Abstract:
A piston-type pressure accumulator for traction slip controlled brake systems, and a switching arrangement provided therewith. An accumulator piston (2) is hydraulically pressurized through a compression spring (1) and slidingly guided within a housing (4). At least one sealing element (27) is provided at the accumulator piston (2) which separates an accumulator chamber (21) from a spring chamber (24). The compression spring (1) is clamped between a first cap (3) directly contacting and surrounding the accumulator piston (2) and a second cap (5) straddling the housing (4) and the first cap (3), the first cap (3) performing a relative movement within the second cap (5) which is sensed by a control switch (7), charging of the accumulator chamber 21 is controlled by energization of a loading valve (8) and pump (9), in turn controlled by the control switch (7).
Abstract:
A rod is inserted in a first cylinder. A first oil chamber is defined by the inner surface of the first cylinder. The rod can be reciprocated with a first stroke. A second cylinder is coupled to the first cylinder by a connecting member. A metal bellows is housed in the second cylinder. A gas chamber is defined by the inner surface of the bellows. A second oil chamber is defined by the outer surface of the bellows and the inner surface of the second cylinder. The bellows contracts with a second stroke corresponding to the first stroke of the rod. The first and second oil chambers communicate with each other via an oil path formed in the connecting member. A valve seat is arranged on an end wall of the second cylinder. A valve body is fixed to the bellows so as to oppose the valve seat. If the bellows expands farther than the second stroke when a gas is supplied into the gas chamber, the valve body is brought into contact with the valve seat. When the valve body and the valve seat are brought into contact with each other, the oil is entrapped in a gap between the inner surface of the second cylinder and the outer surface of the bellows body.
Abstract:
The pressure accumulator (10) comprises a cylindrical housing (12) having a bore (14) with a piston received slidably therein. The piston (30) has an H-shaped cross section and includes a reduced diameter portion (34) extending longitudinally along the piston (30), and a sealing device (36, 38) disposed at each end of the reduced diameter portion (34). A cylindrical sleeve (44) is received in the reduced diameter portion (34) such that each end of the sleeve (44) abuts a respective sealing device (36, 38). The housing (12) has an exterior circumferential groove (20) with an O-ring (26) therein, and a radial opening (22) extending between the circumferential groove (20) and bore (14). Alternatively, the piston (30) may have a longitudinal opening (61) extending from one side of the piston to grooves (63, 64) at the other end (32), the grooves (63, 64) receiving a ring (72) which is subjected to fluid pressure transmitted through the longitudinal opening (61) and expanded radially outwardly against an angled portion (73) of a force-transmitting member (74) which moves longitudinally against seals (76, 77) disposed in one of the grooves (63, 64).
Abstract:
A hydropneumatic accumulator has a separator piston, movable in the chamber of a housing. A switch member is attached to the separator piston by a support for simultaneous movement. Sensors can be influenced by the switch member position. The switch member is surrounded by a tube member which supports the sensors and is attached to the housing. A filling attachment is provided on the tube member. A filling conduit extends within the tube member and adjacent the support to simplify the configuration of the hydropneumatic accumulator.
Abstract:
A hydraulic device, such as a hydropneumatic piston accumulator, having a freely displaceable piston which divides the cylinder into a liquid chambers and a gas chamber on opposite sides of the piston. In order to reduce the friction of the piston seals and the heat produced thereby and at the same time guarantee an effective sealing the piston during its initial or terminal movement close to its end position cooperates with a second sealing member at the end wall of the liquid chamber through a first sealing member, and between these sealing members a friction seal is arranged for preventing back flow of liquid from the liquid chamber to the inlet at the end wall but in flow of liquid in the opposite direction in additional the first sealing member is axially displaceable in relation to the piston to a limited extent.
Abstract:
A packing arrangement for a floating piston dividing a cylinder into first and second chambers comprising a circumferential groove formed in the sliding surface of the floating piston; a circumferential elevation dividing the bottom of the groove into first and second spaces situated on either side of the elevation; backing material placed in the groove; a sealing ring radially situated upon the backing material; first and second extensions on the backing material projecting into the first and second spaces, respectively; each extension having first and second lips forming an annular space between the bottom of the groove and the internal surface of the backing material; the first lip of each extension abutting a lateral wall of the groove and the second lip of each extension abutting a lateral surface of the elevation; a first pressure channel connecting the first chamber with the annular space formed by the first extension; and a second pressure channel connecting the second chamber with the annular space formed by the second extension.
Abstract:
A mechanical accumulator for holding and supplying a volume of hydraulic fluid under pressure comprising a variable volume fluid pressure chamber including a piston and a cylinder member, a plurality of coil springs acting on one of said members for biasing the same towards the other of said members to minimize the volume of said chamber and pressurize the fluid therein, a fluid conduit for directing pressurized fluid into and out of said chamber and switch means externally of said chamber and actuated by one of said members in response to the volume changes of said chamber for controlling the operation of a fluid device using fluid from the chamber.
