück umfassend ein Messstellen-System zur Verfügung gestellt, das sich durch eine funktionsgerechte Konstruktion auszeichnet und einen kompakten sowie kostengünstigen Aufbau aufweist. Bei dem Messstellen-System der Abgasanlage gemäß der Erfindung wird eine doppelte Sicherheit hinsichtlich der Dichtigkeit erreicht. Denn sollte der Bereich des langgestreckten Körpers, welcher sich bei Anbringung des Verschlusselements an dem Außenleitungsbauteil zumindest abschnittsweise bin in den Messstutzen hinein erstreckt und die Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung abdichten soll, undicht werden, kann beispielsweise ein durch das Innenleitungsbauteil strömendes Abgas nur in das Außenleitungsbauteil strömen, aber niemals aus dem Außen-leitungsbauteil in die äußere Umgebung, wie zum Beispiel ein geschlossener Aufstellraum für eine Abgasanlage, denn das Verschlusselement stellt eine doppelte Sicherheit durch die Abdichtung sowohl der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung als auch der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung dar. Kommt es tatsächlich zu einer Undichtigkeit an der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung, so dass Abgas in das Außenleitungsbauteil strömt, wird die Abgasanlage aufgrund der mit Abgas beladenen Zuluft eine Störmeldung anzeigen, wobei es aber zu keinem Austritt von Abgas in den Aufstellraum kommt. Vielmehr kann infolge der Störmeldung die Dichtigkeit der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung überprüft und wiederhergestellt werden, ohne dass es zu einer für Personen gefährlichen Situation durch eine erhöhte Abgaskonzentration im Aufstellraum kommt.The invention provides an exhaust system with a boiler connection piece comprising a measuring point system which is characterized by a functionally appropriate construction and has a compact and cost-effective structure. With the measuring point system of the exhaust system according to the invention, a double security with regard to the tightness is achieved. This is because if the area of the elongated body which, when the closure element is attached to the external line component, extends at least in sections into the measuring nozzle and is intended to seal the internal line component measuring opening, should leak, For example, an exhaust gas flowing through the inner line component can only flow into the outer line component, but never from the outer line component into the external environment, such as a closed installation room for an exhaust system, because the closure element provides double security by sealing both the outer line component measurement opening and the If there is actually a leak at the inner line component measuring opening, so that exhaust gas flows into the outer line component, the exhaust system will display a fault message due to the supply air laden with exhaust gas, but there will be no exhaust gas escaping into the installation room. Rather, as a result of the fault message, the tightness of the inner line component measuring opening can be checked and restored without a situation that is dangerous for people due to an increased exhaust gas concentration in the installation room.

Die Erfindung sieht in Ausgestaltung vor, dass der wenigstens eine Messstutzen in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zu der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung endet. Trotz vorhandenem Spalt zwischen der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung und dem Außenleitungsbauteil und könnte sich der Messstutzen bis in die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung erstrecken - jedoch ist durch die Ausgestaltung, dass der Messstutzen in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zur Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung endet, in jedem Fall sichergestellt, dass ein ausreichender Spalt vorhanden ist, durch den im Fall einer Undichtigkeit der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung das durch das Innenleitungsbauteil strömende Fluid, wie zum Beispiel Abgas, in das Außenleitungsbauteil strömt.In one embodiment, the invention provides that the at least one measuring port ends at a predetermined distance from the at least one external line component measuring opening. Despite the existing gap between the inner line component measuring opening and the outer line component, the measuring nozzle could extend into the outer line component measuring opening - however, the design so that the measuring nozzle ends at a predetermined distance from the outer line component measuring opening ensures that there is a sufficient gap in every case that in the event of a leak in the inner line component measuring opening through the inner line component flowing fluid, such as exhaust gas, flows into the outer conduit component.

Zur Erhöhung der Dichtwirkung an der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung sieht die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass an einem ersten Längsende des langgestreckten Körpers des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements ein Dichtungsabschnitt ausgebildet ist, der bei Anbringung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements an dem Außenleitungsbauteil innerhalb des wenigstens einen Messstutzens angeordnet ist und an dem wenigstens eine um den langgestreckten Körper umlaufende und von diesem abstehende Dichtlippe angeformt ist, die elastisch verformbar ausgebildet ist. Es können auch mehr als eine Dichtlippe an dem langgestreckten Körper ausgebildet sein, wobei der langgestreckte Körper mit dem Abschnitt mit der wenigstens einen Dichtlippe die Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung abdichtend in den Messstutzen eingedrückt ist. Der langgestreckte Körper des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements muss folglich nicht sehr genau an den Querschnitt des Messstutzens angepasst sein, so dass der langgestreckte Körper mit großzügigen Toleranzen hergestellt werden kann, denn die wenigstens eine Dichtlippe sorgt für die Dichtwirkung. Folglich weist der langgestreckte Körper mitsamt der wenigstens einen Dichtlippe einen größeren Querschnitt als der Messstutzen auf.To increase the sealing effect on the inner line component measuring opening, the invention provides in a further embodiment that a sealing section is formed on a first longitudinal end of the elongated body of the at least one closure element, which is arranged within the at least one measuring connector when the at least one closure element is attached to the outer line component and on which at least one sealing lip which extends around the elongate body and protrudes therefrom is integrally formed and which is designed to be elastically deformable. It is also possible for more than one sealing lip to be formed on the elongated body, the elongated body with the section with the at least one sealing lip being pressed into the measuring nozzle in a sealing manner. The elongated body of the at least one closure element therefore does not have to be adapted very precisely to the cross section of the measuring port, so that the elongated body can be produced with generous tolerances, because the at least one sealing lip ensures the sealing effect. As a result, the elongated body together with the at least one sealing lip has a larger cross section than the measuring nozzle.

Zur einfachen Montage und Demontage des Verschlusselements sieht die Erfindung in Ausgestaltung vor, dass an einem zweiten Längsende des langgestreckten Körpers des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements ein im Vergleich zum langgestreckten Körper einen größeren Querschnitt aufweisender Kopfabschnitt zur Handhabung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements ausgebildet ist. Das Verschlusselement, welches zur Anbringung an dem Außenleitungsbauteil nach Art einer Schraube festgedreht werden muss, kann bei entsprechender Ausbildung des Kopfabschnitts entweder per Hand oder mit Hilfe einer Münze oder eines Inbusschlüssels gedreht werden.For easy assembly and disassembly of the closure element, the invention provides in an embodiment that a head section for handling the at least one closure element is formed at a second longitudinal end of the elongated body of the at least one closure element, which has a larger cross-section than the elongated body. The closure element, which has to be tightened like a screw for attachment to the external line component, can be turned either by hand or with the aid of a coin or an Allen key if the head section is designed accordingly.

Zur Abdichtung der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung ist es von Vorteil, wenn an dem langgestreckten Körper des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements zwischen dem Dichtungsabschnitt und dem Kopfabschnitt wenigstens ein um den langgestreckten Körper umlaufendes und elastisch ausgebildetes Dichtlippenelement angeformt ist, welches bei Anbringung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements an dem Außenleitungsbauteil auf der Außenseite des Außenleitungsbauteils die wenigstens eine Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung dichtend verschließt. Das Dichtlippenelement dichtet folglich den Bereich zwischen dem langgestreckten Körper des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements und der Außenleitungsbauteilöffnung ab.To seal the outer line component measuring opening, it is advantageous if at least one sealing lip element is formed on the elongated body of the at least one closure element between the sealing section and the head section, which encircles the elongated body and is elastically formed, which when the at least one closure element is attached to the outer line component on the Outside of the external line component which seals off at least one external line component measuring opening. The sealing lip element consequently seals off the area between the elongated body of the at least one closure element and the outer line component opening.

Die Erfindung sieht in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass das wenigstens eine Verschlusselement mit Hilfe eines Verriegelungsmechanismus lösbar an dem Außenleitungsbauteil fixierbar ist, wobei zur lösbaren Fixierung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements an dem Außenleitungsbauteil das wenigstens eine Verschlusselement aus einer Öffnungsstellung, in welcher das Verschlusselement aus der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung herausziehbar ist, in eine Verriegelungsstellung, in welcher eine Bewegung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements aus der wenigstens einen Außenbauleitungsbauteilmessöffnung mit Hilfe des Verriegelungsmechanismus blockiert ist, drehbar ist. Gemäß der Weiterbildung existieren definierte Positionen für das Verschlusselement, so dass bei einer entsprechend angebrachten Markierung in einem Bereich des Verschlusselements, der von außen sichtbar ist, sofort erkannt werden kann, ob sich das Verschlusselement in einer verriegelten und gesicherten Position zur Abdichtung des Systems befindet.In a further embodiment, the invention provides that the at least one closure element can be releasably fixed to the external line component with the aid of a locking mechanism, with the at least one closure element from an open position in which the closure element from the at least an external line component measuring opening can be pulled out into a locking position in which a movement of the at least one closure element out of the at least one external line component measuring opening is blocked with the aid of the locking mechanism. According to the development, there are defined positions for the closure element, so that when a corresponding marking is applied in an area of the closure element that is visible from the outside, it can be recognized immediately whether the closure element is in a locked and secured position for sealing the system.

Eine konstruktiv einfache Möglichkeit für eine sichere Verriegelung und damit Abdichtung ist in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dadurch realisierbar, dass der Verriegelungsmechanismus wenigstens einen Verriegelungsansatz umfasst, der an dem langgestreckten Körper des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements ausgebildet ist, wobei der wenigstens eine Verriegelungsansatz in Verriegelungsstellung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements den Rand der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung hintergreifend angeordnet ist, wohingegen der wenigstens eine Verriegelungsansatz in Öffnungsstellung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements fluchtend zu einem erweiterten Bereich der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung angeordnet ist. Dabei kann das Verschlusselement nur in der Öffnungsstellung aus der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung des Außenleitungsbauteils herausgezogen werden, was die Verlierbarkeit des Verschlusselements bei Demontage zu Messzwecken verringert.A structurally simple possibility for secure locking and thus sealing can be implemented in an embodiment of the invention in that the locking mechanism has at least one locking attachment which is formed on the elongated body of the at least one closure element, the at least one locking projection in the locking position of the at least one closure element being arranged to reach behind the edge of the at least one external line component measuring opening, whereas the at least one locking projection in the opening position of the at least one closure element is in alignment with an enlarged one Area of the at least one external line component measuring opening is arranged. In this case, the closure element can only be pulled out of the external line component measurement opening of the external line component in the open position, which reduces the loss of the closure element when it is dismantled for measurement purposes.

Zur sicheren Fixierung des Verschlusselements, damit dieses bei Vibrationen nicht aus seiner Verriegelungsstellung zurück in die Öffnungsstellung gelangt, ist in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der wenigstens eine Verriegelungsansatz des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements eine ansteigende Anzugfläche und eine sich an die ansteigende Anzugfläche anschließende, abfallende Haltefläche aufweist und dass an der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung innenseitig des Außenleitungsbauteils ein Blockierungsansatz ausgebildet ist, wobei in Verriegelungsstellung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements die abfallende Haltefläche an dem Blockierungsansatz anliegt und der Blockierungsansatz eine Bewegung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements in Richtung der Öffnungsstellung blockiert.To securely fix the closure element so that it does not move from its locking position back into the open position in the event of vibrations, an embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one locking attachment of the at least one closure element has a rising tightening surface and a sloping holding surface that adjoins the rising tightening surface and that a blocking attachment is formed on the at least one external line component measuring opening on the inside of the external line component, wherein in the locking position of the at least one closure element the sloping holding surface rests against the blocking attachment and the blocking attachment blocks a movement of the at least one closure element in the direction of the opening position.

Damit für den Bediener eine Bewegung des Verschlusselements aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung spürbar ist, sieht die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass zur Fixierung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements an dem Außenleitungsbauteil bei Bewegung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung sich die ansteigende Anzugfläche über den Blockierungsansatz hinweg bewegt und der Blockierungsansatz dabei das wenigstens eine Verschlusselement in Richtung des Innenleitungsbauteils drängt. Folglich muss eine erhöhte Kraft aufgewandt werden, um das Verschlusselement aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung zu bewegen. Darüber hinaus sorgt die ansteigende Anzugfläche dafür, dass das Verschlusselement in Richtung des Innenleitungsbauteils bewegt wird, wodurch die Dichtwirkung erhöht wird.In order that a movement of the closure element from the open position into the locking position can be felt by the operator, the invention provides in a further embodiment that, in order to fix the at least one closure element on the external line component, when the at least one closure element is moved from the open position into the locking position, the increasing Suit area over the Blocking approach moved away and the blocking approach thereby pushes the at least one closure element in the direction of the inner line component. Consequently, an increased force has to be applied in order to move the closure element from the open position into the locking position. In addition, the rising tightening surface ensures that the closure element is moved in the direction of the inner line component, whereby the sealing effect is increased.

Die Erfindung sieht in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass an dem langgestreckten Körper des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements zwei Verriegelungsansätze ausgebildet sind, die diametral zueinander an dem langgestreckten Körper angeformt sind. Dabei kann auch der zweite Verriegelungsansatz in Verriegelungsstellung des Verschlusselements den Rand der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung hintergreifen, so dass das Verschlusselement sehr sicher mittels einer formschlüssigen Verbindung an einer Bewegung von dem Messstutzen weg gesichert ist.In a further embodiment, the invention provides that two locking lugs are formed on the elongated body of the at least one closure element, which are formed diametrically to one another on the elongated body. The second locking projection can also engage behind the edge of the at least one external line component measurement opening in the locking position of the closure element, so that the closure element is secured very securely by means of a form-fitting connection to move away from the measurement port.

Schließlich sieht die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass an der wenigstens einen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung ein Anschlagbereich ausgebildet ist, an welchem einer der beiden Verriegelungsansätze in Verriegelungsstellung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements anliegt. Auf diese Weise ist die Endlage des Verschlusselements in der Verriegelungsstellung definiert und damit gewährleistet, dass das Verschlusselement auch tatsächlich in seiner Verriegelungsstellung positioniert ist und nicht in einer darüber hinausliegenden Position.Finally, in a further embodiment, the invention provides that a stop area is formed on the at least one external line component measuring opening, against which one of the two locking lugs rests in the locking position of the at least one closure element. In this way, the end position of the closure element is defined in the locking position, thus ensuring that the closure element is actually positioned in its locking position and not in a position beyond it.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It goes without saying that the features mentioned above and still to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively specified combination, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

In den Figuren 1 bis 19 sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele für ein Messstellen-System der erfindungsgemäßen Abgasanlage 1 dargestellt, wobei sich die Figuren 1 bis 6 auf ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel und die Figuren 13 bis 15 auf ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des Messstellen-Systems 1 beziehen. In den Figuren 7 bis 12 ist ein Verschlusselement 2 in verschiedenen Darstellungen gezeigt, welches für beide Ausführungsbeispiele des Messstellen-Systems 1 identisch ist und bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen Verwendung findet. Die Figuren 16 bis 19 zeigen die Anbringung des Verschlusselements 2 an einem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 des Messstellen-Systems 1, was ebenfalls für beide Ausführungsbeispiele Gültigkeit besitzt.In the Figures 1 to 19 two exemplary embodiments of a measuring point system of the exhaust gas system 1 according to the invention are shown, the Figures 1 to 6 to a first embodiment and the Figures 13 to 15 refer to a second exemplary embodiment of the measuring point system 1. In the Figures 7 to 12 a closure element 2 is shown in various representations, which is identical for both exemplary embodiments of the measuring point system 1 and is used in both exemplary embodiments. the Figures 16 to 19 show the attachment of the closure element 2 to an external line component 3 of the measuring point system 1, which is also valid for both exemplary embodiments.

Die beiden Ausführungsbeispiele des Messstellen-Systems 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Abgasanlage unterscheiden sich lediglich durch die Anzahl der vorhandenen Messstellen, so dass die nachstehende Beschreibung für beide Ausführungsbeispiele gilt.The two exemplary embodiments of the measuring point system 1 of the exhaust system according to the invention differ only in the number of measuring points present, so that the following description applies to both exemplary embodiments.

Das Messstellen-System 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Abgasanlage weist das Außenleitungsbauteil 3 und ein Innenleitungsbauteil 4 auf, welches von dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 umgeben ist. Dabei ist das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 abschnittsweise von dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 umgeben, wie die Figuren 1, 3, 13 und 14 für beide Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen. Bei diesen Ausführungsbeispielen ragt ein Rohrabschnitt des Innenleitungsbauteils 4 aus dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 heraus, wobei es auch denkbar ist, dass das Außenleitungsbauteil 3 das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 vollständig umgibt. Das in den Figuren gezeigte Messstellen-System 1 ist für ein Kesselanschlussstück für Abgasanlagen bestimmt, wobei es sich in den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen um konzentrische Rohrbögen handelt. Die Erfindung ist aber nicht auf diesen Anwendungsfall beschränkt, sondern auch überall dort einsetzbar, wo Messungen oder Probe-Entnahmen von zwei Fluidströmungen gewünscht sind, welche zum einen durch das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 und zum anderen durch das Außenleitungsbauteil 3 strömen, wobei das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 und das Außenleitungsbauteil 3 ein doppelwandiges Leitungssystem definieren.The measuring point system 1 of the exhaust system according to the invention has the external line component 3 and an internal line component 4 which is surrounded by the external line component 3. The inner line component 4 is partially surrounded by the outer line component 3, like the Figures 1 , 3 , 13 and 14 show for both embodiments. With these In embodiments, a pipe section of the inner line component 4 protrudes from the outer line component 3, it also being conceivable that the outer line component 3 completely surrounds the inner line component 4. The measuring point system 1 shown in the figures is intended for a boiler connection piece for exhaust systems, with concentric pipe bends in the exemplary embodiments shown. However, the invention is not limited to this application, but can also be used wherever measurements or sampling of two fluid flows are desired, which flow on the one hand through the inner line component 4 and on the other hand through the outer line component 3, the inner line component 4 and the External line component 3 define a double-walled line system.

Wie der Vergleich der Figuren 1 und 13 zeigt, weist das Messstellen-System 1 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels zwei Messstellen 5a und 5b auf, wohingegen bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel vier Messstellen 5 vorgesehen sind (siehe Figur 14). Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Messstellen 5a für eine Probe-Entnahme eines durch das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömenden Fluids vorgesehen, wohingegen die Messstelle 5b für eine Probe-Entnahme für ein Fluid bestimmt ist, welches in dem zwischen dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 und dem Innenleitungsbauteil 4 ausgebildeten Raum strömt. Im konkreten Fall eines Abgassystems dienen die Messstellen 5a für eine Messung des für das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömenden Abgases und die Messstellen 5b für eine Messung der zwischen dem Innenleitungsbauteil 4 und dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 strömenden Zuluft.Like comparing the Figures 1 and 13th shows, the measuring point system 1 of the first exemplary embodiment has two measuring points 5a and 5b, whereas in the second exemplary embodiment four measuring points 5 are provided (see FIG Figure 14 ). In the exemplary embodiments, the measuring points 5a are provided for taking a sample of a fluid flowing through the inner line component 4, whereas the measuring point 5b is intended for taking a sample of a fluid which flows in the space formed between the outer line component 3 and the inner line component 4 . In the specific case of an exhaust system, the measuring points 5a are used to measure the exhaust gas flowing for the inner line component 4 and the measuring points 5b are used to measure the supply air flowing between the inner line component 4 and the outer line component 3.

Zur Messung oder Probenentnahme des durch das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömenden Fluids bzw. Abgases ist ein Messstutzen 6 vorgesehen, der sich von der Außenseite des Innenleitungsbauteils 4 aus in Richtung des Außenleitungsbauteils 3 erstreckt und endseitig mit einer Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 ausgebildet ist (siehe Figure 2 oder 16). Die Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 stellt über den Messstutzen 6 eine Verbindung zum Inneren 8 des Innenleitungsbauteils 4 her, so dass beispielsweise eine an der Messstelle 5a verwendete Messsonde über den Messstutzen 6 zur Messung in das Innere 8 des Innenleitungsbauteils 4 geführt werden kann. Dabei gelangt die Messsonde über eine in dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 ausgebildete Außenleitungsbauteilöffnung 9 zu dem Messstutzen 6. Zur Messung oder Probenentnahme des zwischen dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 und dem Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömenden Fluids, d.h. der Zuluft, ist eine weitere Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 vorgesehen (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 2).To measure or take samples of the fluid or exhaust gas flowing through the inner line component 4, a measuring connector 6 is provided, which extends from the outside of the inner line component 4 in the direction of the outer line component 3 and is formed at the end with an inner line component measuring opening 7 (see FIG Figure 2 or 16 ). the Inner line component measuring opening 7 establishes a connection to the interior 8 of the inner line component 4 via the measuring connector 6, so that, for example, a measuring probe used at the measuring point 5a can be guided via the measuring connector 6 into the interior 8 of the inner line component 4 for measurement. The measuring probe arrives at the measuring port 6 via an external line component opening 9 formed in the external line component 3. A further external line component measurement opening 9 is provided for measuring or taking samples of the fluid flowing between the external line component 3 and the internal line component 4, ie the supply air (see for example Figure 2 ).

Im Unterschied zu dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel sind bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel folglich jeweils zwei Messstellen 5a und 5b für eine Abgas- und eine Zuluft-Messung vorgesehen, wobei bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnungen 9 für beide Messstellen 5a und 5b identisch ausgebildet sind. Bei beiden in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen sind auch die Verschlusselemente 2 für die Messstellen 5a und 5b baugleich ausgebildet. Dabei ist ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 lösbar an dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 angebracht und verschließt die zugeordnete Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 in dichtender Weise. Ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 dichtet folglich die ihm zugeordnete Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 ab, wenn es in die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 eingesteckt und ggf. dort lösbar fixiert ist, worauf nachstehend noch näher eingegangen wird. Es versteht sich, dass die Verschlusselemente 2 ebenso wie das Außenleitungsbauteil 3 sowie das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 zu dem Messstellen-System 1 gemäß den beiden Ausführungsbeispielen gehören. Der Vollständigkeit halber sei erwähnt, dass in Figur 2 ferner ein zur Verbindung dienender Flanschring 29 und ein Dichtring 30 gezeigt sind.In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, in the second exemplary embodiment two measuring points 5a and 5b are provided for measuring exhaust gas and supply air, with the outer line component measuring openings 9 being identical for both measuring points 5a and 5b in both exemplary embodiments. In the two exemplary embodiments shown in the figures, the closure elements 2 for the measuring points 5a and 5b are also designed to be identical. A respective closure element 2 is detachably attached to the external line component 3 and closes the associated external line component measuring opening 9 in a sealing manner. A respective closure element 2 consequently seals the external line component measuring opening 9 assigned to it when it is inserted into the external line component measuring opening 9 and, if necessary, detachably fixed there, which will be discussed in more detail below. It goes without saying that the closure elements 2, like the external line component 3 and the internal line component 4, belong to the measuring point system 1 according to the two exemplary embodiments. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that in Figure 2 furthermore a flange ring 29 serving for connection and a sealing ring 30 are shown.

Der Messstutzen 6 erstreckt sich in Richtung der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 und weist endseitig die Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 auf. Ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2, welches universell zur Abdichtung beider Messstellen 5a und 5b, aber insbesondere zur Abdichtung einer jeweiligen Messstelle 5a verwendet wird, weist einen langgestreckten Körper 10 auf. Denn dieser langgestreckte Körper 10 erstreckt sich bei Anbringung des Verschlusselements 2 an der jeweiligen Messstelle 5a des Außenleitungsbauteils 3 zumindest abschnittsweise bis in den Messstutzen 6 hinein. Bei Anbringung dichtet das Verschlusselement 2 erfindungsgemäß die gesamte Messstelle 5a ab. Dies bedeutet, dass das Verschlusselement 2 sowohl die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 als auch die Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 abdichtet, wie beispielsweise aus den Figuren 3, 4, 14, 15 und 16 für beide Ausführungsbeispiele ersichtlich ist. Das Verschlusselement 2 ist im Detail für verschiedene Ansichten in den Figuren 7 bis 12 gezeigt. An einem ersten Längsende 11 des langgestreckten Körpers 10 eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 ist ein Dichtungsabschnitt 12 ausgebildet (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 9, 11 oder 12). Bei Anbringung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 an einer zugeordneten Messstelle 5a ist der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 innerhalb des Messstutzens 6 angeordnet, wie es die Figuren 3, 4, 14, 15 und 16 zeigen. Zur Abdichtung des Messstutzens 6 weist der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 insgesamt vier Dichtlippen 14 auf, die in Längsrichtung des langgestreckten Körpers 10 versetzt umlaufend um den langgestreckten Körper 10 ausgebildet sind. Alternativ könnte auch nur eine einzige Dichtlippe 14 an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 ausgebildet sein. Die jeweiligen Dichtlippen 14 sind elastisch verformbar ausgebildet, so dass beim Einstecken des Verschlusselements 2 in die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 der Messstelle 5a der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 in die Innenleitungsbauteilöffnung 7 des Messstutzens 6 eingesteckt wird, der sich fluchtend zu der Außenbauteilmessöffnung 9 erstreckt, und dabei die Innenleitungsbauteilöffnung 7 abdichtet. Zur Verbesserung der Handhabung des Verschlusselements 2 bei dessen Montage am oder Demontage vom Außenleitungsbauteil 3 weist ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 an einem zweiten Längsende 15 des langgestreckten Körpers 10 einen Kopfabschnitt 16 auf, der eine einfache manuelle Handhabung des Verschlusselements 2 sicherstellt. Der Kopfabschnitt 16 weist im Vergleich zu dem langgestreckten Körper 10 einen größeren Querschnitt 17 auf. Ferner ist an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 ein Dichtlippenelement 18 angeformt. Das Dichtlippenelement 18 ist umlaufend um den langgestreckten Körper 10 ausgebildet und zwischen dem Dichtungsabschnitt 12 und dem Kopfabschnitt 16 angeordnet. Ferner ist das Dichtlippenelement 18 elastisch ausgebildet und dichtet bei Anbringung eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 an den Messstellen 5a und 5b die jeweilige Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 ab. Die Figuren 11 und 12 zeigen jeweilige Schnittansichten des Verschlusselements, wobei die Schnittebenen B-B und C-C aus der Draufsicht aus Figur 10 hervorgehen.The measuring connector 6 extends in the direction of the external line component measuring opening 9 and has the end Inner line component measuring opening 7. A respective closure element 2, which is used universally for sealing both measuring points 5a and 5b, but in particular for sealing a respective measuring point 5a, has an elongated body 10. This is because when the closure element 2 is attached to the respective measuring point 5a of the external line component 3, this elongated body 10 extends, at least in sections, into the measuring connector 6. When attached, the closure element 2 seals off the entire measuring point 5a according to the invention. This means that the closure element 2 seals both the outer line component measuring opening 9 and the inner line component measuring opening 7, for example from the Figures 3, 4 , 14, 15 and 16 can be seen for both exemplary embodiments. The closure element 2 is shown in detail for various views in FIGS Figures 7 to 12 shown. A sealing section 12 is formed at a first longitudinal end 11 of the elongated body 10 of a respective closure element 2 (see, for example, FIG Figures 9, 11 or 12 ). When the respective closure element 2 is attached to an assigned measuring point 5a, the sealing section 12 is arranged within the measuring port 6, as is the case with FIGS Figures 3, 4 , 14, 15 and 16 demonstrate. To seal off the measuring port 6, the sealing section 12 has a total of four sealing lips 14, which are offset circumferentially around the elongated body 10 in the longitudinal direction of the elongated body 10. Alternatively, only a single sealing lip 14 could be formed on the elongated body 10. The respective sealing lips 14 are designed to be elastically deformable, so that when the closure element 2 is inserted into the outer line component measuring opening 9 of the measuring point 5a, the sealing section 12 is inserted into the inner line component opening 7 of the measuring connector 6, which extends in alignment with the outer component measuring opening 9, and thereby the inner line component opening 7 seals. To improve the Handling the closure element 2 when it is mounted on or dismantled from the external line component 3, a respective closure element 2 has a head section 16 at a second longitudinal end 15 of the elongated body 10, which ensures simple manual handling of the closure element 2. The head section 16 has a larger cross section 17 compared to the elongated body 10. Furthermore, a sealing lip element 18 is integrally formed on the elongated body 10 of a respective closure element 2. The sealing lip element 18 is formed circumferentially around the elongated body 10 and is arranged between the sealing section 12 and the head section 16. Furthermore, the sealing lip element 18 is designed to be elastic and, when a respective closure element 2 is attached to the measuring points 5a and 5b, seals the respective external line component measuring opening 9. the Figures 11 and 12 show respective sectional views of the closure element, the sectional planes BB and CC from the top view Figure 10 emerge.

Ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 ist mit Hilfe eines Verriegelungsmechanismus 19 (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 15) lösbar an dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 fixierbar. Dementsprechend ist das Verschlusselement 2 zur lösbaren Fixierung an dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 aus einer Öffnungsstellung (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 19), in welcher ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 von den Messstellen 5a, 5b entfernbar und aus der zugeordneten Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 herausziehbar ist, in eine Verriegelungsstellung (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 15) bewegbar, in welcher eine Bewegung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 aus der zugeordneten Außenbauleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 heraus mit Hilfe des Verriegelungsmechanismus 19 blockiert ist. Dabei ist die Bewegung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 zwischen der Öffnungsstellung und der Verriegelungsstellung eine Drehbewegung, wobei das Verschlusselement 2 zur Montage in eine Außenbauteilleitungsöffnung 9 eingesteckt und zur Demontage aus dieser herausgezogen wird.A respective closure element 2 is secured with the aid of a locking mechanism 19 (see for example Figure 15 ) releasably fixable on the external line component 3. Accordingly, the closure element 2 for detachable fixation on the external line component 3 is out of an open position (see, for example Figure 19 ), in which a respective closure element 2 can be removed from the measuring points 5a, 5b and pulled out of the associated external line component measuring opening 9, into a locking position (see for example Figure 15 ) movable, in which a movement of the respective closure element 2 out of the associated external construction line component measuring opening 9 is blocked with the aid of the locking mechanism 19. The movement of the respective closure element 2 between the open position and the locking position is a rotary movement, with the closure element 2 for assembly in a Outer component line opening 9 is inserted and pulled out of this for dismantling.

Der Verriegelungsmechanismus 19 umfasst zwei Verriegelungsansätze 20a und 20b (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 8, 11 und 15), die an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 ausgebildet sind. Die zwei Verriegelungsansätze 20a, 20b sind diametral zueinander an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 angeformt und zwischen dem Dichtlippenelement 18 und dem Dichtungsabschnitt 12 an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 angeordnet. Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, dass nur ein Verriegelungsansatz an dem langgestreckten Körper 10 eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 ausgebildet ist. Denn es ist ausreichend, wenn nur einer der Verriegelungsansätze 20a, 20b in Verriegelungsstellung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 den Rand 21 der zugeordneten Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 hintergreift (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 15). Ferner dient bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen einer der beiden Verriegelungsansätze 20b dazu, das Erreichen der Verriegelungsstellung spürbar für einen Bediener anzuzeigen. Denn an einer jeweiligen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 ist ein Anschlagbereich 23 ausgebildet, an welchem der eine der beiden Verriegelungsansätze 20b in Verriegelungsstellung eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 anliegt, was in Figur 17 gezeigt ist, wobei in Figur 18 durch das Weglassen des Verschlusselements 2 der Anschlagbereich 23 der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 zu erkennen ist. Die jeweiligen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnungen 9 weisen jeweils einen erweiterten Bereich 22 auf (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 6 und 18), der für die Demontage eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 bzw. zur Probe-Entnahme von Bedeutung ist. In Öffnungsstellung eines jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 sind die beiden Verriegelungsansätze 20a, 20b fluchtend zu dem erweiterten Bereich der jeweiligen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 angeordnet, so dass das Verschlusselement 2 aus der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 herausgezogen werden kann.The locking mechanism 19 comprises two locking lugs 20a and 20b (see for example Figures 8, 11 and 15th ), which are formed on the elongated body 10 of a respective closure element 2. The two locking lugs 20a, 20b are formed diametrically to one another on the elongated body 10 and are arranged between the sealing lip element 18 and the sealing section 12 on the elongated body 10. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that only one locking projection is formed on the elongated body 10 of a respective closure element 2. This is because it is sufficient if only one of the locking lugs 20a, 20b engages behind the edge 21 of the associated external line component measuring opening 9 in the locking position of the respective closure element 2 (see, for example, FIG Figure 15 ). Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiments shown, one of the two locking lugs 20b serves to noticeably indicate to an operator that the locking position has been reached. This is because a stop region 23 is formed on a respective external line component measuring opening 9, against which one of the two locking lugs 20b rests in the locking position of a respective closure element 2, which is shown in FIG Figure 17 is shown, where in Figure 18 By omitting the closure element 2, the stop region 23 of the external line component measuring opening 9 can be seen. The respective external line component measuring openings 9 each have an enlarged area 22 (see, for example Figures 6 and 18th ), which is important for dismantling a respective closure element 2 or for taking samples. In the open position of a respective closure element 2, the two locking lugs 20a, 20b are arranged in alignment with the widened area of the respective external line component measuring opening 9, so that the Closure element 2 can be pulled out of the outer line component measuring opening 9.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 und dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 ein Spalt 24 ausgebildet, wenn ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 in eine zugeordnete Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 einer Messstelle 5a eingesteckt ist und der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 des langgestreckten Körpers 10 in dem Messstutzen 6 abdichtend angeordnet ist, wie aus den Figuren 4, 5, 15 und 16 zu entnehmen ist. Sollte der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 seine Dichtfunktion nicht mehr erfüllen können, so strömt das durch das Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömende Fluid nicht in die äußere Umgebung sondern in das Außenleitungsbauteil 3, was die Sicherheit des Messstellen-Systems 1 gegenüber bekannten Systemen deutlich erhöht. Wie in den Ausführungsbeispielen gezeigt ist, endet ein jeweiliger Messstutzen 6 in einem vorgegebenen Abstand 25 zu der zugeordneten Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9, wobei dies nicht zwingend erforderlich ist, denn der Messstutzen 6 könnte auch innerhalb der Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 enden, solange das Dichtlippenelement 18 die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 abdichtet und ein Spalt 24 zwischen dem Messstutzen 6 und dem Dichtlippenelement 18 vorhanden ist, durch welchen das in dem Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömende Fluid aus dem Messstutzen 6 in den Raum zwischen dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 und dem Innenleitungsbauteil 4 strömen kann.According to the invention, a gap 24 is formed between the inner line component measuring opening 7 and the outer line component 3 when a respective closure element 2 is inserted into an assigned outer line component measuring opening 9 of a measuring point 5a and the sealing section 12 of the elongated body 10 is sealingly arranged in the measuring port 6, as shown in FIGS Figures 4, 5 , 15th and 16 can be found. If the sealing section 12 can no longer fulfill its sealing function, the fluid flowing through the inner line component 4 does not flow into the external environment but into the outer line component 3, which significantly increases the safety of the measuring point system 1 compared to known systems. As shown in the exemplary embodiments, a respective measuring nozzle 6 ends at a predetermined distance 25 from the associated external line component measuring opening 9, although this is not absolutely necessary, because the measuring nozzle 6 could also end inside the external line component measuring opening 9 as long as the sealing lip element 18 seals the external line component measuring opening 9 and there is a gap 24 between the measuring connector 6 and the sealing lip element 18, through which the fluid flowing in the inner line component 4 can flow from the measuring connector 6 into the space between the outer line component 3 and the inner line component 4.

Damit ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 in seiner Verriegelungsstellung angeordnet verbleibt, weist ein jeweiliger Verriegelungsansatz 20a, 20b eine Haltefläche 26 (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 9 und 19), die radial endseitig an einem jeweiligen Verriegelungsansatz 20a, 20b angeordnet ist, und eine jeweilige Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 innenseitig des Außenleitungsbauteils 3 ein Blockierungsansatz 27 (siehe Figuren 18 und 19) auf. Wenn ein jeweiliges Verschlusselement 2 (unabhängig davon, ob es an der Messstelle 5a oder 5b zur Abdichtung einer jeweiligen Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 an dieser verriegelt werden soll) aus seiner Öffnungsstellung (diese ist in Figur 19 gezeigt) in seine Verriegelungsstellung (diese ist in Figur 17 gezeigt) gedreht wird, dann bewegt sich der Bereich vor der Haltefläche 26 über den Blockierungsansatz 27 hinweg. In Verriegelungsstellung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 liegt dann die schräg ausgebildete Haltefläche 26 an dem Blockierungsansatz 27 an, wobei durch die schräg ausgebildete Haltefläche 26 der Blockierungsansatz 27 eine Bewegung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 in Richtung der Öffnungsstellung blockiert. Damit der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 und das Dichtlippenelement 18 des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 bei einer Bewegung des Verschlusselements 2 aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung dichtend an der Innenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 7 und der Außenbauteilmessöffnung 9 dichtend anliegen, weist ein jeweiliger Verriegelungsansatz 20a, 20b eine ansteigende Anzugfläche 28 auf, an die sich die Haltefläche 26 anschließt, die in Bezug auf die ansteigende Anzugfläche 28 abfallend ausgebildet ist. Folglich muss ein Bediener bei der Drehbewegung des Verschlusselements 2 aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung eine zunehmende Kraft aufwenden, um die Anzugfläche 28 über den Blockierungsansatz 27 hinweg zu bewegen. Mit anderen Worten bewegt sich zur Fixierung des jeweiligen Verschlusselements 2 an dem Außenleitungsbauteil 3 bei Bewegung des wenigstens einen Verschlusselements 2 aus der Öffnungsstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung die ansteigende Anzugfläche 28 über den Blockierungsansatz 27, wobei der Blockierungsansatz 27 dabei das zugeordnete Verschlusselement 2 in Richtung des Innenleitungsbauteils 4 drängt.So that a respective closure element 2 remains arranged in its locking position, a respective locking projection 20a, 20b has a holding surface 26 (see, for example, FIG Figures 9 and 19th ), which is arranged radially at the end on a respective locking projection 20a, 20b, and a respective external line component measuring opening 9 on the inside of the external line component 3, a blocking projection 27 (see FIG Figures 18 and 19 ) on. If a respective closure element 2 (regardless of whether it is at the measuring point 5a or 5b for Sealing of a respective external line component measuring opening 9 is to be locked at this) from its open position (this is in Figure 19 shown) in its locking position (this is in Figure 17 shown) is rotated, then the area in front of the holding surface 26 moves over the blocking lug 27. In the locking position of the respective closure element 2, the inclined holding surface 26 then rests against the blocking projection 27, with the blocking projection 27 blocking a movement of the respective closure element 2 in the direction of the open position through the inclined holding surface 26. So that the sealing section 12 and the sealing lip element 18 of the respective closure element 2, when the closure element 2 moves from the open position into the locking position, make a sealing contact with the inner line component measuring opening 7 and the outer component measuring opening 9, a respective locking projection 20a, 20b has a rising tightening surface 28 which is connected to the holding surface 26, which is designed to be sloping in relation to the rising tightening surface 28. Consequently, when the closure element 2 is rotated from the open position into the locking position, an operator has to exert increasing force in order to move the attraction surface 28 over the blocking projection 27. In other words, to fix the respective closure element 2 on the outer line component 3, when the at least one closure element 2 moves from the open position into the locking position, the rising tightening surface 28 moves over the blocking projection 27, the blocking projection 27 thereby moving the associated closure element 2 in the direction of the inner line component 4 urges.

Es sei angemerkt, dass der Dichtungsabschnitt 12 mit wenigstens einer Dichtlippe 14 so ausgebildet sein kann, dass ein durch die Außenleitungsbauteilmessöffnung 9 in den Messstutzen 6 eingesteckter Dichtungsabschnitt 12 derart kraftschlüssig mit dem Messstutzen 6 verbunden sein kann, dass die Haltekraft der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung die Dichtheit des Messstellen-Systems 1 gewährleistet, ohne dass dazu eine Verriegelung des Verschlusselements 2 notwendig ist.It should be noted that the sealing section 12 can be designed with at least one sealing lip 14 in such a way that a sealing section 12 inserted through the external line component measuring opening 9 into the measuring connector 6 can be non-positively connected to the measuring stub 6 so that the holding force of the non-positive connection ensures the tightness of the measuring point system 1 without locking the closure element 2 being necessary for this.
