Abstract

The invention relates to a high-pressure hydraulic fluid screening element ( 1 ) for inserting into a hydraulic line or into a hydraulic connection of a hydraulic device, having an annular main body ( 2 ), which is aligned with respect to its axis of rotation ( 9 ) in a longitudinal direction ( 5 ). The outside diameter of the main body ( 2 ) is greater than its axial length. The inner cross section of the main body ( 2 ) is covered over by a screening region ( 3 ), which is provided with a multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ). In this case, the main body ( 2 ) and the screening region ( 3 ) are produced integrally by the powder injection-molding process.

Claims (19)

1. A high-pressure hydraulic fluid screening element ( 1 ) for inserting into a hydraulic line or into a hydraulic connection of a hydraulic device, having a main body ( 2 ), which is aligned with respect to the body's axis of rotation ( 9 ) in a longitudinal direction ( 5 ) and having an outside diameter of which is greater than the main body's axial length, and having a screening region ( 3 ), which covers over an inner cross section of the main body ( 2 ) and is provided with a multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are formed in a kidney-shaped manner, the main body ( 2 ) and the screening region ( 3 ) being produced integrally by a powder injection-moulding process.

2. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which an outer contour of the main body ( 2 ) is cylindrical or conical.

3. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the hydraulic fluid screening element ( 1 ) is in the form of a cup.

4. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the screening region ( 3 ) is arranged in an end region of the main body ( 2 ).

5. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are arranged in the screening region ( 3 ) circularly on multiple circles of different diameters.

6. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are joined onto the screening region ( 3 ) axially, radially and/or in a circumferential direction by way of rounded portions.

7. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which an opening cross section of the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) increases in the direction of a downstream cup opening of the screening region ( 3 ).

8. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the screening region ( 3 ) has a concave or convex dome shape.

9. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the screening region ( 3 ) is formed at least on one side in a stepped manner.

10. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in wherein the powder injection-moulding process is a Metal-Injection-Moulding (MIM) process.

11. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which a wall thickness between two neighbouring apertures ( 4 ), measured in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction ( 5 ), is less than 1 mm.

12. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) have a height, measured in a radial direction of the screening element ( 1 ) that is less than 0.35 mm.

13. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) have a height, measured in a radial direction of the screening element ( 1 ), that is less than 0.15 mm.

14. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures are conically formed.

15. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures have in a direction of a throughflow a cross section that widens in the direction of the throughflow.

16. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the main body tapers in the direction of a throughflow.

17. The hydraulic fluid screening element according to claim 1 , in which the multiplicity of apertures have rounded edges.

18. A high-pressure hydraulic fluid screening element ( 1 ) for inserting into a hydraulic line or into a hydraulic connection of a hydraulic device, having a main body ( 2 ) having an outer circumferential surface that tapers in a direction of a throughflow, the main body ( 2 ), is aligned with respect to the main body's axis of rotation ( 9 ) in a longitudinal direction ( 5 ) and having an outside diameter of which is greater than the main body's axial length, and having a screening region ( 3 ), which covers over an inner cross section of the main body ( 2 ) and is provided with a multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are formed in a kidney-shaped, the main body ( 2 ) and the screening region ( 3 ) being produced integrally by a powder injection-moulding process, an aperture cross section of the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) increases away from a center of the screening region ( 3 ).

19. A high-pressure hydraulic fluid screening element ( 1 ) for inserting into a hydraulic line or into a hydraulic connection of a hydraulic device, having a main body ( 2 ), which is aligned with respect to the body's axis of rotation ( 9 ) in a longitudinal direction ( 5 ) and having an outside diameter of which is greater than the main body's axial length, and having a screening region ( 3 ), which covers over an inner cross section of the main body ( 2 ) and is provided with a multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are formed in a kidney-shaped, the main body ( 2 ) and the screening region ( 3 ) being produced integrally by a powder injection-moulding process, wherein the multiplicity of apertures ( 4 ) are arranged in the screening region circularly on one of multiple circular regions of different diameters and a transition between respective circular regions are stepped.
