Patent number: 12152732Abstract: A tank device for temperature pressure relief in a fuel cell tank, the tank device comprising at least two tank containers and a supply line which can be connected to the tank containers, each of the at least two tank containers having at least one shutoff valve at one end, the shutoff valve being arranged between the respective tank container and the supply line. At least one safety valve is arranged at another end of the tank container, wherein at least the at least two tank containers and the respective safety valve are at least almost completely enclosed by a housing element and/or are encapsulated from an environment. A positive pressure prevails in the housing element, wherein the housing element contains a temperature-sensitive material, wherein the meltable medium of the safety valve melts when the pressure prevailing in the inner space falls, and thus opens the safety valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hans-Arndt Freudigmann, Bernd Stuke, Olaf Ohlhafer

Patent number: 12104700Abstract: A shut-off valve for a pressurized-gas vessel includes a valve closing body which can perform stroke movements and is preloaded by the spring force of a closing spring against a valve seat. When the valve closing body is in a closed position, a connection of a valve inlet to a valve outlet is shut off. The shut-off valve includes an actuator arrangement for opening the valve closing body. The actuator arrangement interacts with an actuating element which is arranged spaced apart from and coaxial with respect to the valve closing body and which is movable by the actuator arrangement in the direction of the valve closing body. When the actuating element abuts against the valve closing body, an opening impulse can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2021Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Olaf Ohlhafer, Bernd Stuke, Hans-Arndt Freudigmann
