Description

Distributors for generating aerosols, systems for sealing vehicle pneumatic tires and for inflating vehicle pneumatic tires, and methods for sealing vehicle pneumatic tires or inflatable technical rubber articles, and Use of a distribution unit to generate aerosol.

The present invention is a distributor for generating an aerosol containing both a gas and a sealant , comprising at least one gas connector for connecting to at least one compressed gas source and at least one sealant container . It relates to a distributor comprising at least one sealant connector for connecting and one or more connecting elements for connecting to a vehicle pneumatic tire. The present invention also comprises a system for sealing a vehicle pneumatic tire and for inflating the vehicle pneumatic tire, a method for sealing the vehicle pneumatic tire or an inflatable technical article, and for generating an aerosol. With respect to the use of the distribution unit.

In the case of tire-related failures, in general, for example, as is customary in passenger cars, a spare tire filled with air and attached to the wheel rim must be installed and replaced when the tire punctures. There is the problem of having to. After that, the defective punctured tire must be fixed in the loading space provided for the spare tire in the vehicle and repaired later. To do this, the car's luggage must be cleared, and the vehicle itself must be jacked up with jacks for painstaking repair work in order to reach the corresponding spare wheel loading space.

To avoid these shortcomings, repair kits or failure response kits for temporary tire repairs have been known for many years, and this kit includes compressors, sealants , corresponding connection hoses and cable connections required for power supplies. It also comprises control elements for workers and thus constitutes a complete, permanently usable repair kit that replaces spare wheels.

In the case of such a known failure response kit, when a tire-related failure occurs, the sealant is carried from the corresponding sealant container to the damaged tire after the air compressor is started. In the second process step, the damaged tire is filled with air to a certain minimum pressure. In conventional systems, this refilling of the tire is done to address the exhaust of air from the leak point in the tire. The leak point can only be sealed after inflating the punctured tire to a stable minimum pressure and then traveling forward with the inflated tire. For this reason, it has been almost impossible to seal the leaked part of the tire without moving the tire and distribute the sealing agent to the tire.

As mentioned above, forward running and therefore tire movement is only possible when a certain minimum pressure is obtained within the tire. Depending on the size of the tire leak, tire sealing could not be possible in previous failure situations due to the lack of established minimum required pressure. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to seal a tire with a leak even if a specific minimum pressure is not first established.

The following points are already known in the prior art.

German Patent Application Publication No. 10201620930 2 states, "A method for sealing an inflatable article and inflating an inflatable article , particularly for sealing an automotive tire and inflating an automotive tire . A compressor driven by an electric motor preferably generates sealing and delivery pressures, and the sealing and delivery pressures are via valves and distributors for the sealant and compressed air, and between the valves and distributors. Through the compressed air and sealant hose and the inlet valve or inlet nozzle of the inflatable article, the sealant in the sealant container connected to the valve and distributor is carried into the inflatable article at the same time. A method of sealing an inflatable article and inflating it to a predetermined operating pressure ”is disclosed (see claim 1).

German Patent Application Publication No. 102016209302

The problem addressed by the present invention is that the pneumatic tire or inflatable technical rubber article does not need to be moved to the pneumatic tire or inflatable technical rubber article and / or the pneumatic tire for vehicle. Includes providing a device capable of at least partially sealing without the presence of a minimum pressure in an inflatable technical rubber article.

This problem, according to the present invention, is a distributor for generating an aerosol containing both a gas and a sealant .
-With at least one gas connector for connecting to at least one compressed air source ,
-With at least one sealant connector for connecting to at least one sealant container ,
-Distribution for measuring the amount of sealant supplied to the distributor in an appropriate amount in a distributor that includes one or more connecting elements for connecting to pneumatic tires for automobiles or inflatable technical rubber articles. It is solved by a distribution device characterized by having a unit.

Surprisingly, in the course of the applicants' own research, the tire leak point is that an aerosol containing a gas, eg, both air and a sealant, is introduced or delivered into the tire with the leak point. It was found that the tire could be sealed at least partially. The leak point of the tire causes a flow of aerosol from the inlet from which the aerosol is introduced into the tire to the leak point of the tire from which the aerosol mainly leaks gas or only gas. This inlet is usually located at the inner end of the tire valve.

Here, the sealant particles of the aerosol from the distributor according to the present invention adhere to the wall of the leaked portion and thus at least partially seal the leaked portion. If the aerosol flow to the tire leak point by the distributor according to the invention continues for a sufficient length of time, the tire leak point is often sufficient, especially if the aerosol yield of the sealant is sufficiently good. ,
-Can be completely sealed, or-at least to the extent that the minimum pressure required for forward travel with partially sealed tires is achieved.

This is advantageously achieved without moving the tire itself. Forward travel can therefore distribute the sealant remaining on the tire at the start, thus completely or further sealing the remaining leak points on the tire. With respect to the present invention, the pneumatic tire for a vehicle is preferably an pneumatic tire for an automobile.

Surprisingly, in the course of the applicants' own studies described above or below, the above-mentioned aerosols are limited by accurately weighing the amount of sealant supplied to the distributor per unit time. It has been found that it can be manufactured only in cases or especially in such cases.

The distribution unit of the distribution device according to the present invention is therefore particularly preferably a distribution unit for limiting the amount of sealing agent supplied to the sealing agent transport channel.

If too much sealant is supplied to the distributor at one time, the aerosol yield will be significantly reduced or, in the worst case, no more aerosol will be formed. As a result, the sealant can pass through the punctured tire in the form of large, unsuspended sealant droplets . This is disadvantageous for three reasons:
1. 1. In this way, it is not possible to seal a leak that is not at the bottom of the punctured tire, which is the collection point for unsuspended droplets .
2. 2. 2. The compressor must be operated for a relatively long time to achieve the minimum pressure, and 3. The unsuspended sealant droplets are not suitable for sealing the leak on its side wall.

Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the amount of sealant supplied to the distributor in an appropriate amount to ensure that sufficient aerosol is obtained to seal the pneumatic tire for the vehicle or the inflatable technical rubber article.

In the context of the present invention, the term "dispersion" refers to a mixture of at least two substances in different phases, such as a solid liquid or solid gas or a mixture of liquid gases. With respect to the present invention, the term "aerosol" refers to a special dispersion in which a gas forms a continuous phase and a liquid in the form of aerosol particles forms a dispersed phase. With respect to the present invention, the aerosol is preferably a special dispersion in which the gas forms a continuous phase and the liquid in the form of aerosol particles forms a dispersed phase, with at least one aerosol particle having a particle size of up to 100 μm. The particle size of at least some of the aerosol particles is up to 100 μm, and very particularly preferably the particle size of at least a majority of the number of aerosol particles is up to 100 μm or 500 μm. The total particle size of the aerosol particles is up to 100 μm or 500 μm. With respect to the present invention, an aerosol is particularly preferably a special dispersion in which a gas forms a continuous layer and a liquid in the form of aerosol particles forms a suspension dispersion layer, wherein the particle size of at least one aerosol particle is. The maximum particle size is 100 μm, particularly preferably at least some of the aerosol particles have a maximum particle size of 100 μm, and very particularly preferably at least a majority of the number of aerosol particles has a maximum particle size of 100 μm. The total particle size of the aerosol particles is 100 μm at the maximum.

With respect to the present invention, the aerosol yield of the sealant is the ratio of the total mass of the generated aerosol sealant particles to the total mass of the sealant used . Therefore, 100% aerosol yield means that the total mass of the sealant has been converted to aerosol.

As mentioned above, with respect to the present invention, the above-mentioned aerosol can be generated by measuring the amount of the sealing agent supplied to the distributor according to the present invention to an appropriate amount by a special method, that is, the amount of the sealing agent supplied is. Not only is it controlled, but the amount of sealant entering the gas stream is weighed appropriately so that the aerosol particles are formed from the sealant droplets in the gas stream flowing in from the gas connector. Both the amount of the sealing agent and the properties of the additive to be weighed appropriately are realized by the distribution unit of the distribution device according to the present invention with respect to the present invention.

With respect to the present invention, the aerosol gas is preferably a carrier gas that constitutes the continuous phase of the aerosol and transports the aerosol particles. The carrier gas of the aerosol is, for example, compressed air from a compressor or any other compressed air source. The terms "gas" and "carrier gas" are used interchangeably with respect to the present invention.

Preferred are the distributors according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the distributor provides at least one sealant transport channel for transporting the aerosol from the dispensing unit to one or more connector elements. Preferably, the sealant transport channel spatially connects the gas connector to the sealant connector and one or more connecting elements. Therefore, the sealant transport channel preferably comprises one or more bifurcation points and channel sections.

With respect to the present invention, the term "spatial connection / spatial connection" means that the various connectors or channel sections are composed of a flow of compressed air and / or a dispersion, preferably air and a sealant. It means that the aerosol is oriented so that it can be moved from one channel section or connector to another.

Particularly preferred is the dispensing device according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the dispensing unit is capable of forming aerosol particles in the flow of gas in which the sealant supplied to the dispensing device flows in from the gas connector. As such, it is preferably formed so that a gas stream can be formed within the sealant transport channel.

The advantages of the above aspects of the invention are the above conditions of commonly used air flow from the compressor, commonly used sealant transport channels and commonly used sealant containers. And the aerosol particles can be generated from the sealant in the sealant transport channel of the distributor according to the invention in a particularly effective manner.

Preferred are the distributors according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the dispensing unit is located within the sealant connector or in contact with the sealant connector or between the sealant connector and the sealant channel. And / or the distributor has a sealant transport channel for transporting the aerosol from the dispensing unit to one or more connector elements. The dispensing unit is particularly preferably up to 10 cm downstream of the sealant connector in the supply direction, very particularly preferably up to 5 cm downstream of the sealant connector in the supply direction, and particularly very particularly preferably in the supply direction . It is placed up to 2 cm downstream of.

With respect to the present invention, the sealant transport channel of the distributor according to the present invention is:
A length in the range of -10 mm to 10000 mm, preferably in the range of 10 mm to 1000 mm, particularly preferably in the range of 10 mm to 600 mm, and / or-in the range of 0.1 mm to 100 mm, preferably in the range of 1 mm to 20 mm, particularly preferably. It has an inner diameter in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm.

One advantage of one of the two embodiments described above is that a particularly compact and space-saving arrangement of sealant connectors, distribution units, gas connectors and sealant transport channels can be achieved without compromising aerosol yields. The compact and space-saving configuration of the distributor according to the present invention has, in particular, the advantage that the aerosol particles formed cannot aggregate or otherwise grow in size before they enter the leaking tire.

Preferred are the distributors according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the dispensing unit has at least one supply port for supplying the sealant into the distributor, preferably into the sealant transport channel. And preferably one or at least one of them has a diameter in the range of 0.01 mm to 10 mm, preferably a diameter in the range of 0.1 mm to 5 mm, particularly preferably 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. It has a diameter in the range of, very particularly preferably in the range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

One advantage of the aforementioned embodiment is that such a supply port allows aerosol particles to be generated from the sealant in the sealant transport channel in a particularly effective manner.

Particularly preferred are the distributors according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the dispensing unit has at least one supply port for supplying the sealant to the distributor .
-One supply port has a diameter in the range of 0.1 mm to 5 mm, or-preferably at least one supply port has a diameter in the range of 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. The number is in the range of 1 to 5 or 1 to 2, or-particularly preferably the at least one supply port has a diameter in the range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm and the number of supply ports. Is at least 2, or is in the range of 2 to 10, preferably in the range of 3 to 5.

For the present invention, the feed port can also have a non-circular shape and accordingly have a specific diagonal instead of diameter. For example, if the supply port has a polygonal shape, the diameter is replaced with a diagonal such as a quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon , or if the shape of the supply port of the distribution unit is triangular, it is replaced with a height. If the supply port has an asymmetrical shape, the diameter or diagonal is replaced by the distance between the furthest points on the edge of the opening that borders the supply port.

An example of a distribution unit supply port forming an asymmetric shape is, for example, according to the invention, where the distribution unit of the distributor according to the invention is open cell foam plastic and the sealant is through different channels of the open cell foam plastic. This is the case when the amount is appropriately measured by the distribution device. The advantage here is that, depending on the nature of the cell structure, a more uniform delivery rate can be achieved during use when weighing from the sealant container to a suitable amount, thereby reducing the effects of gravity. Because it can be done.

Preferred are the distributors according to the invention described above or as preferred, wherein the dispensing unit is
-An aerosol containing the sealant droplets and the gas is produced , preferably an aerosol containing the sealant droplets and the gas is generated in the sealant transport channel of the distributor according to the invention.

The advantages of the above aspects are
-Number of supply ports,
-Based on the feed port diameter and / or- delivery rate setting, conditions can always be selected to form an aerosol containing sealant droplets and gas. The volumetric flow rate of the sealant is usually determined by the remaining amount of the sealant in the sealant container , and the inner diameter D of the sealant transport channel is difficult to change during the operation of the apparatus according to the present invention, so that the size of the supply port is large. The number or number is a parameter that is relatively easy to control and can be adapted such that the aerosol is preferably formed with a decrease in the amount of sealant in the sealant container , particularly preferably during operation of the apparatus according to the invention. The equation (1) described later can be satisfied. This represents a long-standing need in the art.

The number and / or diameter of the feed ports is preferably not only adjusted to various parameters such as the filling level of the sealant container or the dispensing rate depending on the liquid properties of the sealant such as its viscosity. In order to increase the aerosol yield, the number and / or diameter of the feed ports is also advantageous if it is also matched to the volumetric flow rate from the compressed air source. Adjusting the number and / or diameter of the supply ports can be done more accurately and more quickly than adjusting the compressed air source.

For the above reasons, therefore, a particularly preferable one is the distribution device according to the present invention, and the distribution unit is a distribution unit.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a distributor according to the invention, in which a cross-sectional plane extends along cross-sections AA shown in FIG. An outline of the system according to the present invention connected to a vehicle pneumatic tire via a tire valve is shown.

FIG. 1 is a top view showing a schematic view of the distribution device 1 according to the present invention in the first embodiment, in which the cross-sectional plane is parallel to the transport direction 20 of the aerosol 8 in the sealant transport channel 6 and the sealant . It extends perpendicular to the supply direction 23. The distribution device 1 according to the present invention has a gas connector 2, a sealant connector 3, a tire connector 4, and a sealant transport channel 6. The sealant connector 3 is schematically depicted in the top view, screwing the sealant container (not shown) to the sealant connector 3, whereby the opening of the sealant container opens the supply port 7. It has a ring shape so that it can be positioned above the distribution unit 5 to have. Since the distribution device 1 shown in FIG. 1 does not include an opening unit for opening the sealing agent container, the sealing agent container (not shown) is opened before being fixed to the sealing agent connector 3, and the sealing agent is sealed . It shall be able to flow or be supplied from the agent container into the distributor 1.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the distributor 1 according to the present invention in another embodiment, the cross-sectional plane extending along the cross-sections AA shown in FIG. The distribution device 1 according to the present invention has a gas connector 2, a sealant connector 3, a tire connector (not shown in FIG. 2), and a sealant transport channel 6 having an inner diameter of 14. In FIG. 2, the sealing agent container 12, which is only partially drawn, is screwed to the sealing agent connector 3, and the sealing agent container 12 includes the sealing agent 21 and the protective foil 23. In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 2, the sealant container 12 is screwed to the distributor according to the invention, the protective film 23 is pierced by the opening unit 17, whereby the sealant 21 is the sealant. It can pass from the container 12 to the distribution unit 5 of the distribution device 1 by the action of gravity. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the sealant 21 is supplied to the sealant transport channel 6 in the supply direction 32 using gravity and then sprayed by compressed air 10. Here, the inner diameter 15 of the supply port 7 sets the amount of the sealant supplied to the sealant transport channel 6 so that the aerosol 8 is surely formed in the sealant transport channel 6. Here, the aerosol 8 is composed of aerosol particles 9 and compressed air 10 as a carrier gas, and is transported in the transport direction 20 to a vehicle pneumatic tire (also not shown) via a tire connector (not shown). .. In another embodiment according to the invention, the compressed air 10 is at least partially guided into the sealant container 12, so that a larger amount of sealant per unit time is delivered to the distributor 1 according to the invention. It is also possible to do.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the system 15 according to the present invention in one embodiment. Here, the system 15 according to the present invention includes a compressor 11 as a compressed air source for guiding the compressed air 10 to the distribution device 1 according to the present invention, the distribution device 1 itself according to the present invention, and a sealing agent container 12. In FIG. 3, the compressed air 10 is guided from the compressor 11 to the distributor 1 according to the present invention through the compressed air channel 25, where it collides with the sealant 21, which is subjected to the aerosol particles by the precisely set dispensing unit 5. It is schematically shown to change to aerosol 8 with 9. The aerosol 8 is therefore guided into the vehicle pneumatic tire 16 in the sealant transport channel 6 in the transport direction 20 via the tire connector 4 and via the tire valve 18. Upon reaching the interior of the vehicle pneumatic tire 16, the aerosol creates a sealing pressure in the vehicle pneumatic tire 16 to move the previously existing air through the leak point 24. This process continues until aerosol 8 leaks. Due to the change in flow at the leak point 24, a portion of the aerosol 8 is deposited on the surface of the leak point 24 and thus at least partially seals the leak point 24. Depending on how much aerosol 8 reaches the leak point 24, this process may continue until the leak point 24 is completely sealed by the aerosol 8 with the sealant 21 that has moved to the leak point 24, depending on the situation. obtain.

Test Procedures for Identifying Aerosol Yields The following objects were used to identify aerosol yields for distributors not according to the invention and for distributors according to the invention:
-As an example of the system according to the present invention, a failure response kit under the trade name "ContimobilityKit" of Continental AG,
-Cylindrical recovery container, the height of the cylinder is 23 cm and the upper end of the cylindrical recovery container has an opening of 9 cm.
-Various distribution units with different numbers and / or diameters of feed ports,
-Conventional tire valves without tires, and-Stands for holding the "tire connectors" of failure response kits.

The test procedure of the comparative test is described below. Accordingly, the test according to the invention was carried out in the distributor according to the invention, and unlike the comparative test, each distributor was provided with each one of the quantitative supply units shown in Table 1.

Connect a conventional tire valve to the "tire connector" of the failure response kit as an example of a connecting element for connecting to a vehicle pneumatic tire, and use a stand above the cylindrical collection container of the tire valve. Of these, the end not connected to the tire connector was installed in the center above the opening at the upper end of the cylindrical collection valve so as to face the opening at the upper end of the cylindrical collection container. The distance between the opening at the top of the cylindrical collection container and the end of the tire valve that was not connected to the tire connector corresponded to about 10 cm.

Next, the compressor of the failure response kit was started with a pump pressure of 4 bar and a compressed air flow with a flow rate of about 29 m / s, and 367 g of the conventional sealant (Continental AG's sealant " API ") was replenished. The replenished sealant container is then screwed to the sealant connector of the distributor of the fault response kit, and 376 g of the conventional sealant passes through the sealant transport channel, the tire connector, and the tire valve to collect the container. Made to be transported within. Upon exiting the tire valve, a mixture of sealant droplets of different sizes was formed, which was sprayed towards the recovery vessel by compressed air from the compressor of the failure response kit. When these sealant droplets were small enough to form an aerosol, such sealant droplets were not delivered to the recovery vessel. Instead, the sealant droplets sprayed from the tire valve were forced out and therefore passed through the recovery vessel. The remaining sealant droplets of relatively large diameter were too heavy to be collected in the recovery vessel. When the total amount of 376 g of the conventional sealant was guided through the tire valve, the weight of the sealant droplets collected in the sealant container was measured.

Very generally speaking, it can be said that the larger the amount of the sealant recovered in the recovery container, the smaller the aerosol obtained from the initial 376 g of the conventional sealant , that is, the lower the aerosol yield.

The test procedure described above was carried out correspondingly to the test according to the invention using the distributor according to the invention. In this way, the aerosol yield was specified for each distributor of the fault response kit without a distribution unit (not according to the present invention) and each distributor of the fault response kit with a distribution unit according to the present invention (below). See Table 1 in.).

result

From Table 1, it can be seen that the use of the dispensing unit within the distributor according to the invention used in tests E1, E2 and E3 can achieve a significantly improved aerosol yield _VAB . A particularly significant improvement in aerosol yield _VAB (682%) compared to a distributor without a dispensing unit known in the prior art was achieved in test E3. Here, a distributor according to the invention was used, which had four supply ports, each containing a distribution unit having a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Comparing Test E1 and Test E2, in Test E2, the improved _VAB of aerosol yield from 75% to 141% was realized by the lower distribution rate due to the smaller number of supply ports. I understand. The number of supply ports is the same, and similar findings are obtained for smaller diameters.

In tests E1 and E3, the product of the number of supply ports and the diameter of the supply port was made constant, and the effect of the difference in the diameter of the supply port when the distribution rate was probably constant was investigated. Comparing the tests E1 and E3, it can be seen that even if the area of the supply port is the same, the test E3 was able to realize a significantly improved aerosol yield _VAB . Therefore, from the comparison of Test 1 and E3, it can be seen that the sealant can be effectively converted by the aerosol by using a distribution unit having a supply port having a diameter of less than 1 mm.
