An accumulator includes a pressure vessel and a partition portion separating an interior space of the pressure vessel into a liquid chamber and a gas chamber so that a volume ratio between the liquid chamber and the gas chamber in the pressure vessel is variable. The pressure vessel includes a first section including a thread portion for fastening the accumulator to a support member and a second section joined to the first section and formed by a single piece including a tool engagement portion capable of engaging with a tool for rotating the accumulator. The first section and the second section are fitted together by mating portions coaxial with the thread portion and the tool engagement portion.

An accumulator includes a pressure vessel including a first section and a second section joined to each other via a joint portion and a partition portion separating an interior space of the pressure vessel into a liquid chamber and a gas chamber so that a volume ratio between the liquid chamber and the gas chamber in the pressure vessel is variable. The first section includes a thread portion for fastening the accumulator to a support member. The second section includes an abutting portion disposed opposite to the thread portion across the joint portion in an axial direction of the thread portion and configured to abut on the support member when the accumulator is fastened to the support member.

An accumulator capable of suppressing collision of a metal bellows with a pressure vessel. A partition unit 300 includes: a tubular metal bellows 310, one end of which is side fixed to a pressure vessel 200 and which expands and contracts according to pressure in a fluid chamber and pressure in a gas chamber; and a bellows cap 320 which is fixed to another end side of the metal bellows 310, the partition unit 300 further including: a seal member 330 which is provided between the bellows cap 320 and a port 221 and seals a working fluid on the side of the fluid chamber via the metal bellows 310 when the metal bellows 310 contracts; and a sliding unit 350 which is fixed to the bellows cap 320 and slides in an expansion/contraction direction of the metal bellows 310 relative to a stay 400.

Fluid equipment includes a container configured for having first and second fluids therein, a first fluid outlet/inlet path provided for outflow and inflow of the first fluid, a second fluid outlet/inlet path for outflow and inflow of the second fluid, and a member configured for moving in the container in response to pressure of the first fluid, the fluid equipment transmitting energy from the first to the second fluid. A first bellows is configured such that one end is closed in a sealed state by the moving member, the other end is fixed to an inner surface part of the container in a sealed state, and the inside of the first bellows communicates with the first fluid outlet/outlet path.

The accumulator includes a housing having a sealing face and a fluid inlet/outlet passage; and a bellows fixed at one end to the housing such that an inner space of the housing is hermetically partitioned by the bellows into an interior and an exterior of the bellows. The bellows includes a bellows main body capable of expanding and contracting and a bellows cap provided with a sealing member covered with an elastic body that is opposed to and capable of being closely attached to the sealing face of the housing. The fluid inlet/outlet passage of the housing is closed upon a close attachment of the elastic body to the sealing face. The accumulator further includes a spacer placed between the housing and the bellows cap so as to surround the sealing member. The spacer has a communication passage providing communication between an inside and an outside of the spacer.

An accumulator includes a bellows having a plurality of outer ridge portions and a plurality of inner annular ridge portions and configured to be capable of expanding and contracting, and a housing having a fluid supply port and fixed to one end of the bellows serving as a fixed end. An interior of the housing is partitioned in a sealed state into an inside and an outside of the bellows. The outer annular ridge portions are divided into at least a first sector and a second sector which are distributed in an expansion and contraction direction of the bellows such that the second sector is positioned between the first sector and the fixed end. The outer annular ridge portions included in the first sector have an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the outer annular ridge portions included in the second sector.

An accumulator designed to damp the pressure waves of the hydraulic shocks originating in a downstream section of a duct is arranged inside the duct, with the opening of the accumulator pointing downstream. This results in excellent absorption of the pressure wave and protection of the circuit from possible accumulations of air, water or ice, there being no areas where the flow stagnates. Immersing the accumulator in the flow also makes it possible to ensure that the equipment is protected in the event of a fire.

An accumulator 1 includes a housing having a sealing face and a fluid inlet/outlet passage; a bellows fixed at least one end to the housing such that an inner space of the housing such that an inner space of the housing is hermetically partitioned by the bellows into an interior and an exterior of the bellows, the bellows including a bellows main body capable of expanding and contracting and a bellows cap including an annular seal holder, and a sealing member formed by covering a disc-shaped substrate with an elastic body that is opposed to and capable of being closely attached to the sealing face of the housing. At least a center part of a surface of the substrate opposing the sealing face is a curved surface having an arc shape in a sectional view.

An accumulator includes a housing having a sealing face and a fluid inlet/outlet passage, a bellows fixed at least one end to the housing such that an inner space of the housing is hermetically partitioned by the bellows into an interior and an exterior of the bellows, the bellows including a bellows main body capable of expanding and contracting and a bellows cap including an annular seal holder, and a sealing member formed by covering a disc-shaped substrate with an elastic body that is opposed to and capable of being closely attached to the sealing face of the housing, the sealing member is held by a holding portion of the annular seal holder on an inner diameter side of the annular seal holder, the fluid inlet/outlet passage of the housing being closed upon a close attachment of the elastic body to the sealing face.

An accumulator includes a pressure container, a tubular bellows, a bellows cap divisionally defining a liquid chamber and a gas chamber in cooperation with the bellows. A stay provided with a through hole partitions the liquid chamber into a closed liquid chamber on a side of the bellows and an open liquid chamber on a side of the liquid pressure port. The bellows cap includes an elastic abutment part provided with an annular sealing part positioned around the through hole to face the through hole, a buffering part is positioned on a radially inner side of the sealing part, and communication passages always communicating with the through hole are formed in the buffering part of the elastic abutment part.
