Description

AIR TANK FOR A VEHICLE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to an air tank for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
[0002] CN 203381578 U shows an air storage tank for a tractor. Furthermore, US 2001/0054613 Al shows a plastic fuel tank consisting of two halves connected to one another. Moreover, US 4 667 841 shows an improved tank of the type including half-shells assembled together with a diaphragm separating an internal space into fluid chambers and a connecting ring.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide an air tank for a vehicle such that the air tank can be manufactured and mounted in a particularly easy way.
[0004] This object is solved by an air tank for a vehicle having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient developments of the invention are indicated in the other patent claims.
[0005] The invention relates to an air tank for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle. The air tank comprises a receiving space for receiving pressurized air. For example, the pressurized air received in the receiving space may be used to actuate a pneumatic brake system of the vehicle. For example, the pneumatic brake system is a service brake which is also referred to as a driving brake or main brake. The air tank according to the present invention comprises a first shell element which is formed in one piece. The first shell element is also formed as a first stamped sheet metal part having at least one first part portion formed as a flange. The first stamped sheet metal part further at least has one second part portion adjoining the first part portion. The second part portion bounds or limits a first space portion of the receiving space.
[0006] Furthermore, the air tank comprises a second shell element which is formed in one piece. The second shell element is also formed as a second stamped sheet metal part having at least one third part portion which is formed as a second flange. Additionally, the second stamped sheet metal part has at least one fourth part portion adjoining the third part portion. Since the first shell element is formed in one piece, the first part portion is formed in one piece with a second part portion. Moreover, since the second shell element is formed in one piece, the third part portion is formed in one piece with a fourth part portion. The fourth part portion bounds or limits a second space portion of the receiving space. Preferably, the complete receiving space is formed or made up by the first and second space portions such that, for example, the first space portion is a first half of the receiving space, and the second space portion is a or the second half of the receiving space. The shell elements per se are separately manufactured components which are connected with each other via the flanges. In other words, in a method for manufacturing the air tank, the shell elements are provided as separate components which are initially not connected with each other. Thereupon, the initially separate components (i.e. the shell elements) are connected with each other in such a way that the flanges are connected with each other thereby assembling the shell elements. Preferably, the assembled shell elements together bound or limit the complete receiving space of the air tank.
[0007] The second part portion and the fourth part portion respectively each have an efficient volumetric shape for storing the pressurized air or another fluid in the receiving space and thus in the respective space portions. Additionally, the first part portion and the third part portion, respectively each form matching flanges for effective connecting, in particular welding, to provide sufficient mechanical seal so that the fluid received in the receiving space cannot flow through the shell elements and into the surroundings of the air tank. Moreover, the flanges allow for a sufficient mechanical mounting of the fully-laden tank which, preferably, may be an air tank for receiving and storing air. Alternatively, the tank may be a fluid tank for receiving and storing a fluid, in particular a gas or liquid, in the receiving space. Said flanges allow for the air tank to be attached to simple brackets or to a bottom of a battery box, in particular with spaces. Conventionally, air tanks are cradled with separate brackets and straps. In contrast to conventional air tanks, the air tank according to the present invention may be mounted to a component such as a battery box or a frame of the vehicle with welded parts and without any strap. Moreover, the respective flange may have at least one mounting point or a plurality of mounting points allowing the air tank to be mounted to said component in a particularly easy and cost-effective way.
[0008] The flanges of the shell elements may form a single flange piece. In other words, the flanges of the shell elements may be melted into a single flange piece through welding, and therefore encircle or encompass the receiving space being a pressure volume in which a pressurized fluid such as said pressurized air may be received and stored. In the air tank according to the present invention there would be no need for any additional bladder to prevent leakage. In comparison with conventional tanks, the air tank according to the present invention has the following advantages: fewer parts for tank fabrication, simplified tank fabrication, fewer parts for tank mounting and simplified tank mounting.
[0009] Further advantages, features, and details of the invention derive from the following description of preferred embodiment as well as from the drawings. The features and feature combinations previously mentioned in the description as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned in the following description of the figures and/or shown in the figures alone may be employed not only in the respectively indicated combination but also in any other combination or taken alone without leaving the scope of the invention.

[0011] Fig. 2 shows part of a schematic perspective view of a mounting arrangement of the air tank on a frame of a commercial vehicle.
[0012] Fig. 3 shows a schematic, sectional and perspective view of the air tank. [0013] Fig. 4 shows part of a sectional view of the air tank.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] In the figures the same elements or elements having the same function are indicated by the same reference signs.
[0015] Fig. 1 shows, in a schematic perspective view, an air tank 10 for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle. This means, for example, the vehicle, in its completely assembled state, comprises the air tank 10. Moreover, for example, the vehicle may comprise a component such as a frame 12 (Fig. 2). In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the frame 12 is a ladder frame comprising two longitudinal members which are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the vehicle. One of said longitudinal members of the frame 12 is partially depicted in Fig. 2 and indicated by 14. Preferably, the frame 12 comprises at least one cross member by which the longitudinal members are connected with each other. In this regard, the cross member is arranged between the longitudinal members in the transverse direction of the vehicle, wherein the cross member is connected with both longitudinal members.
[0016] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the air tank 10 comprises at least one receiving space for receiving pressurized air. Preferably, the pressurized air received and thus stored in the receiving space 15 may be used to actuate a pneumatic brake system of the vehicle. For example, by pneumatically actuating the brake system, the vehicle is decelerated (i.e. braked). Moreover, the air tank 10 comprises two shell elements 16 and 18. The shell element 16 is also referred to as a first shell element, wherein the shell element 18 is also referred to as a second shell element. In Fig. 3, an area of the air tank 10 is indicated by B, wherein said area B is shown in greater detail in Fig. 4.
[0017] The first shell element 16 is formed in one piece, wherein the first shell element 16 is also formed as a first stamped sheet metal part. The first stamped sheet metal part and thus the shell element 16 have at least one first part portion 20 which is formed as a first flange Fl. The first stamped sheet metal part further has at least one second part portion 22 directly adjoining the first part portion 20, wherein the second part portion 22 is formed such that the second part portion 22 bounds or limits a first space portion P1 of the receiving space 15. The first part portion 20 may continuously and thus uninterruptedly encompass the complete second part portion 22 in the circumferential direction of the second part portion 22. Furthermore, the second shell element 18 is formed in one piece, wherein the second shell element 18 is also formed as a second stamped sheet metal part. The second stamped sheet metal part (shell element 18) has at least one third part portion 24 which is formed as a second flange F2. Additionally, the second stamped sheet metal part (shell element 18) has at least one fourth part portion 26 directly adjoining the third part portion 24. The fourth part portion 26 bounds or limits a second space portion P2 of the receiving space 15. In the embodiment shown in the Figs., the space portions P1 and P2 are respective halves of the receiving space 15. This means, the receiving space 15 is formed by two halves, wherein the space portion P1 is a first one of said halves, and the space portion P2 is the second half. Thus, the receiving space 15 is completely formed by the space portions P1 and P2. Additionally, the shell elements 16 and 18 are separately manufactured components which are connected with each other via the flanges Fl and F2. As described above with respect to the part portions 21 and 22, the third part portion 24 continuously or uninterruptedly encircles or encompasses the complete fourth part portion 26 in the circumferential direction of the fourth part portion 26, wherein the circumferential direction of the part portion 26 coincides with the circumferential direction of the part portion 22.
[0018] The shell elements 16 and 18 are connected with each other via the flanges Fl and E2 in such a way that the flanges Fl and E2 are directly connected with each other. Preferably, the flanges Fl and F2 are directly welded together thereby sealing the receiving space 15 in a particularly effective and easy way. Preferably, the flanges Fl and F2 contact each other directly.
[0019] The flanges Fl and F2 each comprise a first sub portion SP1 which is configured as a mounting area. Furthermore, the respective flanges Fl and F2 each comprise a respective second sub portion SP2 which, preferably, adjoins the respective first sub portion SP1 directly. The respective second sub portion SP2 is configured as a connecting flange portion, in particular, as a welding flange portion, such that, preferably, the flanges Fl and F2 are connected with each other via their sub portions SP1, SP2. In other words, the sub portions SP2 are, in particular, directly welded together such that the flanges Fl, E2 are welded together via the sub portions SP2.
[0020] In the respective first sub portion SP1, the respective flange El, E2 comprises a plurality of connecting elements 28. In the embodiment shown in the Figs., the respective connecting element 28 is configured as an opening, in particular as a through opening through which a screw may be inserted. For example, the screw may be screwed with a nut. Thereby, for example, the shell elements 16 and 18 may be connected with each other, in particular by screwing.
[0021] Preferably, the shell elements 16 and 18 are welded together via the flanges Fl and F2, in particular via the sub portions SP2. Thereby, the shell elements 16 and 18 may be connected with each other and the receiving space 15 may be sealed in a particularly easy and cost-effective way.
[0022] In the embodiment shown in the Figs., the first sheet metal part comprises a fifth part portion 32 adjoining the part portion 20 and thus the flange Fl in such a way that the part portion 20 (flange Fl) is arranged between the part portion 32 and the part portion 22. Furthermore, the second stamped sheet metal part comprises a sixth part portion 34 adjoining the part portion 24 and thus the flange F2 in such a way that the part portion 24 (flange F2) is arranged between the part portion 34 and the part portion 26. In the embodiment shown in the Figs., the respective part portion 32, 34 may have a curved shape. Thus, the part portion 32 extends obliquely relative to the part portion 20 (flange F1), and the part portion 34 extends obliquely relative to the part portion 24 (flange F2). Furthermore, the shell element 16 is arranged on a first side Si of the flange element 18, and the shell element 18 is arranged on a second side 52 of the shell element 16, said sides Si and S2 facing each other. As shown in Fig. 4, the part portion 32 extends away from the side S2, and the part portion 34 extends away from the side Si such that the part portions 32 and 34 extend away from each other. The part portions 32 and 34 are extra parent material M on the flanges Fl and F2 or adjoining the flanges Fl and F2 to provide sufficient mechanical mounting of the fully-laden tank 10 on the vehicle. For example, further parent material on or off the shell element 18 is indicated by M2 in Fig. 4.
[0023] Fig. 2 shows a mounting arrangement 36 of the air tank 10 on the frame 12 and thus on the vehicle. In the mounting arrangement 36, the air tank 10 is mounted on the frame 12 by brackets 38 which are separately manufactured from the tank 10 and separately manufactured from each other. The respective bracket 38 is connected with the air tank 10 by the connecting elements 28 of the shell elements 16 and 18. In this regard, a screw may be inserted through overlapping through openings of the flanges H and F2 and through a corresponding, third through opening of the respective bracket 38, wherein the through openings through which said screw may be inserted overlap each other. Furthermore, the screw penetrating the through openings of the flanges F1 and F2 and the through opening of the respective bracket 38 may be screwed with a nut thereby tightening the respective bracket 38 to the air tank 10. Thereby, the brackets 38 are connected with the air tank 10. Said through openings of the bracket 38 is indicated by 40 in Fig. 2. The respective bracket 38 may comprise further connecting elements 42 by means the respective bracket 38 may be connected with a frame 12. For example, the respective connecting element 42 may be a further through opening through which a screw may be inserted such that the respective bracket 38 may be screwed and thereby mounted to the frame 12. Thus, the air tank 10 may be mounted to the frame 12 via the brackets 38. As shown in Fig. 1, a first subset of the through openings of the flanges Fl and F2 are arranged along a first straight line, wherein a second subset of the through openings of the flanges Fl and F2 are arranged along a second straight line, wherein the first subset comprises a first plurality of the through openings of the flanges Fl and E2 and the second subset comprises a second plurality of the through openings of the flanges Fl and E2. In the embodiments shown in the Figs., the subsets are arranged on opposed sides S3 and S4 of the air tank 10 such that the air tank 10 may be connected with mounting elements such as the brackets 38 in a need-based manner. The subsets allow for connecting the air tank 10 with the brackets 38 in different positions along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal member 14 such that the air tank 10 may be positioned relative to the longitudinal member 14 in a need-based manner.
