Abstract:
A drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly replaces an original equipment (OE) signal accumulator piston in a vehicle transmission hydraulic circuit. The OE signal accumulator piston is positioned in a bore in a valve body that has an open end and a fluid port. The drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly includes a cylindrical sleeve having open first and second ends, one of the first and second ends defining a reduced diameter region, and a piston positioned in the sleeve. A spring is positioned in part in the piston and in part extending beyond and end of the piston. The sleeve is positioned in the valve body bore, with the piston, and the spring. A method for replacing an original equipment (OE) signal accumulator piston in a transmission hydraulic circuit is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an accumulator (20) comprising a housing (21), an inner portion (23) within the housing, and a zone (27) defined between the housing and the inner portion for fluid communication with a driving fluid of a fluid-powered system whereby the inner portion is exposed to the driving fluid received within the zone. The inner portion comprises a resiliently deformable solid mass (31), wherein at least a portion of the mass is deformable in response to fluid pressure in the zone exceeding a prescribed level thereby to provide pressure relief. The deformable portion resiliently rebounds in response to fluid pressure in the zone returning to or falling below the prescribed level.
Abstract:
A hydraulic hammer is disclosed that includes at least one accumulator that is connectable to a hydraulic circuit disposed in the housing of the hammer. The accumulator includes an annular base coupled to a cover with a diaphragm sandwiched therebetween. The annular base includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the annular base defines a first central opening. The proximal end of the base in the housing define an annular inlet that encircles the first central opening and that is in communication with the first central opening. The cover also includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the cover is coupled to the distal end of the base with the outer periphery of the diaphragm sandwiched therebetween.

The present invention provides a hydraulic pressure accumulator having a pressure vessel and a piston chamber that is located within the interior space of the pressure vessel. In one particular embodiment, the invention relates to filament wound composite overwrapped hydraulic pressure accumulators with serviceable pistons.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a subframe for the vehicle chassis of motor vehicles, which subframe has at least one cavity usable as a pressure accumulator and has a cross member (1) which is connected, at the two end faces (27, 28) thereof, to a node element (3, 4). Bearing elements (10 to 12) and/or further frame elements are attached to the node elements (3, 4). The cross member (1) is formed as a continuous rib-reinforced component or extruded part (15) and forms for the pressure accumulator a pressure-resistant cavity which is closed off by the node elements (3, 4) at the end faces.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel which is provided preferably for use in bladder accumulators (27), having a multi-part vessel body (1) composed of a tubular central part (3) which, at at least one of its two ends, has a termination region (5, 7), is characterized in that a cover part (9) which at least partially forms the respective termination region (5, 7) engages at the edge over the central part (3), at least in the region of the respectively assignable end (13, 15) thereof, so as to form a fixed connection.
Abstract:
A dual piston accumulator, in particular for a hydrostatic hybrid drive system for vehicles, replaces a high pressure hydro accumulator and a low pressure hydro accumulator. Inside a single accumulator housing (2) extending in the axial direction in a single piece over a high pressure part (4) and a low pressure part (6), an accumulator piston (8, 10) defines a high pressure-sided fluid chamber (16) and a low pressure-sided fluid chamber (18). Both chambers border an intermediate piece (12) separating the high pressure side (4) from the low pressure side (6). A common piston rod (14) extends through the intermediate piece for both accumulator pistons (8, 10). The wall width of the housing (2) corresponding to the high pressure part (4) is greater than the opposite reduced wall width corresponding to the low pressure part (6).
Abstract:
An elastic separating wall to be arranged between a gas chamber with a high pressure and a liquid chamber, particularly for a pressure accumulator, comprises an elastic separating wall member composed of a plurality of layers, the layers including at least two outer layers, and at least one inner layer composed of a material having a high gas permeability, means for connecting the elastic separating wall member to a wall of a container in a connecting region, and a passage arranged in the region and communicating with the inner layer with an atmosphere.
Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to compact and replaceable accumulator to be utilized in a chassis-level cooling device. The accumulator is a low pressurized device having a housing, a bladder, and a compressible fluid. The housing has an inner surface defining a volume and an opening. The bladder is disposed within a volume portion and attached to the opening. The bladder includes a plurality of elongated wall sections foldably coupled to each other and defining a bladder volume therebetween. The bladder inflates by unfolding the plurality of elongated wall sections to increase the bladder volume in response to an increase in a pressure of a working fluid inside the bladder volume. The compressible fluid is contained in a remaining volume portion between the inner surface of the housing and the bladder. The compressible fluid is compressed to an offset pressure in response to inflation of the plurality of elongated wall sections.
Abstract:
A method of charging a hydro-pneumatic energy storage system is described. The system has a first hydro-pneumatic accumulator with a first hollow vessel. Disposed within the first hollow vessel is a first compressible volume containing a first amount of gas. The system has a second hydro-pneumatic accumulator with a second hollow vessel. Disposed within the second hollow vessel is a second compressible volume containing a second amount of gas. The gas contained in the first volume is pre-pressurized to a first hydrostatic pre-charge pressure and the gas contained in the second volume is pre-pressurized to a second hydrostatic pre-charge pressure. The second pre-charge pressure is higher than the first pre-charge pressure. In addition, the gas in the first volume is pressurized by discharging a non-compressible hydraulic fluid into the first vessel while keeping a quantity of non-compressible hydraulic fluid contained in the second vessel constant to keep the pressure of the gas contained in the second volume at the second pre-charge pressure.
