Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve arrangement for supplying a hydraulic consumer according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a valve arrangement is known for example from DE 42 11 551 C2 and DE 43 34 167 A1 and is used in hydraulic systems in which a consumer is supplied via a variable displacement pump with a pressure medium.
  • a biasing valve is provided between the variable displacement pump and the consumer, which opens the connection to the consumer at a minimum pressure required for adjusting the delivery volume of the variable. This ensures that between the pressure connection of the variable displacement pump and the biasing valve of the required for actuating an actuator of the variable displacement minimum pressure. This minimum pressure is throttled over the congestion valve, so that lying below this pressure consumer pressures are adjustable.
  • the preload valve is designed with a bluff body which is biased by a biasing spring against a valve seat.
  • the force applied by the spring corresponds to the minimum pressure for adjusting the variable displacement pump.
  • the bluff body is designed with a valve seat, against the biasing spring, a valve body of a pressure relief valve is biased. Since the effective area of the valve body is lower than that of the bluff body, the valve body only opens against the force of the preloading spring when a maximum consumer pressure is reached at which a connection to a tank is opened via the pressure limiting valve.
  • the Spring rate of the biasing spring and the area ratios of the valve body and the bluff body are selected depending on the maximum consumer pressure to be set and the minimum pressure.
  • a hydraulic system for acting on a consumer with a regulated consumer pressure is further known in which a backup valve between a pump and the consumer is provided which opens at a sufficient to adjust the delivery volume of the pump minimum pressure and with a is provided between the consumer-side outlet of the accumulation valve and the tank connected throttle valve, the opening cross-section is adjustable.
  • GB 1 443 799 A1 discloses a valve arrangement which has a pressure-limiting valve which can be pre-controlled via a pilot valve arrangement.
  • the system pressure on the pilot pressure of the pilot valve assembly is adjustable.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a valve assembly that allows adjustment of the maximum consumer pressure to different operating conditions with minimal device complexity.
  • the valve arrangement according to the invention has a pressure connection, a consumer connection and a bluff body which is biased against a valve seat via a biasing spring accommodated in a spring chamber and which opens a connection between the pressure connection and the consumer connection when a minimum pressure in the pressure connection is reached and is provided with a pressure limiting connection. by its control to the two other terminals towards the pressure in these can be limited to a maximum value.
  • the pressure limiting connection can be opened by the bluff body to the two other connections, the spring chamber is connected to the pressure connection via a nozzle and, on the one hand, a pilot valve arrangement and, on the other hand, a congestion valve connected to the spring chamber via a throttle cross section which can be varied by the bluff body. Since the bluff body according to the invention is additionally biased by a control pressure in the closing direction, the biasing spring can be designed weaker than the prior art described in the introduction according to DE 42 11 551 C2 and DE 43 34 167 A1.
  • the spring chamber associated with the spring chamber is connected via a nozzle to the pressure connection, wherein the control pressure in the spring chamber can be limited by a parallel to the pilot valve arrangement connected congestion valve, which is effective for adjusting the minimum pressure required for adjusting the variable.
  • the bluff body be carried out with a first control edge, via which a connection to the congestion valve incentives exchange cross section with increasing consumer pressure is zuu Kunststoffbar, so that upon reaching the maximum consumer pressure of the bluff body in the closed position acting control pressure is determined only by the pilot valve assembly, while in underlying area of the control pressure through the accumulation valve and the flow control valve is predetermined.
  • the bluff body can be designed with a further control edge over which a tank connection can be opened when the maximum control pressure set via the pilot valve arrangement is exceeded, so that the pressure medium can flow off directly to the tank with minimal pressure losses. That is, in the valve arrangement according to the invention, the comparatively large-area bluff body is also part of the pressure limiting valve, via which the pressure medium flow is controlled upon reaching the maximum pressure.
  • the pilot valve arrangement serves only for setting the effective in the closing direction pilot pressure, so that it can be designed with a small cross-section.
  • the effective for setting the minimum pressure accumulation valve is preferably designed as a check valve, the closing spring determines the minimum pressure together with the biasing body biasing in the closing direction biasing spring.
  • the pilot valve arrangement can be embodied, for example, as an electrically adjustable pressure-limiting valve or through a large number of pressure-limiting valves connected in parallel, which can be selectively connected via a directional control valve.
  • the bluff body is designed with a second control edge forming shell breakthrough over the connection to the tank is aufêtbar on reaching the maximum consumer pressure.
  • the nozzle is advantageously formed in the bottom of the cup-shaped bluff body.
  • Figure 1 shows a simplified circuit diagram of a valve assembly 1, via which a hydraulic consumer 2, for example an aggregate of an injection molding machine with a variable displacement pump 4 is connectable.
  • a hydraulic consumer 2 for example an aggregate of an injection molding machine with a variable displacement pump 4 is connectable.
  • the variable displacement pump 4 can be designed for example as a piston pump, preferably axial piston pump or radial piston pump, wherein the actuator 6 is formed by a control cylinder with associated control valve.
  • the valve assembly 1 has an input port P to which the pressure port of the variable displacement pump 4 is connected.
  • the consumer 2 is connected to a consumer port A, while a tank 8 is connected to a tank port T.
  • a biasing valve 12 is arranged, the bluff body is acted upon by a biasing spring 14 in the closing direction and the pressure in the pressure line 10 in the opening direction.
  • a pilot-operated pressure relief valve 16 is provided, which is acted upon in the closing direction by a pre-control pressure which is predetermined via a pilot valve arrangement 18.
  • valve 12 and pressure relief valve 16 are shown separately from each other - as can be seen from the following explanations, the two components 12, 16 are integrated in a common valve assembly, wherein the biasing spring 14 and the Valve body of the pressure relief valve 16 biases in the closing direction.
  • the consumer pressure tapped off from the pressure line 10 via a control line 20 in which a nozzle is located can be individually limited as a function of the operating conditions.
  • the pilot valve assembly has three parallel connected, designed as pressure relief valves pilot valves 22, 23, 24, wherein the pilot valve 22 is connected directly into the control line 20, while the two remaining pilot valves 23, 24, a preferably electrically adjustable directional control valve 26 upstream, via which one of the two pilot valves 23, 24 is selectively switched on.
  • the pilot valve 22 is effective, via which the maximum effective consumer pressure can be limited to a maximum pressure.
  • the two pilot valves 23, 24 limit the maximum consumer pressure to lower pressures than the pilot valve 22, so that by switching the directional control valve 26 and by appropriately connecting the pilot valve 23 or 24 correspondingly changed maximum consumer pressures are adjustable.
  • FIG. 2 shows a greatly simplified sectional view through a valve assembly 1, with which the circuit shown in Figure 1 is realized.
  • the valve assembly 1 has a valve housing 30, in the valve bore 32, a bluff body 34 is guided. This is biased by the biasing spring 14 against a valve seat 36, so that the pressure port P is shut off from the working port A.
  • the bluff body 34 acts as a common valve member for both the valve 12 and the pressure relief valve 16.
  • the bluff body 34 is designed as a cup-shaped piston, in the bottom of the nozzle 38 is arranged, via which the interior 40 of the piston with a spring chamber 42 of the valve assembly 1 is connectable. That is, the pressure at the pressure port P is transmitted in the closed position of the bluff body 34 via the interior 40 and the nozzle 38 in the spring chamber 42, so that the bluff body 34 is biased in addition to the force of the biasing spring 14 by the control pressure in the spring chamber 42 in the closed position.
  • a biasing terminal 44 which is connected via a tank line 46 to the tank 8.
  • a check valve check valve 48 is provided in the tank line 46, the closing spring 50 is selected in response to the adjustment of the variable 4 to be set minimum pressure.
  • the biasing terminal 44 forms a throttle cross-section 52, which during the axial movement of the bluff body 34 by the bottom-side peripheral edge 54 is open or aufberichtbar.
  • a pressure limiting port 56 which is connected downstream of the check valve 48 to the tank line 46.
  • this pressure limiting connection 56 can be replaced by another one Control edge 58 are turned on, which is formed by an opening 60 in the jacket of the bluff body 34.
  • Figure 2 shows the valve assembly in its basic position in which the pressure at the working port A is less than the minimum pressure required for the adjustment of the variable 4. It is assumed that the pressure relief valve 28 is set to 192 bar and the force of the biasing spring 14 is a pressure of 8 bar and the force of the closing spring 50 corresponds to a pressure of 10 bar. Accordingly, the check valve 48 opens at a pressure of 10 bar in the spring chamber 42, so that the back of the bluff body 34 is acted upon by a force in the closing direction, which corresponds to a pressure of 18 bar (closing spring 14 8 bar, check valve 48 10 bar).
  • valve assembly Upon reaching this minimum pressure in the pressure port P of the bluff body 34 is lifted as shown in Figure 2 of its valve seat 36 and opened the connection to the consumer port A. In this case, the minimum pressure is throttled to the load pressure required by the consumer by the opening damper 16.
  • the valve assembly is in storage function. It flows a control oil flow whose size is determined by the cross section of the nozzle 38 and the pressure difference (of 8 bar) above the nozzle, via the nozzle 18 and the check valve 48 to the tank.
  • the valve arrangement has virtually no function in such an operating state.
  • the throttle cross-section 52 With increasing pressure at the consumer port A, the throttle cross-section 52 is increasingly fed. As long as the load pressure has a level that does not respond to the pressure limiting valve 28, the bluff body 34 remains in a position below the position shown in Figure 3, in which the throttle cross section 52 may just be slightly open.
  • the accumulation valve 12 and the pressure relief valve 16 are integrated with each other, wherein the bluff body 34 acts as a common valve member for both components.
  • the system pressure to be limited can be adjusted in a simple manner via the pilot valve 28, so that the valve arrangement can be adapted to different operating conditions.
  • a valve arrangement for supplying a hydraulic consumer with a pressure medium, wherein a biasing valve for adjusting a variable displacement required minimum pressure is adjustable.
  • the maximum consumer pressure is limited by a pressure limiting valve, wherein the pressure limiting valve is associated with a pilot valve arrangement, via which the effective in the closing direction of a bluff body of the pressure relief valve control pressure is variable.
