So far, described first piston comprises a tapering part, and inwardly outstanding flange has formed the restriction of flowing together in the hole of this tapering part and from described actuator housings, when described first piston when the retracted position moves to extended position, above-mentioned flow restriction increases, and vice versa.
Described tapering part is the shape of a truncated cone haply, to obtain a linear circulation area that reduces.In order to have an outside a little curvilinear surface, the described truncated cone can be modified, to form an inside a little curvilinear surface of connection area or that reduces fast, so when described first piston moved to described extended position, the described truncated cone was funnel-like to be used to gradually reduce the connection area.
In another preferred embodiment, described primary flow path comprises a plurality of smaller pipelines, when described piston when described retracted position moves to described extended position, above-mentioned pipeline is opened by piston one by one at place, described retracted position, and closed one by one by piston in described extended position, vice versa.Therefore, when described first piston when the retracted position moves to extended position, the flow restriction in the primary flow path increases.Depend on desired profile, described pipeline can have identical flow resistance or different flow resistances.
Alternatively, described actuator housings can have an angled orifices, this angled orifices is led to indoor in the described actuator housings, and described angled orifices and described first piston interact and form a flow resistance, and this flow resistance can change with respect to the position of described first piston.Therefore, described flow restriction can the continually varying mode change.
Described valve acutator also comprises:
One second piston, this second piston and the coaxial setting of above-mentioned first piston, and act on the above-mentioned first piston phase I with the stroke of the first piston that is implemented in described extended position place,
One secondary pressure chamber, wherein pressurized fluid acts on the surface of described second piston driving it at described extended position place,
One secondary stream, this secondary stream are between above-mentioned aperture and above-mentioned secondary pressure chamber and be used to close the device of above-mentioned secondary stream before the end of described its working stroke of second piston arrives.Assist described main piston to overcome back pressure at second piston described in the firing chamber.Closing described secondary stream in time helps avoid described second piston and impinges upon too fiercely on its stroke limiter.
On the fixed speed of described valve and the described stroke limiter first piston in abutting connection with speed also can be by being used for described main piston the end of stroke damper of the shape that is blind dampening chamber reduce, in the tail end of corresponding stroke, the part of described first piston is trapped in the described blind dampening chamber.
According to the present invention, the more purpose of described hydraulic control valve, feature, advantage and characteristic will become clearer by the description of following embodiment.

At fuel in this case, be arranged in the described hydraulic fluid of rail altogether and can be used to directly drive described valve acutator, perhaps drive described valve acutator by pressure amplifier/separator indirectly, described separator can separate the hydraulic fluid that is used for valve acutator from the fuel that is arranged in common rail.Pressure in the described common rail fuel system relies on the running state of motor, for example operating rate and load condition and change.Typically, the pressure that is used for the described common rail fuel system of large two-stroke diesel engine can cling to variation between 2000 crust 800.
Be total to rail if be used for the special use of described valve acutator, can from storage tank, pass through the pumping plant supplying hydraulic fluid so, described hydraulic fluid, for example a kind of standard hydraulic oil, but preferably, can be with the lubricant oil in the motor as hydraulic fluid, and give described system supply from the oil groove of motor.
But described internal-combustion engine middling speed four-cycle diesel or gas engine, or low speed two-stroke cross head diesel engine, its a kind of propelling motor or a kind of fixing prime mover that is used for the power station that is used for boats and ships.
Each cylinder of motor all links to each other with a control electronics 15, this control electronics 15 by lead 16 receive total synchronously and control signal, and in other parts, automatically controlled signal is sent to a control valve 17 places by lead 18.Can be that each cylinder all has a control apparatus 15, or several cylinder be continuous with identical control apparatus.Described control apparatus can also be from a total control apparatus received signal, and this control apparatus is public to all cylinders.
In described control panel, the passage of pitching out from the punishment of described high pressure pipe line 19 is sent to a high-pressure orifice on the described control valve 17 with the supporting roll hydraulic fluid.
Described passage 19 has a plurality of fluid collectors 20, when described control valve is opened, and when described control valve is closed from described high pressure pipe line by after supply with in, this fluid collector 20 can be carried most flows.
Control mouth on the described control valve 17 is connected to exhaust port place on the upper surface that is positioned at described switchboard 12 by the passage 21 in the described switchboard.Described control valve also has one jar of mouth, and this jar mouth is connected to a reflow pipe place that is used to transmit the hydraulic fluid of using by the return line 22 of a passage shape.Alternatively, described return line 22 can under atmospheric pressure be connected to a waste pipe place, and for example, one leads to the waste pipe of engine oil sump.The excursion of the pressure in the described return line can be pressed onto the overvoltage of several crust from atmosphere.Penetrate into described actuator for fear of air, described return line 22 preferably has an overvoltage, and for example overvoltage of at least 1 crust is so when described hydraulic fluid is discharged from, can keep this overvoltage in pressure piping 10 from described actuator.
When described outlet valve 4 when being unlocked, the control signal that comes from described control apparatus 15 drives described control valve 17 to one positions, be connected on the described control mouth at the described high-pressure orifice 19 in this position, enter the mouth described pressure piping 10 places freely and therefore arrive described fluid supply port 11 places again so that high-pressure liquid has.When described outlet valve 4 when being closed, described control valve 17 is driven to a position, the described jar mouth that is connected on the return line 22 is connected to described control and mouthful locates in this position, so the high pressure in the pressure piping 10 is discharged from.
Described control valve 17 is the type of any routine, for example two-bit triplet unidirectional electrical driving switch valve.But, in order to obtain fast, accurate activated valve device, shown in control valve 17 preferably form by two-part, that is, a mortor operated valve 17a and is used for the main valve 17b of described valve acutator.But described mortor operated valve 17a two-bit triplet.For example, it has the type of magnetic padlock in extreme position, driven in the magnetization of the described valve in this position by a coil in two coils, and described two coils are positioned on the end of a valve slider separately, and this valve slider is made by ferromagnetic substance.The safety measure that lost efficacy as the magnetization that prevents described two coils, but the described valve slider of a spring precompressed in this position, is main supply ports to the jar mouth of described return line 22 to an inoperative position of supposition.Alternatively, the described mortor operated valve solenoid valve of a routine.The exhaust port of described mortor operated valve is connected to a center-aisle place, this center-aisle is communicated with the piston face place of pressure to slider one end of main valve 17b, has a piston face than small size that is connected with described high pressure pipe line enduringly on the other end of described slider.A position at described mortor operated valve, high pressure on the described less piston area is pressed onto a position with main slider, be connected to the exhaust port place of described main valve at the described reflow pipe in this position by described return line 22, described exhaust port leads to pressure piping 10.Be driven to its second place place as described mortor operated valve 17a, when stating center-aisle in this second place place and being connected on the high pressure pipe line 14, the slider of described main valve is pressed onto its second place place than the lip-deep high pressure of big piston, be passed to pressure piping 10 places at the described high pressure in this position, so described actuator is with described exhaust valve opening.
With reference to figure 2-4, will first embodiment of actuator 9 and air cushion spring be described in detail now.
Described outlet valve has one from the upright bar portion 24 of valve disc, and the upper end portion of described bar portion supports a spring piston 25, and this spring piston 25 is fixedly mounted in the described bar portion so that realize wiper seal and vertically replace in pneumatic cylinder 26.Below described spring piston, a spring housing 27 that is connected to superheated steam activity (not shown) is arranged, at a predetermined pressure minimum, the excessive rollings of 4.5 crust for example, described superheated steam activity can make and be full of superheated steam in the described spring housing.Other air pressure also can be used, and for example clings to the pressure of the scope of 10 crust from 3.According to the spring characteristic of desired air cushion spring, described pressure minimum can be selected.It is possible that spring housing on several different cylinders is connected with each other, and still, preferably, can not return valve 56 by one independently in each spring housing of described superheated steam activity and closes.Superheated steam in the described spring housing 27 produces one and continues power upwards on described spring piston 25.When described spring piston 25 to bottom offset and when compressing gas in the described spring housing 27, should power upwards just increase, prevent the overflowing of gas in the spring housing 27 by the described valve that do not return.
One shell 28 is around described air cushion spring and produce a cavity 29 thereon.Described cavity is connected to a waste pipe 57 places, so described cavity has barometric pressure.
Described hydraulic actuator 9 constitutes from cylinder 31, and this cylinder is by the upper support of described shell 28.One first piston 32 is accommodated in the center hole of described cylinder 31.Described center hole is closed at the place, top of described cylinder, and opens at the place, bottom of described cylinder 31.Described center hole and one is arranged in the hole 34 coaxial settings of described shell 28.
One main pressure chamber 35 is defined between the top of cylinder 31 and described first piston.Hydraulic fluid is fed into and discharges described valve acutator by an aperture 11.Aperture 11 is connected to 36 places, aperture by a pipeline 30, and the described center hole in the cylinder 31 is led in this aperture 36.Alternatively, aperture 11 links to each other with described high-voltage power supply, or links to each other with described return line.An intermediate pressure chamber 37 is led in described aperture 36, and this intermediate pressure chamber 37 is defined between the part 38 of diameter reduction of described cylinder 31 and described first piston.One pipeline 39 is from pipeline 30 punishment fork, and leads to described center hole with aperture 43 wherein, during the phase I of described unlatching stroke, and the recess 41 in the described aperture 43 of this central hole in the first piston.By described recess 41, described hydraulic fluid arrives in the secondary pressure chamber 40.Described secondary pressure chamber is defined between the part that a diameter of one second piston 42 and described center hole increases, and described second piston 42 is coaxial setting with described first piston.Described second piston is being meshed with the auxiliary latter in the phase I of described unlatching stroke with a flange 45 on the described first piston.The stroke of described second piston 42 is shorter than the stroke of described main piston 32 significantly.At the end of the stroke of described second piston, it contacts with one-stroke limiter 46.Therefore, in the phase I of described unlatching stroke, described first piston and described second piston move together.Because the recess 41 at described first piston place has moved past the position of the described center hole that leads in aperture 43, so touch before its stroke limiter 46 at described second piston, the stream between described secondary pressure chamber 40 and aperture 43 has been closed.Therefore contacted before described stroke limiter at described second piston, the supply of supporting roll hydraulic fluid is through with well, so described second piston gently drops on its stroke limiter 46.
In order to allow described secondary pressure chamber to be drained for closing motion, a reflow pipe 47 with safety check 44 is connected to described secondary pressure chamber on the pipeline 10.
When described outlet valve will be unlocked, described control valve 17 was fed to 11 places, described aperture with described high-pressure liquid, and described first, centre and secondary pressure chamber pressurized all.High pressure hydraulic fluid in described main pressure chamber and the secondary pressure chamber causes described first piston and the simultaneously downward pressurized of described second piston.
The top of described first piston comprises a tapering part 48, and this tapering part 48 top towards described first piston on diameter increases.This tapering part is as shown in Fig. 1-3, and it has an outside a little curvilinear surface, but other surface, a truncated cone for example, an inside a little curvilinear surface, their combination or any desired predetermined profile all are possible.A kind of like this profile is by test, and computer simulation or analytical method determine, what these means were used for showing the optimal dynamic characteristic that is used for described valve acutator will have much along the flow resistance of described stroke in each position.Then, described in view of the above conical surface is configured.
One inwardly outstanding annular flange flange 49 is from described central hole, promptly just in time described aperture 36 lead to described center hole the position above locate to extend.Described tapering part 48 forms a narrow annulus with a size with described annular flange flange 49, and this size changes along with the position of described first piston.Described hydraulic fluid is had to by this slit pressurized to flow to the described main pressure chamber from described intermediate pressure chamber.This causes the pressure drop between described intermediate pressure chamber and the main pressure chamber.When the size of described annulus reduced, this pressure drop just increased, and along with the increase of flow, this pressure drop also progressively increases, so this has prevented that effectively described first piston from reaching too high speed.Described tapering part can be defined size so that described slit diminishes towards the end of described unlatching stroke.So described first piston has been limited effectively towards the speed of the end of described stroke, even the supply pressure of described hydraulic fluid is relatively higher.Described first piston also has an end that is the stroke damper of dampening chamber's 50 shapes.Described flange 45 be defined size with blind dampening chamber in a small gap fit, and when described flange is absorbed in the described dampening chamber, by forcing hydraulic fluid to flow out the mode of described dampening chamber by described small gap, most remaining kinetic energy have been absorbed, and the lower surface of described first piston gently contacts on described stroke limiter 51.
Under the influence of described air spring, described first piston is returned to place, described retracted position.Described actuator also has the end of the stroke damper that is dampening chamber's 52 shapes that is used for described closing motion.The top of described piston be defined size with blind dampening chamber 52 in a small gap fit.When the top of described first piston was absorbed in the described dampening chamber, most remaining kinetic energy had been absorbed, and described valve gently contacts on described valve seat.
The flow resistance of the stream between described aperture 36 and described main pressure chamber 35 can be regulated by the design that changes described tapering part, changes the design of above-mentioned tapering part according to required pressure in the main pressure chamber 35 of the position separately of described first piston.Therefore, described valve acutator can suitably be operated with a high-voltage power supply, and this high-voltage power supply has a variable pressure.Relatively low supply pressure will cause the lower acceleration of described valve.Therefore, it is longer a little that described control electronics 15 can keep the time of described opening of valves.Fig. 5 illustrates described control electronics 15 well and adjusts time limit of described valve opening and the length variation in pressure in supplying with the compensation high pressure hydraulic fluid constantly.Solid line among Fig. 5 is depicted as the time limit of the conventional valve that is used for the titer hydraulic fluid pressure.When described supply pressure is low relatively, described control electronics will be indicated described opening of valves ground relatively earlier, and the time that is held open state is longer relatively, to guarantee being used for the suitably time long enough of the opening of valves of discharge (having shown in the length dotted line at interval) of gas in the firing chamber as Fig. 5, when described supply pressure was higher relatively, vice versa (shown in another dotted line among Fig. 5).
Cylinder comprises that one discharges and reflux line 53, and this pipeline is connected to 34 places, described aperture with main pressure chamber 35.When described first piston was positioned at place, a neutral position, the hydraulic fluid of temperature can be recycled by described actuator.The advantage of this design be when motor not in running state following time, still can keep described valve on operating temperature, and this design also has effective scavenging action.
Figure 6 shows that second embodiment of described valve acutator.Described valve acutator is an identical construction according to first embodiment's valve acutator substantially, except changing the device of the flow restriction of the primary flow path between aperture 11 and the main pressure chamber 35.In the present embodiment, aperture 36 has been replaced by an angled orifices 36 '.Described angled orifices forms a mobile restriction with described top, when described first piston when described retracted position moves to described extended position, this flow restriction just increases, and before the end that arrives described unlatching stroke, described primary flow path has fully been blocked, to prevent that any hydraulic fluid from flowing in the described main pressure chamber further, so described first piston and described valve will slow down in the final stage of described unlatching stroke.Described hydraulic fluid flows in the described intermediate pressure chamber from aperture 36 ' by a pipeline 54, and further flows in the main pressure chamber, and this pipeline 54 is connected to intermediate pressure chamber in the main pressure chamber 35.
Figure 7 shows that the 3rd embodiment of described valve acutator.Described valve acutator is an identical construction according to second embodiment's valve acutator substantially, except changing the device of the flow restriction of the primary flow path between aperture 11 and the main pressure chamber 35.Pipeline 30 is connected to a plurality of narrow relatively pipelines 55 places, below 55 1 in this narrow pipeline is positioned at one by aperture 36 " lead to described intermediate pressure chamber.Flow restriction in the described throat produces a sizable pressure drop at the high flow rate place of described hydraulic fluid.In described unlatching stroke, described aperture 36 is closed on the top of described first piston one by one ".Therefore in described unlatching stroke, the flow restriction in the primary flow path increases step by step.When along the direction of described unlatching stroke, the cross-section area of the narrow pipeline 55 shown in Fig. 7 is along with each narrow passage diminishes.When described first piston moved to described extended position, this had caused the progressively increase of flow restriction in the primary flow path.Alternatively, described pipeline 55 is cross-section area identical (not shown), perhaps has big relatively cross-section area, and a flow limiter (not shown) is set in described pipeline 55.
Pei Zhi air spring can be replaced by a return stroke pressure chamber and a piston face in the above-described embodiments, and this piston face forces described first piston to place, described retracted position.This embodiment (not shown) will need control valve is carried out revising a little, and this control valve can be fed to the supporting roll hydraulic fluid return stroke pressure chamber that is used for described piston is forced to place, described retracted position.As described above, identical principle can be used to control with respect to the pressure in the return stroke pressure chamber of the position of described first piston.
Although at length described purpose of the present invention, be understandable that these details are only used for above-mentioned purpose, and those skilled in the art can make amendment to it in the scope that does not depart from claim with way of illustration.
