Abstract
Description
Anordnungen zur Überwachung des Verschleißes des Belags von Rei bungsbremsen sind z. B. aus der DE 41 39 546 A1 bekannt. Dort besteht der Sensor aus mehreren parallel liegenden stromdurchflos senen Widerständen, die zeitlich nacheinander durch Verschleiß unwirksam werden. Diese Widerstandsänderung wird durch eine Aus werteelektronik überwacht und es wird eine Anzeige und/oder ein Schaltsignal erzeugt wenn eine entsprechende Abnutzung erreicht ist.Arrangements for monitoring the wear of the lining of Rei Exercise brakes are such. B. known from DE 41 39 546 A1. There the sensor consists of several parallel current-free conductors their resistances, which occur in succession due to wear become ineffective. This change in resistance is indicated by an off value electronics monitored and there will be a display and / or a Switching signal generated when a corresponding wear is reached.
Zusätzlich wird ein Widerstandsmaterial gewählt, daß von der Temperatur abhängig ist. Die Auswerteelektronik kann dadurch zusätzlich Rückschlüsse auf die Bremsentemperatur ziehen.In addition, a resistance material is chosen that from the Temperature is dependent. The evaluation electronics can also draw conclusions about the brake temperature.
Auch bei der Erfindung sind nur zwei Anschlüsse für die Überwachung notwendig. Die Änderung erfolgt kontinuierlich. Die Bremsbelagstärke wird erfindungsgemäß kontinuierlich gemessen. Der Sensor trägt an seiner geschlossenen Jochseite eine möglichst flache Spule mit zwei elektrischen Anschlüssen. Der magnetische Kern kann entweder bündig in den Belag eingelassen sein oder etwas versenkt, wenn eine Überwachung erst nach einem gewissen Abnützungsgrad durchgeführt werden soll. Der Kern kann aus normalem, massivem oder geblechtem Eisen sein. Für den Fall, daß dieses Material den Reibprozeß zwischen Belag und Bremsscheibe zu sehr stört, können auch andere ferromagnetische Materialien wie sinterkeramischer Ferrit oder kunststoffgebundener Ferrit verwendet werden.In the invention, too, there are only two connections for monitoring necessary. The change takes place continuously. The brake pad thickness is measured continuously according to the invention. The sensor is wearing its closed yoke side with as flat a coil as possible two electrical connections. The magnetic core can either be flush with the surface or slightly sunk if one Monitoring only carried out after a certain degree of wear shall be. The core can be made of normal, solid or laminated Be iron. In the event that this material is the rubbing process between the pad and the brake disc is too disturbing, others can ferromagnetic materials such as sintered ceramic ferrite or plastic-bonded ferrite can be used.
Die Schenkel des E-Kerns bzw. die Wände des Topfkerns werden zusammen mit dem Bremsbelag abgeschliffen, so daß sich kontinuier lich die Induktivität der Spule ändert, d. h. verkleinert. Der Induktivitätswert läßt sich leicht z. B. mittels einer Oszillator schaltung frequenzanalog auswerten, indem man die Spule zum frequenzbestimmenden Glied dieses Oszillators macht (z. B. LR-Relaxationsoszillator oder harmonischer LC-Oszillator). Daneben sind auch zahlreiche andere Schaltungen bekannt, welche eine variable Induktivität elektronisch auszuwerten erlauben. Die an der geschlossenen Seite des Kerns liegende Spule, deren Wicklung z. B. aus Cu-Draht aufgebaut ist, kann gleichzeitig auch als Temperatur fühler benutzt werden, denn Cu besitzt einen beträchtlichen Wider stands-Temperaturkoeffizienten von ca. 4,3 · 10-3/K. Die Aus wertung kann hier ebenfalls frequenzanalog oder aber auch gleich strommäßig z. B. in einer Wheatstonebrücke erfolgen. Für extrem hohe Temperaturen können natürlich auch andere Drahtmaterialien wie beispielsweise Pt, Ni, W, Mo, Ti usw. verwendet werden. Bei der Wahl des ferromagnetischen Kernmaterials ist zu beachten, daß die zu erwartende Betriebstemperatur unterhalb des für den Werkstoff gültigen Curie-Punktes (bei Fe ca. 800°C, bei Ferrit ca. 500°C) liegt. The legs of the E core or the walls of the pot core are ground together with the brake pad, so that the inductance of the coil changes continuously, ie reduced. The inductance value can be easily z. B. by means of an oscillator circuit to evaluate frequency analog by making the coil the frequency-determining element of this oscillator (z. B. LR relaxation oscillator or harmonic LC oscillator). In addition, numerous other circuits are known which allow variable inductance to be evaluated electronically. The coil lying on the closed side of the core, the winding z. B. is built of copper wire, can also be used as a temperature sensor, because Cu has a considerable resistance temperature coefficient of about 4.3 · 10 -3 / K. The evaluation can also be frequency-analog or equally current z. B. in a Wheatstone bridge. For extremely high temperatures, other wire materials such as Pt, Ni, W, Mo, Ti etc. can of course also be used. When choosing the ferromagnetic core material, it should be noted that the expected operating temperature is below the Curie point valid for the material (approx. 800 ° C for Fe, approx. 500 ° C for ferrite).
Während das Joch des magnetischen Kernes bzw. auch die Spule in der oben beschriebenen Anordnung im Verschleißbereich des Bremsbelags liegt, kann sie auch so angebracht werden, daß Joch und Spule aus der nicht aktiven Seite des Bremsbelags heraus ragen und so gänzlich vor Zerstörung gesichert bleiben.While the yoke of the magnetic core or the coil in the Arrangement described above in the wear area of the brake pad lies, it can also be attached so that the yoke and coil out stick out of the inactive side of the brake pad and so completely remain safe from destruction.
Man kann weiterhin den elektrisch leitfähigen Spulenkern auch noch z. B. zusammen mit einem Anschluß der Wicklung kontaktieren und so auch ein Berühren des Kerns mit der leitfähigen Bremstrommel oder Bremsscheibe als elektrische Kontaktgabe sehr genau erfassen.You can still use the electrically conductive coil core e.g. B. together with a connection of the winding and so also touching the core with the conductive brake drum or Record the brake disc very precisely as an electrical contact.
Anhand der Zeichnung werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung erläutert.Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing explained.
In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 ein Teil eines Bremsbelages bezeichnet, in den ein E-Kern 2 mit Spule 3 eingebettet ist; 4 ist die Bremsscheibe. Die beiden Spulenenden sind herausgeführt (Leitungen 8a und 8b) und mit einer Auswerteelektronik 5 verbunden. Das eine Spulenende ist bei 6 noch zusätzlich mit dem Kern verbunden. Eine weitere Ver bindung 7 führt zur Bremsscheibe 4.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a part of a brake pad in which an E core 2 with a coil 3 is embedded; 4 is the brake disc. The two coil ends are led out (lines 8 a and 8 b) and connected to an evaluation electronics 5 . One end of the coil is additionally connected to the core at 6 . Another Ver connection 7 leads to the brake disc 4th
Die Auswerteschaltung 5 kann über die Leitungen 8a und 8b erkennen, wenn sich durch Abrieb die Induktivität ändert. Gleichzeitig kann sie erkennen, ob sich der Widerstand der Spule ändert und damit auf die Bremsentemperatur schließen. Über die Leitungen 7 und 8a läßt sich erkennen, wenn der Kern 2 mit der Bremsscheibe 4 in Berührung kommt.The evaluation circuit 5 can detect via the lines 8 a and 8 b when the inductance changes due to abrasion. At the same time, it can recognize whether the resistance of the coil changes and thus deduce the brake temperature. Via the lines 7 and 8 a can be seen when the core 2 comes into contact with the brake disc 4 .
Fig. 2 zeigt den Belag 1 der Fig. 1, wenn er bis zur Linie 9 abgenutzt ist und ein Austausch erfolgen muß. Fig. 2 steht auch für den Fall, daß der Kern 2 von Anfang an mit abgenutzt werden soll. Fig. 2 shows the covering 1 of Fig. 1 when it is worn down to line 9 and an exchange must take place. Fig. 2 also stands for the case that the core 2 is to be worn from the beginning.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen Belag, bei dem ein Topfkern 2′ samt Spule 3′ im nicht aktiven Teil des Belags befestigt ist und teilweise aus dem Belag 1′ herausragt. Hier wird die Induktivitätsänderung allein durch die Änderung der Belagdicke bewirkt. Fig. 3 shows a covering in which a pot core 2 'together with the coil 3 ' is fixed in the inactive part of the covering and partially protrudes from the covering 1 '. Here the change in inductance is brought about solely by changing the thickness of the covering.
