FLUID-PRESSURE DIAPHRAGM ACCUMULATOR Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F15B1/24 F16L55/04 

FIELD: fluid-pressure actuators.

SUBSTANCE: fluid-pressure diaphragm accumulator comprises tank separated into gas and liquid spaces by the diaphragm. The top wall of the tank is provided with the unit for control of compressed air. The housing of the unit has the vertical cylindrical passage that enters the gas space of the tank and two cylindrical passages arranged perpendicular to it and receives identical valves spring-loaded to the connecting pipe faces by springs. The connecting pipes are mounted in the housing in front of the valves and overlap the nozzle opening for the inflowing compressed air into the space of the tank. The other connecting pipe receives the reducing valve and nozzle opening for discharging the compressed gas to the atmosphere. The vertical passage and longitudinal through grooves in the valve receive master cam which is connected with the diaphragm and cooperates with the stops of its valves by means of cam when the diaphragm moves outside of the specified working zone.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
