Abstract:
A pressure store includes a housing (2) having a first sub-chamber (8) arranged between the housing (2) and a flexible separating diaphragm (40), a second sub-chamber (54) arranged between the separating diaphragm (40) and a supporting body (48), and a third sub-chamber (28) encompassed by the supporting body (48). The first sub-chamber (8) can be filled with a first fluid. The second sub-chamber (54) and the third sub-chamber (28) are connected to one another in fluid-conducting fashion and can be filled with a second fluid. The first and the second sub-chambers (8, 54) vary in respective sizes as a result of movements of the separating diaphragm (40) as a function of the respective filling state. The first fluid is a storage medium and the second fluid is working medium. The second sub-chamber (54) is increased in size during the extraction of storage medium from the pressure store and is reduced in size during the filling of the pressure store with storage medium.
Abstract:
A guiding device for metal bellows (19) includes a terminal element (35) on a bellows end (31). The terminal element is movable along the wall of a housing (1) during expansion and compression of the bellows (19). A guide (47) is interposed between the terminal element and the housing (1). The guide has an annular element (47) surrounding a peripheral zone of the terminal element (35). The annular element, on its outer periphery, forms first annular sections radially spaced apart from the wall of the housing (1) and separated from each other by second annular sections radially projecting over the first annular sections.
Abstract:
A guiding device for metal bellows (19) which comprises a terminal element (35) on at least one bellows end (31), said terminal element being movable along the wall of a housing (1) during expansion and compression of the bellows (19), a guiding means (47) being interposed between the terminal element and the housing (1). The guiding device is characterized in that the guiding means comprises at least one annular element (47) which surrounds a peripheral zone of the terminal element (35), said annular element, on its outer periphery, forming first annular sections which are radially spaced apart from the wall of the housing (1) and which are separated from each other by second annular sections that radially project over the first annular sections.
Abstract:
The invention is an accumulator which stores energy by deforming from its original shape in response to the flow of a pressurized fluid. The stored energy is returned when the fluid flow is reversed and the accumulator returns to its original shape. At least one part of the novelty of the accumulator is that it captures elastic strain energy of a stretched bladder, as opposed to relying on gases and metals for energy storage as is usually seen in conventional accumulators.
Abstract:
A guiding device for a metal bellows (3), which on at least one bellows end (37) comprises an end body (39) movable along the wall of a housing (10) during the expansion and contraction of the bellows (3), a guiding element being provided between said end body and the housing (10), is characterized in that the guiding element is formed by a plurality of separate guiding bodies (49) that are disposed in intervals from each other on the circumference of the end body (39).
Abstract:
A hydraulic circuit for a hydraulic cylinder capable of executing and adjusting a shock absorbing function at the time of stopping the operation of a cylinder piston rod and releasing the function, comprises a damping control valve (v1) having a first switching position (v11) which blocks the connection of the accumulation port (22) with outside and performs supply and discharge or discharge and supply of the operating oil with respect to the first cylinder chamber (3) and the second cylinder chamber (4), a second switching position (v12) connecting at least the accumulation port (22) and the second cylinder chamber (4), and a third switching position (v13) connecting at least the accumulation port (22) and the first cylinder chamber (3).
Abstract:
An end seal seals between an end portion and an operating member moving toward the end portion. The end seal has a seal member mounted on the end portion. A seal lip pressed by sealing fluid pressure to come in contact with the operating member when the operating member comes in contact with the end portion and stops is provided on the seal member.
Abstract:
A diagnosing apparatus for diagnosing an accumulator operable to store under pressure a pressurized fluid delivered from a high-pressure source and to supply the pressurized fluid to a fluid-operated actuator for operating the fluid-operated actuator, the apparatus including a pressure detecting device for detecting a pressure of the pressurized fluid in the accumulator while the accumulator is placed in a fluid-tightly sealed state in which the accumulator is isolated from both the high-pressure source and the fluid-operated actuator, and a diagnosing device operable to diagnose the accumulator on the basis of the pressure of the pressurized fluid detected by the pressure detecting device in the fluid-tightly sealed state of the accumulator.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an accumulator comprising a cylindrical shell including a cylindrical portion, a partitioning member for partitioning the interior of the shell into a hydraulic chamber and a gas chamber, and a port including a hydraulic fluid flow path for communicating the exterior of the shell and the hydraulic chamber. The variation of the pressure of a hydraulic fluid flowing into the hydraulic chamber is accommodated by expansion and compression of a gas in the gas chamber according to expansion and contraction of the partitioning member. The port is approximately airtightly inserted into the cylindrical portion of the shell, and is welded to an outer circumference of the cylindrical portion by means of welding.
