Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closure cover for openings on containers, in particular on motor vehicle radiators, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the first and the second valve body are nested concentrically with each other, wherein the second valve body axially between two end positions, which are bounded by a sealing seat or an axially opposite sealing surface of the inner lid part can be moved and wherein at rest, the first valve body is spring-loaded on the lid inner part supporting the second valve body.
- the sealing surface of the second valve body which is supported on the sealing seat of the cover inner part, lies radially on the outside relative to that sealing seat of the second valve body against which the sealing surface of the first valve body is supported.
- the second valve stage which is represented by the first valve body, concerns the Safety function of the closure cap to the effect that upon further increase of the container internal pressure with the exceeding of a safety limit of the first valve body is lifted from the second valve body, so that opens a second flow connection from the container interior to the container exterior.
- a closure lid of the type mentioned in which at rest, the first valve body to a sealing seat of the inner lid part directly abuts and the second valve body, the rest of a first compression spring of the first valve body against a second Compressive spring is pressed in the first valve stage after exceeding the first limit value of the container internal pressure when reaching the second limit against a further axially opposing sealing seat on the inner lid part is pressed, the first valve body lifts from its sealing seat on the inner lid.
- the first flow connection is thereby given between the two valve seats on the inner side of the cover on the one hand and the first and second valve body on the other hand and initially closed by the first valve body and then by the second valve body.
- the first valve body When the safety overpressure is exceeded, the first valve body is axially raised by a vacuum valve body which is acted upon in this way, which axially lifts the second flow connection by lifting it off from the second valve body creates.
- the tolerant structural adaptation of the individual components is less critical here, however, the design of the inner cover part is somewhat more expensive.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a closure cover of the type mentioned, which is simplified in terms of manufacturing technology and assembly technology with improved hysteresis.
- the inventive measures it is achieved that the production of the individual components and the adaptation to each other is less tolerance-bound and that the assembly can be done faster.
- the hysteresis behavior is improved due to the throttle gap arranged in front of the seal.
- the closing of the flow communication between the second and third valve bodies is achieved primarily by the presence of liquid coolant and not by the increased gas pressure. In other words, when increasing the container internal pressure, the air cushion located above the liquid coolant can flow out and contribute to a pressure equalization until it is degraded and the liquid cooling medium is present.
- a closure lid with a safety lock for openings on containers is also known.
- This safety lock makes it possible to prevent unscrewing of the closure lid when prevailing in the container overpressure, in that the closure cap is blocked against the filler neck on the container non-rotatably.
- This known safety lock uses an axially movable insert which surrounds the inner cover part or its valve arrangement and which is thereby exposed directly to the pressure prevailing in the container overpressure by its inner bottom is disposed in the opening of the filler neck.
- This axially movable insert is axially movable in a tubular additional inner part, but held non-rotatably, which sits non-rotatably in the filler neck of the container and against which the closure lid is rotatable. When occurring in the container overpressure, the insert is moved axially in the direction of the closure lid and engages in this non-rotatably. This results in a rotational blocking of the closure lid over the insert and the additional inner part with the filler neck of the container.
- both the axially movable insert and the tubular additional inner part increase the diameter of the Cover inner part of the closure cover or reduce the effective area of the valve assembly of the closure cap, which has a negative impact on the response of the valve assembly.
- a guide element is provided for direct transmission of motion from the first valve body to the coupling insert according to the features of claim 17.

- the closure lid 11 reaches the operating state shown in Fig. 2, in which due to the increased internal container pressure of the first valve body 17 against the action of its first compression spring 22 with its first ring seal 21 from the first sealing seat 24 of the second Valve body 18 lifts and thus the first flow connection 50 opens, so that air from the air cushion located above the liquid cooling medium flow to the outside, thereby compensating or can reduce the pressure. Due to the overpressure located in the chamber 34, the second valve body 18 is further pressed with its second annular seal 31 against the second sealing seat 32 of the inner lid part 14. If the overpressure is reduced again below the first limit value, the first valve body 17 again comes into sealing contact with the second valve body 18.

- Such pressure conditions prevail, for example, in a parked vehicle for a long time or when driving the vehicle and sufficient cooling of the inside of the radiator coolant by the wind and / or with fan assistance. If the vehicle is shut down, for example, after a long journey, an increase in pressure may result inside the radiator, as a result of which the radiator content (air or water or water vapor) can flow to the valve arrangement 15. If the coolant volume expands as a result of this reheating effect in such a way that the container volume is exceeded, this would inevitably lead to coolant discharge.
- the vacuum valve body 57 is lifted with its sealing seat 61 from the underside of the first ring seal 21 of the first valve body 17 towards the interior of the cooler.

- the membrane ring seal 121 allows this relative movement between radially inner valve body portion 165 and radially outer valve body portion 166 due to their meandering shape between their two sealing edges 167 and 168 to.
- the grip element 112 is rotated in relation to the closure element 110, so that, starting from a certain defined overpressure (here, for example, 0.3 bar) unscrewing the closure lid 111 from the container filler neck is no longer possible.
- a certain defined overpressure here, for example, 0.3 bar
- the valve arrangement 115 reaches the operating state shown in FIG. 7, in which the radially outer valve body part 166 of the first valve body 117 counteracts due to the increased internal container pressure Effect of its first compression spring 122 with radially outer sealing edge 168 of its first ring seal 121 lifts from the first sealing seat 124 of the second valve body 118 and thus the first flow connection 150 opens, so that air flow from the air cushion located above the liquid cooling medium to the outside and thereby compensate for the pressure or can degrade.
- the predetermined first limit value for example 1.4 bar
- the second valve body 118 Due to the overpressure in the chamber 134, the second valve body 118 continues to be pressed with its second annular seal 131 against the second sealing seat 132 of the inner lid part 114. If the overpressure is reduced again below the first limit value, the radially outer valve body part 166 again comes into sealing contact with the second valve body 118. The anti-twist device remains activated.
- Closing the first flow connection 150 between the second and third valve bodies 118, 119 results in a reduction of the pressure in the chamber 134 to a value below said predetermined limit, so that the radially outer valve body part 166 of the first valve body 117 by the action of its first Compression spring 122 is moved toward the second valve body 118. 8. If the container internal pressure is reduced by cooling the motor vehicle radiator and the liquid coolant medium is returned, the third valve body 119 is returned under the action of its second compression spring 146, so that the first flow connection 150 opens again in this area , as shown in FIG. 5.
- the second valve body 118 when an upper safety pressure limit value is exceeded, becomes counter to that on the radially outer one Valve body part 166 of the first valve body 117 -loading first compression spring 122 lifted from the second sealing seat 132 on the inner cover part 114, so that the second flow connection 151 is opened, whereby said overpressure can be reduced (see Fig. 9).
- the anti-rotation lock is still activated.
- the said overpressure can be reduced via the second flow connection, after which a corresponding return of the valve bodies via the various operating states can take place through the individual compression springs and the clutch insert 180, as FIG. 5 shows.
- the home position illustrated in FIG. 5 occupies the valve assembly 115 when the inner cylinder pressure moves between a vacuum threshold and the first overpressure threshold.
- a vacuum threshold For example, in a parked vehicle for a long time or when driving the vehicle and sufficient cooling of the coolant inside the cooler by the airstream and / or with fan assistance.
- the vehicle If the vehicle is shut down, for example, after a long journey, an increase in pressure may result inside the radiator, as a result of which the radiator content (air or water or water vapor) can flow to the valve arrangement 115. If the coolant volume expands as a result of this reheating effect in such a way that the container volume is exceeded, this would inevitably lead to coolant discharge.
- the vacuum valve body 157 is lifted with its sealing seat 161 from the underside of the radially inner sealing edge 167 of the first ring seal 121 of the first valve body 117 toward the interior of the cooler , The lowering of the vacuum valve body 157 takes place against the biasing force of the third compression spring 159, so that opens in a manner not shown, a flow communication path between the radiator interior and the radiator outer.
- the sealing seat 61 or 161 of the vacuum valve body 57, 157 is not arranged on a in the chamber 34, 134 flat plate, but arranged in a cylindrical chamber 34, 134 to the outer periphery in the Cross-section sawtooth plate provided. Furthermore, in variants of one or both aforementioned embodiments, the second sealing seat 32, 132 for the O-ring 31, 131 is formed as a conical surface.
- the third valve body 19 or 119 is pot-shaped and open towards the opening into the cylindrical chamber 34 or 134.
- the upper edge this pot-shaped valve body forms a ring seat for a sealing ring, which surrounds said opening to the cylindrical chamber 34, 134 back.
- the cup-shaped third valve body receives a compression spring, which corresponds to the compression spring 46, 146, and is pressed by the said sealing ring away downwards.
- the function of this third valve body remains the same as that of the third valve body 19, 119 of said embodiments. In other words, this cup-shaped third valve body is pressed with its ring seat to the sealing ring, the relevant flow connection is closed.
