Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a fluid line which has a base body with at least one layer consisting of plastic.
  • the invention further relates to a fluid line.
  • the document DE 20 2011 109 257 U1 is known from the prior art.
  • This describes an arrangement with at least one bent flexible media line, at least one means for shape stabilization being provided to prevent a bending shape entered into the flexible media line from being reshaped, the means for shape stabilization taking shape during the bending shaping or after the bending shaping of the media line and maintains through energy transfer.
  • the fluid line is used to transport a fluid, in particular a liquid or gaseous fluid.
  • the fluid line is used, for example, in the motor vehicle sector and can accordingly represent a component of a motor vehicle.
  • the fluid line serves as a fuel line and thus the supply of fuel to a drive unit of the motor vehicle.
  • the fluid line is basically universally applicable.
  • it can also be in the form of a vacuum line, in particular a brake vacuum line, a BlowBy line, a hydraulic line, a cooling water line, a crankcase ventilation line or an activated carbon filter regeneration line.
  • the fluid line has the base body, which in turn has the at least one layer.
  • the base body can be configured in one layer and in this respect only one Have layer.
  • the base body is multi-layered and accordingly has several layers.
  • the layer or layers consist of plastic. If there are several layers, at least one of the layers consists of plastic, but preferably several or even all.

Description

BESCHREIBUNG DESCRIPTION

Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Fluidleitung sowie entsprechende Fluidleitung Method for producing a fluid line and corresponding fluid line

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Fluidleitung, die einen Grundkörper mit wenigstens einer aus Kunststoff bestehenden Schicht aufweist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiter hin eine Fluidleitung. The invention relates to a method for producing a fluid line which has a base body with at least one layer consisting of plastic. The invention further relates to a fluid line.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist beispielsweise die Druckschrift DE 20 2011 109 257 Ul bekannt. Diese beschreibt eine Anordnung mit zumindest einer gebogenen flexiblen Medienleitung, wobei zum Verhindern eines Rückformens einer der flexiblen Medienleitung eingegebenen Biegeform zumindest ein Mittel zur Formstabilisierung vorgesehen ist, wobei das Mittel zur Formstabilisie- rung während des Biegeformens oder nach dem Biegeformen der Medienleitung die Form an nimmt und durch Energietransfer beibehält. For example, the document DE 20 2011 109 257 U1 is known from the prior art. This describes an arrangement with at least one bent flexible media line, at least one means for shape stabilization being provided to prevent a bending shape entered into the flexible media line from being reshaped, the means for shape stabilization taking shape during the bending shaping or after the bending shaping of the media line and maintains through energy transfer.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Fluidleitung vorzuschlagen, welches gegenüber bekannten Verfahren Vorteile aufweist, insbesondere dem Herstellen einer gegenüber äußeren Einflüssen besonders geschützten Fluidleitung dient. It is an object of the invention to propose a method for producing a fluid line which has advantages over known methods, in particular serves to produce a fluid line which is particularly protected against external influences.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Fluidleitung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erreicht. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass auf den Grundkörper eine Scheuer schütz Schicht aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan durch Extrudieren aufgebracht wird. This is achieved according to the invention with a method for producing a fluid line with the features of claim 1. It is provided that an abrasion-resistant layer made of thermoplastic polyurethane is applied to the base body by extrusion.

Die Fluidleitung dient dem Transportieren eines Fluids, insbesondere eines flüssigen oder gas förmigen Fluids. Die Fluidleitung wird beispielsweise im Kraftfahrzeugbereich eingesetzt und kann entsprechend einen Bestandteil eines Kraftfahrzeugs darstellen. Vorzugsweise dient die Fluidleitung als Kraftstoffleitung und somit dem Zuführen eines Kraftstoffs zu einem Antriebs aggregat des Kraftfahrzeugs. Die Fluidleitung ist jedoch grundsätzlich universell anwendbar. Beispielsweise kann sie auch in Form einer Unterdruckleitung, insbesondere einer Bremsunter- druckleitung, einer BlowBy-Feitung, einer Hydraulikleitung, einer Kühlwasserleitung, einer Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsleitung oder einer Aktivkohlefilterregenerationsleitung vorliegen. The fluid line is used to transport a fluid, in particular a liquid or gaseous fluid. The fluid line is used, for example, in the motor vehicle sector and can accordingly represent a component of a motor vehicle. Preferably, the fluid line serves as a fuel line and thus the supply of fuel to a drive unit of the motor vehicle. However, the fluid line is basically universally applicable. For example, it can also be in the form of a vacuum line, in particular a brake vacuum line, a BlowBy line, a hydraulic line, a cooling water line, a crankcase ventilation line or an activated carbon filter regeneration line.

Die Fluidleitung weist den Grundkörper auf, der wiederum über die wenigstens eine Schicht verfügt. Der Grundkörper kann einschichtig ausgestaltet sein und insoweit lediglich eine einzige Schicht aufweisen. Alternativ ist der Grundkörper mehrschichtig und verfügt entsprechend über mehrere Schichten. Die Schicht beziehungsweise die Schichten bestehen aus Kunststoff. Liegen mehrere Schichten vor, so besteht wenigstens eine der Schichten aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise jedoch mehrere oder sogar alle. Der Kunststoff kann grundsätzlich beliebig gewählt werden. The fluid line has the base body, which in turn has the at least one layer. The base body can be configured in one layer and in this respect only one Have layer. Alternatively, the base body is multi-layered and accordingly has several layers. The layer or layers consist of plastic. If there are several layers, at least one of the layers consists of plastic, but preferably several or even all. The plastic can basically be chosen arbitrarily.

Häufig wird die Fluidleitung in einem Bauraum eingesetzt, in welchem es zu einem Berührkon takt der Fluidleitung mit einem anderen Bauteil kommen kann. Dies ist insbesondere der Fall, falls die Fluidleitung in einem Motorraum eines Kraftfahrzeugs eingesetzt wird. Der Bauraum in einem solchen Motorraum wird durch die zunehmende Komplexität der Aggregate in Kombina tion mit höheren Sicherheits- und Komfortforderungen immer enger. Dies betrifft vor allem Flu idleitungen, die oft auch im Zuge einer zunehmenden Variantenvielfalt der Kraftfahrzeuge um sich ändernde Bauteile herum angeordnet werden müssen. Die üblichen Konstruktionsrichtlinien für derartige Fluidleitungen, die einen allseitigen Mindestfreigang zu benachbarten Elementen aufgrund von Bauteil-, Kontur- und Einbautoleranzen und nicht zuletzt zum Ausgleich von Be wegungen des Kraftfahrzeugs sowie Verformungen aufgrund von Wärmedehnungen und/oder Dehnungen aufgrund von Innendrücken vorsehen, können teilweise nicht mehr eingehalten wer den. The fluid line is often used in a space in which there may be a contact of the fluid line with another component. This is particularly the case if the fluid line is used in an engine compartment of a motor vehicle. The installation space in such an engine compartment is becoming ever narrower due to the increasing complexity of the units in combination with higher safety and comfort requirements. This applies in particular to fluid lines, which often have to be arranged around changing components in the course of an increasing variety of motor vehicles. The usual design guidelines for such fluid lines, which provide all-round minimum clearance to neighboring elements due to component, contour and installation tolerances and last but not least to compensate for movements of the motor vehicle and deformations due to thermal expansion and / or expansion due to internal pressures, can not be partially more adhered to.

Dies führt dazu, dass mit Kontaktstellen der Fluidleitung zu einem oder mehreren Bauteilen ge rechnet werden muss. Somit liegt ein statischer oder dynamischer Kontakt der Fluidleitung mit dem Bauteil vor. Dieser darf jedoch über die Lebensdauer des Kraftahrzeugs hinweg nicht dazu führen, dass die Fluidleitung durch Abrieb oder andere Beschädigungen undicht wird oder sogar birst. Somit sind für die Fluidleitung konkrete Maßnahmen für einen Scheuerschutz zu treffen. Beispielsweise kann es hierbei vorgesehen sein, dass ein Scheuerschutzelement formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig an dem Grundkörper angeordnet wird. Dies ist jedoch aufwendig, weil einerseits das Scheuerschutzelement separat von der Fluidleitung hergestellt wird und zum ande ren nachfolgend an ihr angeordnet werden muss. This means that contact points of the fluid line to one or more components must be expected. Thus there is a static or dynamic contact of the fluid line with the component. However, this must not lead to the fluid line becoming leaky or even bursting due to abrasion or other damage over the life of the motor vehicle. Thus, concrete measures for abrasion protection are to be taken for the fluid line. For example, it can be provided that an abrasion protection element is arranged on the base body in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. However, this is expensive because, on the one hand, the abrasion protection element is manufactured separately from the fluid line and, on the other hand, must be subsequently arranged on it.

Aus diesem Grund ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht durch Extrudieren auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht wird. Das bedeutet, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht stoffschlüssig mit dem Grundkörper beziehungsweise der Außenschicht des Grundkörpers ver bunden wird. Als Extrudieren kann hierbei beispielsweise ein Aufextrudieren oder ein Coextru- dieren verwendet werden. Das Aufextrudieren der Scheuer schütz Schicht auf den Grundkörper erfolgt nach dem Ausbilden des Grundkörpers. Es wird also zunächst der Grundkörper herge stellt beziehungsweise ausgebildet, vorzugweise ebenfalls durch Extrudieren. Anschließend wird die Scheuer schütz Schicht auf den bereits ausgebildeten, insbesondere extrudierten, Grundkörper aufextrudiert. Die Scheuer schütz Schicht weist beispielsweise eine Schichtstärke von mindestens 0,1 mm bis höchstens 0,5 mm auf. Vorzugsweise beträgt sie mindestens 0,3 mm bis höchstens 0,5 mm. For this reason, it is provided according to the invention that the abrasion protection layer is applied to the base body by extrusion. This means that the abrasion protection layer is firmly bonded to the base body or the outer layer of the base body. For example, extrusion or coextrusion can be used as extrusion. The abrasion-resistant layer is extruded onto the base body after the base body has been formed. The base body is therefore first produced or formed, preferably also by extrusion. Then will the scouring protective layer is extruded onto the already formed, in particular extruded, base body. The abrasion-resistant layer has, for example, a layer thickness of at least 0.1 mm to at most 0.5 mm. It is preferably at least 0.3 mm to at most 0.5 mm.

Besonders bevorzugt wird die Scheuer schütz Schicht gleichzeitig mit dem Grundkörper ausgebil det und hierbei stoffschlüssig mit diesem verbunden. Hierzu kommt insbesondere das Coextru- dieren zum Einsatz, bei welchem sowohl der Grundkörper als auch die Scheuerschutzschicht gleichzeitig durch Extrudieren ausgebildet und aneinander befestigt werden. Das Extrudieren der Scheuer schütz Schicht erfolgt beispielsweise mithilfe eines Querkopfextruders, insbesondere ei nes dreizonigen Einschnecken-Extruders. Der Extruder verfügt vorzugsweise über ein Kompres sionsverhältnis von mindestens 2,5 und/oder ein L:D- Verhältnis von mindestens 20 bis höchs tens 40, insbesondere von mindestens 25 bis höchstens 30. Der Extruder ist vorzugsweise strö mungsgünstig gestaltet, um eine thermische Beschädigung des Materials, nämlich des Po lyurethans, in Totzonen zu vermeiden. Particularly preferably, the abrasion-resistant layer is formed simultaneously with the base body and is integrally connected to it. For this purpose, coextrusion is used in particular, in which both the base body and the abrasion protection layer are simultaneously formed by extrusion and attached to one another. The abrasion-resistant layer is extruded, for example, using a cross-head extruder, in particular a three-zone single-screw extruder. The extruder preferably has a compression ratio of at least 2.5 and / or an L: D ratio of at least 20 to at most 40, in particular from at least 25 to at most 30. The extruder is preferably designed to be streamlined to prevent thermal damage to avoid the material, namely the polyurethane, in dead zones.

Die Scheuer schütz Schicht besteht aus dem thermoplastischen Polyurethan. Das thermoplastische Polyurethan gehört zu Produktklasse der thermoplastischen Elastomeren (TPE). Es kann in ver netzter oder unvernetzter Form eingesetzt werden. Die Eigenschaften des Polyurethans können in einem weiten Rahmen anwendungsspezifisch variiert werden. Je nach Vemetzungsgrad und/oder eingesetzter Isocyanat- oder OH- Komponente erhält man ein Duroplast, ein Thermo plast, ein Elastomer oder ein thermoplastisches Elastomer. Das thermoplastische Polyurethan, welches auch als TPU oder TPE-U bezeichnet werden kann, ist ein thermoplastisches Elastomer, also ein Kunststoff, der sich bei Raumtemperatur vergleichbar den klassischen Elastomeren ver hält, sich jedoch unter Wärmezufuhr plastisch verformen lässt und somit ein thermoplastisches Verhalten zeigt. Dies ist insbesondere für die Verarbeitung von großer Bedeutung. The abrasion-resistant layer consists of the thermoplastic polyurethane. The thermoplastic polyurethane belongs to the product class of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). It can be used in cross-linked or non-cross-linked form. The properties of the polyurethane can be varied depending on the application. Depending on the degree of crosslinking and / or the isocyanate or OH component used, a thermoset, a thermoplastic, an elastomer or a thermoplastic elastomer is obtained. The thermoplastic polyurethane, which can also be referred to as TPU or TPE-U, is a thermoplastic elastomer, i.e. a plastic that is comparable to the classic elastomers at room temperature, but can be plastically deformed when heat is applied and thus exhibits thermoplastic behavior. This is particularly important for processing.

Das thermoplastische Polyurethan kann extrudiert, spritzgeformt oder auch blasgeformt werden. Es ist ein Blockpolymer, das bedeutet, dass die Hartsegmente und die Weichsegmente in einem Molekül scharf voneinander getrennt sind. Das thermoplastische Polyurethan kann auf gute Hyd rolyseeigenschaften, Mineralölbeständigkeit, Wärmeformbeständigkeit, Kälteflexibilität, UV- und/oder Ozonstabilität und/oder Festigkeit eingestellt werden. Der E-Modul des thermoplasti schen Polyurethans wird vorzugsweise derart eingestellt, dass er zwischen Elastomeren und Po lyamiden liegt. Die Härte wird bevorzugt in einem Bereich von 60 Shore (A) bis 95 Shore (A) eingestellt. Damit ist eine Thermoverformbarkeit der Fluidleitung mit geringem Rückstellverhal- ten erzielbar. Die Glasübergangstemperatur des Polyurethans liegt vorzugsweise zwischen -30 °C und -40 °C. Hierdurch wird eine ausreichende Kälteflexibilität der Fluidleitung erzielt. The thermoplastic polyurethane can be extruded, injection molded or blow molded. It is a block polymer, which means that the hard segments and the soft segments in a molecule are sharply separated. The thermoplastic polyurethane can be adjusted to good hydrolysis properties, mineral oil resistance, heat resistance, low temperature flexibility, UV and / or ozone stability and / or strength. The modulus of elasticity of the thermoplastic polyurethane is preferably set such that it lies between elastomers and polyamides. The hardness is preferably set in a range from 60 Shore (A) to 95 Shore (A). This means that the fluid line can be thermoformed with low reset behavior. ten achievable. The glass transition temperature of the polyurethane is preferably between -30 ° C and -40 ° C. Adequate cold flexibility of the fluid line is hereby achieved.

Das thermoplastische Polyurethan wirkt besonders bevorzugt schwingungsdämpfend, was sich positiv auf die Akustik der Fluidleitung während einer Durchströmung mit dem Fluid auswirkt. Das Polyurethan weist ebenso eine hohe Kälteschlagfestigkeit auf. Die Wärmeformbeständigkeit kann ebenso wie die Dauergebrauchstemperatur in einem weiten Bereich eingestellt werden. Die chemische Beständigkeit gegenüber im Automobilbereich verwendeten Medien sowie gegen Streusalz ist gut. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Abriebfestigkeit des thermoplastischen Po lyurethans durch Zugabe eines EVA-basierten Masterbatches weiter verbessert, wobei die Zudo- sierung besonders bevorzugt zwischen 1 % und 10 % liegt. Weiterhin kann es vorgesehen sein, einen Reibkoeffizient der Oberfläche des thermoplastischen Polyurethans durch wenigstens ein Additiv auf polymerer Basis zu senken. The thermoplastic polyurethane particularly preferably has a vibration-damping effect, which has a positive effect on the acoustics of the fluid line during a flow through the fluid. The polyurethane also has high cold impact resistance. The heat resistance as well as the continuous use temperature can be set within a wide range. The chemical resistance to media used in the automotive sector and to road salt is good. The abrasion resistance of the thermoplastic polyurethane is particularly preferably further improved by adding an EVA-based masterbatch, the metering being particularly preferably between 1% and 10%. Furthermore, it can be provided to reduce a coefficient of friction of the surface of the thermoplastic polyurethane by means of at least one polymer-based additive.

Die Abriebfestigkeit der Fluidleitung kann weiterhin durch das Ausbilden einer Oberflächen struktur auf der Scheuerschutzschicht verbessert werden. Hierzu werden beispielsweise während des Extrudierens beziehungsweise durch das Extrudieren auf der Scheuerschutzschicht Längs streifen ausgebildet, die sich bezüglich einer Längsmittelachse der Fluidleitung in axialer Rich tung erstrecken, insbesondere durchgehend erstrecken. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können auf der Scheuer schütz Schicht Querstreifen oder eine Kreuzstruktur aus Längsstreifen und Querstreifen ausgebildet werden. Bevorzugt ist es vorgesehen, dass bei dem Extrudieren das thermoplastische Polyurethan in Form eines Granulats zugeführt wird. Zur Verbesserung der Extrudierbarkeit kann dem Granulat ein Gleitmittel beigemengt sein. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das thermoplastische Polyurethan vor dem Aufbringen zu färben. Hierzu wird beispielsweise das Granulat gefärbt beziehungsweise dem Granulat ein Farbbatch beigemengt. The abrasion resistance of the fluid line can be further improved by forming a surface structure on the abrasion protection layer. For this purpose, longitudinal strips are formed, for example, during extrusion or by extrusion on the abrasion protection layer, which extend with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the fluid line in the axial direction, in particular extend continuously. Additionally or alternatively, transverse stripes or a cross structure of longitudinal stripes and transverse stripes can be formed on the abrasion-resistant layer. It is preferably provided that the thermoplastic polyurethane is supplied in the form of a granulate during extrusion. A lubricant can be added to the granulate to improve the extrudability. Of course, it is also possible to color the thermoplastic polyurethane before application. For this purpose, the granulate is colored, for example, or a color batch is added to the granulate.

Zur zusätzlichen Erhöhung der Sicherheit kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Scheuerschutz schicht mit einer Flammschutzschicht versehen wird. Die Flammschutz Schicht liegt hierbei vor zugweise auf der dem Grundkörper abgewandten Seite der Scheuerschutzschicht vor, sodass die Flammschutz Schicht insoweit eine Außenschicht der Fluidleitung darstellt. Zusätzlich oder alter nativ kann es vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen sein, zwischen dem Grundkörper und der Scheuer schutzschicht eine Metallschicht anzuordnen, und/oder die Fluidleitung mit wenigstens einem Heizleiter zu versehen. Die Metallschicht dient beispielsweise zur Erhöhung einer Flammenbe ständigkeit der Fluidleitung. Die Metallschicht weist beispielsweise ein Metallgeflecht oder eine Metallfolie auf, die zwischen dem Grundkörper und der Scheuerschutzschicht angeordnet ist. Die Metallschicht kann vor dem Extrudieren oder während des Extrudierens auf den Grundkör- per aufgebracht werden. Nach dem Extrudieren ist die Metallschicht von der Scheuerschutz schicht zuverlässig an dem Grundkörper gehalten. To further increase safety, it can be provided that the abrasion protection layer is provided with a flame protection layer. The flame protection layer is preferably present on the side of the abrasion protection layer facing away from the base body, so that the flame protection layer represents an outer layer of the fluid line. Additionally or alternatively, it can advantageously be provided to arrange a metal layer between the base body and the abrasion protection layer, and / or to provide the fluid line with at least one heating conductor. The metal layer serves, for example, to increase the flame resistance of the fluid line. The metal layer has, for example, a metal braid or a metal foil which is arranged between the base body and the abrasion protection layer. The metal layer can be applied to the base body before extrusion or during extrusion. After extrusion, the metal layer is reliably held on the base body by the abrasion protection layer.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Heizleiter an beziehungsweise in der Fluidleitung vorliegen. Beispielsweise ist der Heizleiter in dem Grundkörper eingebettet oder liegt zwischen dem Grundkörper und der Scheuer schütz Schicht vor. Der Heizleiter dient einem Beheizen der Fluid leitung mit elektrischer Energie. Insoweit ist in die Fluidleitung eine elektrische Heizung inte griert. Beispielweise kann mit einer solchen ein Erstarren des Fluids in der Fluidleitung unter bunden werden beziehungsweise ein erstarrtes Fluid wieder aufgetaut werden. Während es selbstverständlich vorgesehen sein kann, dass der Heizleiter nach dem Ausbilden der Fluidlei tung an dieser befestigt werden kann, ist dies jedoch aufgrund der dazu notwendigen manuellen Arbeit aufwendig und kostenträchtig. Aus diesem Grund wird der Heizleiter bevorzugt bei dem Extrudieren der Scheuerschutzschicht auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht. Beispielsweise wird der Heizleiter wendelförmlich in einer Schraubenlinie zugeführt. Die schraubenförmige Gestalt si chert eine gute Biegbarkeit der Fluidleitung auch nach einem Ablängen und dem Aufextrudieren der Scheuerschutzschicht. Additionally or alternatively, the heating conductor can be present on or in the fluid line. For example, the heating conductor is embedded in the base body or is present between the base body and the abrasion-resistant layer. The heating conductor is used to heat the fluid line with electrical energy. To this extent, an electrical heater is integrated in the fluid line. For example, such a solidification of the fluid in the fluid line can be prevented or a solidified fluid can be thawed again. While it can of course be provided that the heating conductor can be attached to the device after the formation of the fluid line, this is complex and costly due to the manual work required for this. For this reason, the heating conductor is preferably applied to the base body when the abrasion protection layer is extruded. For example, the heating conductor is fed helically in a helical line. The helical shape ensures good flexibility of the fluid line even after cutting and extruding the abrasion protection layer.

Es ist ebenso möglich, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht mehrerer Teilschichten aufweist und der Heizleiter zwischen zweien dieser Teilschichten angeordnet beziehungsweise eingebettet wird. Nicht zuletzt in diesem Fall ist es möglich, einen unisolierten Heizleiter zu verwenden, weil das thermoplastische Polyurethan eine hinreichend gute elektrische Isolationswirkung aufweist. Bei spielsweise können mehrere Heizleiter, insbesondere unisolierte Heizleiter, beabstandet vonei nander, insbesondere parallel beabstandet voneinander, verwendet werden. Es ist auch möglich, den Heizleiter in die Metallschicht zu integrieren, um eine verbesserte Wärmeverteilung zu reali sieren. Beispielsweise wird hierbei der wenigstens eine Heizleiter in das Metallgeflecht eingebet tet, das auf den Grundkörper aufgesetzt wird. Anschließend wird die Scheuerschutzschicht auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht, welche insoweit die Metallschicht und den Heizleiter umschließt. It is also possible for the abrasion protection layer to have a plurality of sublayers and for the heating conductor to be arranged or embedded between two of these sublayers. Last but not least, it is possible to use an uninsulated heating conductor because the thermoplastic polyurethane has a sufficiently good electrical insulation effect. For example, several heating conductors, in particular uninsulated heating conductors, spaced apart from one another, in particular spaced apart in parallel, can be used. It is also possible to integrate the heating conductor in the metal layer in order to achieve an improved heat distribution. For example, the at least one heating conductor is embedded in the metal mesh, which is placed on the base body. Then the abrasion protection layer is applied to the base body, which so far encloses the metal layer and the heating conductor.

Mithilfe des Metallgeflechts kann eine sichere Abstandsführung von mehreren Heizleitern erzielt werden. Beispielsweise weist hierzu das Geflecht Poren mit einer bestimmten Porenweite auf. Die Poren erlauben eine lokale Haftung zwischen dem thermoplastischen Polyurethan und dem Grundrohr. Anstelle des Metallgeflechts kann auch ein Textilgeflecht verwendet werden, wel ches vorzugweise elektrisch isolierend ist. In diesem Fall kann der wenigstens eine Heizleiter wiederum unisoliert verwendet werden. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der wenigstens eine Heizleiter aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Textilfaden besteht. Es kann zudem vorgesehen sein, an Ablängstellen der Fluidleitung ein Abmantelungshilfsmaterial zu verwenden. Es ist weiter denkbar, an den Ablängstellen eine Anschlussstelle des Heizleiters vorzusehen, insbesondere indem der Heizleiter in einer Schleife verlegt wird, sodass ein überschüssiger Bereich des Heiz leiters zur Herstellung einer Kontaktstelle zur Verfügung steht. Anstelle des Heizleiters kann grundsätzlich auch ein beliebiger elektrischer Leiter verwendet werden. Ein solcher kann bei spielsweise der Sensierung einer Anbindung der Fluidleitung an weitere Einrichtungen und/oder einer Undichtheit dienen. With the help of the metal braid, a safe spacing of several heating conductors can be achieved. For this purpose, for example, the mesh has pores with a specific pore size. The pores allow local adhesion between the thermoplastic polyurethane and the base pipe. Instead of the metal braid, a textile braid can also be used, which is preferably electrically insulating. In this case, the at least one heating conductor can in turn be used without insulation. It can also be provided that the at least one Heating conductor consists of an electrically conductive textile thread. Provision can also be made to use a stripping auxiliary material at cut-off points of the fluid line. It is also conceivable to provide a connection point of the heating conductor at the cut-off points, in particular by laying the heating conductor in a loop, so that an excess area of the heating conductor is available for producing a contact point. In principle, any electrical conductor can be used instead of the heating conductor. Such can serve, for example, to sense a connection of the fluid line to other devices and / or a leak.

Das für die Scheuerschutzschicht verwendete thermoplastische Polyurethan weist beispielsweise eine Dichte von mindestens 1,15 g/cm bis höchstens 1,6 g/cm , insbesondere von mindestens 1,20 g/cm bis höchstens 1,30 g/cm , auf. Zusätzlich oder alternativ weist das Polyurethan eine Härte nach Shore A von mindestens 85 bis höchstens 98 auf. Zusätzlich oder alternativ ist eine Zugfestigkeit von mindestens 26 bis höchstens 40 MPa vorgesehen. Der Abrieb beträgt beson- ders bevorzugt mindestens 35 mm bis 90 mm . Als Polyurethan kann beispielsweise Elasto- llan® verwendet werden, das in unterschiedlichen Typen von BASF vertrieben wird. The thermoplastic polyurethane used for the abrasion protection layer has, for example, a density of at least 1.15 g / cm to at most 1.6 g / cm, in particular from at least 1.20 g / cm to at most 1.30 g / cm. Additionally or alternatively, the polyurethane has a Shore A hardness of at least 85 to at most 98. Additionally or alternatively, a tensile strength of at least 26 to a maximum of 40 MPa is provided. The abrasion is particularly preferably at least 35 mm to 90 mm. Elastollan®, for example, which is sold in different types by BASF, can be used as the polyurethane.

Das beschriebene Verfahren zum Herstellen der Fluidleitung führt zu einer integrierten Ausge staltung des Grundkörpers mit der Scheuerschutzschicht, durch welche eine besonders hohe Ab riebfestigkeit der Fluidleitung erzielt wird. The described method for producing the fluid line leads to an integrated configuration of the base body with the abrasion protection layer, through which a particularly high abrasion resistance of the fluid line is achieved.

Beispielsweise weist der Grundkörper eine erste Schicht aus einem Fluorpolymer, eine unmittel bar auf die erste Schicht folgende zweite Schicht aus einem Polyamid und eine unmittelbar auf die zweite Schicht folgende dritte Schicht auf. Die genannten Schichten folgen jeweils unmittel bar aufeinander, sodass also die zweite Schicht unmittelbar an der ersten Schicht und die dritte Schicht unmittelbar an der zweiten Schicht anliegt. In anderen Worten ist die zweite Schicht zwischen der ersten Schicht und der dritten Schicht angeordnet und liegt einerseits an der ersten Schicht und andererseits an der dritten Schicht an. Vorzugweise ist die erste Schicht und/oder die zweite Schicht und/oder die dritte Schicht jeweils für sich genommen materialeinheitlich ausge staltet, sodass die jeweilige Schicht vollständig und durchgehend aus dem jeweils bezeichneten Material besteht. For example, the base body has a first layer made of a fluoropolymer, a second layer made of a polyamide immediately following the first layer and a third layer immediately following the second layer. The layers mentioned follow each other directly in cash, so that the second layer lies directly on the first layer and the third layer lies directly on the second layer. In other words, the second layer is arranged between the first layer and the third layer and bears on the one hand on the first layer and on the other hand on the third layer. The first layer and / or the second layer and / or the third layer are each individually designed to be of the same material, so that the respective layer consists entirely and consistently of the material designated in each case.

Die erste Schicht der Fluidleitung kann zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise jedoch vollständig, aus dem Fluorpolymer bestehen. Unter dem Fluorpolymer ist ein fluoriertes Polymer zu verste hen. Es zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Beständigkeit gegenüber Chemikalien und hohen Tempe- raturen, in anderen Worten also durch eine hohe Chemikalienbeständigkeit und/oder über hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit aus. Das Fluorpolymer kann grundsätzlich beliebig ausgestaltet sein. Beispielsweise liegt es in Form von Ethylen-Tetrafluorethylen-Copolymer (ETFE), Polytetraflu orethylen (PTFE), Tetrafluorethylen-Hexafluorpropylen-Copolymer (FEP), Polychlortrifluo- rethylen (PCTFE) oder Ethylen-Tetrafluorethylen-Hexafluorpropylen (EFEP) vor. Es sei jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass die erste Schicht auch aus einem anderen Material bestehen kann. The first layer of the fluid line can consist at least partially, but preferably completely, of the fluoropolymer. A fluorinated polymer is understood to mean a fluorinated polymer. It is characterized by high resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. temperature, in other words by high chemical resistance and / or high temperature resistance. The fluoropolymer can in principle be of any design. For example, it is in the form of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) or ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene (EFEP). However, it should be noted that the first layer can also consist of a different material.

Die zweite Schicht besteht aus Polyamid, beispielsweise aus PA6, PA612, PA6/66, PA616 oder einem teilaromatischen Polyamid. Unter dem teilaromatischen Polyamid ist ein teilweise kristal lines aromatisches Polyamid zu verstehen, welches auch als Polyphthalamid (PPA) bezeichnet werden kann. Das Polyamid kann zur Verbesserung seiner mechanischen Festigkeit verstärkt sein und hierzu einen Zusatzstoff oder eine Faserverstärkung aufweisen. Als Zusatzstoff kommt beispielsweise gemahlenes Glas beziehungsweise gemahlenes Siliziumdioxid zum Einsatz. Die Faserverstärkung liegt beispielsweise in Form einer Glasfaserverstärkung, einer Kohlenstofffa serverstärkung oder einer Aremidfaserverstärkung vor. Die zweite Schicht beziehungsweise das Polyamid kann jedoch auch verstärkungsfrei ausgestaltet sein. The second layer consists of polyamide, for example PA6, PA612, PA6 / 66, PA616 or a partially aromatic polyamide. The partially aromatic polyamide is to be understood as a partially crystalline aromatic polyamide, which can also be referred to as polyphthalamide (PPA). The polyamide can be reinforced to improve its mechanical strength and, for this purpose, have an additive or a fiber reinforcement. For example, ground glass or ground silicon dioxide is used as an additive. The fiber reinforcement is in the form of a glass fiber reinforcement, a carbon fiber reinforcement or an aremid fiber reinforcement, for example. However, the second layer or the polyamide can also be designed without reinforcement.

Die dritte Schicht besteht beispielsweise wiederum aus einem Polyamid, insbesondere einem aliphatischen Polyamid, oder aus Ethylen-Vinylalkohol-Copolymer (auch als EVOH oder EVAL bezeichnet). Das Polyamid ist beispielsweise wiederum PA6, PA66, PA612, PA6/66, PA616 oder PPA. Unter dem Ethylen-Vinylalkohol-Copolymer ist ein Copolymer zu verstehen, das formal aus den Monomeren Ethylen und Vinylalkohol aufgebaut ist. Das Ethylen-Vinylalkohol- Copolymer ist ein preiswerter Sperrschichtwerkstoff mit guter Sperrwirkung gegenüber flüchti gen organischen Verbindungen. Das aliphatische Polyamid weist ein Monomer auf, das sich von aliphatischen Grundkörpern ableitet, beispielsweise aus einem Lactam, insbesondere einem Epsi lon-Caprolactam, oder aus Hexamethylendiamin und Adipinsäure. The third layer consists, for example, of a polyamide, in particular an aliphatic polyamide, or of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (also referred to as EVOH or EVAL). The polyamide is again, for example, PA6, PA66, PA612, PA6 / 66, PA616 or PPA. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is to be understood as a copolymer which is formally composed of the monomers ethylene and vinyl alcohol. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is an inexpensive barrier material with a good barrier effect against volatile organic compounds. The aliphatic polyamide has a monomer which is derived from aliphatic base bodies, for example from a lactam, in particular an epsilon caprolactam, or from hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Grundkörper ausschließlich aus den drei genannten Schichten besteht, sodass die erste Schicht als Innenschicht und die dritte Schicht als Außenschicht vor liegt. In diesem Fall dient also die erste Schicht der Führung eines Fluids in der Fluidleitung, wobei die hervorragende Beständigkeit des Fluorpolymers genutzt wird. Die beschriebene Fluid leitung, bestehend aus den drei Schichten, weist hervorragende Festigkeitseigenschaften, sowie eine hohe Beständigkeit auf. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, zusätzlich zu den bereits ge nannten drei Schichten wenigstens eine weitere Schicht der Fluidleitung zuzuschlagen. Bevor zugt stellt jedoch die erste Schicht stets die Innenschicht dar. An die erste Schicht schließen sich stets die zweite Schicht und die dritte Schicht an, wobei die zweite Schicht unmittelbar an die erste Schicht und die dritte Schicht unmittelbar an die zweite Schicht angrenzt. It can be provided that the base body consists exclusively of the three layers mentioned, so that the first layer is present as an inner layer and the third layer as an outer layer. In this case, the first layer is used to guide a fluid in the fluid line, making use of the excellent resistance of the fluoropolymer. The fluid line described, consisting of the three layers, has excellent strength properties and high resistance. However, it can also be provided to slam at least one additional layer of the fluid line in addition to the three layers already mentioned. However, the first layer always represents the inner layer. The first layer follows always on the second layer and the third layer, the second layer directly adjacent to the first layer and the third layer directly adjacent to the second layer.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht auf eine Au ßenschicht des Grundkörpers aufgebracht wird, die aus Polyamid, Polypropylen oder Polyphtha- lamid besteht. Beispielsweise besteht der Grundkörper insgesamt aus einem dieser Materialien oder weist eines dieser Materialien zumindest auf. Ist der Grundkörper mehrschichtig aufgebaut, so bildet die zuäußerst liegende der Schichten die Außenschicht. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Fluidleitung ist besonders widerstandsfähig gegenüber äußeren Einflüssen. A further embodiment of the invention provides that the abrasion protection layer is applied to an outer layer of the base body, which consists of polyamide, polypropylene or polyphthalamide. For example, the base body consists entirely of one of these materials or at least has one of these materials. If the base body has a multilayer structure, the outermost layer forms the outer layer. Such a configuration of the fluid line is particularly resistant to external influences.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Grundkörper vor und/oder bei dem Extrudieren und/oder die Fluidleitung nach dem Aufbringen gekühlt wird. Das Kühlen des Grundkörpers stellt sicher, dass während des Extrudierens der Scheuerschutzschicht eine For mänderung des Grundkörpers weitestgehend oder sogar vollständig vermieden wird. Hierdurch ist eine besonders hohe Formtreue der Fluidleitung erzielbar. Another embodiment of the invention provides that the base body is cooled before and / or during extrusion and / or the fluid line after application. The cooling of the base body ensures that a change in the shape of the base body is largely or even completely avoided during the extrusion of the abrasion protection layer. This enables a particularly high degree of dimensional accuracy of the fluid line to be achieved.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass bei dem Extrudieren das thermoplastische Po lyurethan abwechselnd mit einem anderen Stoff auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht wird. Das Abwechseln zwischen dem Polyurethan und dem anderen Stoff erfolgt vorzugsweise in Längs richtung der Fluidleitung, also in axialer Richtung bezüglich einer Längsmittelachse der Fluidlei tung. Der andere Stoff ist beispielsweise derart gewählt, dass er leichter von dem Grundkörper ablösbar ist als das Polyurethan. Insbesondere wird als anderer Stoff ein gummihaltiger Stoff verwendet. Dieser kann dieselbe Farbe aufweisen wie das Polyurethan oder eine andere Farbe. Der andere Stoff kann derart gewählt sein, dass er abwaschbar ist oder durch mechanische, ther mische oder chemische Behandlung von dem Grundkörper lösbar ist. Durch das Abwechseln der Aufbringung des Polyurethans und des anderen Stoffs werden ein Abmanteln der Fluidleitung und damit eine Installation der Fluidleitung deutlich vereinfacht. A further development of the invention provides that during the extrusion, the thermoplastic polyurethane is alternately applied to the base body with another substance. The alternation between the polyurethane and the other substance is preferably carried out in the longitudinal direction of the fluid line, ie in the axial direction with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the fluid line. The other material is selected, for example, in such a way that it is easier to remove from the base body than the polyurethane. In particular, a rubber-containing substance is used as another substance. This can have the same color as the polyurethane or a different color. The other substance can be chosen such that it is washable or can be detached from the base body by mechanical, thermal or chemical treatment. By alternating the application of the polyurethane and the other substance, stripping the fluid line and thus installing the fluid line are significantly simplified.

Eine bevorzugte weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass zwischen dem thermo plastischen Polyurethan und den Grundkörper ein Haftvermittler aufgebracht wird, insbesondere lediglich bereichsweise. Der Haftvermittler dient einer besseren Anhaftung des Polyurethans an dem Grundkörper. Der Haftvermittler kann bereichsweise entfallen, sodass an der Fluidleitung abwechselnd Bereiche mit Haftvermittler und ohne Haftvermittler vorliegen. Diese Bereiche wechseln sich vorzugsweise wiederum in axialer Richtung bezüglich der Längsmittelachse der Fluidleitung ab. Hierdurch wird wiederum ein einfaches Abmanteln der Fluidleitung realisiert. Eine bevorzugte weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Fluidleitung nach dem Aufbringen der Scheuer schütz Schicht einer thermischen Nachbehandlung unterzogen wird, und/oder dass dem thermoplastischen Polyurethan vor dem Aufbringen ein Vemetzungsbe- schleuniger beigemengt wird. Nach dem Ausbilden der Scheuerschutzschicht auf den Grundkör- per wird sich über der Zeit eine Nachverletzung des Polyurethans ergeben. Hierbei nehmen die Härte, die Reißfestigkeit und die Verschleißfestigkeit weiter zu. Eine eventuelle Restklebenei- gung nimmt hingegen ab. Diese Nachvemetzung ist ein zeitlicher Prozess, der auch unter norma len Lagerbedingungen stattfindet, mit höheren Temperaturen jedoch beschleunigt werden kann. A preferred further embodiment of the invention provides that an adhesion promoter is applied between the thermoplastic polyurethane and the base body, in particular only in some areas. The adhesion promoter serves for better adhesion of the polyurethane to the base body. The adhesion promoter can be omitted in some areas, so that there are alternating areas with adhesion promoter and without adhesion promoter on the fluid line. These areas preferably alternate in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the fluid line. In this way, a simple stripping of the fluid line is again realized. A preferred further embodiment of the invention provides that the fluid line is subjected to a thermal aftertreatment after the abrasion-resistant layer has been applied, and / or that a crosslinking accelerator is added to the thermoplastic polyurethane before the application. After the abrasion protection layer has been formed on the base body, there will be a subsequent injury to the polyurethane over time. Here the hardness, tear resistance and wear resistance increase further. However, any residual adhesive tendency decreases. This rewetting is a temporal process that also takes place under normal storage conditions, but can be accelerated with higher temperatures.

Aus diesem Grund wird die Fluidleitung der thermischen Nachbehandlung unterzogen, insbe sondere zeitnah nach der Extrusion. Im Rahmen der thermischen Nachbehandlung wird die Flu idleitung beispielsweise auf mindestens 100 °C bis höchstens 180 °C, vorzugsweise mindestens 150 °C bis höchstens 170 °C erwärmt. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann dem Polyurethan der Ver netzungsbeschleuniger beigemengt werden, der die beschriebene Nachvernetzung beschleunigt. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Fluidleitung einer Behandlung mit UV-Strahlung unterzogen werden. Im Rahmen der Nachvemetzung kann ein Schrumpfen der Scheuer schütz Schicht auftre- ten, die die mechanische Anbindung an den Grundkörper weiter verbessert. For this reason, the fluid line is subjected to the thermal aftertreatment, especially shortly after the extrusion. As part of the thermal aftertreatment, the fluid line is heated, for example, to at least 100 ° C. to at most 180 ° C., preferably to at least 150 ° C. to at most 170 ° C. Additionally or alternatively, the crosslinking accelerator which accelerates the postcrosslinking described can be added to the polyurethane. Additionally or alternatively, the fluid line can be subjected to a treatment with UV radiation. As part of the rewetting, the abrasion-resistant layer may shrink, which further improves the mechanical connection to the base body.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht aus meh reren Teilschichten ausgebildet wird, wobei die Teilschichten aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Hierauf wurde vorstehend bereits hingewiesen. Vorzugsweise bestehen die Teilschich ten jeweils aus Polyurethan, insbesondere aus unterschiedlichen Polyurethanen. Hierdurch kann insbesondere das Einbringen des Heizleiters und/oder der Metallschicht vereinfacht werden. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the abrasion protection layer is formed from a plurality of sub-layers, the sub-layers consisting of different materials. This has already been pointed out above. The partial layers preferably each consist of polyurethane, in particular of different polyurethanes. This can in particular simplify the introduction of the heating conductor and / or the metal layer.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Scheuerschutzschicht wenigstens bereichs weise mit Lufteinschlüssen ausgebildet wird. Mithilfe der Lufteinschlüsse wird eine Wärmeleit fähigkeit der Scheuerschutzschicht reduziert, sodass insgesamt eine gute thermische Isolation der Fluidleitung erzielt wird. Die Lufteinschlüsse werden beispielsweise ausgebildet, falls die Fluid leitung als Kühlmittelleitung oder als Kraftstoffleitung ausgebildet ist. Das thermoplastische Po lyurethan weist bevorzugt von sich aus bereits eine recht geringe thermische Leitfähigkeit im Bereich von höchstens 0,19 W/(mK) bis höchstens 0,25 W/(mK) auf. Diese Leitfähigkeit wird durch die Lufteinschlüsse weiter verringert. Beispielsweise sind die Lufteinschlüsse stochastisch in dem Polyurethan verteilt. Dies kann beispielsweise durch ein Aufschäumen des Polyurethans erzielt werden. Das Aufschäumen erfolgt vorzugsweise bei dem Extrudieren der Scheuerschutz schicht. Es kann im Rahmen einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass der Grundkörper vor dem Aufbringen mit einer Oberflächenstruktur versehen wird. Die Oberflä chenstruktur ist beispielsweise eine Wellstruktur, sodass der Grundkörper als gewählte Fluidlei tung vorliegt. Die wellenartige Struktur des Grundkörpers liegt dabei in axialer Richtung bezüg lich der Längsmittelachse der Fluidleitung vor, sodass sich also in axialer Richtung Bereiche mit größerem Durchmesser mit Bereichen mit kleinerem Durchmesser abwechseln. Auch andere Oberflächenstrukturen können selbstverständlich realisiert sein. Durch das Ausbilden der Ober flächenstruktur wird zum einen das Anhaften der Scheuerschutzschicht an dem Grundkörper verbessert. Zum anderen kann die Fluidleitung mit verbesserten Biegeeigenschaften versehen werden. A further development of the invention provides that the abrasion protection layer is at least partially formed with air pockets. The air inclusions reduce the thermal conductivity of the abrasion protection layer, so that overall good thermal insulation of the fluid line is achieved. The air pockets are formed, for example, if the fluid line is designed as a coolant line or as a fuel line. The thermoplastic polyurethane preferably already has a very low thermal conductivity in the range of at most 0.19 W / (mK) to at most 0.25 W / (mK). This conductivity is further reduced by the air pockets. For example, the air pockets are distributed stochastically in the polyurethane. This can be achieved, for example, by foaming the polyurethane. The foaming is preferably carried out during the extrusion of the abrasion protection layer. It can be provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the base body is provided with a surface structure before application. The surface structure is, for example, a corrugated structure, so that the base body is present as the selected fluid line. The wave-like structure of the base body is in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the fluid line, so that areas with a larger diameter alternate with areas with a smaller diameter in the axial direction. Other surface structures can of course also be realized. The formation of the surface structure improves the adherence of the abrasion protection layer to the base body. On the other hand, the fluid line can be provided with improved bending properties.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass zwischen dem Grundkörper und der Scheuer schütz Schicht und/oder in der Scheuerschutzschicht eine Zusatzschicht angeordnet wird, insbesondere bei dem Extrudieren. Die Zusatzschicht dient beispielsweise der Verbesserung des Scheuerschutzes und/oder der Flammenbeständigkeit. Zusätzlich kann mithilfe der Zusatzschicht eine Wärmeleitfähigkeit der Fluidleitung verbessert und/oder ein elektrischer Widerstand verrin gert werden. Beispielsweise sorgt die Zusatzschicht für eine gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung bei einem Heizen der Fluidleitung mittels einer Heizeinrichtung, insbesondere eines Heizleiters, vor allem, falls die Zusatzschicht in Form einer Metallschicht vorliegt. Der Heizleiter kann in die Zusatzschicht integriert oder wärmeleitend mit ihr verbunden sein, insbesondere mit ihr in Be rührkontakt stehen. Die Zusatzschicht wird vorzugsweise während des Extrudierens der Scheuer schutzschicht aufgebracht. Beispielsweise wird sie bei dem Extrudieren auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht und mit der Scheuerschutzschicht durch das Extrudieren ummantelt. Die Scheuer schutzschicht deckt insoweit die Zusatzschicht vorzugsweise vollständig ab. A further embodiment of the invention provides that an additional layer is arranged between the base body and the abrasion protection layer and / or in the abrasion protection layer, in particular during extrusion. The additional layer serves, for example, to improve abrasion protection and / or flame resistance. In addition, a thermal conductivity of the fluid line can be improved and / or an electrical resistance can be reduced using the additional layer. For example, the additional layer ensures a uniform temperature distribution when the fluid line is heated by means of a heating device, in particular a heating conductor, especially if the additional layer is in the form of a metal layer. The heat conductor can be integrated into the additional layer or connected to it in a heat-conducting manner, in particular be in contact with it. The additional layer is preferably applied during the extrusion of the abrasion protective layer. For example, it is applied to the base body during the extrusion and coated with the abrasion protection layer by the extrusion. To this extent, the abrasion protection layer preferably completely covers the additional layer.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Zusatzschicht in die Scheuerschutzschicht integriert wird. Hierbei wird bei dem Extrudieren die Scheuerschutzschicht derart ausgebildet und die Zu satzschicht derart angeordnet, dass die Zusatzschicht nachfolgend durch die Scheuerschutz schicht von dem Grundkörper beabstandet gehalten und von ihr abgedeckt ist. Die Zusatzschicht besteht beispielsweise aus wenigstens einem der nachfolgend genannten Metalle oder weist die ses zumindest auf: Aluminium, Kupfer, Eisen, Stahl und Zinn. Insoweit kann die Zusatzschicht auch als Metallschicht bezeichnet werden. Vorzugsweise besteht die Zusatzschicht aus lediglich einem einzigen der genannten Metalle oder weist dieses auf. Sie kann jedoch auch mehrere der Metalle aufweisen oder aus ihnen bestehen. Die Zusatzschicht kann ausschließlich aus dem Me- tall bestehen. Zusätzlich oder alternativ zu dem Metall kann die Zusatzschicht jedoch auch ein anderes Material enthalten oder aus diesem bestehen, wobei als anderes Material beispielsweise ein Kunststoff oder dergleichen verwendet wird. Das andere Material kann ein textiles Material sein, also insbesondere aus wenigstens einer Naturfaser und/oder wenigstens einer Chemiefaser bestehen. It can also be provided that the additional layer is integrated into the abrasion protection layer. In this case, the abrasion protection layer is formed during the extrusion and the additional layer is arranged in such a way that the additional layer is subsequently held at a distance from the base body by the abrasion protection layer and is covered by it. The additional layer consists, for example, of at least one of the metals mentioned below or at least has this: aluminum, copper, iron, steel and tin. In this respect, the additional layer can also be referred to as a metal layer. The additional layer preferably consists of only one of the metals mentioned or has this. However, it can also have or consist of several of the metals. The additional layer can only be made from the tall exist. In addition or as an alternative to the metal, however, the additional layer can also contain or consist of another material, a plastic or the like being used as the other material. The other material can be a textile material, that is to say in particular it can consist of at least one natural fiber and / or at least one chemical fiber.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass als Zusatzschicht eine Folie oder ein Flächen gebilde, insbesondere ein Gewebe, Gewirke, Gestrick oder Geflecht, verwendet wird. Die Zu satzschicht kann auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise vorteilhaft ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise liegt sie in Form einer Folie vor, ist also durchgehend ausgestaltet. Hierdurch werden eine be sonders gute Wärmeleitfähigkeit und ein besonders geringer elektrischer Widerstand der Fluid leitung erzielt. Die Folie führt jedoch zu einer vergleichsweise steifen Fluidleitung. Es kann da her vorgesehen sein, anstelle der Folie das Flächengebilde beziehungsweise textile Flächengebil de zu verwenden, welches aus Metall und/oder dem anderen Material besteht oder dieses zumin dest aufweist. Hinsichtlich des Materials der Zusatzschicht wird auf die weiteren Ausführungen im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung verwiesen. A further development of the invention provides that a film or a flat structure, in particular a woven fabric, knitted fabric, knitted fabric or braid, is used as the additional layer. The additive layer can advantageously be designed in different ways. For example, it is in the form of a film and is therefore designed to be continuous. This results in a particularly good thermal conductivity and a particularly low electrical resistance of the fluid line. However, the film leads to a comparatively rigid fluid line. It can be provided here that instead of the film, the flat structure or textile flat structure is used which consists of metal and / or the other material or at least has this. With regard to the material of the additional layer, reference is made to the further statements in the context of this description.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin eine Fluidleitung, insbesondere hergestellt gemäß dem Verfah ren gemäß den Ausführungen im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung, die einen Grundkörper mit we nigstens einer aus Grundstoff bestehenden Schicht aufweist. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass auf den Grundkörper eine Scheuer schütz Schicht aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan durch Extrudieren aufgebracht ist. The invention further relates to a fluid line, in particular manufactured in accordance with the process according to the statements in the context of this description, which has a base body with at least one layer consisting of base material. It is provided that an abrasion-resistant layer of thermoplastic polyurethane is applied to the base body by extrusion.

Auf die Vorteile einer derartigen Ausgestaltung der Fluidleitung beziehungsweise eine derarti gen Vorgehensweise wurde bereits hingewiesen. Sowohl die Fluidleitung als auch das Verfahren zu ihrem Herstellen können gemäß den Ausführungen im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung weiter gebildet sein, sodass insoweit auf diese verwiesen wird. The advantages of such a configuration of the fluid line or such a procedure have already been pointed out. Both the fluid line and the method for producing it can be further developed in accordance with the statements in the context of this description, so that reference is made to this extent.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispie le näher erläutert, ohne dass eine Beschränkung der Erfindung erfolgt. Dabei zeigt: The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing, without the invention being restricted. It shows:

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Fluidleitung 1, die aus einem Mehr schichtverbund 2 besteht. Der Mehrschichtverbund 2 umgreift zur Ausbildung eines Fluidströ mungsraums 3 der Fluidleitung 1 eine Längsmittelachse 4 der Fluidleitung 1 in Umfang srichtung vollständig. Im Querschnitt gesehen besteht der Mehrschichtverbund 2 aus einer ersten SchichtFigure 1 shows a schematic representation of a fluid line 1, which consists of a multilayer composite 2. The multi-layer composite 2 encompasses a longitudinal central axis 4 of the fluid line 1 in the circumferential direction completely to form a fluid flow space 3 of the fluid line 1. Seen in cross section, the multilayer composite 2 consists of a first layer

5, einer zweiten Schicht 6, einer dritten Schicht 7 sowie einer vierten Schicht 8. Die Schichten 5,5, a second layer 6, a third layer 7 and a fourth layer 8. The layers 5,

6, 7 und 8 bilden einen Grundkörper der Fluidleitung 1. Auf den Grundkörper ist eine Scheuer schutzschicht 9 aufgebracht. Jede der Schichten 5, 6, 7 und 8 ist in Umfangsrichtung durchge hend ausgebildet und weist bevorzugt in Umfangsrichtung eine konstante Wandstärke auf. Dies kann zudem ebenfalls für die Scheuerschutzschicht 9 gelten. 6, 7 and 8 form a base body of the fluid line 1. An abrasion protection layer 9 is applied to the base body. Each of the layers 5, 6, 7 and 8 is formed continuously in the circumferential direction and preferably has a constant wall thickness in the circumferential direction. This can also apply to the abrasion protection layer 9.

In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die erste Schicht 5 aus einem Fluorpoly mer, die zweite Schicht 6 aus einem Polyamid, die dritte Schicht 7 aus einem Ethylen- Vinylalkohol-Copolymer und die vierte Schicht 8 wiederum aus einer Polyamid. Grundsätzlich können die Wandstärken der hier dargestellten Schichten 5, 6, 7 und 8 identisch sein. Bevorzugt weisen die Wandstärke der Schichten 5, 6, 7 und 8 in radialer Richtung nach außen ausgehend von der ersten Schicht 5 zumindest für einige der aufeinanderfolgenden Schichten zu. Die Scheuer schütz Schicht 9 besteht in dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus thermoplasti schem Polyurethan. Sie ist zudem durch Extrudieren auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht. Hier durch wird eine besonders einfache Herstellung der Fluidleitung 1 und ein zuverlässiger Halt der Scheuer schütz Schicht 9 an dem Grundkörper erzielt. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the first layer 5 consists of a fluoropolymer, the second layer 6 of a polyamide, the third layer 7 of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and the fourth layer 8 in turn of a polyamide. In principle, the wall thicknesses of the layers 5, 6, 7 and 8 shown here can be identical. Preferably, the wall thickness of the layers 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the radial direction outwards from the first layer 5 at least for some of the successive layers. The scouring layer 9 consists in the embodiment shown here made of thermoplastic polyurethane. It is also applied to the base body by extrusion. A particularly simple manufacture of the fluid line 1 and a reliable hold of the abrasion-resistant layer 9 on the base body are achieved by this.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine schematische Längsschnittdarstellung der Fluidleitung 1. Angedeutet ist lediglich der Grundkörper, welcher aus Schichten 5, 6, 7 und 8 besteht. Auf diesen ist die Scheu erschutzschicht 9 aufgebracht. Es wird deutlich, dass die Fluidleitung 1 in axialer Richtung be züglich der Längsmittelachse 4 Bereiche 10 sowie Bereiche 11 aufweist, die sich in axialer Rich tung abwechseln. In den Bereichen 10 besteht die Scheuerschutzschicht 9 aus dem thermoplasti schen Polyurethan. In den Bereichen 11 hingegen ist sie aus einem anderen Material ausgebildet, beispielsweise aus einem gummiartigen Material. Dieses andere Material ist vorzugsweise derart gewählt, dass es leichter von dem Grundkörper lösbar ist als das thermoplastische Polyurethan. Die Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere Längsschnittdarstellung der Fluidleitung 1 in schematische Form. Wiederum liegen die Bereiche 10 und die Bereiche 11 vor. Es ist nun vorgesehen, dass in den Bereichen 10 zwischen der Scheuerschutzschicht 9 und dem Grundkörper ein Haftvermittler 12 vorliegt. Dies ist in den Bereichen 11 nicht der Fall. In diesem ist das thermoplastische Po- lyurethan haftvermittellos auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht. Hierdurch wird ein Abmanteln der Fluidleitung 1, also ein Entfernen der Scheuerschutzschicht 9, in den Bereichen 11 erleichtert. In anderen Worten haftet die Scheuerschutzschicht 9 in den Bereichen 10 stärker an dem Grund körper als in den Bereichen 11. FIG. 2 shows a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the fluid line 1. Only the basic body is indicated, which consists of layers 5, 6, 7 and 8. On this, the protective layer 9 is applied. It is clear that the fluid line 1 in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis 4 has areas 10 and areas 11 which alternate in the axial direction. In areas 10, the abrasion protection layer 9 consists of the thermoplastic polyurethane. In the regions 11, however, it is formed from a different material, for example from a rubber-like material. This other material is preferably chosen such that it is easier to detach from the base body than the thermoplastic polyurethane. FIG. 3 shows a further longitudinal sectional illustration of the fluid line 1 in schematic form. The areas 10 and the areas 11 are again present. It is now provided that an adhesion promoter 12 is present in the areas 10 between the abrasion protection layer 9 and the base body. This is not the case in areas 11. The thermoplastic polyurethane is applied to the base body without an adhesive. This makes it easier to strip the fluid line 1, that is to say to remove the abrasion protection layer 9, in the regions 11. In other words, the abrasion protection layer 9 adheres more strongly to the base body in the regions 10 than in the regions 11.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Fluidleitung 1 im schematischen Längsschnitt. Es ist erkennbar, dass der Grundkörper eine Oberflächenstruktur 13 aufweist, auf welche die Scheuerschutzschicht 9 aufgebracht wird. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel setzt sich die Oberflächenstruktur 13 aus in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandeten Stegen 14 zusammen, von welchen hier lediglich einige beispielhaft angedeutet sind. Durch die Stege 14 ist der Grundkörper nach Art eines Währrohrs ausgebildet. Die Verwendung der Oberflächenstruk- tur 13 verbessert ein mechanisches anhaften der Scheuerschutzschicht 9 an dem Grundkörper. FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the fluid line 1 in a schematic longitudinal section. It can be seen that the base body has a surface structure 13 to which the abrasion protection layer 9 is applied. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the surface structure 13 is composed of webs 14 spaced apart from one another in the axial direction, only a few of which are indicated here by way of example. Through the webs 14, the base body is designed in the manner of a monitoring tube. The use of the surface structure 13 improves the mechanical adherence of the abrasion protection layer 9 to the base body.
