Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement in a gas-filled spring for scraping of a piston rod, which at a first end is connected to a piston, axially moveable in a cylinder, which is designed to be acted upon by a pressure in an internal space of the cylinder filled with a compressible gas/oil mixture, and which at a second end extends out of the cylinder through an opening centred in a first end of the cylinder, a scraper element arranged in the internal space of the cylinder adjacent to the first end being designed to prevent any impurities in the environment surrounding the gas-filled spring from passing into the cylinder at the inward movement of the piston rod.
- a cylinder/piston unit with a scraper element provided with a scraper lip which surrounds the piston rod when the latter leaves the cylinder in order to prevent impurities being carried into the cylinder with the piston rod, is already known from DE 2 235 472.
- the scraper element is made of elastic material and is applied against the piston rod by preloading. This means that the application force diminishes as the element is worn or heated up by the friction, which may lead to problems when the scraper element is working under essentially unlubricated conditions.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a piston rod scraper which is applied against the piston rod with a high force and which continuously compensates for changes in the geometry of the scraper due, for example, to wear or heating.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that the opening surrounding the first end of the cylinder comprises an inner surface corresponding to a surface of an essentially conforming section formed on the scraper element and enclosing the piston rod, which section is positionally fixed in relation to the inner surface and composed of elastic material which is designed to be deformed under the effect of the pressure in the internal space of the cylinder, the said section being designed to be applied against the piston rod with a sealing effect at the inward movement of the piston rod.
- a piston rod seal is designed to defme the internal space of the cylinder filled with a compressible gas/oil mixture, and the scraper element is operatively connected to the piston rod seal, so that a variation in the pressure on the said piston rod seal acts on the scraper element.
- Fig.1 shows a preferred embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention for scraping of a piston rod when the first end of the cylinder is inclined.
- Fig.2 shows an alternative embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention for scraping of a piston rod when the first end of the cylinder is plane.
- Fig.1 shows a preferred embodiment of an arrangement in a gas-filled spring 1 for scraping of a piston rod 2.
- the piston rod 2 is connected to a piston 3 in a cylinder 4, which has an internal space 4b filled with a compressible gas or oil mixture.
- the cylinder has a first end 4a with an opening in which the piston rod 2 can move in an axial direction, thereby achieving a movement of the piston in an axial direction in the internal space 4b of the cylinder.
- a scraper element 5 has a section 5a in the form of a truncated cone, the outer surface 5al of which is fixed against an inner surface 4a 1 at the first end 4a of the cylinder.
- the fixing may be obtained, for example, by adhesive bonding to the inner surface 4a 1 of the cylinder.
- the inner surface 4a 1 is formed so that it corresponds in shape to the conforming section 5a of the scraper element.
- the scraper element is made of an elastic, deformable material.
- a piston rod seal 6 in the form of a cup seal separates the internal space 4b of the cylinder off from the scraper element 5.
- the piston rod seal 6 is applied against the piston rod 2 by the pressure in the internal space 4b of the cylinder and is formed in such a way that an increased pressure in the internal space 4b of the cylinder results in increased application against the piston rod.
- the effect of pressure on the piston rod seal 6 is also transmitted to the scraper element 5, which with a plane bottom side bears against a plane top side of the piston rod seal 6.
- the pressure in the internal space 4b of the cylinder is increased, this causes both the piston rod seal 6 and the scraper element 5 to move in an axial direction upwards in the cylinder.
- the axial movement of the scraper element 5 is braked by the fixing at the inner surface 4a 1 at the first end of the cylinder. Owing to the elastic material in the scraper element 5, a deformation of the latter is obtained under the effect of pressure from the piston rod seal 6. The said deformation causes the upper section 5a of the scraper element to bear against the piston rod 2, so that the scraper element is applied with sealing effect against the piston rod. Increased pressure in the internal space of the cylinder results in increased application against the piston rod. The scraper element consequently achieves a sealing contact against the piston rod, thereby preventing impurities in the environment surrounding the gas-filled spring from getting into the internal space of the cylinder.
- the conforming section 5a of the scraper element is formed with a plane top side, which corresponds in shape to an essentially plane inner surface 4a 1 at the first end 4a of the cylinder. Otherwise its function does not differ from the embodiment described in connection with Fig.l.
- the invention is naturally not limited to the embodiments quoted above by way of examples.
- a person skilled in the art will perceive, for example, that the inner surface at the first edge of the cylinder need not be integrally formed with the cylinder itself, but may also be produced by providing an open cylinder with a termination at a first end separate from the cylinder.
- the invention may thus undergo modifications within the scope of the idea of the invention defmed in the claims below.
