Abstract

A line arrangement is provided for transmitting volume flows of fluids with a port which is assigned to a pump, a port which is assigned to an actuator and a connecting line which connects the pump to the actuator. An amplified damping effect of pulsations occurring in the line arrangement is achieved in that at least one line through which there is not a flow and which is composed at least partially of an elastic hose should branch off from the connecting line. At least one inner hose oriented axially with respect to the elastic hose is provided which has at least one free end opening axially to an axial space of the elastic hose.

Claims (38)

1. A pipe arrangement for transmitting volume flows of a fluid, comprising:

a port which is assigned to a pump,

a port which is assigned to a consumer,

a connecting pipe which connects the pump to the consumer,

an outer pipe having an open end and a closed end, which outer pipe is connected to the fluid at its open end, and which outer pipe is at least partially composed of an elastic hose, and

an inner hose of a relatively small diameter, which

(i) is oriented coaxially with respect to the outer pipe,

(ii) is disposed to extend in the elastic hose of the outer pipe, and

(iii) has one free end which points in the direction of the open end of the outer pipe and points away from the closed end of the outer pipe, wherein an outer diameter of the inner hose at its free end is smaller than an inner diameter of the outer pipe to form a space between the outer diameter of the inner hose and the inner diameter of the outer pipe.

2. The pipe arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pipe, through which there is no flow of the fluid, branches off directly from the port, which is assigned to the pump.

3. The pipe arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of inner hoses of different lengths are arranged in the outer elastic hose of the pipe through which there is no flow of the fluid.

4. The pipe arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pipe, through which there is no flow of the fluid, branches off from the connecting pipe.

5. The pipe arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of inner hoses of different lengths are arranged in the outer elastic hose of the pipe through which there is no flow of the fluid.

6. The pipe arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of inner hoses of different lengths are arranged in the outer elastic hose of the pipe through which there is no flow of the fluid.

7. Pipe element comprising:

one port for a fluid connection to a fluid circuit,

an outer pipe, which has an open end connected to the port and which has a closed end, and

an inner pipe, which is arranged inside and orientated coaxially with respect to the outer pipe and which has at least one free end which points in a direction of the open end of the outer pipe and points away from the closed end of the outer pipe,

wherein at least one of the outer pipe and the inner pipe is at least partially composed of an elastic hose, and

wherein an outer diameter of the inner pipe at its free end is smaller than an inner diameter of the outer pipe to form a space between the outer diameter of the inner pipe and the inner diameter of the outer pipe.

8. Pipe element according to claim 7 , wherein the outer pipe and the inner pipe are at least partially composed of an elastic hose.

9. Pipe element according to claim 8 , wherein the elastic hose which is at least part of the inner pipe is arranged in the elastic hose which is at least part of the outer hose.

10. Pipe element according to claim 9 , wherein a plurality of inner hoses of different lengths are arranged in the outer elastic hose of the outer pipe.

11. A pipe arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein a plurality of said inner pipes are arranged in the outer pipe.

12. A pipe arrangement for transmitting volume flows of a fluid comprising:

a port which is assigned to a pump,

a port which is assigned to a consumer,

a connecting pipe which connects the pump to the consumer, and

a pipe element comprising:

one port for a fluid connection to a fluid circuit,

an outer pipe, which has an open end connected to the port and which has a closed end, and

an inner pipe, which is arranged inside and orientated coaxially with respect to the outer pipe and which has at least one free end which points in a direction of the open end of the outer pipe and points away from the closed end of the outer pipe,

wherein at least one of the outer pipe and the inner pipe is at least partially composed of an elastic hose,

wherein the port of the pipe element is in fluid connection with one of the port which is assigned to the pump, the port which is assigned to the consumer and the connection pipe, and

wherein an outer diameter of the inner pipe at its free end is smaller than an inner diameter of the outer pipe to form a space between the outer diameter of the inner pipe and the inner diameter of the outer pipe.

13. A pipe arrangement according to claim 12 , wherein the outer pipe and the inner pipe are at least partially composed of an elastic hose.

14. A pipe arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the elastic hose which is at least part of the inner pipe is arranged in the elastic hose which is at least part of the outer hose.

15. A pipe arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein a plurality of inner hoses of different lengths are arranged in the outer elastic hose of the outer pipe.
