Abstract:
A piston-in-sleeve accumulator includes a cleaning element positioned on the piston and configured to remove and prevent debris from lodging between the piston and a cylindrical nonpermeable sleeve within which the piston slides. A seal on the piston is positioned to engage an opposing surface in the event of a leak, and thereby prevent the possibility of a complete drainage of pressurized fluid from occurring through the accumulator's fluid port. A position contactor switch is further provided to signal position of the piston within the accumulator.
Abstract:
A piston-type accumulator comprises: a) an accumulator housing provided in the form of a cylinder tube (1) made of magnetizable material, which defines an axial direction of the housing; b) a piston (3), which can be axially displaced over a stroke path inside the cylinder tube (1) and which forms a moving separating element that, inside the accumulator housing, separates two working spaces (7 and 9) from one another; c) a magnet arrangement (29, 31, 35), which is placed on the piston (3) and which generates a field on the wall of the cylinder tube (1), and; d) a magnetic field sensor device, which is located on the exterior of the cylinder tube (1) and which has at least one Hall sensor (51). Said Hall sensor is mounted on the exterior of the cylinder tube (1) and responds to the field generated by the magnet arrangement (29, 31, 35) on the piston (3) in order to determine the position of the piston (3) along the stroke path.
Abstract:
In a hydraulic cylinder having a shock absorbing function, and capable of stopping as desired by an accumulator disposed within a cylinder rod, the accumulator comprises an accumulator piston that divides the cylinder rod interior into first and second cylinder rod chambers, gas hermetically charged into the second cylinder rod chamber, and an accumulation port that is communicated with the first cylinder rod chamber and flows the operating oil from outside into the first cylinder rod chamber.
Abstract:
A hydraulic fluid reservoir (10, 10′, 10″, 10′″) comprises a body 12, 12′, 12″ 12′″) defining a variable volume chamber having one end portion movable with the level of fluid in the chamber. A biasing member (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″) acting on a traction rod (16, 16′, 16″, 16′″) extending from the movable end portion restrains movement thereof under fluid pressure. The fluid pressure in the variable volume chamber advantageously counterbalances the force of reaction in the biasing member (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″).
Abstract:
A pressure fluid accumulator with a housing having its interior subdivided by a media-separating element into two chambers, the first chamber being filled with a gas and the second chamber being filled with a liquid, and wherein in a hydraulic port a bottom valve is provided which permits filling the second chamber with liquid and prevents complete evacuation of the second chamber, and the valve's closure member is operable by the media-separating element. In order to prevent, especially at low temperatures and high viscosity of the pressure fluid, damage of the media-separating element caused by a high differential pressure, a device is provided between the media-separating element and the bottom valve.
Abstract:
Accumulator device for a hydraulic installation which includes an interior membrane, the membrane forming a fluid-accumulation cavity. It is characterised in that the membrane includes a fold which forms two sections, a first section from the wall of the cylindrical body to the fold and a second section from the fold to the moving support element, with the fold zone moving as the moving support element moves. It allows sufficient volumes of water accumulation to space apart the starting and stopping of the electrically-driven pump, but with small diameters of the membrane's moving support element.
Abstract:
A receiving portion (11) having a pressure receiving-surface (11F) is provided in the through hole (10) of a container body (1), wherein the pressure-receiving surface has a tapered pressure-receiving surface (11A) and an outer receiving-pressure-regulating R(rounded) surface (11B) continuous to the forward end of the tapered pressure-receiving surface (11A). A supply/discharge tube (13) being inserted into the through hole is provided with a flange portion (14) having a pressurizing surface (14F) which is provided with a tapered pressurizing surface (14A) coming into face-contact with the tapered pressure-receiving surface.
Abstract:
A vehicle brake system having a gas pressure accumulator, which comprises a housing, the interior of which is divided by metal bellows and a disk fastened to the metal bellows in gas-tight manner, into a gas-filled gas chamber and a fluid chamber, wherein via a feed line a fluid may be supplied under pressure to and removed from the fluid chamber, and provided between the fluid chamber and the feed line is a valve arrangement which closes when the pressure in the feed line drops below a minimum value and opens when the pressure exceeds the minimum value, wherein the metal bellows during supply and removal of the fluid executes a stroke motion by means of which the valve arrangement is actuated.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a hydraulic fluid accumulator comprising a housing having an interior subdivided into three chambers, with the first chamber being filled with a gas and separated from the second chamber by a first media separation element, the second chamber being filled with a fluid and separated by a second media separation element from the third chamber that is also filled with a fluid and connected to a hydraulic port. To safeguard an effective separation of media within the hydraulic fluid accumulator and, thus, a significant increase in its functional safety, the present invention arranges for the second media separation element to be embodied by a metal piston delimiting a chamber that can be vented in the housing.
