Abstract
A system for assembling a high-pressure fluid tube on a tubular pin and which is provided to be used in particular on motorcycles and motor-vehicles, for example for the production of pipes intended for manufacturing braking circuits or other circuits, in which high-pressure oil or other fluids flow. in particular, the high-pressure fluid tube is of the kind comprising a first inner layer made of plastic, a second layer made of a steel crossed mesh or other suitable material such as fibers or the like, and a third coating layer, if any, made, for instance of plastic material. The system comprises a fitting element having a bush made of steel, alloy or other material, wherein the high-pressure fluid tube is fitted on the tubular pin and locked by crimping the metallic bush having a radial flange extending into an annular groove of the tubular pin and distorting an 0-ring gasket arranged in the annular groove between the radial flange and the tubular pin.
Description
SYSTEM FOR ASSEMBLING A HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID TUBE AND A
FITTING ELEMENT, AND FITTING OBTAINED BY THIS SYSTEM.
The present invention refers to a system for assembling a high-pressure fluid tube on a tubular pin, which is part of a fitting element provided to be used in particular on motorcycles and motor-vehicles, for example for the production of pipes intended for manufacturing braking circuits or other circuits, in which high-pressure oil or other fluids flow.
In particular, the invention relates to a system for assembling a high-In order to avoid any oil leakage, which nfay occur in the vehicle systems made by the known methods, the invention teaches to create, in the pin where the tube is fitted into, an annular groove assigned to lodge an OR-type gasket.
The system for assembling according to the invention enables to create, without the use of particularly complex and expensive equipment or tightness and, as a result of it, are able to pass the strict tests provided for by the regulations on this subject.
As it is known, most of vehicles equipped, provided with circuits that bring fluids under pressure, comprise also parts made of hoses, provided at the ends with fittings elements to be coupled with corresponding elements fitted on the vehicle.
The said hoses comprise, in general, three of more layers: an inner layer made of plastic, an intermediate layer consisting of a steel plait able to resist internal high pressure, and a third layer, a coating layer, made of plastic.
At the ends, on the said hoses, metal bushes are fitted into, generally made of steel, which are then locked by crimping or caulking, to lock the hose on the pin.
On the other hand, it often happens that due to the high pressure, the fluid IS circulating in the hose, even if in a small amount, seeps between the hose internal and external wall of the pin, thus affecting, over the time, the correct operation of the system, with the risk of creating hazardous situations.
The sector feels therefore the need to be provided with means capable of assembling a high-pressure fluid tube on a pin, which is a part of a fitting, thus guaranteeing the system to be perfectly sealed.
This system is now solved by this invention, which refers to system for assembling a high-pressure fluid tube, provided, in the pin body, with an annular seating, wherein an OR-type gasket is fitted.
In this seating, one end of the said metal or alloy bush is inserted, which distorts during the crimping and pushes and distorts the gasket, by pressing it against the walls of the seating and thus guaranteeing a total tightness.
More particularly, the present invention provides a system for assembling a high-pressure fluid tube on a tubular pin having a body, an annular groove adjacent to the body, and an extending portion extending away from the annular groove, corn prisi ng:
a fitting element having a metal bush crimped over the tubular pin with a radial flange of the fitting element extending into the annular groove of the tubular pin and with the crimped bush of the fitting element extending over the extending portion of the tubular pin; and an 0-ring gasket arranged in said annular groove with said 0-ring being distorted and tightly fixed between the radial flange and the tubular pin by the crimping of the bush, for sealing the bush to the tubular pin;
the distortion of the 0-ring gasket pressing the gasket against the walls of said annular groove to create tightness between the radial flange and the tubular pin in the annular groove, and the high-pressure fluid tube being arranged between the crimped bush and the extending portion of the tubular pin.
This invention will be now described in detail, by way of example but without any limitation thereto, with reference to the drawing annexed hereto, which shows, in section, the end of a high-pressure tube fitted on a fitting element according to the invention.
With reference to the drawing, reference number 1 indicates, as a whole, the end of a high-pressure tube, fitted on a fitting element indicated, as a whole, with reference number 2.
3a This fitting element is substantially composed of a body 3, which is provided with a thread 4 or, however, known means suitable to allow the seal thereof with a complementary fitting element fitted on the vehicle, and a pin 5 on which the end of the tube 1 is fitted, The latter consists of an inner layer 6 made of plastic, such as, in particular, PTFE or also other plastic material, for example PA12 or PA11 or the like, one intermediate layer 7 consisting of a steel crossed mesh or of textile material such as Gore-Tex, in carbon fibre, or in other material capable of resisting the high-pressures of fluid circulating inside the tube, and, if necessary, a third external coating layer 8, made of rubber or plastic, for example PA.
A bush made of suitable metal, which can be steel, brass, an alloy or otherwise, indicated with reference number 9, is fitted on the end wall of the tube. The said bush is distorted by caulking or crimping, in such a way as to tighten lock it around the said tube. _______________________ The invention is characterised in that it provides, in the fitting element 2, for an annular groove 10, in which a gasket 11 is lodged, preferably an OR-ring gasket.
During the caulking operation, the edge of the metal or alloy bush 9 is bended and pushed inside the annular groove 10, thus exerting pressure on gasket 11, which distorts and is then heavily pressed against the groove walls, thus creating a perfect seal.
As it can be clear from the description above, the tube according to the invention requires an extremely inexpensive production method, since it permits to use the same equipment and the same components used until now for fittings of the known art, without the need of particular investments.
The dimensions, as well as the materials used, may vary according to the needs of use.
