Patent number: 11002298Abstract: A damping device, particularly for damping or avoiding pressure surges such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, includes a damping housing that surrounds a damping chamber (19), has at least one fluid inlet (11), has at least one fluid outlet (13) and has a fluid receiving chamber (19) extending between the fluid inlet (11) and the fluid outlet (13). During operation of the device, a fluid flow crosses the damping chamber (19) in a through-flow direction (15), coming from the fluid inlet (11) in the direction of the fluid outlet (13). At least parts of the fluid receiving chamber (19) extend in at least one extension direction transversely with respect to the through-flow direction (15). The fluid receiving chamber (19) immediately adjoins the fluid inlet (11) and the fluid outlet (13) and is delimited by at least one yielding wall part (4).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Peter Kloft, Herbert Baltes, Robert Marinus Behr, Frank Thielecke, Arne Waitschat

Patent number: 10465832Abstract: A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure impacts, like pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits has a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber with a fluid inlet (13) and a fluid outlet (15). A damping tube (21; 51) is located in the flow path between the damping inlet and outlet and has a branch opening (29; 73, 75, 77, 79, 81) passing through the tube wall and leading to a Helmholtz volume (27; 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) inside of the damping housing (1) forming a Helmholtz resonator in a region positioned inside of the length of the damping tube. A fluid filter (35) is arranged inside of the damping housing (1) in the flow path between the fluid inlet (13) and fluid outlet (15).Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Herbert Baltes, Peter Kloft, Alexander Wohlers, Robert Marinus Behr, Simon MacLennan

Patent number: 10400800Abstract: A damping device for damping or avoiding pressure surges, such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits has a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber and having a fluid inlet (35) and a fluid outlet (41). A fluid receiving chamber extends between the fluid inlet (35) and the fluid outlet (41). During operation of the device, a fluid flow crosses the damping chamber in a throughflow direction (11), from the fluid inlet (35) to the fluid outlet (41). Parts of the fluid receiving chamber extend transversely with respect to the throughflow direction (11). More than one fluid receiving chamber is arranged one after the other in the throughflow direction (11). The fluid receiving chamber that is first upstream and the fluid receiving chamber that is last downstream immediately adjoin the fluid inlet (35) and the fluid outlet (41), respectively.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Herbert Baltes, Peter Kloft, Robert Marinus Behr, Frank Thielecke, Arne Waitschat

Patent number: 10378564Abstract: A damping device, in particular for damping or avoiding pressure surges, such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, has a damping housing surrounding a damping chamber and having a fluid inlet (3) and a fluid outlet (5). A fluid receiving chamber (7) extends between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A fluid flow crosses the damping chamber in a throughflow direction (11) from the fluid inlet (3) to the fluid outlet (5). Parts of the fluid receiving chamber (7) extend transversely with respect to the throughflow direction (11). The fluid receiving chamber (7) immediately adjoins the fluid inlet (3) and the fluid outlet (5). A guide element (51) is provided in the damping chamber. The fluid flow flows against the guide element changing the flow speed of the flow at least in sections.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Herbert Baltes, Peter Kloft, Robert Marinus Behr, Frank Thielecke, Arne Waitschat

Patent number: 10024478Abstract: A damping device damps or prevents pressure shocks, such as pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, and has a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber (19), with a fluid inlet (11) and a fluid outlet (13). A fluid receiving chamber (19) extends between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet. During operation of the device, a fluid flow coming from the fluid inlet (11) in a through-flow direction (15) traverses the damping chamber (19) toward the fluid outlet (13). Parts of the fluid receiving chamber (19) extend in a direction transverse to the through-flow direction (15). The fluid receiving chamber (19) is located directly adjacent to the fluid inlet (11) and the fluid outlet (13).Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignees: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY GMBH, AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Peter Kloft, Robert Marinus Behr, Arne Waitschat, Frank Thielecke
