Definitions
- This invention concerns hydraulic valve control systems and is particularly, though not exclusively, useful in hydraulic elevators.
- U.S. Patent 4,205,592 A technique illustrating feedback is shown in U.S. Patent 4,205,592, where the flow through the valve and to an object, such as a hydraulic elevator, is passed through a flow meter that includes a potentiometer. As the flow increases, the output voltage associated with the motion of the potentiometer wiper changes, manifesting the magnitude of the flow.
- U.S. Patent 4,381,699 shows a similar type of valve control.
- U.S. Patent 4,418,794 is illustrative of the type of valve that may be used in systems that do not sense the fluid flow but, using a larger feedback loop, perhaps sense the position of the elevator car and control the operation of the valve.
- U.S. Patent 3,977,497 discloses a hydraulic elevator drive system which controls the movement of the elevator car by controlling the fluid flow in accordance with a car speed signal and a commanded velocity signal.
- the fluid control includes a combined check and lowering valve and a by-pass valve.
- a hydraulic control system comprising: a main inlet (25) adapted for connection to a pump (21); a main outlet (43) adapted for connection to an actuator comprising a piston (11) and a cylinder (12); a secondary outlet (31) adapted for connection to a fluid tank (5); a flow control valve (27) for controlling fluid flow from the main inlet to the main outlet; the flow control valve being continuously movable between two positions to control progressively, from a minimum to a maximum equalling the pump output, the flow between the main inlet and the main outlet or discharge from the main outlet to the tank, at one position the main inlet and secondary outlet being connected, at the other position the main inlet and the main outlet being connected and the main inlet and secondary outlet being disconnected; a motor (28) for moving the valve linearly in discrete steps; the hydraulic control system being characterized by having: a resilient member (28c) interconnecting the motor and the valve; the motor applying force through the resilient member to move the valve to said one position and to hold the valve
- Movement of the check valve to an open position at which the car will just about start to move is detected by an electrical switch that produces an electrical control signal that is applied to the main valve control. That control signal acts as the starting point for main valve programmed positioning that determines the velocity profile of the elevator car when the car is moved up.
- connection between the motor and the valve is through a resilient coupling, such as a spring.
- a resilient coupling such as a spring.
- This connection allows the valve to be moved to bypass fluid flow from the pump back to the tank when the valve is in a position in which all the pump output is directed by the valve to the actuator.
- a pressure release valve is operated when the pump pressure exceeds a certain level, and that operation applies fluid under pressure to the valve, which, in response, moves against the resilient coupling to connect the pump output to the tank. This valve operation relieves the pump pressure.
- the drawing is a schematic view showing by way of example only a hydraulic elevator control system embodying the present invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a hydraulic elevator control system for moving an elevator car 10 between a plurality of floors or landings. The floors or landings are not shown.
- the car is attached to a car piston (plunger) 11 that extends from a cylinder 12, and fluid is pumped into or discharged from the cylinder to raise and lower the car respectively, that flow being controlled and regulated in a manner that will be described in detail.
- the motion of the car is detected by a pickup 13.
- the pickup Associated with a stationary position tape 14, the pickup provides a signal (POSITION) on line 15, that is supplied to a pump and valve control (PVC) 17.
- PVC pump and valve control
- the POSITION signal manifests the car position and velocity.
- the position of the car thus sensed is used for controlling the flow of fluid to and from the cylinder, controlling the position of the car piston or plunger 11.
- the PVC 17 controls a hydraulic valve system that includes a pump 21 and a fluid reservoir (tank) S.
- the pump supplies fluid to a hydraulic control valve assembly A through a check valve 6 (to prevent back flow), and this assembly is controlled, along with the pump, by the PVC 17.
- the pump is turned on or off (activated/deactivated) by a pump on/off signal on a line 22, and the fluid from the pump is applied under pressure through the check valve 6 to a first port 25.
- the port 25 leads to a "key-shaped" valve window 26 that is part of a linear valve 27, one that moves back and forth linearly between two positions P1, P2.
- the position of the valve 27 is controlled by a stepper motor 28 which receives a signal (SPEED) on the line 20 from the PVC 17. That signal comprises successive pulses, and the frequency of those pulses determines the motor's 28 speed; hence also the longitudinal (see arrow A1) rate of positioning of the valve 27.
- SPEED signal
- Each pulse in the SPEED signal represents an incremental distance along the length of motion of the valve 27 between points P1 and P2.
- the position (location) of the valve is represented by the accumulated count between those positions.
- the valve window 26 comprises a large window 26a and an adjacent narrower window 26b, giving it a "key-shaped" appearance.
- the large window 26a is adjacent the first inlet port 25, and the narrower adjacent portion 26b is located next to a second port 31.
- the valve 27 is "open”. That second port 31 leads to a line 32 that goes to the tank 5.
- the small window 26b is mostly adjacent to the port 25, and the path to the port 31 is blocked by the solid part of the valve.
- the valve 27 is "closed”. In the open position, at P2, fluid flows from the pump through the line 24; this is "flow-up” (FU), flow to raise the car.
- FU flow-up
- the fluid then passes into the large window 26a and, from there, through the small window 26b back to the line 32, then to the tank.
- the FU flow is thus bypassed when the pump is started. But, as the valve 27 closes (moves to position P1), the pressure of the FU fluid flow begins to build in an internal port 35, while the bypass flow on line 32 decreases as the path through window 26b to port 31 decreases. As the valve 27 moves to position P1 (nonbypass position), there is some overlap of the two windows 26a, 26b and the main inlet port 25, meaning that the path through the large window 26a decreases, while the path through the smaller window 26b increases.
- the area of the smaller window 26b is more dependent than with the case of the larger window on the longitudinal position of the valve 27.
- the change in flow is controlled by the smaller valve window area to outlet port 31, which reduces as the main valve begins to move towards the closed position at P1, at which all the FU flow passes from the port 25 to the inlet 35; there being no path between the port 25 and the outlet port 31.
- the fluid pressure PS1 in the internal port 35 is applied to a main check valve (MCV) 40.
- MCV main check valve
- This valve has a small stem 41 that rests in a guide 41a.
- the MCV may freely move up and down in response to the pressure differentials between the port 35 and the port 43, where the pressures are PS1 and PS2, respectively.
- the pump is turned on and the main valve 27 closes, moves towards position P1
- the MCV 40 is pushed upward when PS1 exceeds PS2, allowing the FU flow to pass through the MCV into the line 42 that extends to the cylinder 12. This happens as the bypass flow decreases.
- the resultant fluid flow displaces the car piston 11 upward, moving the car in the same direction.
- This actuator includes a rod 50a, which contacts the stem 41 when pushed upward; a first member 50b which is pushed upward against the rod; a second member 50c which when pushed upward moves the first member.
- the rod 50a is thrust upward, pushing the MCV 40 upward, when fluid, at pressure PS2, is applied to the inlet line 52, and that happens only when a LOWER signal is applied to the line 53 that goes to a solenoid control release valve 55.
- the fluid pressure in the line 52 is then applied to the bottom of the members (pistons) 50b, 50c.
- the combined surface area of those members is greater than the upper surface area 62 of the valve 40.
- the second member moves until it strikes the wall 50d of the chamber 50e.
- the first member also moves with the second member because of the flange 50f.
- This small motion (as far as the wall 50d) "cracks" open the MCV 40, equalizing the pressures PS1 and PS2. Then the first member continues to move upward, until it too strikes the wall, fully opening the MCV 40.
- the FD flow through line 25 is blocked by the check valve 6.
- the position of the valve 27 determines the rate of the FD flow, thus the speed profile of the car as it descends.
- the valve is moved from the closed P1 position by the SPEED signal towards the open position P2. The duration and frequency of the SPEED signal sets the down velocity profile.
- switch 70 that is adjacent the MCV 40, and the upward motion of the MCV 40 causes the switch to operate. That operation provides a signal (CV) on the line 71 going to the PVC 17.
- the CV signal shows that the valve has moved in the up direction for elevator travel. It represents that the pressure in the chamber 35 has slightly exceeded the pressure in the chamber 43.
- the PVC may control the further motion of the valve spool by controlling the pulse rate and duration comprising the SPEED signal, which is applied to the line 29.
- the CV signal occurs just when the pressure of PS1 35 exceeds the pressure PS2, and that occurs just before there is actual flow. Generation of the CV signal consequently provides a definitive manifestation of "anticipated" flow.
- the stepper motor controlled valve 27 also provides a pressure release function for the port 35.
- the stepper motor 28 has an output link 28a, and a collar or ring 28b is attached to that link.
- the link and collar fit in a hollow portion of the valve 27 but separated from the flow area (windows 26a, 26b) by the valve wall 27a, which is opposite another wall 27b.
- the valve 27 is shaped like a hollow cylinder; fluid flows through its interior).
- a spring 28c fits between the wall 27b and the collar 28b.
- the change in flow is controlled by the smaller valve window area to outlet port 31, which reduces as the main valve begins to move towards the closed position at P1, at which all the FU flow passes from the port 25 to the inlet 35; there being no path between the port 25 and the outlet port 31.
- This link motion is transmitted to the wall 27a through the spring to the valve 27, which moves in synchronism with the link. If the pressure in the pump output line 21a is sufficient to open the pressure release valve (PRV), the pressure is applied to the top of the valve 27b and the entire valve 27 is forced down, allowing the flow from the pump to pass through the line 32, to the tank 5, to relieve the "overpressure" condition.
- PRV pressure release valve
- a manually operated valve 80 is operated to allow the fluid to flow from the chamber 43 directly back to the tank 5.
Description
- This invention concerns hydraulic valve control systems and is particularly, though not exclusively, useful in hydraulic elevators.
- In an attempt to control a hydraulic elevator with precision approximating the more sophisticated and usually more expensive traction elevators, feedback control is used. But, even using feedback control, comparable performance has been difficult to achieve, and the main problem is the dynamic characteristics of the fluid. Its viscosity shifts with the ambient temperature and also from the heating that occurs as the elevator car is raised and lowered. These variables produce some measure of unpredictability in the motion of the elevator car. The different levels of feedback that have been utilized are typically expensive and require excess pump capacity, which increases the cost and lowers system efficiency.
- A technique illustrating feedback is shown in U.S. Patent 4,205,592, where the flow through the valve and to an object, such as a hydraulic elevator, is passed through a flow meter that includes a potentiometer. As the flow increases, the output voltage associated with the motion of the potentiometer wiper changes, manifesting the magnitude of the flow. U.S. Patent 4,381,699 shows a similar type of valve control.
- U.S. Patent 4,418,794 is illustrative of the type of valve that may be used in systems that do not sense the fluid flow but, using a larger feedback loop, perhaps sense the position of the elevator car and control the operation of the valve.
- U.S. Patent 3,977,497 discloses a hydraulic elevator drive system which controls the movement of the elevator car by controlling the fluid flow in accordance with a car speed signal and a commanded velocity signal. The fluid control includes a combined check and lowering valve and a by-pass valve.
- Although the invention described herein was made in connection with hydraulic valve controls in elevators and is described, for convenience, in that context, the invention may be useful in other systems having similar control requirements.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a hydraulic control system comprising:
a main inlet (25) adapted for connection to a pump (21);
a main outlet (43) adapted for connection to an actuator comprising a piston (11) and a cylinder (12);
a secondary outlet (31) adapted for connection to a fluid tank (5);
a flow control valve (27) for controlling fluid flow from the main inlet to the main outlet;
the flow control valve being continuously movable between two positions to control progressively, from a minimum to a maximum equalling the pump output, the flow between the main inlet and the main outlet or discharge from the main outlet to the tank, at one position the main inlet and secondary outlet being connected, at the other position the main inlet and the main outlet being connected and the main inlet and secondary outlet being disconnected;
a motor (28) for moving the valve linearly in discrete steps;
the hydraulic control system being characterized by having:
a resilient member (28c) interconnecting the motor and the valve;
the motor applying force through the resilient member to move the valve to said one position and to hold the valve in any position against the pressure on the valve by the fluid in the main outlet from the main outlet; and
a pressure operated valve (PRV) connected to the pump output and the flow control valve (27);
According to the invention, the pressure differential that arises when the output pump pressure just exceeds the pressure required to hold the car in place is sensed from the motion of a check valve across which the pump pressure and car pressure are oppositely applied. Movement of the check valve to an open position at which the car will just about start to move is detected by an electrical switch that produces an electrical control signal that is applied to the main valve control. That control signal acts as the starting point for main valve programmed positioning that determines the velocity profile of the elevator car when the car is moved up. - According to the invention, the connection between the motor and the valve is through a resilient coupling, such as a spring. This connection allows the valve to be moved to bypass fluid flow from the pump back to the tank when the valve is in a position in which all the pump output is directed by the valve to the actuator. A pressure release valve is operated when the pump pressure exceeds a certain level, and that operation applies fluid under pressure to the valve, which, in response, moves against the resilient coupling to connect the pump output to the tank. This valve operation relieves the pump pressure.
- There are many features to the present invention. Most significant, it provides very precise performance because the fluid and load characteristics may control the operation of the valve. Yet, it is simple and reliable because feedback is used selectively to adjust for those characteristics. For the most part, the valve flow is controlled without feedback.
- The drawing is a schematic view showing by way of example only a hydraulic elevator control system embodying the present invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a hydraulic elevator control system for moving an
elevator car 10 between a plurality of floors or landings. The floors or landings are not shown. The car is attached to a car piston (plunger) 11 that extends from acylinder 12, and fluid is pumped into or discharged from the cylinder to raise and lower the car respectively, that flow being controlled and regulated in a manner that will be described in detail. The motion of the car is detected by apickup 13. Associated with astationary position tape 14, the pickup provides a signal (POSITION) online 15, that is supplied to a pump and valve control (PVC) 17. The POSITION signal manifests the car position and velocity. The position of the car thus sensed is used for controlling the flow of fluid to and from the cylinder, controlling the position of the car piston or plunger 11. ThePVC 17 controls a hydraulic valve system that includes apump 21 and a fluid reservoir (tank) S. The pump supplies fluid to a hydraulic control valve assembly A through a check valve 6 (to prevent back flow), and this assembly is controlled, along with the pump, by thePVC 17. The pump is turned on or off (activated/deactivated) by a pump on/off signal on aline 22, and the fluid from the pump is applied under pressure through the check valve 6 to afirst port 25. - The
port 25 leads to a "key-shaped" valve window 26 that is part of alinear valve 27, one that moves back and forth linearly between two positions P1, P2. The position of thevalve 27 is controlled by astepper motor 28 which receives a signal (SPEED) on theline 20 from thePVC 17. That signal comprises successive pulses, and the frequency of those pulses determines the motor's 28 speed; hence also the longitudinal (see arrow A1) rate of positioning of thevalve 27. Each pulse in the SPEED signal represents an incremental distance along the length of motion of thevalve 27 between points P1 and P2. The position (location) of the valve is represented by the accumulated count between those positions. The valve window 26 comprises alarge window 26a and an adjacentnarrower window 26b, giving it a "key-shaped" appearance. At one point, P2, thelarge window 26a is adjacent thefirst inlet port 25, and the narroweradjacent portion 26b is located next to a second port 31. At this point, thevalve 27 is "open". That second port 31 leads to aline 32 that goes to the tank 5. At position P1, thesmall window 26b is mostly adjacent to theport 25, and the path to the port 31 is blocked by the solid part of the valve. At that position, thevalve 27 is "closed". In the open position, at P2, fluid flows from the pump through theline 24; this is "flow-up" (FU), flow to raise the car. The fluid then passes into thelarge window 26a and, from there, through thesmall window 26b back to theline 32, then to the tank. The FU flow is thus bypassed when the pump is started. But, as thevalve 27 closes (moves to position P1), the pressure of the FU fluid flow begins to build in aninternal port 35, while the bypass flow online 32 decreases as the path throughwindow 26b to port 31 decreases. As thevalve 27 moves to position P1 (nonbypass position), there is some overlap of the twowindows main inlet port 25, meaning that the path through thelarge window 26a decreases, while the path through thesmaller window 26b increases. But, the area of thesmaller window 26b is more dependent than with the case of the larger window on the longitudinal position of thevalve 27. As a result of this, the change in flow is controlled by the smaller valve window area to outlet port 31, which reduces as the main valve begins to move towards the closed position at P1, at which all the FU flow passes from theport 25 to theinlet 35; there being no path between theport 25 and the outlet port 31. - The fluid pressure PS1 in the
internal port 35 is applied to a main check valve (MCV) 40. This valve has asmall stem 41 that rests in a guide 41a. The MCV may freely move up and down in response to the pressure differentials between theport 35 and theport 43, where the pressures are PS1 and PS2, respectively. When the pump is turned on and themain valve 27 closes, moves towards position P1, the MCV 40 is pushed upward when PS1 exceeds PS2, allowing the FU flow to pass through the MCV into theline 42 that extends to thecylinder 12. This happens as the bypass flow decreases. The resultant fluid flow displaces the car piston 11 upward, moving the car in the same direction. - When the
car 10 is at rest, pressure in theline 42 and the pressure in thechamber 43 are the same, pressure PS2. With thepump 21 off, this pressure pushes the MCV 40 down, and the down flow (FD) in theline 42 is then blocked, holding thecar 10 in position. No flow through theline 42 and back to the tank 5 is possible under this condition. To allow this flow to occur, the MCV 40 must be lifted, and this is effected by the operation of a maincheck valve actuator 50. - This actuator includes a
rod 50a, which contacts thestem 41 when pushed upward; afirst member 50b which is pushed upward against the rod; asecond member 50c which when pushed upward moves the first member. Therod 50a is thrust upward, pushing the MCV 40 upward, when fluid, at pressure PS2, is applied to theinlet line 52, and that happens only when a LOWER signal is applied to theline 53 that goes to a solenoidcontrol release valve 55. The fluid pressure in theline 52 is then applied to the bottom of the members (pistons) 50b, 50c. The combined surface area of those members is greater than the upper surface area 62 of the valve 40. The second member moves until it strikes thewall 50d of thechamber 50e. The first member also moves with the second member because of theflange 50f. This small motion (as far as thewall 50d) "cracks" open the MCV 40, equalizing the pressures PS1 and PS2. Then the first member continues to move upward, until it too strikes the wall, fully opening the MCV 40. This allows return flow (FD) from thechamber 35 that passes through thewindows line 32. The FD flow throughline 25 is blocked by the check valve 6. The position of thevalve 27 determines the rate of the FD flow, thus the speed profile of the car as it descends. The valve is moved from the closed P1 position by the SPEED signal towards the open position P2. The duration and frequency of the SPEED signal sets the down velocity profile. - There is
switch 70 that is adjacent the MCV 40, and the upward motion of the MCV 40 causes the switch to operate. That operation provides a signal (CV) on theline 71 going to thePVC 17. The CV signal shows that the valve has moved in the up direction for elevator travel. It represents that the pressure in thechamber 35 has slightly exceeded the pressure in thechamber 43. Using this signal, the PVC may control the further motion of the valve spool by controlling the pulse rate and duration comprising the SPEED signal, which is applied to the line 29. The CV signal occurs just when the pressure ofPS1 35 exceeds the pressure PS2, and that occurs just before there is actual flow. Generation of the CV signal consequently provides a definitive manifestation of "anticipated" flow. - The stepper motor controlled
valve 27 also provides a pressure release function for theport 35. Thestepper motor 28 has an output link 28a, and a collar or ring 28b is attached to that link. The link and collar fit in a hollow portion of thevalve 27 but separated from the flow area (windows valve wall 27a, which is opposite another wall 27b. (Thevalve 27 is shaped like a hollow cylinder; fluid flows through its interior). Aspring 28c fits between the wall 27b and the collar 28b. As the stepper motor operates, the link moves up or down, in steps corresponding to the steps in the SPEED signal. As a result of this, the change in flow is controlled by the smaller valve window area to outlet port 31, which reduces as the main valve begins to move towards the closed position at P1, at which all the FU flow passes from theport 25 to theinlet 35; there being no path between theport 25 and the outlet port 31. This link motion is transmitted to thewall 27a through the spring to thevalve 27, which moves in synchronism with the link. If the pressure in the pump output line 21a is sufficient to open the pressure release valve (PRV), the pressure is applied to the top of the valve 27b and theentire valve 27 is forced down, allowing the flow from the pump to pass through theline 32, to the tank 5, to relieve the "overpressure" condition. - For manually lowering the car, a manually operated
valve 80 is operated to allow the fluid to flow from thechamber 43 directly back to the tank 5. - The preferred embodiment of the invention has been described, and one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention relates may make modifications and variations to that embodiment, in whole or part, without departing from the true scope of the invention.
