Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sammler mit einer Entnahmevorrichtung für ein Trocknungsmittel des Kältemittels in einer Klimaanlage für Kraftfahrzeuge, die in dem Sammler angeordnet ist, der über Ein - und Ausströmöffnungen in seiner Wandung mit einem Sammelrohr eines Kondensators der Klimaanlage verbunden ist, wobei die Entnahmevorrichtung mit einem Ende an einem Verschlussdeckel des Sammlers befestigt ist, wobei ein Aufnahmeraum für das Trocknungsmittel zwischen der Entnahmevorrichtung und der Wandung des Sammlers ausgebildet ist, und wobei die Entnahmevorrichtung im Bereich der Einströmöffnung eine Prallwand aufweist.The invention relates to a collector with a removal device for a desiccant of the refrigerant in an air conditioning system for motor vehicles, which is arranged in the collector, which is connected via inlet and outlet openings in its wall with a manifold of a condenser of the air conditioner, wherein the removal device with a End is attached to a closure lid of the collector, wherein a receiving space for the desiccant between the removal device and the wall of the collector is formed, and wherein the removal device has a baffle in the region of the inflow opening.

Die beschriebene Konstruktion ist aus dem EP -A- 1 363 089 bekannt. Mit der dortigen Konstruktion konnten die Herstellungskosten deutlich reduziert werden. Man hat jedoch festgestellt, dass dort nur ein Teil des Kältemittels mit dem Trocknungsmittel in Kontakt kommen kann, weil ein anderer Teil des Kältemittels ohne in Kontakt mit dem Kältemittel zu kommen, nach unten durch den Filterkorb weiter strömen kann, was bezüglich des ablaufenden Trocknungsprozesses als nachteilig angesehen werden könnte.
Die beschriebene Vorrichtung ist auch aus dem EP 1 522 804 A1 bekannt. Der zur Verfügung stehende Aufnahmeraum für das Trocknungsmittel im Sammler wird durch die Gestaltung der dortigen Entnahmevorrichtung deutlich reduziert.The construction described is from the EP-A-1 363 089 known. With the construction there, the production costs could be significantly reduced. However, it has been found that only a part of the refrigerant can come into contact therewith with the desiccant because another part of the refrigerant, without coming into contact with the refrigerant, can continue to flow down through the filter basket, which in terms of the running drying process could be considered disadvantageous.
The device described is also from the EP 1 522 804 A1 known. The available receiving space for the desiccant in the collector is significantly reduced by the design of the local removal device.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Konstruktion vorzuschlagen, die noch kostengünstiger ist und zu einem besseren Kontakt des Kältemittels mit dem Trocknungsmittel führt.
Die Lösung der Aufgabenstellung wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 erreicht.
Danach ist die in einem Sammler befindliche Entnahmevorrichtung von der Prallwand bis etwa zu einem als Stopfen ausgebildeten Verschlussdeckel stabartig ausgebildet, so dass auch der auf der Seite der Ein - und Ausströmöffnungen liegende Wandungsabschnitt des Sammlers als Begrenzung des Aufnahmeraums zur Verfügung steht. Der Stopfen weist eine Markierungshilfe auf, die mit der Wand des Sammlers zusammenwirkt, um den Stopfen mit der Entnahmevorrichtung stets in der vorgeschriebenen Position in den Sammler einsetzen zu können. Der in der Öffnung des Sammlers sitzende Stopfen wird, nachdem das System außer Betrieb gesetzt wurde, gelöst, und er wird gemeinsam mit der daran befestigten Entnahmevorrichtung aus dem Sammler herausgezogen, wobei der Trockner, an der Wand des Sammlers entlang rutschend, aus dem Sammler herausgenommen werden kann. Im Bedarfsfall kann ein neuer Trockner eingesetzt werden.
Durch die vorgeschlagene Ausbildung ergeben sich mehrere Vorteile. Zunächst ist noch weniger Werkstoff erforderlich, um die Entnahmevorrichtung auszubilden. Ferner wurde der zur Aufnahme des Trocknungsmittels verfügbare Raum durch die Verkleinerung der Entnahmevorrichtung entsprechend vergrößert. Außerdem wurde die Abhängigkeit der Gestaltung der Entnahmevorrichtung vom Durchmesser des Sammlers aufgehoben. Somit kann die Entnahmevorrichtung auch für Sammler unterschiedlicher Durchmesser ohne Änderungen eingesetzt werden. Darüber hinaus ergibt sich eine bessere Benetzung des Trocknungsmittels mit dem Kältemittel, ohne dass auf die vorteilhafte Prallwand verzichtet wurde. Die Markierungshilfe gewährleistet, dass die Prallwandfläche senkrecht zur Einströmrichtung angeordnet wird.The present invention has for its object to provide a construction that is even more cost effective and leads to a better contact of the refrigerant with the desiccant.
The solution of the problem is inventively achieved by the features of claim 1.
Thereafter, the removal device located in a collector from the baffle is formed like a rod to about a stopper designed as a stopper, so that also the lying on the side of the inlet and outlet wall section of the collector is available as a boundary of the receiving space available. The plug has a marking aid, which cooperates with the wall of the collector in order to use the plug with the removal device always in the prescribed position in the collector can. The plug sitting in the mouth of the collector is released after the system has been taken out of service, and it is joined with the one attached to it Extraction device pulled out of the collector, wherein the dryer, slipping along the wall of the collector can be removed from the collector. If necessary, a new dryer can be used.
The proposed training has several advantages. First, even less material is required to form the sampling device. Furthermore, the space available for receiving the desiccant has been correspondingly increased by the reduction of the removal device. In addition, the dependence of the design of the sampling device has been removed from the diameter of the collector. Thus, the removal device can also be used for collectors of different diameters without changes. In addition, there is a better wetting of the drying agent with the refrigerant, without having been dispensed with the advantageous baffle. The marking aid ensures that the baffle wall surface is arranged perpendicular to the inflow direction.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben.

  • Fig. 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht derselben;
  • Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch den Verschlussstopfen;
  • Fig. 4 zeigt eine andere Einzelheit am Verschlussstopfen;
  • Fig. 5 zeigt einen Schnitt im Bereich der Ein - und Ausströmöffnungen;
The invention will be described below in an embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of the removal device;
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the same;
  • Fig. 3 shows a section through the sealing plug;
  • Fig. 4 shows another detail on the stopper;

Die Entnahmevorrichtung 1 für das Trocknungsmittel des Kältemittels einer Klimaanlage für Kraftfahrzeuge ist in einem mit dem einen Sammelrohr 2 des Kondensators 3 der Klimaanlage verbundenen Sammler 4 angeordnet. Die Entnahmevorrichtung 1 ist mit einem Ende 5 an einem Verschlussdeckel 6 des Sammlers 4 befestigt. Der Sammler 4 ist über eine Ein - und eine Ausströmöffnung 8, 9 in seiner Wandung 12 mit einem der Sammelrohre 2 des Kondensators verbunden. Der Kondensator und dessen anderes Sammelrohr wurden nicht gezeichnet. Es befindet sich am nicht gezeigten Ende des Kondensators. Beide Sammelrohre sind bekanntlich parallel zueinander angeordnet. Im Sammler 4 befindet sich ein Aufnahmeraum für das Trocknungsmittel. Die Entnahmevorrichtung ist im Bereich der Einströmöffnung 8 mit einer Prallwand 20 ausgestaltet. Die Entnahmevorrichtung ist von der Prallwand 20 bis etwa zu einem als Stopfen 60 ausgebildeten Verschlussdeckel 6 als Stab 50 gestaltet, so dass auch der auf der Seite der Ein - und Ausströmöffnungen liegende Wandungsabschnitt des Sammlers 4 als Begrenzung des Aufnahmeraums zur Verfügung steht. Deshalb kann der Trockner so ausgebildet werden, dass er den Raum rings um den Stab 50 herum ausfüllt. Der Stab 50 besitzt eine im Querschnitt kreuzförmige Gestalt, um dessen Stabilität zu verbessern. Bei Entnahmevorrichtungen größerer Länge ist das vorteilhaft. Der Stopfen 60 weist eine Markierung 61 auf, die mit der Wand des Sammlers 4 zusammenwirkt, um den Stopfen 60 mit der Entnahmevorrichtung stets in der Sollposition in den Sammler 4 einsetzen zu können. (Fig. 3 und 4) Die Markierung 61 besteht aus einer örtlichen Vertiefung im Umfang des Stopfens, die mit einer örtlichen nach innen gerichteten Umformung in der Wand des Sammlers 4 korrespondiert. Deshalb lässt sich der Stopfen 60 nur dann einsetzen, wenn die Vertiefung und die Umformung übereinstimmen. Es wird somit sichergestellt, dass sich die Prallwand 20 nach dem Einsetzen in ihrer vorgeschriebenen Position befindet und ihre Aufgabe erfüllen kann, die darin besteht, den in einem durchströmbaren Behältnis befindlichen Trockner (nicht gezeichnet) vor dem unmittelbar einströmenden Kältemittel zu schützen. Dadurch wird der Abrieb des Trocknermaterials reduziert. Die Fig. 4 zeigt außerdem die mit der Positionierung im Zusammenhang stehende Verbindung zwischen dem Stopfen 60 und dem oberen Ende der Entnahmevorrichtung 1. Diese besteht in einer in Längsrichtung offenen Bohrung 63 im Stopfen 60, in der sich ein kreuzförmig ausgebildetes Kopfstück 62 der Entnahmevorrichtung 1 befindet. Die Bohrung 63 und das Kopfstück 62 befinden sich auf einer gemeinsamen vertikalen Linie mit der Markierung 61. Wie die Fig. 3 und 4 außerdem zeigen, wurde eine Abdeckkappe 90 aus Kunststoff vorgesehen, um den Stopfen 60 zu schützen. Die Abdeckkappe 90 wurde im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel oben in den Stopfen 60 eingeschraubt. Der Stopfen 60 wird mittels eines Federringes 91 in der Dichtposition gesichert, der sich in einer Nut 92 in der Wand des Sammlers befindet. Die Abdichtung des Sammlers 4 wird über Dichtringe 93 am Stopfen 60 sichergestellt. Die Öffnung des Sammlers 4 wurde etwas aufgeweitet, um das Einsetzen des Stopfens 60 zu erleichtern und um die Dichtwirkung zu erreichen.
Die Fig. 5 zeigt die Verbindung zwischen dem Sammler 4 und dem einen Sammelrohr mittels zweier Öffnungen. Die obere ist die Einströmöffnung 8 und die untere die Ausströmöffnung 9. Am unteren Ende der Entnahmevorrichtung 1 befindet sich ein Filterkorb 70, der mit einer Dichtung 80 ausgerüstet ist, die dafür Sorge trägt, dass das Kältemittel nicht ohne gefiltert zu werden weiterströmt. In den Sammelrohren 2 befinden sich in Abständen angeordnete Trennwände 100, die eine in Gruppen von nicht gezeigten Flachrohren zwischen den Sammelrohren hin und her gehende Strömung des Kältemittels bewirken, währenddessen das Kältemittel durch Wärmeentzug mittels Kühlluft kondensiert und auch unterkühlt wird. Das Bezugszeichen 101 deutet die Öffnungen im Sammelrohr 2 an, in denen sich die einen Enden der Flachrohre befinden. Die anderen Enden der Flachrohre befinden sich entsprechenden Öffnungen im anderen Sammelrohr.The removal device 1 for the desiccant of the refrigerant of an air conditioner for motor vehicles is arranged in a collector 4 connected to the one header 2 of the condenser 3 of the air conditioner. The removal device 1 is fastened with one end 5 to a closure lid 6 of the collector 4 . The collector 4 is connected via an inlet and an outflow opening 8, 9 in its wall 12 with one of the manifolds 2 of the capacitor. The condenser and its other manifold were not drawn. It is located at the end of the capacitor, not shown. Both manifolds are known to be arranged parallel to each other. In the collector 4 is a receiving space for the desiccant. The removal device is designed in the region of the inflow opening 8 with a baffle 20. The removal device is from the baffle 20 to about as a stopper 60th formed closure cap 6 as a rod 50, so that also the lying on the side of the inlet and outlet openings wall portion of the collector 4 is available as a boundary of the receiving space available. Therefore, the dryer may be formed to fill the space around the rod 50. The rod 50 has a cross-sectional shape in order to improve its stability. This is advantageous for removal devices of greater length. The plug 60 has a marking 61 which cooperates with the wall of the collector 4 in order to be able to use the plug 60 with the removal device always in the desired position in the collector 4. ( Fig. 3 and 4 The marking 61 consists of a local depression in the circumference of the plug, which corresponds to a local inward deformation in the wall of the collector 4. Therefore, the plug 60 can be used only when the recess and the forming match. It is thus ensured that the baffle 20 is in its prescribed position after insertion and can fulfill its task, which is to protect the dryer located in a flow-through container (not shown) from the directly inflowing refrigerant. This reduces the abrasion of the dryer material. The Fig. 4 also shows the positioning-related connection between the plug 60 and the upper end of the sampling device 1. This consists in a longitudinally open bore 63 in the plug 60, in which there is a cross-shaped head 62 of the sampling device 1. The bore 63 and the head 62 are on a common vertical line with the mark 61. Like the Fig. 3 and 4 In addition, a plastic cover cap 90 has been provided to protect the plug 60. The cap 90 has been screwed in the top of the plug 60 in the embodiment shown. The plug 60 is secured by means of a spring ring 91 in the sealing position, which is located in a groove 92 in the wall of the collector. The sealing of the collector 4 is ensured by means of sealing rings 93 on the plug 60. The opening of the collector 4 has been slightly widened to facilitate the insertion of the plug 60 and to achieve the sealing effect.
The Fig. 5 shows the connection between the collector 4 and the one manifold by means of two openings. The upper is the inflow opening 8 and the lower the outflow opening 9. At the lower end of the removal device 1 is located a filter basket 70, which is equipped with a seal 80, which ensures that the refrigerant does not continue to flow without being filtered. In the headers 2 are spaced partitions 100, which cause in groups of flat tubes, not shown between the headers back and forth flow of the refrigerant, while the refrigerant is condensed by heat extraction by means of cooling air and also undercooled. The reference numeral 101 indicates the openings in the manifold 2, in which the one ends of the flat tubes are located. The other ends of the flat tubes are corresponding openings in the other manifold.
