Abstract

The valve has a pressurized membrane (5) to close and open a through passage (7) for gas. There is a valve chamber (8) on the opposite side of the membrane which is at ambient pressure (Pu). The outlet of the through passage leads directly to a cavity at ambient pressure. The membrane has a venting hole (9) to transmit ambient pressure to the valve chamber.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Druckregelventil mit einer druckbeaufschlagten Membran zum Verschließen und Öffnen eines Gasdurchtritts nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a pressure control valve with a pressurized membrane for closing and opening a gas passage according to the preamble of the main claim.

Es ist beispielsweise aus der DE-40 22 129 C2 bekannt, dass in einen Ansaugweg für den Verbrennungsmotor eines Kraftfahrzeuges ein Druckregelventil geschaltet wird. Beispielsweise wird dieses Druckregelventil auch in eine Entlüftungsleitung zwischen dem Kurbelgehäuse und dem Ansaugrohr bzw. dem Luftfilter oder in die Entlüftungsleitung des Kraftstofftanks in einem Kraftfahrzeug mittels zweier Flansche eingebaut. In jedem Fall geht es darum, den Druck oder Unterdruck in den zu entlüftenden Aggregaten nicht über einen vorbestimmten Wert hinaus ansteigen zu lassen. Hierzu ist eine Membran vorhanden, die z.B. gegen die Kraft einer Ventilfeder den Durchgang durch die Öffnung eines Kanals steuert und gegebenenfalls verschließt.It is known for example from DE-40 22 129 C2 that in an intake path for the internal combustion engine one Motor vehicle a pressure control valve is switched. For example, this pressure control valve is also in a Vent line between the crankcase and the intake pipe or the air filter or in the ventilation line of the fuel tank in a motor vehicle two flanges installed. In any case, it is about the pressure or negative pressure in the units to be vented do not rise above a predetermined value allow. A membrane is available for this purpose, e.g. against the force of a valve spring the passage through the Controls opening of a channel and closes if necessary.

Bei der bekannten Anordnung ist auf der Membranseite, die dem zu entlüftenden Aggregat gegenüberliegt, eine Belüftungsbohrung im Ventilgehäuse vorhanden, die diese Ventilkammer mit Atmosphärendruck beaufschlagt. In vielen Anwendungsfällen ist die Zuführung von Atmosphärendruck jedoch sehr aufwendig; wenn z.B. das Druckregelventil in einer abgeschlossenen Druckkammer liegt. Hier müsste der Atmosphären- oder Umgebungsdruck mit einem zusätzlichen Kanal bzw. mit einem Schlauch oder dergleichen zugeführt werden.In the known arrangement is on the membrane side that opposite the unit to be vented, a ventilation hole present in the valve housing that this valve chamber pressurized with atmospheric pressure. In many Applications are the supply of atmospheric pressure however very complex; if e.g. the pressure control valve in a closed pressure chamber. Here should be Atmospheric or ambient pressure with an additional Channel or supplied with a hose or the like become.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Druckregelventil nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs auf einfache Weise so fortzubilden, dass eine platzsparende Anbringung ohne großen Aufwand möglich ist.The invention has for its object a pressure control valve according to the preamble of the main claim to simple Way so that a space-saving attachment is possible without much effort.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Das erfindungsgemäße Druckregelventil mit einer druckbeaufschlagten Membran zum Verschließen und Öffnen eines Gasdurchtritts nach der eingangs angegebenen Art, löst die gestellte Aufgabe mit den im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Merkmalen. In vorteilhafter Weise ist das Druckregelventil so angeordnet, dass der Ausgang des Gasdurchtritts direkt in einem Raum mit Umgebungsdruck, in der Regel mit Atmosphärendruck, führt. In der Membran ist ein Belüftungsloch, z.B. eine Bohrung vorhanden, durch die eine auf der dem zu verschließenden und öffnenden Gasdurchtritt gegenüberliegenden Seite der Membran vorhandenen Ventilkammer direkt mit dem Umgebungsdruck beaufschlagt werden kann.The pressure control valve according to the invention with a pressurized Membrane for closing and opening a Gas passage according to the type specified at the outset, triggers the task set with those in the characterizing part of the main claim specified features. It is advantageous the pressure control valve is arranged so that the outlet of the Gas passage directly in a room with ambient pressure, usually with atmospheric pressure. In the membrane is a ventilation hole, e.g. there is a hole through the one on the one to be closed and opened Gas passage opposite side of the membrane existing valve chamber directly with the ambient pressure can be applied.

Die Membran ist vorzugsweise in der Ventilkammer beim Verschließen unter dem Druck einer Spiralfeder gegen die Gasdurchtrittsöffnung gedrückt. Das erfindungsgemäße Druckregelventil ist auf einfache Weise in einer Anordnung zur Entlüftung eines Kurbelwellengehäuses im Ansaugtrakt eines Verbrennungsmotors einsetzbar. Es ist hierbei vorteilhaft, dass das Druckregelventil platzsparend ohne Rücksicht auf Belüftungskanäle direkt in einen Druckkörper integriert werden kann, da ein zusätzliches Einbringen von Schläuchen oder Kanälen entfällt.The membrane is preferably in the valve chamber Lock under the pressure of a coil spring against the Gas passage opening pressed. The invention Pressure regulating valve is easily arranged for venting a crankshaft housing in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine can be used. It is here advantageous that the pressure control valve saves space without Consideration of ventilation channels directly in a pressure body can be integrated as an additional introduction of hoses or channels.

Diese und weitere Merkmale von bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der Erfindung gehen außer aus den Ansprüchen auch aus der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen hervor, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale jeweils für sich allein oder zu mehreren in Form von Unterkombinationen bei der Ausführungsform der Erfindung und auf anderen Gebieten verwirklicht sein und vorteilhafte sowie für sich schutzfähige Ausführungen darstellen können, für die hier Schutz beansprucht wird.These and other features of preferred further developments the invention also go out from the claims the description and the drawings, the individual characteristics individually or in groups in the form of sub-combinations in the embodiment of the invention and in other fields be and advantageous as well as protective designs can represent, for which protection is claimed here becomes.

Zeichnungdrawing

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Druckregelventil mit einer druckbeaufschlagten Membran zum Verschließen und Öffnen eines Gasdurchtritts in einer Entlüftungsanordnung für ein Kurbelwellengehäuse in einem Kraftfahrzeug wird anhand der Schnittansicht nach der einzigen Figur der Zeichnung erläutert. An embodiment of the pressure control valve according to the invention with a pressurized membrane to close and opening a gas passage in a vent assembly for a crankcase in one Motor vehicle is based on the sectional view of the single figure of the drawing explained.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

In der Figur ist Anordnung mit einem Druckregelventil 1 gezeigt, die im praktischen Betrieb die Aufgabe hat, dass durch das in eine Entlüftungsleitung zwischen dem Saugrohr und dem Kurbelgehäuse einer hier nicht näher gezeigten Brennkraftmaschine eingebaute Druckregelventil 1 Durchblasgas in Pfeilrichtung 2 hindurchgesaugt wird.The figure shows an arrangement with a pressure control valve 1 shown that has the task in practical operation that through that into a vent line between the intake manifold and the crankcase one not shown here Internal pressure control valve 1 Blow-by gas is drawn through in the direction of arrow 2.

Ein Gaseintritt 3 ist mit dem Kurbelgehäuse verbunden und wird an einer Verteilerplatte 4, bzw. an einem Vlieswickel, verteilt. Es ist eine Membran 5 vorhanden, die unter dem Druck einer am Gehäuse einer Ventilkammer 8 anliegenden Spiralfeder 6 an eine mit der Membran 5 verschließbare Öffnung 7 als Gasdurchtritt gedrückt wird. Die Öffnung 7 führt in einen Raum mit einem Umgebungsdruck Pu, in der Regel mit dem Atmosphärendruck.A gas inlet 3 is connected to the crankcase and is on a distributor plate 4, or on a fleece wrap, distributed. There is a membrane 5 under the pressure of an applied to the housing of a valve chamber 8 Coil spring 6 on a closable with the membrane 5 Opening 7 is pressed as a gas passage. The opening 7 leads into a room with an ambient pressure Pu, usually with atmospheric pressure.
