  • Patent number: 11592132
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid coupling (1) with tolerance compensation for the flexible connection of two media-conducting elements. The invention was based on the object of improving a fluid coupling (1) of the described type in such a manner that the use of complicated latching systems for transport can be omitted. This object is achieved in that the fluid coupling (1) has at least one transport securing device (8, 12), by means of which a separation of the components (2, 3) of the fluid coupling (1) from one another prior to installation can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20230003323
    Abstract: A plug-in coupling for fluid lines, having a coupling sleeve (1) made of plastic, which has blocking openings (3), wherein the coupling sleeve (1) has, in the region of the blocking openings (3), at least one reinforcement (9) made of a metal material. The reinforcement (9) may have apertures (10) which correspond to the blocking openings (3) and through which a spring blocking element (5) can engage with pawls (7). As a result, it is possible to ensure that, even in the event of high contact pressures between the spring blocking element (5) and the coupling sleeve (1), separation of the blocking openings (3) can be ruled out.

  • Patent number: 11215303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastics pipeline comprising at least one pipeline end (1) and at least one support ring (2). It was the underlying object of the invention to improve a plastics pipeline of the type described at the outset in such a way that the support sleeve or the support ring (2) remains firmly connected to the pipeline even in the event of the plastics pipeline being stored in the presence of high air humidity and temperature. This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that the blow molded pipe section (1) runs through the support ring (2) and, as viewed radially, is pressed from the inside outward against the support ring (2), wherein the pipe section (1) engages around the support ring (2), such that the support ring (2), with its outer surface, and the pipe section (1), with its outer surface, are substantially in alignment.

  • Patent number: 10954976
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the swirl of a fluid (2, 7) flowing in a pipeline (1, 6), comprising a pipeline (1, 6) in which a fluid (2, 7) flows. The invention was based on the object of creating a device with which the adaptation of the swirl of a fluid (2, 7) flowing in a pipeline (1, 6) to the desired flow conditions in the pipeline (1, 6) is possible. Said object is achieved in that the device has at least one predetermined series of flow straighteners (5, 8) and swirl generators (4, 9, 10).

  • Publication number: 20200208767
    Abstract: Coupling element (1) with tolerance compensation for flexibly connecting two elements for guiding media, having two components (2, 3), which can be connected captively to each other in a fluid-guiding manner, wherein a translational, rotational or cardanically tilting movement of the first component (2) against the second component (3) is possible. The invention therefore addressed the problem of improving a tolerance-compensating coupling element (1) of the kind described at the outset in such a way that materials with high strength but low elasticity demands can be used. This problem is solved by the fact that the captive connection (7, 8) has a slotted snap ring (8) that engages through an opening (6) of the first component (2) and behind a bead (7) of the second component (3), thereby preventing the two components (2, 3) from being completely pulled apart.

  • Publication number: 20200182144
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the swirl of a fluid (2) flowing in a pipeline (1). The invention was based on the object of creating a device with which the adaptation of the swirl (2B) of a fluid (2) flowing in a pipeline (1), even in the case of constantly changing initial swirl (2B), to the desired flow conditions in the pipeline (1) is possible. Said object is achieved in that a swirl measuring device (4) and a swirl control device (6) are provided at predetermined positions of the pipeline (1), and the device has an evaluation and encoder unit (5), wherein, in the presence of differences between the measured actual swirl (2B) and the desired swirl, a corrective value can be determined by means of the evaluation and encoder unit (5), and the swirl control device (6) corresponds with the evaluation and encoder unit (5) and, by means of the swirl control device (6), the present swirl (2B) can be adapted to the predetermined desired swirl in accordance with the determined corrective value.

  • Patent number: 9010485
    Abstract: A fluid line includes a resonator having an inner part and a blow-molded outer part defining an inner surface. The inner and outer parts are fixedly connected. The inner part is an injection-molded part having first and second radial collars spaced axially apart from each other. The inner part defines a radial circumference with a plurality of orifices formed therein. The inner and outer parts are axially one within the other so that there is no throughflow of secondary air between the first and second radial collars and the inner surface of the outer part. The inner and outer parts have a common end whereat they are airtightly connected to each other. The inner part, the radial collars and the inner surface of the outer part conjointly define two resonant chambers operatively connected to fluid in the fluid line via the orifices.
