Definitions
- the invention relates to an actuator for Converting the energy of a fluid to mechanical Force.
- an inner, essentially tubular expansion chamber consists of an elastically resilient material which, when the expansion chamber is acted upon by a fluid mediated by the fluid Internal pressure experiences an essentially radially oriented deformation.
- This deformation of the expansion chamber is limited by an outer force transmission sleeve which surrounds the expansion chamber and consists of a flexible, but not stretchable thread material which is anchored at the axial ends of the expansion chamber.
- the thread material consists of single threads or multiple threads, which are bundled into strands or strands. These single or multiple threads are combined with opposing spirals at an angle of inclination of approximately 50 ° to 80 ° against the axis of the expansion chamber to form a network which has a relative angular displacement of the threads during the expansion at the thread crossings the expansion chamber allowed.
- the ends of the threads are attached to tie rods which are non-positively connected to the ends of the expansion chamber.
- the invention has for its object an actuator to provide the training dealt with above, in which when generating the internal pressure radial expansion of the expansion chamber obtained precisely and thus avoiding a scattering effect on the axis the actuator is concentrated so that the pressure energy of the fluid accordingly optimally in terms of drive used axial forces is translated.
- the response time of the actuator is further shortened with the measure be that the unused dead space of the expansion chamber with correspondingly preferably about 90 to 80% a floating core material is filled in, that do not participate in the expansion of the expansion chamber and should be braced between the tie rods Coil spring is centered.
- the end of the two Tie rods can be attached, then results from the radial expansion of the expansion chamber along the Drive axle completely uniform size change of the communicating individual chambers.
- the individual chambers adapt to one with the cylinder spiral predetermined slope, which in turn increases of the internal pressure for a radial expansion of the expansion chamber is adapted to the tensile forces thus obtained.
- the spiral shape of the individual chambers changes therefore steadily increasing the axial tensile forces that therefore be equalized accordingly.
- Embodiments of an actuator with which a conversion the energy of a fluid into a mechanical force can be realized is the supply source to be provided for this not shown for the working fluid.
- a working fluid For example, compressed air is used, which at the work site of the Actuator via a connected supply line is introduced.
- the actuator of FIGS. 1 to 5 is tubular Expansion chamber 1 formed on both of them Ends through the axial middle part of two tie rods 2 and 3 is closed.
- the two tie rods 2, 3 are with the Ends of the expansion chamber 1 are positively connected.
- Each the two form-locking connections 4 and 5 are thus obtained that that over the axial middle part of the assigned Tie rod 2, 3 pushed tube end with a thread is wrapped several times so strongly that the relevant Working pressure of the expansion chamber 1 of the positive connection with the Tie rods 2,3 is not destroyed and tightness of the Expansion chamber 1 is guaranteed.
- the positive connection for low working pressures also replaced by a frictional connection be, his special education also by others Measures can be realized.
- the expansion chamber 1 gives the actual actuator of the actuator and consists of a resilient Material, which after the supply of the Compressed air or alternatively another working fluid one of the two tie rods 2, 3 through which to the Inner wall of the expansion chamber 1 mediated internal pressure undergoes a substantially radially oriented deformation.
- This deformation is in Fig. 2 for an embodiment of the Actuator illustrated in which the expansion chamber 1 by pushed over ring body 6, which over the effective length of the expansion chamber 1 with the same mutual distance are lined up in each other communicating individual chambers 1 'is divided, the radial Widening to the axial space between the ring bodies 6 is limited.
- a coil spring 7 is arranged, which between the two tie rods 2, 3 is braced and a core material 8 surrounds that arranged floating in the expansion chamber 1 is.
- the core material 8 is in the starting position of the actuator by the spiral spring 7 without contact held with the inner wall of the expansion chamber 1.
- the spiral spring 7 centers the core material 8 inside the expansion chamber 1 and ensures its floating arrangement the compressed air supply. Through a line touch the coil spring 7 with the inner wall of the expansion chamber it is also guaranteed that the working fluid evenly distributed into the individual chambers 1 'and thus these individual chambers 1 'a common expansion can experience.
- the core material takes over 8 only the passive role of filling in a Dead space in the filling of the expansion chamber 1 with the working fluid for the deformation of the resilient Material is not needed.
- the initial usable space should be appropriate to about 10 to 20% of the total Filling volume of the expansion chamber may be limited to one safe and economical operation of the actuator to guarantee.
- the actuator is further completed by an outer force transmission sleeve 9, which surrounds the expansion chamber 1 and consists of a flexible, but not stretchable thread material.
- This thread material is formed with an endless thread, which is deflected around the two tie rods 2 and 3 for a multi-layer covering of the expansion chamber 1 in the back and forth.
- the endless thread is deflected via deflecting arms 10, which are radially aligned with the axial central part of each tie rod 2, 3.
- the form-fitting connection of the tie rods 2, 3 at their axial middle part to the ends of the expansion chamber 1 is expediently such that the deflection arms 10 of the one tie rod 2 to the deflecting arms 10 of the other tie rod 3 are offset.
- this arrangement ensures that the power transmission sleeve 9 obtained with the continuous thread is closed to form a tight package of longitudinal threads.
- the longitudinal axis 11 thus results in a significant drive axis of the actuator, which can be connected to any actuator in this longitudinal axis 11.
- an axial tensile force of about 6 kN can be generated with a working pressure of, for example, about 8 bar, at the same time only about 10 to 20% of the initial useful volume of the expansion chamber 1 having to be specified.
- the expansion chamber 1 for the exercise of an internal pressure by the one Connection 2 'of a tie rod 2 supplied working fluid together with a core material 12 with the two tie rods 2, 3 positively connected.
- the one positive connection 4 ' is obtained so that the associated axial ends of the expansion chamber 1 and of the core material 12 are connected to one another in a fluid-tight manner and in an axial bore of the axial middle part of the tie rod 2 pressed and glued therein.
- a corresponding positive connection 5 ' thus obtained that the expansion chamber 1 and the core material 12 on their end faces with the end face of the Tie rods 3 are glued.
- this positive connection 5 'but can also be designed in the same way as the positive connection 4 ', so with one in the axial Central part of the tie rod 3 formed bore, in which the ends of the Expansion chamber 1 and the core material 12 pressed and glued into it.
- the core material 12 consists of the same or approximately same resilient material as that Expansion chamber 1. This allows in this embodiment dispenses with the arrangement of a special coil spring and the entire cavity of the expansion chamber with the Core material to be filled in so that its main length with the surrounding expansion chamber 1 kept in contact is.
- an incorporated fluid channel in the formation of at least one longitudinal groove 13 provided that a central bore 13 'at the end of the Tie rod 2 connects to the connector 2 'of the fluid supply of the actuator. So if that Working fluid in this incorporated fluid channel 13, 13 ' of the core material 12 is supplied, then an im essentially radially oriented deformation of the expansion chamber 1 received, which to an outer power transmission sleeve 9 is transmitted.
- the power transmission sleeve 9 consists of an endless thread, which is deflected in the back and forth over the two tie rods 2, 3 and surrounds the expansion chamber 1 in multiple layers. Because the core material 12 is held in contact with the expansion chamber 1 and is positively connected together with the expansion chamber 1 at the axial ends to the two tie rods 2, 3, this results in an output length l 0 of the actuator in the arrangement shown in FIG. 6 easier winding process of the continuous thread than in the first embodiment described above.
- the force transmission sleeve 9 is surrounded by an inelastic cylindrical spiral 14 which is attached with its ends to the two tie rods 2, 3 so that it cannot rotate.
- the communicating individual chambers 1 ′′ of the expansion chamber 1 receive a spiral course along the drive axis 11 of the actuator during the radially oriented deformation of the expansion chamber.
- the incorporated fluid channel of the core material 12 can also have several such longitudinal grooves with an even distribution over the circumference of the core material.
- the surface of the core material 12 can also be provided with scratches running parallel to the axis and equally spaced over the circumference of the core material. Such scoring can make the core material more supple if it is compressed from its initial length l 0 to the working length l 1 while the actuator is being shortened.
- the expansion chamber 1 can also be surrounded by a sleeve 15.
- This sleeve 15 is specially designed in the manner of a pipe clamp and consists of an elastically flexible material which wraps around the force transmission sleeve 9 and which is fastened to two clamping jaws 17 which can be tightened by means of adjusting screws 16.
- the expansion chamber 1 is expanded radially by the internal pressure of the working fluid and thus the two tie rods 2, 3 are brought closer to one another by means of the force transmission sleeve 9, then the sleeve 15 follows the radial expansion of the individual chamber 1 ′′ surrounded by it until the working length l 1 is reached. If the clamping jaws 17 are then tightened against one another and thus the loop length of the sleeve 15 is shortened or its opening size is reduced, then a counterpressure counteracting the internal pressure is exerted on the individual chamber 1 ′′. This counterpressure increases the working length l 1 of the actuator again, and a fine adjustment of the axial tensile forces that have been set for the working length l 1 is obtained .
- the outer transmission sleeve can reduce lateral forces be soaked with a lubricant, taking it for that then expediently with a tubular coating an elastic material is provided to prevent escape to prevent the lubricant.
