Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear unit with a cylinder, a pressure medium-actuated piston running in a bore of the cylinder, a slide running on the cylinder, a belt connecting the piston to the slide and guided via deflection means on heads of the cylinder, and with valves screwed into the heads for supplying and removing pressure medium into the bore on both sides of the piston.
  • a linear unit of the type mentioned above is known from DE-A 37 41 425.
  • the known linear units have the disadvantage in common that the electrical connection and the pressure medium connection (usually a pneumatic connection) are each rigidly specified, that is, the circumferential position of the pressure medium connection and the electrical connection is also specified by the final installation position of the inserted or screwed-in valve. In this way, it is only possible with the known linear units, these connections in a certain Direction from the valves.
  • the necessary cables and hoses have to be routed to central units, for example to a central unit of a handling system, of which the linear unit is a part. If this central unit is now in the opposite direction, the cable or the hose must be bent out of the peripheral position determined by the installation position of the valve in the opposite direction and guided to the central unit.
  • a solenoid valve is known (DE-A1-33 38 418) with a pressure medium supply connection, a pressure medium connection and a relief connection.
  • the solenoid valve also has a valve body on which one of the two pressure medium connections is provided.
  • This known solenoid valve is aimed at the task of adapting to the various conceivable conditions and connection geometries in a flexible manner in a compact design.
  • the valve body is designed as a circular cylindrical sleeve
  • the adjusting member is designed as a valve cartridge which is mounted in the interior of the sleeve.
  • a pivoting part forming the connection body is rotatably mounted around the longitudinal axis of the sleeve, which consists of a ring that cannot be lost on the sleeve and a radially projecting connection piece as one of the two pressure medium connections.
  • an annular pressure medium space is provided between the sleeve and the swivel part.
  • the valve cartridge has its own pressure medium channels, through which the two working connections, namely the pressure medium supply connection and the pressure medium connection, are connected to one another when the switch position is appropriate. Pressure valve channels must run through the valve cartridge. In its two switching positions, the valve cartridge sets the flow path between the pressure medium supply connection and one of the other two Connections ready.
  • the valve cartridge as an adjusting element is a central element of the solenoid valve, which is traversed by pressure medium channels for the production of the flow paths. This nested design still has a larger diameter, although the compactness of the solenoid valve seems to allow an unprecedented degree of miniaturization.
  • valve body and valve cartridge are integrated into one another and nested, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 3 of the drawings of DE-A1-33 38 418. It is also immediately obvious that this compact design requires a certain configuration of the valve cartridge. However, such a design is not always desirable. It is also possible to design a miniaturized solenoid valve without the nested design.
  • valves each have a swivel screw connection and a cartridge part rotatably connected to the swivel screw connection and are screwed into the heads by means of the swivel screw connections, that in each case a valve seat is integrated in the swivel screw connections and that at least one pressure medium connection goes off the swivel screw connection .
  • a swivel screw connection with an integrated pressure medium connection has the advantage that the pressure medium connection can be rotated through 360 ° around the longitudinal axis of the valve, so that the pressure medium line, which is particularly critical in this regard, can be exactly aligned in its outgoing direction so that it can be led to the central unit in the shortest possible way.
  • the use of the swivel screw connection with an integrated valve seat also has the advantage that the swivel screw connection also serves as an adapter, which can be screwed into the corresponding threaded bore of the cylinder heads with a single defined thread, but on the other hand allows the attachment of a large number of valve types. Depending on the application of the linear unit, it is therefore possible to use different valves without changing the design of the cylinder heads by placing different valves on the integrated seat of the swivel screw connection as required.
  • a further pressure medium connection is used to discharge the pressure medium, and this can preferably be provided with a throttle or a silencer.
  • a throttle allows the travel speed of the piston to be adjusted, and the provision of a silencer permits low-noise operation.
  • an embodiment of the invention is particularly preferred in which a switch box for the electronic supply and for pressure medium supply of the valves is arranged on the cylinder, the switch box being connected to a central unit via an electrical connection cable and a supply hose.
  • the switch box on the cylinder also has the advantage that it has display elements for checking the function of the valves and / or control elements such as proximity switches and the like. Like. Can contain, supply and control. Overall, this results in an extremely compact construction of the linear unit with a minimum of cabling and tubing.
  • 10 overall designates a linear unit of a conventional type, which is provided with a cylinder head 11 at each end.
  • valve 15 that can be screwed into the cylinder head 11.
  • the valve 15 is divided into a cartridge part 16 and a swivel screw connection 17.
  • the cartridge part 16 has a housing 20 which is attached on its underside by means of an upper rotary connection 21 to an associated rotary connection 22 of the swivel screw connection 17.
  • the housing 20 ends in an upper valve seat 23, which is part of a flange 24.
  • a lower valve seat 25 is integrated in the swivel screw connection 17.
  • the swivel screw connection 17 is connected to the cylinder head 11 via a lower rotary connection 26.
  • the rotary connections 21, 22, 26 can be fixed by means of screw connections, for example union nuts, but this is not shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity.
  • the rotary connections 21, 22 and 26 open up the possibility of rotating the swivel screw connection 17, as indicated by an arrow 27, about the longitudinal axis of the valve 15, specifically relative to the cartridge part 16 and the cylinder head 11.
  • the cartridge part 16 comprises a closure member 30 in the form of a movable magnet armature, which can be deflected in the axial direction by means of a magnet coil 31, specifically against the force of a spring.
  • a first pressure medium connection 32 extends radially laterally from the swivel screw connection 17 and permits the inflow of a pressure medium, for example compressed air, as with indicated by an arrow 33.
  • a second pressure medium connection 34 goes downwards from the swivel screw connection 17 through the lower rotary connection 26 and allows pressure medium to be introduced into or released from the cylinder head 11, as indicated by an arrow 35.
  • a third pressure medium connection 36 is finally formed by the already mentioned flange 24 in order to discharge pressure medium, as indicated by an arrow 37.
  • valve 15 'shown in FIG. 2 the design corresponds completely to that of FIG. 1.
  • a further swivel screw connection 40 is connected to the flange 24 at the upper end of the housing 20 in order to enable the exhaust air to be collected and also to be able to connect a hose for removing the exhaust air from any circumferential position. This is possible because, as indicated by an arrow 41, the swivel screw connection 40 can be swiveled relative to the housing 20.
  • valves 15 For example pressure servo valves or directional servo valves or other valve types or also different valve sizes.
  • Fig. 2 finally shows with 43 a connecting cable that serves to supply the solenoid 31.
  • a cylinder 50 has a cylinder bore 51 in which a piston 52 runs.
  • the piston 52 is connected on both ends to a flexible band, rope or the like, which is guided through both cylinder heads 11a, 11b by means of seals and is guided again to the outside of the cylinder 50 by means of deflection means 54a, 54b, in particular rollers.
  • the band 53 is connected to a carriage 55, which consequently runs counter to the piston 52 on the outside of the cylinder 50.
  • a switch box 60 is also arranged on the outside of the cylinder 50, for example on half the axial length of the cylinder 50, which is shown only schematically in FIG. 3, but not necessarily to scale.
  • proximity switches 70 can be seen, which can be provided on the linear unit 10 in order to recognize end positions of the slide 55, in order to avoid collisions of the linear unit 10 with other units of a handling system, etc.
  • the proximity switches 70 are in this case Power supply of the valves 15a, 15b connected and transmit their measurement signals via the supply cable 65 to the central unit 66.
  • the silencers 56a, 56b can also be seen downstream of the throttles 57a, 57b, alternatively indicated by dash-dotted lines at 71, the possibility of collecting the exhaust air and removing it altogether via the switch box 60.
