Description

  • La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements apportés à des pilotes électro-pneumatiques. Elle vise plus particulièrement un pilote de petites dimensions (c'est-à-dire présentant une longueur de l'ordre de 3 cm), et de faible puissance, ayant des interfaces électrique standard et pneumatique simple à mettre en place, ce qui permet de réaliser des ensembles du type cartouche. Une soupape à commande électromagnétique comportant une bague et une ouverture pour le passage de fluide est connue de la US -A-5 127 625 .
  • Le problème technique qu'entend résoudre l'invention est celui qui consiste à obtenir une excellente optimisation du circuit magnétique et du circuit de fluide, ceci avec une faible augmentation du prix de revient.
  • La solution à ce problème technique est apportée, selon la présente invention, par un pilote électro-pneumatique caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une bague de flux interposée entre le noyau mobile, l'étrier et la carcasse du sous-ensemble électromagnétique du pilote, ladite bague prenant appui sur le ressort de rappel du noyau mobile et étant munie d'une fente longitudinale coopérant avec des passages correspondants prévus dans la carcasse, entre le noyau mobile et cette dernière, pour le passage du fluide vers l'échappement du pilote.
  • Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention, la carcasse présente une section de forme elliptique et l'on ménage dans son alésage destiné à recevoir le noyau mobile, des canaux latéraux pour le passage du fluide vers l'échappement, ces canaux communiquant avec la fente de la bague de flux.
  • Selon la présente invention, l'interface électrique du sous-ensemble électromagnétique du pilote est réalisée par l'intermédiaire de deux pinoches pouvant se brancher sur des connecteurs de circuits imprimés standard.
  • D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description faite ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent un exemple de réalisation dépourvu de tout caractère limitatif. Sur les dessins :
    • la figure 1 est une coupe axiale longitudinale d'un pilote électro-pneumatique selon la présente invention ;
    • la figure 2 est une coupe selon 2-2 de la figure 1 ;
    • la figure 3 est une coupe selon 3-3 de la figure 1 ;
    • la figure 4 est une coupe axiale verticale, passant par l'étrier du sous-ensemble électro-magnétique du pilote illustré par la figure 1 ;
    • la figure 5 est une coupe selon 5-5 de la figure 6 représentant un double pilote réalisé conformément à l'invention, par l'assemblage de deux pilotes selon les figures 1 à 4 et
    • la figure 6 est une coupe selon 6-6 de la figure 5.
  • En se référant aux dessins et plus particulièrement aux figures 1 à 4, on voit que le pilote selon la présente invention comporte comme connu un sous-ensemble électromagnétique désigné par la référence 10, sur lequel vient se monter un sous-ensemble de commutation pneumatique 12. Ce dernier comporte la voie d'admission de pression 14 et la voie d'utilisation 13 ainsi qu'un clapet 15 servant d'organe d'obturation à la voie d'admission de pression 14, ce clapet 15 étant monté dans une plaque 16 dans laquelle est ménagé le siège de ce clapet.
  • Le sous-ensemble électromagnétique 10 comporte une carcasse 17 recevant la bobine 18 de l'électro-aimant, l'alésage interne de la carcasse 17 recevant la culasse fixe 19 ainsi que le noyau mobile 20 de l'électro-aimant. Ce noyau mobile 20 est rappelé par un ressort 21. Les éléments constitutifs de ce sous-ensemble 10 sont maintenus dans un étrier 22. Il s'agit là de dispositions connues de l'Homme de l'art et pour ces raisons, toute description complémentaire paraît superflue.
  • Selon la présente invention, on interpose une bague de flux 23 entre le noyau mobile 20, l'étrier 22 et la carcasse 17, cette bague venant prendre appui sur le ressort 21 du noyau mobile 20, ainsi qu'on le voit clairement sur les figures 1 et 4. La bague de flux 23 comporte une fente longitudinale 24 (voir les figures 2 et 4) de façon à permettre le passage du fluide vers la voie d'échappement 25. A cet effet, la carcasse 17 comporte des canaux latéraux 26 débouchant d'une part sur la fente 24 et d'autre part sur l'échappement 25. Grâce à cette disposition, on obtient une meilleure optimisation du circuit magnétique et du circuit de fluide, pour un faible surcoût dû à la présence de la bague de flux fendue, cette dernière permettant le passage du fluide dans la culasse.
  • Selon la présente invention, la fente 24 est dimensionnée de façon à obtenir le débit requis sur la voie d'échappement 25. La bague de flux 23 maintenue par le ressort 21 du noyau mobile 20, sort suffisamment de son logement dans l'étrier 22 pour permettre un passage du fluide malgré la présence du ressort 21. On notera que la bague de flux participe également au centrage des divers éléments décrits ci-dessus, constituant le sous-ensemble électromagnétique 10 du pilote selon la présente invention.
  • Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré ici, la carcasse 17 présente une section de forme sensiblement elliptique (voir la figure 3). Les canaux latéraux 26 communiquant avec la fente 24 de la bague de flux 23, sont ménagés longitudinalement dans l'alésage de la carcasse 17 recevant le noyau mobile 20. Cette caractéristique, c'est-à-dire la section elliptique de la carcasse 17, permet, pour une même largeur, de réaliser facilement les passages de fluide et d'augmenter le volume du cuivre de la bobine 18.
  • L'interface électrique du sous-ensemble électromagnétique 10 est réalisée par l'intermédiaire de deux pinoches telles que 27 pouvant se brancher sur des connecteurs de circuits imprimés standard.
  • L'invention permet notamment de réaliser des ensembles constitués par le couplage et l'assemblage de plusieurs pilotes tels que décrits ci-dessus. Ainsi, on a représenté sur les figures 5 et 6, une double pilote dans lequel chacun des pilotes 30, 30' présente les caractéristiques du pilote illustré par les figures 1 à 4.
  • Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus, mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes.
