Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen hydraulischen, ver stellbaren Schwingungsdämpfer mit einem Ausgleichsraum, für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit einem an einer Kolbenstange be festigten Dämpfungskolben, der den Arbeitszylinder in zwei mit Dämpfungsflüssigkeit gefüllte Kammerhälften unterteilt, wobei eine Verstellvorrichtung einen parallel zum Dämpfungskolben angeordneten Bypaß über einen axial beweglichen Ventilkörper beaufschlagt, der Ventilkörper von einem in einem Steuerraum angeordneten Steuerelement beaufschlagt wird, und das Steuerelement auf einer Seite von einem niedrigen Druck und auf der entgegengesetzten Seite von einer Federkraft und einem Steuerdruck beaufschlagt wird.The invention relates to a hydraulic, ver adjustable vibration damper with a compensation space, for motor vehicles, with one on a piston rod strengthened damping piston, which the working cylinder in two halves of the chamber filled with damping fluid subdivided, an adjustment device one Bypass arranged parallel to the damping piston acts on an axially movable valve body which Valve body from one arranged in a control room Control is applied, and the control on one side of a low pressure and on the opposite side of a spring force and one Control pressure is applied.
Es sind bereits derartige Schwingungsdämpfer bekannt, bei denen eine Verstellvorrichtung (DE-OS 17 75 415) parallel zum Dämpfungskolben angeordnet ist und eine Anpassung der Dämpfungskraft möglich ist. Dabei ist das Steuerelement vom Druck eines eingeschlossenen Gasvolumens als niedrigem Druck beaufschlagt.Such vibration dampers are already known where an adjustment device (DE-OS 17 75 415) is arranged parallel to the damping piston and a Adjustment of the damping force is possible. It is Control from the pressure of an enclosed Gas volume applied as a low pressure.
Darüber hinaus sind Schwingungsdämpfer vorgeschlagen worden (DE-OS 35 03 152), bei denen die Dämpfungsventile des Dämpfungskolbens über eine druckabhängige Vor richtung mehr oder weniger vorgespannt werden können. Vibration dampers are also proposed been (DE-OS 35 03 152), in which the damping valves of the damping piston via a pressure-dependent pre direction can be biased more or less.
Nachteilig ist, daß bei Fahrzeugen mit stark unter schiedlichen Beladungszuständen (LKW's, NKW's, Busse, etc.) konventionelle Schwingungsdämpfer meist nur eine ungenügende Fahrsicherheit bieten, insbesondere durch mangelnde Wankstabilität bei Kurvenfahrt und bei Voll last. Der Dämpfungsbedarf eines solchen Fahrzeuges steigt mit zunehmender Beladung, da sich die somit schwerer werdenden Massen zunehmend schwerer beruhigen lassen.The disadvantage is that in vehicles with strong below different loading conditions (trucks, commercial vehicles, buses, etc.) conventional vibration dampers usually only one offer inadequate driving safety, especially through lack of roll stability when cornering and at full load. The damping requirement of such a vehicle increases with increasing load, since the heavier masses increasingly difficult to calm down to let.
Es sollte ein hydraulischer, verstellbarer Zweirohr- Schwingungsdämpfer mit einer stufenlosen Dämpfungskraft regelung in Zug- und Druckstufe geschaffen werden, dessen Verstellvorrichtung pneumatisch oder hydropneu matisch ansteuerbar ist, wobei ein möglicht hysterese freies Ansprechverhalten bei geringsten Steuerdruck änderungen und ebenfalls ein möglichst hysteresefreies Ansprechverhalten des Ventilkörpers bei Dämpfungsdruck beaufschlagung erzielbar ist und der dabei einen großen Verstellbereich, insbesondere für NKW's, aufweist.A hydraulic, adjustable two-pipe Vibration damper with a continuous damping force rebound and compression stages are created, whose adjustment device is pneumatic or hydropneu can be controlled mathematically, with a possible hysteresis free response at the lowest control pressure changes and also as hysteresis-free as possible Response behavior of the valve body at damping pressure loading can be achieved and it is a big one Adjustment range, especially for commercial vehicles.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 1 gegeben.The solution to this problem is with the features of Claim 1 given.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Steuerelement von einer elastischen Membran umgeben und somit axial beweglich gehalten ist.In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that Control surrounded by an elastic membrane and is thus kept axially movable.
Nach einer weiteren besonders günstigen Ausführungsform sind der Ventilkörper und das Steuerelement einteilig ausgebildet.According to a further particularly favorable embodiment the valve body and the control element are in one piece educated.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verläuft die Strömungs verbindung zwischen den beiden Stirnseiten des Ventil körpers, oder die Strömungsverbindung ist im Bereich der Außenfläche des Ventilkörpers angeordnet. Vorteilhaft ist hierbei, daß der mit dem Dämpfungsdruck des Bypasses beaufschlagte Ventilkörper zur Reibungsminderung bzw. zum besseren Ansprechverhalten über das Führungsspiel mit Dämpfungsmittel beaufschlagt wird. Durch die zusätz liche Strömungsverbindung wird das Lecköl in den system druckbeaufschlagten Ausgleichsraum annähernd drucklos zurückgeführt. Der Dämpfungsdruck des Bypasses kann somit die zur Atmosphäre wirkende Dichtung nicht beauf schlagen, so daß mit einer geringen Reibung zu rechnen ist.In an embodiment of the invention, the flow runs connection between the two ends of the valve body, or the flow connection is in the range of Arranged outer surface of the valve body. Advantageous is that with the damping pressure of the bypass acted valve body to reduce friction or for better responsiveness via the leadership game damping agent is applied. By the additional leakage oil in the system pressurized compensation chamber almost without pressure returned. The bypass damping pressure can thus do not apply the seal to the atmosphere beat so that there is little friction is.
Bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt.Preferred embodiments of the invention are in the drawings shown schematically.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Verstelleinrichtung in vergrößertem Maßstab, Fig. 2 shows the adjusting device in an enlarged scale,

Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen Ausführungsbeispiele mit einer ent sprechenden Verstelleinrichtung. FIGS. 4 and 5 show embodiments with a ent speaking adjusting device.
Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte hydrauliche, verstellbare Zweirohr-Schwingungsdämpfer besteht im wesentlichen aus dem Arbeitszylinder 4, der durch den an der Kolbenstange 2 angeordndeten Dämpfungskolben 3 in zwei Kammerhälften unterteilt wird. Der Arbeitszylinder 4 ist zunächst vom Bypaß 6 und vom Ausgleichsraum 11 umgeben. Durch die Rückschlagventile 18 im Dämpfungskolben 3 und im Boden des Schwingungsdämpfers 1 wird das Dämpfungsmittel im Bypaß sowohl in der Zug- als auch in der Druckstufe jeweils in einer Richtung gepumpt, so daß die Verstell vorrichtung 5 für die Dämpfungskrafteinstellung heran gezogen wird. Durch den Bypaß 6 erfolgt eine Beauf schlagung des Ventilkörpers 7, der bei entsprechendem Druck den Bypaß 6 öffnet und das Dämpfungsmittel ent weder in den Ausgleichsraum 11 oder über das Rückschlag ventil 18 in die untere Kammerhälfte des Arbeits zylinders 4 strömen läßt. Im Steuerraum 8 ist ein Steuerelement 9 über eine elastische Membran 10 axial verschiebbar aufgehängt, wobei im Steuerraum 8 ein Steuerdruck entsprechend der Luftfeder 13 zusammen mit der Feder 14 aufgebracht wird. Bei entsprechendem Druck im Steuerraum wird der Ventilkörper 7 den Bypaß 6 schließen, und die Dämpfungskraft im Schwingungsdämpfer 1 wird somit erhöht.The illustrated in Fig. 1 hydra uliche, adjustable two-tube shock absorber consists essentially of the working cylinder 4 is divided by the angeordndeten to the piston rod 2 damping piston 3 into two chamber halves. The working cylinder 4 is initially surrounded by the bypass 6 and the compensation chamber 11 . Through the check valves 18 in the damping piston 3 and in the bottom of the vibration damper 1 , the damping agent in the bypass is pumped in both directions in the train and in the compression stage, so that the adjusting device 5 is used for the damping force setting. Through the bypass 6 is a Beauf beat of the valve body 7 , which opens the bypass 6 at the appropriate pressure and the damping agent ent either in the compensation chamber 11 or via the check valve 18 in the lower chamber half of the working cylinder 4 can flow. In the control room 8 , a control element 9 is suspended axially displaceably via an elastic membrane 10 , a control pressure corresponding to the air spring 13 being applied together with the spring 14 in the control room 8 . With a corresponding pressure in the control chamber, the valve body 7 will close the bypass 6 , and the damping force in the vibration damper 1 will thus be increased.
In der Fig. 2 ist eine Verstelleinrichtung 5 in ver größertem Maßstab dargestellt, wobei der Ventilkörper 7 mit dem Steuerelement 9 einteilig ausgebildet ist. Der Bypaß 6 läßt das Dämpfungsmittel stirnseitig am Ventil körper 7 angreifen, während der Steuerdruck im Steuer raum 9 zusammen mit der Feder 14 einen entsprechenden Druck auf das Steuerelement 9 ausübt. Die axiale Beweg lichkeit des Ventilkörpers 7 ist über die elastische Membran 10 gewährleistet. Auf der dem Steuerraum 9 entgegengesetzten Seite der Membran ist eine Entlüftung 15 zur Atmosphäre hin vorgesehen. Der Steuerdruck im Steuerraum 9 versucht, den Ventilkörper 7 axial auszu lenken, so daß der Bypaß 6 verschlossen wird, während das Dämpfungsmittel im Bypaß 6 über die Stirnseite des Ventilkörpers 7 den Ventilkörper 7 in Offenstellung be wegt. Durch das Dämpfungsmittel im Bypaß 6 wird eine Druckschmierung des Führungsspaltes 16 vorgenommen, wobei dieses Schmiermittel anschließend über die Strömungsverbindung 12 annähernd drucklos in den Aus gleichsraum 11 gelangt, so daß die Dichtung 17 nicht be aufschlagt wird.In Fig. 2, an adjusting device 5 is shown on a larger scale, wherein the valve body 7 is formed in one piece with the control element 9 . The bypass 6 allows the damping means to attack the end face of the valve body 7 , while the control pressure in the control chamber 9 together with the spring 14 exerts a corresponding pressure on the control element 9 . The axial movability of the valve body 7 is ensured via the elastic membrane 10 . A vent 15 to the atmosphere is provided on the side of the membrane opposite the control chamber 9 . The control pressure in the control chamber 9 tries to axially steer the valve body 7 , so that the bypass 6 is closed, while the damping means in the bypass 6 on the end face of the valve body 7 moves the valve body 7 in the open position. Due to the damping means in the bypass 6 , pressure lubrication of the guide gap 16 is carried out, this lubricant then coming via the flow connection 12 almost without pressure into the equalization space 11 , so that the seal 17 is not opened.
In der Fig. 3 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, bei dem der Ventilkörper 7 eine Strömungsverbindung 12 von der einen zur anderen Stirnseite aufweist, so daß das Dämpfungsmittel des Bypasses 6, welche zur Druck schmierung des Führungsspaltes 16 herangezogen wird, wiederum in den Ausgleichsraum 11 annähernd drucklos ge langen kann.In Fig. 3, an embodiment is shown in which the valve body 7 has a flow connection 12 from one end to the other, so that the damping means of the bypass 6 , which is used for pressure lubrication of the guide gap 16 , again in the compensation chamber 11 approximately can get depressurized.
In der Fig. 4 ist eine Verstellvorrichtung 5 am Mantel rohr des Ausgleichsraumes 11 angebracht, wobei der Ventilkörper 7 sowie das Steuerelement 9 im Prinzip dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Beispiel entspricht. Der Steuerraum 8 wird über die Luftfeder 13 mit Steuerdruck beaufschlagt.In FIG. 4, an adjusting device 5 is on the jacket tube of the compensating chamber 11 is attached, wherein the valve body 7 and the control member 9 in principle to the example shown in Figure 3 corresponds to.. The control chamber 8 is acted upon by control pressure via the air spring 13 .
In der Fig. 5 ist eine Ausführung gezeigt, bei dem der Ventilkörper 7 in einer Bohrung axial beweglich aufge nommen ist, wobei die hintere Stirnfläche des Ventil körpers 7 eine Strömungsverbindung 12 aufweist, die das der Druckschmierung dienende Lecköl drucklos in den Aus gleichsraum 11 fördert. Ansonsten ist dieses Aus führungsbeispiel mit dem in Fig. 4 bereits darge stellten gleich.In Fig. 5 an embodiment is shown in which the valve body 7 is axially movable in a bore, the rear end face of the valve body 7 has a flow connection 12 which promotes the pressure lubrication leak oil without pressure into the equalization chamber 11 . Otherwise, this exemplary embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 4.
