Definitions
- the present invention relates to a, preferably screw-on or plug-in and rotatable closure cap to be fastened on a stationary connection piece, for example of a motor vehicle cooler, an expansion tank of cooling or heating systems or the like, with a screw or plug-in and rotating cap and a rotatable engaging part, within it a valve which is preferably designed in an overpressure / underpressure combination is arranged concentrically with the cap, the valve having a sealing element which, when the closure cover is applied, comes into sealing connection with the stationary connection piece, the closure cover in the state applied to the fixed connection piece by means of a temperature-dependent control element s against removal, preferably unscrewing or Turning off can be secured by using the temperature-dependent control element to achieve a rotatable coupling of the cap and the engaging part at normal temperature and a decoupling of the cap and engaging part at excess temperature.
- Such caps are used for example in motor vehicle cooling systems, either directly as a radiator cap or as a closure of the expansion tank.
- the cover can either be screwed on by means of a thread or it can be attached and rotated by means of a bayonet element.
- the pressure in the cooling system is also very high due to the high temperature. Even if the temperature in the cooling system is not too high at the time the engine is shut off, a temperature and thus an increase in pressure in the cooling system can take place after the engine has been switched off by a certain afterheating effect. If the cover is removed in the meantime, there is an acute risk of scalding for the user concerned.
- sealing caps with a temperature-dependent unscrewing protection were developed, which do not allow a user to remove the sealing cap by operating the cap in the event of excess temperature in the cooling system, since the cap rotates hollowly in relation to the engagement part in the event of excess temperature.
- a cover is known for example from WO 95/32 904.
- a temperature-dependent control element formed by a bimetallic element is provided in a relatively voluminous cavity inside the cap and above the engagement part, and according to another variant, a U-shaped coupling part can be raised and lowered in the axial direction.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a closure cover of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the temperature-dependent unscrewing protection is accommodated in a space-saving manner, so that the cap can be given a compact design.
- the unscrew protection should also be insensitive to failure and should be easy and economical to install.
- the rocker-like coupling part can be arranged in a space-saving manner between the engagement part and the cap. It can be operated reliably by using one leg of the temperature-dependent control element rocker-like coupling part is pushed away from the top of the engagement part, so that its other leg is released from the coupling position with the cap.
- the temperature-dependent control element is preferably formed by a memory spring. This preferably interacts with a control bolt which can be moved in the axial direction and which is supported against the underside of the rocker-like component.
- the memory spring can be arranged within the engagement part, in particular near the liquid surface, and the temperature-dependent control element is thus in good thermal contact with the interior of the cooling system.
- Unscrewing protection per se independent inventive concept are provided on the inside of the substantially cylindrical jacket-shaped wall of the cap substantially in the axial direction and slightly flexible tabs, lamellae or projections in the radial direction, which are slightly bent outwards when the engagement part is inserted into the cap and thus cap and hold the engagement part against each other without play and vibration. This prevents the engagement part from rattling in the cap.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section along the longitudinal axis of a closure cover according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged detail of Figure 1 with a rocker-like coupling part
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the cap of Figure
- the figures show a closure cover, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, which has a cap 2, an engagement part 4 which can be rotated relative to the cap and has an internally threaded section 6 and a valve unit 10 accommodated in a valve housing 8, and a temperature-dependent unscrew protection 12 with which a rotationally fixed coupling or Decoupling of cap 2 and engagement part 4 can be achieved.
- the cap 2 has a substantially planar wall area 14 which runs transversely to the plug-in direction and a flange-like downward facing to form supporting surfaces 16 (FIG. 3) slightly of the cylindrical shape deviating wall area 18.
- the cap 2 overlaps the engaging part 4 almost completely, so that there is only a relatively small, axially narrow space 20 between the cap 2 and the engaging part 4.
- the engaging part 4 is cup-shaped in accordance with the cap 2, the threaded section 6 being provided as an internal thread on the inside of the flange-like jacket section 22.
- the closure cap 1 is screwed with this threaded section 6 onto a fixed connection piece of a motor vehicle radiator or expansion tank. In the state screwed onto the fixed connection piece, the connection piece, not shown in the drawing, thus extends between the valve housing 8 and the jacket section 22 of the engaging part 4.
- the valve housing 8 is held locked on the underside 24 of a cover section 26 of the cup-shaped engagement part 4.
- each other downwardly projecting holding parts 28 which are slightly deflectable in the radial direction and have an engaging nose 30 with which an upper ring flange 32 of the valve housing 8 can be locked or clipped.
- a temperature-dependent Control element 34 is provided in the form of a memory spring 36.
- the memory spring 36 is supported against a bottom 38 of a cup-shaped component 40, which in turn is held in the valve housing 8. With its other end, the memory spring 36 presses against a control pin 42 which is guided on a hollow pin 44 which is guided through the base 38 and is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the axis.
- the memory spring 36 is arranged around this pin 44. With its end 46 facing away from the memory spring 36, the control pin 42 engages through a central opening 48 in the cover section 26 of the engagement part 4 and lies against the underside of a rocker-shaped coupling part 50.
- the rocker-shaped coupling part 50 is a bent sheet metal part and is essentially strip-shaped; it has a bead-like bend 54 forming the pivot axis 52, with which the coupling part 50 rests in a recess 56 on the upper side 58 of the engagement part 4.
- a resilient element 62 in the form of a leaf spring 64 from above and tries to press the leg 60 downwards towards the top 58 of the engaging part 4, whereby the leg 66 of the coupling part 50 located beyond the pivot axis 52 is pivoted upward and presses with its end 67 against the underside 68 of an annular collar or annular flange 70 (FIG.
- the ring collar or flange 70 has at least one recess 72, in which, with appropriate positioning the cap 2 can engage the end 67 of the leg 66 of the rocker-like coupling part 50 relative to the engaging part 4 and can thus effect a rotationally fixed coupling of the cap 2 and the engaging part 4.
- the state of unscrewing protection just described and shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is at normal temperature when the leaf spring 64 presses the radially inner leg 60 of the coupling part 50 downward. If the temperature inside the cooler housing is too high, the memory spring 36 is heated and expands in the longitudinal direction.
- the rocker-shaped coupling part 50 is in the assembled state of the cap 2 and the engaging part 4 tiltable about the pivot axis 4 but captive in the space 20 between the top 58 of the engaging part 4 and the cap 2.
- the already mentioned recess 56 is provided on the top 58, against the bottom 74 of which the bead-shaped area 54 abuts.
- the recess 56 in the axial
- an annular projection 76 is arranged on the cap 2, which extends concentrically to the longitudinal axis 78 of the closure cover. This annular projection 76 engages from above in the rear curvature 80 of the bead-shaped area 54, and prevents the coupling part 50 from coming loose or sliding out when, for example, the closure cover 1 is turned upside down.
- an opening 82 in the cap 2 which can be penetrated by a thin degree or the like, is provided in the longitudinal direction of the axis, in order to be able to press the leg 60 of the coupling part 50 downward in the event of a fault in the unscrewing protection 12, in order to provide a rotationally fixed coupling between the cap 2 and the engagement part 4 to reach.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the closure cover, by means of which the support surfaces 16 of the cap 2 can be seen.
