Definitions

  • the invention relates to a free piston otor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a free-piston engine is an internal combustion engine working according to the 2-stroke process, in which a hydraulic circuit with a piston pump is used as a drive train instead of a crank.
  • the engine piston is connected to a hydraulic cylinder, via which the translatory energy generated during an engine work cycle is fed directly to the hydraulic working medium without the classic detour via the rotary movement of a crank mechanism.
  • the downstream, storable hydraulic circuit is designed in such a way that it takes up the work that has been done, stores it temporarily and, depending on the power requirement, feeds it to a hydraulic output unit, for example an axial piston machine.
  • DE 40 24 591 AI describes a free-piston engine of the generic type, which is also known as a Brandl-free piston engine.
  • the compression movement of the engine piston takes place through interaction with a hydraulic piston, which can be connected to a high-pressure accumulator or a low-pressure accumulator via a 2/3-way switch valve 1.
  • the engine piston accelerates by pressurizing the hydraulic cylinder with the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator.
  • the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the low-pressure accumulator via the changeover valve 1, so that the further compression stroke of the engine piston takes place against the effective force from the compression pressure of the working gas.
  • the working gas After reaching the outer dead center (AT), the working gas is ignited and the engine piston is accelerated towards the inner dead center (IT).
  • the connection to the high-pressure accumulator is opened via the switch tventi 1 ert, so that the engine piston is braked and its kinetic energy is converted into potential hydraulic energy and the high-pressure accumulator is charged.
  • the switching times of the changeover valve are in the millisecond range, when opening and closing the connection to the high-pressure accumulator in the changeover valve throttle losses occur which can be in the order of 10% of the engine output.
  • the invention has for its object to develop the generic free piston engine in such a way that the throttle losses are reduced with minimal device complexity.
  • a valve arrangement with a control piston is connected between a hydraulic cylinder receiving a hydraulic piston and a changeover valve for selectively hydraulic connection of the hydraulic cylinder to a high-pressure accumulator device or a low-pressure accumulator, by means of which the hydraulic piston with one of the output pressure at the changeover valve or pressure force dependent on the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator can be applied.
  • the changeover valve can be designed for a much lower flow than in the prior art, so that short switching times with minimal throttle losses can be achieved.
  • control piston is designed with a control edge, via which a connection to the high-pressure accumulator can be opened.
  • the control piston thus draws its switching energy from the high-pressure storage device via its own control edge, so that the quantity of pressure medium flowing via the changeover valve is only required to initiate the upward movement of the control piston and is therefore minimal.
  • the pressure medium quantities flowing through the changeover valve can be minimized, so that the pressure losses when opening and closing the connection to the high-pressure accumulator are minimal.
  • the Querschm 'ttsflache of the control piston is advantageously greater than that of Hydraul ikkolbens formed, so that due to the selected gear ratio is sufficient, a comparatively small stroke of the control piston to cause a sufficient acceleration of the engine piston.
  • the opening movement of the control piston is limited by a stop. After the control piston has hit this stop, there is no further pressure build-up in the hydraulic cylinder, so that there is no further acceleration of the engine piston. That is, according to the invention, the closing of the changeover valve required in the prior art is replaced by the run-up of the control piston to the stop, so that the throttle occurring when the changeover valve closes can practically not occur.
  • This stop can be made adjustable in order to be able to adjust the maximum speed of the engine piston.
  • the control piston is reset during the combustion stroke essentially by the force of the control spring, whereby sufficient time is available for this closing process and practically no throttle losses occur.
  • the high-pressure storage device is loaded during the combustion stroke of the engine piston via a high-pressure channel in which a check valve is provided.
  • this high-pressure channel can be opened or closed via a further control edge of the control piston, so that the charging process is dependent on the position of the control piston.
  • a directional valve can be provided in the high-pressure channel leading to the high-pressure storage device, via which a bypass line that bypasses the check valve provided therein can be opened or closed.
  • the hydraulic piston can be subjected directly to the pressure in the high-pressure storage device during the compression stroke, while the control piston initially remains in its closed position. After the hydraulic piston has reached a predetermined acceleration or speed, the bypass line is then closed, so that the further movement of the hydraulic piston is determined in the manner described above by the control piston.
  • the directional control valve can optionally be provided with a switch position in which the high-pressure channel can be connected to the tank, so that the free piston can be moved towards its inner dead center practically without counter pressure.
  • control piston is designed as a stepped piston, the annular surface which is effective in the opening direction being connected to the low-pressure accumulator via a low-pressure channel with a check valve.
  • the larger annular end face of the control piston is acted upon by the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic piston and by the force of the control spring.
  • the annular space of the stepped piston is connected to the high-pressure accumulator via a pressure channel, so that the high-pressure accumulator device is charged when the control piston jerks back.
  • the rear circumferential edge of the larger end face of the stepped control piston is preferably designed in such a way that it opens the high-pressure channel shortly before the control piston runs onto its valve seat, so that the kinetic energy of the engine or hydraulic piston for loading the high pressure pressure storage device is used.
  • the high-pressure storage device can fluctuate relatively strongly due to other connected consumers, which can lead to discontinuities during the compression stroke of the free-piston engine.
  • This is connected to the high-pressure accumulator via a suitable ventilating device and is kept at a pressure level which is below the minimum level of the high-pressure accumulator. If a limit pressure is exceeded, the pressure in the medium pressure accumulator can be reduced towards the low pressure accumulator.
  • the high-pressure accumulator feeding the medium-pressure accumulator is then advantageously charged.
  • the hydraulic piston is designed as a differential piston, an annular space delimited by the differential piston being able to be connected to the low-pressure accumulator during the expansion stroke and the annular space of a stepped control piston during the compression stroke.
  • the free piston engine according to the invention can be particularly compact if the transmission valve arrangement is designed coaxially with the engine piston axis.
  • the valve arrangement is preferably designed as a logic valve or slide valve.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a free piston engine
  • Figure 7 shows another embodiment of a free piston engine according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 shows an exemplary embodiment of a free-piston engine with a directional valve for hydraulic limitation of the engine piston speed

  • FIG. 10 shows a variant of the free-piston engine according to FIG. 9 with a hydraulic piston and a hydraulic cylinder
  • Figure 11 shows an embodiment of a free-piston engine with a medium pressure accumulator.
  • FIG. 1 shows a highly simplified, schematic illustration of a free-piston engine 1 according to the invention.
  • This has a motor housing 2, through which at least one combustion cylinder 4 (to the right of the dash-dotted line in FIG. 1) and a hydraulic cylinder 6 (to the left of the dash-dotted vertical line) ) are limited.
  • An engine piston 10 is guided in a cylinder bore 8 of the combustion cylinder 4, via which the cylinder bore 8 is divided into a combustion chamber 16 and an inlet chamber 18.
  • the engine piston 10 In the illustrated waiting position of the free-piston engine 1, the engine piston 10 is at its inner dead center (IT), an outlet channel 14 being opened so that combustion gases can flow out of the combustion chamber 16.
  • Fresh gas is supplied via an inlet channel 20 opening into the rear inlet space 18 with an inlet valve.
  • the inlet chamber 18 and the combustion chamber 16 are connected to one another by means of an overflow channel 22.
  • the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber 16 via an injection valve 24 in the cylinder head of the combustion cylinder Indian 4.
  • 4 cooling channels 27 are formed in the peripheral wall of the combustion cylinder.
  • the free piston engine 1 corresponds to a conventional two-stroke engine, so that further versions are unnecessary.
  • the engine piston 10 carries a hydraulic piston 26, the diameter of which is substantially smaller than that of the engine piston 10 is. This hydraulic piston 26 plunges into a stepped axial bore 28 of the hydraulic cylinder 6.
  • Sealing devices are provided so that the media accommodated in the combustion cylinder 4 and in the hydraulic cylinder 6 are separated from one another.
  • a low pressure accumulator 36 for example a pressure medium tank, is connected via a low pressure channel 38 and a check valve 40 to the space delimited by the axial bore 28.
  • the check valve 40 prevents a backflow of the pressure medium received in the axial bore 28 to the low pressure accumulator 36, while the check valve 32 prevents a backflow of the pressure medium received in the high pressure accumulator 34 into the axial bore 28.
  • the hydraulic piston 26 passes through the axial bore 28 and dips into a control chamber 42 in which a control piston 44 designed as a piston is guided. This is biased against a valve seat 48 by means of a control spring 46.
  • a pressure channel 50 opens, which is connected on the one hand to the high-pressure accumulator 34 and on the other hand to an input port P of a changeover valve 52.
  • a pilot space 54 adjoining the end face of the control piston 44 is connected via a control channel 56 to an output or working port A of the switching valve 52.
  • This is designed as an electrically or electrohydraulically controlled 3/2-way valve which can be controlled via the motor control (not shown).
  • P the switching valve 52 also has a tank connection T, which is connected to a tank or the low-pressure accumulator 36.
  • the tank connection T and the working connection A are connected to one another, while the pressure connection P is shut off.
  • the pressure port P is connected to the working port A and the tank port T is shut off.
  • the control piston 44 is seated in the basic position of the free piston engine 1 on the valve seat 48, so that the pilot chamber 54 and the control chamber 42 are shut off from each other.
  • the control piston 44 of the logic valve is acted upon in the closing direction by the force of the control spring 46 and by the pressure in the axial bore 28 and thus in the rear control chamber 42, while it is acted upon in the opening direction by the pressure in the pilot control chamber 54.
  • the changeover valve 52 is brought into a second switching position via the engine control, in which, according to FIG. 2, the pressure port P is connected to the working port A, so that pressure medium from the high-pressure accumulator 34 via the pressure channel 50 and the control channel 56 into the Pilot room 54 is fed. That is, the end face of the control piston 44 is subjected to high pressure, while low pressure is still effective in the control chamber 42. Due to the pressure difference, the control piston 44 is lifted from its valve seat 48 and the connection between the pilot chamber 54 and the pressure channel 50 is opened via the control edge 58 formed by the peripheral edge of the control piston 44.
  • the control piston thus receives its acceleration energy as a function of the control edge opening, through which the end face of the control piston 44 is directly subjected to the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator 34. Due to the resulting axial movement of the control piston 44, the hydraulic piston 26 is also accelerated and moved to the right in accordance with the engine piston 10 in the illustration according to FIG. 2 - the outlet channel 14 and the overflow channel 22 are controlled by the engine piston 10 and this in the combustion chamber 16 existing fresh gas is compressed.
  • the check valve 40 prevents pressure medium from flowing out of the axial bore 28 into the low-pressure accumulator 36 during the control piston movement.
  • the control piston 44 runs against a stop 60 in the control chamber 42 after a predetermined distance D.
  • the accelerated to its maximum speed engine piston 10 moves due to its inertia towards AT, whereby pressure medium is drawn in from the low-pressure accumulator 36 via the check valve 40 and the low-pressure channel 38 by the vacuum created in the axial bore 28.
  • the position of the stop 60 is selected such that the kinetic energy of the engine piston 10 at the time the control piston 44 hits the stop 60 is sufficient to move the engine piston 10 toward the AT against the polytropically increasing compression pressure of the fresh gas in the combustion chamber 16 ,
  • the engine piston 10 is braked by the compression pressure and comes to a standstill.
  • the changeover valve 52 When the IT is reached, the changeover valve 52 is switched to its basic position, so that the end face of the control piston 44 is acted on by low pressure.
  • the piston positions and pressure conditions now correspond to the initial conditions as described with reference to FIG. 1.
  • a new work cycle can begin.
  • the acceleration of the engine piston 10 and thus the compression ratio of the free piston engine 1 is significantly influenced in the cycle described above by the length of the distance D, which the control piston 44 travels in the acceleration phase.
  • the stop 60 for the control piston 44 can be designed to be adjustable. This adjustment can take place, for example, via the engine control.
  • the high-pressure channel 30 opens into the control chamber 42. This has the effect that the high-pressure channel 30 is opened or closed by a further control edge 62 formed on the piston skirt of the control piston 44, so that the control movement of the control piston 44 is further optimized and a quick closing of the logic valve is guaranteed.
  • the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7 corresponds to the previously described exemplary embodiment, so that further explanations are unnecessary.
  • slide valve instead of the logic valve (seat valve) used in the exemplary embodiments described above, a slide valve can of course also be used.
  • the axis of the logic valve is designed coaxially with the axis of the combustion cylinder.
  • other relative positions can also be realized in which the hydraulic connection to the hydraulic cylinder 6 is ensured.

  • the basic structure of the free-piston engine shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to that shown in FIG Embodiment, so that only the newly added components are described below.
  • the check valve 32 can be bypassed via a bypass line 72, into which the directional valve 70 is connected.
  • the directional control valve is designed with three switching positions, the bypass line 72 being open in switching position a and a connection to the tank being shut off. In the basic position 0, both the connection to the tank and the bypass line 72 are blocked. In the switching position identified by b, the area of the high-pressure duct 30 upstream of the check valve 32 can be connected to the tank, so that the pressure in the axial bore 28 can be reduced toward the tank.
  • the changeover valve 52 is brought into the working position, as in the exemplary embodiments described above, so that the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator 34 is applied to the left end face of the control piston 44.
  • the directional control valve 70 is brought into the switching position shown, in which the check valve 32 is bypassed, so that the pressure in the hydraulic accumulator 34 also acts in the axial bore 28 and thus on the rear of the control piston 44. Due to the hydraulic balance of forces, the control piston 44 is then biased into its closed position by the force of the control spring 46.
  • the hydraulic piston 26 Due to the pressure in the axial bore 28, the hydraulic piston 26 is accelerated and the compression stroke of the engine piston 10 is initiated.
  • the directional control valve 70 is brought into its blocking position marked 0, so that the bypass line 72 is shut off and the pressure medium is supplied from the high-pressure accumulator 34 in the axial bore 28 is prevented.
  • the control piston 44 lifts off its valve seat 48, so that the further movement of the engine piston 10 is determined by the axial movement of the control piston 44.
  • a variable starting speed of the engine piston 10 can thus be set before the control piston 44 takes effect. This variable initial speed can be adapted as a function of the operating conditions and the opening stroke and the opening time by actuating the directional control valve 70.

  • the directional control valve 70 must be designed with a correspondingly large nominal size. If one is satisfied with the relatively low initial speeds of the engine piston 10, the directional control valve 70 can be made very small, so that, due to the low pressure medium flows, rapid switching and low losses occur in the area of the directional control valve 70.
  • switch position b the axial bore 28 is relieved of pressure, so that the hydraulic piston 26 or the engine piston 10 can be moved further to the internal dead center (IT) in the event of a misfire after the switchover.
  • FIG. 9 shows an embodiment which corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 with regard to the basic structure. That is to say, also in the variant shown in FIG. 9, the high-pressure channel 30 is opened or closed by a rear control edge 72 of the control piston 44.
