Title:
HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002040871
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic accumulator, especially a piston accumulator, comprising an accumulator housing (10) and at least one gas chamber (12) and a fluid chamber (14), these being separated from each other by a separating element (16). At least one of these chambers (12, 14) can be filled with a pressure medium or at least partially emptied of the same through at least one valve control unit (26) which has a switching valve (28, 30). The respective switching valve (28) is accommodated in a corresponding valve location (29), and can be moved in the direction of movement of the separating element (16) from an opening position into closing position and vice-versa. The aim of the invention is to avoid an expensive line network between the hydraulic accumulator and the valve control unit, so that sealing or leakage problems such as are common in a line network, never occur, To this end, the valve control unit (26) is accommodated in a valve block (24) which is independent from the housing (10), said valve block (24) has an additional valve location (31) for an additional switching valve (30) for performing another switching task, and the valve locations (29, 31) are configured essentially identically and are situated eccentrically in relation to the longitudinal axis (33) of the hydraulic accumulator for modular use of the switching valves (28, 30), which are configured as identical parts.
