Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multiple subbase, for the distribution of compressed air to a set of pneumatic valves according to the preamble of claim 1 and known from EP-A-0 389 777, which may be obtained by simple machining operations from an extruded section bar in aluminium or another material suitable for its construction and use. More particularly the invention is aimed at a multiple subbase which can be made from an extruded section bar both in the form of a single block and component elements, obtained by simple cutting operations from a same section bar.
- known subbases have a solid structure body in which tubular ducts are formed for supplying and discharging pressurised air respectively, as well as the necessary passages for connection to the individual electropneumatic valves which are assembled on each occasion on the subbase.
- the main object of the present invention is therefore to provide a subbase for electropneumatic valves which is suitable for reducing the problems of noise pollution in traditional subbases.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a subbase of the kind mentioned above, which is economical to manufacture and relatively low in weight, as well as provided with large air exhaust ducts, without thereby increasing the overall dimensions of the subbase itself.
- Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a multiple subbase as referred above, which can be made in one block or in modular component elements from a same extruded section bar.
- the subbase denoted as a whole by reference 10, comprises a hollow body 11 obtained from an extruded section bar which is cut to the appropriate dimensions.
- the body 11 of the subbase can be made either in the form of a single block or composed of a plurality of modular elements, as schematically indicated by the sectioning lines 12 in figures 1 and 2.
- the body 11 of the subbase is provided with an upper flat surface 11' on which electropneumatic valves 13 ( Figure 2) are appropriately attached and which form part of a pneumatic system for the supply of compressed air from a single supply source (not shown) towards user points or equipment.
- the subbase 10 comprises an air feeding central duct 14 longitudinally extending for the entire length of the subbase to form a sort of air distributor for the supply of compressed air to the various pneumatic valves 13, through respective supply ports or passages 15 which open towards the upper flat surface 11' of the subbase.
- the subbase 10 also comprises at least one, and preferably two lateral exhaust ducts 16 and 17 which extend parallel to and on both sides of the central duct 14 for the entire length of the subbase.
- Each of said exhaust ducts 16 and 17, as clearly indicated by the sectional view of figure 3, has a cross sectional area which is comparatively larger than the cross sectional area of the compressed air supply duct 14 in order to reduce the problems of clogging at the same time lightening the structure of the subbase without jeopardising its solidity.
- the various pneumatic valves are connected to the user points by means of respective branched of passages 20, 21 which on one side open onto the upper surface 11' of the subbase, while on the other side they lead to fittings 26, 27 which connect the user points, via ducts 24 and 25 obtained by means of suitable cartridges airtightly fitted in the body 11 of the subbase.
- 34 and 35 denote the exhaust ports for the valves, which open onto the surface 11' for attachment of the valves 13, and towards the corresponding air exhaust ducts 16, 17 respectively.
- the subbase 10 has at each end a closure head member 28 appropriately fastened by screwes to the body 10 and provided with connectors 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 for the various ducts for the supply and discharge of air in and from the subbase.
- the air supply duct 14 and exhaust ducts 16, 17 are substantially defined by flat walls or portions of flat walls which allow optimum distribution of the vaid and of the solid parts, permitting a compact and solid, yet at the same time lightweight, structure of the subbase. More precisely, the central duct 14 for the supply of the compressed air has a cross section with a substantially rectangular shape, whose main axis develops orthogonally to the flat surface 11' for attachment of the pneumatic valves.
- the central duct 14 for supplying pressurised air to the various pneumatic valves 13 must be calculated with a sufficient cross sectional area for guaranteeing the maximum flow rate of air required for the subbase, reducing refilling losses to a minimum.
- the subbase according to the invention is provided with exhaust ducts 16, 17 which are large in size, having an area of their cross section which is considerably larger than that of the central duct 14 for supplying pressurised air.
- the two lateral exhaust ducts 16, 17 must have an area of their cross section which is equal to or greater than double the area of the cross section of the central duct 14 for supplying air.
- the area of the lateral ducts is equal to approximately four times that of the central duct 14.
- each exhaust duct 16 and 17, on the side turned towards the plane 11' for attachment of the pneumatic valves opens towards a noise dampening chamber 16' and 17' respectively for housing an air filtering member 36, 37 or another suitable noise dampening means, which extends parallel throughout the length of the duct itself.
- each filtering member 36, 37 is positioned at the exhaust ports 34, 35 of the valves, that is to say at or near the zone of maximum noise generation. In this way direct communication between the air outlets of the various pneumatic valves and the exhaust ducts 16, 17 of the subbase is avoided.
- each filtering member 36, 37 may vary in relation to what is shown nevertheless, advantageously, each filtering member 36, 37 may be housed removably by providing in each duct 16, 17 appropriate support means for the filtering members, consisting for example of projections 38 and 39 which extend inside each channel, as shown.
- one of the projections, for example projection 38 may be made with a C-shaped configuration during the extrusion of the section bar, to allow the passage of suitable tie rods in the case wherein the subbase is obtained by composing several modular units 12, as specified at the beginning.
- filters 36 and 37 will be used consisting substantially of bars of a length equal to that of the subbase itself, whereas in the case of subbases made with modular units, individual filters 36 and 37 have to be provided, having the same length as each module of the subbase.
- Each subbase be it constructed enbloc or in several component modules, is provided with end heads 28 for joining to external pipes.
- An embodiment of an end head 28 is shown in figures 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings.
- each head 28 is closed by a front wall in which the various connecting holes are formed, and has an external outline which is identical to that of the body of the subbase.
- Each head 28 also has, on the side intended to come into contact with the opposite end of the subbase, cavities 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44 which adapt substantially to the shape and dimensions of the air supply and exhaust ducts 14, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the subbase.
- Each cavity of the head 28 also communicates with the connecting holes for the passage of air, denoted by 14a, 16a, 17a, 18a and 19a respectively in figures 4 and 5.
- each head 28 is provided with a filtering element 40a (only one is shown) for a further dampening of noise.
- the filtering element 40a follows substantially the boundaries of the chamber 40, having a recess 40b at the position of the C-shaped projection 38 for the possible passage of tie rods inside the subbase. In this way two levels of noise dampening are obtained; moreover the entire subbase, complete with end heads, has a "clean" outer appearance and profile without external tie rods or projections of any type.
- a suitable seal has to be placed between one element and the next one in order to avoid air leakges in the ducts intended to carry pressurised air, such as the supply duct 14 and any ducts 18 and 19 for the pilot valves.
- the seal 45 at the edges of the holes 114, 118 and 119 intended to carry pressurised fluid, is provided with enlarged annular lips 46 bordered by plane and slanting lateral walls, which diverge and slightly protrude inwards in the duct.
- the lip 46 also extends between the adjacent bodies 12a and 12b of two adjoining modular elements of the subbase with an annular band 47 of increased thickness compared to the thickness of the seal 45.
- the seal 45 may be provided with cross-fins 48 projecting on one or both sides along specific portions of the edges of the openings 116 and 177 referred to previously.
