Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ventil zum Steuern von Flüssigkeiten gemäß der Gattung des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a valve for controlling Liquids according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der EP 0 477 400 A1 ist ein heute übliches Ventil beschrieben. Dort ist in einer Stufenbohrung des Ventilgehäuses ein Betätigungskolben des Ventilgliedes in einem Teil der Stufenbohrung mit kleinem Durchmesser verschiebbar angeordnet. Ein durch einen Piezoaktor bewegbarer größerer Kolben ist in einem Teil der Stufenbohrung mit größerem Durchmesser angeordnet. Zwischen den beiden Kolben ist ein mit einem Druckmedium gefüllter hydraulischer Druckraum ausgebildet, so daß eine hydraulische Übersetzung einer Bewegung des Piezoaktors erfolgt. Das heißt, wenn der größere Kolben durch den Piezoaktor um eine bestimmte Wegstrecke bewegt wird, macht der Betätigungskolben des Ventilgliedes einen um das Übersetzungverhältnis der Kolbendurchmesser vergrößerten Hub, da der Kolben des Piezoaktors eine größere Fläche als der Betätigungskolben des Ventilgliedes aufweist. Dabei liegen das Ventilglied, der Betätigungskolben des Ventilgliedes, der durch den Piezoaktor bewegte Kolben und der Piezoaktor auf einer gemeinsamen Achse hintereinander. In EP 0 477 400 A1 is a valve which is common today described. There is in a stepped bore of the Valve housing an actuating piston of the valve member in a part of the stepped bore with a small diameter slidably arranged. A through a piezoelectric actuator movable larger piston is in one part of the Stepped bore with a larger diameter. Between the two pistons are filled with a pressure medium formed hydraulic pressure chamber, so that a hydraulic translation of a movement of the piezoelectric actuator he follows. That is, when the larger piston through the Piezoaktor is moved by a certain distance makes the actuating piston of the valve member to a Translation ratio of the piston diameter enlarged Hub, because the piston of the piezo actuator has a larger area than having the actuating piston of the valve member. there are the valve member, the actuating piston of Valve member, the piston moved by the piezoelectric actuator and the piezoelectric actuator on a common axis in a row.

Ferner ist aus der Druckschrift US 5,738,071 ein hydraulisch betätigter Kraftstoffinjektor mit einem Injektorgehäuse bekannt, welcher einen Hydraulikfluideinlaß sowie eine Nadel-Steuerkammer aufweist. Eine hydraulische Einheit innerhalb des Injektors führt Kraftstoff dem Injektorgehäuse unter Druck zu. Die Hydraulikeinheit umfaßt ein elektromagnetisch betätigtes Steuerventil für das Hydraulikfluid und kann den Hydraulikfluideinlaß öffnen und schließen. Ein Nadelventilelement umfaßt eine dem Druck der Nadel-Steuerkammer ausgesetzte hydraulische Schließfläche. Zusätzlich ist ein den Elektromagneten einsetzendes Nadelsteuerventil vorgesehen, welches im Injektorgehäuse montiert ist und die Nadel-Steuerkammer mit einer Hochdruckfluidquelle verbindet bzw. davon absperren kann. Hierbei ermöglicht das langsame Ansprechverhalten des Hydraulikfluid-Steuerventils eine direkte Steuerung des schnell ansprechenden Nadelventils durch den einzig eingesetzten schnellwirkenden Elektromagneten.Furthermore, from the document US 5,738,071 a hydraulic actuated fuel injector with an injector housing known, which a hydraulic fluid inlet and a Needle control chamber has. A hydraulic unit Inside the injector, fuel passes to the injector housing under pressure too. The hydraulic unit includes a Electromagnetically actuated control valve for the Hydraulic fluid and can open the hydraulic fluid inlet and shut down. A needle valve element comprises a pressure of Needle control chamber exposed hydraulic closing surface. In addition, an electromagnet is used Needle control valve provided which in the injector is mounted and the needle control chamber with a High pressure fluid source connects or can shut off. This allows the slow response of the Hydraulic fluid control valve direct control of fast responding needle valve by the only used fast-acting electromagnet.

Schließlich ist aus dem Hause Bosch ein Injektor bekannt, der mit einem Servo-3/2-Sitz-Schieber-Ventil ausgerüstet ist.Finally, an injector is known from Bosch, equipped with a servo 3/2-seat slide valve is.

Bei diesen bekannten Systemen hat es sich als nachteilig herausgestellt, daß die Schieber eine sehr kurze Überdeckung aufweisen, so daß sie für PKW-Anwendungen mit Ventilhüben um ca. 0,3mm ungeeignet sind. Anstelle der bei diesen Systemen verwendeten Sitz-Schieber-Ventilen könnten zwar bekannte Doppelsitzventile die Problematik der kurzen Überdeckung in Verbindung mit Ventilhüben um ca. 0,3mm überwinden, jedoch sind die bekannten Doppelsitzventile nicht in der Praxis einsetzbar, da durch den nötigen Kraftausgleich zwei Sitze zu zwei Führungen in zumindest einem zweigeteilten Gehäuse führen würden. In these known systems, it has a disadvantage found that the slide a very short coverage so that they for car applications with valve lifts around about 0.3mm are unsuitable. Instead of using these systems Although used seat-slide valves could be known Double seat valves the problem of short coverage in Overcome connection with valve strokes by approx. 0.3mm, however the known double-seat valves are not in practice can be used because of the necessary force balance two seats to two guides in at least a two-part housing would lead.

Hierdurch wirken der erste und zweite Ventilkörper als eine Einheit und können in einem einstückigen Gehäuse eingesetzt werden. Zudem sind die Führung des ersten Ventilkörpers und die Führung des zweiten Ventilkörpers voneinander getrennt, und es ist nicht erforderlich, daß die beiden Führungen zueinander verlaufen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the Valve according to the invention for controlling fluids engages a clamping element on the ring, that the ball in the pan is pressed for a tight fit. As a result, the first and second valve bodies act as one Unit and can be used in a one-piece housing become.
