Description

“BOSS PART ASSEMBLY FOR COMPOSITE CYLINDER AND METHOD OF
MANUFACTURE THEREOF”
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The embodiments herein generally relate to a composite gas cylinders and more particularly to, but not limited to, an improved boss part assembly for the composite cylinder to prevent gradual leakage of any type of gases such as liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, oxygen, etc. from high or low pressure composite cylinders. The present embodiment also describes method of manufacturing the boss part assembly.
Description of the Related Art
Traditional steel cylinders are heavy and difficult to handle, and they generate high logistical and maintenance costs. Unaesthetic as they are, they are easily damaged and therefore steel cylinders can be explosive under certain circumstances. Steel cylinders are corrosive devices and many gas distributors have issues regarding this. Also, with thieves who steal them for scrap. From the consumers point of view, steel cylinders are unsafe if they are not well managed. The gas level cannot be checked and users can be affected by the weight and the risk of explosion.
Disadvantages of gas cylinders are as follows Difficult to handle - Heavy in weight, Corrosive, Explosion risk - Spark susceptible, Unfavorable environmental effects, unable to check the level of gas, Easily damaged, Metal thefts, Aesthetically unappealing, High logistic and maintenance cost, very old technology.
To overcome this disadvantages, new age composite cylinder has been developed. Composite cylinder is a three-layer cylinder made up of a blow-molded HDPE inner liner, covered with composite layer of polymer-wrapped fiber glass and fitted with a HDPE outer jacket. The second layer is a composite layer of polymer-wrapped fibre glass. And the third and last layer to the LPG composite cylinder is an HDPE outer jacket. These new-age composite cylinders have multiple advantages over the existing steel cylinders. These cylinders are lightweight. The weight of a composite cylinder is half of its steel counterpart. Moreover, these cylinders have a translucent body that helps customers to accurately check the LPG level against light. This will help customers plan their next refill easily. These cylinders are also rust-free and do not corrode and reduces the chances of leaving stains and marks on surfaces. Designed in such a way that these cylinders make them visually appealing and ideal for the modem kitchens of today. You can replace the existing LPG steel cylinders with composite cylinders.
However, composite gas cylinders may suffer from gradual leakage from Boss part integration over a period of time. This may be due to poor integration of the boss part into neck of the composite cylinder. Many a times while refilling the cylinder, the valve system or the regulator installation into the boss part may result in some minor gaps left between the Boss part and the cylinder. Also, long-term damage (ageing) and failure mechanisms of composites may result in gas leakage especially from the Boss part of the cylinder. Wherein the plastic and metal part of the Boss assembly gets detached or peel off from each other over a period of time due to continuous use, exposure to high temperature, handling, refilling of gas, etc. resulting in gradual leakage of gas from the composite cylinder where the Boss part is connected. Such percentage of gas leakage through the Boss part is beyond standard norms and is not acceptable by Industry standards. Accordingly, there remains a need for an improved Boss part assembly which will keep the metal and the plastic part of the assembly intact over a longer period of time without leaking any gas and thereby providing ideal sealing of the integration between the cylinder body and the Boss part with almost zero leakage of the gas from the composite cylinder. SUMMARY
The present embodiment herein discloses an improved boss part assembly for the composite cylinders, the boss part assembly comprises of a metal subassembly part having a single cylindrical hollow metallic part characterized in that having a machined outer metallic body forming a hexagonal shaped head on top of the metallic part, followed by a depressing contours cut in steps, wherein the depressing contours consist of multiple slotted indentations each having an angled v-grooves cut within the indentations such that each of the v-grooves is forming a depressing angle between 50 and 70 degrees normal to the slotted indentations; a circular disc connected to the depressing contour, wherein the disc is having multiple holes throughout the disc; a depressing contour cut in steps connecting the disc, joins a cylindrical section having multiple holes with the circular disc; and a hollow portion machined from top to bottom from within the metallic body having a step cut in between the hollow portion, wherein the hollow portion has a larger threaded portion on upper side of the metallic body and a smaller threaded portion on the lower side of the metallic body; a plastic subassembly part blow molded onto the metal subassembly part, filling the indentations, the contours, the v-grooves and the multiple holes of the metallic part with High-density polyethylene (HDPE) material leaving partially the hollow portion unfilled, wherein the multiple holes is filled with plastic material within the holes such that the HDPE material joins together through the holes and locks the plastic subassembly part with the metallic subassembly part, thus forming an inseparable linking with the metallic part ; and a threaded plug consisting of a head having a threaded portion to securely connect the threaded plug with the metallic subassembly part, wherein the plug consist of a hexagonal shaped hole starting from top of the plug, passing through body from within and touching a multiple holes at bottom of the plug for safe passage of gas to and from the composite gas cylinder. In an embodiment, the circular disc may be tapered on upper surface at an angle of 95 degrees from normal of the depressing contour. In one embodiment, the boss part assembly may be fused to a fiber glass composite at one of the depression.
