Definitions
- the invention relates to a cover element for closing a fluid receiving volume, in particular a fluid receiving container, a motor vehicle, in particular an engine compartment of the motor vehicle according to claim 1.
- Motor vehicles are known to have a plurality of fluid receiving volumes, in particular fluid receiving containers. These often have to be closed by a lid (cover element). Furthermore, it is often desirable to have markers or information on such
- cover elements such as icons that indicate which liquid to be included (for example, oil or
- Brake fluid Such information is usually printed, in particular by means of a printed or printable film or tampon printing.
- a markable material containing an activatable dye whose color in a laser application turns.
- Such markable materials or activatable dyes are known in principle.
- Such an activatable dye (pigment, laser batch) responds to the application of a laser beam by changing its color (for example from black to yellow or vice versa).
- Marking is comparatively robust and resistant to abrasion. It was also recognized that especially in a motor vehicle relatively aggressive conditions may be present, especially due to the use of aggressive materials and materials (for example, oils, alcohols or substances mi
- a core idea of the invention is therefore a material for the
- the cover element has a screw thread, that is to say it is preferably a screw cap (eg container screw connection).
- the cover element may comprise a latching device and / or a slide guide for mounting the cover element and / or closing the fluid receiving volume, in particular
- Liquid container include.
- the cover element is (at least substantially) round (thus has an at least substantially round cross section).
- the cover element may be formed as a particular circular cylinder, wherein the cylinder is preferably formed comparatively flat, so that a longitudinal axis of the cylinder smaller, z. B. at least 50% or at least 75% smaller than a diameter of an end face of the cylinder.
- the cover element may have at least one projection on an outer peripheral surface and / or end face for removing and / or mounting the cover element.
- Projections for example, at a height of at least 1 mm or
- only one projection can be formed, which is for example at least 5 mm high, so that it can be gripped for rotating the cover element.
- the lid member is made entirely of the markable material.
- the cover element can be colored arbitrarily (with regard to the location), which further facilitates the production of markings.
- the activatable dye of the cover element may be at least partially (laser) activated.
- a component of a motor vehicle with a fluid receiving volume preferably oil intake volume, and / or with a fluid receiving container, preferably
- Brake fluid container dissolved, wherein the component comprises a cover element of the type described above.
- a motor vehicle comprising the component just described, inventively proposed.
- the invention proposes the use of a cover element of the type described above for closing a fluid receiving volume, in particular a fluid receiving container, of a motor vehicle, in particular of an engine compartment of the motor vehicle.
- a cover element of the type described above or a component of the type described above for a motor vehicle proposed the use of a cover element of the type described above or a component of the type described above for a motor vehicle. Furthermore, a method for producing a cover element, in which the activatable dye is at least partially activated, proposed, wherein a laser beam is applied to an element for producing the cover element such that a color of the element for producing the cover element turns over in areas.
- the element for producing the cover element is in particular already (substantially) completely formed
- the cover element preferably has an outer diameter of at least 2 cm, preferably at least 3 cm and / or at most 10 cm or at most 6 cm.
- the markable material is preferably a plastic having therein activatable dye (pigment, laser batch).
- the lid element is preferably a container lid, in particular screw lid.
- the lid member may be a brake fluid container lid or oil filler cap.
- the cover element is (substantially) round or (flat) cylindrical and has on a lateral surface 10 a plurality of projections 11 (specifically 12 projections) which extend axially and the gripping of the cover element for rotating (or closing the container) to facilitate.
- markings are provided, namely on the one hand a lettering "DOT 4", and several symbols 12.
- the markings are by
- the lid member according to the figure is made of a plastic with a laser-activatable dye.
- the black marks in an actual embodiment may indicate the color "yellow” and the remaining white components the actual color "black”.
- an original color of the dye (pigment) for example
- a yellow dye can be converted into a black dye by laser irradiation.
- Other colors of origin and colors that appear after the laser irradiation are possible.
