Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektromagnetischen Aktuator
mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator
with the features of the preamble of
Ein derartiger Aktuator ist beispielsweise in der älteren Patentanmeldung DE 198 24 537 A1 beschrieben.Such an actuator is for example in the older Patent Application DE 198 24 537 A1.
Üblicherweise ist das Übersetzungsverhältnis i für beide Elektromagnete gleich.Usually, the gear ratio is i for both Electromagnets same.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, den vorgeschlagenen Aktuator weiter zu optimieren.The invention is based on the object, the proposed Actuator to further optimize.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of
Für den Schließmagneten gilt, daß er wegen der Ventilschließkraft eine große Haltekraft aufweisen muß. Andererseits muß er wegen der beim Schließen geringen Gaskräfte eine relativ kleine Hubarbeit leisten.For the closing magnet applies that he because of the valve closing force must have a large holding power. on the other hand he has to because of the low gas forces when closing to do a relatively small lifting job.
Demgegenüber muß der Öffnungsmagnet wegen der relativ großen Gaskräfte beim Auslaßventil eine relativ große Hubarbeit leisten. Um Leistung zu sparen, sollte deshalb der Arbeitsluftspalt möglichst klein sein, was ein kleineres Übersetzungsverhältnis i für den Öffnungsmagneten erfordert.In contrast, the opening magnet must because of the relative large gas forces at the exhaust valve a relatively large lifting work Afford. Therefore, to save power, should the working air gap should be as small as possible, which is a smaller one Gear ratio i for the opening magnet requires.
Dagegen entwickelt der Schließmagnet bei größerem Übersetzungsverhältnis eine höhere Kraft an der Ventilachse.In contrast, the closing magnet develops at a larger gear ratio a higher force on the valve axis.
Aus diesen Überlegungen resultiert die Auslegung des Aktuators mit unterschiedlichem i für die beiden Elektromagnete.These considerations result in the design of the actuator with different i for the two electromagnets.
Bei dieser Auslegung der Elektromagnete wird der Schließmagnet klein. Die effektive Ankermasse wird durch die Formgebung des Ankers (z.B. mit trapezförmigem Querschnitt) geringfügig erhöht.In this design of the electromagnets, the closing magnet small. The effective anchor mass is determined by the Shaping the anchor (e.g., with a trapezoidal cross-section) slightly increased.
Der Öffnungsmagnet bekommt einen kleinen mittleren Luftspalt, was die Leistung vermindert.The opening magnet gets a small middle Air gap, which reduces the performance.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird wenigstens
einer der Magnete als Kennlinienmagnet ausgebildet. Hierbei
ist darauf zu achten, daß die Bemessungsregel des Patentanspruchs
1 eingehalten wird. Vorzugsweise wird der
Öffnungsmagnet als zweipoliger Tauchanker ausgebildet,
wobei das dem Öffnungsmagneten gegenüberliegende Ankerteil
derart ausgebildet ist, daß die in den Elektromagneten
eintauchenden Ankerteile näher zur Schwenkachse liegen
als die, diesen eintauchenden Ankerteilen zugeordneten
Polenden des Jochs.According to one embodiment of the invention is at least
one of the magnets is designed as a characteristic magnet. in this connection
Care must be taken that the design rule of the
Die Verwendung eines Kennlinienmagneten für den Öffnungsmagneten ist an sich aus der EP 0 970 298 A1 bekannt. Gegenüber dem zweiten Elektromagneten ist der Anker als Flachanker ausgebildet. Die Elektromagnete sind dort als Topfmagnete ausgebildet, wobei der Anker eine lineare Auf- und Abbewegung ausführt. Beim Stand der Technik ist der Anker gleitgelagert. Die durch Fertigungstoleranzen unvermeidlichen Luftspaltunterschiede haben relativ hohe Querkräfte zur Folge, wodurch Reibungskräfte bewirkt werden. Die Verwendung eines Kennlinienmagneten hat den Vorteil, daß die hohen Gaskräfte wegen der höheren Fernwirkungskraft eines solchen Elektromagneten leichter überwunden werden können. Im speziellen Fall des schwenkbaren Ankers wird durch die Erfindung die bewegte Masse des Ankers und damit der Energiebedarf klein gehalten. Die Verwendung eines oder mehrerer Wälzlager für die Schwenkbewegung des Ankers hat den Vorteil, daß durch Fertigungstoleranzen bedingte Querkräfte auf die Lagerung geringe Reibungsverluste mit sich bringen. Durch die Verwendung von Stanzteilen für den Anker und/oder die Joche, die als Feinstanzteile hergestellt werden können, können Toleranzen und Wirbelstromverluste klein gehalten werden. Außerdem kann das Joch zum Anker justiert werden. Die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Kennlinienmagneten ist auch ohne die Verwendung der Merkmale des A1 möglich.The use of a characteristic magnet for the opening magnet is known per se from EP 0 970 298 A1. Across from the second electromagnet is the anchor as Flat anchor formed. The electromagnets are there as Pot magnets formed, wherein the anchor is a linear Up and down movement performs. In the prior art is the anchor slidably mounted. The by manufacturing tolerances unavoidable air gap differences are relatively high Transverse forces result, whereby frictional forces are effected. The use of a characteristic magnet has the advantage that the high gas forces because of the higher telecontrol force overcome more easily such an electromagnet can be. In the special case of the swiveling Anchor is the moving mass of the anchor by the invention and thus the energy requirement kept small. The usage one or more rolling bearings for the pivoting movement the anchor has the advantage that by manufacturing tolerances conditional lateral forces on the storage low Frictional losses bring with it. By use punched parts for the anchor and / or the yokes, which can be produced as a fine stamped parts, can Tolerances and eddy current losses are kept small. In addition, the yoke can be adjusted to the anchor. The Use of the inventively designed characteristic magnet is also without the use of the features of the A1 possible.

Der schraffiert dargestellte Anker 3 hat hier im Querschnitt
die Form eines Trapezes mit nicht parallelen Seitenflächen.

näher bei der Schwenkachse 4 als das Zentrum 3a des
oberen Ankerteils. Die Pole der Elektromagneten sind so
angeordnet, daß sie den Ankerteilen mit den Zentren 3a
und 3b zugeordnet sind. Daraus folgt, daß das Übersetzungsverhältnis
i1 des Elektromagneten 1 größer als das
Übersetzungsverhältnis i2 des Elektromagneten 2 ist. Alternativ
könnte der Anker auch die Form einer Raute oder
eines Polygons aufweisen. The hatched
In der Fig. 2 sind ähnlich wie in Fig. 1 zwei Elektromagnete

auf einen Ventilschaft 20 einwirkt. Der Hebel 18 ist hier
in Wälzlagern 15 gelagert. Hier erzeugt der Torsionsstab
16 die gesamten Federkräfte. Auch hier gilt, daß i1 > i2
