Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device for a throttle device of an internal combustion engine, in particular for idling control, with a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive actuator acting on the throttle device via a transmission element.
  • Throttle devices or throttle valves of internal combustion engines are actuated in various ways in the known prior art.
  • an operator can act directly on a lever attached to the throttle valve axis via a cable or linkage, the throttle valve being reset to its closed position mostly via a spring element.
  • an electromotive actuation of a throttle valve is also known. It is also known to set the so-called idle point of the internal combustion engine also by an electric motor by corresponding actuation of the throttle valve.
  • the throttle valve is only opened to such an extent that the internal combustion engine with the desired one Idling speed is running.
  • an electric motor-operated throttle valve actuator for idle control cf.
  • throttle valve actuators actuated by negative pressure have also become known, for example from DE-OS 38 42 397.
  • Such throttle valve actuators actuated by negative pressure However, they operate relatively imprecisely and additionally with a high time delay, while throttle valve actuators operated by electric motors require a high level of construction and cost and also require a large amount of installation space.
  • piezo bimorph disks can also be spatially connected in series, thereby forming several hydraulic individual chambers. Considered individually, only a small change in volume is achieved, but in total, a sufficient change in volume can be achieved when all piezo elements are actuated. Utilizing the hydraulic transmission, such a transmission element requires only a relatively small installation space, so that it is possible to attach this pressure cell in particular with its frame to the throttle valve socket receiving the throttle valve, as the exemplary embodiment explained later shows in more detail.
  • the transmission element is designed as a vocational step transmission, which is actuated in particular by high-performance piezo-oxide actuators.
  • a vocational step transmission which is actuated in particular by high-performance piezo-oxide actuators.
  • Such a vocational gearbox virtually integrates a large number of individual movements of a piezo element in one direction.
  • this embodiment can also only be used for idle control.
  • two piezo oxide actuators can act in mirror image on an actuating cylinder, which in turn forms the so-called throttle valve actuator and is thus arranged coaxially rotatable with respect to the throttle valve axis. If the throttle valve is to be opened, the first piezo-oxide actuator is actuated while the second actuator is lifted from the actuating cylinder; if the throttle valve is to be actuated in the closing direction, the second actuator is acted upon and the first actuator is lifted from the actuating cylinder.
  • a lifting magnet can be provided in each case, which counteracts a compression spring that presses the moving stamp of the piezo actuators against the actuating cylinder.
  • Reference number 1 denotes a throttle valve assembly of an internal combustion engine.
  • a throttle valve 3 is rotatably supported via the axis 2.
  • this throttle valve is operated as is known, i.e. on the throttle valve axis 2, two sheaves 4 are fastened, which accommodate the cables.
  • a return spring 5 which tends to move the throttle valve 3 into its closed position.
  • the rope pulley 4 is supported when the throttle valve 3 is closed on a shoulder 6a of an actuating cylinder 6 which is rotatable coaxially to the throttle valve axis 2.
  • This paragraph 6a is also referred to as the stop of the actuating cylinder 6, also referred to as the throttle valve actuator. If the actuating cylinder is thus rotated slightly in the direction of the arrow 7 in FIG. 2, the throttle valve 3 is opened slightly; a rotation against the direction of arrow 7 causes the throttle valve to close at least slightly.
  • the idle control of the internal combustion engine can also be carried out by rotating the actuating cylinder 6.
  • the moving punches 8a of two high-performance piezo-oxide actuators 8 act essentially tangentially on the wall of the actuating cylinder 6.
  • Such so-called PXE actuators are offered by Philipps-Valvo and are able to perform deflections of up to 100 micrometers in the millisecond range.
  • the moving pistons 8a of the actuators 8 are pressed against the wall of the actuating cylinder 6 by a compression spring 9 each.
  • a driving pin 10 which can be acted upon by a lifting magnet 11 in such a way that when this lifting magnet 11 is excited, the plunger 8a of the actuator 8 is lifted off the wall of the actuating cylinder 6.
  • the actuating cylinder 6 is thus rotated slightly according to arrow 7.
  • This right-hand piezo actuator 8 is then acted on in the opposite direction, ie the plunger performs a micro movement in the opposite direction of the arrow 12.
  • the right-hand piezo actuator 8 is then electrically acted upon again analogously to the first actuation, so that the plunger 8a again moves in the direction of the arrow 12.
  • the described actuating device for the throttle valve 3, consisting of the high-performance piezo-oxide actuators 8 as the piezoelectric actuator and a so-called mit step transmission as the transmission element, can be structurally attached in a simple manner to a throttle valve connector 1 of an internal combustion engine. All that is required for this is the retaining bracket designated with the reference number 13.
  • the space requirement of this actuating device is extremely small, moreover, as already explained at the beginning, this actuating device has the advantages of high precision and minimal time delay. Explicitly pointed out should be that with the help of such an actuating device not only the idle control can be realized on a throttle valve, but the entire actuation of the throttle valve can take place over the entire operating range of the internal combustion engine.
  • the piezoelectric actuator is designed as a so-called piezo-hydraulic pressure cell 20, while the transmission element is essentially formed by a cylinder-piston unit 21.
  • the same components as in Figures 1, 2 are also designated here with the same reference numerals.
  • the piezohydraulic pressure cell 20 which is shown in detail in particular in FIG. 5, consists of a cube-shaped frame 22, the side surfaces of which have circular openings 23. Each opening 23 is covered by a piezo bimorph disk 24. This pressure cell is completely filled with a suitable hydraulic fluid.
  • the piezo bimorph disks 24, which are also referred to as PXE bending elements (membranes), are described in more detail, for example, in Philipp's manual "Piezoxides - Properties and Applications" and have the property of changing their shape when subjected to electrical voltage, that a change in volume occurs.
  • this change in pressure and volume is caused by the designed as a cylinder-piston unit 21 transfer member.
  • the numerical values given in the paragraph above result in a positioning force of 9.3 N for a piston diameter of 2.2 mm and an achievable stroke of 10 mm. Since the piston of the cylinder-piston unit 21 acts on the stop of the throttle valve actuator or on the shoulder 6a of the actuating cylinder 6, the throttle valve can also be actuated by this, as desired, in particular for idling control.
  • FIG. 5 shows support rings 26 arranged between the piezo bimorph discs 24 and the frame 22.
  • the piezo bimorph discs 24 are soldered or glued to these support rings 26; the same connection technology is available between the support rings 26 and the frame 22.
  • a bellows 27 which is completely against the sides thereof and thus also completely against the piezo bimorph disks 24 is also provided within this pressure cell 20.
  • this embodiment shown is only a preferred embodiment; In addition, there are of course a variety of other designs possible.
