Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for connecting a fluid-carrying pipe to a further fluid-carrying element, in particular a further fluid-carrying pipe, to a device body.
- the invention further relates to a fluid line system comprising at least one fluid-carrying pipe, at least one additional fluid-carrying element and at least one device for connecting the fluid-carrying pipe to the additional fluid-carrying element.
- Pipes made of a composite material with a diffusion barrier are often used for this purpose.
- the diffusion barrier can be an aluminum layer, for example.
- pipes made of composite materials for water transport with polymeric oxygen barriers For example, EP 0 030 091 A2 describes a gas diffusion-resistant pipe comprising a core made of a liquid-resistant plastic material and an outer layer made of an impact-resistant plastic material, and an intermediate layer made of a gas diffusion-resistant plastic material, which is arranged between the core and the outer layer and connected thereto.
- the present invention is based on the object of specifying a more cost-effective method for connecting fluid-carrying line elements to one another.
- the object of the invention is achieved with the device mentioned at the outset for connecting a fluid-carrying pipe to another fluid-carrying element, in which the device body comprises or consists of a multi-layer composite material, the composite material having a polymeric inner layer, a polymeric outer layer and a polymeric diffusion barrier layer which disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer. Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved with the fluid line system mentioned at the outset, which has the device for connecting a fluid-carrying pipe to another fluid-carrying element.
- the advantage here is that—in addition to the cost reduction—a line system can be made available that does not have any material changes over time.
- the components of the line system are also subject to the same stresses caused by temperature changes with the same temperature influences.
- the device which can also be referred to as a fitting, more easily in the installation of fluid line systems, since it is no longer necessary to pay attention to material incompatibilities if the material composition is the same as the material composition of the pipes.
- an adhesive layer is arranged between the inner layer and the diffusion barrier layer and/or between the outer layer and the diffusion barrier layer. Not only can the cohesion of the composite material itself be improved, but it is also possible to use polymers that are inherently difficult to process with one another for the device.
- the outer layer has particles and/or fibers.
- the outer layer can thus be reinforced in a simple manner in order to give the device greater mechanical resistance.
- the fibers form a fabric, with which the thermal expansion of the outer layer can be influenced, so that the thermal expansions of the different polymers of the layers of the device can be better matched to one another.
- the inner layer has or consists of at least one polymer from the group of polyolefins, preferably polyethylene, in particular crosslinked polyethylene, HDPE, polypropylene, polybutylene, polyolefin copolymers, a polyester, in particular polyethylene phthalate, partially aromatic polyamide, polyphenylene ether, and/or -
- the outer layer is at least one polymer from the group of polyamide, in particular PA 6, PA 66, PA 11, PA 12, PA 610, PA 612, polyphthalamide, polypropylene, polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene sulfone, polyphenylene sulfide, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polyethy - has or consists of len-2,6-naphthalate, polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, in particular polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, and/or
- the diffusion barrier layer comprises or consists of at least one polymer from the group of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, partially aromatic polyamide, fluoroplastic, in particular polyvinylidene difluoride, polyvinylidene dichloride, and/or
- the adhesive layer is at least one polymer from the group of ionomers, for example an ionomeric copolymer of ethylene and an ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid anhydride, in particular a (co)polymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid, an EVA copolymer, maleic anhydride, grafted Polyolefin, ethylene glycidyl methacrylate, ethylene - methyl acrylate - glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer, has or consists of it.
- ionomers for example an ionomeric copolymer of ethylene and an ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid anhydride, in particular a (co)polymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid, an EVA copolymer, maleic anhydride, grafted Polyolefin, ethylene glycidyl methacrylate,
- the device With the polymers of the inner layer, the device can be better adapted to different fluids to be pumped.
- the polymers of the outer layer can provide improved mechanical strength to the device.
- the device With the polymers of the diffusion barrier layer, the device can be given reduced permeability to gases, such as oxygen, or vapors, such as water vapor or hydrocarbon vapors.
- the polymers for the adhesive layer can improve the structural strength of the device.
- the device can exhibit reduced diffusion of substances from the outside in or from the inside out.
- the inner layer is multi-layered, and/or
- the outer layer is multi-layered, and/or
- the diffusion barrier layer is formed in multiple layers, and / or
- the adhesive layer is formed in several layers. For example, due to the increase in the number of interfaces, the diffusion of substances through the device body can be (further) reduced, which means that polymer materials can also be used in the device, which appear less suitable for this task. Likewise, with the multi-layer outer layer, an improvement in the mechanical load-bearing capacity, in particular an increase in the puncture resistance, can be achieved. With the multilayer adhesive layer, a better transition between two plastics that cannot be connected to one another or can only be connected with difficulty can be achieved by using, for example, different adhesion promoters for the multiple layers of the adhesive layer.
- the device body is an injection molded part. Improved series production of the device with a high cycle time can thus be achieved, in particular also for devices that are not straight, such as bends, Y-pieces, etc.
- the inner layer at least partially covers the device body at the front, whereby an improved connection to the other fluid-carrying elements of the fluid line system can be achieved.
- the adhesive layer between the inner layer and the diffusion barrier layer and optionally the diffusion barrier layer to at least partially cover the device body on the front side.
- the adhesive layer between the inner layer and the diffusion barrier layer and optionally the diffusion barrier layer to at least partially cover the device body on the front side.
- the device body has at least one flange in order to improve the contact with the further element of the fluid line system, such as the pipe, for example.
- the flange can also be provided in such a way that the flange is designed to accommodate a compression sleeve, so that according to one embodiment ment variant of the fluid line system, the fluid-carrying pipe can be connected to the device for connecting the fluid-carrying pipe to the further fluid-carrying element more easily with a compression sleeve.

- a fluid circuit of a vehicle in particular a motor vehicle
- a water pipe in particular a drinking water pipe

It is possible that a pre-moulded part is produced with a first layer, and after the first injection molding process this is converted into a new tool cavity in which the next layer is applied, etc. However, a turning tool can also be used. After the first injection molding process, this tool is rotated or shifted into a new position and the preform is provided with the next layer in the new position, etc. It is also possible to produce the injection molded part of the device 4 using index plate technology. The molded part to be manufactured is positioned between the various cavities of the injection mold by the rotatably mounted index plate moved and so produced the individual layers of the device. Alternatively, a so-called cube tool can also be used.

- this embodiment variant can also be used for embodiment variants with one of four different numbers of layers.
- only the diffusion barrier layer 11 is multi-layered.

- the diffusion barrier layer 11 has three layers 26, 27 and 28 made of the same polymer. However, at least one of the layers can also consist of a different polymer, so that the diffusion barrier layer 11 can consist of different polymers.
