US 8,540,110 B2 · High-pressure container

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-pressure container comprising a thin-walled, cylindrical metal liner (1) having bases (8) on the end sections and an outer stable jacket (2) that surrounds the liner (1). At least one of the bases (8) of the liner (1) has a slight convex curvature towards the interior of the liner (1). A pressure converter (4) is situated between the outer surface of the convex base (8) and the inner surface of a base part of the stable jacket (2), said converter being constructed from a rigid profiled base on the side facing the base part of the rigid jacket (2) and a deformable cushion (6) of viscoelastic material on the side facing the convex base (8).

Dependent claims

A high-pressure container comprising:

a thin-walled, cylindrical, metallic liner with end walls;
an outer stable jacket surrounding the liner, at least one of the end walls of the liner being curved gently with slight convexity as a segment of a sphere toward an interior of the liner, a maximum height of the spherical segment being no more than 0.06 of a radius of the cylindrical liner;
and
a pressure buffer between the outer surface of the curved end wall and the inner surface of an end wall of the stable jacket, the pressure buffer being formed on the side directed toward the end wall of the stable jacket as a rigid profile base and, on the side directed toward the curved end wall, as a deformable cushion of viscoelastic material.
