Seal arrangement for fluid space separation and sealing
The patent US12066104B2 describes a novel seal arrangement designed to effectively separate fluid spaces, featuring a sealing element composed of multiple interconnected components. Each sealing element component includes at least two base body parts and a resilient sealing body part. The base body parts are dimensionally stable and facilitate the structural integrity of the seal, while the resilient sealing body parts provide the necessary sealing function. The design allows for a form-fitting connection between components, enabling the creation of annularly closed shapes. The resilient sealing body can include sealing lips of varying heights, enhancing the sealing capability at different edges of the base body.
Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations and materials for the seal arrangement, including the use of elastomer materials such as ethylene acrylate rubber and silicone rubber, as well as base body materials like metal and plastics. The manufacturing process for the seal arrangement can involve techniques such as injection molding and laser cutting. The application of this seal arrangement extends to batteries and control boxes, particularly in motor vehicles, indicating its relevance in automotive engineering. The claims also encompass methods for producing the seal arrangement, emphasizing the modular and customizable nature of the sealing components.
