Abstract

Abstract Straightway or multi-directional control valve of water construction The subject matter of this invention is a straightway or multi-directional control valve of wafer construction consisting of at least two stationary external cover plates between which are located one or several distance pieces for creating a receptacle chamber foramoving control plate, the thickness of which is less than the clear distance between the cover plates, whereby said distance pieces and the control plate are plane-parallel and each of the same thickness,and whereby a lamination is located between the distance pieces and the cover plates for forming a defined gap between the control plate and the cover plates.

Description

41(~7 Accordinglv, the invention is based on the technical problem of removing this disadvantage and creating a straightway or multi-directional control valve of the type mentioned at the beginning which is easy to manufacture, simple in design and reliable in operation.

This objective has been successfully achieved owing to the fact that the distance pieces and the control plate are plane-parallel and each of the same thickness, and that between the distance pieces and the cover plates is located a lamination for forming a defined gap between the control plate and the cover plates.

According to one design feature of the invention, the lamination consists of an adhesive with particles of a defined size having a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than or equal to the requisite size of the gap between the control plate and the cover plates, whereby the components thus cemented together and the control plate form a proper constructional element ready for assembly. According to a further development of the invention, the cover plates, the distance pieces and the control plate are all manufactured from a ceramic material. Finally, as a further distinguishing feature, claim is laid to a process for manufacturing a valve in accordance with the invention, according to which process the distance pieces and the control plate are manufactured from one single piece which has been processed such that it is plane-paralled and thus of uniform thickness, the distance pieces and the control plate being subsequently separated from one another.

The lamination which forms the gap can be produced in various ways. Coating on the distance pieces and/or the cover plates are conceivable. In the case of a coating on the cover plates, masks are required in the operating range lZ~41(~7 :.```~
coating is applied in these areas. In the case of an ,-alternative coating means for the distance pieces, correlation between the control plate and the distance -pieces which come from a common processed piece must be ensured as the distance pieces or control plates from other workpieces may differ considerably in dimension, something which, incidentally, is quite permissible. A combination of distance pieces and control plates which were not subjected to this common i-~
process must, therefore, be avoided for the reasons mentioned. t`

A cement layer in accordance with the invention,which -cements the distance pieces and the cover plates together, has proved particularly advantageous. The cement lamination, once set, absorbs the forces resulting from the subsequent pressure loading on the cover plates. The resistance to pressure of these cement laminations is quite considerable as they are kept within the range of 0.5 - 2 microns, producing a total gap at the controlp~e of approx. 1 - 4 microns depending upon the~dcfincd ci~o of the particles added to the cement. The components thus cemented together can, if the cover plates are metallic and, at the same time, constitute the valve body, be bolted together after the cement has set. During the setting process, only moderate force may be applied for displacing the excess cement, otherwise there is the danger of the particles being crushed. In cases where the cover plates do not also constitute the valve body, the cemented and proper constructional unit can be easily inserted into a housing. The layer forming the gap could, of course, also be manufactured by some other method. Coatings on the distance pieces or on the cover plates are also conceivable in the form of chemical or electro-plating deposits, and also deposits formed in the so-called PVD and CVD processes.

of the control plate so that no coating is applied in these areas.

_ 4 _ 1 ~54 10 7 A valve according to the invention of wafer construction can, in contrast to piston valves, be simply manufactured owing to the flat, undercut-free shape of the plates and distance pieces, employing sintered materials which are processed by pressing, firing and subsequent flat working. Of particular interest in this connection is the applicability of aluminium oxide ceramics or other ceramics. These materials undergo little or no wear owing to their considerable hardness, and can be manufactured cheaply with flat surfaces of very low peak-to-valley values. The surface quality depends upon the required gap tolerance. Where tolerances are close, the peak-to-valley height can be easily maintained below Ra = 0.1 ~m. In the event that the distance pieces and the control plate are, in accordance with the invention, manufactured from a single piece which has been processed for plane-parallelity with uniform thickness throughout, the subsequent separation of the components from one another can be carried out by means of saws or laser cutting. No distortion of the components will take place owing to the sintered structure which is completely - stress-free.

A valve in accordance with the invention is, of course, suitable for other applications apart from the hydraulics sector. For example, applications in pneumatic systems, and particularly high-pressure pneumatic systems is quite conceivable. Likewise, a valve of this kind can also be employed as a mixer valve for the sanitary valves and fittings sector.

The drawing illustrates the subject matter in the form of an example embodiment as a multi-directional high-pressure gate valve, whereby:

. .. ~, . .

1~41~ -Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the valve, Fig. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of a constructional unit consisting of cover plates, distance pieces and the control plate with a larger-scale detail, shown in Fig. 2A.
Fig. 3 shows a section in accordance with the line s-B
of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 shows a section in accordance with the line A-A
of Fig. 2.
The stationary external cover plates are designated in the figures with 3, and the distance pieces witn 4.
As can be seen, the cover plates 3 and the distance pieces 4 together form a receptacle chamber for a moving control plate 5. As is particularly obvious from the detail enlargement, a lamination 6 is located between the distance pieces 4 and the cover plates 3 in order to form a defined gap 7 between the control plate 5 and the cover plates 3. The distance pieces 4 and the control plate 5 were processed together in a common workpiece for plane-parallelity, each being of the same thickness. The lamination 6 comprises a cement with particles 8 of a defined size, this size corresponding to the gap 7 (1.5 - 2 ~m), such that the particles have a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than or equal to the size of the gap 7 as shown in Fig. 2A.
The components 3 and 4 thus cemented together form, with the control plate, a proper construction unit ready for testing and assembly. As is fur~her demonstrated, the cover plates 3 and the distance pieces 4 are additionally connected together by means of centering pins 9. The distance pieces 4 and the control plate 5 were manufactured from one single plane-parallel piece of uniform thickness. setween the distance pieces and 41(~7 the control plate, separating grooves were preformed on the single-piece sintered material, and the subsequent cutting process could be carried out without great expense by means of saws or laser cutting.
As regards the mode of operation of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the following may be said:

The unit shown by way of example is a three-way brake valve, whereby the third connection is located at the flange face 10 on the right hand side. With the control plate 5 in mid-position, both the high-pressure side P and the return from the valve chamber to the tank are shut off. If the control plate 5 is moved to the right, the pressure medium flows into the chamber and passes from there to the consumer. If, on the other hand, the control plate is moved to the left, the oil received by the consumer can be fed back into the tank.
