Description

Die Erfindung bezicht sich auf einen Kolbenverdichter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.
Derartige Kolbenverdichter werden in allen technischen Bereichen eingesetzt, wo ein Bedarf an Druckluft besteht. In erster Linie kommen solche Kolbenverdichter in der Fahrzeugindustrie für die Luftfederung und/oder Luftdämpfung zur Anwendung.
The invention relates to a reciprocating compressor according to the preamble of claim 1.
Such reciprocating compressors are used in all technical areas where there is a need for compressed air. First and foremost, such piston compressors are used in the automotive industry for air suspension and / or air damping.

Ein solcher Kolbenverdichter in einer zweigestuften Ausführung ist beispielsweise in der DE 197 15 291 A1 beschrieben. Dieser Kolbenverdichter besteht aus einem Verdichtergehäuse, in dem eine zylinrische Niederdruckkammer mit einem größeren Niederdruckkolben und eine zylindrische Hochdruckkammer mit einem kleineren Hochdruckkolben ausgebildet sind. Dabei befinden sich die Niederdruckkammer und die Hochdruckkammer auf einer gemeinsamen Achse und der Niederdruckkolben und der Hochdruckkolben sind zu einem einstückigen Druckkolben mit einer gemeinsamen Kolbenstange ausgeformt. Die Niederdruckkammer besitzt einen Einlass mit einem Einlassrückschlagventil, die Hochdruckkammer besitzt einen Auslass mit einem Auslassrückschlagventil und beide Druckkammern sind durch einen Überströmkanal verbunden in dem ein Überströmrückschlagventil angeordnet ist. In die gemeinsame Kolbenstange des Niederdruckkolbens und des Hochdruckkolbens greift in rechtwinkliger Ausrichtung ein Kurbelzapfen einer Kurbelwelle ein, die beispielsweise von einem Elekt-romotor angetrieben wird and die ihre rotierende Bewegung in eine linerare Bewegung am einteiligen Druckkolben umwandelt. Aus dieser linearen Bewegung ergibt sich am Druckkolben eine oszillierende Bewegung.
Das Einlassrückschlagventil, das Auslassrückschlagventil und das Überströmrückschlagventil besitzen Dichtscheiben aus Federstahl, die, wie im Falle des Einlassrückscklagventiles und des Überströmrückschlagventiles, durch eine mittige Schraube befestigt sind und die in dichtender Weise mehrere auf einem Teilkreis angeordnete Strömungskanäle überdecken, oder die, wie im Fall des Auslassrückschlagventiles, durch eine seitlich versetzte Schraube gehalten wird und die einen daneben liegenden Strömungskanal abdichten.
Diese Rückschlagventile erfüllen ihre Aufgabe nur unzureichend. So ist festzustellen, dass die metallischen Dichtscheiben nicht ausreichend abdichten. Das ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die Schließkraft der Dichtscheiben ausschließlich durch die Eigenspannungen des Federstahles aufgebracht wird. Dieser Schließkraft wirkt oftmals noch eine Spannkraft entgegen, die von der Befestigungsschraube ausgeht und die im druckausgeglichenen Zustand eine glatte Auflage der Dichtscheibe verhindert. Undichtigkeiten treten auch dadurch auf, dass mit der Zeit Ermüdungserscheinungen an der Dichtscheibe auftreten und dass die Dichtscheiben aus diesem Grund nicht einwandfrei an der Dichtfläche anliegen. Zum Ausgleich dieser nachteiligen Wirkungen werden die Dichtscheiben in der Regel stärker ausgeführt. Das erhöht aber wiederum den Einbauraum einer solchen Dichtscheibe und verringert das Volumen der entsprechenden Druckkammer. Solche Kolbenverdichter sind dann nicht sehr leistungsfähig. Die durch die Verstärkung der Dichtscheibe erzielte höhere Schließkraft erhöht aber gleichzeitig die erforderliche Öffnungskraft für den freien Durchfluss, die vom Systemdruck aufgebracht werden muss. Auch das verringert den Wirkungsgrad des Kolbenverdichters erheblich.
Es hat sich auch gezeigt, dass das Material der Dichtscheiben wegen der hohen Frequenzen des Kolbenverdichters recht schnell ermüdet und daher nur eine geringe Lebensdauer der Dichtscheiben zu verzeichnen ist.
Such a reciprocating compressor in a two-stage design, for example, in DE 197 15 291 A1 described. This reciprocating compressor consists of a compressor housing, in which a cylinic low-pressure chamber with a larger low-pressure piston and a cylindrical high-pressure chamber with a smaller high-pressure piston are formed. In this case, the low-pressure chamber and the high-pressure chamber are located on a common axis and the low-pressure piston and the high-pressure piston are formed into a one-piece pressure piston with a common piston rod. The low-pressure chamber has an inlet with an inlet check valve, the high-pressure chamber has an outlet with an outlet check valve, and both pressure chambers are connected by an overflow channel in which an overflow check valve is arranged. In the common piston rod of the low-pressure piston and the high-pressure piston engages in a rectangular orientation, a crank pin of a crankshaft, which is driven for example by a Elekt-romotor and their rotating movement in a linear movement on the one-piece pressure piston converts. This linear movement results in an oscillating movement on the pressure piston.
The inlet check valve, the outlet check valve, and the spill check valve have spring steel gaskets which, as in the case of the inlet check and overflow check valves, are fastened by a central screw and which sealingly cover a plurality of flow channels arranged on a pitch circle or, as in the case of Outlet check valve is held by a laterally offset screw and seal an adjacent flow channel.
These check valves do not perform their task adequately. Thus, it should be noted that the metallic sealing washers do not adequately seal. This is due to the fact that the closing force of the sealing washers is applied exclusively by the residual stresses of the spring steel. This closing force often counteracts even a clamping force, which starts from the fastening screw and prevents the pressure-balanced state, a smooth support of the gasket. Leaks also occur due to the fact that, over time, fatigue phenomena occur on the sealing disk and that the sealing disks do not fit perfectly against the sealing surface for this reason. To compensate for these adverse effects, the sealing discs are usually made stronger. However, this in turn increases the installation space of such a sealing disc and reduces the volume of the corresponding pressure chamber. Such reciprocating compressors are then not very powerful. However, the higher closing force achieved by the reinforcement of the sealing disc also increases the required opening force for the free flow, which must be applied by the system pressure. This also reduces the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor considerably.
It has also been shown that the material of the sealing discs fatigues quite quickly because of the high frequencies of the reciprocating compressor and therefore only a short service life of the sealing discs is recorded.

Letztlich ist auch die Herstellung der Dichtscheiben aus Federstahl sehr aufwendig, da einerseits das Material schwer zu bearbeiten ist und andererseits hohe Anforderungen an die Qualität der Dichtfläche an der Dichtscheibe gestellt werden.Ultimately, the production of sealing washers made of spring steel is very expensive, since on the one hand, the material is difficult to work and on the other hand, high demands are placed on the quality of the sealing surface on the gasket.

Aus der US 6,234,774 B1 ist nun eine Doppelkolbenpumpe für ein Gummischlauchboot beschrieben, in der eine Druckkammer mit einem Eingangsrückschlagventil und einem Auslassrückschlagventil ausgestattet ist. Dabei besitzt das Eingangsrückschlagventil ein Verschlusselement in Form einer dünnwandigen Membran aus einem Gummiwerkstoff und das Verschlusselement des Auslassrückschlagventils besteht aus einem Formkörper aus Gummi. Sehr nachteilig ist dabei die Einlassverschlussmembran. Auf Grund ihrer Dünnwandigkeit und auf Grund der Materialbeschaffenheit besitzt die Membran eine sehr geringe Eigenspannung, die zu einem geringen Schließvermögen führt. Daher ist diese Membran nur für geringe Drücke vorgesehen. Ein Einsatz in mehrstufigen Luftdruckverdichtern scheidet damit aus. Von Nachteil ist auch, dass das Einlassrückschlagventil und das Auslassrückschlagventil unterschiedliche Verschlusselemente aufweisen, was zu einer Verteuerung der Herstellung führt, und dass die Einlassverschlussmembran und das korpulente Auslassverschlusselement einen großen Einbauraum erfordern. Dieser erforderliche Einbauraum geht aber zu Lasten des Druckkammervolumens und damit zu Lasten der Leistungsfähigkeit des Druckluftverdichters.From the US 6,234,774 B1 now a double piston pump for a rubber dinghy is described in which a pressure chamber is equipped with an input check valve and an outlet check valve. In this case, the inlet check valve has a closure element in the form of a thin-walled membrane made of a rubber material and the closure element of the outlet check valve consists of a molded body made of rubber. Very disadvantageous is the inlet closure membrane. Due to its thinness and due to the nature of the material, the membrane has a very low residual stress, which leads to a low closing capacity. Therefore, this membrane is intended only for low pressures. A use in multi-stage air compressors eliminates this. It is also disadvantageous that the inlet check valve and the outlet check valve have different closure elements, which leads to an increase in the cost of production, and that the inlet closure membrane and the corpulent outlet closure element require a large installation space. However, this required installation space is at the expense of the pressure chamber volume and thus at the expense of the performance of the air compressor.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Kolbenverdichter zu entwickeln, dessen Rückschlagventile eine sehr geringe Schließkraft aufweisen und gleichzeitig eine hohe Dichtigkeit gewährleisten.The invention is therefore based on the object to develop a generic reciprocating compressor whose check valves have a very low closing force and at the same time ensure a high density.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 7. Der neue Kolbenverdichter beseitigt die genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further refinements result from the dependent claims 2 to 7. The new piston compressor eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art.

Die Erfindung soll anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert werden. Dazu zeigen:

Nach der Fig. 1 besteht ein zweistufiger Kolbenverdichter in seinen Hauptbestandteilen aus dem eigentlichen Kolbenverdichter 1, einem Antriebsmotor 2 und einer Lufttrocknereinheit 3.
Zum Kolbenverdichter 1 gehört ein Ventilgehäuse 4 mit einem zylindrischen, im Durchmesser gestuften Innenraum, der sich in eine Niederdruckkammer 5 mit einem größeren Durchmesser und in eine Hochdruckkammer 6 mit einem kleineren Durchmesser aufteilt. Die Niederdruckkammer 5 ist mit einem Ventilgehäuseboden 7 und die Hochdruckkammer 6 mit einem Ventilgehäusedeckel 8 dichtend nach außen verschlossen. Dabei ist der Ventilgehäusedeckel 8 mit dem Gehäuse der Lufttrocknereinheit 3 verbunden oder einstückig ausgeführt. In den Innenraum des Ventilgehäuses 4 ist ein einstückiger Verdichterkolben 9 eingepasst, der dementsprechend aus einem Niederdruckkolben 10 mit einem größeren Durchmesser, einem Hochdruckkolben 11 mit einem kleineren Durchmesser und einer gemeinsamen Kolbenstange 12 besteht. Im äußeren Bereich der Kolbenstange 12 ist ein Kurbelgehäuse ausgebildet, in das in rechtwinkliger Ausrichtung das Pleuel 13 der Kurbelwelle 14 des Antriebsmotors 2 eingreift.
After Fig. 1 a two-stage reciprocating compressor consists in its main components of the actual reciprocating compressor 1, a drive motor 2 and an air dryer unit. 3
For piston compressor 1 includes a valve housing 4 with a cylindrical, stepped in diameter interior, which is in a low-pressure chamber 5 with a larger diameter and divides into a high-pressure chamber 6 with a smaller diameter. The low pressure chamber 5 is closed with a valve housing bottom 7 and the high pressure chamber 6 with a valve housing cover 8 sealingly outwards. In this case, the valve housing cover 8 is connected to the housing of the air dryer unit 3 or made in one piece. In the interior of the valve housing 4, a one-piece compressor piston 9 is fitted, which accordingly consists of a low-pressure piston 10 with a larger diameter, a high-pressure piston 11 with a smaller diameter and a common piston rod 12. In the outer region of the piston rod 12, a crankcase is formed, in which engages in a rectangular orientation, the connecting rod 13 of the crankshaft 14 of the drive motor 2.

Die Niederdruckkammer 5 und die Hochdruckkammer 6 besitzen Verbindungen untereinander und nach außen.The low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 6 have connections to each other and to the outside.

So befindet sich gemäß der Fig. 2 im Ventilgehäuseboden 7 des Kolbenverdichters 1 ein Einlassrückschlagventil 15, das die Niederdruckkammer 5 mit der Atmosphäre verbindet. Zu diesem Einlassrückschlagventil 15 gehören mehrere, auf einer gemeinsamen Kreisbahn angeordnete Einlassöffnungen 16 und eine, alle Einlassöffnungen 16 abdeckende, Einlassverschlussmembran 17. Dabei ist die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 in eine innenliegende Senkbohrung eingepasst, die einen balligen oder einen winkligen Bohrungsgrund aufweist. Ein mittig angesetztes und pilzartiges Befestigungselement 18 fixiert die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 und hält die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 unter einer leichten Spannung auf den Grund der Senkbohrung. Dabei ist diese durch das Befestigungselement 18 eingebrachte Spannung so gewählt, dass die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 in ihrer Position drehfähig ist und sich im druckausgeglichenen Zustand nicht von den Einlassöffnungen 16 abhebt. Außerdem sind die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 und das Befestigungselement 18 bündig in die Senkbohrung eingelassen, damit kein Volumen der Niederdruckkammer 5 verloren geht.So is in accordance with the Fig. 2 In the valve housing bottom 7 of the reciprocating compressor 1, an inlet check valve 15 which connects the low pressure chamber 5 to the atmosphere. To this inlet check valve 15 includes a plurality of, arranged on a common circular path inlet openings 16 and, all inlet openings 16 covering, inlet closure membrane 17. Here, the inlet closure membrane 17 is fitted in an inner counterbore, which has a crowned or angled bottom hole. A centered and mushroom-type fastener 18 secures the inlet closure membrane 17 and holds the inlet closure membrane 17 under a slight tension on the bottom of the counterbore. In this case, this introduced by the fastening element 18 voltage is chosen so that the inlet closure membrane 17 is rotatable in position and not lifted in the pressure-balanced state from the inlet openings 16. In addition, the inlet closure membrane 17 and the fastening element 18 are flush in the counterbore so that no volume of the low-pressure chamber 5 is lost.

So befindet sich weiterhin im Verdichterkolben 9 ein durchgängiger Überströmkanal 19, der die Niederdruckkammer 5 und die Hochdruckkammer 6 miteinander verbindet. Gemäß der Fig. 3 ist im hochdruckseitigen Mündungsbereich dieses Überströmkanals 19 ein Überströmrückschlagventil 20 angeordnet, das die Niederdruckkammer 5 und die Hochdruckkammer 6 funktionsbedingt miteinander verbindet oder trennt. Dazu ist die Mündung des Überströmkanals 19 zu einer im Querschnitt nierenförmigen Kammer 21 aufgeweitet, wobei die Nierenform einer Kreisbahn folgt.
Das Überströmrückschlagventil 20 besteht aus einer Topfmanschette 22 aus Kunststoff, die mit ihrem Boden auf die Stirnfläche des Hochdruckkolbens 11 aufliegt und an der Innenwand der Hochdruckkammer 6 dichtend anliegt. Im Bereich des Überströmkanals 19 ist die Topfmanschette 22 durchbrochen.
Zum Überströmrückschlagventil 20 gehört weiterhin ein besonders ausgeführter Ventilhalter 23, der passend in den Innenraum der Topfmanschette 22 eingesetzt ist und der in der Fig. 4 näher gezeigt wird. Dieser Ventilhalter 23 besitzt demnach eine äußere Form, die auf den Innenraum der Topfmanschette 22 ausgerichtet ist. Von der Seite der Hochdruckkammer 6 ist eine zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 eingebracht, deren Achse um einen bestimmten Exzentrizitätsbetrag von der Achse des Hochdruckkolbens 11 entfernt angeordnet ist. Dieser Exentrizitätsbetrag sowie die Größe und die radiale Lage der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 gewährleisten, dass die zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 in Überdeckung mit der nierenförmigen Kammer 21 des Überströmkanals 19 liegt. Der Ventilhalter 23 ist außerhalb der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 mit verteilt angeordneten Befestigungselementen 25 zur lagebestimmenden Verankerung mit dem Hochdruckkolben 11 ausgerüstet.
Im äußeren radialen Bereich der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 befinden sich eine erste Durchgangsbohrung 26 mit einem kleineren Durchmesser und eine zweite Durchgangsbohrung 27 mit einem größeren Durchmesser, die einen gleichen oder unterschiedlichen Abstand zur Achse der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 aufweisen und die in ihrer Lage und in ihrer Ausdehnung so ausgelegt sind, dass sie mit der nierenförmigen Kammer 21 des Überströmkanals 19 in Überdeckung liegen. Neben der ersten Durchgangsbohrung 26 und der zweiten Durchgangsbohrung 27 können in gleicher Art weitere Durchgangsbohrungen eingesetzt werden. In die zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 ist eine frei aufliegende Überströmverschlussmembran 28 mit einem solchen Spiel eingepasst, dass sie in Drehrichtung und in axialer Richtung frei beweglich ist und der ringförmige Zwischenraum zwischen der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 und der Innenwand der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 als Luftdurchtritt geeignet ist. Zur Verringerung der Reibungswiderstände sind die benachbarten Kanten der zylindrischen Ausnehmung 24 und der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 abgerundet bzw. gebrochen ausgeführt. Die zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 ist weiterhin mit einem Anschlaggitter 29 abgedeckt, das einerseits den axialen Hub der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 begrenzt und andererseits dem freigegebenen Druckluftstrom einen weitestgehend freien Durchtritt gewährt. Dabei ist die Struktur der Gitterstreben frei gewählt, wobei die Durchbrüche im Anschlaggitter 29 so klein ausgeführt sind, dass sich die Überströmverschlussmembran 28 nicht verklemmen kann. Die Durchbrüche können auch unterschiedlich groß sein.
Thus, a continuous overflow channel 19, which connects the low-pressure chamber 5 and the high-pressure chamber 6 to one another, is furthermore located in the compressor piston 9. According to the Fig. 3 is arranged in the high-pressure side mouth region of this overflow 19, a Überströmrückschlagventil 20, the function of the low pressure chamber 5 and the high-pressure chamber 6 connects or disconnects due to function. For this purpose, the mouth of the overflow channel 19 is expanded to a kidney-shaped in cross-section chamber 21, wherein the kidney shape follows a circular path.
The overflow check valve 20 consists of a cup sleeve 22 made of plastic, which rests with its bottom on the end face of the high pressure piston 11 and sealingly abuts the inner wall of the high pressure chamber 6. In the region of the overflow channel 19, the cup sleeve 22 is broken.
For overflow check valve 20 further includes a specially designed valve holder 23 which is fittingly inserted into the interior of the cup sleeve 22 and in the Fig. 4 is shown in more detail. This valve holder 23 therefore has an outer shape, which is aligned with the interior of the cup 22. From the side of the high-pressure chamber 6, a cylindrical recess 24 is introduced, the axis of which is arranged at a certain amount of eccentricity away from the axis of the high-pressure piston 11. This amount of eccentricity as well as the size and the radial position of the cylindrical recess 24 ensure that the cylindrical recess 24 is in register with the kidney-shaped chamber 21 of the overflow channel 19. The valve holder 23 is equipped outside the cylindrical recess 24 with distributed arranged fastening elements 25 for position-determining anchoring with the high pressure piston 11.
In the outer radial region of the cylindrical recess 24 are a first through hole 26 having a smaller diameter and a second through hole 27 having a larger diameter, which have an equal or different distance from the axis of the cylindrical recess 24 and in their position and in their extension are designed so that they communicate with the kidney-shaped chamber 21st the overflow 19 are in overlap. In addition to the first through hole 26 and the second through hole 27 further through holes can be used in the same way. In the cylindrical recess 24 a freely overflow Überströmverschlussmembran 28 is fitted with such a game that it is freely movable in the direction of rotation and in the axial direction and the annular space between the Überströmverschlussmembran 28 and the inner wall of the cylindrical recess 24 is suitable as an air passage. To reduce the frictional resistance, the adjacent edges of the cylindrical recess 24 and the Überströmverschlussmembran 28 are rounded or broken executed. The cylindrical recess 24 is further covered with a stop grid 29, on the one hand limits the axial stroke of the Überströmverschlussmembran 28 and on the other hand grants the released compressed air flow a largely free passage. The structure of the lattice struts is chosen freely, wherein the openings in the stop grid 29 are made so small that the Überströmverschlussmembran 28 can not jam. The breakthroughs can also be different sizes.

Weiterhin besitzt die Hochdruckkammer 6 ein Auslassrückschlagventil 30 zur Verbindung der Hochdruckkammer 6 mit einer Verbraucherleitung. Dieses Auslassrückschlagventil 30 ist nach der Fig. 3 zwischen dem Ventilgehäuse 4 und dem Ventilgehäusedeckel 8 angeordnet und besteht aus einer am Umfang eingespannten Ventilplatte 31 und einer Auslassverschlussmembran 32. Die Ventilplatte 31 ist gegenüber dem Ventilgehäuse 4 und gegenüber dem Ventilgehäusedeckel 8 abgedichtet ausgeführt und besitzt mehrere auf einem gemeinsamen Teilkreis angeordnete Auslassöffnungen 33. Die Auslassverschlussmembran 32 ist als ein Ring gestaltet und besitzt demnach eine mittige Durchflussbohrung 34. Mit ihrem Umfang ist die Auslassverschlussmembran 32 zwischen der Ventilplatte 31 und dem Ventilgehäusedeckel 8 festgehalten, während die Durchflussbohrung 34 mit ihrem Durchmesser so ausreichend kleiner als der Teilkreisdurchmesser der Durchmesser der Auslassöffnungen ausgelegt ist, dass die Auslassöffnungen 33 von der Auslassverschlussmembran 32 voll überdeckt werden. Die Auslassverschlussmembran 32 ist ohne konstruktive Vorspannung eingebaut, so dass sich die Schließkraft nur aus der materialspezifischen Eigenspannung ergibt. Die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 des Einlassrückschlagventiles 15, die Überströmverschlussmembran 28 des Überströmrückschlagventiles 28 und die Auslassverschlussmembran 32 des Auslassrückschlagventiles 30 bestehen aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus einem elastischen Polymer, das in der Hauptsache eine hohe Durchschlagsfestigkeit besitzt, hoch temperaturbeständig ist und elastische Eigenschaften mit Memory-Effekt aufweist.Furthermore, the high-pressure chamber 6 has an outlet check valve 30 for connecting the high-pressure chamber 6 to a consumer line. This outlet check valve 30 is after Fig. 3 The valve plate 31 is embodied sealed relative to the valve housing 4 and relative to the valve housing cover 8 and has a plurality of outlet openings 33 arranged on a common graduated circle. The valve plate 31 is arranged between the valve housing 4 and the valve housing cover 8 and consists of a circumferentially clamped valve plate 31 and a Auslassverschlussmembran Outlet closure membrane 32 is designed as a ring and thus has a central flow bore 34. With its periphery, the outlet closure membrane 32 is held between the valve plate 31 and the valve housing cover 8, while the flow bore 34 is sufficiently smaller in diameter than the pitch circle diameter the diameter of the outlet openings is designed such that the outlet openings 33 are completely covered by the outlet closure membrane 32. The Auslassverschlussmembran 32 is installed without constructive bias, so that the closing force results only from the material-specific residual stress. The inlet closure membrane 17 of the inlet check valve 15, the overflow closure membrane 28 of the overflow check valve 28 and the outlet closure membrane 32 of the outlet check valve 30 are made of plastic, in particular of an elastic polymer, which has a high dielectric strength in the main, is highly temperature resistant and has elastic properties with memory effect ,

Während des Betriebes wird die drehende Bewegung der vom Antriebsmotor 2 angetriebenen Kurbelwelle 14 über das Pleuel 13 in eine oszillierende Linearbewegung umgewandelt und auf den Ventilkolben 9 übertragen. Damit bewegen sich gleichermaßen der Niederdruckkolben 10 und der Hochdruckkolben 11 zwischen zwei gegenüberliegenden Umkehrpunkten und bilden so zwei sich im Volumen wechselweise verändernde Niederdruckkammer 5 und Hochdruckkammer 6. Dabei entsteht bei einer sich vergrößernden Niederdruckkammer 5 ein solcher Unterdruck, der die erste Einlassverschlussmembran 17 an seinem äußeren Umfang anheben und Außenluft durch die Einlassöffnungen 16 einströmen lässt. Dieser Öffnungsdruck ergibt sich aus der Summe der Materialspannung der Einlassverschlussmembran 17 und der einbaubedingten Vorspannung an der Einlassverschlussmembran 17. Gleichzeitig schließt der Unterdruck die Überströmverschlussmembran 28 des Überströmrückschlagventiles 20.During operation, the rotating movement of the driven by the drive motor 2 crankshaft 14 is converted via the connecting rod 13 in an oscillating linear motion and transmitted to the valve piston 9. Thus, both the low-pressure piston 10 and the high-pressure piston 11 move between two opposing reversal points and thus form two alternately changing low-pressure chamber 5 and high-pressure chamber 6. This results in a magnifying low-pressure chamber 5 such a negative pressure, the first inlet closure membrane 17 at its outer Raise the circumference and allow outside air to flow through the inlet openings 16. This opening pressure results from the sum of the material tension of the inlet closure membrane 17 and the installation-related prestress at the inlet closure membrane 17. At the same time, the negative pressure closes the overflow closure membrane 28 of the overflow check valve 20.

Am oberen Umkehrpunkt der Bewegung des Ventilkolbens 9 stellt sich an der Einlassverschlussmembran 17 ein ausgeglichener Druck zwischen der Niederdruckkammer 5 und der Atmosphäre ein, wodurch die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 durch die genannten Kräfte der Vorspannung auf die Einlassöffnungen 16 gedrückt wird und diese verschließt. Auf Grund der optimalen Auswahl der Material- und Einbauspannungen treten einerseits beim Ansaugen geringste Durchflusswiderstände auf und schließt andererseits die Einlassverschlussmembran 17 in kürzester Zeit nach dem Erreichen des oberen Umkehrpunktes. Das verbessert den Wirkungsgrad des Kolbenverdichters erheblich.At the upper reversal point of the movement of the valve piston 9, a balanced pressure between the low-pressure chamber 5 and the atmosphere is established at the inlet closure membrane 17, whereby the inlet closure membrane 17 is pressed onto the inlet openings 16 by the said forces of prestressing and closes them. Due to the optimal selection of the material and installation voltages occur on the one hand during suction least flow resistance and on the other hand closes the inlet closure membrane 17 in the shortest possible time after reaching the upper reversal point. This considerably improves the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor.

Mit der umgekehrten Bewegung des Ventilkolbens 9 wird die Niederdruckkammer 5 verkleinert, sodass die dort eingespannte Luft unter Druck durch den Überströmkanal 19 zur Hochdruckkammer 6 befördert wird. Dabei strömt die Luft zunächst in die nierenförmige Kammer 21 des Überströmkanales 19 und belastet von dort die Überströmverschlussmembran 28 im Bereich und im Umfang der ersten Durchgangsbohrung 26 und der zweiten Durchgangsbohrung 27. Damit wirkt über die erste Durchgangsbohrung 26 eine erste Öffnungskraft und über die zweite Durchgangsbohrung 27 eine zweite Öffnungskraft auf die Überströmverschlussmembran 28 ein, die beide parallel zueinander wirken. Diese beiden Kräfte sind so unterschiedlich, wie die Querschnitte der beiden Durchgangsbohrungen 26 und 27. Damit kommt die freiliegende Überströmverschlussmembran 28 in eine Schieflage und durch radiale Kraftkomponenten in eine radiale Drehbewegung, die von der kleineren Durchflussbohrung 26 zur größeren Durchflussbohrung 27 gerichtet ist und die die Lage der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 zu den beiden Durchgangsbohrungen 26, 27 stetig verändert. Das verlängert die Lebensdauer der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 entscheidend, da die Belastung des Materials der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 umlaufend verteilt wird und somit eine vorzeitige Überlastung nur einer bestimmten Stelle der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 vermieden wird. Eine solche Überlastung führt schnell zum Durchschlagen und zu einem Ausfall des Überströmrückschlagventiles 20. Die freiliegende Überströmverschlussmembran 28 setzt dem durchfließenden Druckluftstrom nur einen geringsten Widerstand entgegen.With the reverse movement of the valve piston 9, the low pressure chamber 5 is reduced, so that the air clamped there is conveyed under pressure through the overflow 19 to the high pressure chamber 6. In this case, the air first flows into the kidney-shaped chamber 21 of the overflow 19 and loads from there the Überströmverschlussmembran 28 in the area and in the circumference of the first through hole 26 and the second through hole 27. Thus acts on the first through hole 26, a first opening force and the second through hole 27, a second opening force on the spill over membrane 28, both of which act in parallel. These two forces are as different as the cross sections of the two through holes 26 and 27. Thus, the exposed Überströmverschlussmembran 28 comes into an imbalance and by radial force components in a radial rotational movement, which is directed from the smaller flow bore 26 to the larger flow bore 27 and the Position of Überströmverschlussmembran 28 to the two through holes 26, 27 changed steadily. This prolongs the service life of the overflow closure membrane 28, since the load on the material of the overflow closure membrane 28 is distributed circumferentially, thus avoiding premature overloading of only a specific point of the overflow closure membrane 28. Such an overload quickly leads to strike through and failure of the overflow check valve 20. The exposed Überströmverschlussmembran 28 opposes the flow of compressed air flow only a slight resistance.

Am unteren Umkehrpunkt der Bewegung des Ventilkolbens 9 stellt sich wieder ein ausgeglichener Druck zwischen der Niederdruckkammer 5 und der Hochdruckkammer 6 ein, der das Überströmrückschlagventil 20 schließen lässt. Durch die freie und reibungsarme Führung der Überströmverschlussmembran 28 erfolgt die Schließung äußerst reaktionsschnell.At the lower reversal point of the movement of the valve piston 9 is again a balanced pressure between the low-pressure chamber 5 and the high-pressure chamber 6, which can close the overflow check valve 20. Due to the free and low-friction guidance of Überströmverschlussmembran 28, the closure is extremely responsive.

Mit der die Hochdruckkammer 6 verkleinernden Bewegung des Ventilkolbens 9 wird die in der Hochdruckkammer 6 eingeschlossene Druckluft über das Auslassrückschlagventil 30 verdrängt. Dabei passiert die Druckluft die von der Einlassverschlussmembran 32 freigegebenen Auslassöffnungen 33. Am oberen Umkehrpunkt der Bewegung des Ventilkolbens 9 schließt das Auslassrückschlagventil 30 wiederum äußerst reaktionsschnell.With the movement of the valve piston 9, which reduces the high-pressure chamber 6, the compressed air enclosed in the high-pressure chamber 6 is displaced via the outlet check valve 30. The compressed air passes from the inlet closure membrane 32 released outlet openings 33. At the upper reversal point of the movement of the valve piston 9, the outlet check valve 30 in turn closes extremely fast reaction.
