Abstract:
A hydraulic accumulator A to be removably attached to a support member includes a liquid chamber R2b having a predetermined volume even when no pressurized operating liquid is accumulated, and communicating with a liquid inflow port Pi and a liquid outflow port Po, which are disposed below the liquid chamber R2b. A liquid-chamber-R2b-side end of an outflow passageway So connecting the liquid chamber R2b and the liquid outflow port Po opens to an upper portion of the liquid chamber R2b. Further, an inflow passageway Si connecting the liquid chamber R2b and the liquid inflow port Pi is coaxially disposed within the outflow passageway So, and a liquid-chamber-R2b-side end of the inflow passageway Si opens to the upper portion of the liquid chamber R2b.
Abstract:
A hydropneumatic pressure accumulator has an outer tube forming the accumulator housing. A flexible separating element is formed by a section of a hose, extends in the longitudinal direction inside of the outer tube and is anchored on the tube to form a seal. On the outside and inside of the hose, receiving spaces separated from one another are formed within the tube. A support body is surrounded by the hose and has fluid passages. At least in sections, the support body cross sectional shape is not round. The hose is closed on its one end and is anchored only on its other open end together with an adjacent end of the support body along the outer tube. The size of the outside surface of the hose is only slightly smaller than the size of the inside surface of the outer tube facing it. The size of the outside surface of the support body is slightly smaller than that of the inside surface of the hose facing it.
Abstract:
An accumulator assembly for managing pressurized fluid includes a housing and a partition provided in the housing moveable in response to fluid pressure imparted on the partition. A deflection member is disposed in the housing and is displaceable between a first position and a second position. The deflection member includes at least one deflection element including a first end and a second end and a flexing portion therebetween. The deflection member provides a resistive force between the first and the second positions of the deflection member in response to movement of the partition. The resistive force is substantially constant between the first and said second positions of the deflection member.
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 tank comprises a structural envelope made in a form of hemisphere with a tube connection having a ring groove in its surface. A tightening ring of the structural envelope. An elastic diaphragm made in a form of hemisphere integrated with a cylinder provided with an end projection that fits into the ring groove. A bottom is made in a form of a sphere part. A thin-walled ring with a shoulder is introduced that is mounted between the tightening ring and elastic diaphragm in the place of its end projection location. The tube flange is provided with an end projection. The tightening ring is equipped with a lateral flange providing a possibility for the thin-walled ring shoulder tightening by it to the ring projection of the tube flange. The external surface of the tightening ring and internal surface of the tube flange are made tapered in the direction from the ring groove to the hemisphere of the structural envelope above the ring groove. The bottom is made to be hollow and its' internal surface is provided with holes. A splitter is introduced that is mounted in the bottom space.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronically controllable vehicle braking system for a motor vehicle with a cylinder/piston arrangement providing a brake fluid, which, by actuating a brake pedal, is caused to provide brake fluid acting on the brake of the motor vehicle, with the cylinder/piston arrangement being connectable with a pump arrangement and a pressure accumulator. The pressure accumulator has a housing which comprises a fluid connection for a fluid flowing into and out of the housing as well as a spring arrangement against whose force brake fluid flowing through the fluid connection is acting, with at least one part of the spring arrangement being formed by at least one part of the housing wall.
Abstract:
A pressure fluid reservoir having at least an approximately vertically disposed cylinder with a displaceably guided divider piston therein. The piston divides a pressure fluid reservoir chamber of the cylinder, located below the piston from a gas chamber located above the piston. The divider piston has a hollow chamber, which is covered with respect to the gas chamber by a cap having an opening. The cap has a fluid seal for lubricating piston sealing rings. A riser pipe that begins at an opening in the cap extends as far as a bottom of the hollow chamber that contains fluid. In an expansion of a gas cushion located in the gas chamber in the riser pipe and in the hollow chamber, fluid is pumped through the riser pipe to the fluid seal, to regenerate it the fluid seal. The pressure fluid reservoir is particularly well suited to vehicle brake systems, where long functional reliability of a piston seal is crucial.
Abstract:
An accumulator tank for pressurizing and supplying liquid to a system comprises a pressure vessel having a wall defining a closed pressure chamber. The pressure vessel is provided with an internal flexible air cell which divides the pressure chamber into first and second variable volume compartments containing pressurized air and water, respectively. Perforated conduits are provided in the second compartment in fluid communication with a port, and extend between the wall of the pressure vessel and the flexible air cell. The perforated conduits provide fluid communication between the port and portions of the second compartment when the air cell seals against the wall to otherwise isolate those portions of the second compartment in fluid communication with the perforated conduits.
Abstract:
A hydrostatic bladder-type storage means for storing mechanical energy by a compressible media in a pressure bottle. An interior of the pressure bottle contains an elastically resilient bladder accommodating the medium. The pressurized medium is introduced into the bladder from one side of the bottle, with the bladder being surrounded by hydraulic oil which is adapted to be forced into and removed from a cavity located between the bottle and the bladder. A porous elastic body of foamed synthetic resinous material is provided in the bladder with the medium filling pores of the foam body. The foam body is intimately joined to the wall of the bladder and has a specific thermal capacity which is greater than the thermal capacity of the medium.
Abstract:
An accumulator device comprising a pressure vessel having a replaceable bladder assembly adapted to be inserted into position within the vessel through a bore defining the gas charging port. The device is characterized by the provision of a bladder assembly having a stem molded thereto and adapted to project through the bore at the gas charging end of the vessel. A locking ring having larger diameter than the bore is rendered insertible endwise into the interior of the vessel as a result of the provision of reduced side portions. A retainer plate is provided which is insertible over the stem from the exterior of the vessel, the retaining plate including aligned portions projecting downwardly into the bore and filling the space between the reduced side or clearance portions of the ring and the bore to prevent extrusion of the bladder through the bore.
