Title: Innovations by Hans Wölfges
Introduction
Hans Wölfges is a notable inventor based in Lohr, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydraulic devices and valve technology. With a total of 2 patents, his work has been instrumental in advancing fluid control mechanisms.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a closure element, specifically a valve cone for a continuous pressure valve. This invention features a closing body that is mounted in an axially displaceable manner within a bore of a fluidic valve. It effectively controls the pressure medium flowing through the valve. The closing body includes a sealing section that interacts with a seating edge of the valve and a guide section designed to guide the valve cone within the bore. The guide section is innovatively designed with recesses that allow for an overflow of pressure medium between both sides of the closing body. To reduce production costs, the guide section is cylindrical and features at least one helical groove that extends from one side to the other. This closing body is particularly useful in constant pressure valves for managing fluid pressure mediums.
Another significant patent by Wölfges is a hydraulic device that includes a nut part with a threaded hole featuring an internal screw thread of a defined nominal diameter and uniform pitch. The screw part has an external screw thread with the same nominal diameter and pitch, which is screwed into the threaded hole. This design addresses common issues in hydraulic devices, such as the need for adhesive bonding of screw parts, which can lead to complications. Wölfges' innovation introduces a slight difference in pitch between the internal and external screw threads, allowing for elastic deformation of multiple thread turns, thus securing the screw part against detachment.
