Abstract

The disclosure relates to an insert piece for inserting into a channel section of an angled piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines. The insert piece has a mounting for placing on the channel section and at least one guide element for at least partly changing the flow direction of at least one part of a fluid flowing through the channel section by a change angle. The mounting has an opening, and the at least one guide element is arranged in the opening. The guide element extends between a first section of the mounting and a second section of the mounting and is secured to the mounting. The mounting has a recess between the first section and the second section.

Claims (12)

1 . An insert piece for inserting into a channel section of an angled piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines, wherein the insert piece has a mounting for placing on the channel section and at least one fluid flow component, wherein the mounting has an opening and the at least one fluid flow component is arranged in the opening and wherein the at least one component extends between a first section of the mounting and a second section of the mounting and is secured to the mounting, wherein the mounting has a recess between the first section and the second section, wherein the recess is formed and positioned on the mounting such that the recess is arranged on an inner angled edge of the angled piece when the insert piece is arranged in the angled piece, wherein the mounting extends in a circumferential direction around the opening of the mounting, and wherein the mounting is C-shaped and an opening of the C-shape corresponds to the recess of the mounting.

2 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fluid flow component is a valve and/or measuring element.

3 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fluid flow component is a guide element which at least partly changes a flow direction of at least one part of a fluid flowing through the channel section by a change angle.

4 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fluid flow component has at least partially a curved surface for changing the flow direction, wherein the curved surface extends at least partially around the recess.

5 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert piece has at least one spring element which effects weakening deformations acting radially to the opening on the at least one component.

6 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one spring element extends in a circumferential direction around the opening at least partially along the mounting.

7 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one spring element connects the at least one component to the first section and/or the second section.

8 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one spring element is a resilient lever which extends between the at least one component and the first section and/or second section.

9 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one fluid flow component is a guide element and has a support element, wherein the at least one guide element is connected via the support element to the at least one spring element.

10 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 5 , wherein at least one spring element is a compression ring section which is arranged radially outwardly relative to the opening on the mounting.

11 . An angled piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines, wherein the angled piece has a channel section for changing a flow direction of a fluid flowing through the angled piece by a change angle and an insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert piece is arranged in the channel section.

12 . The insert piece as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess provides an absence of the insert piece and an absence of the mounting at the inner angled edge of the of the angled piece when the insert piece is arranged in the angled piece.
