Description

L'invention concerne les groupes électro-hydrauliques dans lesquels un moteur électrique entraíne une pompe hydraulique pour l'alimentation de circuits d'utilisation divers.The invention relates to electro-hydraulic groups in which an electric motor drives a hydraulic pump for supplying various use circuits.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un groupe électro-hydraulique destiné à alimenter des récepteurs hydrauliques du genre de ceux qui sont utilisés dans l'industrie automobile et notamment pour l'assistance de la direction de ces véhicules.The invention relates more particularly to an electro-hydraulic group intended to supply hydraulic receivers of the kind used in the automotive industry and in particular for the assistance of the management of these vehicles.

La réalisation de l'invention concerne plus particulièrement encore des groupes dits compacts qui sont des groupes étanches dans lesquels l'ensemble, pompe hydraulique et moteur, est contenu dans une enveloppe étanche servant également de réservoir de fluide.The realization of the invention relates more particularly still so-called compact groups which are sealed groups in which the assembly, hydraulic pump and motor, is contained in a waterproof envelope also serving as fluid reservoir.

Il est apparu pour permettre une mise en place facile dans des véhicules automobiles que l'ensemble hydraulique devait être rendu aussi étroit que possible pour pouvoir être logé dans une enveloppe de faible volume pouvant être montée facilement dans des emplacements exigus laissés libres sous un capot de moteur de véhicule.It appeared to allow easy installation in motor vehicles that the hydraulic system had to be made as narrow as possible so that it can be accommodated in a small volume enclosure that can be easily mounted in cramped spaces left free under a vehicle engine hood.

En outre, l'invention vise a réduire, voir a annihiler, les bruits résultant du fonctionnement d'un groupe électro-hydraulique et prévoit qu'en cas de panne du circuit électrique du véhicule la présence du groupe de commande électro-hydraulique n'empêche pas la manoeuvre libre du circuit asservi, notamment du circuit de direction du véhicule.In addition, the invention aims to reduce, even annihilate, the noises resulting from the operation of an electro-hydraulic group and provides that in the event of an electrical circuit failure of the vehicle the presence of the electro-hydraulic control group does not prevent free circuit maneuvering servo-controlled, in particular of the vehicle's steering circuit.

Conformément à l'invention, celle-ci comporte le groupe électro-hydraulique compact dans lequel un moteur électrique entraíne une pompe hydraulique dont le corps de pompe comporte des cavités d'amortissement des ondes sonores entourant partiellement au moins la cavité contenant les pignons de la pompe, certaines au moins des cavités d'amortissement communiquant, par une face latérale du corps de pompe, avec une chambre d'un couvercle menant à un raccord du circuit d'utilisation.In accordance with the invention, this comprises the electro-hydraulic group compact in which an electric motor drives a pump hydraulics with pump housings damping sound waves partially surrounding the minus the cavity containing the pump pinions, at least some of the communicating damping cavities, by a side face of the pump body, with a chamber a cover leading to a connection of the operating circuit.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit.Various other features of the invention emerge moreover from the detailed description which follows.

Des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention sont représentées, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, au dessin annexés.Embodiments of the object of the invention are shown, by way of nonlimiting examples, in the drawing attached.

La fig. 1 est une coupe-élévation partielle en partie schématique du groupe électro-hydraulique compact de l'invention, la coupe étant prise suivant la ligne I-I de la fig.4 .Fig. 1 is a partially schematic partial elevation section of the compact electro-hydraulic group of the invention, the section being taken along line I-I of fig. 4.

La fig. 2 est une coupe, analogue à la fig. 1, mais vue suivant la ligne II-II de la fig. 4.Fig. 2 is a section, similar to FIG. 1, but next view line II-II of fig. 4.

La fig. 3 est une coupe analogue aux figures précédentes mais prise suivant la ligne III-III de la fig. 4.Fig. 3 is a section similar to the previous figures but taken along line III-III of fig. 4.

La fig. 4 est une coupe vue selon la ligne IV-IV de la fig. 1.Fig. 4 is a section seen along line IV-IV of FIG. 1.

La fig. 5 est une coupe vue sensiblement suivant le plan V de la fig. 1.Fig. 5 is a section seen substantially along the plane V of fig. 1.

La fig. 6 est une vue analogue à la fig. 5 mais illustrant une caractéristique supplémentaire de l'invention.Fig. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 but illustrating an additional feature of the invention.

La fig. 7 est une coupe-élévation partielle analogue à la fig. 3 de la pompe du groupe électro-hydraulique illustant un développement de l'invention. Fig. 7 is a partial sectional elevation similar to the fig. 3 of the electro-hydraulic group pump illustrating a development of the invention.

Le groupe moto-pompe comprend un moteur électrique 1 dont seule l'enveloppe est silhouettée et une pompe hydraulique 2 dont l'arbre d'entrée 3 est entraíné par le moteur 1 au moyen d'un accouplement 4.The motor-pump unit includes an electric motor 1 of which only the envelope is silhouetted and a hydraulic pump 2 whose input shaft 3 is driven by the motor 1 by means a coupling 4.

L'arbre d'entrée 3 de même que l'arbre mené 5 de la pompe 2 sont montés dans des paliers 6, 7 déplaçables par rapport aux arbres 3 et 5 ci-dessus par un dispositif dit de compensation hydrostatique dont seules des garnitures 8 sont représentées.The input shaft 3 as well as the driven shaft 5 of the pump 2 are mounted in bearings 6, 7 movable relative to the trees 3 and 5 above by a so-called compensation device hydrostatic of which only fittings 8 are shown.

Les dispositifs de compensation hydrostatiques étant bien connus dans la technique des pompes et moteurs hydrauliques ne sont pas décrits plus en détail dans la présente description.The hydrostatic compensation devices being good known in the art of hydraulic pumps and motors are not described in more detail in the present description.

Les arbres 3 et 5 sont munis de pignons en prise 9, 10 logés dans une cavité 11 du corps de pompe 12.Shafts 3 and 5 are fitted with pinions 9, 10 housed in a cavity 11 of the pump body 12.

Le corps de pompe 12 est réalisé en une seule pièce, par exemple en alliage d'aluminium, et présente, de part et d'autre de la cavité 11, deux trous traversants 13, 14 pour la mise en place de boulons de serrage 15 maintenant des joues latérales 16, 17 contre les deux faces du corps de pompe 12, c'est-à-dire assurant la cohésion de la pompe en dehors de l'assemblage de cette dernière au moteur.The pump body 12 is made in one piece, for example aluminum alloy, and present on both sides of the cavity 11, two through holes 13, 14 for placing in place of tightening bolts 15 holding side cheeks 16, 17 against the two faces of the pump body 12, that is to say ensuring the cohesion of the pump outside of the assembly of the latter to the engine.

Les joues latérales sont réalisées en matière à haut module d'élasticité, par exemple en acier, pour présenter une épaisseur aussi faible que possible compte tenu des efforts qu'elles doivent supporter.The side cheeks are made of high modulus material of elasticity, for example steel, to present a thickness as low as possible given the efforts that they have to endure.

La fig. 3 montre que les boulons de serrage 15 assurent la jonction non seulement des joues 16, 17 de part et d'autre du corps 12 ainsi que la fixation d'un couvercle 18 délimitant, en regard de la joue 17, une chambre 19 dans laquelle le fluide sous haute pression, refoulé par les pignons 9, 10, est amené à travers une lumière 20 de la joue 17.Fig. 3 shows that the tightening bolts 15 ensure the junction not only of the cheeks 16, 17 on either side of the body 12 as well as the fixing of a delimiting cover 18, opposite the cheek 17, a chamber 19 in which the fluid under high pressure, driven by the pinions 9, 10, is brought through a lumen 20 of the cheek 17.

La joue 16 maintenue par les boulons de serrage 15 est, par ailleurs, centrée sur le corps de pompe 12 par des pions 21 et la face libre de la joue 16 présente une couronne 22 faisant saillie, pour assurer le centrage du moteur 1 qui est fixé au corps de pompe 12 par des boulons 23 passés par des trous traversants 24 du corps 12, ces trous de même que les boulons étant bien visibles en particulier aux fig. 2, 5 et 6.The cheek 16 held by the clamping bolts 15 is, by elsewhere, centered on the pump body 12 by pins 21 and the free face of the cheek 16 has a crown 22 making projection, to ensure the centering of the motor 1 which is fixed to the pump body 12 by bolts 23 passed through through holes 24 of the body 12, these holes as well as the bolts being clearly visible in particular in fig. 2, 5 and 6.

Le corps de pompe 12 présente, entre la cavité 11 contenant les pignons 9, 10 et sa périphérie, un logement 25 le traversant de part en part dans lequel est disposée la cartouche 26 d'un clapet de surpression 27 (fig. 1) dont le piston 28 poussé par un ressort de tarage 29 est en communication par un alésage 30 avec la chambre 19 dans laquelle est refoulé le fluide sous haute pression.The pump body 12 has, between the cavity 11 containing the pinions 9, 10 and its periphery, a housing 25 passing through it right through in which the cartridge 26 is placed a pressure relief valve 27 (fig. 1) including the piston 28 pushed by a calibration spring 29 is in communication by a bore 30 with the chamber 19 in which the fluid under high pressure.

La fig. 1 montre que le clapet de surpression traverse la joue 17.Fig. 1 shows that the pressure relief valve crosses the plays 17.

Le piston 28 du clapet de surpression 27 commande l'ouverture de canaux de décharge 31 menant à l'intérieur de la cavité 25 qui est en communication avec l'intérieur d'une enveloppe 32 formant réservoir par l'intermédiaire d'une lumière 33 (fig. 1).The piston 28 of the pressure relief valve 27 controls the opening discharge channels 31 leading inside the cavity 25 which is in communication with the interior of an envelope 32 forming a reservoir via a light 33 (fig. 1).

Le corps de pompe 12 présente, dans sa face tournée vers la joue 17, des cavités telles que 34, 35 et 36 qui entourent la cavité 11 contenant les pignons 9, 10 de la pompe. Ces cavités, qui communiquent avec la chambre 19 de fluide sous haute pression, constituent des cavités assurant l'amortissement des ondes sonores générées par le fonctionnement de la pompe. The pump body 12 has, in its face facing the cheek 17, cavities such as 34, 35 and 36 which surround the cavity 11 containing the pinions 9, 10 of the pump. These cavities, which communicate with the chamber 19 of fluid under high pressure, constitute cavities ensuring damping sound waves generated by the operation of the pump.

Si on le désire, certaines au moins des cavités 34, 35, 36 peuvent être reliées ensemble pour provoquer une circulation du fluide sous haute pression qu'elles contiennent.If desired, at least some of the cavities 34, 35, 36 can be linked together to cause circulation of the high pressure fluid they contain.

Le corps de pompe 12 comprend un conduit d'admission 37 qui mène à la cavité 11 contenant les pignons (fig. 5) et qui ouvre à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 32 remplie de fluide sous basse pression.The pump body 12 includes an intake duct 37 which leads to the cavity 11 containing the pinions (fig. 5) and which opens inside the envelope 32 filled with fluid under low pressure.

Supplémentairement encore, le corps de pompe 12 délimite un canal 38 ouvrant dans l'une des cavités dites de Helmholtz, en l'occurrence la cavité 34, et menant par un conduit 39 à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 32.Additionally still, the pump body 12 delimits a channel 38 opening into one of the so-called Helmholtz cavities, in this case the cavity 34, and leading through a conduit 39 to inside the envelope 32.

Un clapet anti-retour 40 constitué par une bille, un ressort et un organe de retenue est disposé dans le canal 38 et est maintenu contre son siège par la pression régnant dans la cavité 34 en communication avec la chambre 19 du couvercle 18.A non-return valve 40 consisting of a ball, a spring and a retaining member is disposed in channel 38 and is held against his seat by the pressure prevailing in the cavity 34 in communication with the chamber 19 of the cover 18.

Le canal 38 et le clapet anti-retour 40 constituent un trajet de dérivation pour le fluide entre les circuits de basse pression et de haute pression, ce qui permet, le cas échéant, d'utiliser un mécanisme récepteur de fluide en cas de panne d'alimentation du moteur électrique d'entraínement de la pompe. En effet, la circulation entre les circuits de basse pression et de haute pression qui peut s'établir par le clapet anti-retour 40 permet d'éviter un blocage comme cela pourrait se produire en ce qui concerne le mécanisme récepteur qui ne pourrait pas être manoeuvré manuellement si le circuit haute pression ne parvient pas à être alimenté par le circuit basse pression.The channel 38 and the non-return valve 40 constitute a path bypass for the fluid between the low pressure circuits and high pressure, which allows, if necessary, use a fluid receiving mechanism in the event of a breakdown power supply to the pump drive electric motor. Indeed, the circulation between the low pressure circuits and high pressure which can be established by the valve non-return 40 prevents a blockage as it could happen with respect to the receptor mechanism which does could not be operated manually if the high circuit pressure fails to be supplied by the low circuit pressure.

A titre de variante, il a été estimé avantageux, comme l'illustre la fig. 6, de prévoir un conduit souple par exemple un conduit annelé 41 entourant le corps de pompe et reliant le conduit 37 d'admission à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 32.Alternatively, it was found to be advantageous, as illustrated in fig. 6, to provide a flexible conduit for example a corrugated duct 41 surrounding the pump body and connecting the intake duct 37 inside the casing 32.

La mise en oeuvre du conduit 41 a pour effet d'améliorer encore l'amortissement des ondes sonores engendrées par le fonctionnement de la pompe.The implementation of conduit 41 has the effect of improving still the damping of the sound waves generated by the pump operation.

Comme cela ressort de la description qui précède, la pompe présente une grande compacité étant donné que c'est le corps de pompe qui délimite toutes les cavités nécessaires à la mise en place tant des pignons que des chambres d'amortissement du clapet de surpression et des conduits d'admission et de refoulement, ce corps de pompe étant fermé par des joues minces, ce qui assure une très grande compacité à l'ensemble.As is apparent from the above description, the pump is very compact since it is the body pump which delimits all the cavities necessary for the installation of both pinions and damping chambers the pressure relief valve and the intake ducts and discharge, this pump body being closed by cheeks thin, which ensures a very compact overall.

Par ailleurs, en ce qui concerne le montage, celui-ci est très simplifié par la réalisation décrite.Furthermore, with regard to mounting, this is very simplified by the embodiment described.

En effet, après mise en place des pignons 9, 10 dans leurs coussinets 6, 7 et mise en place du clapet de surpression 27 et du clapet anti-retour 40, les joues sont serrées contre les côtés latéraux du corps de pompe 12 par les boulons de serrage 15 qui assurent simultanément le serrage et la fixation du couvercle 18 délimitant la chambre à haute pression 19.Indeed, after setting up the pinions 9, 10 in their pads 6, 7 and installation of the pressure relief valve 27 and non-return valve 40, the cheeks are tight against the lateral sides of the pump body 12 by the bolts clamping 15 which simultaneously ensures clamping and fixing of the cover 18 delimiting the high pressure chamber 19.

L'ensemble hydraulique constitue ainsi une unité à laquelle le moteur électrique 1 est ensuite fixé par la mise en place des boulons 23 qui contribuent à assurer les fonctions d'étanchéité de la pompe comme illustré par la fig. 2. L'ensemble, unité hydraulique - moteur hydraulique est ensuite engagé à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 32. The hydraulic assembly thus constitutes a unit to which the electric motor 1 is then fixed by the installation bolts 23 which contribute to ensuring the sealing functions of the pump as illustrated in fig. 2. The whole, hydraulic unit - hydraulic motor is then engaged to inside the envelope 32.

Il est avantageux, comme l'illustrent les fig. 1 à 3, que le couvercle 18 forme un raccord 42 sur lequel l'enveloppe 32 est engagée, l'étanchéité étant assurée par un joint torique 43. Le raccord 42 est, de préférence, prévu de façon à permettre la liaison rapide avec un support de fixation. L'alésage taraudé 44 permet la fixation d'un tuyau d'alimentation d'un récepteur 44'It is advantageous, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, that the cover 18 forms a connector 42 on which the casing 32 is engaged, sealing being ensured by an O-ring 43. The connector 42 is preferably provided so as to allow quick connection with a mounting bracket. Bore threaded 44 allows the fixing of a supply pipe of a 44 'receiver

La réalisation selon la fig. 7 montre que la joue 17 délimite deux chambres 19 et 34. La pompe débite dans les chambres 19 et 34 par des canaux calibrés 20, 45 et 46 celui désigné par 20 correspondant au refoulement proprement dit de la pompe.The embodiment according to fig. 7 shows that cheek 17 delimits two chambers 19 and 34. The pump delivers in chambers 19 and 34 by 20, 45 and 46 calibrated channels that designated by 20 corresponding to the actual discharge of the pump.

Le débit s'effectue ensuite par la sortie haute pression de l'alésage 44 par un canal calibré supplémentaire 47.The flow is then carried out by the high pressure outlet of bore 44 by an additional calibrated channel 47.

La répartition du volume en ceux chambres haute pression 19 et 34 permet, par ajustement des canaux ou lumières 20, 45, 46 et 47, de réduire les pulsations de pression engendrées par les pignons, pulsations de pression qui sont ainsi amorties du fait des communications multiples réalisées entre les cavités d'amortissement et entre les parties de refoulement des pignons et les cavités d'amortissement.The distribution of volume in those high pressure chambers 19 and 34 allows, by adjusting the channels or lights 20, 45, 46 and 47, to reduce the pressure pulsations generated by the pinions, pressure pulses which are thus damped due to the multiple communications made between damping cavities and between the discharge parts sprockets and damping cavities.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation, représentés et décrits en détail, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir du cadre des revendications annexées.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, shown and described in detail, because various modifications can be made without departing from the appended claims.
