Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent a damage of bladder by a method wherein a projecting seat coupled to a poppet valve is sucked and held by a magnetic force at the bottom part of the bladder. CONSTITUTION:When a magnetic sucking means 27 introduces liquid into a main body 9 of a container to shrink a bladder 10, a projecting seat 17 approaches to a holding lever 19, resulting in that magnets (m), (m) or magnet (m) and magnetic material (m') are attracted to each other to cause the projecting seat 17 to be held by a holding lever 19. When a magnetic force is set at a value higher than a tension force applied to a poppet valve 13 by liquid discharged at a flow rate of about 3l/sec from the supplying and discharging port 12, the bladder 10 holds its reduced condition during its discharging operation and then a smooth liquid discharging operation is performed. However, if the volume of liquid in the main body 9 of the container is reduced due to liquid discharging, the bladder 10 is extended under a gas pressure filled. The extending force is higher than a sucking force of a magnetic sucking means 27, so that the poppet valve 13 descends down to the supplying and discharging port 12, is contacted with the valve seat 14 to close the supplying and discharging port 12, then the bottom part of the bladder 10 is closely contacted with the inner bottom surface of the main body 9 of the container.
Abstract:
A hydraulic accumulator, preferably a membrane accumulator, in particular for damping pulsations in fluid circuits, includes an accumulator housing (12) with at least one inlet (14) and an outlet (16) for the fluid for damping. A separating element (18), preferably in the form of a membrane, separates a gas reservoir (20) from a fluid chamber (22) within the accumulator housing (12). A hydraulic accumulator with high working capacity of high reliability which little space requirement despite high accumulation capacity for the working gas in the gas reservoir (20) can be achieved. A support device (24) within the accumulator housing (12), extends within the gas reservoir (20) and forms a possible support for the separating element (18). The gas reservoir (20) of the accumulator housing (12) is sufficiently large in dimension that the total necessary gas volume is retained within the accumulator housing (12) itself. The membrane is formed from an elastic material, in particular a rubber material of polytetrafluoroethylene or compounds thereof, as a gas barrier layer.
Abstract:
A hydroaccumulator, especially a membrane accumulator, has an accumulator housing with two housing parts and a separating element in the housing. The separating element can be a separating membrane dividing the accumulator housing into a gas chamber and a fluid chamber. The gas chamber is connected to carry gas to and from gas refiller through a connection. The gas refiller is formed from an additional housing part connected to the accumulator housing to form a unit. The connection is at least one connecting opening in the accumulator housing connecting the interior of the additional housing part to the gas chamber. Additional gas accumulator volume is provided without otherwise conventional pipework to save money and installation space and avoid conventional leaks which occur in the area of the pipework.
Abstract:
A diaphragm comprising a resin layer for gas shielding, a rubber layer adapted to be adjacent to a gas chamber of an accumulator, and a rubber layer adapted to be adjacent to an oil chamber of an accumulator, the rubber layers formed on opposite sides of the resin layer. The rubber layer adapted to be adjacent to the gas chamber is formed of a mixture of butyl rubber and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer. Also provided is an accumulator including the above diaphragm.
Abstract:
A flexible partition member for a hydraulic accumulator, which divides an interior of a shell of the accumulator into two sections that provide a gas chamber and a liquid chamber, respectively. The flexible partition member includes an integrally layered composite portion which includes at least one gas-barrier layer and at least one elastic layer, each gas-barrier layer containing a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol, and each elastic layer containing as a major component thereof a polyamide resin selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 6-10 and nylon 6-12. The integrally layered composite portion includes two adjacent layers which include a gas-barrier layer and an elastic layer.
