Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a central block of a pilot-operated seat and / or piston valve system which has both a preferably standardized connection interface and a pilot valve interface for receiving a pilot valve, and which has a pump (P), a tank (T ), a first working line (A), a second working line (B), a first control line x and a second control line y, and in which four valve receptacles for receiving one valve unit each (C, C 2 , C 3 , C 4 ) are arranged.
  • Valve systems with pilot operated seat and / or piston valves and with such a central block are known for example from DE-OS 36 04 410, GB 2,212,220 A or EP 0 473 030 A1.
  • a hydraulic control block with a pilot valve, a four-way valve, which is pilot-controlled by the pilot valve, a pressure reducer, a check valve and a throttle check valve is known.
  • Each of the aforementioned elements is housed in an independent cast iron housing block and is connected to the other housing blocks only via corresponding hydraulic lines.
  • a proportional four-way valve with pilot operated seat valves which, like the four way valve of DE-OS 36 04 410, is housed in a housing block cast especially for this purpose from iron.
  • This housing block referred to below as the central block, for receiving the valve units is interspersed with hydraulic lines which hydraulically connect the four valve units arranged in the central block to one another.
  • Production-optimized seat or combined piston-seat valves are used as valve units, which can be inserted into corresponding valve receptacles provided in the central block. These valves are then fixed with a cover screwed into the central block.
  • valve units of this type are referred to as so-called cartridge (cartridge technology).
  • the underside of the control block (DE 36 04 410) or the underside of the central block (EP 0 473 030) is designed as a connection interface and has a drilling pattern standardized according to DIN 24340, so that the control block or the central block can be connected to almost any new and existing one Hydraulic system can be connected.
  • valves housed in the central block can be connected to one another in various ways.
  • the valves are connected to each other according to the laws of logic by "and", "or” or “not and” links.
  • valve systems for example in plastic injection molding machines or in industrial robots, it can happen that after some time another application is used, so that a modified hydraulic circuit must be used in the plastic injection molding machine or in the industrial robot. In this case, the entire central block must be replaced and replaced with a new one, so that very high material and assembly costs arise.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a central block of a pilot-operated seat and / or piston valve system which can be used universally for any number of hydraulic circuits and whose hydraulic circuit can be changed in a simple manner.
  • a central block designed according to this technical teaching has the advantage that only a single middle block needs to be produced, on which the valve block with the associated valve units (cartridges) suitable for the respective application is attached.
  • Valve units of this type are designed as production-optimized screw-in valves (cartridge technology) which enable simple and quick installation. You can now use these valves further components, for example a check valve, an electromagnetic proportional control or the like, and / or further valves are attached.
  • pilot valve into one or more control components that are attached to the respective valve and pilot it directly.
  • the pilot valve is replaced by the control components and the control lines are no longer arranged in the central block, but are led externally directly from the control component to the valve.
  • a central block designed according to this technical teaching has the advantage that almost any hydraulic circuit can be implemented with a single central block and only a few valve blocks. Consequently, the manufacturing and storage costs of the central block system according to the invention are significantly lower, since the universally usable middle and valve blocks can be manufactured in larger quantities and because the one-off production that was previously required for the specific hydraulic circuit is no longer required.
  • Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that the central block according to the invention, composed of two valve blocks and a central block, can be made smaller than the known central blocks. This makes the central block lighter and cheaper because it requires less material. In addition, the smaller and lighter central block is easier to assemble.
  • valve blocks with the desired valve unit (s) can be screwed onto the central block. If the requirements for the hydraulic circuit change, a new hydraulic circuit can be created by exchanging one or both valve blocks without a new central block having to be cast or assembled, which leads to a significant reduction in costs.
  • valve units C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 are connected to one another via the hydraulic lines in such a way that reversing the direction of flow in the hydraulic lines also flows through the valve units C u C 2 , C 3 , C 4 in the opposite direction become.
  • This achieves a universal structure of the middle block and the valve blocks, so that one and the same middle block can be used for many different hydraulic applications through the use of intelligent circuits.
  • the same central block can be used for different applications and different hydraulic circuits without having to be converted. This further reduces inventory and assembly costs. This also significantly reduces the downtime of the affected machine.
  • valve units can be activated diagonally.
  • two valve units can be hydraulically linked to one another.
  • the central block is divided into two different sections.
  • the pump (P) and the tank line (T) are arranged in a rear section of the central block, while the working lines (A) and (B) are arranged in a front section of the central block.
  • the pump (P), the tank (T) and / or the working lines (A, B) are arranged partly vertically and partly parallel to the connection side.
  • This vertical or parallel arrangement of the hydraulic lines has the advantage that the lines no longer or not all need to be cast into the middle block by means of a core, but that it is now possible to retrofit the lines, for example by Drill to incorporate.
  • Another advantage is that additional channels can be added later by drilling if necessary.
  • Another advantage is that due to the short distances and the mostly straight line routing there is practically no pressure loss and almost no hysteresis.
  • the middle block mainly used as a fluid distributor is constructed according to the invention in such a way that it has a connection side, a left, a right valve side and a pilot valve side.
  • a pump line (P) and a tank line (T) lead from the connection side designed as a connection interface to each of the two valve sides designed as valve block interfaces, and the working line A leads from the connection interface to the left valve side, while the working line B leads to the right valve side.
  • the middle block designed according to the invention is combined with two valve blocks suitable for the respective application.
  • All valve blocks have an interface that is compatible with the valve block interface of the middle block.
  • the two valve block interfaces of the middle block have identical drilling patterns. This has the advantage that, depending on the application, the valve blocks can be attached to both the left and right side of the valve. As a result, the number of valve blocks required is kept low, which leads to a further reduction in costs.
  • valve block interfaces have punctually symmetrical drilling patterns. This ensures that the valve blocks can be attached to the same valve side again after rotating through 180 ° about their central axis, as a result of which the number of valve blocks required can be further reduced.
  • valve block Fastening devices are provided with which further valves or other components can be attached to the valve block. This is advantageous, for example, if, in addition to the seat valve, a check valve, a displacement transducer and / or a second valve is also to be attached.
  • valve block is designed as a two-way flow controller, while the other valve block has a press safety control.
  • An injection system for a plastics machine is only created by combining the two valve blocks with the center block.
  • the connecting lines leading to the tank (T) and / or pump line (P) are arranged within the valve block in such a way that they open into the central block interface outside the valve level, while the others lead to the Working lines lead the connecting lines and the connecting lines connecting the valves are arranged within the valve level.
  • the connecting lines similar to the middle block, are located in two different levels or sections. The working lines are created within the valve level, so that on the one hand short distances are created and on the other hand little or sometimes no curvature is required, so that these connecting lines are easy to produce.
  • valve block of a pilot-operated seat and / or piston valve having two or three way valves is proposed according to the invention, in which exactly one tank line and one pump line is provided in the valve block, the tank line entering the first valve receptacle and the pump line opens into the second valve receptacle.

  • valve blocks By means of these valve blocks according to the invention, it is possible to set up any hydraulic circuits with only a few valve blocks, which can be manufactured inexpensively in large numbers. This can either be done by assembling a single valve block with suitable valve units (cartridges) to form a 2 or 3 way valve, or by mounting two valve blocks with corresponding valve units (cartridges) on a center block by a 3, 4 or 5 way valve build up.
  • so-called blind pockets are provided in the middle block and in the valve blocks, i. H. the hydraulic lines are closed on one side. Only when it is certain which line (P, T, A, B, x, y) is required for the respective circuit, can this be opened, for example, by drilling.

Abstract

L'invention concerne le bloc central d'un système de soupapes qui comprend des soupapes à siège et des soupapes à piston prépilotées. Le bloc central comprend une interface de connexion de préférence normalisée (12), une interface (13) de connexion à une soupape pilote (32), un conduit (P) de liaison à la pompe, un conduit (T) de liaison au réservoir, un premier conduit de travail (A), un deuxième conduit de travail (B), un premier conduit de commande x et un deuxième conduit de commande y, ainsi que quatre cavités (34, 36) qui logent chacune une unité de soupape (C1, C2, C3, C4). Afin que ce bloc central puisse être universellement utilisé avec n'importe quel nombre de circuits hydrauliques et que ses connexions puissent être aisément modifiées, il est constitué d'un bloc médian (2) auquel sont assujettis de manière détachable deux blocs de soupapes (50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120). Le bloc médian (2) comprend deux côtés (6, 10) de connexion aux soupapes pourvus chacun d'une interface (22, 24) de connexion à un bloc de soupapes (50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120). Chaque bloc de soupapes (50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120) comprend deux cavités (34, 36) ou sont logées les soupapes. Les conduits de commande x et y sont agencés de sorte que chaque unité de soupape (C1, C2, C3, C4) puisse être pilotée par une soupape pilote (32) susceptible d'être montée sur l'interface (13) de connexion aux soupapes pilotes.
