Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Hydrospeicher mit einem Speichergehäuse in Form eines Rohres gemäß der Merkmalsausgestaltung des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a hydraulic accumulator with a storage housing in the form of a tube according to the feature configuration of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Vielzahl an verschiedenen Hydrospeichern ist handelsüblich und findet bei Hydroanlagen für verschiedene Anwendungszwecke Verwendung. Sie dienen unter anderem zur Energiespeicherung, Notbetätigung, zum Kräfteausgleich, zur Dämpfung von Druckstößen, zur Pulsationsdämpfung, zur Fahrzeugfederung, Zurückgewinnung von Bremsenergie und dergleichen. Aufgrund der vielfältigen Einsatzmöglichkeiten, die einen Bedarf an Hydrospeichern in großen Stückzahlen zur Folge haben, ist eine Bauweise anzustreben, die eine einfache und kostengünstige Fertigung von Hydrospeichern mit sicherem Betriebsverhalten ermöglicht.A variety of different hydraulic accumulators is commercially available and used in hydro plants for various applications. They are used inter alia for energy storage, emergency operation, to balance forces, for damping of pressure surges, for pulsation damping, for vehicle suspension, recovery of braking energy and the like. Due to the variety of applications, which have a need for hydraulic accumulators in large quantities result, a construction method should be sought, which allows a simple and cost-effective production of hydraulic accumulators with safe operation.

Durch die DE 101 61 797 C1 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Hydrospeicher mit einem Speichergehäuse in Form eines Rohres bekannt, in dem ein in dessen Axialrichtung bewegbares Trennelement, vorzugsweise ein Trennkolben, beidseits an es angrenzende Druckräume voneinander trennt, und bei dem das Rohr an zumindest einem Ende durch ein deckelartiges Abschlußteil abgeschlossen ist, das eine Anlagefläche für die Verbindung mit dem betreffenden Endrand des Rohres aufweist, wobei die Anlagefläche einen Flächenteil in Form einer axial ins Innere des Rohres vorspringenden Ringfläche zur formschlüssigen Abstützung der Rohrwand gegen Radialkräfte sowie eine eine Erstreckung in Radialrichtung aufweisende Ringfläche zur formschlüssigen.Abstützung der Rohrwand gegen Axialkräfte aufweist.
Eine dahingehend vergleichbare gattungsgemäße Lösung ist auch durch das DE 71 13 311 U bekannt.
By the DE 101 61 797 C1 a generic hydraulic accumulator with a storage housing in the form of a tube is known in which a separable in the axial direction separating element, preferably a separating piston, on both sides adjacent pressure chambers from each other, and wherein the tube is closed at at least one end by a cover-like closure member, the one contact surface for the connection with the relevant Having end edge of the tube, wherein the contact surface has a surface part in the form of an axially projecting into the interior of the tube ring surface for positive support of the pipe wall against radial forces and an extension in the radial direction having annular surface for positive .Abstützung the pipe wall against axial forces.
A comparable to this generic solution is also by the DE 71 13 311 U known.

Dadurch, dass bei den bekannten Lösungen am deckelartigen Abschlußteil Ringflächen in der Weise ausgebildet sind, dass der anliegende Endrand des das Speichergehäuse bildenden Rohres sowohl gegen Radialkräfte, die an der Verbindungsstelle mit dem deckelartigen Abschlußteil wirksam sind, als auch gegen Axialkräfte jeweils formschlüssig abgestützt ist, ist ein besonders formstabiler Abschluß des Rohrendes des Speichergehäuses mit geringem Materialaufwand und mit entsprechend geringem Fertigungsaufwand möglich. Was das Einleiten von Kräften im Betrieb des Hydrospeichers anbelangt, die zwischen Rohrwand und Platte an der Verbindungsstelle einwirken, lassen die bekannten Lösungen im Hinblick auf eine lange Standzeit jedoch noch Wünsche offen.Characterized in that in the known solutions on the cover-like closure part annular surfaces are formed in such a way that the adjacent end edge of the storage housing forming tube is supported both against radial forces which are effective at the junction with the cover-like closure member, as well as against axial forces in each case form-fitting is a particularly dimensionally stable completion of the pipe end of the storage enclosure with low material costs and with correspondingly low production costs possible. As regards the introduction of forces in the operation of the hydraulic accumulator, which act between the pipe wall and the plate at the junction, the known solutions, however, still leave something to be desired with regard to a long service life.

Der Erfindung liegt demgemäß die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hydrospeicher zur Verfügung zu stellen, der unter Beibehalten der Vorteile im Stand der Technik, wie geringer Materialaufwand bei leichtgewichtigem Aufbau mit entsprechend niedrigen Herstellungskosten und fertigungstechnisch einfach herstellbar, dahingehend weiter zu verbessern, dass dieser sich durch ein besonders sicheres, langandauerndes Betriebsverhalten auszeichnet. Eine dahingehende Aufgabe löst ein Hydrospeicher mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 in seiner Gesamtheit.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a hydraulic accumulator available, while maintaining the advantages of the prior art, such as low material costs in lightweight construction with correspondingly low production costs and manufacturing technology easy to manufacture, to further improve that this is a particularly safe, long-lasting operating characteristics. This object is achieved by a hydraulic accumulator with the features of claim 1 in its entirety.

Dadurch, dass gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 das Abschlußteil durch eine Platte gebildet ist, die eine Verformung in Form eines Ringwulstes aufweist, der ins Innere des Rohres vorspringt und an der radial außen liegenden Flanke seiner vorspringenden Konvexität mit den die Anlagefläche bildenden Ringflächen versehen ist, ist derart eine wellenförmige Gestaltung zumindest für einen Teilbereich der Platte erreicht, die beispielsweise durch Kaltverformung einfach und rationell herstellbar ist, dass es zu einem sehr günstigen Verlauf des Kraftflusses bei der Einleitung von Kräften kommt, die zwischen Rohrwand und Platte an der jeweiligen Verbindungsstelle einwirken, so dass sich die erfindungsgemäße Lösung insbesondere durch ein sehr sicheres Betriebsverhalten auszeichnet.Characterized in that according to the characterizing part of claim 1, the closing part is formed by a plate having a deformation in the form of an annular bead which projects into the interior of the tube and provided on the radially outer edge of its projecting convexity with the annular surface forming the contact surface is, such a wave-shaped configuration is achieved at least for a portion of the plate, which is simple and efficient to produce, for example, by cold working, that there is a very favorable course of power flow in the introduction of forces between the pipe wall and plate at the respective junction act, so that the inventive solution is characterized in particular by a very safe performance.

Insbesondere ergeben sich dadurch auch günstige Verhältnisse für eine Schweißnahtanbindung der Rohrwand an die radial außen liegende Flanke des Ringwulstes.In particular, this results in favorable conditions for a weld seam connection of the pipe wall to the radially outer flank of the annular bead.

Eine besonders günstige Materialausnützung ergibt sich bei Ausführungsbeispielen, bei denen der Ringwulst der Platte durch Kaltfließpressen aus der Ebene der Platte ausgewölbt ist. Während hierbei die Materialstärke der Platte aufgrund der Streckung im Wölbungsbereich geringfügig vermindert wird, verbleibt die Materialstärke der Platte in an die Auswölbung beidseits angrenzenden ebenen Bereichen unverändert, so dass in vorteilhafter Weise die volle Materialstärke in Bereichen der Platte zur Verfügung steht, in denen die Platte durchgehende Bohrungen aufweist. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um eine im Zentrum der Platte gelegene Anschlußöffnung als Zugang zum angrenzenden Druckraum handeln oder um Befestigungslöcher, die in seitlichen Erweiterungen der Platte vorgesehen sind, die Flanschteile bilden.A particularly favorable material utilization results in embodiments in which the annular bead of the plate is bulged by cold extrusion from the plane of the plate. While in this case the material thickness of the plate is slightly reduced due to the stretch in the bulge, the material thickness of the plate remains unchanged in adjacent to the bulge on both flat areas, so that advantageously the full thickness of material in areas of the plate is available, in which the plate has through holes. This may be, for example, a connection opening located in the center of the plate as access to the adjacent pressure space or around fastening holes, which are provided in lateral extensions of the plate, forming the flange parts.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Hydrospeichers ist ferner vorgesehen, eine Ausformung eines geschwungenen, vorstehenden Domes im Zentrum des Endteiles des Speichergehäuses anzuordnen, was insoweit zu einer Versteifung des Endteiles führt. Die Gefährdung der Formstabilität durch Dehnung und Spannung wird dadurch verringert, so dass die Voraussetzungen für einen Leichtbau des Hydrospeichers gegeben sind, was zu der erstrebten Verringerung der Materialkosten und damit der Gesamt-Fertigungskosten führt.In a preferred embodiment of the hydraulic accumulator according to the invention is further provided to arrange a formation of a curved, protruding dome in the center of the end portion of the storage housing, which leads to a stiffening of the end part. The risk of dimensional stability by stretching and tension is thereby reduced, so that the conditions for a lightweight construction of the hydraulic accumulator are given, which leads to the desired reduction in material costs and thus the overall manufacturing costs.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt des Ausführungsbeispieles des erfindungsgemäßen Hydrospeichers in Form eines Kolbenspeichers;
  • Fig. 2 einen gegenüber Fig. 1 in größerem Maßstab gezeichneten Teillängsschnitt nur eines Endbereiches des Ausführungsbeispieles, in welchem das das Speichergehäuse bildende Rohr durch ein deckelartiges Abschlußteil abgeschlossen ist, und
  • Fig. 3 eine im Maßstab von Fig. 1 gezeichnetes Endansicht des Ausführungsbeispieles, gesehen auf das deckelartige Abschlußteil.
The invention with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing is explained in detail. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a longitudinal section of the embodiment of the hydraulic accumulator according to the invention in the form of a piston accumulator;
  • Fig. 2 one opposite Fig. 1 drawn on a larger scale partial longitudinal section only one end portion of the embodiment in which the storage housing forming tube is completed by a lid-like closure member, and
  • Fig. 3 a scale of Fig. 1 drawn end view of the embodiment, as seen on the lid-like end part.

In Fig. 1, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Hydrospeichers in Form eines Kolbenspeichers zeigt, ist ein den Hauptteil des Speichergehäuses bildendes, zylindrisches Metallrohr mit 1 bezeichnet. Am in der Fig. linksseitig gelegenen Ende ist das Rohr 1 durch ein mit dem Rohrmantel einstückiges Endteil 3 abgeschlossen. Dieses ist durch Warmumformen des betreffenden Endabschnittes des Rohres 1 ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch eine als Rollieren bekannte Umformtechnik. Am gegenüberliegenden Ende ist das das Speichergehäuse bildende Rohr 1 durch ein dekkelartiges Abschlußteil fluiddicht abgeschlossen, bei dem es sich beim vorliegenden Beispiel um eine Platte 5 handelt.In Fig. 1 1, which shows an embodiment of the hydraulic accumulator according to the invention in the form of a piston accumulator, a cylindrical metal tube forming the main part of the accumulator housing is designated by 1. At the left-hand end in the figure, the tube 1 is closed by an integral with the tube shell end portion 3. This is formed by hot forming of the relevant end portion of the tube 1, for example by a known as rolling forming technology. At the opposite end of the storage housing forming tube 1 is closed fluid-tight by a dekkelartiges final part, which is a plate 5 in the present example.

In dem so abgeschlossenen Speichergehäuse ist ein Kolben 9 bezüglich einer Gehäuselängsachse 7 verschiebbar, der an seinem Umfang durch Dichtelemente 11 gegenüber der Gehäuseinnenwand abgedichtet ist. Somit bildet der Kolben 9 ein bewegbares Trennelement zwischen beidseits angrenzenden Druckräumen 13 und 15. Um das Volumen des Druckraumes 13 möglichst groß zu gestalten, was von Vorteil ist, wenn der Hydrospeicher, wie beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel, als hydropneumatischer Speicher ausgelegt ist und der Druckraum 13 für die Aufnahme einer Druckgasfüllung vorgesehen ist, weist der Kolben 9 eine zur Achse 7 konzentrische, innere Mulde 17 auf. Ein am Endteil 3 des Gehäuses zentral gelegener Druckgasanschluß mit einer Öffnung 18, die mittels eines Verschlußteiles 19 abgeschlossen ist, ermöglicht die Befüllung des Druckraumes 13 mit einem entsprechenden Druckgas, namentlich Stickstoffgas für hydropneumatische Anwendungen. Für die Fluidverbindung zum Druckraum 15 befindet sich in der Platte 5 konzentrisch zur Längsachse 7 eine Anschlußöffnung 21.In the thus completed storage housing, a piston 9 with respect to a housing longitudinal axis 7 is displaceable, which is sealed at its periphery by sealing elements 11 relative to the housing inner wall. Thus, the piston 9 forms a movable separating element between both sides adjacent pressure chambers 13 and 15. To make the volume of the pressure chamber 13 as large as possible, which is advantageous if the hydraulic accumulator, As in the embodiment shown, is designed as a hydropneumatic storage and the pressure chamber 13 is provided for receiving a pressurized gas filling, the piston 9 has a concentric to the axis 7, inner trough 17. An end portion 3 of the housing centrally located compressed gas connection with an opening 18 which is closed by means of a closure member 19, allows the filling of the pressure chamber 13 with a corresponding pressurized gas, namely nitrogen gas for hydropneumatic applications. For the fluid connection to the pressure chamber 15 is in the plate 5 concentric with the longitudinal axis 7, a connection opening 21st

Wie am deutlichsten aus Fig. 2 zu ersehen ist, ist die Materialstärke der Platte 5 wesentlich größer als die Wanddicke des Rohres 1 und beträgt beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mehr als das Doppelte dieser Wanddicke. Außerdem ist die Platte 5 so verformt, dass ein aus der Plattenebene ausgewölbter Bereich einen zur Längsachse 7 konzentrischen Ringwulst 23 bildet, dessen aus der Plattenebene vorstehender Teil eine gerundete Konvexität 25 bildet. Durch die den Ringwulst 23 bildende Auswölbung ergibt sich an der Platte 5 ein vom Ringwulst 23 umgebener, innerer ebener Bereich 27 sowie ein radial außerhalb des Ringwulstes 23 gelegener ebener Bereich 29. Wie aus Fig. 2 entnehmbar ist, ist die Auswölbung so ausgebildet, dass der Krümmungsradius der Auswölbung an den Übergängen zu den ebenen Bereichen 27 und 29 jeweils größer ist als in dem den Gipfel des Ringwulstes 23 bildenden Bereich.How most obvious Fig. 2 can be seen, the material thickness of the plate 5 is substantially greater than the wall thickness of the tube 1 and is in the illustrated embodiment more than twice this wall thickness. In addition, the plate 5 is deformed so that an area bulged out of the plane of the plate forms an annular bead 23 which is concentric with the longitudinal axis 7 and whose part projecting from the plane of the plate forms a rounded convexity 25. By the annular bead 23 forming bulge results in the plate 5 surrounded by the annular bead 23, inner planar region 27 and a radially outside of the annular bead 23 located flat area 29. As from Fig. 2 can be removed, the bulge is formed so that the radius of curvature of the bulge at the transitions to the planar regions 27 and 29 is greater in each case than in the top of the annular bead 23 forming region.

Bei in dieser Weise durchgeführter Auswölbung der Platte 5, vorzugsweise durch Kaltumformen, verbleibt die Materialstärke der Platte 5 in den an den Ringwulst 23 beidseits jeweils angrenzenden ebenen Bereichen 27 und 29 unverändert, während sich durch die Materialstreckung lediglich innerhalb halb des Ringwulstes 23 eine geringe Abnahme der Materialstärke ergibt.
Die zur Längsachse 7 konzentrische Anschlußöffnung 21 befindet sich somit in einem Bereich, in dem die Materialstärke durch die Verformung der Platte nicht geschmälert ist, was sich für die Anbringung von Anschlußarmaturen vorteilhaft erweist. Wenn, wie beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel, in dem radial außerhalb des Ringwulstes 23 gelegenen ebenen Bereich 29 die Platte 5 Erweiterungen 31 aufweist, die Teile eines Flansches für die Befestigung des Hydrospeichers bilden, dann ist der Umstand, dass in dem die Erweiterungen 31 aufweisenden, ebenen Bereich 29 die Materialstärke unverändert ist, ebenfalls von großem Vorteil, weil so an den Befestigungslöchern 33 der Flanschteile der volle Materialquerschnitt zur Verfügung steht.
When carried out in this way bulge of the plate 5, preferably by cold forming, the material thickness of the plate 5 remains unchanged in the annular bead 23 on both sides adjacent flat regions 27 and 29, while the material stretching only within half of the annular bead 23 results in a small decrease in material thickness.
The concentric to the longitudinal axis 7 connecting opening 21 is thus located in a region in which the material thickness is not diminished by the deformation of the plate, which proves advantageous for the attachment of connection fittings. If, as in the embodiment shown, in the flat region 29 located radially outside of the annular bead 23, the plate 5 has extensions 31 which form parts of a flange for the attachment of the hydraulic accumulator, then the fact that the extensions 31 have them is level Area 29, the material thickness is unchanged, also of great advantage, because so at the mounting holes 33 of the flange of the full material cross section is available.

Wie am deutlichsten aus Fig. 2 entnehmbar ist, erfolgt die Verbindung zwischen dem Endrand des Rohres 1 und der Platte 5 an einer Anlagefläche der Platte 5, die an der radial außenliegenden Flanke 35 der Konvexität 25 des Ringwulstes 23 gelegen ist, so dass dessen Gipfel 37 ins Innere des Rohres 1 hinein vorspringt. Wie in Fig. 2 an der rechts gelegenen Verbindungsstelle erkennbar ist, weist die Anlagefläche am Ringwulst 23 zwei zueinander in etwa in rechtem Winkel verlaufende Flächenteile auf, nämlich eine axial ins Innere des Rohres 1 vorspringende Ringfläche 39 und eine eine Erstreckung in Radialrichtung aufweisende Ringfläche 41. Somit ergibt sich für das Rohr 1 an der Ringfläche 39 am Ringwulst 23 der Platte 5 eine formschlüssige Abstützung der Rohrwand gegen Radialkräfte und eine formschlüssige Abstützung gegen Axialkräfte an der Ringfläche 41. Für die Einleitung der an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen Rohr 1 und Platte 5 wirkenden Kräfte ergibt sich durch den so gebildeten Formschluß in Verbindung mit der versteifend wirkenden "Wellung", die der Ringwulst 23 darstellt, ein optimaler Kraftfluß, so dass hohe Formstabilität bei geringen Anforderungen an die Materialstärke erreicht wird.How most obvious Fig. 2 can be removed, the connection between the end edge of the tube 1 and the plate 5 at a contact surface of the plate 5, which is located on the radially outer edge 35 of the convexity 25 of the annular bead 23, so that the summit 37 into the interior of the tube 1 into it projects. As in Fig. 2 can be seen at the junction located on the right, the contact surface on the annular bead 23 two mutually approximately at right angles extending surface parts, namely an axially into the interior of the tube 1 projecting annular surface 39 and an extension in the radial direction annular surface 41. Thus, results for the pipe 1 on the annular surface 39 on the annular bead 23 of the plate 5 a positive support of the pipe wall against radial forces and a positive support against axial forces on the annular surface 41. For the initiation of acting at the junction between pipe 1 and plate 5 forces results from the thus formed positive engagement in conjunction with the stiffening acting "corrugation", which represents the annular bead 23, an optimal power flow, so that high dimensional stability is achieved with low demands on the material thickness.

Fig. 2 zeigt an der in der Fig. links gelegenen Verbindungsstelle zwischen Rohr 1 und Platte 5 eine Schweißnahtverbindung 43, die als bevorzugte Befestigungsart am Übergangsbereich der Ringflächen 39 und 41 ausgebildet ist, welch letztere daher an der in Fig. 2 links gelegenen Verbindungsstelle nicht sichtbar sind. Fig. 2 shows at the left in Fig. Connection point between the tube 1 and plate 5, a weld joint 43, which is formed as a preferred attachment to the transition region of the annular surfaces 39 and 41, which latter therefore on the in Fig. 2 left-side joint are not visible.

Wie ebenfalls am deutlichsten aus Fig. 2 erkennbar ist, weist die Innenwand des Rohres 1 am Endrandbereich eine die Wanddicke des Rohres 1 zum Endrand hin bereichsweise verringernde Anfasung 45 auf. Diese schafft Raum für den ins Innere des Rohres 1 vorspringenden Flankenteil am Gipfel 37 des Ringwulstes 23, über dessen Gipfel das Rohr 1 mit seinem Endrand sozusagen aufgestülpt ist.As also clearest Fig. 2 can be seen, the inner wall of the tube 1 at the Endrandbereich a wall thickness of the tube 1 to the end edge out in some areas reducing chamfer 45. This creates space for the projecting into the interior of the tube 1 edge portion at the summit 37 of the annular bead 23, over the summit of the pipe 1 is so to speak, with its end edge exposed.

Wie bereits erwähnt, ist der in Fig. 1 links gelegene Abschluß des Speichergehäuses durch einen Endteil 3 gebildet, der als einstückiger Teil des Rohres 1 aus dessen Wand durch Warmumformtechnik gebildet ist, einer Technik, wie sie beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung "Rollieren" bekannt ist. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Hydrospeicher ist hierbei der Endteil 3 in der Weise geformt, dass in dem die Längsachse 7 umgebenden Zentralbereich ein leicht vorstehender Dom 4 mit geschwungenen Flanken 6 gebildet wird. Wie aus Fig. 1 erkennbar ist, bilden die Flanken 6 an der Außenseite eine Konkavität, an die sich ein zur Längsachse 7 konzentrischer, im wesentlichen ebener Zentralteil anschließt. In dessen Zentrum befindet sich eine Füllöffnung 18 zum Befüllen des Druckraumes 13 mit Druckgas, wobei an der Öffnung 18 ein Verschlußkörper 19 vorgesehen ist.As already mentioned, the in Fig. 1 left conclusion of the storage enclosure formed by an end portion 3, which is formed as an integral part of the tube 1 from the wall by hot forming technique, a technique such as, for example, under the name "Rolling" is known. In the case of the hydraulic accumulator according to the invention, in this case the end part 3 is shaped in such a way that a slightly protruding dome 4 with curved flanks 6 is formed in the central region surrounding the longitudinal axis 7. How out Fig. 1 can be seen, form the flanks 6 on the outside of a concavity, to which a concentric to the longitudinal axis 7, substantially flat central part connects. In the center there is a filling opening 18 for filling the pressure chamber 13 with compressed gas, wherein at the opening 18, a closure body 19 is provided.

Die geschwungene Formgebung des Domes 4 wirkt als Versteifungselement am Endteil 3, so dass Formstabilität des Speichergehäuses trotz leichter Bauweise erreicht wird.The curved shape of the dome 4 acts as a stiffening element on the end part 3, so that dimensional stability of the storage housing is achieved despite light construction.
