Definitions

  • a differential hydraulic motor of this type is known, for example from EP-B-0255791, or from US-A-5505224, and can be used for an injection device an additive in a main fluid.
  • Ways elastic consist of springs of small size relative to the pieces making up the entire mechanism. These springs act transversely to the direction of piston displacement and require rod type return means, rotatably mounted around axes of rotation which are generally orthogonal, or at least intersecting, to the lines of action of efforts developed by the springs.
  • EP-A-0 161 614 shows a hydraulic motor differential in which the trigger means include connecting rods subjected to the action of means elastic arranged transversely. The change of position of the valves, and the inversion of the movement, impact with one pin against another room. These shocks are a source of noise and detrimental to engine longevity.
  • US-A-5,513,963 shows a hydraulic motor differential in which the locking system is passive, i.e. not ordered. The switching is caused only by the direct action of the springs on the sealing elements which eventually balance the holding forces from locking and effects Hydraulic. Such a design does not allow to accumulate an energy greater than that capable of upset the balance.

  • the lantern is guided in its lower part by a cylindrical zone of the piston differential.
  • At least one pusher is provided at each end axial of the lantern, the push button (s) of a end being independent of the push button (s) the other end of the lantern, these pushers being in support against the elastic means and being retained axially by stops provided on the lantern, which guides the pushers in translation.
  • the lower pusher may have a crosspiece diametral fitted with a rod coaxial with the piston, in projection on the side opposite to the elastic means.

  6. Maschine nach Anspruch 5, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der untere Stößel (62) eine diametrale Strebe (64) aufweist, die mit einer zum Kolben koaxialen Stange (66) versehen ist, welche von der den elastischen Einrichtungen (E) gegenüberliegenden Seite absteht.
  7. Maschine nach Anspruch 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stange (66) eine Querwand (19, 20) des Kolbens (15) dicht durchquert und am Ende der Abwärtsbewegung an einer transversalen Stange (67) anschlägt, die an einem Teil (68) des Gehäuses abgestützt ist.
  8. Maschine nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stange (67) gleitend verschiebbar in einem mit dem Kolben (15) verbundenen Träger (69) angeordnet ist.
  9. Maschine nach einem der Ansprüche 6 bis 8, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die diametrale Strebe (64) fest mit einem Ring (65) verbunden ist, der am unteren Rand (28) des Kernrohrs (26) abgestützt ist, wobei dieser Ring (65) die Seitenwand (27) des Kernrohrs umgibt, welche zwei längsverlaufende Führungsöffnungen (33) aufweist, in welche sich die Strebe (64) erstreckt.
  10. Maschine nach einem der Ansprüche 5 bis 9, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende obere Stößel (60a, 60b) vorgesehen und von der Laterne (26) geführt sind, insbesondere durch die längsverlaufenden Öffnungen (33).
  11. Maschine nach Anspruch 10, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Kernrohr (26) eine obere Platte (37) aufweist, die nach innen gerichtet mit zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Aussparungen (38) versehen ist, in welche die oberen Stößel (60a, 60b) eingesetzt sind und in welchen sie gleiten.
  12. Maschine nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Schalteinrichtungen (C) Ventile (23, 25) aufweisen.
  13. Maschine nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Einheit aus dem Kernrohr (26), den elastischen Einrichtungen (E, 59) und den Stößeln (60a, 60b; 62) achssysmmetrisch ist.
  14. Maschine nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Stabilhalten des Kernrohres (26) in einer ihrer beiden Positionen in bezug auf den Kolben (15) durch eine Vorrichtung (46) vom Kniehebeltyp mit drei Achsen (X1, X2, X3) erfolgt, welche eine Kniehebelplatte (51) und einen Auslöser (49) aufweist.
  15. Maschine nach Anspruch 14, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kniehebelplatte (51) an einem Ende (X2, 55) an einer oberen Platte (37) des Kernrohres (26) und an ihrem anderen Ende (X3, 58a) am Auslöser (49) angelenkt ist, wobei der Auslöser (49) selbst an einem mit dem Kolben (15) verbundenen Teil (47) angelenkt (X1, 50) ist.
  16. Maschine nach Anspruch 14 oder 15, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Auslöser (49) zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Fortsätze (49b, 49a) aufweist, die sich an einem mit dem Kolben verbundenen Anschlag (48) nach einer Drehung um ungefähr 180° oberhalb bzw. unterhalb des Anschlags (48) abstützen, wobei jeder Fortsatz (49b, 49a) des Auslösers mit einem jeweiligen Vorsprung (63a, 64a) zusammenwirkt, der auf einem oberen Stößel (60a) bzw. einem unteren Stößel (60b) vorgesehen ist, um das Kippen des Auslösers (49) zu bewirken, wenn die elastischen Einrichtungen (E, 59) ausreichend belastet sind.
