Korte Aanduiding: TankShort Designation: Tank
De uitvinding heeft betrekking op een tank voor vloeibaar gemaakt gas, zoals LPG, o.a. bestemd voor gebruik bij automobielen.The invention relates to a tank for liquefied gas, such as LPG, for instance intended for use in automobiles.
5 , Gebruikelijke tanks van bovengenoemde soort hebben in doorsnede gezien een ronde doorsnede,daar hierbij een gunstige verhouding te verkrijgen is tussen wanddikte en zodoende gewicht van de tank en de sterkte van de tank. Deze vormgeving van de tank is echter minder geschikt voor inbouw bij automobielen,in het bijzonder bij inbouw ter vervanging van 10 de gebruikelijke benzinetank,die veelal onder de kofferbak van het voertuig is gemonteerd.5. Conventional tanks of the above-mentioned type have a round cross-section, as a favorable ratio is hereby obtained between wall thickness and thus weight of the tank and the strength of the tank. However, this design of the tank is less suitable for installation in cars, in particular for installation to replace the usual petrol tank, which is usually mounted under the trunk of the vehicle.
Met de uitvinding wordt beoogd een tank van bovengenoemde soort te verkrijgen,welke onder behoud van een lichte constructie toch een verhou- r dingsgewijs groot volume en een doelmatige vormgeving heeft.The object of the invention is to obtain a tank of the above type, which, while retaining a light construction, nevertheless has a relatively large volume and an efficient design.
15 Volgens de uitvinding kan dit worden bereikt doordat de tank twee delen omvat, welke in doorsnede gezien de vorm van een cirkelsector groter dan 180° hebben en die met hun zich in de lengterichting van de tank uitstrekkende randen tegen elkaar aanliggend aan elkaar zijn gelast.terwijl tussen de tegenover elkaar gelegen randen op afstand van elkaar g§legen 20 verbindingsorganen zijn aangebracht.According to the invention, this can be achieved in that the tank comprises two parts, which in cross-section have the shape of a circular sector larger than 180 ° and which are welded together with their edges extending in the longitudinal direction of the tank. while spacers are spaced apart between the opposite edges.
Door toepassing van de constructie volgens de uitvinding kan bij een verhoudingsgewijs kleine wanddikte toch een tank worden verkregen, welke een compacte bouw ,gepaard met een verhoudingsgewijs groot volume heeft.By using the construction according to the invention, a tank can be obtained with a relatively small wall thickness, which has a compact construction, coupled with a relatively large volume.
25 De uitvinding zal hieronder nader worden uiteengezet aan de hand van een schematisch in bijgaande figuren weergegeven uitvoeringsvoorbeeld van een tank volgens de uitvinding.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment of a tank according to the invention shown schematically in the accompanying figures.
Fig. 1 toont schematisch een vooraanzicht op een tank volgens de uitvinding.Fig. 1 schematically shows a front view of a tank according to the invention.
30 .Fig· 2 toont een langsdoorsnede over de tank op kleinere schaal.30 .Fig · 2 shows a longitudinal section through the tank on a smaller scale.
Fig. 3 toont een doorsnede over fig.1,gezien volgens de lijn III -III in fig.1.Fig. 3 is a sectional view of FIG. 1, taken along line III-III in FIG. 1.
Fig. 4 toont op grotere schaal het in fig.3 omcirkelde,'gedeelte IVFig. 4 shows on a larger scale the part IV circled in FIG
, \ ter plaatse van een verbindingsstaaf., \ at the location of a connecting bar.
35 Bij de in de figuren weergegeven uitvoeringsvorm van de tank volgens de uitvinding omvat de tank een tweetal zich in de lengterichtingvan de tank uitstrekkende en in doorsnede de vorm van een cirkelsector bezittende 8300434 -2- 22973/CV/tl delen 1 en 2·,welke zich in doorsnede gezien ieder over een boog van meer dan 180° uitstrekken. Op de naar elkaar toegekeerde begrenzingsranden van de delen 1 en 2 zijn zich in de lengterichting van de tank uitstrekkende strippen 13 en 14 aangebracht,welke zoals nader in fig.4 is weer-5 gegeven langs hun randen aan de tankdelen 1 en 2 zijn vastgelast en zo de beide tankdelen met elkaar verbinden.In the embodiment of the tank according to the invention shown in the figures, the tank comprises two extending in the longitudinal direction of the tank and in the shape of a circular sector in section 8300434 -2-22973 / CV / tl parts 1 and 2 ·, each of which extends in cross section over an arc of more than 180 °. Strips 13 and 14 extending in the longitudinal direction of the tank are provided on the boundary edges of the parts 1 and 2 which face each other, which are welded along their edges to the tank parts 1 and 2 as shown in more detail in Fig. 4. and so connect the two tank parts together.
Verder zijn ter hoogte van de verbindingsnaden tussen de beide tankdelen zich tussen de tegenover elkaar gelegen begrenzingsranden van de tankdelen uitstrekkende verbindingsstaven 15 aangebracht.Furthermore, connecting rods 15 extending between the opposite boundary edges of the tank parts are arranged at the connection seams between the two tank parts.
10 Zeals in het bijzonder uit fig.4 blijkt zijn de uiteinden van de staven gevoerd door daartoe in de wanden van de tank en in de strippen 13 en 14 aangebrachte gaten,zodanig,dat de vrije uiteinden van de staven althans nagenoeg iri een vlak zijn gelegen met de buitenzijden van de strippen. Daarbij zijn de uiteinden van de staven op de in fig.4 weerge-15 geven wijze vastgelast aan de strippen 13 en 14.As can be seen in particular from Fig. 4, the ends of the bars are passed through holes provided for this purpose in the walls of the tank and in strips 13 and 14, such that the free ends of the bars are at least substantially flat located with the outer sides of the strips. The ends of the bars are welded to the strips 13 and 14 in the manner shown in Fig. 4.
Zowel de lassen waarmede de strippen 13 en 14 aan de tank zijn vastgezet als de lassen waarmede de verbindingsstaven 12 aan de strippem 13 en 14 zijn vastgezet zijn vanaf de buitenzijde van de tank goed toegankelijk, zodat hier op eenvoudige wijze lassen van hoge kwaliteit kunnen 20 worden aangebracht.Both the welds with which the strips 13 and 14 are fastened to the tank and the welds with which the connecting rods 12 are fastened to the strip 13 and 14 are easily accessible from the outside of the tank, so that high-quality welds can easily be made here. to be applied.
Aan de uiteindeh van de tankdelen 2 en 3 zijn verder op de gebruikelijke wijze althans in hoofdzaak bolvormige deksels 6 en 7 gelast voor het afsluiten van de door de beide tankdelen 1 en 2 omsloten ruimte.Furthermore, at least substantially spherical lids 6 and 7 are welded to the ends of the tank parts 2 and 3 in the usual manner in order to close off the space enclosed by the two tank parts 1 and 2.
Tevens'is in het tankdeel 1 nog een langwerpige uitsparing aange-25 bracht waarin een appendageplaat 8 is gelast. Op een in de appendageplaat 8 aangebrachte opening is een vulpijp 10 aangesloten.Een volumemeter kan worden aangebracht via een in de appendageplaat aangebracht gat 11. Verdere in de appendagepaat aangebrachte doortochten kunnen worden gebruikt voor de aansluiting van verdere meet- of regelorganen.An elongated recess is also provided in the tank part 1, in which a fitting plate 8 is welded. A filling pipe 10 is connected to an opening provided in the fitting plate 8. A volume meter can be fitted via a hole 11 arranged in the fitting plate. Further passages arranged in the fitting plate can be used for the connection of further measuring or regulating members.
30 Uit de figuren zal het duidelijk zijn,dat de tank een verhoudings gewijs groot volume kan hebben bij een lage bouwhoogte. Door het inbouwen van de verbindingsstaven 15 wordt daarbij ook bij een verhoudingsgewijs dunne plaatdikte van de beide tankdelen 1 en 2 een verhoudingsgewijs lichte tank verkregen ,welke tegen hoge drukken bestendig is.It will be clear from the figures that the tank can have a relatively large volume at a low construction height. By installing the connecting rods 15, a comparatively light tank is also obtained, which is resistant to high pressures, even with a relatively thin plate thickness of the two tank parts 1 and 2.
35 Hoewel de beschreven tank onder meer bijzonder geschikt is voor toepassing bij op LPG rijdende voertuigen zal het duidelijk zijn,dat een 8300434 -3- 22973/CV/tl tank volgens de uitvinding ook met succes voor andere doeleinden te ge- 4 bruiken is.Although the described tank is, inter alia, particularly suitable for use in vehicles running on LPG, it will be clear that an 8300434 -3-2973 / CV / tl tank according to the invention can also be successfully used for other purposes.
Ook is het mogelijk van schroefdraad voorziene staven toe te passen ,die in overeenkomstige van schroefdraad voorziene gaten in de strippen 13 en 14 te schroeven zijn r l t 8300434It is also possible to use threaded rods which can be screwed into corresponding threaded holes in strips 13 and 14 r l t 8300434
