Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of hose clamp assemblies, more particularly to a spring liner that is associated with a hose clamp assembly, and specifically to a spring liner with a central, rippled, hose-contact portion.
- Hose clamps are commonly utilized to join together hoses and fittings or connectors (referred to hereinafter as fittings), for example, within the automotive industry.
- Hose clamps, hose and fittings respond to changes in ambient temperature and system temperatures based on the thermal properties of the aforementioned components. Differing coefficients of thermal expansion of these components can result in thermally-induced reductions in clamping force, thus creating the potential for fluid or gas leakage. In addition, changes in elasticity of the hose materials over time due to creep, compression set, or deterioration can also reduce the clamping force and create the potential for fluid leakage.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,178,204 and 7,302,741 are exemplary of the art, disclosing a spring liner having two inward projecting ridges with an outward-projecting ridge in between.
- the ridges create two zones of very high compression in the hose, while the central ridge area creates a zone of lesser compression.
- the invention is directed to an annular spring liner for a hose clamp having a circumferential shoulder near each edge of the liner and a central inwardly-directed circumferential, cylindrical ridge with rippled contact portion there between the two shoulders.
- the hose clamp seats on the shoulders of the liner when the clamp is tensioned.
- the rippled central ridge is separated from the inner face of the tensioning band of the hose clamp by a gap of fairly uniform thickness.
- the width of the rippled contact portion is less than the width of the inner face of the tensioning band.
- the width of the rippled contact portion may be in the range from 40% to 75% of the width of the inner face of the tensioning band.
- the spring liner further has on at least a portion of one or both circumferential edges a radially outwardly-flared flange.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a hose clamp assembly including clamp and spring liner in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the spring liner of FIG. 1 , taken along section 2-2;
- FIG. 3 is a partially fragmented view of a hose clamp assembly including spring liner, hose, and fitting in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of a spring liner according to another embodiment of the invention.
- the present invention provides for a means of reducing the contact surface area of the inside diameter (ID) of traditional worm-gear hose clamp in order to increase the unit loading the hose clamp assembly imparts to the underlying hose or substrate, while increasing the grip of the hose clamp on the underlying hose.
- the reduction in contact surface area is achieved by the use of a circular liner that is inserted into the ID of a hose clamp or tensioning band 1.
- the cross-section of the liner has shoulders 5 with contact surfaces on their outside diameter (OD) which are together approximately equal in axial extent (width) to the inside surface width of the hose clamp or tensioning band. The edges of the shoulders may project upward towards the hose clamps or tensioning band at angles to hold the liner captive within the hose clamp or tensioning band ID.
- the profile of the liner also includes a rippled, but otherwise flat, cylindrical contact portion 7 positioned inward or lower than shoulders 5.
- rippled portion 7 is intended to contact the underlying hose or substrate and increase the force required to force a clamp off of the hose, relative to a flat liner.
- This rippled contact surface is narrower than the hose clamp or tensioning band 1 width and may be in the range of 40% to 75% of the hose clamp or tensioning band width.
- Two legs 6 bridge between the two shoulders and the lower contact portion 7 of the liner. These legs may be symmetrical and are located on either side of the lower contact surface and project outward at acute angles relative to the clamp centerline, thus reaching to and attaching to the upper shoulders.
- the increase in unit loading can also be described as an increase in the radial pressure the clamp exerts on the underlying hose or substrate.
- the radial pressure (pr) a hose clamp or a tensioned band exerts is a function of the band tension (T), the band width (w) and the clamping diameter (d).
- T band tension
- w band width
- d clamping diameter
- the liner In addition to increasing a hose clamp or tension bands' radial pressure as a result of the liner's narrower contact width, the liner also can act as a spring, thus providing a thermal-compensating feature for the clamp.
- the spring effect will be described in more detail later. First, the drawings will be discussed in more detail.
- FIG. 1 a hose clamp is shown comprising an outer annular band 1 , and a typical tensioning means 3, 4.
- FIG. 1 also shows in exploded view rippled spring liner 9 in accordance with the present invention.
- spring liner 19 is shown in section in FIGS. 2-3 and spring liner 29 in FIG. 4.
- Spring liner 9, as well as spring liners 19 and 29, is an annular ring with overlapping ends 10.
- Spring liner 9, 19 and 29 comprise two flat annular circumferential shoulders 5 near the edges of the liner, a rippled central annular circumferential contact portion 7 located between two shoulders 5 and of smaller circumference than the shoulders, and two annular circumferential legs 6 there between connecting the edges of shoulders 5 to the edges of rippled contact portion 7.
- outward and inward refer to direction with respect to the center axis of the generally circular liner.
- Inward or inner generally means directed toward the center axis of the liner.
- Outward or outer generally means directed away from the center axis of the liner.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the hose clamp assembly in use with a hose 1 1 and a hose fitting 12.
- Band 1 of the hose clamp seats on the two shoulders 5.
- the inward facing rippled contact portion 7 of the liner creates a zone of relatively uniform compression 14 in the hose.
- Ripples 17 in the embodiment of FIG. 2 are of generally sinusoidal shape. The ripples will push into the hose surface, increasing the force required to pull the clamp off the hose.
- Other symmetric ripple profiles may be advantageously used, such as triangular, trapezoidal, or generally curvilinear.
- the ripples also are believed to reduce leakage and/or increase the pressure required to produce leakage under the clamp. This effect may be the result of an increased tortuosity for any gas or liquid molecule trying to diffuse or permeate out in the region of the ripples.
- FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which ripples 27 are of asymmetric shape, namely saw tooth or triangular shape.
- An advantage of asymmetric, saw tooth ripples is that the pull-off force is direction-dependent and therefore the liner can be oriented to maximize the resistance to being pulled off in a desired direction.
- Saw tooth ripples 27 in FIG. 4 may be characterized by the two tooth angles, a and ⁇ .
- a and ⁇ are defined with respect to a vertical line.
- the angle, may be set as desired, for example, in the range of from zero to 500, or from 50 to 400, or from 5° to about 25°, or about 10°.
- the angle, ⁇ may be set as desired, for example, in the range of from 20° to 90°, or from 30° to 80°, or from 35° to about 60°, or about 40°.
- the profile of the liner is designed so that the two legs 6 can deflect under the compressive forces, creating a spring effect.
- the deflection of the legs will cause gap A to decrease to A' (A' ⁇ A), or perhaps even disappear completely.
- the deflection may also cause the rippled contact surface to deform slightly.
- the decrease in gap is an indication of the amount of spring energy stored in the annular spring liner.
- the spring liner can respond by further deflecting or by relaxing, thus helping to maintain an excellent sealing force on the hose assembly.
- the hose material which is typically vulcanized rubber, takes on a compression set, or inelastic deformation, due to deterioration of elastic properties over time, the force exerted by the rubber will relax or decline, and the spring liner again relaxes or releases some of the stored spring energy, thus maintaining an excellent sealing force on the hose.
- the present invention creates a more uniform zone of moderate compression, which may advantageously avoid extreme deformations and extreme effects of compression set in the rubber hose being clamped, while still providing a high degree of mechanical grip on the hose.
- the clamp and spring liner may be designed so that in use, gap A' is maintained even in the presence of clamp tensioning forces.
- the clamp and spring liner may be designed so that in use, the outer surface of the rippled contact portion 7 may abut the inner face of the hose clamp in the presence of clamp tensioning forces.
- spring liner 19 may also have one or two radially outward flared flanges 8 to aid in aligning liner 19 within band 1.
- the flanges shown in the figures flare outward at about a 45° angle. Any suitable flare angle or flare shape may be used.
- Flanges 8, as well as legs 6, may be sharply bent or may have a more rounded, gradual transition from the adjoining shoulders 5 or contact portion 7.
- Flanges 8 may extend the entire circumference of the liner or may be cut short in appropriate places to reduce interference in the overlap section 10 of the liner or to reduce interference between the liner and the tensioning means 3, 4.
- the spring liner may be more or less permanently affixed to band I by any means that provides an adequate bond, such as, but not limited to, heat welding, chemical welding, chemical bonding, staking, mechanical fasteners, or a combination of two or more of the foregoing.
- the spring force exerted by the liner depends on the thickness and modulus of the material of which it is constructed. The force also depends on the precise profile, i.e. the shape and size of the legs, contact portion, and shoulders.
- the profile shown in FIG. 2 when formed out of sheet metal about 0.012 inches (0.3 mm) thick, is suitable for typical automotive hose clamping applications.
- One skilled in the art would be able to alter the materials, material properties, shoulder and rippled surface dimensions, flange angles, overlap distance, and/or spring liner thickness to optimize the rippled spring liner for particular applications.
- the profile need not be perfectly symmetric.
- the two shoulders, the legs, and the central rippled surface may all be of different sizes.
- the central rippled surface need not be at the exact center of the annular liner.
- the two leg angles may be different.
- the thickness of the liner may also vary in the axial direction. One or more of the shoulders and/or one or more of the legs may also be rippled.
- a shoulder or shoulders may be a circumferential line of contact adapted to abut the inner face of the band of the hose clamp.
- Such a shoulder could be an outwardly convex ridge formed near the edge of the liner, or it could simply be an edge of the liner.
- the important feature of the shoulder is that it be adapted to contact or abut the inner face of the band of the hose clamp. Viewed in section as in FIG. 3, the contact between the inner face of band I and shoulder 5 could therefore be a point or a line. In three dimensional terms, the contact between the inner face of band I and shoulder 5 could therefore be a circular line or a cylindrical area, depending on the shape of the shoulder.
- Friction between the overlapping ends of the spring liner can affect the clamping force achieved during assembly.
- the overlapping ends may be coated with wax or other suitable lubricant.
- the overlapping section may be cleaned, roughened, grooved, knurled, or the like. Thus, one skilled in the art can optimize the friction as needed or desired.
- tensioning mechanism may be a worm drive 3, 4 as shown in FIG. 1.
- the tensioner may be a T-bolt, a ratcheting mechanism, a bolt and barrel mechanism, a nut and bolt assembly, a permanent crimp, or the like, or combinations thereof.
- the clamp may be an endless band with thermally frozen-in strain, which is tensioned by releasing the strain and allowing the band to shrink onto the spring liner, hose and fitting.
- tensioning band or hose clamp width may vary. The proportionality of tensioning band width to liner width and liner contact width may vary.
- hose clamps may be incorporated if desired without departing from the scope of the invention.
- various means of attaching the assembly to the hose such as adhesive, a vulcanizing patch, a locating tab, a locating clip, and the like may be incorporated.
- Cutouts or apertures for adjusting spring stiffness, or the like may be incorporated.
- a hose clamp with an annular spring liner is placed over the hose and fitting to be joined. Clamp diameter is reduced by means of the tensioning mechanism.
- Spring liner diameter is reduced proportionally to the clamp diameter reduction by increasing the circumferential overlap length of the liner.
- radial pressure acting on the underlying hose and fitting increase. Because of the shape of the liner, the radial pressure on the hose is amplified from that generated by the clamp alone, while remaining relatively uniform in the hose region under the liner.
- the spring liner deflects in such a manner that shoulders 5 deflect downward towards hose 1 1. This movement can continue until the desired tension is achieved. However, the movement becomes limited at the point where the central rippled portion 7 contacts (if ever) the inner face of the clamp band 1.
- the deflections are elastic, spring-like behavior. Therefore, the liner can respond to variations in band tension and/or radial pressures as a spring. This spring behavior insures that the central rippled portion 7 exerts sufficient radial pressure on the hose throughout the life of the clamp installation.
- the inner face of the hose clamp could initially when assembled contact one shoulder of the spring liner, there being a gap between the inner face of the clamp and a second shoulder of the liner.
- the gap between the inner face and the second shoulder would close as deformation energy is stored in the spring liner, with the clamp perhaps even finally seating on the second shoulder.
- the use of an embodiment of the invention has benefits.
- the force required to pull off the clamp may be increased, resulting in higher working pressure and better sealing.
- the clamp pressure is amplified relative to a band without a liner at a given tension.
- the generally flat central portion of the liner with only relatively small ripples results in a more uniform pressure distribution both around the hose and along the hose than for the prior art spring liner having two inward ridges according to U.S. Pat. No. 7,302,741. This could be helpful for certain applications or embodiments.
- Edge effects and relaxation or compression set effects within the rubber may make the results or advantages to be dependent on the details of the hose construction and materials which is being clamped.
- the benefits of the invention, and the comparative advantages relative to the prior art liner may depend on the type of hose and the type of application.
- the prior art liner, with its two larger ridges could still give higher peak pressures immediately under the ridges.
- some types of hose or application may be better clamped with a higher average pressure, but lower peak pressure.
