Abstract

A device (1) for generating high pressures in solid and liquid media is described. The device (1) includes a lower shell-shaped body half (2) and an upper shell-shaped body half (3). The device (1) further includes a lower elastic membrane (6) and an upper elastic membrane (7), which are each inserted into the lower body half (2) and into the upper body half (3), respectively. The respective body half (2, 3) and the respective membrane (6, 7) inserted into it each surround a pressure chamber (62, 73). The device (1) furthermore includes an opening and a channel (14) in the lower body half (2), in order to attach an oil line from an oil pump to the device and to pump the oil into the pressure chamber between the lower body half (2) and the elastic membrane (6) inserted into it. The pressure chambers (62, 73) in the lower body half (2) and in the upper body half (3) communicate by means of a line. The device (1) is distinguished in that the line connects the pressure chambers (62, 73) in the lower body half (2) and the upper body half (3) permanently with one another in both the open and the closed state of the device. The device is furthermore distinguished in that it includes a pipeline, which is embodied in the form of a helical spring line (17) and extends outside the lower shell-shaped body half (2) and the upper shell-shaped body half (3).
