FLUID CONTAINER COMPRISING A SHUT-OFF DEVICE
A fluid container for a hydraulic unit comprises a container housing which has at least one connection part, which can be shut off by means of a shut-off device arranged in the fluid container. The container housing has at least one internal chamber and a channel for connecting the internal chamber to the hydraulic unit. The connection part and the shut-off device are combined in a separate module, which is connected to the container housing.
1 . A fluid container for a hydraulic unit comprising:
a container housing having at least one internal chamber;
at least one connection part, which projects relative to an outer side of the fluid container;
an internal channel for connecting the internal chamber to the unit;
a receiving seat of the unit to receive the connection part;
a shut-off device for shutting off the internal channel when the connection part is outside the receiving seat; and
wherein the connection part and the shut-off device are combined in a separate module, which is connected to the container housing.
2 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the container housing has, in an outer wall, an aperture which is closed by the module.
3 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the module is arranged on the outside of the container housing.
4 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shut-off device further comprises a spring-loaded valve body which is arranged at least partly in the internal channel such that, as the connection part is received in the receiving seat, the valve body is supported in the receiving seat and forced in the direction of the internal chamber, thereby hydraulically unblocking the internal channel.
5 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the module has, in addition to the connection part, at least one separate fastener for fixing the fluid container on the unit.
6 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluid container has at least two half-shells, which are connected to one another in a parting plane, and the connection part is aligned parallel to the parting plane.
7 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluid container has a filler neck and the connection part is aligned transversely in relation to the alignment of the filler neck.
8 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the module has at least two connection parts aligned parallel to one another.
9 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection between the module and the container housing is materially bonded.
10 . The fluid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the unit is a unit for generating and/or modulating a brake pressure in a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system.
11 . A brake device for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system comprising:
a fluid container;
a container housing having at least one internal chamber;
at least one connection part, which projects relative to an outer side of the fluid container;
an internal channel for connecting the internal chamber to the unit
a receiving seat of the unit to receive the connection part;
a shut-off device for shutting off the internal channel when the connection part is outside the receiving seat; and
wherein the connection part and the shut-off device are combined in a separate module, which is connected to the container housing.
12 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the container housing has an outer wall of the container housing defines an aperture, which is closed by the module.
13 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the module is arranged on the outside of the container housing.
14 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the shut-off device further comprises a spring-loaded valve body which is arranged at least partly in the internal channel such that, as the connection part is received in the receiving seat, the valve body is supported in the receiving seat and forced in the direction of the internal chamber, thereby hydraulically unblocking the internal channel.
15 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the module has at least one separate fastener for fixing the fluid container on the unit.
16 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the fluid container has at least two half-shells, connected to one another in a parting plane, and wherein the connection part is aligned parallel to the parting plane.
17 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the fluid container has a filler neck and the connection part is aligned transversely in relation to the filler neck.
18 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the module has at least two connection parts aligned parallel to one another.
19 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the connection between the module and the container housing is materially bonded.
20 . The brake device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the hydraulic unit generates and/or modulates a brake pressure in the hydraulic motor vehicle brake system.
