Abstract

Depending on its size, nature and material the seal is subjected to a gas mixture based on ozone and air for a given period. The ozone attacks the NBR components of the elastomer causing a hardening of the surface and a structure change. An Independent claim is made for a use of the process with seals which have a plastic or metal support.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Oberflächenbehandlung von in Schaltventilen von Kraftfahrzeugen für Flüssigkeiten oder Gase eingesetzten Dichtelementen, bestehend aus Elastomeren oder Elastomer-Mischungen.The invention relates to a method for the surface treatment of in Switching valves used in motor vehicles for liquids or gases Sealing elements consisting of elastomers or elastomer mixtures.

Aus der EP 0 633 415 B1 ist ein solches Schaltventil bekannt, bei dem ein aus einem Elastomer bestehendes Dichtelement in einem Kunststoffkörper eingesetzt ist und in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Ventilsitzen wirkt. Bei Elektromagnetventilen die als pulsbreitenmodulierte Schaltventile mit hoher Schaltfrequenz eine hohe Schaltspielzahl erreichen müssen, ist die Dauerhaltbarkeit, d. h. die Verschleißfestigkeit, des Dichtelementes von großer Bedeutung. Die Einsatzbedingungen für solche Dichtelemente in Funktionsbauteilen von Kraftfahrzeugen, insbesondere im Motorenraum mit Temperaturen zwischen -40°C und 180°C erfordern Elastomer-Werkstoffe mit konstanten Eigenschaften im gesamten Temperaturbereich. Darüber hinaus ist auch die Beständigkeit gegenüber Kraftstoffen, Ölen etc. notwendig. Der Elastomer-Werkstoff HNBR/NBR (genauer Teil-Hydrierter-Acrylnitril-Butadien- Kautschuk) verfügt über die geforderten Eigenschaften. Bei dem Einsatz solcher Werkstoffe für den angegebenen Verwendungszweck kommt neben der angesprochenen Lebensdauerproblematik noch hinzu, daß sie eine gewisse Haft- oder Klebeneigung gegenüber dem Ventilsitz aufweisen. Dies bedeutet, daß nach längerer Zeit in geschlossenem Ventilzustand das Dichtelement am Ventilsitz anhaftet und sich das Ventil nur verzögert mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand öffnen läßt. Kurze Ventilansprechzeiten und kleine Verstellwege werden durch den Klebeffekt der Dichtelemente stark behindert. Zur Verringerung der Klebeneigung ist die Beschichtung mit Teflon als Anti-Haft-Mittel bekannt. Problematisch ist hierbei jedoch die Langzeitwirkung in kraftstoffhaltiger Atmosphäre.Such a switching valve is known from EP 0 633 415 B1, in which an on an elastomer sealing element used in a plastic body and works in conjunction with appropriate valve seats. At Solenoid valves as switching valves with high pulse width modulation Switching frequency must reach a high number of switching cycles is Durability, d. H. the wear resistance, the sealing element of great Importance. The conditions of use for such sealing elements in Functional components of motor vehicles, especially in the engine compartment Temperatures between -40 ° C and 180 ° C require elastomer materials constant properties in the entire temperature range. Beyond that resistance to fuels, oils etc. is also necessary. The Elastomer material HNBR / NBR (more precisely part-hydrogenated-acrylonitrile-butadiene- Rubber) has the required properties. When using such Materials for the specified purpose come in addition to the added life-time problems that they have a certain liability or have a tendency to stick to the valve seat. This means that after the sealing element on the valve seat for a long time when the valve is closed adheres and the valve can only be opened after a delay with increased effort. Short valve response times and short adjustment paths are due to the adhesive effect the sealing elements severely hindered. To reduce the tendency to stick is the  Coating with Teflon is known as a non-stick agent. This is problematic however, the long-term effect in a fuel-containing atmosphere.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es diese Nachteile bei Dichtelementen aus Elastomeren zu beseitigen.The object of the invention is to address these disadvantages with sealing elements made of elastomers to eliminate.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the method according to claim 1.

Das Verfahren kann auch eingesetzt werden bei Dichtelementen die mit Trägerelementen aus Kunststoff oder Metall verbunden sind.The method can also be used for sealing elements with Carrier elements made of plastic or metal are connected.

Die Behandlung von Elastomeroberflächen zur Prüfung von Elastomeren, insbesondere NBR ist im Kraftfahrzeugbereich bekannt (Ozonolyse).Treatment of elastomer surfaces for testing elastomers, NBR in particular is known in the motor vehicle sector (ozonolysis).

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren bestehen die Elastomer-Dichtelemente für Ventile aus einem Co-Polymer HNBR/NBR (genauer Teil-Hydrierter- Acrylnitril-Butadien-Kautschuk). Die Ozonisierung hat folgende Wirkung: Das Ozon greift die NBR-Bestandteile des Elastomers an. Die Doppelbindung der Monomere wird zerstört. Die Oberfläche verhärtet und die Struktur verändert sich. Dadurch kommt es zur Abnahme der Klebeneigung. Das Innere des Dichtelementes bleibt unverändert. Hierdurch wird die Verschleißfestigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit der Dichtelemente vergrößert.In the method according to the invention, there are the elastomer sealing elements for valves made of a co-polymer HNBR / NBR (more precisely partially hydrogenated Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber). Ozonization has the following effect: Ozone attacks the NBR components of the elastomer. The double bond of Monomers are destroyed. The surface hardens and the structure changes. This leads to a decrease in the tendency to stick. The inside of the Sealing element remains unchanged. This makes the wear resistance and Durability of the sealing elements increased.

Da die Dichtelemente diesem Verfahrensschritt als letzte Fertigungsstufe unterzogen werden und hierbei nicht Abmessungen bzw. Toleranzen beeinflußt werden, ist die Wirkung dieses Verfahrens dauerhaft, da die durch die Behandlung beeinflußte Oberfläche nicht durch nachfolgende Verfahrensschritte bzw. Herstellungsprozesse abgetragen bzw. beeinträchtigt wird. Die Verfahrensparameter müssen in Abhängigkeit von Größe, Beschaffenheit und Werkstoff der Dichtelemente bestimmt werden. Unter Beschaffenheit der Dichtelemente wird z. B. die Verbindung des Dichtelementes mit einem Trägerelemente aus Kunststoff oder Metall verstanden. Because the sealing elements use this process step as the last stage of production are subjected to dimensions and tolerances be, the effect of this procedure is permanent, since the through the Treatment does not affect the surface by subsequent process steps or manufacturing processes are removed or impaired. The Process parameters must depend on size, nature and Material of the sealing elements can be determined. Under the nature of the Sealing elements such. B. the connection of the sealing element with a Understand plastic or metal support elements.  

Die Ozonisierung erfolgt bei 2 ppm (-15%) Ozonkonzentration {Umgebungsluft wird mit O3 angereichert}, (25 + 3) °C und (60 ± 5)% relativer Luftfeuchte über eine Einwirkzeit von (5 ± 3) Stunden.Ozonation takes place at 2 ppm (-15%) ozone concentration {ambient air is enriched with O3}, (25 + 3) ° C and (60 ± 5)% relative humidity over a Exposure time of (5 ± 3) hours.
