Definitions
- Electromagnetic actuator for actuating an internal combustion engine lift valve
- the invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator for actuating an internal combustion engine lift valve with an armature which moves between two magnetic coils and which carries an armature shaft which is guided in the actuator and which acts on the stem of the lift valve with an end section.
- an electromagnetic actuator for actuating an internal combustion engine lift valve with an armature which moves between two magnetic coils and which carries an armature shaft which is guided in the actuator and which acts on the stem of the lift valve with an end section.
- An electromagnetic globe valve actuation device for an internal combustion engine also called an electromagnetic actuator
- an electromagnetic actuator has immense advantages because of the freedom with regard to the valve timing, ie with regard to the respective opening and closing times of the globe valves, but relatively high forces have to be applied for actuation, in particular for opening the globe valve , which requires a certain minimum size of solenoids and armatures.
- Systems of this type which require a large amount of installation space, cannot, however, be easily accommodated in the space available in an internal combustion engine.
- systems of this type which, due to their design, introduce high reaction forces during their operation into the structure of the internal combustion engine, must be considered unfavorable with regard to the emission of noise emissions.
- the present invention is intended to demonstrate a measure which contributes to solving the problems just described.
- the solution to this problem is characterized in that the anchor shaft consists at least in sections of a material whose specific weight is significantly less than that of steel.
- Advantageous training and further education are included in the subclaims.
- the armature shaft guiding the armature in the actuator and thereby transmitting its oscillating movement to the internal combustion engine lift valve is to be made at least in sections from a relatively light material in order to keep the mass to be moved by the actuator as low as possible.
- This measure makes it possible to dimension the actuator magnet coils smaller than when using, for example, an armature shaft made entirely of steel. Furthermore, with a smaller moving mass in the actuator, there are inevitably lower reaction forces which are introduced into the internal combustion engine structure surrounding the actuator, so that reduced noise emissions occur simultaneously with the measure according to the invention.
- Examples of preferred materials which are suitable for an anchor shaft with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 are titanium or titanium alloys and ceramic materials, all of which have a further advantageous property, namely an extremely low (magnetic) relative permeability.
- This (known) measurand defines the ferromagnetic property of a material, ie whether a material is a magnetic conductor or a magnetic non-conductor.
- On an electromagnetic actuator for actuating an internal combustion engine lift valve it may be additionally desirable to be able to determine the respective position of the oscillating armature, for which purpose contactless, in particular inductive, measuring systems can be used.
- Such a measuring system is preferably arranged near the end section of the armature shaft opposite the shaft of the lifting valve.
- the armature shaft at least in the area of this inductive measuring system from a material which (at least with regard to the magnetic field strengths occurring in this application) essentially is a magnetic non-conductor.
- the permeability of the material used in this anchor shaft area should therefore be close to that of, for example, air or vacuum.
- different sections of the anchor shaft can consist of different materials, each of which is essentially selected with regard to the requirements relevant to these sections.
- the individual sections of the anchor shaft are more or less long stumps which are lined up and assembled to form the anchor shaft.
- the reference numeral 1 denotes the armature (also referred to as the armature plate) of an electromagnetic actuator, with which an internal combustion engine lift valve, not shown, is actuated, ie opened (and closed).
- the entire system is analogous to the known one (and for example in The prior art shown in more detail above) is designed as a mechanical oscillator, ie suitable spring elements are also provided, which also cause the desired movement of the armature 1 and the lifting valve.
- the latter is supported with the free end of its valve stem on the free end face of the lower end section 2a of an anchor shaft 2 attached to the armature 1.
- the armature 1 and with it the armature shaft 2 and the internal combustion engine lift valve is moved in an oscillating manner along the axis 3 of the armature shaft 2 according to the direction of the arrow 4, this movement being arranged above and below the armature 1 and thereby the not shown here for the sake of simplicity
- Anchor shaft 2 surrounding electro-magnetic coils is initiated and maintained.
- the magnetic forces generated by the magnetic coils act alternately on the armature 1 (or on the armature plate 1).
- the armature 1 is guided longitudinally displaceably via its armature shaft 2 in guide bushes (not shown) provided in the actuator (in the direction of the arrow 4).
- the anchor shaft 2 shown here and now described in more detail is composed of different sections 2a to 2e, viewed in the direction of its longitudinal axis 3, each of which may or may consist of different materials. These materials are each selected essentially with regard to the requirements applicable to these sections 2a - 2e.
- the lower end section 2a already mentioned above is preferably extremely hard in order to have optimal wear and sliding properties with regard to the point-like contact with the stem of the internal combustion engine lift valve.
- preferred materials for this lower end section 2a are in particular hardened steels (valve steel, roller bearing steel) or other hard metals, such as tungsten carbide.
- central armature shaft sections 2d via which the armature shaft 2 is connected to the armature 1.
- the material for these central anchor shaft sections 2d is therefore selected with a view to enabling a simple and secure connection between the anchor shaft 2 and the anchor 1.
- This connection is preferably a welded or soldered connection.
- the material of the central anchor shaft sections 2d should therefore be readily weldable or solderable, so that low-alloy steels can in principle be used for these central anchor shaft sections 2d.
- a material can also be selected which, owing to its properties, allows this section 2d of the anchor shaft 2 to be preferably formed at least in regions with a cross section which is reduced compared to the rest of the region of the anchor shaft 2.
- a reduced cross-section not only enables a further reduction in the masses moved (in the actuator), but can additionally give the anchor shaft 2 a certain flexibility in this area.
- This reduction in cross section can be designed in the form of a circumferential groove and acts as a kind of joint in the anchor shaft 2.
- So-called guide sections 2c of the anchor shaft 2 adjoin the two central anchor shaft sections 2d along the longitudinal axis 3 in the direction of the two ends of the anchor shaft 2.
- the armature shaft 2 is guided in guide bushes (already mentioned above, not shown here for the sake of simplicity), which are integrated in the actuator or in its housing.
- the material used for the guide sections 2c should be relatively hard in order to achieve optimal wear and sliding properties.
- preferred materials for these guide sections 2c are hardened steels, such as valve steel or roller bearing steel, as well as suitable ceramics, such as SiN for good toughness or Al 2 O 3 for particularly good wear resistance.
- a spring plate section 2b viewed along the longitudinal axis 3 in the direction of the lower end section 2a of the anchor shaft 2, adjoins the lower guide section 2c here.
- a spring plate (not shown) is fastened to this spring plate section 2b, on which one of the spring elements already mentioned above, which form the oscillatory actuator system, is supported.
- the attachment of this dertellers can be carried out as is customary in the spring plates of internal combustion engine lift valves, that is to say, for example, by means of cone pieces provided with three circumferential lugs, a corresponding number of grooves (not shown) receiving these lugs being provided in this spring plate section 2b of the anchor shaft 2.
- this spring plate section 2c should have hard and tough properties; Examples of preferred materials for this spring plate section 2b are therefore typical martensitic materials, such as, for example, valve steel.
- the upper guide section 2c here adjoins along the longitudinal axis 3 in the direction of the upper free end of the anchor shaft 2, viewed in this case a so-called sensor section 2e forming its upper end.
- an inductively working measuring system (not shown in the figure) is provided in or on the actuator, with the aid of which the current position of the armature 1 (or more precisely the armature shaft 2, ie its sensor section 2e) can be determined.
- the sensor section 2e of the armature shaft 2 should be essentially non-magnetic, ie the sensor section 2e should not be magnetizable by the electro-magnetic coils actuating the armature 1.
- the relative permeability of the material for the sensor section 2e is considerably lower than that of steel (or nickel or cobalt) and preferably close to that of air or other non-magnetic materials, ie the material for this sensor section 2e is essentially a magnetic non-conductor, at least with regard to the magnetic field strengths that occur here.
- preferred materials for this sensor section 2e are titanium or titanium alloys or ceramic materials, but also austenitic steel as well Aluminum, all ceramics and alloys made of titanium, aluminum and magnesium.
- the material of at least one, but preferably several of the described sections 2a to 2e of the anchor shaft 2 also has a specific weight, which is significantly lower than that of steel.
- the term "essential” stands for an order of magnitude of at least 15%, ie the specific weight of the material of at least one of the sections 2a - 2e mentioned should be at least 15% below the specific weight of steel.
- the different materials of the respectively adjacent sections 2a to 2e can be produced, for example, by various welding processes, such as eg friction welding, laser beam welding, Soldering or capacitor discharge welding can be connected to each other.
- welding processes such as eg friction welding, laser beam welding, Soldering or capacitor discharge welding can be connected to each other.
- other common connection techniques are also possible, for example screwing, gluing or pouring.
