Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sensoranordnung zur Erfassung der Lage eines elektromagnetisch bewegten Ankers nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a sensor arrangement for detection the position of an electromagnetically moved armature after the Genus of the main claim.
Es ist beispielsweise aus der DE 41 42 996 A1 bekannt, dass bei einem Verfahren zur Messung der mechanischen Bewegung eines Magnetventilankers bei elektrisch gesteuerten Einspritzanlagen in Kraftfahrzeugen mit einer Sekundärspule die in der Erregerspule entstehende Induktion erfasst wird. Hiermit können insbesondere die Richtungsumkehrungen des Magnetventilankers durch Änderungen der Induktion in der außen am Gehäuse des Einspritzventils angebrachten Sensoranordnung detektiert werden.It is known for example from DE 41 42 996 A1, that in a method of measuring mechanical movement a solenoid valve armature with electrically controlled Injection systems in motor vehicles with a secondary coil the induction created in the excitation coil is recorded. This can be used to reverse the direction of the solenoid valve armature by changing the Induction in the outside of the injector housing attached sensor arrangement can be detected.
Aus der DE-OS 26 43 038 ist bekannt, dass ein Näherungsschalter außen am Gehäuse eines Wegeventils angebracht werden kann, der kapazitiv oder induktiv die Bewegung des Magnetankers auswertet. Wenn sich der Magnetanker oder der durch diesen betätigte Ventilkolben dem Schalter nähert, so gibt dieser ein entsprechendes Schaltsignal ab. Eine genauere Information über die Lage der bewegten Teile in den bekannten Anordnungen sind hierdurch jedoch nicht zu erfassen.From DE-OS 26 43 038 it is known that a proximity switch attached to the outside of the housing of a directional valve can be the capacitive or inductive the movement of the Evaluates the magnet armature. If the magnet armature or the valve piston actuated by this approaches the switch, so this emits a corresponding switching signal. More precise information about the location of the moving parts in the known arrangements, however not to be recorded.
Die Sensoranordnung zur Erfassung der Lage eines elektromagnetisch bewegten Ankers, bei der nach der eingangs erwähnten Gattung mit einer Erregerspule zur Erzeugung eines Magnetfeldes ein Anker bewegbar ist und bei der mindestens ein Sensorelement zur Erfassung magnetischer Größen in Abhängigkeit von der Ankerstellung außen an einem Gehäuse angebracht ist, ist mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichens des Hauptanspruchs erfindungsgemäß weitergebildet.The sensor arrangement for detecting the position of an electromagnetic moving anchor, in the after the aforementioned Genus with an excitation coil for generating a Magnetic field an anchor is movable and at least a sensor element for the detection of magnetic quantities depending on the anchor position on the outside of one Housing is attached is with the characteristics of the mark of the main claim further developed according to the invention.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist das mindestens eine Sensorelement eine Feldsonde, die in einem Bereich außerhalb am Gehäuse angebracht ist in dem ein magnetischer Streufluss auftritt, der von der Ankerstellung und vom Erregerstrom abhängig ist. Bei elektromagnetisch bewegten Ankern werden die Erregerspule und die Eisenteile, insbesondere der bewegte Anker und das Gehäuse, in der Regel so aufgebaut, dass ein größtmöglichster Nutzfluss durch den Anker fließt. Der Teil des magnetischen Flusses der durch die Luft neben dem beabsichtigten Weg auftritt, ist der Streufluss, der je nach Aufbau und Material der Anordnung einen Anteil von ca. 10 bis 30% des Gesamtflusses aufweist.The at least one sensor element is advantageous a field probe in an area outside on A magnetic stray flux is attached to the housing occurs from the armature position and the excitation current is dependent. With electromagnetically moving anchors the excitation coil and the iron parts, especially the moving armature and the housing, usually constructed so that the greatest possible useful flow through the anchor flows. The part of the magnetic flux through the Air that occurs alongside the intended path is the Litter flux, depending on the structure and material of the arrangement has a share of approx. 10 to 30% of the total flow.
Erfindungsgemäß wird ausgenutzt, dass der Streufluss auch abhängig von der Erregung, der Ankerstellung und der Stellung weiterer magnetisch leitender Teile in der Anordnung ist. Ob beispielsweise ein Ventilschieber dem elektrischen Schaltbefehl in der Anordnung gefolgt ist oder nicht, lässt sich somit über die Größe des magnetischen Streuflusses an einer bestimmten Stelle des Gehäuses des Elektromagneten leicht feststellen. Die jeweilige Ankerstellung kann bei bestimmten Anordnungen den Streufluss beispielsweise um den Faktor 6 zwischen der aktivierten Schaltstellung und der Nullstellung verändern.According to the invention, the fact that the leakage flux is used depending on the excitation, the anchor position and the Position of further magnetically conductive parts in the arrangement is. For example, whether a valve spool electrical switching command is followed in the arrangement or not, can thus be determined by the size of the magnetic Leakage flux at a specific point on the housing the electromagnet easily. The respective In certain arrangements, the anchor position can prevent leakage for example by a factor of 6 between the activated Change switch position and zero position.
Eine gute Detektion dieses Änderungssignals wird auf einfache Weise dann erreicht, wenn das Sensorelement an einem Ende der Erregerspule, beispielsweise an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem Gehäuse für die Erregerspule und einem weiteren Gehäuse für das vom beweglichen Anker angetriebene Bauteil angebracht ist. Als besonders empfindliches Sensorelement wird in vorteilhafter Weise eine Feldsonde mit einem Hallelement aufgebaut.Good detection of this change signal is easy Way reached when the sensor element on a End of the excitation coil, for example at the connection point between the housing for the excitation coil and another housing for the driven by the movable anchor Component is attached. As a particularly sensitive Sensor element is advantageously a Field probe constructed with a Hall element.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Sensoranordnung reicht auch im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Erregerspule der Restmagnetismus aus, um einen noch detektierbaren Streufluss zu erhalten. Um jedoch ein gut auswertbares Detektionssignal in jeder Ankerstellung gewinnen zu können, fließt gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform in der Erregerspule auch in der Ruhelage ein Reststrom, der einen vorgegebenen, einfach messbaren Streufluss ohne Betätigung des Ankers erzeugt. Dieser Reststrom muss daher so gering bleiben, dass der Anker im abgeschalteten Zustand sich socher in die Nulllage bewegt und dort verharrt; er sollte ca. 1/10 des Nennwertes des Stromes nicht überschreiten.In the sensor arrangement according to the invention, off state of the excitation coil the residual magnetism to a still detectable leakage flow receive. However, a detection signal that can be easily evaluated Being able to win in any anchor position flows according to a preferred embodiment in the excitation coil even in the rest position, a residual current that corresponds to a predetermined easily measurable leakage flux without actuating the anchor generated. This residual current must therefore remain so low that the anchor is in the switched off state moved to the zero position and remains there; he should approx Do not exceed 1/10 of the nominal value of the current.
Die Messstellen, an denen die Sensorelemente am Gehäuse zur Gewinnung eines ausreichend großen Signalhubes angebracht werden, können jeweils für unterschiedliche Ankerstellungen optimiert werden. Um einen ausreichend großen Signalhub sowohl für die Einschaltstellung als auch für die Abschaltstellung des Ankers zu gewinnen, sind in vorteilhafter Weise zwei Sensorelemente an unterschiedlichen Stellen, jeweils für die verschiedenen Schaltstellungen optimiert, am Gehäuse des Elektromagneten angeordnet.The measuring points at which the sensor elements on the housing attached to obtain a sufficiently large signal swing can be used for different anchor positions be optimized. To a big enough one Signal stroke for both the on position and for To win the switch-off position of the armature are advantageous Way two sensor elements on different Positions, each for the different switching positions optimized, arranged on the housing of the electromagnet.
