<p>An accumulator deflector connection is used in an accumulator (10) including a deep drawn can (12) connected to a puck (50) having an inlet passage (51) and an outlet passage (52). The outlet passage (52) includes a counterbore (53) having a cylindrical bushing (61) received therein, the deflector (20) has a cylindrical extension (25) received within the passage (64) of the cylindrical bushing (61) and the outlet end (32) of the outlet tube (30) is received within the passage (26) of the cylindrical extension (25) of the deflector (20) and the cylindrical bushing (61) is crimped to create a mechanical lock. In an alternate embodiment, the outlet end (32,132,232) of the outlet tube (30,130,230) includes knurling (34,134,234) thereon and located in the passage (26) of the cylindrical extension (25) of the thermoplastic deflector (20) and the thermoplastic deflector (20) is melted into the knurling (34,134,234) during the welding of the can (12) to the puck (50). In a further alternate embodiment, the outlet end (132) of the outlet passage (130) includes a radial channel (138) located at the crimp of the connection to create a stronger mechanical lock between the cylindrical bushing (61), the deflector (20) and the outlet tube (130). <IMAGE></p> |
